coffee, which was always of good
quality, was made in the same kettle
as the beef or pork (as the case might
be) had been boiled in; consequently
it was neither fragrant or delicious.
The cooks, being inexperienced, had
burnt the peas. Oh, it made me tired!

hands and resolved that we would eat
no more such slop as the cooks had
prepared, MS long as our money lasted,
which, by the way. was not long. But
by this time everything was becoming
better, so we readily broke into eating
the rations furnished by Uncle Sam.
We soon learned to adapt ourselves to
our circumstances, and were becoming
disciplined soldiers. At some future

But little remains of the old prison
pen at Andersonville. There are only
few half-rotted posts left to mark the
line of the stockade, and few low
earthworks where the gates were.
Some of the wells and tunnels dug by
prisoners who hoped to escape there by

now the property of the Grand Army

A BRONZE bust of Gen. Benjamin F.
Butler, modelled by Cyrus Cobb, has
been bought by colored citizens of Bos-
ton and will be placed by them in the
new memorial hall of Lowell. Gen.
Butler always claimed to be the first to
enroll black men as soldiers, and more
than limited that he forced President
Lincoln to issue his proclamation Civ
ing the blacks their freedom while the
president was still doubtful of the ex-
pediency of the move.
WHEN the late Gen. Butler was in
command in New Orleans a woman of
that city applied to him for a pass
! through the union lines that she might
see her son, who was lying wounded in
a house in the suburbs. The general
told her that she could have one if she
would take the oath of allegiance. This
she refused to do, and argued long and
earnestly against it, breaking into a
flood of tears at length and exclaiming:
"You do not know how love my son. "
"Ah!" cried Butler, with scathing sar-
casm, "but you love secession bcttcr." j"

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
EARLY LESSONS.

Recol1cctions of tho Trials OF the Grcon |
soldier.
sour first camp after leaving Elmira, |
was ut Laurel, Md, and here began |
our soldier life. Here we were drilled
and drilled. used to think that we
never would be anything but con-
fused mob, but in time we began to
show signs of improvement, and at last
became so proficient that the officers
would often drill us on fancy moves,
just to please their wives, which we
often thought pretty hard on us. 1t re-
minds me of u certain colonel who had
a regiment encamped on Upton Hill,
Va. Now this colonel had q pretty
daughter in camp visiting him, whose
chief delight was to see the boys drill.
After the colonel had put them through
the various flank movements on double
quick, until they were tired out, she,
in perfect ecstasy of enthusiasm,
would cry out: oh, pa, do trot them
around once more! They do look so
nice These things sometimes made
the boys say uncomplimentary things
of the aforesaid officers, (but always
where the officers could not hear them)
I remember it was here at this camp
-Laurel-I attended my first
guard mounting. The ranks had
been opened, and the first rank
faced about, and our ndjutant
was inspecting the muskets. He
came to me, received my musket all
right, run the rammer up and down the
inside of the barrel to see if there was
any rnst, and then suddenly tossed it
back to me. He was about four feet
from me, and !, being green, failed to
catch the muslSet, consequently, it hit
me on the hand and foot, causing me
to vince, for it hurt. The adjutant
exclaimed: You will know better
next time, young man He was right,
did, and had you passed our company
street next day, you might have seen
yours truly along with companion
tossing muskets at one another for all
we were worth. / also learned another
lesson during this tour of guard duty.
1t was just before dark when / saw
this adjutant (oh, l thought he was the
bane of my life) coming across the
field toward either my beat, or the one
next to it, but, luckily for me, he went
to the man next to me, and said:
Guard, what nice musliet you
have, and how nice you keep it Just
let me look at it?'
HE handed it over to him and the
adjutant Immediately started for the
guard house and sent a corporal
out with man to relieve him, and
then put him under arrest for allowing
his muslzet to go out of his hands VIII lie
on duty.
''The lesson was not lost on me, as.
sure you. These and many other
trials were necessary to make n soldier
out of farmer. / came in from this
tour of guard duty, sick and disgusted,
for every thing we ate was cooked in
three or four sheet-iron vessels. The

Tho Strange Way in Which Wounded
Confederate Saved His Leg.
In 1864 found myself in northern
hospital for wounded confederate pris-
oners. 1t was situated on high bluff
and commanded a magnificent view of
the Mississippi river, which washed
the shores of three states almost at our
very front, Missouri, Iowa and Illi-
nois. l had received a splinter from a
stray shell in my left leg, which, after
all, was blessing in disguise, for it
was the means of my meeting, loving,
proposing to and marrying real, gen.
uine. homespun, big-hearted Yankee
girl. Being at the time prejudiced
against the north, I looked with sus.
picion upon everything and every one
about me, and, as the sequel proved,
my suspicious, so far as the sur
geons were concerned, were not with
out foundation. Among the nurses
was tall, biue-eyed girl about twen-
ty-two. From time to time she brought
me papers, books and novels.
frequently heard grating sounds,
accompanied by groans and cries Of
pain. Upon inquiry, my nurse, whose
Christian name was Mary, informed
me that the saws caused the grating
noise during the process of amputation.
Upon further investigation l learned
that the resident-surgeon received a
certain fee for all certified ap,puta-
tions. Here was an incentive. Might
they not take off limb when amputa-
tion was entirely unnecessary? The

winter Amusements in tho Country.

WINTER III the
What species of amusements are open
to the country people? At this season
of the year they might revive the olden
custom of apple bees, which blended
some utility with a vast amount OF
amusement A singing-school in a
neighborhood always furnishes a whole.
some pastime. Every country school
house might be profitably used one
evening week by the young people
having spelling school. This is a
species of amusement that would be at
tended with great deal of profit. The
farmers might advantageously use the
school-houses one evening in week to
discuss agricultural and other topics.
Thus between social gatherings, apple
bees, singing and spelling schools and
debating clubs there should be no lack
of amusement in the country during
the winter months.-N. Y. Ledger.

Tahoe was named by the Indians who

Did it ever occur to you that

the iudicious use of good paint on the
outside of house can materially increase
the value of the building? Most of the
increase is IN fancy, of course Just in the
appearance of the house-that's all. But
what a difference one or two coats of
paint can make, to be sure. Perhaps
you have property you want to sell or
rent and are thinking of painting it. You
would like it to be a good and permanent
Job, but you don't want to spend any
more money than you can help. Here is
where the Chiffon Paints prove them
selves the most economical. as they are
also the most enduring and weather-de-
fying. They are well ground in pure
linseed oil and turpentine drler, have a
good solid body, and will be found to do
as much work as twice the quantity of
some paints, and do it better, too. Get
estimates on one coat, two coats, and
three coats of Chiffon Paint. You rarely
will need more than two coats, and where
the house is in good condition and the
