"Bingo."

Once upon a time, many years ago.
when farming was in its primitive
state, there lived-history does not
reveal where-a one OK farmer, who
spent part of his time on his farm
and part of his time training dogs.
He had hounds, spauicls and others,
among which was miserable little,
extremely homoly pug nose, ugly,
scurvy ilea-ncst spitz dog, like which
some of our sisters pat and pet and
call all manner Of endearing names
and love more than they do anything
else. The dog bore the euphonious
name of "Bingo,' whose only re-
deoming quality was his deep seated
need of sympathy, and his utter for
lornity. In course of time this little
homcly "yeller" eur died.
This would. doubtlessly have been
the end of this story had he died
like other dogs do but when he
was about stretching himself out,
he looked into his masters face with
Il sort of "you-can-abuse-me-no-
longer-for-I'm going soon-but I-for-
give-thc-past. but-trcat-the o t h r
dogs.kind-fo -for-my-sake' expression,
which caused the farmer some re-
gret and he erected shingle mon
umeut over the heal Of Biugo, with
this simple simple by the way
inscription Here lies dear little
Bingo. Died of neglect"
There is an old saying that "eyory
dog has his day Il was so with
Bingo he had his-and like II story,

poetry to that already written.
Here are the words translated

The Doings OF Absent-Minded Folk.
IHarper's Young Peopte.l


1t is not pleasant to be absent m inded but
incidents in tho lives Of absent minded people
give rise to great deal of laughter in this
world. OF course no one believes that there is
any truth in the story of the absent-minded
man who put his clothes to bed, and hung him
self carefully over the back of his chair; nor
have we found anybody yet who had any con-
fdence in the story of the absent minded small
boy who went fishing, and anchored the boat
with his fish hook, and abandoned his sport
because he could not find worm large enough
TO bait the anchor with.
These st0ries however true they may be-
seem slightly exaggerated. but there are others
quite as interesting, and more faithful to facts
For instance, there is the story of man who
arranged to give an elaborate dinner to a num-
erous and distinguished company. The ap-
pointed evening arrived; the collation., an ele-
CANT one, was ready to be served, but the guests
came not. Half an hour passed. and still thcy
did not come, and the host became really un-
easy. When the delay had grown to an hour,
and not man of them had shown up, his feel
ings were indescribable. And who can picture
his agony of spirits when, on returning to his
room, he CHANGED to pull open a drawer, and
therein found the whole bundle of invitations
which he had forgotten to send out!
And what an absent-mnded young man that
must have been who, while being married, re-
piled to the ministers question IL he was will
ing TO take the young lady for his welded wife,
by scratching his head, and saying, Yes, Pm
willing; but I'd much rather have her sister,"

FIRST SOLDIERS HOME.
"The Hub" the CITY in which 1t Was Bull

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Comrade
FL. Nj. Coburn's report OF Soldiers Homes,
State and National, was very encouraging 10
the old warriors, who are growing gray and
feeble, and many more are dropping off by
the wayside.
Comrade Coburn seems to think that the
State of New Jersey was the first to insti-
tute and furnish State Soldiers Home and
gives the year 1866. / think ! am not in
error when / say that the first Soldiers
Home was built in Boston, Mass, in 1864.
The Rev. Phineas Stowe, of the Mariners
Church, in Boston, had for a number Of
years been known as the strangers friend,
and when spoken of by anybody was called
Father Stowe Mr.. Stowe was a very
warm-hearted man. He had established
headquarters for strangers in Commercial
street, in Boston, which was called the
Mariners Exchange. In the latter part OF
1862 many soldiers and sailors returned from
the war, wounded or disabled in some way,
| many of whom were foreigners, or others
far away from home.
Mr.. Stowe became anxious that they
should be cared for. he went 10 see Mr..

and other officers of high rank. Two such
instances occur to me, showing in one OF
them how a valuable and useful life was
lost by General unnecessarily discharging
a duty which staff officer could have done
better and more appropriately.
On the morning of the 10Th of September,
1862, the First Division of the Twelfth
Corps WAS massed in column by division on
the western slope Of the high ground just
west of Keedysyille, Md, while Gen. Sum-
Der's tSecond) Corps, with its artillery, on the
opposite hill, was commanding Gen. Long
streets position on the ground now occupied
by the National Cemetery at Antietam.
The troops of the Twelfth Corps remained
in that position throughout the 10th of Sep
tember, under the fire of Longstreets guns,
the shells from which passed over Summers
lines, and quite a number of our men were
killed and wounded by the explosions of
these shells of the enemy.
Upon coming upon the ground from the
Sundays fighting at South Mountain, our
rifles were empty. Gen. Mansfield had
Joined the Twelfth Corps only the day be-
FORE and, as have always understood it,
had never handled even brigade Of troops
in the field prior TO his being assigned to
command an army corps.
About 10 o'clock he rode down to our line,
his long white hair streaming beneath his
broad-brimmed hat, and inquired for The
Colonel Of cur regiment the 125ih Pa.
Upon their meeting, the General inquired ::
"Are your muskets loaded?"
Col. Higgins replied: No, General
Then came the personal order:
Colonel, have your men load at will.n
Most of the men heard the order; and,
green as they were as soldiers, thought il an
extraordinary thing for corps commander
to busy himself with such petty details of
his large command of about $4,000 men,
The next day iihe 17th) on the battlefield
he did still more imprudent thing. The
brigade had reached point close TO the
Hagerstown turnpike, with the left almost
touching the banker Church. The brigade
was within 80 yards of the turnpike ready

John M. s. Williams, who, like Mr. Stowe,
had large heart, and with plenty of money
and influence these two united in the idea
of raising money enough TO provide home
for the frieDdless soldiers and sal ors. The
idea was good one, and was crowned with
success on every hand. The first Soldiers
Home was built in the South End, in the city
of Boston, in 1S62-'63 At that time it was
only Boston Soldiers Home, though open
to all.
Thus we had in Boston, in the year 1864,
Home for the soldiers, an exchange and
headquarters for the seamen land next Mr.
Stowe formed what is known as the Little
Wanderers Home. Mr.. Stowe died in 1868.

| What the Generals Son Has to Say Regard
ing His Death.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the
issue of Nov. 9, / notice an article by h. l.
Lee, 41st Ill. He says he wishes to make
correction of former article by Comrade
Thomas Murphy on Shiloh, rs regards the
death Of Albert S. Johnston. Comrade Lee
is also mistaken. The son, Col. William
Preston Johnston, writes in his article IN
Battles and Leaders of the Civil War;"
that Gen. Johnston was with the right of
Statham's Brigade, confronting the left of
Hurlbuts Division, which was behind the
crest of hill with depression filled with
chaparral in it's front; that BOwen's Brigade
was farther to the right, in line with
Stathams, touching it near this point; that,
as Beauregard was encouraging them (the
men of these two brigades), Johnston rode
down in front of the line, speaking to the
men; that his words were, Men, they are
stubborn; we must use the bayonet."
When Johnston reached the center of the
line he turned. "I will lead you!" he
cried, and moved toward the enemy. This
was the charge in which it is stated he was
killed.
But after this charge the writer says Gen.
Johnston gave orders which were carried to

was afierward confirmed by an act of Con-
gress, July 90 1861, and reorganized, July

s. Lowell was at one time L'euteDant-Colo-

held by Henry W. VESSELS who received
the brevet of Brigadier-i1eneral, March Is,
1865. The regiment participated in the
battles of Corin,h, Murfreesboro, HOovers
Gap, Chickamanga, Mission Ridge, Resaca,
New Hope Church, Kenesaw Mountain, Neal
Dow Station, Peach Tree Creek, Utoy Creek,
Atlanta, and JOnesboro. The regiment was
a part Of Kings Brigade, Rousseaa's Di-
vision, of the Fourteenth Corps, and dnring
it's service sustained the heaviest loss in
action of any regiment in the Regular Army.
The 1st battalion lost So men in killed
or mortally wounded; the I'd Battalion,
81 men; and the Sd battalion, AZ; or
total of 21S men killed. The total number
Of killed and wounded (Omitting slight
wounds) was S54; captured and missing,
206; died of disease, 1879; died in rebel
prisons, not previously included, 53. This
record eminently places it among Col. Fox's
800 fighting regiments. The organization
was to have contained three battalions OF
eight companies each; but the Sd bat
TALON was never fully organized, and its
companies were attached to other battaliOns.
At Stone River, where the regiment encoun-
tered its hardest fighting. the 1st battalion.
with two companies OF the Sd, was COM
msnded by Mai. J. N. Caldwell, and the
ID battalion. with four companies OF the
Sd, by Maj. Frederick Townsend. Ex-
actly SOB officers and men entered the
battle, and Of this number, 102 men were
killed or mortally wounded, in addition to
the other large number of wounded, which
made the loss equal AZ per cent. Of the
fighting force.

How One Competent General Lost His Life
Through Carelessness.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Much has
been said since the war respecting the lack
of tact and good military judgment on the
part of minor officers and enlisted men in
the Union army.
The private soldier very frequently had
the opportunity to observe the blunders,
some OF them serious mistakes, of general
