"Aunt Lizziev at Memphis.

In July the hospital of the Sixth IL
inois was ordered to Memphis, which
then had been in the hands of the
federal troops two months, and was
considered safe from attack. Aunt
Lizzie" accompanied this excursion to
the South. Although a great number
of the wounded at Paducah had been
sent home, there remained to be
cared for about $50 men. These were
carefully carried on board the steam
er Prima Donna, and under escort of
a gunboat the trip down the Missis-
sippi began. Surgeon Niglas left the
boat at Cairo, and the entire floating
hospital was given into the charge of
Aunt Lizzie" Aiken and Mothers
Sturgis. Memphis was reached July
FL. In November the Sixth Illinois
cavalry was ordered South, but Sur
geon Niglas did not deem it advisable
for the two women to take part in
this invasion of the enemy's country.
Accordingly they were left at Mem
phis, places having been found for
them upon the staff of the Ovington
Hospital.
Aunt Lizzie" had charge of ward
A of this institution, in which were
more than hundred sick and wound
early part of January, 1863. Just after
Christmas she received a note stating
that her brother, Bertrand. had been
brought to the Jefferson Hospital with
900 other invalid soldiers. She hur-
ried to the building and found the
street in front of the place crowded
with stretchers. standing in the snow
The men in them were almost skele
tons; they had been recaptured from
a southern prison, in which they had
cen almost starved to death. AUNT
Lizzie passed among them, looking
anxiously for her brother-the young
est of the family. At last a gaunt
man raised up and said family: -Oh,
Lizzie, how much you look life moth
err" 1t was Bertrand. but if he had
not spoken she never would have
recognized him. The boy was imme-
diately taken to her own hospital,
where she and Mrs. Sturgis made
every effort to nurse him back to
health. After months of illness he
was sent to his home. and thence for
a visit to his mother in the East,
where he died, while his sister was
still attending the wounded at Mem
phis.

Frederick Holbrook of Vermont, who
recently passed his ninetythird birth
day, is the only one of the famous
war governors" now surviving. He
stood with Cows. Curtin of Pennsyl-

could give. Among the beneicent in

were cared for at once, and the ma

are earned by the large German class
known as heimarbeiter, or home work

less than 100000 children, some of
them only three years old. Nearly all
the German toys are made by them.
For sixty wooden soldiers, on which
an adult and three children work
thirty hours. about twenty-nine cents
is paid. Colored masks bring half a
