Comrade Morrison paid the penalty
of incarceration in Libby prison, and
was mustered out June 10, 1864, dis
abled for life, his wounds and scars
being the best evidence of his valor.

Kept Their Flour

after our return from the Knox
Vile march in December, 1853, we
went into winter quarters at McAfee's
church, not far from Chickamauga.
We built small log houses, IL by IA
feet, each with a three-foot fireplace
and a chimney of sticks and clay mud.
Most of the clay used by our company
to daub the shanties was taken from
a large hole in the rear of the little
cabin occupied by Humphreyvill, Nc
Masters, Haynes, Tweedy, Roe5 and
myself, and we all have good reason
to remember it The hole had been
left open by order of Capt. Sturgis, as
a dumping place for company refuse,
but the boys put it to better use.
"At that time we were still on short
rations, and the boys were continually
hungry. In this mood they were
tempted by 500 barrels of flour piled
up near the government bakery.
where the commissary proposed to
bake bread every day for the division.
His intentions were good, but he could
not supply the demand, and Haynes,
McMasters and Wilson planned to
steal a barrel of flour and hide it IN
the clay hole. They succeeded, but
as eighteen other barrels were stolen
the same night the business was ove--
done and an investigation was order
ed.
Our barrel of -four was hid in tn ,
clay hole and brush thrown over it,
and dirt from the quarters was swept
carelessly about the brush When
Capt. Sturgis found the clay hole I'LL
ed with brush he swore until the air
was blue, and we asked Sergt With
row to explain to him confidentialIy
why the brush was there. Then there
was another explosion, but the cap

That's all right" was Senator
Hoar's comment eff a man is a crimi.
nal, Arkansas is the place for him. IT.
he is a free man and citizen, don't
know any better place for him than
Massachusetts,
Senator Willard of Nebraska was
tramping around the south end of the
capitol with visitors, who asked him
the cost of the immense structure.
I'm sure 1 don't know answered
the senator, little disappointed for
not knowing. What did this capitol
cost?" inquired he, appealing to one
of the House employees near the tele-
graph Office.
"Oh. guess about s25 200. ooo." was
the reply.
Capt. Kennedy, the veteran capitol
guide, however, says it cost about 3d.
100000, and he knows more about the
big building probably than any other
living man. He reckons in the cost
of the terraces and the improvements
in the new committee rooms, the total
being just about twice the expense of
erecting and eQuipping the Library of
Congress, just across the reservation.
