TIoNAL TRIBUNE's pertinent reference to the
so called " Society OF the Army of the Tennes-
see." The Chicago Times criticism is also to
the point. A new organization should be
formed, broad enough to take in every man
who served in the gallant old organization. A
good time and place to do this would be next
year at San Francisco. There promises to be q
great gathering of Grand Army men there to
attend the Reunion. and the Army of the Ten
nessee will undoubtedly be well represented.
The writer was an officer in the Army of
the Tennessee, sharing its fortunes from Padu-
cab to the Gulf. and is therefore eligible to
membership in the above mentioned close cor
poration but the thing has always appeared
so narrow, unjust and absurd that he has kept
out of it. Comrades of the Army of the Ten
nessee, let us organize!-OLD THIRTEENTH

In the DAYS of the Draft.

To THE EDITOR: In the days of the draft
many jokes were perpetrated, which l think
would be interesting and amusing to many of
the old soldiers who read THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE. If we may believe the following,
which appeared i'll the Philadelphia Press in
1865 there were some who fed to the noun
tains to avoid the draft, even in Pennsylvania ::
wild man has been discovered in a forest In
Clearfeld County. lie covered all over with
cotton, like down, and when captured was able to
speak only one word draft" He had forgotten
all the rest OF the English language. This story
may be true, since large numbers of the residents
fed to the woods during the late draft. Many are
yet missing, so that more wild men may yet be
caught.
Many were the misunderstanding relative
to the substitutes who, for consideration took
the place of those who were drafted and were
willing and able to pay man to fight for them
A man who was drafted and his wife, sorely
distressed at the idea Of parting, were vainly
endeavoring to invent some excuse for getting
him exempted, when knock was heard at the
door. On opening it she found rough look
ing chap, who accosted her thus:
Madam, l hear your husband has been
drafted"
eyes, sir" she replied, "he has but good
ness knows how / am to spare him."
"Well, ma'am, I've come to offer my services
as substitute for him."
"a what? asks the now excited lady.
II wish to take his place." answered the
man.
"You-you take the place of my husband,
you vagabond! I'll teach you to insult poor,
lone woman in distress, you mean, dirty
wretch z" cried the prospective widow, accom-
panying her remarks with discharge of dirty
water at the head of the astonished substitute,
who fed hastily down the stairs just in time
to escape the pail which followed the water

Parties have been transpiring in such rapid
succession of late that 1t is almost impossible
To keep track of them. The most notable and
likewise the most enjoyable of the winter
were those given at the Spear building by the
young mems club and at the Hope House by
Landlord Myers on Washington's birthday.
At the Spear building there were forty-one
couples. Dancing was continued until about
six O'Clock in the morning. A Iivelier scene
never was witnessed. A perfect floor, the
best of music, and all hands full of enjoyment
and good irnmOr, there was nothing TO mar

judge by the broad smile on friend Johns Jolly

Death Of Mrs. John Il. RAYMOND

WASHINGTON Feb. 20.-Mrs John b. Ray
mond, wife of John B. Raymond, delegate in
congress from Dakota, died at the Providence
hospital this morning from the effects of sur
gical operation performed last Monday. She
had been an invalid for six years, and in that
time three previous operations had been per-
formed. Yesterday afternoon it was thought
she was getting better, and it was not until
late in the evening that signs Of the worst ap-
peared. Mrs. Raymond leaves three children,
boy of eighteen, and two girls of five and six.
Her maiden name was Mary Kilker, and her
home was indianapolis, Ind. Mr.. and Mrs.
Raymond were married in Vickshurg, Miss,
in November, 1866 The nature of her malady
was such that she had no expectation of living
long unless by an operation she might be
wholly cured. Knowing this, she bravely de-
oldeJf to take the chances at the hands of the
surgeons. The first effects from the operation
We're such as to give her and her friends strong
hopes of her ultimate recovery. Yesterday,
Mr.. Raymond was very cheerful in the hope and
prospects Of this result. The funeral will take
place from the residence of Oscar Whitney,
Rhode Island avenne Sunday afternoon, and
the remains will be buried in Oak Hill ceme-
terry, Georgetown. Mrs. Raymond was very
popular in Washington society, and with her
husband was most liberal entertainer. .-P0-

Base Bali in Midwinter.

The most closely contested game OF base ball
ever played on the diamond field in Hope was
that of Thursday, the 26th INST. match had
been talked of for some days previous between
the east and west end boys of Hope, and finally
they concluded to play on Thursday, if the day
was pleasant Thursday dawned bright and
warm, with little wind, and by 2 O'clock the
thermometer registered about 80 above zero.
The mines met on the ground about 2 p. m.,
and Immediately proceeded to choose up for
innings tla Eastenders taking first inning,
when the fun commenced. 1t was agreed TO
play five innings. 1t was no soft glove contest
The boys went at it with bare hands and did
some good playing. There We're fifty or more
persons present who will bear witness to the
fact that this is no newspaper story to misleatl
people, but M actual fact. What think you of
game of base hall being played in North
Dakota in midwinter-in country where it is
generally supposed a man dare not stick his
nose outside the door of his house from the be-
ginning of winter till spring? 1t was close
contest till near the close of the game, when,
the east end boys claim, the weaker side won
the sympathy Of the umpire, and the umpire
won the game. Tho score stood 10 to II in
favor Of the westenders A match has been
arranged between the same mines for $25 a
side to be played OH the 18th Of March, wind
and weather being favorable. Following is a

CROoKsTON, Mimi, Feb. 1S.-A scheme 1Ias
been talked Of for some time of building rail-
road line from Crookston to connect with the
Fargo Southern at Fargo, and it has trans
pired that those directly interested in its &c.
cOmplishment met few days since in secret
conference. At the meeting Mr.. T. b. Walker
was appointed president of the company to he
formed. The Hon. H. B. Sampson is largely
interested in the. work, AMI by his suggestion
money sufficient to have the route surveyed
was raised. The survey will I,e made, and il
the scheme is PRACTICAL, right of way will be
secured and articles Of incorporation of the
Crookston & Fargo Railroad company will be
arranged and filed with the secretary of state.
The chief interest in building this line is to OK
tend the territory tributary to Crookst0n, and
have route from Dakota over which wheat
can be brought in and lumber he shipped out
of this city. Those interested i'll the enterprise
say that should they secure right Of way, either
the Fargo Southern or Manitoba companies
will buy them out. Tho distance on an air
line between the two cities is eighty miles, the
land being all prairie, which will allow line
