in Buffalo Dec Z and 3, Was Eddie s. Griffin,
who came all the way from Kansas 20 meet his
old army associates. COmrade Griffin was
probably the youngest soldier IN the Union
army. Young Griffin accompanied the 10th ".

special order from the War Department f0r his

Poor Maj. Bradford was killed by Forests
orders the next day after the massacre, while we
were en- route to the prison bells of Dixie. Of

one, German Lieutenant, of the 9th u. S. G. t.,

on, and thus escaped death; whether he sur
vived prison life or not have never learned.
Ere we had started on the long march South
the day following the massacre, and while only
about two miles from the fort, we could hear
the gunboats, which had come up from Mem

time and while placing hospital flags on the
low bushes to protect the wounded, that saw
a rebel approaching from the point where Cold
Creek empties into the river. Seeing about ~
soldiers buddled under these bushes, he ordered
them to come out to him and surrender, saying
if they did not come they would all be shot.
A rush was made toward him, and as was
about to follow a volley was fired from the
bluff. Of all these poor fellows,

BE month of March,
1864, was marked in
the late civil war as the
beginning of a plan of
warfare adopted by the
rebels under Gen. n. B.
Forrest in his raid into
West Tennessee and
Kentucky, that for

total disregard of any
of the usages of civil
lied warfare would put

deeds Of the wild Apa-

Nothing adds more to the appearance
of place than vines growing about the

longs to one class of plants more than to

poets Of the field and garden. have
seen houses, that were as ungraceful in
their bare outlines as they could well be,
so transformed by the use of vines about
them, that you forgot all about their for
mer ugliness. That was hidden under the
clustering leaves; the slender branches,
thrown here and there in the careless,
unstudied grace of the true artist, break
ing up all harsh outlines, and destroying
all of that primness and forinality char
acteristic Of a house as it comes from the
hand of the carpenter. Skilful planning
by designer with an artistic eye can do
much for home, but the vine can do
more. The finishing touch must be made
by it. 1t is not only poet but it is an

with the truth of this by seeing house
not long ago, which had been left in an
unfinished state. The cornice had not
been put on, and some of the roof-boards
projected foot or more beyond others.
This condition of incompleteness, left
bare, would have made the house an I'M
pleasant thing to see. But some one had
planted vines about it, and they had
climbed to the roof and run along the pro-
jecting boards of the ends, covering them
with foliage, and dropping here and there
festoon OF Rreenery which actually
made the building more attractive than
it would have been if the cornice had
been completed, with its straight lines
