In the Memories of a Hospital Ma
tron" a writer who was head of a Con-
federate hospital during the war, re
lates this exciting incident:
"Our steward. a meek little man,
came TO me one day, pale with fright
and said that the convalescents had
stormed the bakery. taken out the
half-cooked bread and scattered it
about the yard, beaten the baker and
threatened to hang he steward
hurried TO the scene to throw myself
into the breach before the surgeon
should arrive with the guard and ar
rest the offenders. found the new
bakery ieveled to the ground and POO
excited men clamoring Tor the broad
rhich. ley declared the steward
withheld from them from meanness or
stole for his own benefit
And what do you say Of the ma
tron?' I asked, rushing among them.
DO sou think that she, through whose
hands the bread must pass, is a party
to the theft? Do you accuse nae. who
have nursee you through months Of
illness. making you chicken soup when
We had not seen a chicken for a year
forcing an old breastbone to do duty
for months for those unreasonable fel-
lows who wanted to see the chicken;
me, who gave you a greater variety in
peas than was ever known before and
who lately stewed your rats when the
cook refused to touch them? And this
IS your gratitude. You tear down my
'bakehouse, beat my baker and want to
hang my steward
ITO my surprise the angry men
laughed and cheered. A few days
later there came to me a committee
OF two sheepish-looking fellows to ask
my acceptance Of a ring. Each Of the
poor men had subscribed Something
from his pittance. and their old enemy,
the steward. had been sent to town
to make the purchase. Accompanying
the ring was a bit OF dirty paper on
which was written: For our chief
nRtron, in honor Of her brave con-
duct on the day Of the bread riot -

"In one Of the early campaigns, when
our regiment had the advance, said a
veteran recently. there was a sharp
skirmish in the brush and our boys
supposed the rebs had retreated when
they saw not three hundred yards
away a head thrust out Of the brush

the head came out again and again,
and suspecting an ambush the slir-
