The I'd N. G.

A. A. Pearson, Comanchey, Okla,
says that there has been a mistake
made about the 81 n. C. He was in
the 1st n. c. M'td Inf, and George w.
Kirke was the Colonel of the I'd n. c.,
SO he cannot see why he was put with
the third regiment. He was at Blowing
Rock, n. c., when Wolford's Cavalry
turned over about 1000 prisoners to
Kirke. About one-half of their were
Union boys, who had been in prison.
He was also at Duncan, N. c., when
Capt. Hines. C. S. A. was killed. Hines
was at that time leading party to hunt
down Union men.

THE BUNKER CHURCH.
The Comrades Insist That 1t Was Built
of Brick.

Editor National Tribune: In issue of
states, THE church was certainly a
wooden structure" At the time of the
battle l did not know the name of the
denomination owning the church, but
in my letters and in conversation we
referred to it as the brick church.
1t was brick church and had been
whitewashed. The same church is
standing to-day.
My critic states, Either on the 18th
or the 18th, or perhaps on both of these
dates, everything being quiet, those of
the men who felt inclined leisurely
viewed the field in their near vicinity,
including the bunker Church.
The fact is that on the 18th Hagers-
town pike and bunker Church We're in
side the Confederate lines; picket firing
was incessant turnout the entire day,
other than for a short time in the after
noon and for distance of only about
100 yards on either side of the Smoke
town road. 1t is a matter of history
that there was an unauthorized flag of
truce party the afternoon of the 18th.
l was one of that party. The party was
in charge of Lieut.. Shallenberger of
Co. b, 125th Pa. We advanced in the
field to the left, south of the SmOketown
road; we were met between the picket
lines by Confederate Lieutenant, and
we sat on Ehe stake and ridered renee
at point about halfway between the
East Woods and the Mumma Lane. THE
1st n. j. lay in line under the protec-
ton of a slight knoll. very nearly if not
precisely opposite bunker Church, and
100 yards east thereof is certainly an
error on the part of Comrade Van Vel
sor. l have photograph of the bunker
Church before me. and i shows that
the whitewash has been weatherbeateu
from the north, and the bricks show
plainly: further, / have a letter before
me, dated Feb. Z, from which | quote
as follows: During the battle the old
church was brick, on the nth of Sep
TENDER, 1862, and it is brick just the
same to-day; no room for any uoubt
whatever. You can see a cut of it in
my book as in wartimes and as now.
The ground was given to the German
Baptist Brethren, or better known as
the Thinkers or Dunkards, by the Mum
ma family, to be used as place of wor-
ship, and a few years ago they built a
new one in the town of Sharpsburg, so
now. in order to hold the property, they
hold services once a month in the old
church. (Signed) o. T. Reilly, Sharps-
burg. Md"

Huyette, Buffalo, n. Y.
Editor National Tribune: All men
do not see things alike. There SENS to
be a great difference of opinion as to
what. the Dunkard Church at Antietam
was built of. I saw that church on
Sept. II, 1862; Sept. II, 1891. and Sept
II, 1904. The left of our regiment was
close TO it the day of the battle; Co. 3
at the church and Co. G next The
church is built of red brick, and was

Potato chowder is very good
Pare and cut into dice five good-siZed
potatoes and throw into cold water.
Cut quarter-pound slice of fat ham into
shreds and put it in a frying pan with
minced onion and fry light brown.
Put layer of potato dice in kettle.
sprinkle in ham, onion, salt, pepper, and
minced parsley, then add more pota-
toes, pork, onion. etc. until all are used.
Add the fat in which the onions were
fried and a pint of cold water. Cover
and cook gently until the potatoes are
nearly done, about 20 minutes. Rub a
tablespoonful of butter and same of
flour to a smooth paste (roux) and stair
into the chowder: then when it begins

carefully together SO as not to break
the potato dice.
Prune souffie is a dainty dessert
Soak and stew two dozen prunes. and

the beaten whites of four eggs add six
the prunes and beat well. Put into the
mixture one tablespoonful of sifted flour,
one-quarter teaspoOnful cream tartar
and one teaspoonful of lemon extract.
Bake 20 minutes in slow oven. Serve
cold with sauce made as follows: One
pint of sweet milk, three-quarters of a
cup of sugar, the yolks of four eggs and
one teaspoonful of lemon, made into a
soft custard. The sauce should also be
cold when served.
Not everyone can make good oyster
soup. Here is a good recipe:
Put lump of butter in a saucepan,
set on the fire. adding a little flour. and
stir well until it browns but not let ii
burn. Season with pepper, cayenne and
very little salt. Drain a quart of oys-
ters and add this juice with a pint of
clear water to the Drowned butter and
-four. Let this sauce simmer half an
hour; then add the oysters with little
chopped parsley and small pieces of
fried bread cut in dice or fancy shapes,
or with small crackers.

It tasted like frozen velvet Favored with straw berries, and should have loved to be an ostrich or an anaconda, so that the sensation might have lasted longer.
 There were no men in the shop. only women, and so pretty that you wonder ed if there were aotice posted up over the door forbiddng plain ladies to enter Two or thyee had yellow hair, yellower than mine, and Mrs. Ess Kay said they were actresses, who al- ways came back to New York in sum- mer to walt for things to turn up, just as chickens come home to roost, and that they were supposed to be resting. l had always thought that banana made you feel more as if you had eat en large, elaborate dinner than any other one thing possibly could, but l found that an ice cream soda is even more so, and it was lucky for us that We had another hours shopping to do (Mrs. Ess Kay made 1t an hour and half because Potter is only her broth er) before luncheon.
 The next shop was even more won- derful than the first and would have been a great deal more solemn and dig nified and even conventional if the same kind of wooden balls hadn't gone tearing round like mad squirrels in wire cages over the counters with peo- ple's money shut up inside them. There were very young youths sitting in tall pulpit things, who caught the balls on the fly in a sporting way and did some thing to them, but l never could see what. and afterward sent them back with the greenback bills inside turned miraculously into silver and pretty min iature pennies.
 When we got to Sherry's, Potter was 1 waiting for us and looking cross. think persons with turned up noses show crossness more easily than the other kind, and Potter had the expres- sion in his eyes that Vic has when her shoes are tight and mother Is in q trying mood at the same time. l shouldn't be surprised if he has hor- rid temper, although he thinks of so many funny things. And though he is so nice to me, he cant help saying l things sometimes which show that he has a prejudice against England. That seems extraordinary, and shows one how conceited we English really are, for one Is quite accustomed to the idea that there may be people who don't care for Americans, but 1t is odd that Americans may not like us. 1 suppose it's on a par with the sentiments in l our national anthem, which when one ! comes to analyze them don't exactly 1 suggest a sense of give and take-or, | for that matter sense of humor.
