GENERAL JOHNSTON HAGOOD,
columbia, South Carolina.
"General:-IfI am correctly informed,
you are the Confederate officer who shot
me in the right breast, in the battle of
Yellow Tavern. The wound was infiict-
ed to recover from me q regimental flag
which had been surrendered to me by
one of your cOlOr-bearers. l had appar-
emily recovered entirely from it, but it
has troubled me for some time, and
now find MYSELF obliged to apply for a
pension.
''As I was within your lines, and out
of sight of my comrades, when I was
shot, I am obliged to request that YOU
will aid me to prove that I received the
wound in the line OF my duty.
You would do me q great favor if YOU
will make affidavit stating the facts, and
forward it to me. Please state also that
you have no interest in my claim.
Il am, General, yours respectfully,
JAMES BAILEY,
Late Captain 18th Iowa Volunteer In
fantry."
1 am unable to state the entire
contents of the affidavit, but noted
this paragraph:
Captain Bailey received the wound
described while in the faithful DISCHARGE
of his duty as a soldier.
His act was the bravest that l have
ever known or read of in military an
nails. Nor was it an act of mere incon-
siderate rashness, for, in my deliberate
alignment, had | not interposed as | did.
my entire brigade of veterans might have
surrendered to his single arm
L. Il Il.
Governor Hagood extended to Cap
tain Bailey a most cordial invita-
ton to visit South Carolina as his
guest.
He assured him ola most sincere
welcome, and that he would be re-
ceived by an escort of many thou
sands OF exconfederate veterans, all
now heartily loyal to the United
States. He stated, further, that the
flag with which Captain Bailey's
wound was so honorably associated
was still preserved, not as a hostile
symbol, but as souvenir of COM
radeship, and that he would be
pleased to place it in his hands. and
have him view it in the midst of
friendly surroundings.

dierly reply, expressing his grateful
apprecia ton of the invitation so
cordially extended to him to visit
South Carolina as the guest of the
governor.
He expressed his sincere regret,
however, that the state of his health
would not permit him to make the
journey at that time, and stated that
he hoped to do so at some future
day, as it would afford him the high
est gratihca alton to meet as friends,
in the walks of peace, the brave men
whom he had met as foes in war.
Had the good Whittier, that true
American poet, who ministered alike
at the high altar of patrio tism and
humanity, known of Captain Bal
ley's chivalric deed, he would surely
have celebrated it worthily in
thrilling poem. 1t would have con-
frmed the truth of his line penned in
a tribute to another knightlv Amer
lean:
said I not that Bayards and sidneys still
are here?"

A Winter in Florida.

To many the prospect of an escape
fro n this climate during the cold winter
months is hailed with delight, on ac-
count Of their health, others with means
and leisure go for pleasure. A promi.

flying trip to Jacksonville, Fla, is en-
thusiastic over the comforts and con
veniences for travel now to be had.
Says he: II left Minneapolis at 7:2O p.

buled sleeper on the Minneapolis & st..
Louis road, and with smooth road bed,
elegant dining car service and
quick time, enjoyed every moment Of the

OF ARMY LIFE.
How Newly Acquired Rank Was Used to
Avenge Petty Insult.

How Newly Acquired Rank Was Used to
Avenge . Petty Insult.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
officers of the American army are the
very pink of courtesy, they sometimes,
in post and garrison life, have very UNI
pleasant social experiences, says the
Outlook. An officer in a garrison is as
signed quarters, not according to the
necessities of his family, but in ac-
cordance with his rank. 1t therefore
comes about quite frequently, when
new officer is sent to post. that there
are many changes of quarters so as to
make room for him. When new ma
ior arrives, for instance, he selects the
quarters that suit him best, it matters
not who occupies them, provided the
occupant is below him in rank. He
can turn out major lower on the list
or any captain Or lieutenant, and each
of these when dispossessed can choose
for himself what quarters suit him best
if occupied by an inferior in rank. One
move, therefore, may make dozen
others. The women of the army. it is
said, are greater sticklers for these
rights than the men. But the men
themselves while preserving all the
forms of highest courtesy, sometimes
push their authority to it's fullest
limits, For instance, at two-com-
pany post in the west some years ago,
a captain of infantry was in command,
as his commission was of older date
than that of the captain Of cavalry also
there. These two captains were
mutually antipathic. In their official
intercourse all the forms were OBJ
served, but still it was plain to all that
they cordially disliked each other. One
day the senior captain ordered the
junior to take a file of men to the
forest and cut the frewood needed for
the winter! This duty ordinarily
would have been given to sergeant or
corporal. The cavalry captain had no
recourse and was obliged to obey
Just as he got outside the post the
mail, which came only now and then at
intervals of a week or SO, arrived, and
the cavalrym stopped for his letters.
One of these brought him his commits
sion as major. He at once issued an
order taking command Of the post, and
another order assigning the wood-chop-
ping duty to the late commandant.

eEGGARY AND SUPERSTITION.

Mendicants Profit by the Belief That Civ
ing Brings Good Luck.
Begging is a regular trade in many
parts of the world. Some who practice
it may almost be said to make it an art,
or a profession. A good mendicant,
like good salesman, studies his Gus
toners, discovers their weak points,, if
he can, and trades upon them. A
French writer, who has given much at
tention to the subject, describes at
length the methods by which such peo-
ple-who get their living by paup err
culture"-play upon the superstitions
of their victims.
There is a common notion that giving
sims brings good fortune.

huthor, ION the days of examination
for the bachelors degree. See the col
legians, each with his dictionary under
bis arm, on his way to make the ia
nous Latin version, on the success Of
which all his future depends. A cloud
of beggars settles down upon them.
"'A sou, monsieur, a morsel of bread.
It will bring you happiness
''The candidate hurries on.
"'You will be black alled, monsieur
the beggar continues.
''The sinister prediction always takes
effect; the collegian pulls out his purse.
and the beggar turns away chuckling."
The same thing is seen at the Hotel
de Vile on the days of examination for
q certificate of ability for teaching;
and when there are no examinations
going on, there may be races; and
thither go the beggars; for gamesters
ind sporting men are famous for their
superstitiousness.

LoNG-D!sTANCE TALKING.

How 1t Is Practiced by Mountain Guides
In Albania.
The people of Albania are said to
practice long-distance talking without
the help of The electric current. In
their mountainous country they pass
along the word from summit to summit
by the unaided strength Of their lungs.
Regular relays are said to be estab-
ished for receiving and dispatching
news. This is patterned after the use
of couriers in more level countries. The
author of 1.-THE Cruise of the r. Y. S.
Eva" speaks Of this habit Of the Alba
mans as a national popularity.
They cannot say their say when they
are near each other, but must always
wait till they get to the top of two
hills to begin to talk. You march along
after your Albanian guide and meet
another; they may perhaps kiss, clasp
hands, mutter a few words and pass
on, or, not unlikely, they pass without
the slightest notice. On you go and
forget that you met anybody, when
suddenly, Oh arriving at the top of a
hill, your guide turns round and sings
out: so Georgia, Georgio-o-o-o!''or
whatever his name may be-. spinning
out the last syllable to great length.
The echo has hardly died away be-
fore you hear the answer. Talk has be-
gun, and you,had better sit down, unless
you do not mind proceeding alone, for
move they will not until their say is
over, and you may have to exercise your
patience for half an hour.
There is no question that this long
talking propensity is. a great bore, not
only for the loss of time it occasions,
but because the noise is enough to dis
turb every head of game in the coun-
try.
