dinner and the number of the guests

present. Well, of course, MacVeagh
was present at this dinner and the
Ex-Attorney General sat next to the
Archbishop. During the evening the
subject of railway passes was brought
up very naturally, when the Arch
bishop said that be never travelled
on railroad pass in all his life and
had never been offered one. OF
course this singular statement at
tracted the attention of Col. Mcclure,
Clayton McMichel, Wayne MacVeagh
and the rest, and caused a general
smile of wonderment.'
"Why, my dear archbishop said
MacVeagh, you have missed one of
the sreal pleasures of life, as she is
known in Philadelphia
The sensation of travelling on a
pass would certainly be new to me,

MopndInz Of Gen. B. y. Kelley.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: i am much

describing the wounding of the late gallant
Gen. b. F. Kelley at the first fight Of tho
war ut Philippi, w. Va, June g. 1861.
There Is not word of truth in the whole state
ment, as can be attested by hundred eye-wit-
nesses still living, except the central fact that
the Colonel was wounded at Philippi. / gave
substantially the facts Of the wounding in my
communication TO the indianapolis Sentinel of
July 81, copy of which was mailed you with q
later explanation that / should have said, Sims
shot him with boss pistol " in one of the
paragraphs where said that be whipped out
revolver and fired at the Colonel. i was not
over IS PAGES from Sims when he fred and
not % steps from Kelley as he was caught fall
ing from his horse. The 10th Ohio referred to
by COmrade McCurdy were not there at all,
nor did they belong to that column.
This Munchausen story Of Comrade McCurdy
Is like the speech made by q very gallant ex-Ofi-
Ger, who, on making reception speech 20 Gen.
Alger, told how he saw In the crisis OF a GER
tain battle In Virginia tho gallant Colonel Of
q Michigan cavalry regiment dash on the scene
leading the charge with waving sword, appear

the house and village. But not for Jack and
myself During the evening we had decided
not 10 be taken-at least, not yet; so when all
was still we slipped out Of the house and down
the streets Of the town. Having taken two
paper lanterns and plenty Of candles with u.s.

once more touched civilization, and IN a char

were not demanded aud we had good nights

We attended the theater and loitered around
seeing the town till 10, then retired, but this
time we did not dare ask for our bill, as a po-
liceman was sitting in the kitchen
EVIDENTLY on GUARD.
So we pinned a dollar bin on the bedclothes and
slipped out through the garden and over the
back fence. This, however only put US IN the
back yard Of another house. through which il
