PATRICK WAS A WISE GUY.
He Explains What He Would Do
with His Money If He Had
Lot of Wealth.

According to the Hartford Courant,
group of veterans were telling sto-
ries at the Allyn house, and one of
the number related one about when
his regiment was down in northern
Virginia. He said:
1--WE were sitting around the camp
fire one night, and, for lack of any
thing else to talk about, we began to
tell what we'd do if we had lot Of
money. One soldier said if he had a
pile of money he'd spend it all for
tobacco; another said he'd get out
of the army and go to Europe; one
said he'd buy a yacht, and everybody
had some special object in view ON
which to lavish untold wealth. An
Irishman in the party sat smoking his
pipe, and didn't seem to have much
to say about it. One Of the boys
asked him what he would do if he had
a lot of wealth.

shipbuilding when the metal ship was
in its infancy.
The Moncauk was purchased by q
firm in Richmond, which is now hav-
ing her broken up. The iron sides
will finally go into the melting pot at
some foundry. The contractors en-
gagged in demolishing the old war time
relic have found it difficult to tear the
boat to pieces, so well was she put to-
gether more than 40 years ago. Dyna-
mite is being used to rend apart the
sides of the old ship, but even with
this powerful agent the progress OF
the work is very slow.
This old civil war monitor was a
forerunner Of the modern steel battle
ships of to-day. The vessel, after see
ing service, went out of commission
when the civil war closed. For many
years, with other monitors, she lay at
anchor in the James river, below Rich
mond, but about five years ago she
was taken to one of the northern navy
yards. At the outbreak of the war
with Spain these old vessels were
made ready for service, but were
never in commission. Recently the
Montauk, with several other old YES
sells Of the same type, were condemned
and sold at public auction.

HAS A FINE WAR RECORD.
Oldest Living Color-Bearer Tells How
He Carried the Flag Up Mis-
sionary Ridge.

The following is brief narrative
of the part taken by the Eightieth
Ohio (being part of the Third brig
ade OF E. Smiths division, Fifteenth
corps) in the battle of Missionary
Ridge. I was the color-bearer of the
Eightieth Ohio, and was a member of
| company G. 1 carried the stars and
stripes up Missionary Ridge on that
eventful November Is. James Bur-
ton carried the regimental colors on
the same day, but he was shot before
he dropped he fell over against me.
We started into that battle with full
color-guard, and came out with one
color-bearer killed, one - myself
wounded, and all the color guards
either killed, wounded or captured.
We were on picket duty all the pre-
vious night; in the morning we moved
out, close to Missionary Ridge, and
remained there until about noon, when
we were ordered forward, having to
| pass through an open field before
reaching the foot of the ridge. The
rebels had a fair sweep at us from the
summit Of the ridge with their bat
teries, while we were crossing the
field, and they certainly made it warm
for us until we gained the foot of the
ridge. when their shot and shell
passed over us. We then started up
the side of the ridge, and their in
fantry opened fire upon us; but we
| succeeded in reaching a rail fence,
where we stopped for few minutes.
There was considerable underbrush
from this fence to the top of the
ridge. AS we were climbing over the
fence to gain the shelter of the I'M
derbrush, the Tenth Iowa came back
through our line-they having run out
of ammunition. We went very near
the summit of the ridge and under
their guns, our men having to lie
down to load, in order to be out of
range of the confederates' fire, which,
at this stage of the battle, was COM
ing thick and fast We stopped at
this point, but very short time, as,
the first thing we knew, the confed-
crates came through the railroad tun-
mel and were getting IN our rear. and
we had to get out the best we knew
how. Our first lieutenant, George T.
Robinson; second lieutenant, George
Mawanet, and my son, Simon Darst.
were taken prisoners, with about 400
others of different regiments. 1t was
at this stage of the fight that I was
shot in the left arm, the bullet pass
ing through the bone. I then start
ed back with the colors, and when l
got near the bottom of the ridge
met Joseph Persung, of our company,
and, as I was getting very weak from
loss of blood, l turned the colors over
to him, and I was taken to the hos
pital for treatment

Illinois Man Tells Startling Stories
of His Adventure During
the Civil War.

The man who saved the union lives
in Chicago. He bears innumerable
scars on his body, and is the hero of
many hair-breadth escapes. Each re-
curing date, every battle, skirmish or
accidental discharge of firearms dur
ing the war is the anniversary of the
day on which he was shot, either
through the head or body.
In this way he saved the lives of
thousands of soldiers who otherwise
would have been killed. The business
of his life in those stirring times was
stopping bullets intended for other
people, and he got no thanks for it,
either. With a sublime disregard for
his personal safety, he was always in
the front rank making breastwork Of
himself. When not engaged in actual
battle he was always hustling along
several miles in advance of the army
looking for lead intended for his COM
rades. His body is scared and glazed

No Need to Move Along.

Near the close of the civil war, Gen.
Grant found it necessary to take a
short railroad trip accompanied by his
staff. His aide hustled into the car
riage in which the general intended
to ride, to see that the required num-
Der of seats were vacant.
He saw that Grant and the staff
could sit together, if an old man, who
was a passenger on the train, con-
scented to move forward. Approaching
him, the aide asked:
"Would you mind moving forward.

sit here?"

sit beside me and hang his staff out
