ONE ON THE COLONEL.

CircumstnntinI Evidence OF
Fornging.

After the seven days fighting in
front of Richmond, Va, we were al
lowed short rest under the protection
of our gunboats at Harrison's Landing,
on the James river. From there we
were ordered to Yorktown, on the
York river. Before leaving camp,
however, the usual orders were read
prohibiting any foraging on the way,
which order was received by the rank
and file" like 'cold bath on frosty
morning" inasmuch as we had lived
on short rations of salt bacon and hard
tack for many days, and fresh meats
of any kind usually found on our way
would have come very acceptable,
writes a veteran, in the National Trib-
une.
We broke camp and moved over the
Chickahominy on pontoon bridges, and
late in the day halted for nights rest
on fine plantation apparently desert
ed, yet showing signs of life in the
numerous ducks and geese in sight.
Now, ducks and geese are main at
traction to the average soldier, and
while the soldiers were cooking their
bacon and coffee few of us, under
pretense of going for water and re-
gardless of orders against ''foraging,'
took a stroll towards the buildings in
sight.
The first to attract our attention was
a fine patch of sweet potatoes, which
we found in fine condition for harvest
ing We soon had our haversacks well
filled with the toothsome tubers. Next
we explored the outbuildings for stray
members of the feathered tribes, but
without success, and we were about TO
return when we came upon a compare
lively new pig pen about four by six
and three planks high, with floor in
1t, and underneath a large quantity of
new straw two fine porkers about six
to eight weeks old. 1t took us but
few moments to slip under the pen two
poles, and manning each end we COM
menced our homeward march with
high anticipations of grand treat
when all the officers should be sleeping
the sleep of innocence and ignorance.
We had nearly reached our picket
line, where we had no doubt few
sweet potatoes would pass us through.
when who, above all others, should
come galloping up but our own colonel.
Hating at our side, he inquired what
we were carrying into camp. We very
humbly informed the colonel that it
was merely box pen that would make
a very convenient bedroom, and hoped
we had done nothing against the rules.
The colonel, not being quite satisfied
with our answer, inquired what was in
the pen. Of course, we told him, moth
ing but straw for our bedding" He
thereupon rode closer, and, leaning
over, looked into the pen, eXclaiming:
"Humph! Two of as fine porkers as
I've seen in a long time. But, boys,
you must turn them loose, for it is
strictly against the orders to forage"
He then wheeled and rode away, and
we, setting down the pig pen, then and
there held council of war whereby

GERMANY AND KRUGER.
Chancellor Won BueIovy Explains Em-
peror's Failure to Receive
Famous Bocr.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE imperial cham
cellor, Count Won Buelow, replying in
the reichstag to question on the
subject of Mr.. kruger's failure to be
received by Emperor William, said the
government did all in its power to
ward off war and left the two repub-
lies in no doubt as to the state of
affairs in Europe and as to German
neutrality. When, in 1899, the ques-
tion of arbitration seemed not alto
gether excluded, the government rec
commended it to Mr.. Kruger. He
thought the time had not yet come.
When Mr. Kruger, later, sought in
tervention, his feelings were too high
ly inflated for the Dutch and German
governments. For the German gov
ernment it was lost time to give ad-
vice. Germany was convinced that
any step of a great power at that
moment would be critical and lead
to no result. "There was no use for
u.s." said the chancellor. ito pinch our
fingers between the door and the
hinge The chancellor added that
when the suggestion of mediation
was made to Great Britain by the
United States in a quite gently-word-
ed inquiry, it was rejected officially
and categorically. Intervention might
have led to war.
The chancellor described the reply
of NJ. Delcasse, the French minister
of foreign affairs, to Mr.. Kruger as:
France will in no case take the in
itiative, but would not oppose It
when certain eventualities became
known, provided they are calculated
to serve French interests" The chan
cellor thereupon remarked that he
could not have dealt with the situa-
ton better himself. Ovations to Mr..
Kruger in Germany, he pointed out,
would have displaced international re-
lations and served no purpose of Mr..
Kruger or of Germany. Germany was
not bound to Great Britain by hairs
breadth more than Great Britain was
bound to Germany. But to act the
Don QuiXote against Great Britain
would be piece of folly for which
he would not be responsible.
Although the Kruger matter will
be taken up again in the reichstag,
Count Won Buelow's speech, evident
ly prepared with great care, was so
overwhelming in its array of power
full facts that il amounted to a
sweeping victory over the entire OPP
position. So far as German policies
go, the incident is closed. At all
events, this was the evident opinion
of the reichstag when adjournment
was taken at a late hour.

the other side. He thought he had me
prisoner and commanded me to sur
render. At the same time he polled his
gun around the tree trying to cover
me. l made the same demand on him,
put my gun around the tree to his side,
and, regardless of the fierce fighting
going on around us, we edged around
that tree, each keeping opposite to the
other and each hoping to get the drop
on the other fellow.
This was more exciting than 1t
seems now and L never gave my whole
attention to any matter happened to

that Johnny. But finally my foot
slipped and he seized the opportunity
and banged away with the muzzle of
his gun not six inches above my nose.

agility as the confederate"

of the porker was released he began

PARTING OF THE WAYS.
When the Boys of the south Bads
Farewell to the Boys of
the North.

A moving scene in a sad drama
played at Annapolis at the outbreak
of the civil war has been set down by
United States Naval Academy" The
boys from the north and the boys from
the south were finally to separate to
see service on their respective sides,
and the grief of parting was keen.
The volcanic upheaval of the nation
was forgotten. They were friends and
brothers, bidding one another good
by, says Youths Companion.
The drums beat as usual for forma-
ton, and they fell in, northerners and
southerners alike, with their mess
crews. Commandant Rodgers had
caused the band to be present, and it
played the music of the union.
AS the strains of THE Star Spangled
Banner" and Hail, Columbia" poured
forth, the youngsters from the south
stood there with pale faces and set
teeth. Then Commandant Rodgers
spoke to them quietly and fee,ingly.
and finally, when he had said to them
al that could be said, he ordered those
who so desired to fall out of the ranks.
The boys from the states that had
thrown off their allegiance left their
places. And then came the farewell,
and it was pitiful.
The arms of those who were to go to
the north and those who were to go 10
the south went about each others
necks and the tears flowed, and the
hands which later were TO be raised in
bitter enmity linked in a last fond
clasp.
Then the order to leave was given.
The northerners embarked on the tug
which was to take them to the ship,
the southerners made their way home
ward as best they could, and the old
Constitution, with the flag she had so
often carried to victory flying. stood
down the Chesapeake and laid her
course to the north.
