and said: "Captain Toorean was
a splendid soldier and a fine gen
tleman as ever lived This one
expression epitomizes Mr.. Vaca-
ro's war record better than any
thing we can pen, for it is the
brave and true soldier who loves
and honors his commander.
Mr.. VaccarO was severely
wounded at Shiloh, in which bat
tie Capt. ToOrean was killed and
his body was never recovered.
After this, the wounded soldier
was sent to Vicksburg, but when
that place was threatened he,
together with other disabled
men were ordered away and he
came down to Bayou Sara On
furlough. Hearing that q fight
was impending at Baton Rouge,
and though still disabled, he de-
termined to go to that place and
resume duty. Accordingly he
set about to find a way, and, to
gether with Seymour Lavergne
and Eugene Remondet, (now
dead paid VIM. Magearl (also
| dead) $50 to take them to Baton
Rouge. When they got there,
however, there were no arms or
equipment for them and they
were forced to sit idly by while
the battle ragged.
Mr.. VaccarO was also in the
battle in front of Atlanta and was
shot through tle left forearm as
he was loading his gun. An OPP
GRAFTON was performed and one
bone was removed.
He was also in Mobile when
Spanish Fort went up, and par
ticipated in other minor engage
ments.
Before the close of the war
Mr.. Vaccaro was so badly dis
abled that he was given an hon
orable discharge and he returned
home.
Since the war, he has resided

Some men marry for money
and some women for alimOny.
When a man begins to burn
his money, look out for a hot

There are none so blind as

There is no law against the

A sure way not to know any
too much is to think you do.
When q woman refuses q man
and he takes to drink. it's a ques-
ton whether he is trying to
drown his sorrow or is celebra-
ting his escape.
The only thing a man can be
more conceited about than his
brains are his Whiskers.
1t would be a great happiness
to women if doctors would have
bargain days to dose the chill
dren.
Men would be just wild tC
pay their taxes if it was against
the law.
The only time a woman ever
really trusts a mans judgment
is when he marries her.
One of the things a woman
can't understand is why mar
would rather read accounts O.
ball games than love stories.
A man can be very fond of his
family when they pretend to like
to have him smoke an old pipe
Another makes a fatal mis-

Us WAS probably guessed,
. from the forecast in last
weeks paper, Joseph Vac
caro- is the subject of the sketch
in this department this week.
He was born in S. Pietro oil
Roveuto, a beautiful little noun
tain village on the shores of the
Sea of Genoa, and about twenty
miles from the historic city OF
that name, in Italy, seventy-tWo
years ago. His parents were
very poor and at the age of twelve
wears he was put in the care OF a
family friend and brought to
America, landing at New Orleans,
This climate did not agree with
him and he went to Memphis to
| a brother of the man who brought
him to America, reaching there
on Dec. "A, 1849.
Young Joe did odd jobs about
Memphis for a year or two and
finally came to Bayou Sara III
1852, and has resided there al
most continuously since. he
learned the carpenters trade IN
his youth and is a fine mechanic,
even to this day, despite his ad'
vanced years. His hand has not
lost it's skill and many visible ev
licences of his handicraft are
here.
At the outbreak of the war be
tween the states, Mr.. VaccarC
enlisted in Capt. Chas. Toorean's
company Of infantry from Wes
Feliciana. At mention of his ole
captain, Mr.. Vaccaro's eyes
frightened, he Strengthened VI
