What Killed General Meade.

Captain Meade, U. S. N, is said to re-
semble the late General George G.
Meade, his uncle, as the latter appeared
when young man. Captain Meade
says it is mistake to suppose, as many
people do, that the Union commander at
Gettysburg died of nervous prostration.
Pneumonia was the cause of death.
"When a post mortem was made of Gem
eral Meade's remains, it was discovered
that small portion of ono of his lungs
had been slightly wounded by mimic
ball. AT Fair Oaks, on the Peninsula, a
ball struck the General in the right
side, passed around his sword belt and
came out in the neighborhood of the
shoulder blades No one suspected that
the lungs had been touched when he re-
ceived his wound, and the surgeons at
the post mortem expressed the opinion
that the wound contributed to the Gen.
erals death by weakening the lungs
and thereby making him susceptible to
disease.-Detroit Free Press.

ONE MORE WAR STORY.
A Confederate's Life Saved Througl
Kindness to n Union Doctor.

A Confederato's Life Saved Through
Kindness to Union Doctor.
A number OF good stories were told at
the late meeting here OF tho survivors
OF tho battle and siege of Lexington.
Ono OF them was as follows:
DIR. Bluthardt, then young doctor
fresh from college, was in charge Of the
hospital here-a large, fashionable
mansion, owned by one Anderson. One
day he was pulled unceremoniously
through hole in the basement by a
hard-looking rebel, who marched the
doctor to largo tree, tied him to it and
| skipped off to use his victim as n target.
This piqued tho brave surgeon, and no
| exclaimed:
You coward, youl Give me revol-
YER, lot us walk five PAGES, turn and
| fire."
AT this juncture manly young Con-
federate walked up, and taking in the
situation, at once exclaimed:
"l ou scoundrel did not como all
the way from Kentucky to fight with
such he devils as you! Release tho
man or Pll blow your black heart outl"
The doctor thanked his defender, and
walked off as his prisoner. He was
taken up town, feasted with General
Price, and next morning got an escort
and marched back to his hospital. That
afternoon charge was made upon the
hospital. The Union men were quick
to resent the unmilitary action, closed
in upon the Confederate forces, and a
melee ensued inside the hospital, where
| tho rebels were either bayoneted or
taken prisoners Dr. Bluthardt hasten
ed up stairs to see about the sick and
dying men. The room was full of
smoke, and he could scarce see his own
hands before his face. Two men rushed
toward him and cried, 'For Gods sake,
save us!''
The Doctor placed them both beneath
q ablanketw which partially covered Union
man whose leg had been shot through,
meanwhile the Union forces had search
ed the house for stray rebels with strict
orders to show them no quarter. When
the smoke of the battle had cleared off
DIR. BlHthardt went upstairs to release
his prisoners, and in one of them he rec
ognized his defender of the day before,
who had saved his life. He escorted
them through the lines, and bade them
goodbye.
AT the meeting of the survivors of the
battle and siege of Lexington, he, for
the first time, learned that that man
was Tip" Mansur, the banker of Chilli
cothe, Mo-, brother of the Congress-
man.-Lexington (Mo.) Letter.
