| In the last year of the war, while
was out with my men on a scouting
expedition into the enemy's country
we were all captured by Colonel
Otis command. knew we would be
treated we'll In that great Union
army. with all of its lines of COM
munication open, with everything
that soldier could wish for in camp.
/ looked forward to the first meal
with great expectations What do
you suppose Colonel Otis gave us?
Corned beef and cabbage. II was a
reminder of that meal at the old
farmers house, when Colonel Otis
was my prisoner and understood it,
and l want to say that never did any
friend of mine among my own people
come nearer to me in the hour of
trouble than the gentleman on my
life.
Then changing his tone to one of
intense feeling, Colonel Gilmer turn
ed to General Sheridan and said:
/ want to express my heartfelt graft
tude to you and to General Otis, Gen.
eral Sickles and General Butterield
and all of the committee of arrange
ments for their invitation to take
part in the obsequies of the greatest
soldier of this or any other age. By
you soldiers you wore the blue and
who love General Grant l will not be
misunderstood when I say that the
men who wore the gray came also to
love him. As time moves on our chill
dren and our children's children will
with one accord declare that General
Grant was not only great General,
but typical patriot Of the age. His
life was gentle, and the elements SO
mixed in him that nature might stand
up and say to all the world, This was
man; this was a man.
This fervid speech, this tribute to
the old commander, delivered with all
the warmth and earnestness Of an in
tense Southern nature, took the men
about the table by surprise. AS Gil
mer took his seat the others as one
man stood on their, feet General
Sheridan put his arm around Gllmer's
neck and then shook both his hands
and thanked him from the bottom Of
his heart for his tribute to Grant
The others came one by one with
their congratulations. and men who
had stood emotionless In time of bat
tie were as children in their demon
stratiyeness.

There were, Of course, calls for
Colonel Gilmer, who was as much of
an orator as Colonel Otis. He COM
plimented Colonel Otis for his render
ing of the Burial of Sir John Moore,
saving that every line had a new
meaning TO him, and would always
have a new meaning. He said fur
Their that he could bear testimony to
the good riding and courage of the
eight men who were with Colonel Otis
when he was captured. He could also
bear testimony that. in addition to
being the best riders he ever saw,
they were the best eaters But he
