ceneraI HickenIooper.

Gen. Andrew Hickenlooper was one
of the noted artillery officers of the
civil war Unlike Hunt, Webster,
Mendenhal1 and others who made
fine records in the artillery service,
Hfckenlooper came into service from
civil life and without military educa-
ton or training. He had had six
years experience in the work of a
civil engineer when the war came,
and mainly because of this experience
was made captain of the Fifth Ohio
battery in August. 1861.
He went at once into active SER
vice and in the course of year was
appointed chief of artillery of the Sew
enteenth corps of the Army of the
Tennessee and later chief " the artil-
lery of the Army of the Tennessee.
Still later he commanded brigade in
Sherman's army and was with it in
march through the Carolinas-
General John d. Webster, Grant,
chief of staff and chief of artillery at
Shiloh, was twenty-six years older
than Hicken1ooper and came into the
army with sixteen years service in
the regular army to his credit. At
Shiloh he concentrated his batteries
in the afternoon of the first day )
battle on the ridge that covered
Pittsburg Landing and successfully
beat on the enemy.

Called 1t a Fair EXCHANGE.

Gen. Edward L. Molineux related to
a group of friends the other evening
this anecdote of his experience when
in charge of the exchange of prison
ers in Georgia in the civil war, after
Sherman's March to the Sea-: In
one instance there was a non-commis-
stoned officer of the Union army
whom Gen. Molineux was anxious to
have exchanged, but he had no Con-
federate prisoner to give back in re-
turn. He told the Confederate officer
detailed to negotiate exchanges his
predicament, and after an extended
conference the Confederate officer
made this proposition: That Gen. Mol
ineux should give to him a bottle OF
whisky like that he had drank in Mol
ineux's quarters, also a quire of letter
paper and a package of envelopes
The negotiations were mutually sat
isfactory, and Gen. Molineux got his
man and the Confederate officer Sc
cured what was of most value to him.
