Tuscaloosa I discovered that a Johnny

Yankee Every night the same ration was
issued to us as to our guard, man for man,
but long before night next day my ration
would be eaten up and as hungry as a
bear"
| would then ask some guard 4 he had
any grub to spare and in every case he
would give me half or all he had left, re-
marking pleasantly: Il can get along till
night all right" 1t was not their fault
that we were not SO well treated in Ander-
sonville later on. My recollection of them
is that they were men incapable OF unkind-
ness and inhumanity.
At Tuscaloosa we took a reluctant fare
we'll of our kind guards and fell into other
hands. After a few days in the old Jail
here we were taken on the Black Warrior
River to Demopolis, thence by rail to Selma,
and then down the Alabama River on the
steamer JEFF Davis to Cahaba- After
about a week in this prison we were put
on the steamer Southern Coniederacy and
taken to Montgomery. thence by rail to
Andersonville, upon whose hospitality %
we entered May 2, 1861.
Here many of our number fell under the
cruel hand OF exposure, starvation, and
disease. The rest OF us were removed to

Troubles.

We do not always realize how much work
our kidneys are required to do. They are
the great filters of the body, separating the
poison and waste material from the blood.
They work day and night, whether we sleep
or are awake.
There is no disease more common and none
more dangerous to health and strength than
any arrangement of the kidneys.
A fact often overlooked is that women suf-
fer as much from kidney and bladder trouble
as men do.
1t is easy to tell if we have kidney trouble
by observing a few of the more common
symptoms
IT you find it difficult to hold your water.
or necessary to pass it frequently, or are
obliged to rise often during the night, your
kidneys are out Of order
As they reach a more unhealthy stage. a
scalding and irritation takes place as the
water flows, and pain or dull ache in the
back makes you miserable. If your water.
when allowed to remain undisturbed for
twenty-four hours, forms settling or sedi-
ment, you are on dangerous ground due to
most serious kidney or bladder disorder.
If neglected now, the disease advances

EXPLANATION OF PLAN OF BATTLE.

The ship with the shaded deck repre-
sents the Bon Homme Richard; the one
with the white deck the Scraps
The point of first fire between the two
was about six miles off Flamboro Head, "a
little north Of east from that promontory,
and about 10 or II miles southeast from
the town Of Scarboro.
The time was about 7 IS p. m. The wind
was west-northwest and light, the sea
smooth. and there was d full moon.
Both ships were on the same tack,
course almost due north which brought
them close hauled, the wind being forward
OF the beam. The Richard had the weather
gage. pronounced advantage in fighting
close hauled.
Position No. Pearson halls Jones and
the latter responds with bis b,oadside;
their distance apart being but little more
than a cables lengths say, go or $50 yards.
They then range along together for about
two and n half or three miles, b.oadsiding
rapidly, unit! about 8 30 p. m. they reach.
Pos ton No 2.-At this point Pearson,
finding his ship a smarter sailer, quicker
Richard, concluded that he could, by
crowdIng sail. forereach enough to huff
athwart Jones's hawser, rake him. then
shoot clear and come 10 on the other tack,
which would give him the weather-gag
Success in this manuyer would enable him
To choose his distance, and as he had dis
covered from the shot that came on board
that the Richard had only u Founders, he
desired little more distance in order TO
make the superior weight of his 18-pound
