NOTHING SAFE FROM THEM
Gen. Hancock Evidently Had High
Opinion of the Foraging Abilities
of the N~lpeteenth Maine.

There is some doubt as to what
part the Nineteenth Maine played in
the war;" remarked a veteran Of that
regiment. 1.-THE fact Is, the Nineteenth
ate up the Southern Confederacy. They
stole pigs, robbed hen roosts, cleaned
out orchards and cellars and foraged
the country so thoroughly that the
enemy had nothing left to feed on, and
so lay down and died"
Then AL Wells of the same regiment
took up the thread of the story:
1--WE were sweeping along one day,
dining on the fat OF the land, as usual.
Another troop was ahead, and between
them and us rode General Hancock. As
the general was passing one planta-
ton, the aged proprietor came out and
stopped the generals party.

sort of safeguard. Those troops that
have just gone by stole my pigs. lifted

stole everything but my hope of i'm
mortality. Thank Godl none of them

torted the general. 'The Nineteenth

is equal to the folly and he that for a

diseases upon himself, and for the
pleasure of a few years passed in the
tumults of diversion and clamors of

the chamber and the couch, may be
justly ~reproached, not only as a spend
thrift of his happiness, but as a robber

her lover for the fine qualities she

of the wreck and ruin of battle chilled
him. When the call for volunteers
came he was not responsive.
you're not going to be a Stacker,

Earle writhed at the insinuation. His

Earle was troubled. The shrinking
