In his "reminiscences of Sherman's

tells how a group of small boys saved
a town from pillage and burning.
The ubiquitous. irrepressible and
4ingnisitive small boy saved Winnsbor-
ough from a supplementary pillage and

loot the residences In the headquarters

In the court house tower, determined
to remain behind the army long enough
to burn and plumber to their hearts
content and yet have time to join the
rear guard before night set in. But
heaven willed otherwise. A band of

by chance discovered the marauders
peering like vultures from their lofty
perch within the belfry and fastened
with the information to my father.
Fortunately three of the Union officers,
quartered at the rectory by General
Slocum, had been detailed with a squad
Of men to bring up the rear as whip
pers-in of stragglers. These officers
had rounded up their waits and strays
and were bidding farewell to my pa
rents before fastening after the army,
when the terror-stricken boys arrived
h~ot-footed and .gasped out their story.
Our friends Of the enemy and recent
guests thus found themselves upon the

"In the end duty triumphed over
fear. My father gave them a letter
which promised for themselves, their
prisoners and men safe-conduct until
they reached the Union lines, and they
proceeded TO the court house with their

Their Kindness Was Not Forgotten.
The cry of "On to Richmond" awak-

the Third Ohio day when they
found themselves en- route as prisoners
of war for that famous capital. Nor
were they enthusiastic when they halt

the men came down to have a look at

No wonder there was a warm spot

That long line of prisoners passing

one of the prisoners, as the regiment
passed:
What regiment is this?"

reply.

An Anecdote Of Kilpntrick.

On our way to fredericksburg, in
1852, we had encamped for a day, and
late In h afternoon our attention was
attracted by tho music of a band In a
grove only half a fAile away, who kept
playing n lively air for 80 long a
time that some few Of us proposed to
go over and see what the fun was
about. At this time Fitzpatrick was
lieutenant colonel of the Harris Light
Cavalry, afterward called by prejudiced
Infantry "Kilpatrick's thieves" When
We reached the grove a very funny
sight greeted us. The band was still
playing, but nearly exhausted. Kilpat-
rick, elevated by standing on a36arrel-
head, was shouting direction2 to at
least fifty darby men, women and chill
dren, old and young, who we're dancing
a breakdown In the true Virginia style,
the sweat pouring of from them. The
band leader appealed to Fitzpatrick in
behalf Of his wfnd-broken band, but
in vain. xii shouted back, "Play till
you wear the darkies OUT then yelled
to the darkies, Keep it up, boys and
girls. you will beat that band sure"
Aye, there stood the man who was
afterward celebrated in history, Gen.
eral Fitzpatrick, the raider, prompting
the most amusing dance ever wit
messed. No modern minstrel troupe
has ever equaled 1t. His officers were
just as busy as he was, and one Of
them passed around the hat, to which
the spectators responded lfberally,
then, just as the band blew a last and
dismal blast, Fitzpatrick threw the con.
tents OF the hat among the contra.
bands. Such a scene; down on all
tours, scrambling. pushing, shouting,
and screaming, until the last silver
piece had been secured. Fitzpatrick
came down from the barrel, and in his
ever genial manner shook hands with
us. saying: Gentlemen OF the Sixth.
l am glad to see you. You will excuse
this little party, for 1t is not often
that we have such fun, and at the same
time gave active employment to the
contrabands."

Joke Of Idle SOldicra.

We were lying in winter quarters.
and had days and days of nothing to
do. I did not play cards, but my ter
mate did. He also had three special
friends who played, and their meet
ing place was in my tent. There they
met day after day-in tho morning,
in the afternoon and in the even
ing until late at night. Our tent was
built for permanent quarters. In one
end we made a door eighteen inches
wide by three feet high. On h o.
posite side was a fireplace built out
side of small sticks, like s~tonework,
Inc covered inside with clay NOR
tar.
The boys, as usual, were at their
cards. l tool a friend into my coun-
sci and we procured a shell which
had blown the load out without burst
ing. We fastened into this shell a
long fuse. l then told my friend to
go away several rods to an empty
d%ry-goods box, and strike upon it SO
as to make it sound like the booming
Of distant cannon. "Hark!" said one;
"d'you heal that? That's from Lees
battery on the left. We may have
other business than card playing by
daylight"
Just then "boom!" went the old
%dry-goods box, and instantly I drop
ped the shell, with the burning fuse,
down the chimney. The shell fe1l upon
the fire and rolled under the bunk on
which the boys were sitting. Itch
tch-tch!" went the burning fuse.
The boys thought 1t a message direct
ed from Lees battery. Two tried to
jump through the door At the same
time, and blocked up the narrow door
so that neither was able to get out.
A full evacuation Of tho tent was
finally effected and a retreat made
not, however, in good order. No one
was killed, but the boys waited be-
hind distant trees for more than
thirty mortal minutes momentarily
expecting to see the tent blown to
atoms. After a while these heroes
came together n in the council of
war they held on the field Of fright
1t was decided that they had been vic
tins of fraud. But there was no more
card playing in my tent.
