LAST RAID OF THE WAR.
Rebellion Within the Lines of Union
Regiment Against Paper Collars.


From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
Col J. G. Rathbone of Kansas in the late
war was in command of the old West Eir-
was kept on duty continuously in tho
mountain country comprehended by Roane,
Writ, Jackson and Richie counties, in
that state, and it was a hazardous, BUSH
whacking sort of warfare. that gave none
a chance to make record, but it was war
just the same, and much more risky than
fighting out in the open.
|. We hunted rebels Just as we did rabbits
and squirrels, and they hunted US the same
way. 1t was a war of assassination and
rapine. Sometimes 1 had 1000 men under
my command, and again they would draw
men away from me to adjacent commands
till would have only 500.
One of my companies lost permanently.
1t was a fine, rugged body of men. eighty
odd strong, every man a marksman, and
ers. They got farther and farther away,
until they got brigaded finally with a lot
of Jerseymen and New Workers in Sher-
mans army. They were in the Atlanta
campaign and in the march to the sea,
and they saw Joe johnson hand over his
sword. When the grand review came off
at Washington in 1865 they were there.
The order went out the night before
that every man in the great army should
be supplied with paper collar and pair
Of white cotton gloves for this last and
=
were only twenty-five of the eighty odd
left-the others had fallen in action. They
were commanded by their surviving second
lieutenant. The order for collars and
gloves went against the grain. It was
said that the lieutenant was the only man
in the outfit that had ever worn a billed
shirt Linseywoolsey store f1annels and
corduroy had been their accustomed body
wear. They rebelled to q man against the
paper collars and the woman's glove finery,
and the same nfght-about the blacklist
time before the day-the little band broke
camp and struck out toward Rockville on
the way across country to their mountain
homes in Clay, Roane and Kanawha coun-
ties.
The war was over, anyhow, they argued,
and why should they stay in camp and let
a lot of fool generals make them ridiculous;
by making them march with paper collars
on? They foraged they went, and for
the last time raided the poor country that
had been so often ravaged by the men of
Lee and Jackson, Mcclellan and Meade,
and Hooker and Burnside. This was as
heroic a progress as the famed retreat of
the 10000 in history, and the little band
got home safe and sound and in time to
plant corn. When the Blair disability pen
sion law was passed some of these old
veterans tried to get pensions, and then
they found out to their establishment that
they had been branded by little Jersey
brigadier as deserters. When Gen. Nathan
Golf was in Congress he tried to pass a
bill setting the men right. I never heard
how it turned out. I have been away from
that country now, located in Kansas with
my three sons, some eight years.

A Strange Duel.
From the Amusing Journal.

From the Amusing JOURNAL
An extraordinary duel has taken place
in Brussels between two young men. They
were enamored of the same young lady,
who, after considerable hesitation, made
her choice. The unsuccessful sutton chal-
lenged his rival to a duel and proposed
that each should be armed with a piece of
rope, and that they should thrash each
other as long as they could hold out. The
challenge was accepted. The fight, how
ever, had not been long in progress when
the police came up and stopped it. Both
"duelists were covered with blood. The
challenger had the worst of the encounter,
his face being a mass of bruises.

from their wives heads: English clowns,
