One of the Few Surviving PrivHfes
Who WAS Introduced ns n Major.

(San Francisco Bullotin)
Among the countless number Of men
who have served in the civil war, and
now revel in military titles Of all de-
scription. il is refreshing TO meet with
man who will tell you that his name Is
"Nir.." and that he served from beginning
TO end Of the bloody campaign as a fuli-
blown private. OF that description is
John j. Scrivner the san Francisco at
torney.
When the war broke out Mr.. scrivner
enlisted in the Confederate service, and
went through the entire war. laying down
his arms at its close with the humble
rank Of private that was assigned TO him
on enlisting. He now enjoys the repu-
tation among his fellows of being the
only man that has not yet been discovered
I'm the State of California who served
throughout the war and yet possesses
no gorgeous appendage to his name. 1t
used TO be customary in the South. when
veteran met veteran, for some title TO
pass between the two.
Wen, Scrivner was opposed TO this prin-
ciple, and fortunate enough TO escape
involuntary dignity until one memorable
occasion, not long ago. whe he was con-

who said, Mr.. SO and So, this is Major
Scrivner.'
II felt mad: but had not time to repri-
mand my introducer, nor TO explain
matters. In an instant l found myself
shaking hands with the southerner, who
eyed me narrowly.

Major? he asked.
