General Oliver o. Howard, in q rem
iniscent mood, says that Of the twenty
seven commanders of Union armies
during the civil war only two survive
General Schofield and himself General
Schofeld commanded the department
and Army of the Ohio for brief time
in 1864, but in the field he always
served, we'believe, under others-under
Sherman in the Atlanta campaign and
under Thomas when Hood invaded
Tennessee. Schofield checked the Con-
federate general in the famous and
bloody battle of Franklin. General
Howard was for some time In COM
mand of the Army of the Tennessee and
attained the rank OF brigadier general
in the regular army before the close of
the war. Speaking of the forty corps
commanders on the Union side. he
says: "Of them only ten are living. AS
| recall them. there are Sickles of the
Third corps. Stanley and Thomas John
Wood of the Fourth corps, Wilcox of
the Ninth corps, Sigel, Carl Schurz
and Stahl of the Eleventh corps, Gran
vile NJ. Dodge of the Sixteenth corps.
Badly Smith and General Alexander
Mcdowell McCook." General Howard
has omitted Adelbert Ames. who at one
time commanded the Tenth corps, and
William b. Franklin. who commanded
the Sixth and Nineteenth and who at
Fredericksburg directed the movements
of what was called the left general di
vision. consisting of two corps.

Savage Legends.

The savage islanders of the south
Pacific believe that the world is CO
coanut shell OF enormous dimensions.
at the top of which is a single aperture
communicating with the upper air.
where human beings dwell. At the
very bottom of this imaginary shell is
a stem gradually tapering to point
which represents the beginning of all
things. This point is Il spirit or demon
without human form, whose name is
Root of All Existence. BY him the en-
tire fabric OF creation Is sustained.
In the interior of the cocoanut shell.
at its very bottom. lives a female de-
mon. So narrow is the space into
which she is crowded that she is oblig-
ed to sit forever with knee and chin
touching. Her name is The Very Be
ginning and from her are sprung nu-
merous spirits. They inhabit five diff
ferent floors. into which the great co
coanut is divided. From certain of
these spirits mankind is descended.
The islanders, regarding themselves as
the only real men and women, were
formerly accustomed to regard stran-
gers as evil spirits in the guise of hu
manity. whom they killed when they
could. offering them as sacrifices.

carried this habit with him. He let il
be known among the heads of bureaus

the department until he had grasped
all the details of the work over which
he presided.
"The second day at his desk the ven
erable colored messenger who attended
him brought the usual large bundle of
letters to be signed. 1t was a pile of
typewriter epistles, inches thick. The
messenger placed them before Mr.. Hat
ton and, with a blotting pad in hand,
stood waiting for the signature, as he
had done for Mr.. Hatton's predecessors
since Hayes time. The first letter was
a long one on topic with which the
new postmaster general was not famil-
lar and so formal, legal and involved
that one reading did not make its
meaning clear. Mr.. Hatton hesitated,
wrinkled his forehead and mused to
himself:
What's this all about anyway? It's
all news to me. l don't know whether
l approve of the things it says or not.

line of march, as l remember, was up

and from this Major Mckinley made
one of the strongest speeches l ever

one that would tend to inspirit, scarcely
q thousand persons being present, but
It was the beautiful ceremony of deck
ing with flowers and firing volley over
the grave of each dead soldier that
aroused him to such eloquence.
Well, to make long story short, the
delaying of the performance and the

exercises were an advertisement, and
the canvas was packed both afternoon
and evening Several times afterward

Capture of . Georgia Flag.

Among the many brave deeds done
during the war of the rebellion there
is none more worthy of note than the
capturing of the colors Of the Seven
teenth Georgia regiment at the battle
of Fredericksburg by Jacob Cart OF
Carlisle. Cart was private In Company
A Captain Ecurius Beatty OF the
Seventh regiment Of the Pennsylvania
volunteer corps. In this battle, on the
18th day of December. 1862, promi-
nent part was taken by the Pennsyl.
vania reserves.
The Seventh regiment was foremost
in one of the charges. which resulted
so disastrously to the Union forces, and
had attained point within few feet
of the rebel lines. A color bearer Of
the Seventeenth Georgia f1aunted the
stars and bars in the faces Of the men
Of Company A, and Cart, leaving his
companions, rushed forward and, tear
Ing the flag from the staff, succeeded
in carrying it to his regiment
After the battle he turned over the

For this act Private Cart was awarded

George. At Charlottesville Wannall
had the book in n side pocket. and
stuffed in with it was q towel. A
Confederate bullet struck him in the

thicknesses of the towel and part way
through the diary and then stopped.
When French wanted witnesses to the
fact that he was Page in the army, he
hunted up William H. Walter, whom
he knew as a comrade. and the latter
brought with him Mr.. Wannall also,
whom French had not seen since the
war. French didn't recognize Wannall
until the latter called to mind the diary
