Generals the Soldiers Loved.

There were three men who had pc
culiarly strong hold upon our corps,
rank and file, especially upon the COM
mon soldier. They were Mcclellan,
Sedgwick and Sheridan. McClellan's
attractiveness was due almost wholly
to his assiduous care of his army. He
made the army feel that he had kindly
personal interest in them, that first of
all he was bound TO have them well fed
and well clothed. Then he was very
democratic in his bearing towards the
common soldier. A soldier never sa-
luted without return of the salute, as
every officer was bound to do. But
MCClelan's salute was not formal, but
always kindly. | was not in the army
of the Potomac during his leadership,
but used to hear frequent testimony to
this effect in the campfire gossip.
Scdgwick's attraction lay in his human
ness and cOmmonness or LONELINESS.
He was without the least pretension to
haughtiness. lie wore the common
soldiers uniform as often as any other,
in winter as well as in time of campaign
ing. A stranger entering his head
quarters would be likely to salute some
tll-llnpOIlduJ SuDdIleTu as Tue CDl6I o.
ficer. Anecdotes of such mistakes as
this were the gossip of the camp. Sedg-
wick held his place at the head of the
corps as though he had been chosen
from the ranks by unanimous vote to
take the lead. His care of his men
was untiring, while his chief concern
was TO have them do good service in
battle. Sheridan drew men to him by
his mastery, dashing generalship. He
had the caution of Mcclellan, the per-
sistence of Grant, skill of Sedgwick
and a CELEBRITY of action, power of see
ing and selling the golden opportunity,
the faculty Of" getting twist" on the
enemy, peculiarly his own. General
Sheridan was equal to every emergency
in planning and managing battle. In
all the campaigns in which he had the
sole command, he hardly made single
mistake. In strategy he was unsur-
passed by any commander in the whole
army. He was the equal of Grant in
pushing the enemy, and his superior
in this point: that he always sought to
overcome the enemy with the least
possible expenditure of life. His con-
slant aim was to outwit his opponent
rather than to outwear him.-Ch0p-
lain Dudley, an Springfield Republican,.

After Many Years.

A romantic episode of the closing
scenes of the war was revived at re-
union of the Second Wisconsin Cav
airy. The Second Cavalry was attached
to Clusters command in July, 1865. and
was then at Alexandria, on Red river.
The Second had colonel whom they
warmly hated, and request to resign
addressed to him was prepared and gen
orally signed. The only man that had
the nerve to present it was Len Ian
caster of Company |, who marched
boldly to the colonel's quarters and
gave him the document. The result
was court-martial, and Lancaster was
sentenced to be shot. Lancaster and
an Illinois deserter, one Wilson, also
under sentence, were hauled to the
place of execution, where " three hol-
low" square of 10000 cavalry had
been formed. The two victims were
seated on their collins with arms
pinioned and the caps were drawn
over their eyes. The officer in charge
of the firing party gave the COM
mands," Readyr' "Aim!" and " Fire"
The carbines came up, the hammers
clicked, the squad aimed, and, "a second
before the volley was discharged, the
officer in command seized Lancaster
and ierked him out of range, while
Wilson, the deserter, fell pierced with
three balls. Custer had reprieved Ian
caster at the last moment and sen
fenced him to three years at the Dry
Tortugas. Lancaster was handed over
to Lieutenant Peck, by him taken to
New Orleans and sent to the Dry Tor
lugas, where he was kept four months
and then pardoued. Lancaster is now
"a st. Paul contractor. Peck is Ne
braskan. The two men met at the re-
union for the first time since the in
cident in 1865, and their mutual greet
ing was such as only old soldiers
know .-MilUouke Sentinel.

Catarrh Can't be Cured

With local applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is not a blood or constitutional
disease, and in order to cure it you
have to take internal remedies. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly upon the blood and mucus
surface. Halls Catarrh Cure is no
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed by
one of the best physicians in this coun-
try for years and is regular prescrip-
ton. 1t is composed of the best tones
known, combined with the best blood
purifiers, acting directly upon the mu-
Gus surface. The perfect combination
of the two ingredients is what pro-
duces such wonderful results in curing
catarrh. Send for testimonials free.

social privilege. The veterans are fast
passing away. They are becoming old
men; and may their influence and
patriotism be a constant lesson Of what
national independence cost and what
national freedom means. But were
they ten times more numerous, and
were they to live a thousand years, let
it be the just pride of every administra-
ton, independently of party spirit, to
make their lives a season of content,
and to place the II embers of their i'm
mediate family, no matter when con-
stiuted, beyond the reach of want,
and let no spasm of improvident gen.
crosby or of unworthy retrenchment
for any cause prevail. "A lbony Journal.

The Veterans and the Pension.

The Oneonta Press says: GAS a
matter of justice, no woman is entitled
to a pension for the loss of a husband
if she marries him after the war is
over" - AS a matter of justice" some
things should never be forgotten, and
among them this The man who goes
to war in the defense of his country
takes his life in his hands, whether he
be married or single, is engaged to be
married or is heart free. Many young,
self-sacriiicing patriot of twenty-five
years ago went to the front, served his
country Loyalty, and returned to the
North and established home. Had
he no right to do this last, simply be-
cause he had lost an arm or leg? Be-
cause he was not an able-bOdied man
when he returned, capable of cutting
cord-wood for instance, does 1t follow
that he must not marry, that no woman
may love him, or, if he marries, that
the wife and family shall not receive on
his decease the assistance of the gov
eminent for which he sacrificed? And
then, too, how about the rights of the
young woman who Loyalty urged in the
dark days of the sixties, and in other
earlier national crises, that their patri-
otto lovers leave them and march to
the nations rescue? When the soldier
lover returned, as he sometimes did,
and kept his pledge to sweetheart as
we'll as he had kept his oath to country,
had she no right to claim as his widow,
should necessity come after his death =,
the continuance of the pension he re-
ceived for the loss of sight, or limb, or
health? 1t is impossible to draw fine
lines in this matter of pensions. There
is no politics in it. 1t is outside of any
realm but that of justice; and in meas
uring that, one can not determine by the
presentation OF individual cases. That
we have national existence to-day is
cause for profound gratitude to the &c
of battles and of grateful remembran ce
to the men who fought our battles. To
present positions of trust, to the gifts
of prominent places in the nations
council chambers, to the minor public
offices, even, that men call desirable,
there are now in this generation men
who have the right to be called or APP
pointed equally with veterans. The
law does not impose service upon
the veterans now; in emergencies
they would be exempt, while the
great silent populace they never knew,
but for whom they fought long years
ago, would be called into action,
to do as they have done. This genera
ton has obligations to the veterans
tilial, considerate, and providential,
but it also has rights which it does not
willingly surrender. The obligation of
loyalty to country, the liability to be
called into military service, and the de-
mands of government for financial sus-
tenance-all carry with them, to every
citizen, the right of civil Office and of

remedies, including mineral waters,

ment in Chicago paper that a man had
been relieved of this distressing com
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. | then decided to
make a trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months, and am
pleased to state that it has effected a
complete cure. / have since had no re-
turn of the disease. - Mrs. II. Irving
