MAJOR SALMON The Thrilling Experie Civil St. Louis The sceDe at the Union Station last Monday night, when the First Battery ! left for the South, awakened in many of those present memories of the days of the Civil War. Mingled with those who witnessed such stirring scenes for the first time, were veterans of the war. The former listened eagerly, while the latter leveled in reminiscences, as they waited for the train that brought the boys from the Barracks. In the crowd was Major Harvey Salmon, of Clinton, Mo. Friends were gathered around him. Stran gers, jostled by the surging mass of people, pricked their ears to hear war stories. "I was a youngster at the outbreak of (he war," Major Salmon was heard to say. "We Missouri boys who wanted ts join the Confederate array went in a very different manner from what our brave lads are going to-day. We had to steal our way through the lines in the dead of night, on horses that we picked up wherever we could. Many a fellow was killed before he got into ?he ranks aoross the lines, and years after his bones were found bleached to snowy whiteness io the spot where his body was thrown by those who had shot him down. We found all that was left of a nephew of mine in an old house. Eats had gnawed the flesh off his bones; only clothes identified him. "My first engagement, you say? There were so many of them I could not tell just now which was the first, hut I had an experience in the early part of :the war that I will never for get. I was with General Price at Lexington, Mo., when he drove Mulli gan inside the fortifications in Sep I tember, 1861. The Federals had for tified the town and it was rumored about our camp that they intended to surprise and rout us. The most stren uous picket watch was kept night and day. I was called out of a sound sleep shortly after I had retired one night in September and told to go out beyond the second picket and keep close watch. My instructions were to shoot down the first man who hove in sight and taeu retreat to the second picket. It was one of those hazy au tumn nigh ts common to that part of the country. There was no moon, ; but the stars twinkled through the gleom, and every now and then one fell, trailing a thin streak of light be hind. "One hundred and fifty yards from camp alone and on a mission that in volved the utmost vigilance was the easiest task for. a youngster. My brain was on fire with excitement. I walked up and down a slender path, from where I had an excellent look out over the country, a fine, timbered section, near Lexington. "My eyes were strained out of their sockets almost, and my ears must have stood away from my head, so ea ger was I to catch the slightest sound. The leaves rustled in the wind, and now and then a branch crackled under the weight of a slumbering bird. I imagined all sorts of thingo. The war was young then, and we wern't sea soned and hardened in experience. A fellow's imagination gets very vivid, and he is liable to see all sorts of things that he is expected to see and . watch out for. "Loss of sleep, unusual excitement and a feverish desire not to be caught napping made me all the more fearful of being trapped. Just as I was turning at the end of the beaten track I saw a man coming toward a fence. I leveled my double-barrel, ready to do as I was told, when the fellow set his foot on the fence. I expected to see him jump over the next minute, but he seemed to hesitate. He may be* watching me, I thought, looking steadily at him and covering every movement he might make with my gun. I refrained from shooting only because I did not want to raise thc commotion which my shot would en tail without being absolutely sure of my business. "It seemed to me that I stood for hours glued to the spot. There was that fence, that man with his foot on it, ready to swing his body over, that intense longing to shoot, yet a sort of sober afterthought bidding me to wait until he made another move. The move never came. "Gradually dawn crept over the timber. At its faint rays I felt re lieved. Now I would see my mau more plainly. He, too, would see me and do something more than rest his foot on the fence rail. "The stars withdrew one by one, and all at once there was no fence, no man-not even a stump that looked like a man. My ?yes ached from the strain of gazing at that one imaginary object, peering through the darkness to see it come toward me. "Yes, it was an intense relief to find that I had been mistaken, but it was a matter of still greater congratulation to me that I had not been beguiled in to rousing the entire camp from its 'S WAR STORY. snce of a He emit in the War. Republic. peaceful slumber by the creatures of my over vivid-imagination. "Was I frightened, you ask? I won't deny that I was badly frighten ed, and that reminds me of a fellow in my company who once gave appropri ate answer to a crowd of soldiers who made all manner of fun of him because he trembled like an aspen leaf as they were going to battle. " 'Boys,' said he, 'if you trembled as I de, you'd cut and run.' I tell you, this sense of fear on the eve of what is probably certain death is nothing to be ashamed of, nor anything to wonder at. Lincoln, one of the great est of all men, appreciated this fear. I remember the case of a young fellow, whose name I might tell you, if I did not think it wrong. Just before one of the bloodiest engagements fought during the late war he ran away. He was caught, court-martialed and con demned to be shot. His friends sought President Lincoln's interfer ence, but before they had a chance to reach him, Stanton and Holt went to him and told him that an example must be made in the case of the young fellow, that he must be shot as a warning to others. "Lincoln was very serious and shook his head doubtfully. " 'Stanton,' hesaid, "have you ever been to war ?' " 'No,' said Stanton, 'I never have.' " 'Have you Holt ?' persisted Lin coln. " 'I have not had that, privilege, Mr. President,' answered Holt. " 'Well, I have,' was Lincoln's re joinder. 'I was in the Black Hawk war, and I know what fear is. I will not have a man shot because he runs away in the face of almost certain an nihilation. You may punish him some other way, but I will not permit you to shoot him.' " ? Romance of the War. "The day before Gen. Lee surren dered," said a Confederate officer the other day, "I crossed Sailor's Creek, a small stream in Prince Edward County, Virginia, which follows the track of the Bichmond & Danville Railroad and empties into the Appo mattox River. "There was only a handful of my company left, and as I reached the summit of the hill which skirts its eastern bank I turned to Bee if the Federals-who had been hotly pursu ing us-were in view. As I did so I observed a man* wearing the uniform of a Confederate officer ride slowly along the precipitous side of the stream opposite us, and evidently searching for a crossing. "At this moment along steel-tipped blue line of Federal infantry crowned the hill above, in full view and within easy range of the horseman. Appa rently abandoning all hope of escape, the latter turned and rode directly to wards the enemy's line. As we watched him, breathless with anxiety lest the signal of surrender should be too long delayed, he suddenly wheeled about, put spurs to his horse, and dashing down the declivity, cleared the stream with a bound. "Not a shot was fired at the bold rider. As he reached the opposite bank a spontaneous shout went up from the whole line-a generous trib ute from the brave to the brave. A moment afterward the Confederate was in the midst; of us, and we recog nized in him Gen. James A. Walker, the commander of the old Stonewall brigade." Swallowed a Hole. The other day Jimmie, 4 years old, found one of those bone-rimmed cir cles which, I believe, ladies call eye lets, and, while playing in the garden, swallowed it. The family were in the house busily engaged with a work on entomology, when Jimmie ran in, with mouth wide open, and eyes dis tended to their utmost capacity. His mother caught him by the arm, and trembling with that deep anxiety which only a mother can feel, inquir ed: "What is the matter? What has happened?" "Water!" gasped little Jimmie, nearly scared to death. It was brought him, when, after drinking copiously, he exclaimed: "Oh, mother, I swallowed a hole !*' "Swallowed a hole, Jimmie?" "Yes, mother, swallowed a hole, with a piece of ivory around it!" - A teacher was explaining to a lit tle girl how the trees developed their foliage in springtime.

Jep Jones Tells How a Church Choir Upset the Town. Our church had been runnin' along fur fifteen years without any trouble, except that some folks didn't pay their pew rent until the last dog was hung. We didn't sing nuthin but old fashioned hymns, but Deacoon Spoon er allus give us the key with his tun in-fork and everybody sung fur all he wuz worth. With the doors and win dows open on a summer day. our sing in of "Rock of Ages" could be heard clear across to Porpoise Island. No body was finding the least bit of fault, when a widder woman narced Scott arrived at Squan Creek to pass the summer with her cousin. She was sor ter tony and stuck up, and atter she had attended church once she got at the preacher to have a quire. At fust his hair stood up at the thought of it. and he says to her: "It would never, never do. The people wouldn't stand it, and the Lord would be agin' it." But the widder was a persistent woman, and she hung right to him. and talked and argued till he seen things differently. He finally give his consent for her to organize a quire, and then the ruction begun. Every body had been'singing as loud as he could, and either long meter or short meter, and nobody was goin to give up without a kick. When Deacon Spoon er heard of the idea he banged his tullin fork agin the gate post till the sing of it was heard all over town, and said: "I've bin leadin the singin in this town fur fifteen long years, and never pitched a tune too high nur too low. If the Lord hadn't bin pleased with my singin' I should hev heard of it long ago. Them church quires is an invention of Satan. It's the fust step towards bustin up a church, and hev in the pastor hung for murder and the deacons sent to State prison for highway robbery. If thar's anything of the sort set a-goin' in Squan ?reek I shall sell out and move away inside of a week, fur ye may look fur the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah right here." One of our best singers was Mose Perkins. He had a mouth on him like a hole in a highway bridge, and a voice which would carry five miles agin a gale. When he stood up to sing he drew a long breath, spit on his hands and let 'er go. and if he hap pened to be feeling purty good he kept on singin till somebody give him a kick as a hint to shut off steam. He kinder felt that jealousy would keep him out of that quire, and he went around sayin: "I ain't braggin to anybody that my singin has been the means of keepin up our church and savin ten or fifteen souls a year, but I kin la*7 my hand on my heart and say that when you don't hear my voice any more you'll find lobsters and crabs gittin powerful skeeree." When the widder took hold to or ganize the quire she called fur all the singers to meet and sing, and then the ruction grew into a row. She asked Abijah Andrews to sing a verse of "The Sweet By and By," and he rose up and tied four different tunes in a hard knot. He was after more tunes to mix in when she sweetly says to him: :;Mr. Andrews. I will sing with you, and you may try the bass, if you will." In singin four lines Abijah hit thc bass, tenor, alto and all other sorts, and finished with a rumble that almost cracked the plaster. He was told to stand aside, and he went down to Dan Parker's grocery and said to the as sembled multitude: "A free born son of Liberty and an American patriot has bin turned down and jumped on. and if sunthin ain't done about it you'll never see another wreck come ashore on this beach. I call upon ye to rise and throw off the yoke of despotism." It was the same with Joe Saunders. Friday Bebee. Good Intent Jones and three or four other men. They had bin siugin away fur 15 years, and thought every note of it went straight up to heaven as a sort of advertise ment for Squan Creek, but it didn't take the widder five minutes to turn 'em down. She said it had bin all whoopin' and hollering instead of singing, and that they didn't know a note from a dog shark. Each of 'em went forth to talk about tyranny, des potism, 1770 and the enterin wedges of Satan; and red-hot times had come upon us. The women was wuss than the men. Joab Henderson's wife had bin sort o' leading the female side in church singin, and durin the 15 years she'd gradually loosened every tooth in her head. She sung for thc widder Scott, and she put her hull soul into it and calkerlatcd that half thc angels in heaven was clapping their hands in applause, but when she got through the widder said: .;Mrs. Henderson, if this was grand opera you d be in it up to the cars, but your voice is too powerful fur a <juire. You'd hev to git it down where it might break in two on you and be no further good." She up and told about 10 of'em the same thing, and the hull crowd was tickled to death atfir?t, but it present ly got out that the widder was guyin, and then there was no goin to bed before midnight. A quire of six was finally got together and one Sunday it was announced that they would do the singin. Then the row grew into a re bellion. Word was passed around and so many folks turned out fur church that the pews wouldn't hold 'em. When it got along to the singing we all had our eyes on Deacon Spooner. He was there and he had his tunin fork all ready. Once in awhile he wo.uld roll his eyes up to the ceiling as if askin the Lord to forgive him fur what he was about to do, but at the same time he was calm and deter mined. Atter awhile the preacher gave out the hymn: i;We Shall Meet Be yond the River." At the same time everybody outside the quire turned to "I'm Going Home To-Morrow." As the quire started in the Deacon bang ed his tunin-fork agin his pew and opened his mouth, and two different tunes was bein sung at once. Mebbe you kin imagine what sort of a high jinks' performance that was. Bvery singer in the qnire screamed as loud as he could, and everyone outside of it used all the breath he had. Children left at home that day flew under the bed and went into fits when they heard that noise, and over at South Shore, four miles away, the preacher stopped in his sermon as he got the sound of the racket and said to his congregation: "Brothers and sisters, it seems that they are playing baseball over at Squan Creek on this holy day. Not only that, but the hull population has probably turned out to mob and mur der the poor umpire." When the quire and the congrega tion had finished its hymn, both sides sat down. The preacher was awfully upsot, and the best he could do wai to preach a sermon about 15 minutes long. There ought to hev bin more singin, but there wasn't. He was about to close up with the Doxology, but he looked up and saw that the Widder Scott had her jaw sot, and he looked down and saw Deacon Spooner, with his tunin-fork all ready, and so he calmly said: "May the Lord bless Squan Creek and make it a good fishin' season; and now amen, and we'll go home." The quire went all to pieces after that day, and there was nobody left to oppose congregational singing; but, the town had bin upsot and could git over it in a day. Even to this date, which is over five years, if one of the quire folks asks one of the congregational singers fur a ohaw of terbacker, he meets with a prompt refusal and is told to go to grass on top of that.-if.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The House to-day passed the Senate bill to re move the political disabilities imposed by the third section of the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution. Con gressman Lacey, of Iowa, in advo cating the bill, eloquently referred to the magnificent spectacle presented to the country by the Ex-Confederate General, Wheeler, who is on leave of absence from the House, in the army of a reunited country, a man whose political disabilities were removed by special Act of Congress. He said that the political disabilities of all Ex-Confederates should now be re moved. Congressman Bailey, of Texas, the Democratic leader, declared that Gen. Wheeler has m leave of absence, and ought not to be granted leave of absence to serve in the army. He asserted that holding a commission in the army and a seat in the House at the same time cannot be regarded as constitutional. Congressman McMillan, of Tennes see, interrupted bim with the state ment: "Gen. Wheeler is loved by every member of this House for going to the front to serve his country. I would not object to granting leave of absence to any man in this House who might want to go and place his body before the fire of the enemy." Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, then de livered a magnificent non-partisan, patriotic speech, which electrified the House. In part, he said: "I know that Gen. Wheeler went forth in the spirit of unsullied and unalloyed patriotism. Gen. Wheeler came into the ways and means committee room the day before he left and said he only wanted to get a few papers. He said he had never franked a single document since his appointment and you know there could not be any higher evidence of Wheeler's sacri fice." Gen. Grosvenor spoke feelingly of the spectacle of the united, country crying: "My country, my flag, North and South." He said all the nations of the world are looking at our grand reunion. "I shall vote to wipe off this law from our statutes, and I am grateful to Almighty God that I have seen this day. So help me God I will try to forget that there was any neses sity for such a law."-Philadelphia Times. Chamberlain's Pain Balm has no equal as a household liniment.

Those who have Rheumatism find themselves growing steadily worse all the while. One reason of this is that the remedies prescribed by the doctors contain mercury and potash, which ul timately intensify the disease by caus ing the joints to swell and stiffen, producing a severe aching of the bones. 8. S. S. has been curing Rheumatism for twenty years-even the worst cases which seemed almost incurable. Capt. O.E. Hughes, the popular railroad conductor, of Columbia. S. G., had an experi ence with Rheumatism which convinced him that there is only one euro for that painful dis cane. He says : "I was a great sufferer from mus cular Rheumatism for two years. I could got no permanent relief from any medicine pre scribed by my physician. I took about n dozen bot tles of your S. S. 8., and now I am as well as I overvraslnmylife. lam sure that your medicine cured me. and I would recommend lt to any one .uttering from any blood disease." Everybody knows that Rheumatism is a diseased state of the blood, and only a blood remedy is the only proper treatment, but a remedy containing potash .and mercury only aggravates the trouble. S.S.S.rfhoBlood being Purely Vegetable, goes direct to the very cause of the disease and a per manent cure always results. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed to con tain no potash, mercury or other dan gerous minerals. * Books mailed free by Swift Specific Company, Atlanta, Georgia. W. G. McGEE, SURGEON DENTIST.
