Old War Comrades.

Joseph Morrison of Clinton, H.,
came into the headquarters tent of the
Seventeenth corps and said he wanted
to register. While waiting his turn at
the book DIR. Littlewood of that city,
who served in the Twentieth Illinois,
looked at him rather suspiciously, then
got up and walked around and took him
in from the other side. Then he tapped
him on the shoulder and Remarked:
you were at Fort Henry and Fort
Donelson, weren't you?" 'Oh, yes"
came the answer, and then the stranger
began to look ''Took part at Shiloh,
didn't you?" continued DR.. Littlewood,
land the capture of Vicksburg and the
march to the sea?" ''Of course 1 did,
and so did you, aud-wall, I'll be
if it isn't Littlewood." shouted the
stranger, as he jumped from his seat
and made rush for his old comrade,
whom he had not seen since the day
they were mustered out, after serving
in the same company during the war
Maybe they were not delighted. Wash

Seven, think"
THAT was a shell and we got badly
dosed. All of our company, too. Can
you reach that musket? Some prowler
may come along here. and we want to
be ready for him"
We were looking into the darkness
and looking when he began to laugh
l laughed with him. Two minutes
later we were both weeping. Then he
started to sing, and / joined in. We
realized that we laughed, cried and
sang, but we could not control our
selves He began to tell of the battle,
but flew mad and called him a liar.
He would have struck me, but just then
we caught sight of q ghoul silently APP
preaching.
''Ah, you devil-Tl fix your' shouted
my comrade as he raised his musket.
The ghoul ran away, and both of us
laughed heartily. Then we wept
again. All of sudden he began sing
ing His song was 'Capt- Jinks," and
joined in with great heartiness. We
were singing at the top of our voices
when party of three or-four men, hav-
ing lantern and stretcher, suddenly
appeared We ceased our song, and
one of the party held the lantern down
and said:
Hard lot, Ell? Well, you Yanks are

SMALL SHOT,.

THE largest number Of men enlisted
from the thirteen states of America
during the revolutionary war was So
761 in 1916. The aggregate of troops
furnished the Union army in the war of
1876 was 1920, 272.
Probably the tallest G. A. Il. veter-
an is William P. Boyne, of Green coun-
ty, Pa, who stands seven feet in his
stockings. During the war he was a
private soldier in the Twenty-second
Pennsylvania cavalry.
ONE of the old soldiers who was in
Washington during the recent reunion
carries on his body forty-eight scars,
and exhibits an empty coat-sleeve and
an artificial eye, all the result of a
bursting shell at Gettysburg His

THE late Gen. John Pope, by dating
one of his orders Headquarters in the

mander. Robert Z. Lee, to perpetrate
what was said to be the only joke Of his
life. "What can you expect. he is
credited with saying, ''of a general who
puts his headquarters where his hind
quarters ought to be?"
GEN. LoSGsTREET, one Of the most
famous of Lees corps commanders,

PEOPLE WITH QUEER WOUNDS
A Man Who stopped Cannon Ball with
His stomach.

A Man Who stopped a Cannon Ball With
His stomach.
There are some veterans with queer
records in attendance at this encamp-
ment. One of these, known Familiarity
as Comrade Chase, who served in
Maine battery during the war, carries
the scars of forty-eight wounds receiv-
ed in a single battle, that of Gettys-
burg. His numerous wounds resulted
from the explosion of a spherical case
Immediately in front of him at that
memorable battle
Corporal John Burns, of Ohio, re-
ceives a pension for aopeculiar wound
which is described in the pension bureau
as shot in the hip with a barrel of SUI
gar" Burns was on guard duty at
sharp railroad curve in Virginia during
the latter part of the war, and was
struck on the hip and disabled by bar
rel of sugar, which was thrown sudden
ly from the ricl1ety car by the momem-
tum at the turn in the road. Another
veteran who is present is recorded in
the bureau as having stopped cannon
ball with his abdomen. He was sitting
in tent near headquarters when a
spent cannon ball came bounding along
and struck him in the stomach with
sufficient force to render him hors de
combat, but not to kill him.
Still another queer case is that of a
Pennsylvania veteran who will, no
doubt, be found in the ''silent brigade"
during the parade. He was rendered
totally deaf by cannon ball, which
whizzed by his head in uncomfortably
close proximity at the battle of Malvern
Hill. In describing the sensation after
ward he said it felt for an instant as if
fifty cyclones had burst loose about his
head. The conclusion also paralyzed
him for several minutes. There is an
other pensioner here who receives a
monthly allowance from Uncle Sans
till for horse bite on the neck" He
was cavalryman, and claims to have
been bitten by vicious animal while
serving with Sheridan in his valley ride.
The bite resulted in partial paralysis of
the spine. These are but few illus
trations OF the various and multitu-
dinous peculiarities of war which will
be represented at the Grand army en-
campment. Washington Post

THEN AND NOW.
c. 4 R.-wAsH1NeroN. -

C. A R.-wAsHINGToS, 1892
From the wide and wind-swept prairies,
From the rugged sea-blOwn coast
From the uplands and the lowlands,
They Ihronged in a mighty host
Forth from the towns and cities,
With the speed Of the rushing train,
They hurried, the dear old fellows,
To answer the roll again
Then they fell into line and column.
Regiment and brigade.
With the gallant colors streaming,
And the fiery music played.
And they marched as in the old time.
Though here was the tap OF crutch,
And there droop OF an empty sleeve
Tangling the heart in its clutch.
The heaven Of mid-September
Beamed over them blue and bland,
And women smiled their welcomes,
And children waved hand.
There were mirth and greetings only
In the wake Of this latest camp,
Though the death-thinned ranks remembered
The past in that sturdy tramp
Remembered a long procession.
Staggering, sore bespent,
Back from hundred battles,
With banners grimed and rent
Boys with their gaunt pale faces,
Inc IrlenoS OF munger ana tn1rSts
Men who had looked through the gates ofhell
And dared the devil his worst.
Up from the Mississippi,
From the flame-scarred Georgian track,
From the Wilderness and from Gettysburg;
Those soldiers came toiling back.
Are these the same, one marvels:
Does the old light CLEAN and shine,
AS they follow the fife and bugle
In the long unwavering line:
Aye, verify Here are the comrades
With brown heads turned TO gray,
And lint-white locks have the gray-beards,
Strong in that elder day.
They LEFT their youth behind them
In the tempest of years agone.
When sweet out of Wars rough cradle
Slipped Peace in the breaking dawn.
Hats on There's greater army
Unstirred in its silent sleep
BY the ponderous tread of the living
And the lannon's thunder deep.
An army that keeps its muster
On stones that as sentries stand,
With the names of tens of thousands,
The flower of all the land.
The winds are forever chanting
requiem for these;
Brave autumn fiaunts their banners
In the flushing maple-trees:
And the glad birds, winging southwark,
Over them pause and rest.
Dropping song for love, above
The flower of East and West.
A truce TO memory's dreaming;
Oh, flag that we live to serve;
BY all that we hold most holy,
Never from thee wen swervei
Dear flag that rallies nation,
mighty growing host,
From the breezy, ripping prairies
To the rugged sea-blown coast.

CHILL has signified her intention
to send commissioners to Washing
ton for the purpose Of arbitrating
claims by Americans against that
country. Thus the little republic
has at last complied with all the con-
ditions in the Presidents ultimatum
arising out OF the Valparaiso Incl
dent. No further difficulties need be
apprehended in her cities or waters
by American sailors or citizens. Her
irascible mobs have learned whole
some lesson, while the good sense and
intelligence of her people cannot fail
to realize that the common interests
of the American republics demand
honest friendship in all their inter
national transactions. Should Chill
require a friend hereafter in any diff
GUILTY in which it would be constitu-
tional for this Government to prove
her ally, Americans will be quick to
come to her aid. Meanwhile let the

Lovers of Warmth.

The Invention of fire was great
step in the progress of the human
race, and it is not strange that so
many unclvilized peoples have super
stitious notions connected with IT..
Mrs. Millett, in her account OF the
aborigines OF Australia, has some in
teresting observations under this
head. When the natives camp for
the night fire is lighted in front of
each hut-the huts being made OF
boughs, with the entrance carefully
turned away from the wind--so that
the feet of those who are sleeping
within may be kept warm.
If one OF their relatives has lately
died, an additional and solitary fire
is lighted at a little distance from
the huts, where the ghost OF the de-
ceased may sit and warm itself with
out disturbing the family hearth. In
fact, warmth is so great a necessity
to the native that he seems to think
that the dead can only by degrees be-
come accustomed to the want OF 1t,
and the airing of grave by kindling
fire within 1t is very important
ceremony at funeral.
The same love OF warmth creates

FOR OUR LITTLE FOLKS.
A COLUMN OF PARTICULARS IN
TEREsT TO THEM.
What Children Have Done. What They
Are Doing. and what They should DO
to Pass Their Childhood Days.
About Bi.esbirds.

What boy or girl has not read
about that famous blackbird who
plucked of the nose OF the maid
while she was hanging up clothes In
the Kings garden, or OF the "Four
and twenty blackbirds all baked In a
pie"
Well, let us see IL we can find out
what blackbirds live on and what
they do, says the New York Mail and
Express. The commoner ones live on
worms and snails and all kinds of in
sects. But there are other blackblrds
which have red wings, and they are
more particular about what they eat.
They generally live in the Southern
States and feed on rice or corn, and
are great trouble to the farmers
because Of the large numbers that
come and eat the ripe grain In the
fields. When the grain has all been
gathered in, do syou suppose they
starve? No, indeed; they are too
cunning for that. They simply find
out where it has been placed and go
there for their meals. But they are
pretty birds, with their glossy, black
feathers, and we must not blame
them. They have to eat, and, like
many persons, take the easiest way
OF getting their food.
