Tlio Rebel That Gave a Yanlioo a
Blanket
"Ye?, they had a hard time of it
there," says a short, sallow, keen
eyed man, glancing over the illus
trated newspaper, which contains
an engraving of Mr. Augustus Van
Cleefs fine monument lo the "un
known dead" at Salisbury, N. (J.
"I guess I ought to know something
of what the southern prisons were
like during the war, for I had five
months of it in Andersonville my
self." In a Pennsylvania train, among
men of whom not a few have taken
part iu tho great struggle them
selves, and who have each and all
had at least ono relative engaged iu
it, such an announcement is quite
sufficient to command general at
tention. "No I did you, though?"
"S'poso you tell us tho story, Mib
ter; there's time enough 'fore New
York, I reckon."
"All right, if you care to hear at.
You see, when I first came over from
Eugland the war was just about be
ginning; and as there didn't seem to
be anything for me to do I thought
I'd better soldier than starve; bo I
went and 'listed right away. I
wasn't long in finding out that sol
diering aud starving might some
times mean pretty much the same
thing, for rations were mighty scarce
with us ouco or twice, when wo gDi
down on the Mississippi. I tell jc,
after lyiugall night in a rico swamp,
6 till' and wet and miserable, with
nothing to eat and only marah-watsr
to drink, it was just like the breath
of lifo to mo to hear the alarm
sounded, and to know that we'd be
at tho enemy in a few minutes
more."
At this moment a pale-faced man,
who was going from seat to seat
with a basket of newspapers and
magazines, paused for a moment to
listen, with a look of such evident
appreciation that it hardly required
the testimony of his empty sleeve to
show that he, too, had been a soldier
in his time.
"We had
PLEXTV OF FIGHTING DOWN THEKI,"
pursued the narrator, as the newspa
per man passed on; "but most of it
was just the sort that I didn't like
skirmishing among thick woods,
where all you could see of yoar
enemy was the smoke of his piece
as he let fly at you, where lots of
our fellows were shot down without
ever knowing who hurt 'em. I'd a
pretty narrow escape myself that
-way one night. I was standing sen
try at the outposts when a reb et
slap at me from the thicket, and just
caught me across the cheek heie;
you see, the mark. I got behind a
tree quick as winking, and there I
stuffed my jacket with grass and put
it up against a tree with a stick
through it and my cap on tho top,
to look as if I was peering around
for a shot ; and then I dropped doun
and crawled away into the bushis.
Presently I heard the crack of the
reb's piece again, and looking out
just caught sight of his arm and
shoulder, and brought him down
with one shot.
"Well, not long after that, I a ad
some more got picked up by the
southern cavalry and it wasn't a
great while before wo all found our
selves hard and fast in Anderson
ville; aud there we did have a tine
Bure enough.
"The place has Deen described so
' often, that I dare say you have a
pretty good idea what it was Hie.
It was a great, wide, swampy field,
with a stockade around it, ins de
which thousands of us were cooped
up like cattle in a pen. If a iran
happened to have a blanket and two
or three bits of sticks, so he could
rig up a shelter against the sun and
rain, all tho better for him; if ho
hadn't, ho just took his chance; and
I can tell you there woro mighty
few blankets among us, and rmuy
of us had Jittlc enough clothes ci
ther. "All day long the sun kept nest
ing us alive, and at night the damp
and chill ate into our very bores,
aud sot us shivering till our teeth
rattled again. As to food, mary's
the time I've gone all day upoii a
couple of biscuits, and small ouch at
that ; aud as to water, all we had ipas
from a stream that ran through a
cypress swamp, aud you may think
what kind of 6tuff that was."
"You must have been
POWERFUL HUXGRT,
I reckon," remarked a sympathjtic
listener.
"Hungry ? Well, I'll just tell you
something about that: One da? a
young fellow, tho son of a gemsral
that had us in charge, came into the
pen to look around, with his little
poodle dog following him. Be'd
hardly turned his back when that
dog was chopped up aud eaten bod
ily; and when his master came to
look for him there was nothing left
but a bit of skin about so big. Tney
stopped our food for a whole lay
because we wouldn't say who did
it; but we told no tales not we!
"Now, I should tell you that to
make sure of our not 'scaping, they'd
run a wire all around inside, about
eighteen feet from the 6tockade ; ind
that eighteen feet was called the
'dead line,' because if a prisoner
only put his head over that wire he
got a bullet in him the next minute
from one of the sentries.
"Well, one night, late in the fall,
I'd got far as I could to the dsad
line, eo as the'stockade might shel
ter me a bit from the cold wind.
(Ugh! how it did bite through me
that night). I was juBt wondering
if I could live through till morning,
and hardly caring whether I did or
not, when a sen try just outside gave
a 'P'ist I that made me look.
"Say, Yank,' I guess you'll want
a blanket to night. Catch hold of
this.' Aud he rolled up his own
and chucked it to me. 'I can get
along without it.'
" God bless you I' says I and that
was all. I chucked it back to him
the first thing next morning, so as
he shouldn't get found out, but I
guess it saved my life all the same.
"Not long after that a lot of us
were exchanged, aud I among the
rest. I can tell you I hardly felt the
ground under my feet when I went
out of that filthy hole a free man
though just at first I was as weak as
a baby, and could hardly aland
without being held."
"And did you never hear no more
o' that feller as giv 'yer the blanket ?'
asked ono of the audience with
UNDISGUISED INTEREST.
"Never, worse luck ; aud I don't
suppose I over shall now, for it's
fifteen years since it all happened,
and I've never been south since."
At that moment a sharp voice said
close to his ear:
"Say, Tank, I guess yotCll toant a
blanket to-night!"
Tho soldier started as if ho had
been shot, and turning hastily found
himself confronted by the thin face
of tho one-armed newspaper man,
lit up with a knowing smile.
"Why, if "here ain't tho very man
himself I" shouted the narrator, seiz
ing him with both hands. "Well,
who'd ever have thought it? You're
just going along to New York with
me, old chap, and you don't over go
back to peddling papers while I'm
about."
And the ex-prisoner was as good
as his word David Ker, in Good
Company.
Rising: City.
December 19th, 1881.
Editor Journal: From present
appearances the corn crop in this
part of our county must be nearly
gathered, and by the first of Janu
ary it will he largely marketed.
There is a good deal of small grain
to be threshed, on account of the
unfavorable weather in the fall and
partly from the small number of
machines to thresh the large amount
of grain. Unless the company re
siding in Omaha "but owning the
elevators here and dictate the pri
ces," remove some of the dissatis
faction already manifested, a large
share of the marketed grain tributa
ry to this place will soon be diverted
to other places. In fact that diver
sion has already commenced, and to
a large extent, too. But we farmers
can stand it if those doing business
here can. So, who cares ?
No coal here, nor no prospects of
ever having any; but we hear but
little complaint, the weather being
so pleasant and a fair supply of cobs
for some time to come. But in
justice to the inhabitants U. P. mag
nates, when they give the exclusive
control of the coal supply to any
one person year after year, who
never stocks up ahead early in tho
fall, and seldom has coal over twenty-four
hours at any ouo time, ought
to see to it that the business is ener
getically and properly carried. Their
interests assuredly demands it, and
the very lives even of the resident
and family may often depend up
on it.
A. W. Rising, residing close to
the village, has 150 bead of youug
cattle. D. W. Rising has also quite
a large number.
From the mildness of the winter
we hope the fruit crop of Nebraska,
in all its species and varieties, wild
and cultivated, will be superb next
season.
Mr. Editor, do you not think the
counties in which we reside ought
by this time to be in the enjoyment
of a good horticultural society?
After years of planting, is" it not
about time that the veterans in fruit
culture met together at least onco a
year, compared notes, showed tho
specimens of their labor of years,
aud reap the benefit of the success
or failure of each other?
Why Not?
President Arthur's recommen
dation in his message for tho retire
ment of silver certificates from
circulation and to repeal the law
providing for the coining ofBilver,
may meet the hearty endorsement
of Wall Street, but it encounters the
disapproval of tho people of the
west. There may be good reasons
for 6uch a recommendation in the
interests of the great money centers
ou account of the glut of the circu
lating medium in the market, but it
is nevertheless a plain fact that the
people of the west have never suf
fered from too much money nor are
there aoy signs that threaten such
danger in the near future; hence
Secretary Windom's policy in the
treasury department is preferable to
Secretary Folgcr's, and President
Garfield's administration has met
with more popularity in the west
than President Arthur's will meet if
he 6hall endeavor to force these
financial plans through congress.

'Maccaroni' makes an excellent
variety in the scarcity of vegetables,
and should be much better known,
apd more used by tho masses here.
It is the Btaple food of the common
people in Itality, indeed of most
classes. It is made of strongly glu
tenous wheat flour; hence is flesh
forming, while its starch supplies
heat. It may be cooked tender in
boiling water, seasoned with salt,and
eaten with or even without cream
sauce, or milk or butter. After
boiling it can be put in a pudding
dish, with about a quarter of its
weight of grated cheese sprinkled
over it, aud lightly baked. The ad
dition of the cheese makes this diet
about equal to lean meat as a flesh
former. Ripe peas shouid be more com
monly used. A bowl of good pea
soup is as satisfying as a hearty din
ner on a cold day. To make a gallon
of it, wash a pint of peas and soak
them over night ; then boil in five
pints of water, gently Biramering
three hours or so, until soft. With
a potato masher rub the soup thro'
a colander or wire sieve. A pound
of beef or ham bone may bo boiled
with the pea3. Tho soup may be
seasoned iu various ways with
ouious, cloves pepper, sugar any or
all of them, to make them most pal
atable. Bean soup Biay bo made
similarly.
Stewed carrots are far more nour
ishing aud economical human food
than is generally known, aud they
should not be mainly left (or animals.
Scrape tho roots, chop into small
pieces, and stow in water until very
tender. They may bo seasoned with
flour-and-buttor sauce all the better
with cream added and in various
othor ways. Some liko them bi
quant with a dash of Cayenne.

Tho people of Nebraska may well
be allowed to indulge liberally in
the sentiment of State pride. It is
but a few short years since these
plains aud undulating prairies were
the exclusive habitation of wild
beasts and still wilder rod men, all
wandering in tribes and herds in
pursuit of their prey. Nebraska is
the youngest but oue in the sister
hood of thirty-eight states, and yet
she has already achioved a proud
position before the world. Her fer
tile lauds are being rapidly occupied
aud cultivated by industrious, enor
getic and cultured citizens, and sho
is already pouring forth anuually
into the food marts of tho world
millions of bushels of cereals aud
hundreds of thousands of daintily
fatted bullocks, while fruit men and
gardeners aro successfully (supply
ing our tables with those luxurious
viands which peculiarly distinguish
civilized lifo from barbarism. In
social, civil, literary and religious
institutions and conveniences, we
aro more fully supplied than any
other community of people wbo
have had so brief an existence, and
yet new organizations aud now
structures are springing up almost
daily in every direction. Our peo
ple are largely of that enterprising
class who will not bo content with
the privation of anything tending to
elevate them in the scale of human
progress. -Omaha Telegram,
Alfred Adams, age about twelve
years son of Rev. R. G. Adams, was
run over by a wagon loaded with
corn, last Thursday evening, the 8th
inst. Tbe boy was about to dis
mount from the wagon while it was
in motion, and losing his holt on the
high side board, he fell and the bind
wheel passed over his stomach. Mr.
S. D. Griggs picked the little fellow
up and carried him into the house.
Medical aid was summoned and ex
amination developed tho fact that
there were no internal injuries and
no bones broken. A couplo of ribs
only being loosened. A couple'of
-overcoats, which he had on his arms,
by lessening the weight of the wheel
as it passed over him, probably
saved his life. Osceola Record.
People who are in a position to
know say that Frank HattoD, who
succeeds Judge Tynor as assistant
postmaster general, "knows more
about tho postal service than Tynor
ever dreamed of." That is easily
explained. Hatton is an editor. So
is Secretary Blaine, and President
Arthur is a printer. What tho de
partments at Washington need is
more editors though we made a
resolve at tho beginning of tho year
not to accopt a government office.

enteen years of ago was accidentally
shot last Friday at her father's
home, near Olean, this county, by

The ball went in a little above the

SPAVIN CUREfB
W t- feel positive that every man can have perfect succsm ia every case
if he will only u e good common sense in applying KENDALL'S SPA VET
CURE, and persevere in bad cases of long standing. Head below the
experience of others.
From COL. L. T. FOSTER.
Youngstown, O., May 10, 1&50.
Dr. B.J. Kendall .fc Co.,Gents: I had
a very valuable Uambletontian colt
which I prized very highly; he bad a
large bone spavin ou one Joint and a
smaller one on the other which made
him very lamo; I had him under the
charge of two Veterinary Surgeons
which failed to cure him. I was one
day reading tht; advertisement of Ken
dall's Spavin Cure in the Chicago Ex
press, 1 determined at once to try it
and got our Druggists here to send" for
it, they ordered three bottles; I took
them all and thought I would give it a
thorough trial, I utcd it according to
directions and by the fourth day the
colt ceased to be lame, and the lumps
had entirely disappeared. I used but
one bottle and the colts limbs are as free
from lumps and as smooth as any horse
in the state, lie is entirely cured. The
cure was so remarkable that 1 let two
of my neighbors have the remaining two
bottles, who are now using It. Very
Respectfully, L. T. Fostkk. "

St. Albans. Vt., Jan. 2, 18SO.
Dr. B. J. Kendall & Co., Gents: In
reply to your letter I will say that my
experience with " Kendalls Spavin
Cure" ha been very satisfactory in
deed. Three or four years ago I pro.
cured a bottle of your agent, and with
It, cured a horse of lameness caused by
a spavin. Lat season my horse became
very lame and I turned him out for a
few weeks when be became better, hut
when I put him on the road he grew
worse, whpn I discovered that a ring
bone was forming. 1 procured a bottle
of Kendall's Spavin Cure and with less
than a bottle cured him so that he I not
lame, neither can the bunch be ton ml.

months' growth, nearly half as large as
a bens egg, and completely stopped the
lameness and removed the enlargement.
I havo worked the horse ever since very
hard, and he never has ben lame, nor
could I .ever set any difference lit the
size of the hock joints since I treated
him with "Kendall's Spavin Cure."
