EDIToR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Il f. q burn
ing shame that an institution ike the Illinois
Soldiers Home, where more than $4,000 have
been expended, with 500 soldiers present, and
some zoo present and absent al the time, should
not be mentioned occasionally IN Tx NATION
AL TRIBUNE although quite number Of copies
of your paper are taken by the inmates I
have been in the Home since april 5, 1887, and
have seen nothing regarding tbs workings Of
the institution from any pen but my own.
Tbs first Superintendent, Gen. G. Z. Lippin-
colt, died III August, 1887, aud Maj. J. g. Row
land, Of Quincy, ~ss appointed his successor.
He is live man. aud governs the Home in
satisfactory manner to everybody, and eonse-
quently has the good will Of al the inmates
and citizens who come in contact with him.
There are now II cottages completed, Is Of
which are occupied, while two more are in pro-
GEES of construction that witt be finished by
tages and q hospital were built, which made room
for more inmates, and the grounds were i'm
proved and beGutiied by making walks, drives
aud soddng. Besides, there is laundry, bakery,
ice-hOuse and 8 hot house. in which the plants
and flowers are kept In the Winter. We have
hogs and cows, which make quite saving IN
the way Of milk and meat. for the hogs are fed
almost entirely from the ofal from the tables.
During the Summer large quantities Of yege-
tables are raised 1t the Home, there being 25
acres under cultivation, the work being done
by the inmates, as is nearly all other work,
except the building The Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy Railroad has built fac depot In the
grounds of the Home.
A great many persons visit the Home since
the improvements have been made, there be-
ing SO average of two excursions weekly,
which make it pleasant for ths old veterans

A REV YoRK VANS CLAIM.

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune; The BOY
Spy wants the readers of THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE TO try and End cut what regiment or
hrigsde was st the front on the night Of the
I'd Of May, 1868. Nov, / can say that tha
124th N. Y. was On picket at the front thst
night Just beyond the Chancellor House. Co.
was stationed directly across road that csTas
out Of the woods. The night was very dark
and we were told to be very watchful as We
were in the front and the rebels were very
close TO us. We were ordered to fire into the
woods IL we heard the least noise. at first II
was very still, but after awhile we heard some
thing moving around III our front, aud We be-
gan to FIRE according to orders. We had fred
several shots when we heard horse gallopiDg
up the rOsd and man shouting at the top Of
his voice. stop that firing! you are shooting
your own men, We stopped, and be rode up
to Us saying: :" You are shooting your own
men," We said: There are none of our men
in those woods; this is our front" He had
then partly turned his horse when he said :
"Whst regiment ia this?" We answered,
"The I24th N Y" As soon SIS he heard this
he struck his horse with the spurs and away
he went back down The road SIS If the devil
were after him, and l guess he thought this
was the case, for Col. Ellis, who was standing
few feet sway, shouted That's reb, boys /;
give it to him, and all tho guns that could bs
raised quick enough were fred at him. He
might not have been hit, but how be could get
away with whole skin / 90 not see, as we all
did our hest. But we we're excited, and it was
very dark The rest of the night was spent in
guessing who the man was and how he came
to be there at that time Of night, il being
about 10 O'clock. Now, l, for one think this
was StOnewall Jackson who called on uE that
night; If not, who was it
suppose some one win jump up and call ma
something for saying that a reb came out OF
those woods and ordered Us to stop firing. II
they do, / can bring my Captain and four
others that live right here, who saw the man
and heard the conversation. I wish some Of
