long resided in Harrison county, Ind,
where the couple had also spent great
part of their lives. When Judge Gresham

about anyone, who wishes to see the great

to do so. He is easily approached, and
frequently strolls along the street in an
easy manner, stopping on the co rner to
chat with friend in the most unaffected
manner. Judge Gresham's service as
potmaster general in President Arthur's

What regiment is that?"
1.-The First Minnesota
charge those linesl''
A charge into eternity that order
meant. At double quick, without dis
charging a gin, with the concentrated
fire of the Confederate army pouring q
leaden rain of death upon them-at
double quick, then at full speed, they
charged into the enemy's advancing
ranks. General Hancock saw that a
five minutes respite meant the arrival
Of reinforcements and a turning of a
tide of battle. He sacrificed this noble
regiment in those fearful five minutes
and the position was held. The charge
saved the day, but 81 per cent. of the
men who made the charge were left
on the field. Nearly every officer was
dead or mortally wounded. OF the 262
men who made the charge 215 were
shot down by the bullets of the enemy
-forty-seven were still in line. Judge
Lochren. Of Minneapolis, now commits
sloner of pensions, in his description of
the charge of which he was one of the
very few survivors, says:
"The annals of war contain no par
|allel to this charge. In it's desperate
valor complete execution, successful
result, and its sacrifice of men in pro-
portion to the number engaged, au-
thentic history has no record with
which it can be compared
