WAR "REMINISCENCES.
OUR TRUCE.

am getting bowed and I've long been gray,
veteran from our southern land,
But feel Ike soldier again to-day.
As l grasp yor- strong. brown hand
Enough many year has passed since We met,
II seems but day 70 me
Since we buried our dead, with the battle-dew
wet,
On that hill by the Tennessee.
A bugler in gray gsnop'd down TO the shore
And signald truce 70 the blue;
Two captains rode out mid the rack and the
gore,
was one, the other was you
We met meath a tree where two young soldiers
lay
We shouted. the men made no sign:
The one was your brother, who'd falln in the
fray
The other was brother of mine.
Meath the oak where they they fell we made
them one grave,
Your eyes and mine were damp,
We cut in the bark They were foemen and
brave
Then we turned and each rode to his camp.
Like true men we fought till lighting was vain
For those who drew sword on your side;
But I've yeaFnd TO meet you and greet you
again
For the sake Of the brothers who died.
For a truce, truce that shall never be broke,
Has come for you and and for me;
We are brothers at heart, through the brothers
who sleep

ODD BITS FOR OLD VETS.

THE governor of Ohio carried mus
ket in the union army. The governor
of Indiana was a private soldier in the
same army, and so was the governors of
Illinois and Wisconsin.
ONE of the legacies enumerated in the
will of the late Commodore Hunter, of
New Orleans, was block of confeder-
ate bonds of the face value of $500,
which he had received for his services
in the confederate navy.
VETERAN tells this little story to
the Washington Post: 4 was in a rail
road car on a certain occasion going to
the unwilling of monument to some
general. We were in the smoker, when
Gen. Sherman, who had been back in
the sleeping car, came in. He sat down
and began talking to me. In few
minutes an old soldier came in and said:
Gen. Sherman, | want to shake hands
with you. / am an old soldier and
fought through the war Tell me.
said Gen. Sherman, reaching out his
hand, did you put down the rebellion?
No Well, sit down, then. l am al
ways glad to talk with an old soldier
who didn't put down the rebellion"
EX-Gov. CURTIT's years have not
dulled the wit that has always made
him one Of the most agreeable compan-
ions. He happened to be talking about
horses to some friends at Tyrone the
other day and recalled little incident
of war times. Some one had sought his
advice about buying a good roadster,
and he recommended the would-be pur-
chaser to DIR. Rutherford, of Harris
burg, who said: do you want first
class animal? Well, you can not go
amiss in buying any horse you see with
in a radius of forty miles of Harrisburg,
for all the bad horses have been bought
up and turned over to the government
for the use of the army" Gov. Curtin
bears his age well and is said to be
looking better now than for ten wears
past.
IN 1864 among the soldiers on duty in
Chattanooga was w. o. Blake, private
in Company II, Twenty-third Michigan
infantry. While in camp here a com
rade made a watch charm for Mr.. Blake
by rubbing smooth both sides of an
English shilling and engraving upon it
the initials wv Q. b. He carried the
charm a few days, when he lost it, and
during the experiences of after years
forgot all about it. In 1854 Mr.. Blake
moved to Chattanooga with his family
from Michigan and rented house at
the corner Of Fourth and Moon streets,
and in 1889, while digging in the yard,
he found a small piece Of metal, which,
upon being cleaned and polished, proved
to be the engraved coin he lost in 1864
This beats finding a needle in a hay

age in conversation the other day with
an aid-de-campo Gen Alexander Hays

MCDOWELL IN TOWN.
He Talks to The COMET
Reporter and Says
That
RoBT. L, TAYLOR Will WIN IN THE
SENATORIAL CONTEST.

John H. Mcdowell, coal oil inspec-
tor under Governor Buchanan, and
the man who has probably been cuss-
ed and discussed more than any other
man in the State, arrived in the city
last Friday on the vestibule en- route to
Carter and Johnson counties where be
will spend a week hunting and fishing.
THE COMET reporter met the inspector
at the Piedmont Hotel and was allow
ed few minutes talk with him, in
which he expressed himself quite free
ly on some of the leading issues Of the
day. Mr.. Mcdowell says that the Al
lance is fast becoming stro niger, and
at the close OF the year will have more
strength than 1.-THE beginning When
asked as to the chances of "Our Bob"
for the United States Senate, he said
that they were good, and that he
would beat Bate. He said that, as ev.
ry one knew, Governor Taylor was
young and jealous and had done
much good work in the eventful cam
paign just past, that he had
daily made many new friends
all of whom were for him in prefer
enee to Bate, which seems to be the
general tend of nearly everyone all
over the State. Personally Mr.. Nc
Dowell said that he was not for either
one of the two, but preferred Taylor to
Bate, In regard to the Mcdowell
WINS sell out, he said that as before he
denounced it as falsehood at the be-
ginning, and stood ready to defend
himself against the man who intima
ted that it was. He said that he knew
the plot was on foot ten days before
it was made public, and that WINS was
the only man who desired any bene-
fit in the way OF money from it..
When asked what course Governor
Buchanan would pursue when his
term OF Office expired in January, he
said that he would return to his home
in the country. Mr.. Mcdowell said
that it was false that either he or
Buchanan had ancient hen .ruit tossed
at them at anyplace or anywhere, dur
ing the whole campaigne. AS to the
result of the election, he told the Gov
ernor two days before it came off that
he had no earthly chance to be re-
elected, and the vote was just what he
had polled the state and found tito be.

Probable Renewal OF the War In Han.
cock County.

Only few years ago the Greene
Jones feud broke out in Hancock
County, and as a consequence several
of the participants are now in their
graves, many others are in the Peni-
tentiary, others have left the conntry,
and some others remain at large as
terrors to the community. Monday
morning last, young Henri Greene
was found dead with bullet in his
brain. OF the affair the following
particulars have been learned;
Last Monday morning Thomas
Greene, one Of the leaders on the
Greene side, went out before daylight
to feed his horses and as he was pass
ing where the cane mill had stood he
saw by the light Of the moon his son
Henry Greene, laying en- the pile Of
csne, supposing the boy was asleep as
he had been on big spree for some
time, he went up to wake him up
When he got up he found the boy
dead, bullet hole in his head, and ht
had his pistol in both hands and they
were across his breast.
Some thinks it was snicide. Other
think he was killed and placed there
1t is not reasonable that man woult
fall on his back and grasp a pisto
with both hands after shooting him
self, and at the same time push hi
hat on the back of his head. The cas-
savors very strong Of murder.
Thos. Greene lives just inside th
Hawkins county line and itls no
known where the boy was killed, if j
was done by any other than himsel
as there is no witnesses to the fact S
far.

DANA FOR THE SENATE.
The Editor Of the sun Nominated BY
the Heaald.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-The Herald to-
day demands that the new United
States Senator for this State soon to
be elected by the Legislature, shall be
"some gentleman who has made him
self part OF New York City, thought
for its welfare, shown the quality OF
his Democracy by his public acts and
mettle of his integrity by an unblem-
ished record" The editorial proceeds
to say:
1T is easy to find such man, scores,
in fact We are not insidious, ho wev-
ever, in naming Chas. A. Dana, as in
all respects entitled to the honor of
the position. When the Herald pro-
posed his name some time ago, Sem
ator, then Gov. Hill, was reported az
saying that if we had spoken sooner
he would have done all he could to
bring about the desired result, but
that we were too late in making the
nomination. Senator Hill has now op-
portunity to recoup himself. II he
chooses to throw his influence for the
election of Mr.. Dana, the Nestor OF the
American press, he will not only Sc
cure for himself the ablest colleague
IN sight, but will help put the right
man in the right place. II we set Mr..
Dans's ripened craftsmanship, his
practical and profound knowledge of
national questions against the politi-
cal wires and wire pulling Of Mr.. MUIR
ply, hesitation would seem to be inn
possible. Mr.. Dana is not only New
Yorker in all his interests, but he did
more than Mr.. Hill did in the cam
paign to win the battle for the Demo-
cratic party. If rewards are to be dis.
tributed, why select Mr.. Murphy, who
was energetically opposed to the sue
ce sful candidate, rather than Dana,
who thew his whole strength into the
fight, and 30 deserves the recognition
which this honor implies, and if a man
OF brains is to be our choice why hit
upon pigmy when grant Is near at
hand? Tammany and Hill, If they
are wise and il their professions OF SER
vice to The people are genuine, will
send Mr.. Murphy to the rear and
bring the name Of Charles A. Dana to
! the front"
