A GUARD-HoUsE TRAGEDY.
One of the Sad Incidents Growing Out
of the Presence of Black Sheep
in the Army.

The army when in camp was like
family of restless boys, who, though
often pickering and scuf1ing among
themselves about trifiing matters,
needed very little of anything serious
to rouse them to a sense of brother
hood. There were exceptions to the
rule, however, says William Stone in
writing of his experiences in the
American Tribune, and most of us can
remember some dismal tragedy of
camp and post life due to the presence
of black sheep.
In the spring of 1864, while acting
as nurse in the post hospital at Fort
Ieavenworth, Kansas, l was surprised
and shocked one day to see brought
into my ward a young recruit of my
regiment, the Eleventh Ohio cavalry,
by the name of Huson, who had been
shot in the bowels, and who, the doc
tor assured US from the first, had but
little while to live, for the wound
was necessarily fatal had pre-
viously been greatly attached to the
young man, who was fine fellow and
belonged to an excellent family in
Richland county, Ohio. He had a
young wife and three children at,home
and 1 certainly did all in my power to
save the life 50 precious to them,
knowing how frequently doctors were
mistaken as to the chances of a pa
TENTS recovery, but all in vain, for
four days afterward, on the 17tn of
April, he died, his greatest anxiety
being that his people at home should
not be made acquainted with the cir
cumstances that led to his death.
He had been accused one day of
stealing a pocketbook while in the
barracks, and when he Indignantly de-
MED the charge, search was instituted
and the missing article was found by
the officers hidden in his bunk. 1t
was some time afterward found that
it had been designedly placed there

DESTROYED THE STOVE.
Confederate Shot Which Carried
Away the AdmiraFs Kitchen and
His Christmas Dinner.

I was one of the crew of the flag
ship Black Hawk, of the Mississippi
squadron, Admiral Lee commanding,
relates F. D. Hawlette, in the Ameri-
can Tribune. During the fight be-
tween Hood and Thomas, at Nashville,
the flagship lay in the Ohio. The adj
miral went on board the Curlew with
a part of his crew, and started up the
Cumberland river, with the Neosha as
an escort. The confederates had a. bat
terry at the Great Bend, and when
fire on us, the third shot going
through the admiral's kitchen, where
a co1ored cook was preparing Christ
mas dinner. That ball struck the
stove, dumping stove, turkey, table
and dinner into the river.
We dropped down the river, giving
the saucy little Neosha chance. The
little monitor returned their fire, the
first shot dismounting one of their
guns, the second striking point blank
another in the muzzle and splitting it
from end to end
The captain now ordered a charge
by the marines, which was repulsed;

Here is square box house of six

is "a by 80 feet exclusive of the front
porch, and it may be built for from
81 300 to $1,000 under favorable condi-

apparatus. The front hall connects
directly with the kitchen, there is a
comfortable stair leading from the
kitchen to cellar and the dining-room
Is shut off from the kitchen by two
doors by way of the pantry. The back
porch is a sort of summer addition
to the kitchen. Being built in un-

The sink is directly in front of the
window, and the kitchen range is

above learned from the wounded man
while he lay in my charge, and we
were both greatly puzzled by the con-
duct of the guard, who seemed, with
out any adequate motive, to have act
ed toward the unhappy prisoners with
unparalleled treachery. But the day
before he died the mystery was clear
ed up to him TIE personal enem.
who he was quite sure had placed in
his bunk the stolen pocketbook which
led to his arrest and Imprisonment
although he had been unable to nro-
duce the kind of proofs necessary to
convict him and clear himself-hap-

fort This enemy, when approached on
the subject, at once accepted the bride,
and promised to assist the escape of
the prisoners when it was his turn to
be on guard, which would be from
eleven p M to one a. m. He carefully
concealed his identity from Huson,
who had contributed his portion of the
bride money without any inquiry as to
who might be the recipient 1t was
customary in the fort at that time to
permit soldiers on guard to obtain a
substitute if they wished, and Huson' s
enemy, who received the bribe with
the secret intention of making his at
tempted escape the means of doing
him still greater injury, had, with
subtle ingenuity, engaged as a sub
stitute for the night a young soldier
from another company, taking care to
keep him in ignorance of the intended
attempt to escape His treacherous de-
sign succeeded only too we'll
