GRAVES OF CONFEDERATES.
Cost Of Marking the Resting Place
of Those Who Died in
the North.

Secretary Root lately forwarded to
the senate military committee. a MEN,
orandum prepared by Quartermastsr
General Ludington i'll regard to the
bill introduced by Senator Foraker 10
provide for the appropriate marking
of the graves of the soldiers OF the
confederate army and navy and direct
ing the secretary of war to ascertain
the localities and condition of the
graves of such soldiers who died IN
federal prisons and military hospitals
in the north during the civil war, and
who were buried near their places Ut
confinement, reports the Washington
Star.
Gen. Ludington said that it appears
that 3O,152 confederate prisoners, of
war were buried in 80 localities
throughout the country, many having
been buried in trenches, as in the case
of the confederates removed from Fort
Delaware and Pla Patch island. Pa,
to the Finnis Point national cemetery,
New Jersey. He said that it would be
impracticable to identify individual
graves, Notwithstanding the names Of
the persons may be found on record.
He also states that the appropriation
of 100000 made by the bill is made
quate for the purpose, the headst ones
costing $2.13 each at the place of manu-
facture, to which $1.25 approximately
should be added for handling, trans
portation and setting. An estimate Of
100000 is submitted for the work.

A WARTIME HEROINE.
How the Daughter of John NJ. Palm.
er StoOd-O6 n Band Of
-sa..s Guerillas.

There is a story connected with the
earlier life of the late, John NJ Palmer,
of Illinois, that, though told before,
will bear repeating, says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
It was nearing the close of the civil
war. Gen. Palmer, on one of his vis-
it's to his home at Carlinville, had
brought with him negro boy, Martin,
from the south, and had turned him
over to the care of his family when he
went back to the army.
It was not long before it became evi-
dent that the whole proceeding was
obnoxious to the southern sympathiz-
ers living in the little town, and there
were many. The Palmer family heard
vague whispers about the 'guerrillas,"
then flourishing about the country,
and they kept Martin close at home.
But early one morning, when the
sun was just reddening the east, q
band of about 80 masked men rode to
the house to demand the boy. Con-

"I'LL SHOOT THE FIRST MANI"

sternation reigned inside when the
family heard the noise, for there were
no men in the hous>a fact the band
outside very probably knew.
Then Miss Bette, the 1s-year-old
daughter of the house, took command.
Her brown eyes flashed as the) knock
ing became imperative, and taking
down a pistol from the shelf, ordered
the ashen-hued Martin to 60 to his
room and lock himself in. She said
afterward that he had turned from
coal-black to a leaden gray, after the
manner of frightened darkies. Then
to the door she stepped and opened it.
"What do you want?" she demand
ed bravely, but with quick-beating
heart.
eve want the boy, Martini the
spokesman answered, land be quick
about it, too. We know he's here"
"Well, you can't have him." said
Miss Bette, land I'll shoot the first
man that tries to step into the housed"
and she flourished the revolver un-
flinchingly. The men cursed a little
and made threats, but no one offered
to move toward the determined little
lady, and, after whispered consulta-
ton, galloped away.
Then Miss Bette went into the
house-and wept. But she was called
"the daughter of her father" and a
heroine, and was presented with fine
pistol that to-day she shows to grown
up children.

he devours while the blood of his prey
is yet warm with life,'" read Uncle
Will from the book, "'he lis stupid

hour passed without halt. Twenty
minutes for dinner was the only halt
in more than IS miles. With the aft
ernoon the pace of the hurried march
increased. The reason thereof was
evident. Great clouds of white smoke
rising over yonder ground tops," and
the boom! boom! boom! of distant
cannon told that the battle was on.
The heat increased. Thirst was in
tense. The power of endurance was
almost exhausted, when refreshment
came in an unexpected manner. Farm
ers having spiked boards on top of
their door yard fences were drawing
water in barrels, and the women and
children, God bless them, with cups,
bowls and basins, were dipping the
cool water and placing it within the
thirsty soldiers reach. Men would
rush from the ranks, drink the re-
freshing draught and double-quick
back into place. Among the many
monuments that mark deeds of valor
on that field of carnage should be one

cold water to the soldiers en- that

SOLDIERS ON THE MARCH.
Suffering SIS of the Men on Long Ira ,nps
with Heavy Loads in had
Weather. %<4L

Marching is often more trying than
fighting. The results of a campaign
may be determined as really by the
heroism of the march as by herofsm
of the battle. The private soldier
must carry his equipment and provi-
sions. In the '6O's these consisted of
a knapsack containing his clothing,
piece of tent, blankets and such toilet
articles and writing materials as he
chose to carry. His haversack con-
tanned three days rations, consisting
of pork, bareback, sugar and coffee;
also knife, fork, spoon, plate and tin
cup. The knapsack, haversack and
canteen for water were supported by
straps over his shoulders. The belt
supported the cartridge box, contain
ing 40 rounds, each bullet of an ounce
weight, cap box and scabbard for the
bayonet. In addition to this was the
musket; mine-the heaviest in the
company--with the bayonet, weighed
1874 pounds. The total weight was
usually about As pounds. In wet
weather much more, says the Epworth
Herald.
Troops march by the flank in col
umns of tours, using the route step.
They ordinarily cover IL or Is miles
per day., Under urgent conditions
they are sometimes forced to Is or
even 30 miles in day. In the Gettys-
burg campaign the army of the Poto-
mac marched 125 miles in four days,
and the Sixth corps, on July 2, made
the unprecedented march of over 40
miles.
On July 1, 1868, $1,000 men under
Gems. Reynolds and Howard unexpect-
eddy came face to face with over 100000
confederates a little west of Gettys-
burg. The terrible fighting of that
day resulted in the death of Gen.
Reyonlds and the union troops being
forced back to Cemetery Hill. Gen.
Meade ordered the army to Gettys-
burg. His courier found the Sixth
corps at Manchester, Nd, midway be-
tween Baltimore and Gettysburg.
After wandering in the woods half the
night the corps filed upon the pike at
sunrise, July 2, and without breakfast
began the race for Gettysburg. The
troops were worn with long marching
and weary from loss of sleep. Some
of the men suffered with bleeding feet.
A few were barefooted and all with
shoes well worn. The sun rose with
fervent heat. The mercury soon
reached the COS. The dust, fine and
powdery, covered the marching col
umn as with q cloud. Hour after

Washington's body servants and the

some day. It isn't in the nature of
things for them to live always. One
of the last-named has just passed away

too. His name was B. w. Loring, and
he was a lieutenant in the United

up, just as it has this evening.

Then why didn't you?"
"Uncle Will, told you once. Nurse

"And then what happened?"
II bit the horrid old nurse, that's
what I did,"
"Just like the lion when he is
hungry" suggested Uncle Will, kissing
the childish forehead tenderly.
"Snarling and biting, and saying bad,
bad words,' he added as if to himself;
'just>like the lion. am surprised and
shocked to think that my nephew
would do such things"
Bobby cuddled closer to Uncle Will,
and hid his face.
81 was hungry" he murmured.
Uncle Will smiled, and stroked the
.downy cheek. To be hungry explained
so much! Even the ravenous lion was
docile when his hunger had been sat-
isfed. And wherein lay the difference?
Boy-lion; lion-boy? Uncle Will had
been hungry himself. Once, in the
Philippines, on long march, he had
been so terribly hungry it had seemed
to him he would have to break the
military rules for the sake of food,
even at risk of being court-martialed.
He had bitten no one, it was true; but
as he now thought of that time it ap-
peared to him his salvation had rested
in the fact that he had not been for
hidden to bite. The first sign of OPP
position would have thrown him and
many another into open revolt.
He condensed this chain of thought
into q few simple words, and Bobby
listened while he told of that fearful
march, and of the reward of waiting
that came with the sinking sun.
"Uncle WILL" said Bobby, drowsily,
as the narrative drew to close, ibid
