PRIVATE ALIENS NEW STORY
About q German Veteran Who Was
Given to Boosting of His War.
Time Exploits.

John Allen is in town-John Allen, OF
Tupelo. That means that new crop
of stories will appear in the capitol
cloak-rooms. Here is one for starter,
says the Washington Star.
ssThere is an old fellow in East St.
Louis named Zollenbaum, who is quite
a character. He saw little service in
the union army, but regards himself as
a hero. One night, in Grand Army
campfire, he was reciting his various
exploits, which, by much repetition
had grown considerably, both in num-
Der and character. He told how in
one battle he had killed four confed-
crates in a hand-to-hand combat. and
in another battle had slain six. His re-
cital, accompanied by profuse ges"
ture and a deep, rich German accent,
elected much enthusiastic applause.
ssBut at the close of his remarks
modest little man in the rear OF the
hall, wearing medal of honor, arose
and called attention to the fact that
the two battles the gentleman men
toned had occurred on the same day,
1900 miles apart.
ssThis blow bade fair for moment to
stagger the doughty Zollenbaum; but
he was equal to the occasion.
"sMy vrend,' he shouted, comrades
of de Grand Army, we have tam
rebel in our midst. Rouse NIT him!'
and in the confusion Zollenbaun,
marched proudly from the hall.

second Illinois who scorned the ordi-
nary methods of Furnishing the pri-
Yates Of his company. While we were
at Birds Point, Mo-, in the fall of 1861,
I passed his quarters one day and
found him behind his tent pounding a
man as large and active as himself.
The captain was stripped to shirt and
trousers, and was fighting for the mas
terry.
''For five or ten minutes it was give
and take between him and his antag-
onist. Then the latter was knocked
down and said he had enough. Then
the captain put on his coat, sent the
man to the orderly's tent, and sat
down to smoke with me. He said he
made tia rule to trounce every manwho
was saucy or insubordinate, and as
his men were mostly from the country,
and given, to Independent notions, he
found the plan to work well. He said
he would no more think of bucking and
gagging one of his men than he would
of shooting him.

of the war found the same sort of a

knows how the union vessel was fin
ished, went down the coast and was
In Hampton roads when the Merri-
mac came out.
II will never forget the day of the
battle. It was an exciting time in
New Haven, for we had a kind of
local pride in the Monitor, on ac-
count of Mr.. Eushnell's connection
with her construction. All day long
crowds clustered around the tele-
graph Office, receiving bulletins of
the'fght.
sMr. BUSHNELL and I were there,
too, you may depend upon it. At
last, along about five or six o'clock
in the evening came the news that
the Merrimac had been disabled by
the Monitor and had put back to
port. Bushnell, who was strapping
fellow, with a hand in proportion to
his size, brought his hand down on
my shoulder with whack that near
" knocked me down.

"Now that we are engaged" said
the fair young thing, Il will tell you
that I do not fear MICE"
'"That is NICE" said the prospective
groom.
"And,' continued the fancee, II

and can add row of figures with.

consecutive figure; and can build

Here the man drew himself up
with much dignity and sorrow and
cried:
"Then I cannot marry you, alas!'
"Why?" gasped the girl.

superiority of man over woman if I

stopped alta station on the Union
Pacific railway not far from an army
post. Several soldiers in charge of a
sergeant were unloading supplies from
freight cars on the switch when a
captain drove up and spoke irritably
and impatiently to the sergeant, charg-
ing him with negligence and laziness.
The sergeant attempted to explain, but
the captain called him a sun Of a gun,
or words to that effect ordered him
to shut up and get through With his
work.
''The sergeant, a big, strapping fel.
low, said that if the captain was not an
officer, he would make him take that
back, or lick him. The captain said at
once that he would drop the officer
for ten minutes, if the sergeant really
wanted to lick him. The sergeant said
he did, and the two went into the large
vacant freight house to settle the mat
ter. The captain threw off his coat
and the sergeant his blouse and belt,
and after calling the station agent to
act as referee, the two shook hands
and went at it.
'"The sergeant was the larger man,
and depended on his strength. The
captain was, however, well trained,
and in the end worsted his antagonist.
The sergeant, recovering slowly from
a knock-down blow, was asked by the
captain: DO you think you can lick
me now?' The sergeant said at first he
didn't know, but before he got to his
feet he said he was satisfied he couldn't
do it. Thereupon the captain said:
very well. If you are quite certain in
your own mind that you can't lick me,
I recall all remarks about you being
son of a gun, but still stand by the
specification. as. to negligence and 1azi-
ness unless these supplies are at the
fort in an hour The supplies were
there on time, and the captain assured
me at later date that the sergeant
held no grudge against him.

RANGE OF THE CATFISH ZONE.
Origin Of the Philadelphia Habit of
Eating Them with WALES At
tributed to q Quaker.

While pessimists have been denounc-
ing the extension of the pine belt
through the United States, and the en-
largement of the saleratus-biscuit
district, they have been entirely OBJ
ivious of the extraordinary develop
ment of the catfish zone, says the
New York Post. This mischievous
dweller of the pool is known to the
small boy and the rustic angler un-
der many names-in one place as a
sucker, in another a bull-head, in
third wolf-fsh, and, most outrageous
of all, in northern Mississippi as
shad. But it's own only genuine title
is catfish. The name is derived from
the fact that when the creature is
raised from the water it. emits a
granting protest which poetical fisher
men have pronounced like the purring
of family cat.
Philadelphia produced the catfish
habit. For two centuries the animal
was looked at as something which
might be eaten to prevent starvation,
until one fine day thrifty Quaker
found that the catfish would eat boiled
cornmeal, and that this simple food
not only fattened the eater, but
changed the color of it's belly from
white to yellow. He perceived the
pecuniary value of the discovery, and
established catfish farm, in which he
fattened the fishes which he caught
elsewhere, and in due season sold them
to the Philadelphia markets.
A Quakeress soon after that discov-
cred that the old-fashioned waffle,
slightly sailed and covered with melt
ed butter, made an irresistible ac-
cessory to the fish when well fried.
This started the catfish and waffies,
for which the City of Brotherly Love
has ever since been famous. The
habit spread like an epidemic, and, like
the star of empire, it's way was west
ward. So far as is known, the United
States government has no record of
catfish and waffles east of the Delaware
river, but starting at Philadelphia, a
distinct catfish zone runs westward,
terminating at Denver, reaching as
far north as Minneapolis and St. Paul
and as far south as Mobile and New
Orleans. The catfish is said to pos
sess medicinal virtue. 1t is mildly
anaesthetic, soporific and anti-spas-
modic.

BURNING HEAD.

Star City, Ark, May 26th.-A very
remarkable case has just occurred
here.
Mr.. w. H. McFalls has been suffer-
ing severely for two years with an
ailment that puzzled the doctors and
everybody. The trouble seemed to be
all in his head, which had a burning
sensation all the time.
Sometimes this burning pain in the
head would be worse than at other
times, but it never left him.
At last he tried new remedy
called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and was
agreeably surprised to find that the
burning gradually disappeared.
An attack of La Grippe has laid
him up for the last few weeks, but
Dodd's Kidney Pills have banished
his old trouble entirely.
His son George used few of the
Pills which his father did not need
and they have done so much good
that he says he would not take ten
centsa Dill for the few he still has left.

BUILDING THE MONITOR.
Account Of the stirring
Event and nm Attendant
Incident.

\ There is the man who was bonds
nan for the construction of the
i Monitor"
~ This remark is often made at the
4 capitol as Representative Sperry, of
sConnecticut, is pointed out. It was
Y 40 years ago that Mr.. Sperry signed
his name to the instrument that
pledged every dollar he had in the
world on the success of an expert
ment-that the United States navy
department was not willing to back,
which . great many people thought
was foolish one, but the success
of which marked the turning point
in the naval fights of the war.
Mr.. Sperry never speaks of his
connection With the affair. He is
very modest upon that score, and it
is only with difficulty that he can be
drawn into discussing it. He got re-
sults-and that's all there was to. it,
says the Washington Star.
But Mr.. sperry's story of the bond
ing of the constructors of the Moni-
tor, the fiscal act which was ante
cedent to the great military drama,
is very interesting.
II was a young fellow" said Mr..
Sperry. ''but was full of patriotism
and aldor for the success of the
union cause, and I guess that was
why the projectors of the Monitor
approached me to back the scheme
with bond for the successful build
ing of the vessel.
John A. Griswold, of Troy, at that
time member of congress; Cor
nelius S. Bushnell, Of New Haven.
and western man named Winslow
were the builders. The vessel was de-
signed by Ericsson, as is well known,
but these three men were to con-
struct her. The navy department
was skeptical of the practicability of
Ericsson's idea, and declined to adj
vance the money unless bond could
be provided to secure the department
against loss if the plans should not
work out successfully. 81.
There was great connection about
the building of the confederate ram
Merrimac. We knew that she was
going ahead at the Gosport navy
yard and would be the most for
midable vessel afoat. She was iron
clad, and the thought of that invinci-
BILE ship being turned loose among
the wooden vessels of the coast was
terrible one.
''She could have levied tribute on
every city along the coast from the
Chesapeake to Maine, and would
have had everything her own way.
Well, when the Monitor was pro-
posed, people said that was just the
thing if it would work out. But
many people were doubtful about the
cheese box as they jeeringly called
Ericsson's vessel.
''Air. Bushnell thought she could be
built. So Mr.. John Drew, of New
York, and myself went Oh his bond
with the navy department and the
work was started at Greenpoint, n.
Y. It was nip and tuck between the
two rivals which should be complet-
