The Russian SOLDIERS Tea.

That a soldier, and especially Rus
sian, is fond of his whiskey is fact
that is very well known, yet if the lat
ter had his choice which of the two to
dispense with Whiskey or tea-I firm
" believe he would prefer the tea.
Every company is supplied with an
immense tea urn holding hundreds of
cups of boiling water, and at evening
each soldier can swallow his ten cups
less than that won't do-of hot tea.
If he is on guard the yiYandiere takes
pity on him and brings the delightful
beverage to the guard house where,
for a few coppers, he can drink with
comfort the bright yellow fluid, one
tenth of which surely does not deserve
the name tea. Hebe, enveloped in a
sheepskin, is the friend of the com
pany, and the seVerest weather
will not prevent her journey to the
guard house in order to solace her chill
dren with their precious tea.

A Loyal Parish, J;

send you a "Reminiscences of the
reign of terror that existed in Cata-
houla Parish, La, during the late war.
1t is a Union song. and was composed
and written in 1863 by an old gentle
man named James Graham, who was
living here then. As a preface [
would say that this parish was OPP
posed to secession, and many of us
determined that, let come what might,
we would never lift a gun against the
old flag. Among us was the author
Of this song. Ostracised, prosecuted,
and expelled from society because of
our loyal sentiments, we naturally
formed associations among ourselves.
Mr. Graham had nc home of his own,
but lived about among US, following
the vocation of a shoemaker, and at
night and other odd times when no.
secessionist was present, would enter
tain us by singing his song to the air
Of sold Rosin the Bow After the
passage of the conscript act by the
Confederacy seeing we could no lon
ger remain at our homes, we sought
safety in the woods and jungles where
we remained secreted for a great
length of time. The conscript hun
ters finding themselves foiled sent off
and procured bloc dhounds, with which
they began to scour the woods in
search of us. Then followed a gene
raj exodus Of us to the Federal lines
at Natchez, Miss, and among us Mr..
Graham. On arriving there some of
US took service in the Federal army,
others obtained government work,
while others went North. The last
that was seen of old man Graham he
was on board a Federal transport
waving his hat to us, as she backed
out from Natchez-unde Hill
bound northward, since when we have
never seen or heard of him. Those Of
us who survived the struggle returned
after it was over, to our desolate
homes in this parish. Many moons
have come and gone. and many chan
ges have taken place here since the
old man last tuned his rough, though.
patriotic, air among us, yet the few of
US left who weathered the storm still
fondly cherish its remem brance, inter
laced as it is with the halloWed and
glorious memories that encircle it.
And now after we have lived to rea-
lie the hope expressed in the last
verse of the old mans strain we would
like to read his song, together with
his letter of explanation, in your loyal
and patriotic columns, and thereby
feel Virgil verified: ssHaeo OHM
meminisse juyabit."

A Romantic Meeting

+.
Two strangers met casually in
langfit's saloon on Second avenue
about six weeks. ago. Both had been
soldiers in the late war, but had fought
on opposite sides, as subsequent facts
brought out.
A young girl was there playing on
an organet for her own amusement.
She finally struck up the old familiar
Union song, Tramp, Tramp, the
Boys Are Marching"
s.That's right, my girl" spoke up
one of the men. 'sPlay that tune. It
reminds me Of old times and / like the
air.
"But don't like it, interposed the
other stranger. Il hate the song.
Don't play it. Play something else,
'.But she shall play it, exclaimed
the first man fercely.
No, she won't" was the determined
answer.
The child was frightened, and look
ing up into the faces of the men said:
80, sirs, don't quarrel. I will play
angels of Heaven Defend Us in
stead"
But the Union man was not salts
fed, and was determined to have his
song. The Confederate was equally
obstinate and the courtesies exchang-
ed were not according to the best
usages in society.
"Who are your" asked the souther-
ner in rage.
Men called me the P..umed Scout
in the late war. am the man who
captured Gen. William N. Pendleton
at Sailors Creek" was the answer.
'.You are! Well, / have heard of
you, and since you have been frank
with me / will be equally as open with
you. My name is Semmes, the son of
Commodore Semmes, the commander
of the Alabama. am the unknown
Captain of the Merrimac. who was
supposed to have been lost when the
vessel was captured by the Monitor.
Read history and you will find that
the Captain of the ILL starred iron-clad
was never known; / am the man. For
reasons known to myself I never pro-
claimed my identity, but I can easily
prove that ! am the son of Captain
semmes, : and the stranger produced
the necessary papers.
He appeared to be a machinist and
led a Bohemian life. The aPlumed
Scout now lives on the South Side,
and it is he who told the story of the
meeting to a Dispatch reporter. PITTS

An Unpublished Lincoln Letter,

The following passage from the
Century Lincoln Life" for May, con-
tains a letter by Lincoln, written in
1861, and hitherto unpublished:
aFor the moment the leading Union
lists of Maryland deemed their true
role one of patience and Cancellation.
In this spirit Reyerdy Johnson, a law
yer and statesman Of fame and influ-
jence both at home and abroad, came
to Lincoln upon the stereotyped err
rand to obtain some assurance in writ
ing that he meditated no invasion or
subjugation of the South; to which
the President confdentially replied:
I forebore to answer yours of the
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1888-06-20

22d because OF my aversion (which /
thought you understood to getting on
paper and furnishing new grounds for
understanding. I do say the sole
purpose of bringing troops here is to
defend this Capital. do say I have
no purpose to invade Virginia with
them or any other troops, as I under
stand the word invasion. But suppose
Virginia sends her troops, or admits
others through her borders, to assail
this Capital, am / not to repel them
even to the crossing of the Potomac,
if I can? Suppose Virginia erects, or
permits to be erected, batteries on the
opposite shore to lombard the city,
are we to stand still and see it done?
In a word, if Virginia strikes us, are
we not to strike back. and as effective
lyas we can? Again, are we not to
hold Fort Monroe (for instance), if we
can? I have no objection to declare a
thousand times that have no purpose
to invade Virginia or any other State,
but / do not mean to let them invade
US without striking back
'sMr. johnson replied, thanking the
President for his frankness, and in
dorsing all his policy. In word, said
he, all that your note suggests would
be my purpose were I intrusted with
your high Office He also promised
that the Presidents note should be
held perfectly confidential But it
appears that Mr.. Johnson chose his
confdants with very poor Judgment;
for within four days its substance was
written from Washington direct to
Jefferson Davis"

A Union song

Come all you true lovers of glory,
Come listen awhile to my song,
And when you have heard the whole story
Not one of you'll say ] am wrong.
ALL you that are true to the Nation
Attend to human1ty's call,
Come aid in your counJrv's salvation,
And wind up the secession ball.
Come, now, Ietus all join together,
Our glorious old Union to save;
"A few more light changes OF weather.
The Union in triumph will wave.
Come all you young men of the country,
And all you ray-headed ones, too,
Come out on the side of bright glory,
And give the old Union its due.
Itseems from the course they're pursuing
That we should arise one and all
And save our good country from rum,
And wind up the secession ball.
Secession is trying to ruin,
Oh save us! Oh save us from thrall!
Let us now put an end to their dong,
And wind up the secession ball.
Our women and children are crying,
We're bound to attend to their call,
Our husbands and fathers are dying;
Oh! wind up the secession ball.
The country 1t has discounted,
And caused many houses to burn,
And cold-blooded murder comm tilted,
And widows and orphans to NOUN.
Itseems they will breed famine, L
They're pressing hard down on the poor,
And il you will closely examine,
Starvation is now at the door.
They're calling again for assistance,
1t seems that they nothing can gain,
can see no use for resistance;
Their cause they can never sustain.
Come, let us arise from our slumbers
Pursuing our path with delight;
Rushing through all that encumbers,
And put the secession to flight.
Though some may be tall as great cedars,
We're able to bring them all down;
Well shut up the mouths of their leaders,
And saw off the secession horn.
Well make them all sick of their bargain,
While we have the Lord on our side;
Wen mount on our glorious old wagon,
And on the old Union well ride.
I've never seen cause for rebelling;
lis treason in the highest degree,
And to think of the lies they are telling, !,
Is really distressing to me.
Now, if you would save the old Nation
And have the good Lord on our side
just aid in your eountry's salvation.
And on the old Union We'll ride.
All hail to the glorious old Union,
Once more do we hope to enjoy,
And join it in sweet test communion,
And secessionism destroy.

About Queens.

Queen Victoria has now reigned
over England longer than any mon
arch but tWo-Henry LII. and George
III. She overlook Queen Elizabeth
six years ago and has outdone Edward
Ill, who only reigned l48 days over
half a century. If she lives a few
years longer Victoria will have reigned
longer than any royal parsonage of
history.
Queen Marguerite Of Italy shows
more and more fondness for American
literature, and, it is said, gets all the
leading magazines published in the
United States.
Queen Olga of Greece is practical,
dresses plainly, and goes in for do
mestic economy, ETC., even making her
own bonnets, it is said.
Dagnar Of Russia, the Princess of
Wales sister, is said to be politically
smart, though not intellectual other
wise. Like all her sisters she is clever
with her needle, as they had to make
their own clothes before their father
got to be king
The Queen of Spain recently, after
the performance, called Sarah Bern
hardt into the box and gave her a
bouquet tied in ribbon and secured by
a splendid sapphire mounted with dia.
monds.
Marie, the daughter Of the Empress
Of Austria, is about to marry Prince
Ruprecht of Bavaria, who is, according
to loyal Jacobites, the heir apparent to
the English throne.
Victoria of Germany, it is said, tas-
ties portions of every article of food
intended for the Emperor, and super
intends the preparation of most of it
herself.
Queen Elizabeth Of Roumania is in
tensely musical, fond of dancing, and
has written ballet.
Olga Of Greece is the most beautiful
Queen Of Europe and is sister-in-law
of the Empress Of Russia and the
Princess of Wales.
The Queen Of Denmark is intensely
deaf, but fond OF music, and has
big and powerful organ that she can
hear.
Elizabeth of Austria has developed
an unfortunate skin disease and wears
a veil continually.
Isabella, ex-Queen OF the Spaniards
when she appears abroad wears cos
tune much the same as that of a nun.
The Queen of England's grandson,
George Collars and Cuffs, is n-
reyerent He was dancing at a ball
recently with a pretty but plebeian
partner when his brother called him to
account. !" You can go and hum,
God save grand mother. was his re-
tort, I'll dance with whom / please"
Old Eugene, ex-Empress, is said to
have developed strange idiosyncracies,
besides being a recluse. One is a
/ tendency to Spiritualism and a belief
that she can communicate with her
dead Prince Imperial It is well I'M
derstood that she intends to make
Princess Beatrice Of England her
heiress.
The Queen Regent Of Spain chooses
the word daily for the countersign
without which no one is admitted to
the palace by the many guards. This
is communicated to the highest mill
