 When the dark clouds of war were lowering over us, and one side of our countrymen were arrayed against the other, and passions and preiudices were stirred up to such intensity that blood and carnage and death had to ensue to appeaseit, hostilities had actually begun, the two brothers, fired with patriotism, i, love of flag and country, shouldered their guns in defense of what they deemed right, enlisted in the army of the United States as private soldiers. F. c. Naugiue soon rising step by step to that of captain. accepting no further promotion, although tender ed him by the governor of the state, desiring, as he said. to remain with his company, all of whom had been his neighhors and friends at home. Hew as Captain of Company G, First Arkansas cava Try, TransMissiesippi department. It is said of Capt. Vaugine's company, we do not hesitate to state this company has in every engagement proyey. it's by alty, love of country and freedom, by it's bravery and good conduct, and has earned the gratitude of tue Ne tion. He was wounded and cap- tured at Palot Knob, Mo-. on the 27th day of September, 1864 and re- mained q prisoner until the close of the war. On the charge at this place he, the first and second lieuten- ants and twenty-two men remained on the field of battle, of whom sey- enteen were killed.
 The highest encemium of praise that can be offered to their memory is to write on the tablets to be erect ed in their honor, They died as they lived, honest men," It was the priv. ilege of the writer to knoE them in timately for years, and can readily testify to their large heartedness. 10 their charity. to their love for family and friends aud to their good will toward their fellowman. They had no envious disposition; they de. lighted in the success of their neigh. bors and friends; they were free from vanity-if tainted with it in the slightest degree it was unoJseryabl ble to their best friends. Such men as Capt. and Mir. P. N. Yaugine were. creates void by their death, which cannot be replaced.
 Into the sorroWing hearts of an affectionate wife, children, nephews and nieces I would eheerfuly from the balm of my kindest sympathy for this | tffiicting dispensation, but God has summoned them to king. dom above mortal sway. Let their best hope be to join them in heaven.

SOME SCHEME AFLOAT.

Movement Among Eastern Democratic ia
Control the National Organization.
ST. Louis. March 7.-Ex-Governor
William J. Stone, Democratic national
committeeman from Missouri, said he
believed that there was some truth in
the statement that there is a movement
among Eastern Democrats to elect Tom
L. Johnson of Ohio coairman Of the ma.
tional committee and eliminate silver
from the platform.
To a Post Dispatch representative
Governor Stone said:
"Some sort Of a scheme is on foot, al.
though l am not able yet to say
exactly what it is. From informa.
tion that came to me at Washington and
since. I gather that the end which the
Palmer and Buckner Democrats are try
ing to obtain is to capture the oreaniza.
tion of the party. Their scheme seems
to be to get into the convention a. dele
oates and with as little noise as posi-.
hle. hut by means of adroit manipula.
t;on. TO control az many delegates as
possiblc, with the ultimate object Of
controlling the convention and the ma
tional committee. They will be fo1
Ervan. but they want the organization.
"Speaking for myself, while I am
very glad to see the Palmer and Buck
nor Democrats who deserted the party
in 1896. come back to it, do not believe
in Offering a premium for their return.
IF they come back they should come
with no hope Of reward but as plain
Democrats. They deserted the party
IN 1896 and fought it as hard as they
could, and they should expect no re
ward for seeing the error OF their way
