A Dog Fight During y Battle.
81 had dog that followed me all
through the war, and was of great ser
vice TO me" said Capt. Fred Smith,
member of the Old Veterans Club, that
was holding a session in the rotunda
Of the Lindell. she was just a com
mon, 'ornery' looking 'yaller' dog, but
be had the heart of woman and the
courage OF lion. enlisted ut Mat
toon, and he followed me there.
sent him back home, but he wouldn't
stay. The captain took a liking to
Zip and when we were ordered
South he went along. Zip participated
in several of the big battles of the war,
and in any number of skirmishes.
He would take up his position near
our battery of field pieces and bark
defiance at the enemies of his country.
Al Shiloh shell exploded within ten
feet of Zip and cut off three inches Of
his bushy tail. That angered him and
he advanced on the enemy barking
furiously. The lines were about 500
yards apart, and shot and shell were
flying thick as hail Zip ran forward
fully 800 yards and gave the Johnnies
to distinctly understand that he
allowed no tampsring with his tail.
The Confederate battery also had a
dog, big black mastiff, and he came
ont to see about it. They didn't waste
any time sparring for an opening, but
took hold in dead earnest. The john
mics stopped shooting and began to
cheer their dog. We did the same. For
fun ten minutes those two batteries
stood silent while the gunners
watched the contest OF the canine
knights, who fought as though the
fate Of nations depended ON them.
Sick him, Tigel Give it to tine Yankee

as he hurried back and trained a gun
on the Confederate group. That set
both batteries TO roaring again, and
beneath the food of iron those dogs
fought on l arm sorry to say that Zip
got the worst OF it He was outclassed,
and though he put up as game u fight
as ever dog did, he was sent to his
corner loser. How the Confeds did
yell and boot and howl! But we had
our revenge. We soaked six pound
shell into their dog and blew him into
sausage meat.-St. Louis Globe Demo-

''Thirtyyear ago to-day the battle Of
Fredericksburg was fought, - remarked
Secretary Tindall the other day.
'It was just such day as this, too,
only the rain was not falling. 1t was
2 cloudy, murky. moist day. l never
think of the battle but recall Sergt.
Higgins, of our regiment, the First
Delaware. He was a brave fellow,
but had a presentiment that he would
be shot in the stomach. He was
always nervous on going into battle,
but I saw him stand on the field for
ten minutes one day and let a thou
sand Rebs shoot at him. just before
the battle of Fredericksburg he had
that same dread Of being shot in the
stomach which had followed him
through the war. He borro wed silk
dress some of the boys had captured
on forage, borrowed suit
of clothes, and put dress
clothes. and his blanket. all over his
stomach. He looked like the fat man
in farce comedy. The battle had not
begun IN earnest, but the shells from
the Confederate guns were falling all
around and among us. Our line was
steadily moving forward. / noticed
Higgins getting more nervous We
marched on. The shells fell thicker
and faster. Every now and then some
of the boys were downed and their
manRled remains born to the rear.
Higgins grew more nervous We
marched on. Bang went shell right
over our heads. A piece passed through
Higgins stomach fertilization, cutting
it like knife, but only grazing the
skin His stomach had escaped His
foot was torn to pieces. We carried
him TO the rear. He was afterward
brought to Washington and died in the
hospital Of lockjaw."

The plan Of placing army officers in,
stead Of civilians in charge OF Indian
agencies has proved a success and salts
factory to the Indians and TO their
guardians ut Washington. but il APP
pears 70 be quite the contrary with
some of the army officers who have
been assigned 20 duty rs Indian
sgents. OF course IL they are regularly
detailed TO that duty they must serve
or throw up their commissions. That
it is regarded as an undesirable de
tail is shown by the fact that two
officers recently assigned by the Presi-
dent to such duty are doing all they can
to secure a revocation of the orders.
These are Capt Charles Porter, Eighth
Infantry, detailed as Indian agent at
La Pointe, Wis, and First Lieut.. l.. A.
Low ring. Fourth Infantry. detailed to
the Sisseton and Wahpeton agency in
South Dakota. They will both prob
ably be successful in their efforts and
other officers sent in their stead. 1t is
understood that the chief objection 10
such duty by army officers is that it is
outside of the line of their regular
military duties. and that they are
hampered in their action by divided
responsibility to the War and Interior
Departments. to say nothing of the
minor harassments from contractors
and the Indians themselves. Am
