the Big Black IN May, 1868 His
daughter married the son OF that Mr.

ISOLATION with the field of our opera
tons, nearly 40 years ago, led to a
very pleasant acquaintance, and the
colonel told me a good many stories
OF the Vicksburg, and other cam
paignS.
AT the time Grants army was
maneuvering south and east of Vicks-
burg Montgomery was chief of the
confederate scouts, ind posted his men
at the crossings o. the Big Black
river to watch the movements of the
union army. On one occasion, when
the scouts in blue came up on the op-
posite side there was brisk firing, but
it was not effective. After a day or

crates became FESTIVE, fearing they
were being held at that particular
point to serve some purpose of the
union commander.
1T seemed, however, that the Yanks
were as FESTIVE or as tired of the use
less firing as the rebs, for one rainy
day the officer in command of the
union slirmishers made his way to
the extreme front, and shouted across
the river: Hello, Johnny. who is in
command over there?" Montgomery,
under cover, replied that he was, and
asked what was wanted The union
officer answered that he was tired of
the durn fool firing; that it was a
waste of ammunition without doing
any good for either side, and pro-
posed that they agree to stop it. and
| that there be no more shooting except
one party or the other attempted to
cross the river.
Montgomery expressed his willing
ness to discuss the matter, but asked
the union officer to take the initiative
by standing up and waving his hand
kerchief. The officer did su, and Mont
gomery stood up also. Thereupon the
Yank said: What is the use of shoot

LATE LOVE STORIES.
Two of Them Are Cheerful and One
of Them Is fearful.
And That Is just the Way 1t Goes I'm
Real Life-An Elopement at Mid
niSht-FuneraI Instead
of Wedding.

Jacob S. Rosenthal, of Cincinnati
vent about his cOurtship in a strange
way. He represents a New York house,
and in the course of his travelling stopped
at Indianapolis. He used the tele-
phone on numerous occasions and fell
In love with the voice of the telephone
operator. He proposed marriage over
the telephone and was accepted.
The two made an appointment to meet
and look at each other. They were not
disappointed. They decided on an inn
mediate marriage and at two o'clock in
the morning hunted up Magistrate Stout
at his home, reused him out of bed, and
had the ceremony performed, the magis-
trate in his night garments.
The father of the groom took the mat
ter philosophically and said that his son
was old enough to take care of his own
heart as well as his purse.
Miss Bessie McNeal, of Wayne, Neb,
also had a peculiar sort of wedding
She escaped from Wayne in boys cloth
ing with Henry A. Blunt and was mar
ried at Sioux City in the presence of her
stepmother and all her relatives. The
getaway in boys clothing was just to
| add dash of romance to the affair They
had been caught on the runaway by their
stepmother and had been brought back
to Wayne. There everything was talked
over and it was agreed to permit the
marriage. So the wedding party set out
for Sioux City and there the marriage
| took place. The bride wore her hair tied
with ribbon and hanging down her
| back.
Instead Of the wedding which was to
have taken place between Oscar Hill and
Miss Mary Morrison, the funeral of Oscar

VITALITY AND PLUCK,
Terrible Wound Did Not Deter n Sol
der Boy from Leading
Charge.

AS an instance of remarkable vitality
and pluck ] believe a surgical case we
had at the battle of Lexington, Mo, In
September, 1861, will equal ANYTHING
during the war, says the American Trib-
une.
A member Of company E, Thirteenth
Missouri, was struck by a cannon ball
which carried away his arm and Shout
der, and also lacerated his chest. This
happened about four D. m the first day
a our fight. The boy was picked IN
and carried to the hospital, but as the
ease was considered hopeless and many
others to attend TO, nothing was done
Tor him until IL p. m, when all the other
wounded Rad been cared for. Finding
him still alive he was carried to the
table and his wounds carefully dressed
but with no expectation ofrecovery. On
the seventh day Prices men captured our
hospital, which was in a brick building
some 500 yards to our right, and our
wounded were put In cellar to be out
Of the way Of bullets. When our man
shArxed to retake the hospital this boy

planned that his quarters were in a
house near, where he had abundant
supplies, including some very good
whisky, and if the Johnny would come
over they could refresh the inner man
while they were discussing the agree
ment as to shooting.
Montgomery conferred with his
men, and every one of them was against
the adventure. However, Montgomery
decided to accept the invitation, and,
jumping into small boat, rowed
across. He was received Hospitality,
was taken to the captains headquar-
tiers, and was given the best of ali
that was in the house. AS the rain
still continued, he was persuaded to
stay all night, and slept in the same
room with his host. He awoke during
the night, and wondered what had
happened to him, and where he was.
Bewildered, he sat up in bed.
after rubbing his eyes, he recalled
the incidents of the day, and wondered
If he had walked into a trap. Just
then his host said: Better than
sleeping out in the rain, isn't 1t? l
tell you, captain, there is no sense in
plugging away at each other across
the river Both lay down again, and
the next morning Montgomery re-
turned to his side of the river, his
men viewing his start toward them
with amazement. He explained the
situation, and for time the men on
the Big Black stood guard without
shooting.
This incident was, of course, the
merest trifle, when considered in its
relation to the battles at Jackson,
Champions Hill, and the Black River
bridge, or when considered in associa-
ton with the great campaign that Gull
minated in the siege and fall of Vicks-
burg. In the rush Of tremendous
events, 1t was forgotten by the two
participants, who, swept apart by
the high tide of war, never saw or
heard of each other again. Mont
gomery does not remember even the
name Of the union officer who enter
tanned him on the Big Black, but If
that officer should ever step off the
train at Edwards Station, he would
meet with a royal welcome from at
least one old confederate"

SOLDIERI SOLDIERl

Soldier,
Soldier!
Swart Of face and 1.-THE of limb.
Lips that smile and still are grim
1t is fine to see you come
Swinging with the rolling drum.
Swaying to the trumpet song
AS you swiftly march along
Soldier!
Soldier!
How the bayonets all swerve
When your ranks come round the curve
With the banner that you servei
There's a tingle in each nerve;
And the blood begins 20 thrill
AS the blood of battle will.
Soldier!
SoldierI
When you come with clanl< Of steel,
Cinking spurs ana rumbling wheel
Then we hear the roar that pealed
over some far battlefield;
Hear the rushing of wild feet
And the shock when foemen meet.
Soldier.
Soldier!
When you come in this array,
Then we look away-away-
Where the crushing battle sound
Quivers through the shaking ground,
And the brazen bugle calls
over parapets and walls.
Soldier!
Soldieri
Wnen they bring YOU home some day
Bring you back from out the fray
We may stand and look and weep
Where you fold your hands in sleep,
But the bugle and the fife
And the drum will call to life
All the memories of you
When you swung across our view.

Hill occurred from the brides home, 667
Mississippi street, st. Paul.
The gay bridal garments, which had
all been made, and other incidentals to
he ceremony which had been provided,
were laid aside in an unoccupied room,
and the young woman who was to have
been Joined for life to the man Of whom
death had robbed her was arrayed in
mournful black. The priest who had az
ready been engaged to perform the mar
rage ceremony read the funeral service.
The end of the engagement of Mr.. Hill
and Miss Morrison came on Monday,
when the intended groom died at Be
thesda hospital of appendicitis. The
stricken man was taken i'll two weeks
before, but the nature of his affliction
was not known at first. His physicians
held out assuring hopes to the anxious
man and the more anxious young wo-
man, who was constantly at his bedside
to attend him.
Finally, his condition not improving,
he was advised to go to the hospital The
exact state of his condition was carefully
kept from the solicitous youzg woman,
| and she was told that he would be out OF
the hospital entirely we'll before the day
set for the wedding Preparations, there
fore, were carried on, and as the day
drew near everything was in readiness.
Monday, however, came a fatal re-
lapse, and all that his physicians could
, do for him was Of no avail. In the even
Ing he died, while his intended bride was
putting the finishing touches to the
gown she was to have worn at her we'd
ding.
Gently the sad news of the death Of her
intended husband was broken to the
Inflated girl. So Frustrated was she by
the news that she was carried to her bed,
where she was carefully attended by
sympathizing friends. She recovered
sufficiently to be present at the funeral.

HOME FROM IRELAND.
Hearty Greeting Extended to Father
Harrington by Pensioners.

Rev. Father Harrington, pastor of the
Ascension parish, returned Monday
morning from a two months visit in
Ireland, England and France, and that
evening he was rendered a public re-
ception in the old church by his parish
toner's and friends. In spite of the fact
that he was expected later in the week
and that the elements were at their
worst, a large gathering was present
to greet the pastor. John Kennedy
acted as chairman of the meeting and
delivered am address of welcome in
which he spoke with appreciation of
the work accomplished by Father Har-
rington since he came to the Ascension
church and of the progress made by
the parish. AS closing feature of the
address, as he told that the members
of this church were nothing if not prac-
teal, he presented Father Harrington,
in behalf Of his people, a well-filled
purse and handsomely inscribed adj
dress which he thought would convey
the feelings of the esteem in which the
Rev. Father Harrington is held better
than any address that he could make.
When Father Harrington entered the
building he was greeted with prolonged
