New York. Dec. 20.--During the
early years Of the civil war, a party of
young men walked out Of thenter In
this city after the performance of tue
opera, then popular, Mariana. Stand.
ing head and shoulders above his ecu.
panions. Henry W. 1awton. then q
captain In the Thirtieth Indiana, WIS
perhaps the most conspicuous of the
group. He had only recently been
promoted from the first lieutenancy
in the Ninth Indiana, and he WIS on a
short furlough TO New York.
He grew enthusiastic over the bcr.
formanee. He had not been able, IN
Indiana, to see much OF opera. and to-
gcthcr with his natural liking for
music, the martial spirit of Don
Cesar dc Bazan completely won Linn.
The tenor on Tint occasion was an eN.
celient one, and the young captain
was taken with the famous solo be-
ginning:
'yon let mo like a soldier fall
Upon some opea field"
AT the conclusion OF the many en-
cores Capt. Lawton turned to his
friends and remarked that the slng
expressed his sentiments In their en-
tirety. As Iawton walked out of the
iheatcr he tried TO sing the words, but
beyond the FIRST few he could re-
member little. Then he wodid hum
the tune until those who were with
him remarked s.iat he ought 10 learn
the music before trying TO give 1t.
But gnsd-natared banter did not
seem 20 lessen the love of the soldier
for the sentiment and nir. When he
returned TO his regiment he went IN
the bandmaster and asked him to get
The Music and TO learn the piece upon
which bis fancy had fallen. When the
selection arrived. the bandmas;er was
dismayrd TO lind that ID was aimcst

persistent was Capt. LAwton that the
bendmaxter turned Che solo into q
march. which the band played ms one
of the favorite pieces Of the regiment.
And during the continuous rise of
