about Moclips, Is 104 years Of age.
Her husband, chief of the Quinalts,
died about 40 years ago. Two OF
her sons still survive, but follow
ing the custom of the Quinalts, who
cast off their aged to die as soon as
they become helpless, they will
have nothing to do with her. A
few years ago a distant relative of
the old princess died and left her a
small farm near Montesano, Wash,
and for a short time she enjoyed
the comparative comfort of living
on an income of IS month. An
inscriptions lawyer, however, pre-
vailed upon her to sign away her
rights, and she was compelled to
return TO her original condition Of
wretched poverty.
Now she passes the long days
wrapped in bundle of ragged blan-
kets before her smouldering drift
wood fire. So old and feeble is she
that it is only with the greatest
difficulty that she is able to move
about. An old woman companion,
who lives with her, hunts for dead
fish and clans along the tide line.
Granny" Mason has seen her tribe
dwindle away from number of
thousands to two small villages of
about a dozen families each. Gran,

GEN. LOWELL II. ROUSSEAU.
A Brave, Efficient officer and the Idol Of
His TrooDN.

Gen. Rousseau, who was the first
Colonel of the 5th KY, and promoted
to Brigadier-General and to the com
mand of the division, was an ideal SOL
dier and was as brave as any ever born.
He was OF fine physique. portly, and
erect in carriage. and splendid horse
man. He presented the finest appear
ance of any soldier l ever met during
the service. Probably no more popu-
lar commander was in either army
than Gen. Rousseau. The old COM
rades all remember that when he
passed thru our camps a tremen-
dous yell always greeted him. This
yell was heard coming nearer and
nearer, that it meant Rousseau or a
rabbit" While he was firm in the en-
forcement of discipline, Yet he had such
a modest, courteous way of doing it
that his soldiers always saw the right
and necessity of proper discipline
TO accomplish victorious results. The
regiment to which belonged-17th
ky.-was assigned to his division in the
Bragg raid thru Kentucky in 1862.
During that raid we encamped one
night somewhere near Taylorsville, on
a very fine farm. We had been COM
manded not to destroy private property
unnecessarily, but the night mentioned
Gen. Rousseau rode along the lines,
and upon reaching our regiment re-
marked to our Colonel John II. Nc
the rails they need here. as this
farm beings to - old rebel"
A few days after this occurred the bat
tie of Perryville, during which Cen
Rousseau called for the 18th Ky. to
move to a certain point, when he first
learned that our regiment had, by a
order, been detailed to guard
-
Starkweather's Brigade. to which we be-
longed, was on the hottest part of that
bloody field, and We only escaped that
battle by the order referred to- This
we leared afterwards when at Bowl
ing Green our regiment was detailed
and ordered to remain in Kentucky
druing the Winter. The morning we
from the division Gen. Rous-
seau ordered the regiment to come be-
fore his headquarters. After we were
brought to a parade rest he came be-
fore us and said that he could not
think of parting from US without MAX
ing an apology for not allowing us to
fight the enemy on our own soil, and
said his orders were for some one of
the new regiments that had lately been
to the army to guard the wag-
on train to Springfield, but by some
mistake our regiment had been detailed
instead. 1t is hardly necessary to state
that since probably by this mistake the
lives of several soldiers OF the regiment
were saved. that the apology was ac-
cepted. This reminds me that while
We were at Springfield. the body of
Gen. James S. Jackson, another Ken
lucky General. as brave as ever drew
a sword, who was killed at PerryviIle,
was brought in and guarded one night
by detail from our regiment The
body OF Gen. Jackson lies in the ceme-
terry Of this city, where he lived before
the war, marked by a beautiful shaft
erected by his comrades.-C. A. Brash-

Editor National Tribune: / want to
say to you that your paper is very
precious to me. and has already given
me information worth hundreds of dol
lars, and the rehearsals Of events of
the civil war by various comrades set
me TO thinking that perhaps some of
my experience and incidents of my

rank, my words of warning seemed to
have but little weight. i was asked
by my officers, before they left for
Port Hudson, TO make a turn around
to the cottage where they had stored
their trunks and baggage to see IL
all was right i soon discovered that
the cottage next to the one containing
regimental belongings. was occupied
by two strangers pretending to keep a
grocery, but one stood at the window
continually changing set of curtains
with different large characters painted
upon them; while the other man was
busy writing. This assured me that /
was in the immediate presence IF two
rebel spies busy at their treach-
erous work. When they asked me
what i wanted. / replied l was sick
and wanted to buy some Ayers pills.
They said they kept nothing but gro
ceries. whereupon l seated myself on
the threshold, facing across the bay,
and having on an old palmleaf hat,
could look thru the brim while i
hung my head down, and see a flag an
swering the movements of the curtain
OF the window. Soon the man at the
window beckoned the man at the desk
to take his place, while he hunted for
me q pill. and soon he had found one
and called me in and said that IL l
would take that It would surely re-
lieve me Of all pain. i looked at it and
asked the price, and he said that IL
was worth quarter. / told him that
