An Old Poem Wanted.

iComrade ]. n. Shafter, Ciudad Por-
firio Diaz. Coahuila, Mex, wants the
poem "On the Rappahannock," which
he says was written under the follow
ing circumstances:
The Union army lay on one side Of
the Rappahannock and the Confeder-
ate on the other. The Confederate
band, just in the gray of the evening,
played a piece of music especially
adapted to their sentiments and feel
ings. This brought cheers from their
comrades. A moment later the Union
band played a responsive piece appro-
pirate to their line of thought. This
brought cheers from the Union boys
The Confederate band in response play
ed a piece well known to both sides
This solicited cheers and shouts from
the combined armies. In response ia
this piece the Union band played
Home. Sweet Home" and every head
in hearing of the band was respectfully
uncovered At least, this is my recol-
lection, as told in the verses of the

The 117th Ill.

Editor National Tribune: I want to
write a few lines to let the comrades
thru the country know that there was
such regiment in the T. S. service as
the 117th Ill. 1 have read The Ma
tional Tribune a great deal. but have
never seen anything in it from any of
my comrades. tho I may have over
looked their contributions. The 11Ith
was not made up of reporters or news
paper men. but of hardworking boys
from the farms and workshops, there
fore / suppose it is not strange that
they have not rushed into print but /
did expect to hear from some of them
once in while. The regiment was
mustered into service at Camp Butler,
Ill. Sept. 49, 1862, by Capt. Washing
ton, of the L. S. Army, with Col. r. NJ.
Moore, of Lebanon. as its Colonel. and
braver man than he never lived.
When shells and bullets flew thick and
fast and there was nothing for the
regiment to do but stick to it's job. the
Colonel would, at the risk of his life,
ride along the line and tell the boys to
lie down, thereby. undoubtedly, saving
many a poor fellows life. He would
never dismount, as 1 have seen other
field officers do. However, / did not
mean to enter upon panegyric of this
regiment for what 1t has done, because,
like all the others it went in to serve
its country and assist in putting down
the rebellion. 1t did its full share of
picket duty. marching and fighting,
with honor to the country and its MEM
bers. The regiment has a regular or
ganization. and holds its Reunions oncs
a year, and expects to keep it up as
long as there is man left. L hope
that every surviving member of the
l17th who may chance to read this
and has not attended the Reunions will
make up his mind to do so in future

The Next National Encampment.

Editor National Tribune: At a recent
meeting of Burkholder Post. 1l5, De-
partment of Ohio, the question of the
wisdom of the choice of Saratoga, n. Y
as the place of holding the next NationaL
Encampment of the G.. A. r. was dis
cussed. The fact that the population of
Saratoga is largely composed of tenn
pOrary occupants of hotels, and aside
from the attractions of a great watering
place, the town has but few points Of
interest, it is thought not a place where
the plain rank and file of the veterans
could best enjoy themselves. Therefore
it was voted that this Post express,
through the columns of The National
Tribune, its desire. in common with the
wishes Of the many comrades thruout
the West, that the matter of location
for holding the next Encampment be
reconsidered, and that Cincinnati or
some other city of the central West be
chosen.-J. =. Miller, Adjutant pro
tenn, Yellow Springs. o.

No Grand Army Day at jamestown.

There will be no Grand Army Day"
at the jamestown Exposition for vari-
Gus reasons. it having been deemed by
the managers as impolitic and imprac-
ticable; but. however. there will be a
day set aside for the blue and gray.
There will be n number of patriotic
organizations holding their conventions
at the Exposition. and a number of Re-
unions of Federal and Confederate vet
Grams, but they will be Reunions Of
regiments instead of Reunions of the
entire army.
The Veterans Association of the Blue

for "Blue and Gray Day" but has ac-
cepted the Exposition's invitation.-L.

ment of the Potomac. C. A. r. The
resolution was unanimously adopted.
1t is the opinion of Col. Urell. as
well as of other fighting men, that a
soldiers service to his country in It's
hour of need becomes his proudest her
itage: that when he answers the hnas
roll call he will be inferred with mill
tary honors IN one of the "bivouacS OF
the dead" as the poet has beautifully
designated the National Soldier Gene
teries; that there will be the three
crashing volleys of rifle fire over his
new-made grave. and then the final,
plaintive taps" lights out" the SOL
dier's last good night.
To bury the remains of any but SOL
diers in these cemeteries is repugnant
to the men who wore the blue of 1851
65 and the blue and khaki of 1898.
Such interment, while it would not add
to the prestige of the distinguished
citizens other than soldiers" would de-
tract from the patriotic sentiment which
clusters about the hallowed and silent
cities of the soldier dead.
The Grand Army veterans will fight
the proposed measure. 1t is said. The
younger soldiers of the War with Spain
will touch elbows with them in the
fight

The proposition advanced by Com
mander-in-C n-Chief Chas. r. Miller. of
Cleveland, o., at the recent National
Encampment of the U. S. w. V. in
Washington. favoring the creation OF
n first army reserve to be composed of
soldiers of the late War with Spain, is
meeting with favor in military circles
ut the Capital. 1t is said, also, that
President Roosevelt looks with favor
upon the project.
''The seasoned and drilled soldiers
who were whipped into shape by their
| officers for active service in the War
with Spain will make a most excellent
Army reserve DIVISION" said Maj. ].
r. Walton, a veteran Army officer
Such a reserve could take the field
soon after war is declared to follow the
lead of the excellent American Regu-
lars, and | know they would render a
good account of themselves. Command
er Miller's proposition is an excellent
| one, and 1 believe the Government will
take the right sort of action and profit
by it."
Another Army officer who favors the
Army reserve plan declared 1t to be his
| belief that in this chaotic and unsettled
age another foreign war appears to him
to be inevitable. Therefore, he hopes
Congress will take action to make the
proposed Army reserve of Spanish war

The present temporary Home Is in a
rented building which is much too
small for the purposes for which it is
now used. Its condition is also insani-
tary and the institution is without q
hospital ward, which is much needed.
Soldiers and sailors from the several
States who come to Washington on
pension or other business and become
INDECENT while here realize the neces-
sity for temporary abode where they
can receive board and lodgings without
cost until they complete their business
and are able to return to their homes.
The doors of the institution are open
to both soldiers and sailors of the war
of the rebellion as we'll as those of the
Spanish american War. Owing to Il
lack of hospital facilities several deaths
have occurred there, one or two of
them being of a particularly pathetic
nature. Recently a venerable veteran
of the sos passed away there far from
home and friends in distant California.
