barge set on fire and every man per-
isnad. My company marched along the
levee as a land escort. heard the pitiful
cries of our unfortunate comrades, but
could render no assistance, and by the
middle of April, as the waters had
abated so as to construct a road from
Millikcn's Bend to Grand Gulf, the
armies began TO move, and consequent
ly it became necessary to descend the
river with the fleet From Vicksburg
to Millillen's Bend is % miles, and so
miles to Grand Gulf.
On the night of the 21st the most
important run was made, consisting of
four gunboats and three transports One
transport was set on fire and burned;
all the others made the run in s,lfety.
The rebels lit up great bonfires. and
the burning of the boat made the river
almost as light as day, and then about
week later fleet of six transports
were sent down, and one of them was
set on fire and sunk. All the others
were successful, but not without con-
siderable damage. This may be re-
Sarded as the most hazardous, being
unprotected by the gunboats and so
heavily loaded. AS Grant began manu-
verns at Grand Calf, Sherman slipped
up the YaZoo and made a feint on
Haynes Bluff. landed some troops
under cover of gunboats, the Choctaw
in the lead, and made pretensions as
If he would storm the very gates of hell.
After two days of outwitting the
Johnnies he pulled away, and followed
up the main army. leaving my brigade,
by Gen. Giles A. Smith, to
bring up the rear. We boarded the
boats and moved up to Milliken's Bend,
and on May Z we took up the line of
march to Grand Gulf We crossed the
river on the 18th. Next day We loaded
up with five days rations and continued
our march, and in two days caught up
with the army just in time to take a
part in the battle of Champion Hills
We gradually pressed the enemy back
all day, and at night they slipped away
The following day we made haste to
rejoin our rightful command at Bridge
port, and crossed Black River on a river
pontoon. and the next day, May IS, we
came to the Confederate works in the
rear of the city, and replenished our
haversacks from the Yazoo.@J. W.

sin Veterans Home.


Comrade Benjamin IF. Bryant, re-
Gently appointed Commandant of the
Wisconsin Veterans Home, was one of
the early workers fornthe establishment
of that fine institution, and took a
deep interest in all that concerned il.
He was for many years the President
OF its Board OF Trustees. He was born
in Rockland, Me, Sept. g. 1887, and
educated at BOwdoini College. The out
break of the war found him residing
in Ohio, and he enlisted in the 1O1st
Ohio. His good soidiership brought
him repeated. promotion, first to Ser
geant, then to First Lieutenant and
then Captain, Sin which rank he COM
pleted his three years of service in
the Army of the Cumberland After
the war he went to Wisconsin, and for
AZ years had resided at La Crosse.
During this time his fellow citizens be-
slowed upon him many offices. He was
County Judge, District Attorney, Unit
ed States Pension Agent and Postmas-
ter. Cows. C. C. Washburn and w. F..
Smith attached him to their staff with
the rank of Colonel. Comrade BRYANT
has been an active, helpful member of
the Grand Army since 1882. He was
charter member of his Post, Senior
Vice Commander and Commander, and
was elected Department Commander
of Wisconsin in 1890 He is always in
attendance at the Encampments of the
Department of Wisconsin, G. A. r.

quests visitors to remove their hats in
passing before the hattie flags AT first
il seemed novel. perhaps arbitrary, but
1t so sorted with the general sentiment
of devotion to the flag that now the
observance is so general that an i1tii-
vidual exception eXcites comment. The
attachment of the soldier for the color
is one the civilian recognizes without
wholly understanding. 1t must be felt
TO be realized in its intensity. The
Union veteran loves the Stars and
Stripes, but his love for the regimental
or State color is a twin love.

SONORA SARA.

The statement is often made that this
is a Nation of dyspeptics. 1t must be
admitted that there is truth in the ac-
cusation. Perhaps the condition is due
in a measure to the use of so many
highly spiced condiments which cannot
but interfere with normal digestive
processes. In many families even the
children crave the peppery sauces and
the singing favored relishes, while the
adult members of the family confess
that food is tasteless without them, or
that they are needed to stimulate the
faded appetite. Hunger is the best
srimulant for that kind of an appetite
1t is free from the dangers of the over
season relishes and sauces.
The mileage of the blood circulation
reveals some astonishing facts. 1t has
Just been calculated, for instance, that,
assuming the heart to beat SO times 4
minute at ordinary pressure, the blood
goes at the rate of zee yards in a min
ute, or nine miles an hour, 227 miles
day and $4,000 miles year.
If a man 81 years old could have but
one single blood corpuscle floating in
his blood all his life. it would have trav-
eled in that tine nearly 100000 miles.
