Gen. Nelson. Match.

Speaking of Gen. Nelson saw him
meet his match on one occasion. He
was given to experimenting personally
the crossing of rivers, and on one occa-
sion he made eight men jump into the
water and drag out a half-drowned
mule. After an experience Of this
kind he came upon wagon-train stuck
in the mud. Lieut.. Igoe, quarter
master of the Thirty-fifth Indiana rcgi-
ment was working as hard as man
could work to get the wagon out, and
had his men in position for lift when
SSel:on rode up. Pushing his way
up close to the major, Nelson roared
out:
BLANK you, sir, what's the matter
with that wagon?''
Raising his hot face. the major
roared back:
You get out Of this, blank YOU The
wagons stuck in the mud. Any
blank fool can see that
do you know who am sir? Do
you know who am, sir?' shouted
Nelson in fury.
Certainly do responded the
major. .'You are the quartermaster of
that Ohio regiment in front, and you
can't boss me around. Nobody but
old Nelson himself can do that"
Nelson chuckled and rode away.

DURING the war when there was
but little scruple about foraging"
in the enemy's territory. there were
always two excuses ready, OF the de-
mands of the hungry that were not
supplied by the monotonous and
sometimes scanty rations given out.
and the feeling that it was only a
formal conliscation" OF that which.
If left would give aid and comfort to
the enemy" So scrupulous were
some in this respect that soldiers have
been known to travel miles TO forage
from a supposed secessionist while
their friends much nearer to them
were unmolested. But our collectors
spare neither friend nor neighbor.

pride themselves more upon few
trophies that they have purloined
from some other collector than
upon those which they took from the

now ouay's Ancestor Cot a Pension.


ut is a great deal easier to get pen

was in Washington talking to Senator
Quay and he convinced me of that fact.
He showed me number of papers that
had come into his possession from some
Of his ancestors. The paper tells a
good story. One of the Sena-
tors ancestors, who lived in Vir-
ginia, and fought in both the Revolu-
tionary and Colonial wars. wanted u
pension. He applied for it during the
winter of 1898. At that time aid was
only given to soldiers who could prove
that they were poverty stricken. An
application for pension then was
handled very much like request for
aid from poor board is now. Quay's
relatives proved his need. but to-day
the papers are ludicrous thing to us.
He stated that his sole possessions con-
sisted of twelve acres of land and two
slaves. The land was so beastly poor
that it would not raise white
beans. The colorcd men were of less
value; according to his statement
The one was rheumatic man of Gs,

Thomas Barr of Humboldt some time
in the future proposes to give the mem
bers of Vicksburg Post bean supper,
says the Humboldt (Tenn.) Record,
and the beans used for the occasion
are to show straight record of ''pedi
gree" from the army bean of
the late war. Mr.. Barr was
a member of the One Hundred
and Forty-fourth Illinois Infantry, and
in 1864 he, with others of his command,
was ordered out on an expedition, and
before leaving camp he provided him
self with ration or two of uncooked
beans. On the march our soldier friend
carried small wooden box in which
were deposited newspaper clippings
accounts of battles that he
had been in-and other light
trinkets. Some of the beans
found Judgment in this box. When he
returned from the expedition he found
a few beans in the box and proceeded
to empty them out, but, as is shown,
one solitary bean remained. In 1865
Mr.. Barr was discharged from the ser
vice. and on his arrival home the little
box, without examination of its con-
tents, was placed in his trunk.
Two years ago this spring.
in sending home for some
articles that were in the trunk, a re-
quest was made to send the box. On
looking over the articles it contained
he found bean Of war times in 1864.
Mr.. Barr planted the bean and the re-
suit for 1890 was IS beans. He planted
them all in 1891. Thirty-six of them
grew, the yield being Isis beans.
This number was planted this season
and the plants are growing vigorously.
1t is likely that enough beans will be
raised this year for the proposed sup
per. The old boys hope so, at least.

A Friends Tribute.

We are generally struck with
deep sense of sorrow at the death of
the youth who is just merging into
manhood, with all the energies of his
nature buoyed up by bright hopes
and anticipations of life of future
usefulness and social distinction.
Eddie Byrd, the subject of this no.
tice, was suddenly snatched from the
tender embraces of his loving pa
rents on the Dist inst, at the resi-.
denCe of his father, j. A. Byrd, in
District 81, at the critical but hopeful
age of II years.
Eddie was youth of many noble
virtues. Coupled with most smi-
able temper, was OF an unohtrusive
native simplicity, blended with be-
coming diffidence.
His retiring, inoffensive habits, aud
habits of difference and cOmplaicence
for his fellows, were but manifesto
tons of his generous, noble nature.
Eddie was good boy; one that sell
dom, if ever, committed wrong in
tentionally. He loved his associates,
and never offered any one harm or
offence, but deported himself with an
unusual meekness.
He loved his parents with an I'M
fading love that will link their souls
to his immortal spirit in that happy
home "from whose bourn no traveller
returns
His afflicted parents have our most
sincere sympathy in this, the most
heartrendine of earthly bereavments.
