What Soldiers Liked.

No matter how serious the situation
nor how near to death the soldiers
were, they were always able to OK
change few jokes and to see the
comic side Of life. AS evidence it is
related that while in camp at. Mem
phis, Tenn, a great flood came on and
the camp of the Union soldiers was
put very largely under water. 1t was
the custom of the soldiers to dig large
holes In the ground, for disposal of
the waste from the camp. and these
were covered over, but at the time of
tho flood the water prevented the
passerby from seeing the covering. It
was just at this time that DR.. David
Evans, whose home was at Boston, be.
low Richmond, and who was sur
geon, made his appearance In hand
some new suit of clothes and went out
to visit certain portion of the camp.
In doing SO he unfortunately landed
on top of one of the waste pits, with
the result that he fell through. his
new clothes were ruined and he had
to stand for a great deal of joking.

CAUCASIAN CHRISTIANITY.

No better proof Of the failure of the
Caucasian Christian Church of Amer

the color line, can be found than the
recent episode in the International
Sunday School Congress, which met

Congress is alleged to be a meeting

land, but the local committee decided
to bar all Afro-Americans of the Dis

THE "ELACk NANNY" MONU-
MENT

Tne proposal Of certain SouthIerners
to erect a monument to the "Black
Nanny does not meet the approval
Of THE APPEAL.
The "Black Nanny is a person of
the past and her place has been taken
by thousands of educated, cultured
and refined Afro-Americans of today.
The South wishes to- remind the
race OF its former servile condition
and to perpetuate for all time the
knowledge of such condition.. This is
to be done under pretense OF love for
the "Black Nanny of slavery days.
If the South was really sincere in
its love for the BLACK Nanny" it
would not hate ler noble sons and
charming daughters among the Afro.
Americans of today and would not en-
act unjust, unchristiar, inhuman laws
to humiliate and degrade them and
deprive them Of their rights as citi.
zens.
The $1,000,0O0 it is proposed tc
waste on a monument could be used
to more advantage to the race in some
other way.

veteran when he met
Grant near Vicksburg under rather
embarrassing conditions. He was in
General Hovey's old regiment, the
TWenty-fourth Indiana, from June,
1861, until August, 1864.
The stage of the great war drama
had been shifted to Vicksburg and
vicinity said the veteran in relating
his story. "On April %, at Hard
Times Landing, thirty-five miles be-
low Vicksburg, saw General Grant,
Governor Dick Yates and Fred Grant
(then boy, apparently only thirteen
or fourteen years of age, but wearing
captains shoulder straps) board a
tug and cross the river. The can
nonading between our fleet and the
forts was terrific, and could see the
cannon balls come skimming along on
the water, some of them very near to
General Grants tug, but he stood
calmly on deck, not in the least dis
turbed. The next day I crossed the
river on the flagship Benton and stood
within six feet of Grant for three
hours. He chewed an unlighted cigar
stub all the time. I saw him no more
until about May g.

Asked What We Were Doing There

than ours, but we decided to take the
risk for a square meal. The day was
cloudy and dark and finally we lost
our bearings. But we had a few
chickens, some sweet potatoes, peas
and duck or two, and so really did
not worry over the situation. When
we were at last picked up by a patrol
guard of our. own army we were SO
relieved at not falling into the hands
of the enemy that we did not take our
predicament seriously. It was when
| the guard took us to General Grants
| own headquarters short distance
| away that we saw we had but stepped
| out Of the frying pan into the fire.
We knew Grant was good discipline
rian and we had broken the rules.
General Grant was not in his tent
! at first, but soon came. He threw his
| bride reins to an orderly and strode
| into his tent, giving us rather curl
| Gus glance as he went by. In few
| minutes he came out again and asked
us what we were doing there. Our
spokesman glibly manufactured a tale
| about sick brother being weak and
badly in need of better food than
hardtack on which to regain his
strength. It was at once evident that
General Grants sympathy had been
aroused.
| Then he proceeded to tell us that
he would forego punishment, in view
| of the cause that had led us to 20
! foraging, but he asked us to promise
that we would never again be guilty
of such an act. He said that we were
in the enemy's country and did not
know at what hour he would have to
order the army to move. He said he
knew we were short of rations, but
that he had sixteen boats loaded down
with provisions waiting for us Just
above Vicksburg
"You can bet we went away with
some new ideas about Grant. His talk
was our salvation, for General Hovey
| was fully determined to make an ex.
ample of us until he heard General
Grant had ordered us back to our
company. That sick brother story
would not have done to tell General
Hovey." .... .. D..
