Many We're the thrilling episodes and
adventures of the great war which fell
in fascinating recitals from the lips u
Gen. sherman, but they are either re.
corded in the pages of his autobiog,

humor is, perhaps, worth preserving
from all the war talk which we en-
joyed.
General Thomas, said he, 'junior
to me in rank, but senior in service,
was stern diseiplinarian. He had re-
ceived many complaints about the pill
fering and plundering committed by
one of his brigades, and. being re-
solved to put this offense down, he is
sued some very strict orders, menacing
with death any one who should trans.
gress. The brigade in question wore
for its badge an acorn, in silver or
gold, and the men We're Unfortunately
fond of this distinctive sign. Several
eases of disobedience had been re-
ported to the General, but the evidence
was never strong enough for decisive
action, until one day, riding with an
orderly down by-lane outside the
post, Thomas came full upon an Irish
man who, having laid down his rifle,
with which he had killed hog, was
busily engaged in skinning the anima
with his sword bayonet, so as to make
easy work with the bristles, etc, be-
fore cooking some pork chops.

Two or three of the Kansas rePi-

him in, quickly filed i'm the earth and

comrade borne at their head. The dig

In his first annual report. Col. +. &.
Ainsworth, Chief of the Record and
Pension Bureau of the War Depart
ment, says that the index-record card
system, which has been instituted in
that bureau, has made it possible for a
small number of clerks to keep the
work up to date. Under the present
system 40 clerks are able to answer
1000 calls day, while under the old
system $50 clerks could only make an
average of $50 such reports per day.
Under the new system all that is
needed to make an exhaustive search
of mans entire military record
(which includes the hospital record he
may have. is the name of the soldier,
his company and regiment. If these
be given, lack of knowledge on the
part of the claimant, or his widow. de-
pendent parents or children, or the
willful Withholding of information by
the claimant of a record which might
disqualify him from receiving pen
sion, are unimportant matters to the
bureau.
Besides this, the system now in use
in this bureau, enables the history of
every soldier to be accurately given,
which in times past was an utter i'm
possibility, for the reason that the
hospital records, containing more than
10000, 600 entries, We're without an in
de7l, and the labor was too great to
permit careful search of the records.
A test OF the new system was made
which covered a period of ten years
prior to the use of the new system.
One hundred cases for each year were
taken at random, so as to fairly repre-
sent the whole ten years. They had
all been returned to the Pension office
without any record of hospital treat
ment or disability being found
These I, 900 cases were then re-exam-
ined by the index-record card system to
ascertain if they disclosed hospital
treatment, or disability, and evil
dence Of treatment in from one to u
dozen different hospitals in POS cases
out of the 900 examined was found.
Under the old system Col Ainsworth
thinks that at least one-third of the
claims We're returned without evidence,
many of the cases being those Of
widows and orphans, in which direct
and positive evidence of disability
would have been found under the
present system.
This system also prevents the use Of
the original records Of the bureau,
which are already in a deplorably
mutilated condition because Of frequent
handling by the clerks. The original
muster-rolls have been patched, many
of them copied and have been put in
the best condition possible under the
circumstances. The work of this
bureau is brought up to date each day
of the week and complaints are no
longer heard from other Departments
of the Government from this cause
