In Libby PR son.

The production of war play at
local theater during the week stirred
up memories of the war in many old
soldiers present. For some the scene
of the escape from Libby Prison had
peculiar memories. AS, for example,
Capt. d. S. Orcutt, who was confined
in Libby Prison for a period of twenty
days. He was captured at Reams
Station, June 20, 1864, and was sent
from Libby to Andersonville. AT
the period of Colonel Roses escape,
on which the play is mainly based,
Captain Orcutt was serving with his
regiment, the Eleventh Pennsylvania
cavalry, at Williamsburg, twenty
miles from Richmond.
"When the prisoners escaped from
Libby" he said, "they had to lie very
close, for fear of being recaptured.
They did not know friend from foe,
for the rebels, to capture them, used
to don the Union uniform. We were
ordered to beat the country, and we
had to charge and capture our own
men just as we would the enemy. 1t
was different, though, for the escaped
men offered less resistance, when they
knew who we were, than the rebels.
When Colonel Rose was stationed at
the recruiting station here, a year Or
so ago, we had many talks about that
escape from Libby. He generally
charged that the Union soldiers were
not as active as they might have been
in covering the escaping prisoners.
He may have taken this view because
he was recaptured himself.
II was only in Libby for twenty
days, being sent thence to Anderson
vile. Every prisoner was obliged to

A NUMBER of ladies in Boston pro-
pose to adopt highly sensible and

gest DR.. Mary Walkers pantaloons,
but will be a handy garb to get around
in on wet day, and save women
from the annoyance and untidiness OF
bedraggled skirts. The details are
simple, and embrace jacket, some
thing similar to the garment known
as REFER, a skirt reaching an inch
or two below the knees, made of heavy
cloth and killed so as to prevent dis
arrangement by the wind, and
mosquetaire or ordinary riding-boots
or CATERS with leggins. In such a
rig woman could bid defiance to the
elements, and would look as if she had
right to be out Of doors on a stormy
day, an appearance she does not pre-
sent when arrayed in the existing
street costumes, most OF which would
be more appropriate for indoor use
than the purpose to which they are
put.

A few years ago there was in por-

Her Eleven Boys We're There.

Living in Iowa is as proud mother
as the stars and stripes ever tloated
over. Prior to the late war, Mrs. Fl.
b. Merchant, then a widow, resided
at Rockford, ILL.,, and from there sent
eleven sons out to fight for her cOun-
try and theirs. For having sent SO
many sons to do gallant service, she
has been granted a modest pension
by special act Of Congress, and can
pass the few remaining years of life
in comparative comfort. In the en-
tire history of the war there was not,
it is believed, a case which equals
that of Mrs. Merchant. The brothers
in the war and the commands in
which they enlisted were: G.. w.
Merchant, Company G, Seventy-fourth
Illinois: A. L., Company G, Fifteenth
Illinois; Enoch, Company r, One
Hundred and Fifty-sixth Illinois;
D. O., Company G, Seventy-fourth
Illinois; S. B., Company &, Forty

Forty-tlfth Illinois; Aaron, Company
L. H., Company G, Forty-tifth Hi
nois G, Fifteenth Wisconsin; N. NJ,
United States Cavalry; j. B., team
ster, Quartermaster Department.
Each of the brothers who survived
received an honorable discharge. One
was killed at Island No. 10, one at
Atlanta, and one died at home on a
sick furlongh. Two were wounded,
and S. B. Merchant, of Beloit, Wis,
was crippled for life. Seven are
alive to-day, and are scattered in the
Northwest. Rockford OILY Gazette.
