Editor National Tribune: I have been
a resident of this Republic for the past
25 years and am a charter member of
f. o. C. Ord Post, 100, Department of
Tennessee, which was established here
some Is years ago. We hold our meet
ings at the houses of the comrades, and
there is hardly meeting that we do
not have some article in The National
Tribune read for our entertainment
and I can assure you that we all enj joy
it very much. Last month our EInbas-
sador, Mr.. Thompson, gave a dinner to
the Post, at which there were Is com
rades present. While at the dinner we
received from Mrs. DiaZ, wife of the
President, beautiful wreath of flowers
with her compliments. We felt very
highly honored by her attention. PrcSi-
dent DiaZ has always shown us special
favors, and on Decoration Day always
sends us his staff band, which is the
best in the Republic At our last meet
ing Dr. Reyburn, of your city, was with
us.-J. c. Montough, Co. B, 50th Mass,

or nothing. So that office was left va

After the election was over and all
the officers elected, with three or four
left to act as privates we called on our
Second Lieutenant, Mark Twain, for a

also being present., he mounted the
end of an old log and blushingly said:

The Yankees Advance.

The next day or so after going into
camp the news came that the Yankee
army was coming out from Hannibal in
full force, and would leave the railroad
At Monroe City, and, as our informant
told u.s. "they had built n 'spittoon'
our camp The news created much
excitement, and it was quickly de-
cided to put out our pickets.
Sam Bowen, Ed. Stephens and
myself were selected as the most
reliable men, as we were all pilots, and
could keep awake better than the other
boys. Mark Twain, our Lieutenant was
placed in command of the squad, and
we started about dark for our post,
which was about two miles north, and
at the mouth of a lane leading toward
Monroe City. Opposite the mouth of
said lane were some trees and bushes,
where we tied our horses, and then
shook up some dimes in hat in order
to see who should stand first, second
and third watch, as we did not deem il
necessary for all of us to lose our rest
all the time. The first watch fell to
Sergt Bowen, second to myself and
third to Ed. Stephens. Bowen stood at
the mouth of the lane from 8 p. m. TO
II. l took his place to remain until 3

the other boys. Lieut.. Clemens mount

while we all went across to the mouth

the enemy. I stood first, and so COM
manded the view. Presently / saw
Il m rafsa the hill and sservc from
right to left, and at the same time
raised my double-barreled shotgun and
let go both barrels into their ranks. and
without remaining to see how many
were killed we turned and struck out
for our horses. To our horror our
Lieutenant was over 100 yards off and
still going, and we hallooed for him to

and which was an old family relic. Well,
at Col. John Rails I concluded our
Second Lieutenant ought to have a
sword. and requested Col. Rail to
make the presentation speech. This
he did, and Lieut.. Clemens responded,
but do not remember his words.
We then repaired to the prairie, drew
up in line and waited for Capt. Ely to
show up-which he never did from that
day to this. Lieut.. Glasscock then as
sumed command of the Rail County

camp on Salt River, somewhere in the
edge of Monroe County, close by one
story log farmhouse. After we had

meat and occasionally sorghum. That
constituted our entire bill of fare dur
ing the time we remained there, which
was about two weeks, and during our
stay it rained nearly every day or night,
so that Salt River became bankful.
Near or in our camp was located the
log stable belonging to the farmhouse,
which was used as headquarters. A
room or apartment was at each end and
a gangway or passway between about
12 or Is feet wide, all covered witt
clapboard roof, and in this gangway or
passageway we used to cook on account
of the rain. Along on one side was a
large horse trough, in which Lieut..
Clemens used to sleep.

Mark In Hiding.

Many years afterward Mrs. Matson
said that Mark was laid up there for a
long time, and they got a crutch and
cane for him. and that they kept a little
Niger on picket all the time at the
mouth of the lane, and when the little
Niger would be seen running for dear
life toward the house Mark would grab
his crutch and put out for the bushes
in the woods adjoining the yard. BY
the time the little niger would be near
enough to yell. miss Mary, de Yanks
am comm. de Yanks am comin'!" Mark
would be in his hiding place. and there
he remained until notified. Thus ended
Mark Twain's war career. as shortly
after he went to California. and on the
journey west he wrote his first book.

his old shotgun, and said: - you,
Sam, if you don't stop I'll let her go,''
So Sam halted and when we came up,
Bowen still cursing him, Mark says:
paint Brush got so excited / couldn't
hold him in,' So we got mounted, and
away we went at full speed for camp,
leaving our Lieutenant and Paint Brush
far in the rear. and last we heard of
him he was saying: H, you want the
Yankees to capture me!'
When We reached camp the boys
were all up and in line, in all sorts of
rigs-a coat and a pair of shoes hat
and pair of pants. shirt and pair OF
socks, shirt and coat; hat shirt and
one boot, and some in Chinese rig, and
on being told the cause of the firing,
waited breathlessly for the approach
Of the Yanks. Presently there was a
clatter of hoofS coming down the ra-

sigh or relief as he came full tilt. and
never even tried to check Paint Brush

Meeting Gen. Tom Harris.

The boys had all waited to see Sam and
the mule cross, so he slowly and care
fully mounted his mule, and we pro-
ceeded on our journey. No one knew
or cared where we were going, but we
were headed east again. We had not
proceeded very far when we met Gen;
Tom Harris, whom but few of us had
ever seen before, but 1 think Mark
Twain was acquainted with him. He
first order ed us back, but we only
laughed, at the assumed authority IF Il
stranger to JUS. Then he requested us
to turn and, go back to camp, but it was
no go. 4 Then he begged us, but the re-
membrapce of that camp, the sowbelly
and cornbread we had chewed up was
enough for us, SO we rode On and went
to Clay Pfice's ourselves where we
were serSedawith good breakfast, and
then proceeded on our journey east.

began Immediately after the call, accom-

damage In Texas. Most of them, how
ever, were from the same source. Other

There was also q rumor that Price was
about to issue a bullish circular. Bears
of a rash sort who were pyramiding on
their profits. naturally took fright at the
sharp upturn and quite number of them
covered, thus adding to the temporary
strength. The advance from the bottom
amounted to about is points but there
was a reaction before the close which
leaves the final level only points above
last nights close. 1t would be difficult to
find a reason for today's upturn except
