Ifutr nn Ohio Hey Died.
A dispatch from Atlanta , ( la. , says : Frank
O. McNory of Now Athens , Hnrrhon
county , Ohio , was a member of Captain Mo
Croady's company of thu Una Htiutlrod and
Twenty-sixth rcgitnont , Ohio Infantry. Ho
VUJA always a bravo solJIor , but after tlio
battle of tno Wlidornow In VI rglnla , May 0 ,
1B01 , was missing , nnd was nuvor afterward
eon by bis comrades or friends , It was
thought that ho had been killed and burled
among the unknown dead. T. Kyle , Mo-
Nary'4 cousin , who now live * In Klx Mills ,
IVIuhklngum county , Ohio , wrote a letter to
General Gordon of Georgia , who was In the
battle of the Wilderness on the robcl side ,
describing Frank McNnry , giving an account
of his army llfo and asking whether ho had
ever happened to know or hoar anything
nbout him. It thus happened to fall under
Bo notice of James M. Baldwin ofllnynlo ,
Floyd county , Georgia , who was a member
of Company D , Phillips legion of ( Jcorgia
volunteers , who had been wounded early In
the morning of the Wlldorncus battlo.and who
had In his possession n little book of malms ,
In which was written on the i\y \ leaf , "to
Frank MoNary , Ono Hundred and Twenty ,
sixth Ohio volunteers , 1SIH. " Mr. Baldwin
nays that after being wounded In the thlch
e.irly In the morning of the battle ho was
carried to Uio rear nnd put Into n Hold
bospltal. As the day advanced both
union nnd confederate soldiers were brought
there and among thoin was a young union
eoldlor who had received n terrible wound In
the right breast. Ho was put bcsldo Bald
win , who saw that ho wai suffering terribly
and did all bo could to relieve htm , giving
blm water out of his canteen.
After several hours of suffering the un-
fcnown union soldier boy raised himself on
bis hands uud foot , crawled for n distance of
eight or ( en feet , than lay down suddenly ,
turned on his bacic nnd In a moment was
dead. As ho bad started to crawl along , a
llttlo book of psalms dropped from his bro'ist.
It was stained with blood from the wound.
This llttlo book Baldwin picked up nnd kept
Is a memento of the day's sad experiences.
It contains the evidence of the Identity of the
' lead union soldier , Frank MeNiirv. Baldwin
law ho was burled nnd ho thinks ho could re.
( urn to the exact , spot today. Mr. Baldwin
kas returned the book of psalms to McNary's '
fclattvo. After picking It up ho had written
in the lly sheet the following memorandum :
'Tho former owner of this book was Killed In
the battle of the Wilderness In Virginia May
) , ' 1804. He Is to mo unknown , but 1 hope ho
In heaven. "
A War WnlK
I enlisted as u private in the Second Louis
iana volunteers In 1801 , says n writer in the
Detroit. Free Press. My llrst real soldiering
Was on the Yorktown peninsula. Whllo
Lhoro or at Suffolk ( I forgot which ) there
Utrollcd Into camp a young boy not ever toner
or twelve years of age , who attached himself
to ono of the neighboring regiments. Who
bo was , his nameor whore bo came from I
cannot now recall. Ho was looked upon as
too man's child , aad as such found genial fel
lowship among the soldiers. After wo had
failed back to Richmond nnd lifter those tor-
tlblosoven days of battle the army was reor
ganized and the troops brigaded by states , so
I lost sight of our Carolina neighbors and
klso the boy. At tbo second Manassas , on
August 20 , IfiGS , our brigade ( Stark's poor
\ / follow , ho fell at Sharpsburg ) was lying in
Iho woods nearly opposite that "terrible deep
tut. " When the dripping , spattering Iho of
the Yankee skirmishers drove In our out-
lookers ( as "old Jack ! ' didn't linvo a counter
iklrmlsh line ) the cry "Forward 1" runtr
Along our lines and wo advanced and run al
most Into the Yankees , who , giving us a
deadly volley , fell back rapidly across o field
find Into the woods beyond , whore a battery ,
eupportod by a swarm of troops , was posted.
Nothing checked us. Under a withering flro
of mlnles nnd canister wo pressed on. Bush-
rod Johnston riding nhoad , with his sword
run through his hat , waving us on until wo
waved him out of our line of tire by telling
him to clear the way.
When wo arrived within about a hundred
yards of the battery the line was halted , and
under this raking lire the alignment was cor
rected and the men "right-dressed" to bo
Bhot down , I have often thought that that
command of "halt" might havo' been heroic ,
tut It certainly "was not war ; " however , not
a man faltered. Again forward , and wo drove
Straight for tbo guns. Just then I felt a
thud , n sting , n twist around and fell. A
rnlnio had struck my pocknt bible edgewise ,
" " tnd , passing nearly through the now tosta-
% „ tnent part , dug n trench across my loft sldo
nto the flesh. With the blood spurting from
py side I started rearward , while our boys ,
bravo follows , wont up and ever the battery ,
scattering Its supports Ilka chaff. As I
, itrugglcd bacU ever the Held , the dead and
tvounucd , blue and gray alike , lying all

nnd noticed that our guns wore plunging to
the front under lash and shout to seize the
hills whence to pour shot Into the now re
treating foo. I can BCU them now , tumbling ,
bouncing , surging to gain the front. What
else did I seel So close I could almost reach

GoiiornI Kolton'N Jioxlnjr Match.
General John C. Kolton , adjutant general
Of the army , was an aide-de-camp to General
Jlalleclc during nil the tlmo thatofllcor was
- - genornMn-chlef of the army , nnd his room on
the pround floor of the old brick war depart
ment building looked out upon the courtyard
between that and the navy department build-
Ing.
During these years of the war a small force
of troops , not more than a battalion , was
camped In that courtyard while doing special
guard nnd orderly duty at the war dopart-
inont , nnd as the men had considerable time
Oil duty they naturally engaged In many
sports to iiass the tlmo.
TVy bad no thought that their fun had un
noticed observers , but it had , and General
Kolton was ono of the most Interested , for ho
lias all his llfo boon devoted to athletic
pport-s. which Included boxing and Jumping.
Boxing matches seemed to bo very popular ,
Kolton soon noticed that In dexterity and
u tull sergeant was by far the superior
pf all his comrades , From bis West Point
{ lays Kelton had excelled in boxing , and as
day after day passed and lie watched the ser-
count's work ho became possessed of an am
bition to put on the gloves with hlui.
Fliinlly ono day ho sent far the sergeant ,
nnd told him to coino to his quarters that ev
ening , The man duly reported himself. Tbo
colonel explained that ho had watched him
boxing with his comrades , and as ho was
fond of that himself , ho wanted the sergeant
to put on the gloves nnd try a round. The
lorgcant hesitated , but being urged , put on
Iho gloves In '
General Keltou's private gym-
Jiaslum.
The sergeant hold his hands well , but kept
pn the defensive , making no attempt to load.
Kolton dropped bis hands and said : "Look
bcrol When you are with me nnd our coats
Bro off , it Isn't Colonel Kolton nnd Sergeant
Jones , but just two men fond of boxing , and
now you reach out and box. "
That settled It , and tbo sergeant warmed
up and lot himself out ; but the sequel Is
best told In the aorgeunt's own words , as ho
contlded the story a day or two later to a
comrade :
"When the colouol told mo to never mind ,
( Jack , but lot out , I Just thought I'd glvo

"I seldom see a notice of the donth of some
) ftcor ) prominent In the war of the rebellion
_ iut that I am able to recall some personal
reminiscence or recollection of the person , "
observed an Old Timor in the Frco Press.
"Thus today ( May 4) ) I notice the mention of
the Illness unto doatb of General Thomas T.
Crlttondon , ox governor of Missouri , nt
Kensas City , In that stnlo. I mot General-
then colonel Crittondon a few days after the
battle of Shlloh. Ho was brought down to
the boat on the river on which I was quar
tered suffering from a severe attack of ma
larial fevor. With Major Cross of tbo regular
army , then quartermaster general of the
Army of the Tennessee , I helped to nurse
him into convalescence. Tom Crittcndcn was
ono of the most gotdnl and unassuming gen
tlemen I have ever mot. Ho frequently gave
mo his experience of the battle which had
Just taken pliico. Ho said that In some of
the rebel attacks on the union positions the
balls flow so thick that the branches
of the trees wore clipped off as If done
with n knlfo and fell to the ground ia show
ers of spray. The peculiar nolso made by
the rldo bullets nj they cut through the air
were so Incessant that ho felt If ho were to
stretch out his arm from his body it would
certainly bo hit. Ho wns a nephew of the
celebrated Jobn Jordan Crlttondon , the
friend of Henry Clay , and was born In Ala
bama In 1823. Ho was promoted to bo briga
dier general wbllo on the boat on which I
was quartered with him. Ho was taKoii
prisoner nt the baltlo of Murfrcosboro on
July 1U , 18(1. ( , and not released until Octolwr
of that year. At Shlloh ho commanded nn
Indiana regiment. After the war ho removed -
moved to Missouri. Ho had served as lieu
tenant In the Mexican war. Curiously , bis
cousin , Thomas Loonldas Crlttonden , son of
John 1. Crlttondon of Kentucky , commanded
a brigade at the battle of Shlloh. Ho also
served as lieutenant-colonel of a Kentucky
regiment during the Moxlcan war. "
1'iit on Guard.
A young Irishman paced up and down bis
lonely beat , probably thinking of the strnngo
situation In which ho found himself. As ho
reached ono extremity of the post , the officer
of the day suddenly nnd mysteriously presented -
sontod himself nt the other ond.
. Although considerably surprised , the re
cruit retained his prosanco of mind. With a
snap that would have done credit to a vet
eran , ho brought his rlllo to the position of
"charge , " and cried out In stentorian tones ,
"VVhocums thorl"
"Ofllcer of the day , " came the modest
answer from out thoidarkncss.
"Halt , offosur ov-tho'-day , " commanded
tbo sentry In a manner almost threatening.
Then advancing somewhat nearer , the re
cruit recognized the visitor , who was clothed
for midnight work.
"Oh , soyo'vo got 'round ' , hov yoz ! " in
quired the solicitous sentry in n , brogue so
thick that you could spread butter on It.

word , the noble defender of onr country
pounded on the window of the guard house.
The sergeant responded quickly to the
alarm.
After hastily arousing the dozen sleeping
members of the guard , ho rushed out Into the
night air , but before ho could obtain his bearIngs -
Ings , bo was greeted by the young Irishman ,
who said "Oh. it's ' '

Pious Corporal Pensioned.

late corporal of company 1C , Eightieth Indl-
nnn vnlnnt nm In wlilfih I * irivon nn m'CIl

more liberal construction of the law relating
to "lino of duty" than heretofore. On April
1 , 1803 , Johnson , with the llrst sergeant of
his comtmnyobtalned a pass to attend church
across the Green rlvor , atMumfordvlIlo , Ky. ,
athi which point his command was guarding a
bridge. While crossing the river on n log
Johnson fell , fracturing his loft kuoo. The
casp was originally rejected on the ground
that the soldier at the tlmo of the accident
was not In line of duty. Assistant Secretary
Bussoy takes a contrary vlow , and allows the
pension sought. Ho .says : "If the claimant
had ; , by authority of his superior ofllcor , been
crossing tbo rlvor for the purpose of obtain-
tatmng necessary physical sustenance , ho
would certainly have bean in line of duty , it
being n necessary Incident to the service. To
told that a similar mission for spiritual sus
tenance , which is also presumed to have boon
necessary , placed him out of line of duty ,
would bo depriving our soldiorv of Christian
teaching : , nnd therefore a conflict with mlll-
: ary law which recognizes the necessity or at
ioast the propriety of it. "
Johnson's Indifference to Danger.
Several anecdotes are given in Harper's
Weekly illustrating General Johnson's In-
dlfforouco to danger In battle , and then this
citation is made of his opinion regarding a
familiar household utensil : "I am the most
timid man Tn the world , and dreadfully
afraid of a kerosene lamp. The other day a
servant put ono In my room. I was but
lialf dressed , and I hurried out as fast as I
could run. I know It was going to burst.
Then think of Itl The very next night some
kind of a patent Kerosene lamp wns sent ir > o
as a present , and the donor lit It , explaining
to toe the method of working It , Such was
my nervousness that I never know ho wns

extinguished the lamp , I tried to rcavm out
to myself what n paltroon I was. Wo got
hardened in tlmo but I assure you nothing
could ever Induce mo to light or extinguish
a kerosene lamp. An enemy armed with
kerosene lamps would drive mo off the field.
I should bo paulo personified , "

"When the promlso .was made to orgnnzo'

Minds of tlio Sioux

Mr. Sherman Canfleld of this city , private
.ccrctary . to DufTalo Bill of the Wild West
; how. writes from Mainz , Gormauy , under
date of May 5 , to his parents , Mr. nnd Mrs.
jcorgo Canfleld , as follows :
Wo landed nt Antwerp. Of our ocean voy-
: to there Is but little to say. Tlio weather
was nil that could bo deslrod. Nothing of
loto transpired. The Indians were very
iclc and 1 think the sight of land was moro
ileasing to Short Bull , Kicking Bear , ot al. ,
han would have boon a glimpse of their
Messiah in the bad lands ot Dakota last win-
or.
or.At
At Antwerp , In company with Colonel
Jody nnd the Indians , I visited the cathe
dral , a very old mid famous structure with
massive and finely carved pillars and walls
lecoratod with sonioTJf Rubins' most famous
masterpieces.
The faces of the moro Intellectual Indians
vero n study as they gazed upon the paint
ngs nnd images representing our Savior in
various attitudes. Wlion wo vldwed the
> icco representing the burial place of Christ
md gnzOil upon tlio recumbent figure. Short
lull could-no longer restrain himself. Ho
began to talk vorv solemnly and eloquently
about the recent Messiah craze In our own
country.
When wo reached the several groups of
small Images showing the dilYernnt stnqes in
the Journey up Mount Calvary , Kicking Hear
broke out and told his men that these things
proved conclusively tuattho Savior had como
to the white man onro upon u time and that
they had mistreated Illm.ovoji compelled Him
to carry tha cross upon which Ilo was "ham
mered. " Ho told his people that when their
Mfssluh should como they would treat Him
differently.
Colonel Cody quieted him , however , by
tolling him that there never could bo but ono
Savior and that he was for all mankind , for
the red as well as the white man.
The Fort Sheridan Indians are well satis-
fled nnd look upon Colonel Cody as their
guardian angel. They nil think they would
have been severely punished for the part they
took in the late uprising hail they rem.ilnod
in America. They have acknowledod it
would bo the height of folly for them to again
talto up arms against tlio whiles. They say
that they see enough while people every day
to wipe out of existence the millro Indian
race , or , as ono of the chiefs very character
istically remarked , "If every stop taitcn by
all of the Indians In tlio world killed a white
man the loss would not bo noticed. " You
cannot blame them for thinking thus , for wo
are showing to from fifteen to twenty-live
thousand poopto daily , nnd , so far , have vis
ited only the smaller cities containing from
soventy-llvo to ono hundred thousand inhab
itants. The country is crazy ever the
show , nnd people como for miles
around , especially the farmers , some
oven walking fifteen or twenty miles to
see the show. They all go away well pleased.
The enthusiasm Is unbounded and "bravo 1
bravo t" constantly resounds from the grand
stand.
Wbiio wo were at Mannheim , the colonel
took a party of us Including the Indians to
Heidelberg. Wo spent half a day wandering
through the ruins of what wai once ono of
tbo grandest old castles of Germany. Ono Is
greatly Impressed with the grandeur of oven
the ruins and the many old relics'In the mu
seum , such as cross-bows , arrows , battle
axes , armors , etc. , artistically arranged , fur
nish material enough for a day of sight-sco-
Ing. Tills castle was twlco destroyed by the
French and no effort has been made to re
store it the third time. Ono of the towers
was blown intact from the main part and
lauded upright In a deep n vlno which it
overlooked. There it has remained for cen
turies and asluo from being somewhat de
cayed looks us though it miyht have Loon
built whore It stands.
Wo visited the huifo wlno cask , with a ca
pacity of 50XXJ ( gallons , from which
tbo occupants of the castle drew
their beverage. On the top of the
cask Is a platform upon which twelve
couple can dance with case. Here , uo Uoubu ,
numbers of Hgbt-hoartcd Germans and their
frauloins whllod away many a pleasant hour.
The castle overlooks the Nockarand the
view of the surrounding country obtained
from tbo remaining towers Is grand.
The disgust of the Germans ever tbo de
struction of these eld castles by tbo French
U ill-concoalod. They never tire of telling
.von of tbo grandeur of this or that castle before -
fore the defacement.
Wo are nuking three and four-day stands.
It is a continual case of rustic. Wo have
over three hundred people all told and the
Wild West of today is very unliuo the Wild
West of a few years ago. It is a mammoth
concern now , nnd the Germans marvel at
the Yankee ingenuity nnd energy which uro
displayed in handling It. As a
rule , the Germans are a glorious raco.
They nro orderly and good-natured
utid very easy to handlo. I have not scon to
exceed 'throo intoxicated men in the vast
crowds to which wo have played , while a
bout at fisticuffs Is unheard of. Duelling
with swords , however , is very popular among
the students , nnd ono who does not carry
three or four scars on his loft cheolc it "no't
in It. " The scars are never fatal and the
masks that are worn protect the Jugular and
the eyes , exposing only the face.
Wo are all woll.
Do Horses Talk ?
Wo have our doubts on this subject , but If
they { ' could , wo bollovo their first words would
bo to us k masters nlwayn to keep a bottle of
Holler's Barbed Wire Liniment on hand. It
is unequalled for cuts , bruises and sprains.
In fact , horses fairly cry for it.
