For a long time a tall, spare man,
past iife's meridian, kept a little tailor
ing shop on Third street in Walla
Walla where he eked out at best but
a ~precarious existence. He said but
little and walked quietly about as If to
shun acquaintances, or to hide himself
from the knowledge Of men. He moved
as ms who bore with pain life's burden
and longed to lay il down somewhere,
anywhere so that it was done and he
at peace. So, one day not long ago,
word came that the strange old man
was dead. He was found in 2 peaceful
sleep, with one hand over his quiet
heart. No one had seen him die. The
day before he told a young girl that
he was sick and would soon be past
the sleeping inc waking AS he had
no relatives there, and no one to speak
in his behalf, there vas an inquest, and
among his effects was an old, worn
but loving letter from a sister who
lived in a far off isle in the Southern
seas.
Two army discharges showed him to
have served under the fiery cross of
St. George, in India, at Malta and at
Gibraltar. and, as his life's histo " de-
veloped, it vas found that he had been
a soldier under the starry flag as well;
and the verdict was that he had been
an English soldier and was dead in a
foreign land. If he a been seeming
~ friendless while living, he was not
friendless now. when he was dead. For
when 1t was known that he had been
a soldier in the Union, the true-hearted
boys of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie asked no more. but silently gath
cred around him and tenderly lifted his
poor, worn body into the casket they
had provided. disposed his weary limbs
at length, folded his thin hands.
smoothed his hair as softly as his
mother did In the glad days of his
youth, and when they laid him down
to rest within the shadow of the beau
tiful mountains, two flags lay crossed
OF John ~Creighton's breast. One was
the flag Of England, and one had on it
forty-f0ur stars.

an army or ~marauding parties. Few
people know hat just above the en-
franc TO Tuxedo park, OF the east side
of the railroad track, are the ruins Of
the building in which thai chain was
made. They are known as the old
Augusta forge. The western gable and
the south wall are all that are stand
ing. 1t was never anything but a low
stone building, a few feet square, and
built by a country mason. It was
called a forge because there iron was
reduced from the ore by the old fash
toned charcoal method, and its coun-
terparts We're common all over the
country within the last half century.
1t was owned by the Sterling iron min
company, one of the largest iron man
ufactures of the day. Here was re-
duced the iron taken from the mine,
four miles west, and the links ham,
mered out by hand. When it became
apparent to the continental wal de-
partment that a chain was necessary
to prevent vessels going above the neu-
trail ground. Secretary Pickering con-
suited Mr.. Townsend, one of the iron
kings of the day and an owner of the
mine, nj shortly after General Put
nam gave an order for the chain. In
less than six weeks the links were de-
livered to the army engineer at New
Winsor. just west of Newburg, ready to
put together. The carting was one by
the neighporing farmers with their OK
teams. The inks were 2 feet long and
pa inches square, each weighing about
$50 pounds. When put together the
chain had a swivel at every hundred
feet. 1t was about 1900 feet long and
weighed $50 tons. 1t was buoyed up by
l6 foot logs. pointed at each end, so as
as possible. 1t was put in place in IT'S.
The part which is preserved was ished
up from the bottom of the river in 1855.
but the greater part was sold for old
iron to the West Point foundry, years
before.

Captain John Glenn. the drummer boy
Of Chickamauga. has been promoted to
the rank of major In the United States
army. Captain Clem's life story is in
teresting: He was born in Newark,
O.. Aug. 10. 1852. He was the third son
of Roman and Elizabeth Glenn, of Ger
man descent. He had FIVE brothers and
three sisters. All are dead now except
himself and one sister. His mother died
in 1860. aud shortly a%fterward his faith
er married again. Having a child's
prejudice against a ~stepmother. he ran
away from home when not quite min
years of age. and his family heard
nothing from him for over two years.
How he came to join a Michigan regi-
ment | never learned. but probably he
wanted 10 get among strangers, so he
would not be recognized and sent back
home. Being fond of music. he soon be-
came an excellent drummer. and he had
such winning ways that the men made
a pet of him wherever he went. There
have been different stories about his
shooting the rebel officer, but the fol-
lowing account Is as nearly correct as
/ can remember: after the battle the
troops were somewhat mixed up, some
of both sides having got beyond the
lines. Johnny did not rear the COM
mand to retreat, and finding himself
in a crowd where the men were taking
prisoners. thought he would AXE one.
He had picked up a revolver that had
been dropped by some officer. and step
ping up 70 a rebel general said: You
arr my prisoner The general swore
at him and threatened to kill him, hut
before he could make a movement
Johnny fired. tbs man fell from hic
horse. Johnny climbed into the sad
die and rode back to the Union lines
The story was confirmed by General
George II. Thomas, and at the close
OF the war he had Johnny sent to West
Point. He is now stationed at Atlanta.
