Marching and ForaoIno.

Speaking of the experiences of new
troops, said Sergeant Sam Grim
shaw, reminds me of things that hap
pened on the retreat from Lexington,
KY, in 1862. Our regiment (tne Fifty
second Ohio) was one of the newest,
for it rushed from it's first camp into
arduous campaigning in Kentucky
That march from the Kentucky river
through the rain and mud would have
been hard on the most seasoned
troops, but it was particularly hard on
us. My mouth waters now as 1 think
OF our muddy and hungry company
huddled in the court house at Lexing-
ton.
Our captain, who was afterward
colonel OF the regiment, went out for
aging and came in with three big
boxes of gingerbread. Nothing ever
tasted SO good to me as that ginger
bread, and l never forgot the captain.
In the march to Louisville our com
pany (B) was rear guard, and the men
were SO exhausted they went to sleep
standing. On one occasion l went tc
sleep and was overlooked when the
regiment moved on, and would have
been captured had not John McCook
(Col. Dams brother), shopping along
in the rear, walked me up. 1 never for
got John for that.
when we left Lexington our hav-
ersacks were like Old Mother Hub
bard's cupboard, and, despite the gin
gerbread, we were soon hungry. We
were not allowed to forage, and after
an all days and an all nights march
we were pastured in a meadow along
side OF cOrnfield, the ears at the
roasting stage of development We
were ordered to build fires and cook
the corn, but some of the boys were
so blamed hungry that they could not
wait for the cCrn to cook, but ate it
raw, and others ate it half cooked
and thought it was good That was
our hardest experience in the army
We got the hot end of the poker first
Later in the war, when we were in
Gen. Jimmy Morgan's brigade, and
were cruising down near Gainesville,
Ala, for Hood, there was a good deal
OF foraging in spite of the generals
prejudices against it. There were
good many sheep in the neighborhood
and some Of them fell by the way AS
the boys came in loaded with mutton
they were captured by Gen. Morgans
provost guards, taken to headquarters
despoiled of their mutton, and advised
at disadvantage, but they had their
revenge.
Among those severely reprimanded
at headquarters was a member of the
One Hundred and Twenty-first Ohio
regiment, and he was made the in
strument of revenge. He had noticed
a very likely bloodhound out in the
country, and he went back, killed the
hound, dressed the carcass, and car
ried it into camp by way of division
headquarters. AS he supposed he
would be, he was arrested by order of
Brick Top, adjutant-general of the
division, and compelled to unload his
mutton at headquarters. 1t was pre-
pared for supper for Brick Tops
mess After the supper had been eat
en- the story was told to the boys in
camp, and there was grief in that
| mess for several days."-Chicago In

Both People and Horses Elk
perience Great Difficulty
in Getting Along

Although the winter has been marked
by a series of slippery pavements the
condition Of the sidewalks following the
rain and sect storm on Saturday, was
worse than at any time durlng the winter
There was a coating of ice that covered
the pavements and streets in a solid sheet
which made travel by both man and
beast a burden. As a consequence there
was a small attendance at the churches
and Sunday schools yesterday.
Milk wagons, delivery wagons and in
fact all teams had great difficulty in
getting along.
Horse-shoers IN every section Of the
city old a big business today. Long before
many of the smdth-shops opened this
morning, strings of horses waited to be
rough-shod.
Horses driven by farmers coming into
the city this morning had their hoofs
wrapped in burlap to prevent them from
falling on the ice, owing TO the condition
Of the streets. 1t is an utter lmpossibilty
for horse to keep on its feet unless shod
with sharp pointed shoes.

wlLMINeroN IMPORTERS.

In another column appears an inter-
view with Robert G. Houston. collec-
tor of customs for this district, in
which he shows that the importers OF
Wilmington brought in through the
local custom house goods to the value
Of sl65.oO while at a low estimate the
total imports amount to more than a
million dollars or these imports GER
tain articles come free of duty. yet
while to bring them through the Will
mington Office would not increase the
government receipts or the fees OF the
collector. they would help to swell the
total business Of our Office by which
our commercial Importance is mea-
sured and appropriations for rivers
and harbors gauged.
According to the figures given by the
collector, less than one-sixth OF our
total imports comes through the local
office. Goods brought in by our mer-
chants and finally manufactured or
sold here are released in New York,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and other cit
es The business of the Wilmington
Office is on file in Washington and
when Improvements to our harbor are
asked Of Congress. the most natural
thing is to turn TO these tell-tale re-
ports and estimate our needs accord

that city imports but sl65.OO worth OF
goods in year?" It leaves false

advantage
In the light of these facts it occurs
10 us that our Board OF Trade should
take steps 20 remedy this condition.
Doubtless there are members OF that

and who are urging the construction
Of the Delaware and Chesapeake ship

A woRKHoUsE STORY.

The Sunday Star yesterday printed
q story from recently discharged
guard Of the workhouse IN which the
management Of the institution is criti-
cised in several particulars. The guard
declares that he was left single handed
TO guard the institution for hours at
time without a knowledge Of the
combination Of the cell locks. and with
the keys Of the outer doors on his per-
son. IN case of IRE or Of the sickness
OF a prisoner he says he would have
be-n unable to open the cells: and had
there been an outbreak he could have
been overpowered. the keys taken away
from him. and a general jail delivery
would have resulted.
There Is enough in the charge TO de-
mand an investigation. even though II
comes from a discharged man. From
the nature of things the warden ha.
great powers. and he is interested II
having the public know that he ia no
abusing them. There are no greai
difficulties involved in sitting thfs an,
other charges. and we trust that {
will be done. There seems TO be som,
misapprehension Of one OF the chic

The Rev. Samuel Jones has been

He says that Texas wants the Panama
canal and that the people OF that State
would receive more good from It than
from hundred Democratic Presidents.
Samuel says the interests of the coun-
try are opposed to the selection Of a
Democratic President anyway. Demo-
Gratis have sense enough to run cities
and States, but the national govern
ment seems to be too big FOR them. The

NOMINATED FOR GOVERNOR.

Today we print a letter from a val
ued correspondent from a Sussex town
In which Joseph T.. Holland OF Milford
is named as candidate for Governor
on the Democratic ticket. II is a
pleasure - receive these political sug-
gestions, even from those Of the OPP
posite party, as they are interesting to
the people Of all parties.
The members OF one party frequently
remark that they are not Interested in
the candidates Of another party but
after all we are bound to be concerned
about the personality OF those who may
possibly represent us in an Official ca
pacity. The highest view demands
that not only the candidates Of our
party shall be competent and clean.
but the candidates of the opposing
party also. We trust that in the next
campaign the Democrats win put up
the ablest and cleanest men they have
and then If Republicans can't match
them they deserve to lose.
To return to our correspondents let
ter, 1t occurs to us that in urging Mr..
Holland there is an appeal to the bet
ter element Of the party. Mr.. Holland
is a merchant who has amassed a con-
siderable fortune without making
enemies in doing It. He is one OF
those citizens, few Of which are
found in every community. who by en-
terprise, business sense and integrity
help TO give it character. It is such
men in both parties that we need tc
bring to .he front.
