since well-dressed man Of adult years
called in fashionable part oi the city
at the house ola well-known and much
respected citizen, and asked of his wife,
the husband being at his office, if she
would favor him with few slips from
the ivy plant that grew upon the front
part Of the house. He assured her that
he had a friend seriously i'll, and that
the attending physician had urgently
recommended an application made of
ivy tea. The lady, who was of kindly
nature, cut several generous slips from
the plant, and gave them TO the we'll
appearing stranger. He exhibited "A
profusion of bills and urged payment,
which was declined, and the caller left.
Later in the day the good lady called
upon a near neighbor, also very
wealthy lady, who wished to show her
visitor a new and choice specimen ofivy
that she had purchased that very morn

new ivy possessed rare qualities, had

tationed. But as they came on, a regiment
armed with seven-shOOters filed into the gap to
meet them, while the writer's brigade and the
artillery gave it to them hot from the right
oblique. The rebels were punished for their
spy's exploit.
Oscar Fowler, Commander, John Green Post,
Eau Gale, Wis, was a member of Co. G.. 10th
Kan, and regrets that he does not see more in
the paper from the men OF his regiment. He
also belonged to the 10Th Ohio, having enlisted
in that regiment in August, 1861. He would
like to see something from Maj. Asa Bower
sock, Gus Morrison, Albert Southwick, s. S.
Robinson, or others of the 10th Kan.
Philip Daub. Sergeant, Co. K, 175th n. Y,
YOnkers, N. Y, wonders why soldiers who
participated in the campaign against Port Hud-
son do not give their experience. There were
many acts of heroisp happened to the personal
knowledge OF the writer. An incident occurred
to one of the bravest officers that ever bestrOde
horse, and who sealed his patriotism by death
on the battlefield On June H. 1868, when
storming column was formed to charge the cit
adel of the fort, the writer's regiment was in
tho assaulting column, and led by the gallant
Col Bryan. As it approached the works the
rebel batteries opened fire. The Colonel dis
mounted, and sword in hand urged his men TO
follow him. One of the enemy's shells struck
him, taking off leg and severely wounding
the other. His wounds were fixed as well as
could be at the time, but the blood would flow.
and 1T was soon found he was dying To his
last moment the welfare of the boys intrusted
to his care was the nearest to his heart, and
after placing Capt Ellis in command Of the
regiment he died with his face to tho foe.
Thomas Ransom, Orderly Sergeant, Co. A, 1st
N. Y. Mtd Rifles, Pluckamin, N. j., says that
during October, 1863, while in Williamsburg,
Va, one of the proyOst-guards shot the provost
marshal in the mouth, and he bed to death
without uttering word He was q Lieuten-
ant and much respected, and the man who
shot him was drunk. The remains were sent
home. He had but recently returned from
New York from leave of absence. The
writer cannot remember the name Of either the
Lieutenant or of the man who killed him.
