JAMES ISLAND June IS, 1863.
Dear Brother: vas astonishei to

for you; when met one Of the
wounded of your regiment and he told
me that he believed that you were
safe. ! was on the breastwnrks dur

your cause, for | can assure you | will

afford chance.

compliments. / am your brother,
JAMES CAMPBELL.
Brother John left here about two
years ago. Ihave not heard from him
since.
James Campbell was in this city
during the past summer and visited
the relic room with his brother.
On Thursday there came from him,
as gift to the elic room, two one
hundred pound conical shells, which
were thrown into Oh rleston during
the war by one of Gilmore guns.
Such relics as these are very hard
to get now, and the curators Of the
museum appreciate very highly the
courtesy of their Confederate COM
rade.
Additions are being made to the
museum daily.

Headed His Company in Fine Style.

Dave Bowland was high private in
an Alabama "critter company during
the war, and sometimes was carried
into the hottest sort of fight when a
charge was ordered, because his horse
would run when the others ran, no
matter how hard he pulled at the
reins.
One day the captain dismounted his
company and ordered the men ''to
charge the enemy afoot. With q big
yell away went the boys, but they
soon got far ahead of Dave, for he
hadn't the spirit of his horse. Dave
began to think Of the cursings he was
to get from the captain and the rail
ings from the boys, when, looking
ahead, he saw them coming back in
full retreat. Dave says he "immedi-
ately recovered his courage and
wheeling around, shouted out. Come
on boys aud then outran them as
badly as they had him a few moments
before. When they reached the cover
of the breastworks Dave sauntcred up

upon an eminent physician the other

The United States Department Of
Agriculture has, by experiments, found
that the force Of a growing pumpkin
was sufficient to lift two and one-half
tons, provided the weight is SO placed
as not to interfere with the growth or
natural development Of the vegetable.
In London, a paving stone which
weighed 500 pounds. and which was
wedged in on all sides by other stones,
was lifted up by mushroom. The

Should Children be Whipped!

All children differ in temperament.
Some are amenabe to kiud wnris,
while nothing but the r"d will have
any affect upon others. Children who
must be ruled by the rod are the e1-
cept;"n The majority of children
will yield to kindness To begin
with, children must not always be
punished for everything they do
wrong. The world is new to them,
aud they have. everything to learn.
Never punish a child for first
offense. Watch carefully for an op
portunity to correct him, but unless
the offense is very bad do not reprove
"r correct him in the presence Of
strangers or friends. You must make
mp your mind to shut your eyes t"
b If The mischievous things he does,
hut be on the alert to catch him in
the act Of actual wrongdoing.
Fur first offense you must he all
gentlenes> and very patient Try to
Impress upon him that what he ha>
done is very wrong and has displeased
you. Talk kindly and firmly, and in
a. simple words as possible go.over.it
twn or three times and make the child
thoroughly understand how much you
fee! Eur: that be should. have done.
Wrnng.
Never scold, nor be harsh, nor
strike, however gently. Simply give
the child as sweet aud tender a lesson
as possible by talking. This, if done
properly, will be much more effective
than whipping. The offense may be
repeated, but do not at once use the
cane: 1t may have been an accident.
aud you must remember that child
cannot retain things as an adult can.
He may have forgotten, SO be patient
little while longer, though perhaps
a little more severe and impressive.
If this fails and the ofense is repeat
ed wilfully, one must have recourse
to the rod and rule the child by fear.

Voices Against. Mger1sm.

The New York. Herald, in pressing Its
demand that the war department scandals
be investigated by an impartiaf congressionai
committee has this to sayT ! j
Nothing short of radical rand impartial
investigation by congressional committee
will satisfy the American people. The giving
of worthless and poisonous meats to the
brave fellows who were lighting their couh-
try's battles is only one of a series of crimes
and blunders perpetrated during the war. 1t
ia impossibIe to permit either the individuals
who perpetrated these or the organization un-
der which they occurred to go unrebuked ana
unreformed Neither the president nor the
secretary should entertain a mistaken notion
that this is matter that will blow over
The facts must and will out the guilty must
and shall be punished Congress should in
stitute a rigorous inquisition, and nothing
less will satisfy the people"
And so say we. And SO papers are saying
all over the country. Turn on the light and
go to the bottom of the whole outrageous
business, no matter whom the exposure may
hurt.-Richmond Dispatch.
In a certain sense, 1t will be observed, 1t
is the president who is really on trial in this
wretched business of "embalmed" beef con-
tracts. There are those who insist that he
is creature of syndicates and facile tool
of political manipulators, while on the other
hand many are to be found-even among
the ranks of his political opponents-who ac-
credit him with that sturdy honesty and in
domitable will power that was ever char
acteristic of his Scotch Irish ancestry. Let
us see what course the president, thus situ-
ated between two fires, zwilllchoose as an
alternative II he have. sblood and iron in
his disposition, now is1otheifdtime for him
to show it. Will he join the hue and cry
against Miles. or will he kick Alger out?-

Somewhat surprised at the unusual con-
duct Of the stranger, one of the cavalry boys

Who's that fellow? Crazy?"
ic.' Guess not replied the man behind the
bar, that's John Wilkes Booth, the actor.
Brother of Edwin Booth. Both of them are
heavy tragedians; he's not in the play to-
night; it's a comedy
The last statement of the barkeeper was in
correct. Booth was in the play, and that, too,
as the principal character. Within twenty
minutes of that time the cavalry boys in the
gallery heard a shot. saw the stranger leap
from the proscenium box, saw him catch his
spur in the folds of Old Glory draped before
the presidents box, fall, recover his feet,
limp to the center of the stage and heard
him utter that memorable Latin quotation,
"Sic semper tyrannis!'
And one of the cavalry boys who had wit
messed the prologue and the tragedy, was an
actor in the epilogue at the blazing barn when
the frenzied assassin dragged himself out
from the flames and smoke, and was shot to
death by Corporal Boston Corbett.

pressed with q consciousness of the
dangers Of the military as we'll as the
political situation He drove slowly
with Gen. Blair over to the boat which
was to convey them from Harrison's 8
Landing back to Washington. When the
vessel had started Lincoln, for the first
time since leaving McClellan's tent,
broke the silence and said:
Frank. 1 understand the man now.
That letter is McClellan's bid for the
presidency. 1 will stop that game. Now
is the time to issue the proclamation

He, forthwith issued the emancipa-
ton proclamation"
In the congressional delegation from
a Western state were two members
who were intensely jealous of each
other. Mr.. Lincoln told the following
story to a mutual friend of both, de-
scribing their different gifts. Jones, a
class leader in Sangamon county, was
exceptionally gifted in prayer. Simp-
kins, Joness neighbor, was a farmer
who could not boast Of similar gift,
but was known all over the county for
his skill as a fiddler, which made him
a welcome quest at every country
"hoe-down.'' Simpkins never conceal
ed his jealousy Of Jones's power when
he appealed to the throne of grace.
After a remarkably effective display
of Joness vigor as a praying man, as
Simpkins walked down the aisle Of
the little frame church, he turned to-
wards Lincoln and said: Lincoln, I
know very we'll that can't make half
as good a player as old Jones; but, by
the grace Of God, I can fiddle the
shirt off Of him."
No more touching incident in Lin
coins life has ever appeared than that
contained in story told by Gen. Will
lam T. Sherman. 1t came directly from
William H. Seward, Lincoln's secreta-
ry of state. 1t was the habit Of that
gracious Optimist, Mr.. Seward, to
spend his Sunday mornings with the
president. After the president had
been shaved in his own room, he ac-
companied his secretary Of state across
Pennsylvania avenue and over to the
Seward mansion, afterwards occupied
by Secretary Blaine.
On one of these Sundays a tall, mil
itary figure was pacing up and down
in front of Secretary Stewards house.
He saluted the president in military
fashion as the two statesmen passed
him. There was something in the Of
fcer's expression that arrested Mr..
Lincoln's attention. The soldier was a
lieutenant colonel in a Pennsylvania
regiment. Emotional himself, the
president was swift to detect unusual
emotion in others. He said, "You
seem to be in a peck of trouble?"
yes" said the lieutenant colonel,
II am in deep trouble. My wife is dy-
ing at our home in Pennsylvania, and
my application for a furlough for two
weeks was peremptorily refused yes
terday by my colonel. My God! what
can do? If 1 go home my colonel
will brand me as a deserter, and I
will be arrested on my return"
Mr.. Lincoln was visibly affected.
"Never mind, young man." said he.
well try and fix this matter
He pulled a card from his vest pock-
ct, and, leaning against the broad
oaken doors of the Seward mansion,
he wrote on its back:

How Davis and Hale Lunch.

From Washington Letter.
1t Is interesting to loiter about the Senate
restaurant and notice the tastes of the diff
ferent senators. Senator Hale of Maine for
instance, never goes into the restaurant to
eat. Senator Hale is an exclusive, fastid-
ious gentleman and he has his midday lunch
con served to him in his committee room. He
always eats lobster at noon. For years he
has not failed to consume one boiled lobster
daily Now, boiled lobster is q pretty good
dish, but the average man is apt to get tired
of it after few trials Senator Davis of
Minnesota, comes into the senate restaurant,
goes to the counter where dishes are display
ed and looks over the entire outfit. He does
this with great care, and it takes him good
while, no matter how busy he may be. When
he has made his daily inspection he gives
his order-mince pie and coffee. Sometimes
he changes and takes pumpkin pie, but it is
almost always pie and coffee. The new SEN
ator from Vermont. Mr.. Ross. who is a skit-
tish young fellow of only seventy-two sum-
nlers-pretty young for Vermont senator

PROLOGUE, TRAGEDY AND EPILOGUE e


Thirtyfour years ago, on the evening of
the 14th Of April next, a small squad of SOL
diers belonging to the First Michigan cav
airy, were gathered in buffet near Ford S
theater, Washington, D. c., known at that
time as the Green Room. This regiment was
encamped at Bladensburg, the old dueling
ground and the soldiers had come to Wash
ington on passes for the purpose Of attend
ing the performance at the theater, which
they eventually did. While there. instead Of
the expected comedy, they witnessed the aw-
full tragedy resulting in the death of Pres
ident Lincoln.
But to this tragedy the five cavalry boys
were destined to Witness also. an exciting
prologue, an account of which has never be-
fore been published. While they were con-
versing with each other a tail, slenderly-built
man, with coal-black hair and pallid face,
came hurriedly into the buffet. i He hoarsely
demanded glass of brandy. The barkeeper
spun out a couple of glasses, the one an
ordinary-sized water tumbler. the other a
much smaller liquor glass. Selling the de-
canter the man nervously flied the larger
