A RAW RECRUIT.
by WILL NJ. CLEMENS.

Copyright. 1897, by Will NJ. Clemens
In Sergeant Nortons picket squad

Oberholtz was his name, and he looked
,it Most young Germans are brave in
the face Of danger, and John Oberholtz
was one Of the majority.
The night was as uncertain in wealth

along his picket line the cottonwood

Der night, this June evening, 1864, in
the country round about Spottsylvania
Court House.
Sergeant Norton stopped short in his
lone march and put his hand to his ear.
A strange noise came from ravine not
far awny where John Oberholtz was on
duty. Less than two miles to the south
were the Confederate lines, and the
young sergeant was fearful lest the gray
sharpshooters would reduce the number
of his picket squad. He ran toward tho
rayine as fast as the darkness would
permit him and came rather unexpect-
edly upon the young German standing
motioDless upon knoll, his gun point
ed at some bushes few feet distant
The hand Of Oberholtz was upon the
trigger of his gun, and his usually red
face was ashen white. He was in the
act of firing when the sergeant called
him.
"Oberholtz, what is the troublef"
questioned Norton sternly.
Der vas a rebel in der bushes, " cried
the German, his voice trembling with
excitement

One Of General Grants greatest vic
tories was not won in war, but in times
of profound pence. On April 90, 1874,
he vetoed an imitation bill which had
passed both houses of congress, by de-
cided majorities. and back of which
were many eminent Republican poll
ticians who imagined that they saw
sure defeat ahead for their party unless
they made concessions to those clamor-
ing for more money" The pressure
for the bill was not all political. Many
timid business men urged the president
to sign the bill in order to '..stop agita-
ton. In this trying situation President
Grant showed patriotism wholly above
par tisanship and clear conception of
sound financial principles, unobscured
by shortsighted notions of immediate
business expediency.
He vetoed the bill because in theory
1t would produce imitation. 1.-THE theo-
ry," he declared, Sin my belief is de-

finance, national interest, national obli-
cations to creditors, congressional prom

and promises made by me in every an
nual message sent to congress and in
each inaugural address"
So far from being a settlement"
the bill invited agitation. 'Should

circulation expected Of it, the friends

principle in these pregnant words, ~

cd Of making paper money equal to
coin when the coin is not owned or
held ready to redeem the promises to
pay, for paper money is nothing more
than promise to pay and is valuable ex-
actly in proportion to the amount of

and acts should inspire those engaged in
the present struggle.

Itwould be unbecoming to enlarge ON
the subject Of Memorial day without
paying some introductory tribute to its
founder. Very few indeed attribute the
beautiful national custom of decorating
the graves of the heroes of the civil war

soldier in the war herself, for she
followed it from it's beginning to its
close nursed the wounded soldiers and
perfected the hospital service in General
Sherman's army, and, in fact, watched
over the Union soldiers like q mother
Two short incidents display moro Of
Mrs. Kimball's character than pages Of
eulogy:
"A boy was sentenced to be shot His
mother sat ON the steps of the capitol in
Washington. She remained there dis
tracted with grief for three days and
nights-trying in vain to see President
Lincoln. A lady, beautiful and of low
ing disposition, passing in front of the
capitol, paused to learn the pitiful story,
and then, with the determination of that
viking race from which she sprang,
sought and pleaded the poor mothers
cause with the president himself. Lin
coin hearkenod to her eloquence, and
turning his sad eyes ON her said: Take
this card to Stanton and save the boy
and mother. 1t is relief TO have you
tell me how you would manage the af-
fairs Of state. >"
1.-THE battle of Winchester was over,
the condition Of General Molineux's
command demoralized, so as to bring
ON this officer in the presence Of his
men a sharp reproof from Sheridan. A
lady, beautiful and of loving disposition,
had nursed General Molinoux after he
had been wounded in previous battle
In the performance of a brave duty. She
addressed General Sheridan thus: You
have done a great wrong to a bravo
man. The hero of Winchester replied,
Madam, il have done so, / will apol-
ogize to him before his soldiers. And
he supplemented this act of gallantry
by recommending General Molineux for
a major .generalship.
The lady was Mrs. Kimball. 1t was
while she was travelling in the south
that sho noticed how assiduously the
southern women garlanded the graves
of those who had died in the cause Of
the Confederacy. She thought Of the

speech, this brigadier. and when Nor

side and looked critically at the girl and
then at the sergeant. Then he seized pen
and paper and wrote a few lines hur-
riedly.
Here, orderlyr he shouted in his
gruff voice "Take this to the commits

Turning to Norton, he added: "Ser-
geant, follow the orderly Put the pro-
visions in wagon. Load her up with
crackers and coffee and sugar and such
stuff. "

tent with the young woman at his side

"And, sergeant, take file of men and

In the course of an hour a wagon
creaking under its heavy load passed
down the ravine where Oberholtz paced
to and fro with his gun, and six soldiers
marched upon either side of the wagon.
Norton and his companion, the daugh-

and the wagon returned, two hours later.
