Who Was He7

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The 105th
Ohio, as well as the 200th Ind, had a
Co. Q. 1t came about in this way: The
nOn-veterans of the 3Sth Ohio were placed
in our regiment while the veterans were
at home on furlough. This was in the
early Spring of 1864, while we were lying
at Ringgold. With the 3Sth Ohio men
who came to us there were about 12O re-
crnits at that time not yet assigned TO
companies. They were placed on the left
of our regiment and dubbed Go. O." and
Lieut.. Allen placed in command.
There was one conspicuous man in said
Co. q. He was unknown to all the men,
and it is of him | inquire.
The first time he was put on picket at
the outpost he took "French leave" Hav-
ing first fixed his bayOnet and stuck it in
the ground, he left fastened under the
hammer of his gun letter to our Colonel,
Geo. L. Perkins, explaining his actions and
the reasons for the same. 1t was my un-
derstanding that he was one of Cen Nor
gan's Captains, who had escaped from
prison at the time the General did and
had taken advantage of the enlistments
then in progress; had volunteered, received
a good bounty, a months pay, clothing,
equipments, and transportation to a point
within six or seven miles of the rebel
army, which he wished to reach. When
reading Mosgrove's Back to Old Ken
tucky' this man came to my mind. and
ask again, Who was he?-JoHN II.

by the progress Of our columns on the
right
Crossing the Ebenezer next day for the
third time we proceeded only four miles,
when we halted about noon for the re-
mainder of the day.
A cold, clustering wind beat down upon
us from the northwest, greatly TO our dis
comfort, but we refrained from complaint
when we considered how we had been
blessed with fine weather during our en-
tire trip, excepting only two or three days
Of rain.
UNCLE BILLY.
A short march on Dec. 10 of five miles
brought us to the Charleston & Savannah
Railroad within 10 miles of the city of
Savannah. We halted there for the day,
while the Twentieth Corps passed on
ahead.
When first we reached the railroad our
regiment, being near the advance, halted
at one of the redoubts built to protect
the road.
There | picked up a Savannah news
paper of December, 1861, in which the
first item to attract my attention ran in
this wise:
"Gen w. T. Sherman, commanding the
Federal army in Kentucky, is decided to
be insane"
The National tribune., 1902-03-20

it ready for us to cross early next morn
ing.
We were now marching directly toward
the Savannah River, which we reached
near Hudson's Ferry OH the 9th, after
march of Is miles.
Like DeSoto on the bank of the newly
discovered Mississippi, we rejoiced that
broad river was before us, upon whose
friendly bosom we might lanch as many
rafts as required and float down to the
sea, if other means Of transportation
should fail.
Next morning we turned our faces to-
ward Savannah, marching down the right
bank of the river at a lively pace for ID
miles. which brought us to Ebenezer
Creek where we had to await the COM
t!etioE of a pontoon bridge.
We crossed the next day about noon 10
the little town of EbeneZer, where stood
one of the Oldest churches in America. il
was used by Gen. Greene during the Rev
olution as n hospital, and bore on ITS
front the date of 1863.
We moved four miles to the EbeneZe.
River, where we had to wait for the pom
toons to be transferred from the crossing
al the creek.
While we were lying idly under the
trees we were startled by the shrek of
two large shells crashing through the tree
was raised, "Rebel gunboats," and in q
few minutes our camp was almost en-
tirely deserted and the river bank was
thronged by curious spectators to see the
''darned thing shoot" This unexpected
movement on our part disconnected the
crew of the gunbOat, and fearing some
Yankee trick they steamed rapidly up the
river, whence they came, after three
rounds of their two-gun battery, leaving
q large but disappointed audience to la
ment the short duration of the show.
After the gunboat had disappeared, 0
party of our foragers crossed the rivel
into South Carolina, and captured rebe
Major and private, together with some
mal-bags and several fine horses.
During the afternoon we crossed th'
Ebenezer River and reconnoitered five
miles of the road to Savannah, discover

CANCER.
Recent Discoveries Made for It's Cure.

DIR. Benjamin F. Bye, the Cancer spe-
cialist, of indianapolis. Ind, emphatically
denies that the recent discoveries made
by some New York specialists of the cause
of cancer, had anything to do with his re-
cent discovery of an oil that cures cancer.
The doctors ground for denial is well
founded, for the fact that his discovery
was reported before the New York doe
tors began their Investigations The In
dianapOlis doctor has recently published
a new book on the subject, and says he is
going to send out the entire first edition
to all those afflicted where their names
and addresses are furnished.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.


R. G. Dun & Cos Weekly Review of
Trade" says: Varying weather has pro-
duced erratic fluctuations in prices and
affected business very differently, accord.
ing to locality. Retail distribution os
merchandise has maintained good av..
erage. Manufacturing plants are well
employed, except where wage disputes
interrupt. Coffee and silver touched low
record prices, but the average Of COM
modities advanced.
Manufacturers of cotton goods are
still behind with deliveries. Wool moves
slowly.
Lack of moisture has checked the
wheat growth in the Southwest and
snow has retarded farm work in some
spring wheat States, but it is probable
that there is the customary exaggeration
of damage reports for speculative pur-
poses. Corn receipts for the week
reached I,3o447o bushels, against I,13S,-
3o8 a year ago. Meats were well sus-
tanned. Cotton rose to the top point OF
the season.
Failures for the week numbered 21z
in the United States, against 2I5 last
year, and I8 in Canada, against 20 a
year ago.

sage Ep,grams.

Intelligence, industry, honesty and
Thrift produce wealth, and those who
possess such qualities are best fitted for
its custody.
Persons who arc unable to acquire
money are necessarily not capable of its
proper use or care.
So long as some men have more sense
and more self-control than others, just
so long will such men be wealthy.
1t is just as wicked to intrust some
men with large amounts of money as it
would be to put an idiot in charge OF an
express train.
The chief responsibility of the man OF
wealth is in using his money for pur-
poses that will do the greatest good to
the greatest number.
1t is observable that the very rich men
of today are far more democratic than
ever before in the history Of the world.

remind us when in the kitchen. and to
which we have no desire TO return.

of the dealer. and often the name OF
the dairy farm from whence the but

sanitary method of handling butter,
which is a highly absorbent COM
pound, and ought to be always closely
wrapped and isolated in the ice chest,
with the old-style way of weighing the
butter often on a pair of dirty scales,
slapping 1t in little pieces on piece OF
white paper. and then wrapping 1t in
coarse straw paper.
"Then, when our grandmothers
wished n dozen or so of eggs, they
were dropped in paper bag, and often

his breakfast coffee. It's all changed,
