Grants Council of War.

'In one respect Grant" said Colonel
McFall of st. Louis, who served with
him before Vicksburg, was source of
great worriment to the commanding Of
ficers taking part in his councils of
war. This came from his reticence dur
ing the councils and his prompt indi-
vidual action afterward. Grant would
sit and listen to all the others had to
say, smoking his cigar and occasionally
taking drink as this hospitable re-
freshment might be passed around.
Then, when the talk was all over and
everyone had expressed his opinion as
to what should be done. Grant would
leave the tent and go to Rawlins, his
chief of staff, and begin issuing orders.
No one knew to what decision he had
arrived, and they would have no idea
what the next movement was to be I'M
til their orders were received. Espe-
cially to General John A. Logan, who
commanded the division of which my
regiment was part after Mcpherson
was killed, was this trait of Grants a
trial.
oh it all!' Logan would say in his
impetuous way, ''if Grant would only
give us some idea Of what he was think
ing about! But no, he just listens with
out a word, and then, when we've told
all we know and think, off he goes to
Rawlins, and that's the last we see or
hear of him until his orders for the
next movement come to us!'

THE LETTER III Is POPULAR.
1t Occurs as an Initial I'm Very Many
Cases.


Its a peculiar thing" said the
knowing clerk in hotel which is not
ed more for it's hospitality than it is
for it's inqusitiveness into the charac-
ter of it's guests. Its peculiar thing
the fondness that the average man
has for the letter III as an initial. Now
l don't suppose that there are more
middle names beginning with III than
with any other letter. NJ or r or s or
Il, but nine men out of ten, IL they
are in doubt about a middle initial,
decide on III. Now my middle initial
is w, but for every letter l get except
from people l know well, that has my
initial right l get three in which it is
put down III. It's very seldom, too
that you'll find man, with sufficient
strength of character to leave out the
middle initial of the man he's writing
to, so he claps in the III and let's it
go. There seems to be n prevailing
superstition that n man isn't just
what he ought to be unless he has a
middle name, and that the chances are
very strong that the name begins with
the eighth letter in the alphabet.
"Now here's another instance. Cast
your eyes over this page of our regis
ter. That is mostly late guests wSo
drop in late ut night and sign names
other than their own. See the result:
Charles III. Jones' John Ii. Smith,
George ii. Robinson, "A III. Brown
H. w. Brown and so on. There are
ten names on that one page the middle
initial of which is III. Now that let
ter isn't any easier to write than any
other letter; it certainly isn't any more
ornamental and l cant see that in
any respect 1t has the advantage over
the rest Of the alphabet. Yet the hui
man race stick to it with a fidelity
worthy of more important cause.

me why."-New York Sun.

Befriending an Enemy.

If thine enemy hunger, feed him: Ii
he thirst, give him drink" is a text
which found many fulfillment during
our late war-on both sides. The fol-
lowing example is quoted from the
History of the 106th Pennsylvania
Regiment" and the occurrence took
place after the battle of Fair Oaks.
Such "reminiscences can do nothing but
good.
During the day Adjutant Pleis asked
Captain Ford to take walk with him
over the field. They had not gone far,
however, before the adjutant said:
II cannot stand this; 1t makes me
sick to see such terrible sights"
The dead lay piled on top of each
other just as they had fallen, all man
gled and torn, while the groans of the
wounded and dying were agonizing to
hear.
So the adjutant turned back, but the
captain kept on, and soon came to An
old man sitting up against tree, while
across his lap lay yong lad, whose
fine features, pale face and light, wav.
ing hair would readily have been taken
for young girls.
Addressing the old man the captain
inquired his regiment.
Hampton Legion" he replied.
Being asked where he was wounded,
he unbuttoned his coat and displayed
an ugly wound in his right arm.
The captain asked the lad what regi-
ment he belonged to, and he replied
Hampton Legion"
''Then you know each other?"
Eyes, he's my boy" said the old man
"he fell, badly wounded in the leg, and
| came to help him and was hit myself.
| have tied his wound up as well as
can, but we have both lost so much
blood that I'm afraid We can't stand II
much longer"
lie then told how he had dragged
his boy to the tree, taken off his own
shirt and torn it into strips, tied up
the wound as we'll as he could, and
then had sat down, with the boys head
in his lap, waiting to be taken to the
hospital.
The captain explained that we had
our own wounded to look after first,
and that as soon as possible he would
receive attention.
He then made his way back TO the
hospital and related the circumstance
to our surgeon, who gave him a stimu-
liant to take to them. Thence he went
to the pump; but here guard was
placed TO prevent any but surgeons and
nurses from taking water. At first
they would not let Captain Ford have
any, but he said:
II want this for a Confederate; for a
father and son lying out in the woods.

song and speech,
All mingle with the rhythmic beat of
waves upon the beach,
AND resounding through the valley, in
echo loud and long,
You hear the hills call back again tie
last words Of the song,
And comes solemn moment, while
each heart bends to the spell,
AS further in the distance sounds "My
own true love, FAREWELL
1t is only for moment-the hearts are
glad and young
The spirit of the mountain speaks in no
familiar tongue.
And each face within the circle reflects
a merry smile,
Some watch the flames in silence as the
banjo's tuned the while;
some messages are whispered, some
answering glances read,
The pine trees shed their fragrance as
they waver overhead,
Then shouts of joyous laughter make
the limbs to shake and toss,
AS the stately mountains echo There's
one wider ribber to cross
A sweet song, one pathetic, and the for
est seems to be
Attuned to all its feeling and alive with
sympathy.
The boughs in time are nodding. and
the bright flames slowly die,
While the wind from DER the noun
tains seems passing with a sigh,
There is pathos in our voices, there are
tears within our eyes,
A flood of secret longings in our hearts
unbidden rise.
Loves and hopes that are unknown
these the unseen forms repeat,
AS they echo from their caverns Mar
acknowledgement
Then the winds forget their signing
and the flames start up again,
AS dozen hearty voices join in some
farewell refrain,
AS the boats are quickly laden and the
oars push out from shore
The forest with its magic seeks to lure
us back once more.
The sky above is darker than the shell
ter of the trees,
While the fire is very tempting in the
chilly eyening breeze,
And to catch the mountain echo we
linger on our oar,
The answer is mockery-"Well leave
thee never more"
-Fiavel Scott Mines.
