statement Regarding Union Prisoners.

@. 8. Bolton, Superintendent Of Faneuil Hall,
Boston. Mass, says that in order to refute be-
yond question the story frequently reiterated
In the South during the war and which gained
some slight credence in the North in reference
10 the Government making inadequate pr0yis-
ions for the subsistence of its prisoners, the
Bureau of Military Prisons gave the following
item in its report to the War Department.:
"That during the four years in which depois
for the reception Of Southern prisoners were
KENT in many Of the Northern cities. there ac-
cunulated a fund Of upwards of SO COO
from a sale of the excess of ratiOns issued to
and not consumed by the prisoners; and more
than half Of this sum was used while the war
was progressing in the purchase Of wines and
ieIIies for the benefit Of the occupants Of the
prison hospitals"

Saved By a Brave Captain.

Color Guard, 126th Pa, Houstontown, Pa,
says that in the retreat Of Tyler'5 Brigade,
Hung hrey's Division, Fifth Corps, May 3, 1863,
in front Of the Chancellor House there was a
little scene that the writer remembers, in which
two rebel soldiers ran into cur ranks and tried
to take out Of the color-beaFer's hands the col
ors Of the 129th Pa. and that Captain Of that
regiment, large very dark man, cut down
one Of the rebels and brought out the other one
a prisoner. Bates's History says Of this scene: :
"The colors were twice seized, but were de-
Tended with great gallantry and brought safely
off," The writer wishes some one of the 10th
Pa. who was familiar with the details of this
incident, would write them up for publication.

that his reg meut assembled Lookout Mountain,
Sept. 9, 1863, and was the first Union regiment

Ca; drove away the rebel picket5 and unfurled
its flag on the edge Of the palisade in sight Of
the whole Fourteenth Corps, which was en-

Always Diving,

Life indeed consists in series of
changes of tissue, and the human econ
omy Is simply, as far as its material part
is concerned, machine, and primarily
depends on food as the most important
factor in keeping it in working order.
When it is said that we commence to
die as soon as we are born, it of course
means that certain parts of the body i'm
mediately begin to perish; their exist
ence is ephemeral; they come and go,
are replenished and decay. They are
the dying parts of that system of life,
winch may last little while, but which
must eventually yield to the inexorable
law OF nature. The nails, the hair, ETC.,
are observable as an instance of this de-
cay The same rule applies to every
other organ and tissue of the body,
though 1t Is not palpable to the naked
eye. The skin is always peeling. The
food that is taken in the one hour
nourishes the system, and elects that
which was taken the hour before
