TALES THAT ARE TOLD OF
THE CIVIL WAR.
A Word for the Regulars Wh-> Served
During the War Eecolleetlo is of
Sherman—He' aue at Valley Torge—
She Gets There.
Justly Entitled.
Jam°s Maher writes the National
Tribune in behalf of the regulars, as
follows: In a recent issue of the
Tribune Comrade 11. J. McGivern
comments upon the regular officers as
regards their indorsement of de
tached volunteers for congressional
medals of honor. Il s remarks are
not only well t med, but true. The
battery cited (B. 4th U. S.) as is
shown on the records, lost more men
during the war than any other bat
tery, e ther regular or volunteer.
And I am proud to state that I not
only served in that famous battery
during the war, but before and aft.T.
I enlisted in 185'.), an I partook of
the famous 1.69J-anilo overlan I m irch
from Leavenworth to Salt Lake Clt/;
and during the Mormon and Indian
wars fought the wily and treacherous
redskins. When the toe tin was
sounded and hnn.lre Is of officers who
had bean schoole I an I fed at the
government’s expense discar led their
side-arms and trampled their c un
missions in the mu 1 to flock to the
standard of secess on, the pr vates to
a man rallied to the pre er ration of
“Old Glory.” lam one of the latter.
I served during the entire war. re-en
listing in front of Petersburg, and
again re-enlisting for a third term in
Company K Third U. S. I took part
in every battle and skirmish in the
army of the Potomac, and can truth
fu’ly state that, oatside of General
John Gibbon an I Captain James Stu
art, I am one of the three only
now living who c ime from the West
with the aforesaid officers and
served during the entire war; C.
Henry Moore, of Philadelphia, and
Richard L. Tea, ret red as a private,
and now living at Whipple Birrackt,
Arizona, being the others who stool
to the guns of. as we believe, the best
battery ever formed before and dur
ing the entire war.
Comrade McGivern deserves the
thanks of die oil regulars for the in
terest taken in their behalf, and I
will here state that if medals for
bravery are to be given to volunteers
we certainly are also deserving of the
same, for we not onlj’ fought through
the war, but before and after on the
frontiers.
Johnny Cook, who has recently
receive I a medal, served only
through part of the war. as did also
John Johnston and Billy Ho'arty,
volunteers, who each lost an arm.
We certainly could not all lose arms
and legs, for ha I such been the case
Mie war would soon have ceased.
I will place ray record as a sol Her
against anv man living, without f ar.
And now one word for Comrade
McGivern, who served during the last
two campaigns of the war. I remem
ber his g.ving to Lieutenant Voss,
then in command of the buttery, a
letter foun 1 near the battery at Camp
Bailey, Bladensburg, whi h exposed
a plot to steal ammunition to b • used
to blow up the headqu rters t nt and
said lieutenant for some imaginary
wrong. That tn ly not be e tile I
bravery, but it certainly is worthy of
mention, as in doin r so he not only
prevente I a foul an I in'iu.nin net,
but without doubt saved the life of
Lieutenant Voss.
Honor to whom honor is due is my
maxim.
That your man? readers may not
think 'lie egotistical, an I th it my
record will meet the approval of every
old soldier who rei Is this. I again
claim that the survivors of old B, 4th
U.S..are without doubt entitled to
medals of honor.
Denprrate 1 riuitment.
During the revolutionary war, the
troops under Colonel McLane’s com
mand were suffering for provisions
and clothing. and congress had been
repeatedly pet tioned for that relief
which it was not in its power to be
stow. Under these circumstances,
Colonel McLane paraded his band of
suffering soldiers, who were about
going into winter quarters at Valley
Forge, and addressed them as follows:
“Fellow-soldiers, you have served
your country faithfully and truly.
We have fought hard lights together
against a hard enemy. You are in a
bad way for comfortable clothes, and
it almost makes me cry to see you
tracking your half-frozen, bloody
feet on the cold ground. But con
gress can’t help it, nor can I. Now,
if any of you want to return home, to
leave the army at such a time as this,
you can go. Let those who would
like to go step out four paces in front.
But—the first man who steps out —if
I don t shoot him, my name is not
McLane!” It is needless to add that
not a single •‘volunteer for home”
was to be found in the ranks. —

Fecollections of Sherman.
Sherman shared all tie privations
and hardships of the co ninon soldier.
He slept in his uniform every night of
the whole campaign. Sometimes we
did not get into camp till midnight. I
think ev. ry man in the army knew
the general’s face, and thousand*
spoke with him personally. The fa
miliarity of the troops at times was
amusing.
“Don’t ride too fast, general,” they
would cry out. seeing his horse plung
ing along in the mire at the road tide,
as he tried to pass sone division.
“Pretty slippery going, Jr lie Billy,
pretty slippery going ” Cr, “Siy,
general, kin you tell us, is this the
road to Richmond?”
Every soldier in the army had taken
on the enthusiasm of the general hlm-
self. They would go anvwhere that
be might point to. Often as he ap
proached some regiment a wil 1 huzza
would be given and tiken up and re
peated by tbo troops a mile ahead.
Instinct seem »I to tell the bovs when
there was any lou I shouting anywhere
whatever that Uncle B.lly was com
ing, an I they joine I in the cheers
til the woods rang. It was a common
thing for the general tost >p his horse
and speak wo d, of encouragement or
praise to some subordinate officer or
private soldier struggling at the road
s de.
He had his humorous side with
them. too. When the army reached
Goldsboro half the men were in rags.
One day a division was or lered to
march p ist him in review. The men
were bare-legged and ragged, spme ol
them almost hat eo.
“Only look at the poor fellows with
their b ire legs,” sai I an officer at the
general’s si le, svmputh.z n 'ly.
“Splendid legs,” crie I the general
with a twinkle in hi 5 eye, * splendid
legs. Would give two of mu e for any
one of them.”—McClure's Magazine.
A Catn;i Etperlrnco.
A Rhode Island soldier, while on
picket guard, was rushed upon by a
party of Confe lerate cavalry. He
tired at the foremost of them and ran.
Before him was an open field about
fifty rods across, boun led by an old
log fence, and beyond that a thicket
of briers and underbrush. For this
bushy retreat the soldier started, a
half dozen horsemen after him. For
tunutclv for the fugitive, the rains
had softened the soil, and the horses
slumped through the turf so Lally
that pursuit was slow.
A pst 1 ball pissed thr >ugh the
runner’s hat, but he reached tiie fence,
and with one boun I landed on th<
top, intending to give a long spring
ahead, hut the old fence crumbled be
neath bis weight and down ha went.
But luck favored him again, for a
hog had rooted out a gutter at this
place and at the moment was lying in
it. The sold er fell phupp into the
hole anil the frightened hog uttered
one squeal an I scampered into the
underbrush, leaving the newcomer in
possession of the wallow an.l buried
tinder th? debr s of the fence.
A minute more and up dashed the
horsemen. Hearing the rustle of the
fleeing hog in the bushes, they sup
posed it to be the picket, and dashed
through the gap in the fence and has
tened on.
When they were well out of sight
the fugitive crawled out from the
mudhole and ran back to camp.
The following day one of the same
horsemen was taken a prisoner. Our
hero recognized him at once.
“I say,” he asked, “did you catch
that hog yesterday?”
"We did that,” retorted the pris
oner, “but it wasn’t the one we wcro
after!” —N. Y. Advertiser.
Vi lien V iil tiao War End?
Thii question was answerel by a
little miss at one of tie school exam
inations in Troy, in a manner that did
credit to her intelligence and loyalty
—her head an I heart. After the ex
ercises of the afternoon ha I con
cluded. the prineiptl staled that he
should be please I if the comm ttee
would ex amine the elasi in reference
to matters of recent histo-y, such us
the events of the present war—to
show that they kept their eyes and
ears open, an I were po.ted in matters
transpiring around them. One of the
committee said to the president of the
board of education, who was con
ducting the exercises, “Ask ’em when
the war will end. Guess that w.ll
puz '.le ’em.”
Air. Kemp, in his blandest tones,
said to the class:
“It is asked, by a visitor, ‘when this
war will end.’ Can any of you an
swer the question?’’
Up went si sb >w of hands, as at least
fifteen boys an I girls manifested a
willingness to solve the problem that
statesm n. financiers and politicians
weie supposed to have puzzled over
in vain.
“You may answer,” said President
Kemp to a bright-eved little girl near
him: -When will the war end?”
Rising from her seat, the little
patriot, in a clear unfaltering voice,
with enthusiasm flashing from her
eye, answered:
“When the rebels lay down their
arms and sue for peace!”
The gentleman who had suggested
the inquiry said. “I guess we won't
have any more questions.” “We are
all loyal in this school,” was the com
ment of the prn :ipal, echoed by the
large audi-ence present —American
Tribune.

a fat gobbler standing among the

A MOTHER'S STORY.
HAPPINESS OOMES AFTEE YEAES
OF SUFFEEINQ.
The Terrible Experience of a We’l Known
Otbciai’K W He.—A story That Appeals to
Every Slot her In t h»- Land.
From the Chattanooga, Tenn., Pritt.
No county official in East Tennessee
is better known and more highly es
teemed than Mr. J. C. Wilson. Circuit
Court Clerk of Phea County at Dayton,
j the home of Mr. Wilson. He enjoys
the confidence and respect of all classes,
and in the business community his
word is as good as his bond. Just now
Air. Wilson is receiving the heartiest
congratulations from his numerous
friends because of the restoration to
robust health of his estimable wife,
who has for years been a helpless
invalid. Mrs. Wilson's high standing
in society, and her many lovable traits
of character have won her a host of
friends, and her wonderful recovery
lias attracted wide-spread attention.
As the I’ress was the medium of
bringing to the invalid lady's attention
the remedy that has effected her re-
I markable cure, a reporter was sent to
' Dayton to interview Mrs. Wilson, in
order that the general public might
have the benefit of the sufferer's ex
perience and Le made aware of the
treatment that wrought such amarvel
[ ous change in her condition. The re
i porter was welcomed at the Wilson
home, and the enthusiastic lady with
becoming reluctance gave the history
of her affliction and the manner in
which she was relieved:
“Yes.” said Mrs. Wilson. “I was for
I 8 years an invalid with one of the most
distressing afflictions woman can suf
fer. For 8 years I moped around,
dragging myself with difficulty and
pain out of bed. My little ones went
untrained and were greatly neglected,
while I looked listlessly and helplessly
at the cheerless prospect before me and
them. I suffered the most intense
pains in the small of my back, and
these seemed even greater in the region
of the stomach, extending down to the
groins. 1 suffered agony sleeping or
awake. Despair is no word for the
feeling caused by that dreadful sensa
; tion of weakness and helplessness I
| constantly experienced.
"I was treated for my trouble by
' several local physicians, but they were
able to give me only temporary relief
bv the use of sedatives and narcotics.
1 had almost given up all hope of ever
securing permanent relief, when I saw
an account in the Press of a cure which
Dr Williams’ Pink Pills had effected.
1 decided to try them, as I knew the
lady who had been cured and had great
confidence in her statement. I began
to fake the pills in October, 1893. and
in two rnonf hs I was doing light house
work and attending to the children
without any bad effects or weakness,
such as I had formerly experienced.
Hitherto, I had been unable to retain
any food, but now my appetite grew
stronger, and with it came back that
old. healthy and hearty tone of the
stomach. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills
cured me. and I assure you the cure
has brought a great change in our
home. I can now rejoice in my hus
band’s success, for I feel that I have
something to live for. Who has a bet
ter right to feel this than a mother?
One thing more. I have recommended
these pills to others, and many of the
women of Dayton have taken them
with good results, and it is my greatest
pleasure to recommend to every suffer
ing woman a remedy that has done so
much for me.”
An analysis provesthat Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People contain in
a condensed form all the elements
; necessary to give new life and richness
j to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. 'l’hey are an unfailing specific
for such diseases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance,
sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nerv
ous headache, the after effects of la
grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow complexions, that tired
feeling resulting from nervous prostra
tion; all diseases resulting from vitiated
humors in the blood, such as scrofula,
chronic erysipelas, etc. They are
also a specific for diseases peculiar to
females, such as suppressions, irregu
larities, and all forms of weakness. In
men they effect a radical cure in all
cases arising from mental worry, over
work, or excesses of whatever nature.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People are now manufactured by the
Dr. Williams’ Medicine Company.
Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold in
boxes (never in loose form by the dozen
or hundred, and the public are caution
ed against numerous imitations sold in
this shape) at 50 cents a box, or six
boxes for $2.50. and may be had of all
druggists, or direct by mail from Dr.
Williams’ Medicine Company.

BROKE UP THE SHOW.
Man In the Box OtHc« Wanted a Cross-
eyed Mini to Par Double.
••I once had an idea,” said the
•hoWman. “It was brand-new and
a corner. I went to see a three
ring circus one day, and while I was
there it struck me that if I would
put a variety show on the road with
two separate and distinct turns go
ing on at tho, same time the people
would be tickled w th it and 1 would
make money. 1 figured it out that
there are many times when a man
goes to a variety show and yawns
through a turn because he has seen
it before or something of the kind-
Now. if there were two turns going
on the man could look at the other
one, you know, and would come
away saying it was a great show. It
w >uld be only occasionally we would
strike a man who would be bored
by two turns at the same
time. The plan seemed a
tip-topper. and I got a
partner who had money and we
started to put it into execution. We
hired a lot of people and put on a
show that was a pretty good one.
We had eighteen turns and we ran
them two at a time. For instance.if
there was a sorio comic on the stage
we would have a trapeze act from the
dome of the theato , and things
went along as if they had been
greased. The partner I had was a
man who had never been in the show
business before, and he did nt know
a great deal about it, as a matter of
course, Seeing that he had put up
the money. 1 let him have a few
words to say about the front of the
house. On the fifth night out wo
had a row and the show busted then
and there. Mnce then I have never
found anyone who would go into the
scheme ”
“A hat was the row about?” asked
the Buffalo Express reporter.
“Oh. my partner was in the box
office and he tried to make a cross
eyed man pay double, claiming that
be could see both turns at once and
would get twice bis money’s worth.
The cross-eyed man wouldn t have it.
and there was u fight That fight
marked the death ol the greatest
idea in the show business since the
tank was invented, for my partner
pulled out and bought an interest in
a church-furniture concern.”
CIRCULATING LIBRARIES.
The Popular Institution Has Boon in Ex-
liteaicu tar Mandrel* of Years.
From time immemorial, says All
the Year Bound, bookselle's’ shops
have been the favorite resort of all
touched with tho love of letters, and
in the days gone by, when the art of
advertising was practically unknown,
it was only by frequenting the shops
where books were sold that possible
purchasers wore able to learn what
was going on in the printing world,
to know what new books were
in course of publication and to
hear and exchange tho latest literary
gossip. These early book lovers,
one may be quite sure, would be
certain to while away many a leisure
hour by “sampling'’ the wares on
their hosts’ counters, and would
read or at least dip into, many vol
umes besides those they actually
purchased for more leisurely con
sumption at home. And hence mi 'fit
arise, very naturally, th e custom of
formally lending out books to read
for a monetary consideration Thus,
at the end of Kirkman’s “Thracian
Wonder,” published in IGG .
the bookseller maces the fol
lowing announcement: “If any
gentleman please to repair
to my house aforesaid they may be
furnished with all manner of English
or French histories, romances or
poetry, which are to be sold or read
for reasonable consideration. ” It is
not quite clear from the last few
words whether the books mi,ht be
taken away to be read, or whether the
reading was to be done in the book
seller's shop. But that books might
be taken home is evident from
the remark of a character in
Nevill’s “Boor Scholar.” printed in
1662. “Step to a bookseller’s,” he
save, “and give him this angel,
which I’ll lend you, for the use of
the many-la~guaged bibles lately
publish’t for a week. Their price is
twelve pound. When you have got
them to your study, invite your
father to your chamber, show him
your library, and tell him you are
twelve pounls out of purse for those
large volumes.’’ This was an in
genious way of getting around the
“relieving officer,’’ but it is doubt
ful, after all, whether the lending
system was put into practice to any
great extent
