AVeteran of1S12.

A benefit was rendered to General Abra-
ham Daily, veteran of the war of 1912, in
the Twenty-hfth street Baptist church., New
York, recently. The aged soldier was seat
ed on the platform clothed in Continental
uniform. When introduced to the 400 per-
sons who had paid 25 cents each TO see him,
he was hclped to his feet by Captain Johh
Norman and Lieutenant Foster Doiling his
cooked hat he walked feebly TO the platform
and said in voice audible TO every one in
the building:
Ladies and Gentlemen | am now ninety
six years old-yory nearly the oldest man Nv
ing | carried arms against Great Britain,
and we ended the fight gloriously for this
country, and the British have never troubled
US since that time. 1t had been my Intention
to tell you something about the war of 1872,

main with you long. At 3 o'clock this morn
ing my boy, seventy-three years old, passed
away. Heart disease killed him. My friends,
you al have my best wishes for your future
welfare
Two continentals seized the veterans arms
and led him tottering down the steps of the
platform To the middle aisle of the church,
while the fife and drum corps played 'rhe
Red, White and Blue" The veteran was
placed in a carriage drawn by two white
horses and driven to the side OF his dead
boy at IS Maujer street, Brooklyn. Captain
Norman said 1.-The general has often told

was wrong. He winds up his official
report of November 6, 1861, on the situation
of affairs in the department of the Cumber-
land as follows: "Do not conclude, as be-
fore, that l exaggerate the facts. They are
as stated, and the future looks as dark as
possible 1t would be better if some mC of
sanguine mind were here, for am forced to

The upshot of this cabal against him was

Enumeration of Veterans.

Commander Veazey of the G. A. r. has
issued general orders No. % in which appears
tho following;
Congress provided in the last census law
that separate enumeration should pc made
of all ex-union soldiers, sailors, marines and
the widows OF those deceased living June l.,
1890, said enumeration to cover the name
length of service and present address. 1t is
estimated there will be in round numbers,
100000 names and the results when pub
lished, as provided for by law, will make
eight large quarto volumes OF 1000 pages

confederate soldiers were at his Office ready
to deliver up their arms and be amneSted
Knowing that Joking of that sort would SUD-
ject the perpctrator to court-mnrta!, the
secretary haStened to the White House TO
consult President johnson. The result was
a telegram to the provost martial:
who are they, and where did they come
froms'
Answer was prompt and to the point: !:
"Sergt. Tewsbury and guard from Dismal
Swamp. Did not know the war was over"
After a good deal of laughter the provost
marshal was ordered to receive their capitu-
lation, which was conducted in due form.
Tewsbury. an old Vlrginian, ordered his
sQuad-a couple of Gcorgians-to give up
their guns and sign the papers, rcserving
himself as the last man of all the confeder-
ate forces to surrender
The old sergeants description of the way
he found out the war was over was amusing.
He and his companions had been posted on
the edge of the swamp to watch movements
of the union troops from Norfolk with orders
to remain until relieved, and subsisted on
game and fish for three years. At last nc
met an old negro VINO told him the war mad

He had charge of the night detail The flag
stan stood at the corner of Meeting and
Market streets, 40 feet high, and in one of
the most conspicuous places in Charleston.
In the early part of 1865, Sherman was march
ing his conquering hosts from Savannah
northward back of Charleston The battles
OF Honey Hill and De Vaule's Neck had been
fought and won by Sherman's army. The
forces on Morris island crossed over and took
possession Of the birthplace Of secession
Lieutenant Edwards wanted tho Flagstaff
taken down and removed to the generals
headquarters. This was "A difficult task on
account OF the length of the pole and the mar.
rowness Of the streets. Lieutenant Edwards

Canadian Cattle.

WAsuNGToN. Nov. 1l.-Secretary
Rusk is very determined TO spare no
effort in compelling Great Britain to
remove her arbitrary regulations now
enforced against American cattle.
Live cattle from this country must be
slaughtered within ten days after ar
rival i'm Great britain, thus affording
shippers no time 20 restore the cattle
10 their former condition. The trans
portation by rail and water is very
wearing on cattle, buJ with n
little time they could recuperate. That
time is denied them, and the British
buyers, knowing that the cattle must
be sold within ten days, can, by hold
ing oE. secure them at a reduced price.
This is what makes the Secretary in
dignant. and is the cause of suggest
ing. in his annual report, the rigid
enforcement OF the law now IN exist
ence prohibiting imports into the
United states Of all live animals, but
which the President suspended as n
