EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: While the

Co. Il was organized at Reading. It's cook was
named Jakcy He'll, and he was one Of those
kind of men who, when they see anything, pick
it up and store it away for some future possible
use. Whenever any Of the boys wanted any
thing they went to Jakey for it.
Some new members wero added to the COM
pany at Philadelphia, and one of these, feeling
hungry, went up to the Sergeant of the COM
pauy and said that he wanted something 10 eat.
The Sergeant told him to go to He'll and get it.
This answer did not seem 70 suit the inquirer,
and he went to the Lieutenant aud asked the
same question, and the Lieutenant said:
"Why don't you 90 to He'll and get it."
The man turned away in an angry mood,
when the Lieutenant said
ooh! you are not from Reading?"
No not by q long shot" replied the man.
Excuse me- but cur cook name is Jakey
He'll" explained the Lieutenant
On another occasion the Majors tent was in
danger of being damaged by a storm, which
was raging la;e at night and passing through
the camp in search of nail or rope with which
to secure his tent, he heard some men near by
talking. lie asked them il they had a nail or
rome, and received mo" as an answer. but as
he was going away one Of them spoke aud said:

what you want
The Major asked where and was told,
" Down to Hell"
The Major became highly incensed at this
answer, and asked the name of the man who
dared 10 address him thus Corporal Bright"
was the answer. A little while after Corporal
Bright was put under arrest The remaiuGer
Of the men in the tent went to their Captain,

the reason of Corporal Bright being placed

went TO see che Major, aud asked him why
Corporal Bright was arrested.
"Why," replied he, " I went along there and
asked kindly whether any of Thorn had nail
or a piece Of rope, when this iusOlen5 fellow
told me 70 20 He'll and get it."
The Captain was couvulsed with laughter,
and the Major wanted to know if he was going
to insult him also; and while laughing tho

Abram Beam, Co. II, 2i1th Pa, Lieonier. IA,
has been amused at the accounts Of the taking
of Petersburg, but wishes 70 say that the Second
Brigade Of the Second Division, Ninth Corps,
were the first troops in Fort Malone but they
were not the only troops in the fort. as there
were Massachusetts,, New York and Ohio boys
there. But they were not there when the Sec
ond Brigade went over the works, for it went
over before breakfast, the others coming in
near noon, or at the time Of the stampede.
Tho Zouayes did as much as any one regiment
toward saving the day, holding the fort and
changing the tide Of battle. At night the Sec
ond Brigade withdrew 20 the rear TO the old
pieket-linc, where they lay in line Of battle all
night; but ut the first peep of dawn they were
on the march into the city, and some of the
brigade rushed to the river and put out the fire
at the burning bridge. The writer's claim is
that his brigade helped to take Fort Malone
and Petersburg, but not that they did it alone.

The Medical Profession.

The attitude of the medical pro-
fession toward what is known as
"patient medicine" is not at all I'M
reasonable. Thousands of these
nostrums are offered to the public
every year. Some of them are dan
gerous, and most of them are futile.
Swift's Specific IS. s. s., we are all
glad to say, is not classed among
these nostrums. 1t has overcome the
wholesome prejudices of physicians
in all parts of the country, and some
of the strongest testim onials in it's
behalf GENE from medical men who
have used it in their practice, and
who do not hesitate to endorse its
wonderful results. This is extremely
gratifying, but by no means astonish-
ing, for every claim that is put for
ward in behalf of s. s. S. is based on
a series of actual experiments ex-
tended over long period of time.
