How Mai. Logan Fell.

A letter received by the family of Lieut..
John Wilbur Ward, of the 33d Inf, at
Henderson, KY, recently, gives the fol
lowing details of the death of Maj. John
A. Logan. Lieut.. Ward writes:
"Referring to your question regarding
Maj. Logan: Yes, l was in his battalion
(the Third, and he was on the right flank
of our company when he was killed. He
was between Cos X and M, which
formed one continuous line, when he was
hit over the left eye by Filipino sharp
shooter from a position in cocoanut tree,
about 20 yards distant.
dozens of men can vouch for this. a
rumor has reached us that story to the
effect that Maj. Logan was shot by his
own men is going the rounds of the press.
This has aroused the Indignation of the
whole regiment. and the feeling is espe
cally strong among the men. Maj. Logan
was stern disciplinarian, very able Of
ficer, and one of the bravest men l ever
saw.
There can be no shadow Of doubt that
he was killed by the bullet of an insur-
recto while in the front rank of his own
men, leading them against the enemy"

A Visit to the Empress Dowager.

Two years ago the Empress Dowager
set aside all precedents and received the
ladies OF the Foreign Legations at Pekin.
The Saturday EUening Post publishes the
following description by one who was
present:
"Her Majesty was dressed in a pale
yellow silk gown, beautifully embroidered
with flowers and dragons Of the same col
or. She wore the headdresS commonly
worn by elderly Chinese women. her hair
being fastened in a knot at the back just
below the crown, the front OF the head
and a part of the forehead being con-
cealed by silk band heavily embroidered
with pearls Of large size.
u was struck with Her Majesty s
youthful appearance. She was slxfy-f0ur,
but she looked ten years younger. Her
face was plump and free from wrinkles.
She had high forehead, elongated per-
haps by the custom of the Chinese ladies'
of pulling out the hairs at the edge of
the forehead with tweezers. She had a
strong face and in youth must have been
very pretty. During the audience she fire.
auently smiled and ! could see no signs
OF that cruelty with which she has been
charged.
Her Majesty made us welcome to the
palace and to China. She said she was
glad indeed to receive us as foreigners,
and that we should be friendly with one
another, for were we not all of one fam

"Afte the banquet the Empress Dowag-
er again met informally with the ladies',
drinking tea with each of them in turn,
and in some cases throwing her arm about
one and embracing her.
AT this time she gave eacl lady n
present of beautiful gold ring set with
a pearl as big as marrowfat pea, nree
silk dresses from the royal looms and a
set of two dozen combs. Throughout the
whole audience she was exceptionally gra-
cious, and her manners were as polite and
affable and at the same time as dignihed
and ladylike as could be those of any En-
press of Europe"

Hurrah. Hurrah. Our wish shall ever be
That right prevaiI-our land be ever free;
Our flag, '.Old Glory" still upheld

The banner of the right and the Union.
To think of Battery Is career and never

Ones mind must be enveloped in the
darkest kind of cloud;
For did it not do nobly first and laSt-all

All hail the bsstered bugle, boys. that

All hail the veteran comrades who Obeyed

Repented naught; braved everything, from

Ever maintaining the Union.

They served from eighteen sixty-one and

We had not reached the age
That could endure soldiers life, and
Union cause engage,
Which cause immOrtaliZed each name of

Not one Of us but wish, like them, that of

That we'd been tried by every fire that

For honorS due them everywhere, both or

We helped-but they it was who saved

No hearts more Sad with sorrow beat

Who had suffered. marched, and fought

But as comrades we shall meet again
