from the Legion into the American
army. II the request Is granted, the
youthful, though hardened veteran will
probably join the same unit IN which
his brother Is serving.
Charles bears a charmed life. AT the
outbreak Of the war, in sympathy with
his many friends in the French colony
IN New York, he left for Paris and
there offered his services. iIe was
mustered into the Third Marching
Regiment of the Foreign Legion. In
this unit he found NHAtor Chapman, Of

He also remains today the one veteran

hospital following a shrapnel bullet in
his foot during the battle Of Cham

Weather Mans Report
Written for The Evening Journal
By JAMES T. cRozIER.

The days now are cold to man that is
old.
And / guess 70 a young fellow too;
But after I'm fed am soon in my bed
l am told that's the best place for you
I guess they are right I sleep sound at
nisht,
But often do have pleasant dreams,
About things that are past, all gone at
last,
Sometimes about nice sirls It seems.
Wei that is all right. They are now out
Of sight.
And they know am now up tree.
There was once a time when It was all
right,
But none Of them now trouble me.
There are some writes 20 me ] would
love 10 see.
And some promises come that are
grand.
And I now say to you hope they come
true,
There is one resder-shem under
stand.
Soon all trees VIII be green, straw hats
viii be seen
on the heads OF most men on the
street:
that's the season for me, I'm as pleased
as can be,
To shake hands with all friends that
meet.
The snow viii be gone when that time
shall come
And baseball games then will be here;
You won't fnd me home for I love to
roam
Out to see a ball game II IT'S clear.
Some say I'm a youth. That is nearer
the truth,
Thoush most OF them say that for
fun;
But this Is the truth, feel like a youth,
Though my journey / know Is near
done.
So let it be warm-or let It be cold,
When a game Is on hand III be there,
So when ! am told am getting old,
n I'm able I'll go anywhere.

announced last night that the embargo
on less-than-carload freight, on lines
east Of Pittsburgh had been lifted. the
order going into effect at midnight.
The embargo on less-than-carload
freight was placed on January "a The
congestion on lines east Of Pittsburgh

soon he was wandering in the great wide
world.
Harrison Emancipation was the oldest of
ten brothers and six sisters, the father of
whom, as has been said of Harrison. was
full and overlooking with mother wit. He
was eager to see his boys forge to the front
in such things as were possible for colored
folks, and he leaned heavily on Harrison
to help him with the younger Ones and
was not disappointed The father being
blacksmith all of the boys followed in his
footsteps and became even better mechanics
than the father and had they been sur
rounded by different environments the
Emancipation boys would have been at the
head of a great industrial enterprise. But
as it was they operated the largest black
smith shop in that section of the state
Harrison learned to read and write of a
Yankee school marin from Wisconsin and
was soon one of the foremost colored men
of his county.
Doctor and Mrs. Bourbon nee Miss Lillv
Lady, stood on the street of the county
seat waiting to see the monster 'parade'
OF the campaign, which the Republicans
were pulling off that Saturday. At the
head OF the procession was brass band
that was pouring forth strains of music
that were sufficiently soothing to the saw
ages ear to tempt even bourbon Demo-
crat to become a black Republican and
Miss Lilly was captivated with not only
the music, but the military precision of
the members of the band The band is
almost to them and the musical number is
finished. She eyed the men because they
were all black and in brilliant uniform
Suddenly she exclaimed: 'Harrson, OH
doctor, it's Harrison' About the same
time Harrison recognized her and though
leader Of the band, he just had to stop
and speak. He was told by Miss Lilly
that this is DR.. Bourbon, my hllsband,'
and the two men shook hands more warmly
than was the custom of white and black
men IN the South to do. But Harrison
Emancipation was all duty and he was soon
at his post. DR.. Bourbon watched him
until out Of sight and then said to his
wife: lie appears to be splendid fellow
and is deserving of a better fate than prob
ably awaits him, but if I can ever help him
l will gladly do 500 Dr. Bourbon and
his wife went home and Harrisons name
was not mentioned again.
The campaign Of 1875 throughout the
South grew more intense each day from
July to November, and during the month
OF October all the horrors Of the French
.Jacobm days were repeated and ga dead
mggah was Tar more common than a
dead snake. When the election day finally
rolled round the colored voters were thor
oughly inundated and though there were
ten colored men to one white man in that
particular county, yet not a bakers dozen
Republican votes were cast in the entire

Democratic party has been a stencil and

of this land of the free and it has not been
