A Remarkable war Record.

81 served on General Buffers staff, ;
said Port Warden Comstock; twas over
four years in the army, but never fired a
gun; was promoted for gallantry on the
field and never was in battle, and, in
fact never saw a Confederate in arms,
and I don't get pension. Ididn't carry
away any spoons from New Orleans, but
I've got Shakespeare, Byron and Moore
in leather that brought away from the
Twiggs mansion where we made our
headquarters while in New Orleans. If
anybody got away with the spoons it
would not be strange.
The distinguished family that moved
out for us left the family silver and
everything else, and we moved in and
took possession and used the abandoned
property as we had, under the laws Of
war, perfect right to do. We found
the famous Twiggs swords there They
have long been on exhibition at Wash
ington. The Twiggs heirs are trying to
get all these things back, but they'll
have as hard a time to trace that library,
I'm afraid, as they will the spoons. -
