book with sigh.
"Nothing ever happens to us, ;"

smile, as she bent forward to pick
up dead leaf of her geranium.
Millicent and Catherine More
we're girls of twenty-five and twenty
five-"old maids" the seventeen
year-olders called them-who taught
school and supported themselves
comfortably by their own unaided
efforts.
Millicent was pretty, with red

hair touched with the warm auburn
gold that artists copy and poets rave
of, and Millicent had not quite Civ

POLICY or GRANT.

General Grant had early diseov-
cred that he could not defeat Con
federate army compared to his own
numerically under the leadership
Of Lee, for Lee was his master in
the science OF war, aud no one
knew that fact better than Grant
himself. Therefore, regardless Of
cost, he must be hammered unceas-
ingly and persistently hammered
by his bigger adversary until he was
worn out and starved out. That
was the true course for him to pur-
sue, and the result proved it.
That General Grant originated
this policy there is no doubt. lie
had started out in the spring Of
1864 to march to Richmond by a
certain straight line elf it took all
summer. 1t did take all summer
and all fall and winter, and when
the next spring came he was still
20 miles from the coveted Confed-
crate capital, and he only reached
that point by the crookedest and
bloodiest straight line general ever
drew in his minds eye.
With a greatly inferior force Lee
had met him in the Wilderness.
The straight line was DETECTED to
the left. At Spotsylvania Lee again
DETECTED the course Of that straight
march, and 1T went further to the
left, and still further when it reach
ed Cold Harbor, the bloodiest de.

an order from General Gillmoreto
the commissary to throw open bis
doors, that had been so long closed
against US, and relieve our wants.
This same cruel commandant,
not many months after the war,
dropped dead in the Astor House,
New York, while conversing with
friend.
And what had happened outside
Of our prison home during these
weary months9 Much to sadden
our hearts, as occasional letters and
papers informed us. The thin line
of Lees soldiers facing Grant be-
fore Petersburg grew thinner every
day from death and disease, and
yet they starved and shiyered in
their scant raiments uncomplafn-
ingly.
The handwriting on the wall
grew more distinct every day, and
We knew too well that the end was
not far off.
And then, too, we had heard Of
Joe Johuston's removal from com.
mand of the splendid army he had
so long husbanded for supreme
effort, and how that army had been
frittered away by as gallant SOL
der as ever drew sword, but one
totally untitled to take such com
mand. And this was one more ad-
ded to President Davis many cost
" mistakes. Then came news Of
Sherman's march across Georgia,
which could never had happened
but for this most objectionable
blunder, all Of which we we're 10th
to believe until with cur own ears
we heard Sherman's guns thunder
ing at the gates Of Savannah, rot
many miles away.
The handwriting on the wall
came out in holder relief, and the
oause for which the men Of the
South had so freely shed their blood
aud for which its women had so
eheerfally and INCREASINGLY toiled
and suffered seemed indeed lost.
From Colonel Brown and his Of
ficers and men there came never a
word Of exultation. They inform.
ed Us Of what was doing in the out
side world in way that could not
wound the feelings Of the most SEN
sitive among us.
Aud upon the heels Of all this
came q day Of tribulatiou to US
the noble 18th had orders to pack
up and join Sherman in his VIC
torious march along the coast.
What manner Of man would sue
coed this Christian soldier, and
what chsoges would take place in
our condition 4?
The day for Colonel Browns de-
partpre came, and he left behind
him sad lot Of men, once bis enc
mies, now his friends.
Then there marched into the old
fort the toughest looking body of
soldiers had seen since last my
eyes rested upon a rebel regiment !;
and their commander looked as
tough as his army, and their rough
appearance was a result Of the hard
service they had gone through.
But as they we're veterans we
knew that there wss nothing to
fear at their hands. And we
had made no mistake, although
General Leslie Molineux, Of New
York, their commander, did soon
after his arrival give US a scare that
was not quickly forgotten; but as
it was not seriously intended he
was readily forgiven. | will tell
you of that in my next.

IN A FEDERAL PRISON.
Being the Further Experiences Of
an Ex-COnfederate Officer.
Philadelphia Record.

fmladelph'a RECORD.
In my last article to the "The
Record" described the arrival al
Morris Island, s. g., from Fort
Delaware of six hundred Confeder-
ate officers, prisoners Of war, who
we're placed there under the FIRE Of
their own batteries in retaliation,
and also many incidents that trans
pired during the six weeks they re.
manned on the island.
That the Confederate Govern
ment had endeavored to bring about
an exchange for the like number Of
Federal officers in Charleston al
legged to be within range Of the bat
terles firing upon that city there is
no question, but all overtures TO
that end we're rejected, as Others
bad been previously. for it was not
the policy OF the Federal authori-
ties to exchange prisoners Of war.
The war had become one Of at.
triton on the part Of the North,
for after three years Of bloody strife
it had been made too apparent that
this was the only way TO end 1t. A
man lost to the South vas q man
lost forever, as there was no one TO
take his place The North, be-
cause OF its vastly greater popula-
ton, had no limit Of men, and ev-
cry ship that arrived from Europe
added recruits without stint to the
ranks Of It's armies; and beaides,
there was the large influx of runa.
way negroes from the South TO draw
upon. Therefore, Why should more
than one hundred thousand Con.
federatc prisoners be exchanged TO
OH the depleted ranks Of the Con
federate armies, when the North
had all the men 1t wanted aud TO
spare
The war would have been pro.
longel, with all its attendant hor.
rors, thousand upon thousands more
lives sacrificed, aud in the end the
result would have been the same.
Never for a day wss there any hope
for the South after the battle Of
Gettysburg and the surrender Of
VicksburR. II was true that the
Federal soldiers in Confederate pris-
ons we're starving, and so, for that
matter, we're tho Confederate sold-
iers in The field, and their wives
aud children at home, for the ooun.
try had been so deyasted that "a
crow flying over it had to carry its
ration.
II made no difference; these Fed.
eral soldiers would have to starve,
for they we're not needed, and in
the end It would prove the most
merciful way to bring tho war to a
close. 1t does seem monstrous at
a first glance, bot war ia q mon
ster, and monstrous as it might
seem, this method was the sure and
humane one after all.
