to put in an appearance. A party
was made up and u diligent search
begun. After an hours hunting Gen.
Crook was found sitting Under the lee
OF an aroya idly whiting chip Of

Sherman never forgot that little
drummer boy who camc to him in the
hot fight at the roar of Vicksburg, and
when 1t came in his power he had the
youngster appointed to the Naval
Academy at Annapolis. The troops
were in the heat OF tho engagement
when Sherman heard shrill, childish
voice calling out to him that one OF
tho regiments was out of ammunition,
and that the men would have to aban-
don their position unless he sent to
their relief. He looked down, and
there by the side OF his horse was
mite OF boy, with the blood running
from wound In his leg.
'.All right, my boy" said the gen.
eral, "I'll send them all they need, but
as you seem to be badly hurt you had
better go and find surgeon and lei

rear, while Sherman prepared to give

A Monument to Tippecanoe.

Mr.. Louis Rebisso. the sculptor OF
the Grant equestrian statute for the

ing touches on his working model OF
the equestrian statute of Gen. William
Henry Harrison, ex-President of the
United States, and grandfather OF the
present Chief Executive, which Is to
be erected by the city Of Cincinnati,
o. The statue is to cost $25, 0OO;
will be IA feet six inches In hight,
and is pronounced by people who knew
the General to be a fine delineation of
his personal characteristics. It Is prob
able that the statue will be placed In
the Government square In front OF
the custom house. although this has
not been definitely determined upon.
Gen. Harrison was born in Ohio; rep
resented the Cincinnati district In COM
gress; was q resident Of Cincinnati
when he went to the Colombian mis-
sion. and at the time Of his election
TO the presidency lived on his farm at
North Bend, twelve miles from Gin

on q high bluff overlooking the beau
tiful river, with views for fifteen
miles up and down. Is the tomb Of

AN INGENIOUS CIPHER.
How the Friends or French Thief Go.
Themselves Into Jail.

How the Friends or . French Thief Go.
Themselves Into Jail.
Some years ago the friends OF
Partisan thief adopted a decidedly
unique method Of carrying on CLAM
destine correspondence with him while
he was awaiting trial. One day tho
jailer was visited by tho prisoners be-
trothed, who asked him to give her
lover an envelope. This upon being
opened was found to contain simply
small lock OF her hair. around which
was folded q leaf OF a book. The
jailer did not consider II worth his
culprit, and therefore threw 1t aside.
A day or two later similar In
closure was handed In at the prison
gate and shared tho fate of the prede-
cessor. In the course of q week an
other was left by the Same person.
This aroused the suspicion Of the gov
ernor OF the prison, to whom had been
detailed the circumstances. He de-
termincd to investigate the meaning,
and accordingly first examined the
printed leaf This he found was torn
from novel and contained twenty-six
lines on each side. He then turned
his attention to the hair, and discovered
that there were twenty-six pieces OF
unequal length. This puzzled him for
n while, and then suddenly jumping to
the ecIclusion that there must be some
connection between the number OF the
printed limos and the number OF hairs
he laid each OF the lattor along the
line. of the page they respectively
reached, beginning with the shortest
hair, at the top OF the leaf.
After changing them about several
times he discovered that each hair
pointed to different letter, and the
combination thus produced formed q
slang sentence, by means Of which the
prisoner was given to understand that
his friends had ascertained the day on
which he was to be taken to court and
were determined to make q bold at
tempt to rescue him as soon as he made
his appearance.
Taking the cue the governor adopted
every precaution to Illustrate the we'll
laid plans OF the outsiders; the attempt
was made and, as natural conse-
quence, the conspirators soon found
themselves in the same condition Us

THE CAMP FIRE.
EXPERIENCES AND INCIDENTS
OF THE LATE REBELLION.
How the Pension Helped 20 Avert
the Recently Threatened Panic
--Chickamauga Park-The
q. a. R.-Etc.

The changer Of n panic, which seemed
80 alarmingly imminent at the begin
ming OF last winter. is now definitely
past. and the country, recovering from
the temporary scare. has started on n
new career OF prosperity, which we
are sanguine will be long-enduring.
There Is no doubt In the mind Of any
man at all familiar with the facts that
nothing did more to avert the panic
than the large pension disburse-
ments. So long as the PEN
sion bureau was diffusing among the
common people about $3S, 900. 900
every three months, there could not
be severely stringent lack OF ready
money in the country. This $33, 000,-
900 did the work that 10 times that
amount would not have done In the
hands Of bankers and money lords, for
1t did not lie idle day. 1t was turned
over and over constantly from the
very moment 1t was received from the
Pension Agents hands. Everybody
got some of 1t. everybody's business
was helped by it. and every wheel OF
industry and trade was fabricated by
1t.
More money was paid the bondhold-
ers than the veterans, but that paid
the bondholders was nothing like the
help to the country that the pension
payments were. 1t went into the
vaults OF New York capitalists and
bankers, to be used in stock specula-
tons and other operations OF no espec-
ial benefit to the people. One hun
dred dollars Of pension money prob
ably paid, inside of three months,
many thousand dollars OF debts to
butchers. bakers, workingmen, dry
goods merchants, grocers, etc.. where
81. 900 paid the bondholder lay idle in
the bank, or was put up as margins
on stock speculation. Had there
been panic it would have cost the
country many times as much money
as has been paid out for pensions
since the system began. The aid
given, therefore, in averting panic
by paying out $134, 000 600 for pen
sions was an excellent investment for
the country, from purely financial
point OF view.-National Tribune.
