An Anecdote Of Sheridan.

While the United States was engaged
in the great civil war, France and Aus
tria took advantage of our compare
lively helpless condition to attempt the
conquest of Mexico, with view to con-
struct new empire there under Maxi
milan. General Grant was strongly
opposed to this policy, and after Apo
mattox sent Sheridan with an army to
the Lower Rio Grande to observe the
movements of the foreigners and to be
in readiness to intervene whenever
congress gave permission. An orderly
woke the colonel soon after daylight
one morning and urged him to 90 down
to the bank of the river, as something
remarkable was going on there. The
colonel did so, and had the gratilica-
ton of seeing combat-it could hardly
be called battle-betwee the national
troops, the adherents of Juarez, and
the MeXicans who were serving under
the banner of Macmillan and who
were in possession of Matamoras. The
object of the Juarez troops was, of
course, to drive the enemy from Mata-
moras and hold the place, as, owing
to its proximity TO the United States
forces, it was very important point.
Each side seemed to be fortified, and
was engaged in contest at long range,
which was neither very exciting nor
destructive. The next morning the
orderly came again to wake the colonel,
and assured him that he would see
some genuine fighting. The colonel
hurried down to the bank, and there he
saw the Juarez men leave their in
trenchments, advance with the utmost
intrepidity, storm the works at Mata-
moras, and drive the adherents of Max
imiian through the town and far be-
You'd out into the open country. OF
course Sheridan could not send force
to the other side of the river without
the authority of congress and the war
department. That would have been
an unheard of proceeding. What he
did do eCaS to give one Of his brigadeS q
leare Of absence, and that settled the
question so far as Matamoras was con-
cerned. -Century for October.

Hospital Records of the Fourth.

Thomas T. Farrell of Waterbury,
secretary of the Fourth Regiment, Yer

vivors of his regiment that the hos
pital records from March, 1868, to April,
1864, which it was supposed were lost,
were lately found by Hospital Steward
NJ. p. Felch of Colorado He thought
that Comrade Farrell could do more
good with it than he could out West,
and sent it to him. Comrade Farrell is
ready to answer all comrades who may
wish to know of their hospital records
during that year, or to make affidavit
in their case if desired. Comrades will
kindly send postage stamps for return
answers or for the justice fee in case of
an affidavit. There has been much
good done already in pension claims
since it was found, and it may be the
means of doing much more.
