A UNION VETERANS OPINION.

The oldest ex.prisOner OF war in Chi.
cago is Mr.. Lee Mayer of l.. Simon &
Co., Monroe street. Mr. Mayer, has.been
for the last four years vice-president of
the Veteran Union league. He is one of
the very few union officers now residing
in Chicago who were imprisoned in
Libby, and his incarceration in that
prison vas one of the longest namely,
eleven months. He spent twenty
months, all told, in various prisons.
He belonged to the Twelfth Penn.
sylvania cavalry, was wounded and
captured at the battle of Winchester, aud
during his stay at Libby escaped twice,
but was recaptured both times, once by
blood. hounds. He was one of the
famous 100 who made the tunnel escape,
but belonged to the unlucky ffty.fve
who were recaptured. He finally
escaped at Columbia, S. c.. just prior to
Sherman's capture of the city.
Said Mr.. Mayer yesterday to Daily
Ne,cs reporter: 81 am opposed to any
such scheme as bringing Libby prison TO
Chicago, and should suppose any ex.
prisoner of war would be. This matter
was talked over among the veterans last
Sunday, and the sentiment seemed to be
unanimous that it was an unwise step.
No ex-prisoner of war would care to have
the horrors of twenty-five years ago
revived, as would be the case in this
instance. Although they might not have
been in Libby, still on ex-prisoner who
has suffered at Andersonville or Belle
Isle would have his own imprisonment
wildly brought to remembrance
Speaking as one who endured imprison
ment in Libby, / never care to go into
the details of those horrible times. The
actual starvation, suffering and filth
endured are not pleasant to recall, but

of War Object to the Change
From, the. CHICAGO News.

When the ever vigilant-American
speculator fret turned to commercial
account the thrilling epochs of the war
by reproducing them in panoramas loud
protests were not wanting. "Reviving
dead issues" "Prolonging sectional
hatreds," "The degradation of hallowed
memories" were some of the pet phrases
of those who found fault with the
scheme. It is needless to suggest which
view of the case triumphed. The senti-
mentalists were routed, and another gen.
Grafton of Americans has lived the war
scenes over again on canvas, while those
who invested in the canvas have been
nearly buried in an avalanche of dollars
The objections against perpetuating
the memories of the war have again come
to the front, only in more intensified
form, since it was proposed to transfer
Libby prison to Chicago as business
enterprise. The arrangements for this
transfer have been practically completed.
A recent dispatch from Richmond says
that an architect, after careful examina-
ton, says the building can be taken
down and removed to Chicago at much
smaller cost than the first estimate. Mr..
w. 81. Gray, of Chicago, was with the
architect when the latter examined the
building last week, and when the Rich
mond people found out that Mr.. Gray
had the money in his pocket to make the
first payment on the property their pro.
tests began to accumulate in earnest.
The Richmond State was one of the first
to voice Southern opinion. Among other

About year ago young woman In
Chicago to whom Henry Reightmeyer,
chief clerk OF q hotel in Lewisburg, was
engaged, failed to send him a reply 10 his
last letter, and he was piqued at the neg
lect and did not write for an explanation.
As time went on aud he received no word
from her, he became convinced that she
had Tilted him for some one else, aud he
gave her up. The woman was employed
in large book bindery in Chicago. Two
weeks ago young Reishtmeyer received .
letter addressed to him 10 the we'll known
penmanship OF his late sweetheart, and
another one in strange chirography both
letters bearing the postmark Of town In
Maine. He opened the girls letter and
found that it was dated at Chicago nearly
q year ago aud was the answer 10 his letter.
The other letter was from traveller on
a Maine railroad, who said he had pur
chased Chicago magazine on the train
on the day his letter was dated. On look
ing over the magszine he found between
the pages letter held fast in the close
binding. IL was addressed to Henry
Reishtmeyer, Lewisburg, Pa, aud was
stamped but bore no postmark. The
traveller had mailed 1t to the address at
the first town he came TO, and wrote the
ex plan alton OF its discovery.
Reightmeyer wrote at once to the Chi
cago girl, telling her the story Of her lost
letter. She replied, and the only expla-
nation she could give was that she had
placed the letter under some loose sheets
Of the magazine she WAS folding until she
could mail it aud had then forgotten that
she had not mailed it, Not receiving any
reply, she, too. had been seized with jealous
doubts and was too proud to write again
The correspondence aud engagement have
been renewed.

East OF Newport and all within sound
Of the guns that boom now and then, may
be found delightful resort, dear espe-
cially to the bass fishermen and the lovers
Of repose. The long summer nap may be
relieved only by the bleat Of a calf. the

ermen. Against the corn crib OF the

obscure midday sun.
One day deep lull fell on the fisher
mems bencn. Some one had caught bass
before dinner that fouled the anchor rope.
and dragged boat, anchor and everything
three miles agsinst wind and tide, with
the boats nose SO far under water that the
men had to climb half way up tho mast to
bail her out. The field for bass stories
grew suddenly circumscribed, so the con-
versation drifted.
"Wbat is the effect" asked the writer,
in general way, "of the salt grass around
here on cattle, milk. etc9"
"Wall,' said an old farmer present.
whose stock oil fed on salt grass, "ye
