the scene Of sorrow and utter desolation
which reigned among us who were LETT IN
that gloomy prison.
TERRIBLE HOURS
That afternoon and evening will never be
forgotten by those of us who were confined
within those hated walls. We were bowed
with grief too oppressive for words. Zach
one bore the bitterness of those hours in
close communion with himself. No pen
can describe the anguish of those moments
All jOviality was at an end-no word of
consolation was uttered-not CLEAN OF
hope seemed to illumne those dark and ter
rible hours, as they dragged so slowly along.
How long that dark pail of gloom sur
rounded us, with a silence that was terrible,
L know not. Someone, at last, suggested
prayer, and every member of our remaining
little band bowed in compliance with that
suggestion.
That prayer meeting was one of the most
solemn and impressive ever witnessed. LII
was led by Capt. David Fry, an East Ten
nesseean, who had been brought with the
II of our party from the court-martlal
at Knox vile, and after our seven comrades
had been led out to execution, he was placed
in The room with us. For some time those
devotional exercises were continued, and
this good, brave and loyal man proved him
self no less worthy as a spiritual adviser
than he was trusty leader against the
schemes of rebel foes.
Capt Fry, who ever after stood by us
with such fortitude that we all learned to
love him, belonged to Union regiment In
East Tennessee, and was held as spy and
bridge-burner-a charge very similar to
that brought against us-altLough was

They Appear Before the Public.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In the pres
enr day we discover two classes of public men,
who, though now of an age which proves that
they might have participated in the great strug-
gle that shook the country to its foundations in
the early sixties, appear from the record to have
taken active part on either side.
One class neglect no opportunity to air their
devotion to the soldiers and sailors-to praise
their deeds, prowess and patriotism sacrifices
and sufferings; to eutogize the dead and i'm
press upon the community its obligation to
bind up the wounds aud soften the priyations
of the survivors.
No living soldier can listen to their glowing
descriptions of the brave deeds of his comrades
without acquiring an enhanced opinion of him-
self. Had these orators but been as martial as
they are eloquent, what soldiers they would
have made! But it is not everyone who can
be Blair or q Logan.
We can but feel kindly towards them, how
ever. Without them. who would have taken
note of US? They have given voice To praises
we never could have sung; for nature frames
but few men to be both brave and eloquent
and no brave man to be eloquent in his own
praise.
Though regretting the loss Of their arms on
the field we cannot forget the inestimable help
they have given US at home. Without their
kindly tribute would never have realized
our own greatness.
But there is another class Of public men.

No merit can they discover in patriotism.

SIS Nursing
DOkIIN for IS cents.

The "Best Nurser" is worth
1925 to any mother-we think
more. Why? Because it will
prevent wind-colic, collapsed nip
pie, cross baby.
The plan of this bottle is simple,
yet scientific. In the bottom of
the bottle is a valve. AS fast as
the milk is drawn the valve
allows the air to enter, this pre-
vents the child from sucking in
wind because the air comes in back
OF the food, not through the
nipple, which causes so much
Wind-colic.
If there were only few "Best
Nursers" they would be worth
ss25 each, but we will give you
all you want for 25 cents apiece,
complete with nipple and valve.
