HE GAVE THE COWARD COURAGE.
General Chafree's Way of Handling
a Scared Recruit.
New York Sun

It was at the canteen that the follow
ing story was told by a regular, stretched
luxuriously on the grass in the midst OF
m-bedecked schooners:
Talk about your generals, Chaffee's the
old boy for my money. found out what
he was at FL Caney. My company was at
work digging trenches and while we were
finishing up one the spaniards began to
fire, and the bullets sang their little tunes
pretty nigh to our heads. Well. there was
q kid in the company that couldn't have
been over is. Never ought 70 have let him
enlist at all. He was always complaining
and kicking, and at the first fire down he
went fiat on his face, and lay there one
OF the men kicked him, but he didn't stir.
Then along came Chaffee, cool and easy.
and sees the kid.
"Hello. there! said Chaffee. what's
the matter, you fellow down there? Get up
and fight with your company
"No, / can't whines the kid.
"'Cant? says Chaffee. jumping down
into the trench and hauling the boy up
What's the matter with you that you
can't? Are you hurt?
" No, sir, says he. I'm scairt I'm
afraid OF getting hit
"'Wel, you're a fine soldier says the
general. Then he looked at the boyish face
of the kid and his face kind of softened.
L suppose you can't help IT, he said. 1t
amt much your fault. I'd like TO get hold
of the fellow that took you into the army
II suppose any other general would have
sent the kid 10 the rear In disgrace, and
that would have been the end of 1t; but
Chaffee stood there with the bullets klyi-
ing around him beside the boy, who had
crouched down again, and thought, with
his chin in his hand. By and by he put his
hand on the boys shoulder.
There isn't as much danger as you
think for he said. Now, you get up and
take your gun and fight and I'll stand here
by you
1.-THE boy got up shaking like leaf and
fired his first shot pretty near straight into
the air
That's pretty high says the general.
Keep cool and try again.
"Well, sir in three minutes that scairt
kid was fighting like veteran and cool as
a cucumber, and when he saw 1t the gen.
eral started on.
you're all right now. my boy he said,
You'll make a good soldier
a. God bless you. SIR said the youngster.
You saved me from worse than DEATH
and he was pretty close to crying when he
said it.
after a while the order came to retire
from the trench. and we just had to collar
that kid and haul him away by the neck
to get him to retreat with his company.
And, at that he got bullet through>the
fieshy part Of his shoulder an hour before.
In the rest of the fights there wasn't a
better soldier in the company, and not
not only that, but we never heard a grum-
BILE or kick from him from that day..

to fame Its president IL Major-General

wanton atrocities in his campaign in Vir-
ginia, outstripping Butler the Beast"
have rendered his name unsurpassedly in
famous at home and throughout the civil
lied world. That moral lusus naturae,
himself childless, as if in resentment for
Gods wise provision that monsters should
not propagate their species blackened his
soul and charred his hands with the
burning ruins of the homes of his own UNI
offending kindred, where and among
whom he had in youth and manhood en-
joyed the most elegant and lavish hospi-
talities. The second, the Judge-Advocate,
is a man-mankind. crave your pardon
a worm-little animals, forgive the In
sult-who from his ambush delights TO
belch forth tho virus of his cowardly per-
seeutions upon those before whose noble
presence his bastard spirit would quail
one whom the alphabet that spells Their
Iites, Squalidity, and Blackguards refuses
Is letters to tell us who he is, and hyper
1ole for meanness, is an ellipsis for Holt.

Mr. Tucker continues,
Is II impossible that Booth may have

havs formed tn intimacy which common
vice begets9 Andrew Johnson. let 1t be
borne in mind, has been noted for many
years past as an almost frenzied aspirant
for the presidency. All the arts and ap-
plianoes Which the fruitful brain OF the
demagogue could invent ana
employ have been exhausted TO attain
this goal of his audacious ambition. After
g. struggle Of years-and not until the
States OF the South. including his own,
had separated themselves from all politi-
cal connection with the North-did he
reach the position of second civil officer OF
that government Then the prize. so
long dazzling his vision seemed within his
grasp. Like Ludovico. did he touch his
brow in anticipation Of the encircling dia-
dem? But the illusion was short-lived

ding all classes upon that most disgrace

lated to dampen his hopes Of the reali-
zat,on Of his long-cherished aspirations.

drew Johnson instigated the murder Of

Did Booth commit this fearful deed
with no other motive than that which
Inspired the youthful Erostratus to fire
the Temple OF Diana, at Ephesus7 If so.
why did he call upon Mr.. Johnson eight
hours before the time fixed for his fell
purpose7 Did he call upon him with the
dssi4u OF assassinating him? Surely
none OF his acts bear out the Inference
that he was mad enough 70 suppose that
could murder Mr.. Johnson ct O'Clock
