the river past Vicksburg. When the
lookouts on the batteries saw her there
was great commotion, and every gun
along the shore opened fire on her. The
earth trembled under the mighty dis
charges, and shot after shot struck the
supposed war vessel. But as there were
no boilers on her to blow up or powder
to explode, and as she could not sink,
she moved majestically and slo Wy
along, not even deigning to reply to the
mighty avalanche of shot and shell
which was hurled ut her. For over an
hour she was under fire, and then
passed beyond the batteries.
All this time there was CONSERVATION

The modification of the confederates

"What is August Flower for ?"
AS easily answered as asked. 1t is
for Dyspepsia. 1t is a special rem
edy for the Stomach and Liver
Nothing more than this. We believe
August Flower cures Dyspepsia.
We know it will. We have reasons
for knowing it. To-day it has an
honored place in every town and
country store, possesses one of the
largest manufacturing plants in the
country, and sells everywhere. The
reason is simple. 1t does one thing,
and doesit right. Itcures dyspepsia9

WAR NAMES,
s.briqucts Given Noted Generals by the
Soldiers.

Soldiers.
The nomenclature of the army was
particularly rich in descriptive titles,
and study of the men upon whom
these names were bestowed will dis
cover the fact that very few of them
were ill-advised or misplaced.
Gen. Ulysses Simpson Grant was at
first called ''Old United States" from
the initials of his name. After the
little episode at Fort Donelson, when
he issued the edict which stamped him
as equal to the emergency, his men en-
Enthusiastically declared that those ini-
tials stood for Unconditional Surren-
der"
In fact, those initials caused him not
q little perturbation of mind, and in
the end he actually had to abandon his
baptismal name to save the dignity of
West Point, which unwittingly gave
him n name that didn't belong to him;
but since it was "writ down" the red
tape complications involved in rcstor-
ing his right name presented formidable
obstacles which he hesitated to tackle.
Many of his men called him "Old
Three Stars" that indicating his rank
as lieutenant general. Later, when
fighting the battle with the conqueror
who soon or late subdues all flesh, he
became known the world over as the
''Silent Sufferer"
Gen. William Il. Sherman was famil-
iarly called "Uncle Billy" by his men
and also "Old Tecumseh."
Gen. George B. Mcclellan, who was a
prime favorite with his men, became
endeared to them as Little Mac"
Gen. George c. Meade wore glasses
and was speedily dubbed "Four-Eyed
George" from that and from the fact
that he was keen and quick and very
little escaped his observation. The
title was one of which he was proud,
for he knew il was not designed to cut
two ways
Gen. Ambrose q. Burnside, who re-
lieved Mcclellan rs commander of the
Army of tho Potomac, was Mt first
colonel of the First Rhode Island, but
when he came to the dignity of general
hc was titled "Rhody." Incidentally it
may be stated that Gen. Burnside also
gave name TO the particular cut OF
''side burns" so much in vogue few
years since. '"The general with his
whislsers" was considered q very hand
some figure.
Gen. Joseph L. Hooker got the SOU
briquet Fighting joe" which he hated
heartily, and the man who was spoil
fng for scrap" could earn 1t easily
by alluding to the doughty generals
title in his presence.

OLD JACK DUBElN.
The Funny War Story That Was Related
by Gen. Grant.

There was no better, more loyal or
more fearless soldier than old Jack
Dublin, but he had one fault and that
was an overwecning fondness for the
whisky bottle, or rather for its con-
tents He had a boon companion
whose real name / never knew, but
everyone called him Uncle 81. While
in camp old Jack was taken ill of a
fever, and, despite the unremitting at
tention of Uncle 81, died. The corpse
developed an unusual rigidity after
death and q strange tendency to fly up
