She hetcheled the flax and carded
the wool, and woye the linen, and
spun the tow, and made the clothes
for her husband and ten children.
She made butter and cheese, she
dipped tallOw candles, to light the
house at night, and she cooked all
the food for her household by an
open fireplace and brick oven.
Yes; and when she was forty years
of age, she was already an old lady
whose best days were over. Her
shoulders were bent and her Joints
enlarged by hard work, and she
wore spectacles and a cap.
Her great granddaughter, with
all the modern conveniences for
comfort, refinement and luxury,
may be as charming and attractive
at forty-five as at twenty. Espe-
cially is this true if she preserves
her health and beauty by the use of
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription,

and irregularities, cures them if they
already exist, keeps the life current

healthful and vigorous, and enables
the woman of middle age to retain
the freshness Of girlhood upon brow
and cheek, the light of youth in
her eyes, and its elasticity In her
step.
Go TO your drug store, pay a
dollar, get bottle and try it-try
a second, a third if necessary. Be-
fore the third ones been taken
you'll know that there's a remedy to
help you. Then you'll keep on and
eure'll come.
But if you shouldn't feel the help,
should be disappointed in the results
you'll find guarantee printed On
the bottle-wrapper that'n get your
money back for you.
How many women are there
who'd rather have the, money than
health? And "Favorite Prescrip-
ton" produces health. Wonder
is that there's a woman willing TO
suffer when there's a g,laranteed
remedy to be had In the nearest
drug store.

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON THURSDAY FEBRUARY M 1891

load OF ChickamaEEa prisoners that arrived in
Richmond Sept. So lS53, after travelling 10
days part OF the time foot and the balance
on train. Arriving in Richmond about dark,
was taken 10 a large building near Libby,
where We stayed ali night, and the next day
(Oct. H. was moved into large four-story
brick building, called tho PembeItOn building,
which wGs divided by a wall from cellar to
roof One side was called PeIhberton, and the
other Crews building, / being on the Pembcr-
ton side. On oct g. our frst Sunday in Rich
mond, Chaplain from Libby preached to us
in the afternoon-text, Luke xii 30: Fear
not little flock, for it IS your Fathers good will
aud pleasure to give youItbe Kingdom"
After being there VILLA the prisoners got
IL into their heads that they must know what
was in the cellar; but the next question was
how to get there. But when the Yanks took
a notion 10 do anything they did it, if they
had 10 run 4 big risk in doing So After con-
siderable work. we made an opening in the
floor and got into the cellar. where was found
n large quantity Of salt in 100-pound sacks;
and, rs our "hotel-keeper" did not have our
raiions sailed, this discovery enabled us 10 salt
TO suit our own tastes. Now, after our dis
covery, the prisoners in the Crews building
were not idle, by any means; for, having got
into their part of tho cellar, they found big
supply Of brown sugar, but no white sugar.
After cutting a hole in the door between the
two buildings largo enough TO pass large spoon
through, trading opened up lively, spoonful
of salt for the same amount of sugar But
after n few days we had the Crews building
pretty well supplied with salt, so that there
was no sale for our salt, and the sugar we must
have, and if our salt would not bring it we
must get il in some other way, which was
done on the night Of Oct. %, 1863, by digging
hole in the brick wall between the two
cellars large enough for man to crawl through;
and, rs our prison rations had been so small Ia
small piece of corn bread and two ounces of
meat once day.. II did not take very big
hole to let us slide through.
The first man had just got through and
reached the sugar as the guard on the outside
OF the building called out, Eleven o'clock, and
all is wellp But he did not know the Yanks
were going for thoir sugar in tho cellar at the
same time. BY daylight the prisoners had a
good supply of sugar laid in, enough to last
them for some time, If we did have our "a
tions cut off for one day. But, rs the prison
ers had kept up such racket all night, tho
guards knew the Yanks were doing something
at their expense, but did not find 1t out until
the next morning when, bright and early,
wagons were engaged hauling away both sugar
aud salt out of reach Of the Yanks. We
noticed several empty sugar-hogsheads taken
out of the cellar, that were emptied the night
before by the Yankees. X. BoYCE Co. X,

in Texas for 25 years. He served four years
and 10 months in the Union army, and this is
remembered against him in spite Of his long
residence in the State, and his marriage TO the
daughter Of an ex-Confederate officer there.
He was injured by his services so that he can
not I'LL any other occupation than that Of the
Ofiee for which he Was a candidate.
@. l.. Mooney, Co. ID, 65th Ill, Ada, Kan,
says that during bis service in Tennessee and
Georgia he contracted three diseases, and has
been trying for seven years TO get q pension,
but has not got it yet, and does not see why
these long delays are necessary. He thinks it
better for the old soldiers to leave the old po-
litieal parties and join new ones, for by this
way they are likely to get some consideration
from Congress.

Those Batteries on Little KenesAu.

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: COmrRde
John Clark, of Barnett's Battery, gives an ac-
count OF his battery at Kenesaw Mountain and
Jonesboro in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE Of Jan.
g. from which one would be led to infer that
Barnetts was about the only battery in Sher-
mans army. He says Barnett's and GARDENERS
were the only Union batteries engaged on
Little Kencsaw. Now don't pretend TO have
seen all tho fighting around Atlanta, but /
know that our battery Battery II, 1st ILL.,
and the LIST Iowa battery were on Little Kene-
saw, the latter being little 90 our left, and
that we had not only one artillery duel but
for II days ia successiOn--from june 81 to 30
we had them every day. We aismounted sew
erRl Of the enemy's guns on KenesaW Mountain,
and the LIST Iowa had q peculiar faculty Of
plugging their little shells into the rife pits
In the valley, as the Johnnies can testify from
experience
At JOnesbOro We were with our diyision-the
Second of the Fifteenth Corps-and as usual
did our share Of the work, firing she'll and case

say, He never served in the volunteer army.
Didn't be? Whatever you mean, you must give
an impression that he wasn't with the army
during the rebellion. But he was Ordnance
Officer Of the Burnside expedition in 1861, '62,
and went with Burnside to the Army of the
Potomac early in 1s62-July or August. (See

A. J. Norman, Logan, Iowa, says the Pension
Office will tell you that you do not need an
attorney; that you will be assisted with your
claim by the Bureau, and not hindered. The
writer knows Of an instance where O comrade
applied for an increase some time ago, and re-
ceived notice that the application had been
received aud fled. Not hearing from it, again
letter was written, aud in about seven months
n reply came. stating that no claim was pend
ing for an increase. Now there is q new order
prohibiting the publishing of the postofice ad-
dresses of claimants, for fear attorneys will
write TO them. If soldiers have been imposed
upon by pension attorneys il is the fault of the
Pension Bureau for permitting INSCRIPTIONS
aud incompetent attorneys TO practice before it,
The soldiers are competent to say whether they
want attorneys TO look after their interests.
