Waslilngton corrcspontlcnco of the Ololic-Domocrnt , Mnrch 2 : This morn intf I uit down to toll the readers of OIK of the BtrntiRo romances of the war , cul minntcd thla very week. On Friday I stepped into the grca pension bureau , nnd ns Boon its th'o coin misHl ncr , General John C. Black , hn > shaken himself loose ttom n score o visitors 1 asked him if there was tiny thing noW. "There is alwaya eomothlng1 nev licro , " ho tnid. "Tho granting of i pension ! b rot , only news , but most im jmrtant nowato somebody , nnd the re clpient oflor expresses himself in term1 of pathetic grati'udb which indicati that it is almost a now birth to him. " "Lot mo sec , " ho added after n min utc , touching an electric key upon hii table that I suDpose tingled an inaudibli boll in seine remote portion of the mam moth 'establishment , "yesterday then developed a nnrrativo that soon to cove : one of the hitherto secret tragedies o the rebellion. It is u btory worth tell inp. " "Captain , " ho resumed , when a tal chief of divioion appeared with an arm Ichs sleeve , "plcabo toll thia gentlomai nbout Hugh Thompson. " I followed the tall man into the tro incndijus court of the building , arouni the long corridors , to a distant room nnd there ho ] ) reduced a pile of docu inenta which I studied with great inter cst during the next two hours. Indeed , it was one of the unwrittor romances of the war , a roinani'o over laid with a tragedy , as General Blacl had intimated. Let mo boo if I can tell the story as i ( cnino to mo : Before the war there lived in tin rural town of Van \Vert , Van "Wer county , Ohio , a young follow in hi teens named Hugh Thomuson. Ho wa ns bright as the average boy , a smar \vorkor , and popular with all the girl of h'a ' neighborhood. In the spring of 1801 , when the cchoo of Edmund Rullln's gun lired on Sumto wont rolling angrily down the Mautnci valley , Hugh at nineteen years of age was swept into the tide and borne oil t < the war for the Union. Fortune cas him into Company II , ICth Ohio volun tcors. Hugh rnthcr liked soldiering. Tin excitement exhilarated him. Hi showed considerable dexterity in tin manual of arms considerable alacrit ; in the drill. At the end of threi months lie ro-onlisled for three yearn nnd started on that crusade which in volved the serious battles in Kentucky and Tonnobbeo over the border into tin Gulf states. IJo wrote homo to his mother and tolt her ho was well and not afraid , and h < would come homo "in a little while.1 Ho even wrote to a pretty little coupii and told her the harmless gossip of tin regiment. Then c.imo the tough battle of Chat tanooga on September 10 , in which tin Fifteenth Ohio lost almost n hundrcc men. Early in the day Hugh was hi bv a bullet in the head , which "madt mm spin around as if ho was diz/.y"bu ho rofubod to go to the rear , and whoi the order bamo to charge the enciny'i works ho seized his musket and fell ii with the rest. The regiment was mo with a hot tire and a solid wall of hoi diors in gray , and was compelled to fal back , leaving a dozen or morostrotehci on the Held. Among these was Ilugl Thompson , with a shell wound in hi thigh and a bayonet jab in his check. Ho was been no more. Ho was droppet from the rolls as dead. At homo hii family mourned for this martyr , and tin village parson preached a sermon will "a moral" to it , the moral of patriot ! ) fidelity , and the father lamented bin aloud and cried : "Hugh was my boy and ho was shot at the battle of Chat tanoogal" In Whitolaw Reid's "Ohio in tin War , " Volume II , I Hnd this story "Hugh Thompson , wounded and missiii ) at the battle of Chattanooga. No fur tlior record found. " A commonplace story , you will say and this seems to bo the end of Hug ] Thompbon. For year followed year in the oil homo in the Maumeo valley , and Ilugl became a shadowy memory. His motlioi grow old and died. His favorite sisto died. His brothers died. At thoi graves the old man bowed his head am feebly wept and baid : "Hugh was mj boy , and ho was shot at the battle o Chattanooga. " A whole generation passed away ani another generation came. Van Wor grow to bo a city. Hugh's father go to bo an old man and waited for th reaper. Then a curious thing happened. In the fall of 1HS7 a half-witted follo\ attracted the attention of a post of th Grand Army of the Republic in Licav on worth , Kan. Ho was in middle life nnd said ho was a soldier , and althoug ] ho couldn't exactly remember , h thought ho was enlisted in eomo Obi regiment. What company ho bolonuci to , who his commanders and comrade wore , where ho was born , what battle ho was engaged in all those import ant facts he hud forgotten. But ho re inomborcd the manual of arms , am evidently know something of a soldier' duty. Ilia name was Henry Thompson ho said. The veterans listened to him. Th first ho remembered of himself , ho declared clared , was in the fall of 187" , and whoi consciousness suddenly came to him h was walking along a country road ii Illinois with a gripsaek in his hand "It boomed as if I had just waked up , ho says , "for I could not remember any thing that over happened to mo bofor that. " Ho was hungry and went into IIOUBO to got bomothing to oat , II probably acted queerly , for the folk thought him crazy and hurried hit along. In spite of his lapse of memory am his mental aberration ho managed t got a living , for lie was industrious an willing nnd he had no expensive habit : and people hired him to do small jol requiring llttlo skill or training , Fc years ho worked around by the day. 1 187/5 / ho married a young woman in corresponding position in life , but i live months Bho diod. Ho resumed his wanderings froi place to place , and in Iowa , nbout 1671 lie married a second time a womu with porhnps more sense than he ha retained , for , after a few months' oxpei ioneo of wedded bliss , she rcs-olved t better her forlorn condition if she couli In the torso am ) epigrammatic languag of l.er hubband , "bho called mo a darno old fool and lit out. " Ho waited a fo years for her to come buck and then gc b divorce. Hearing the call of the unUmc prairies he drifted to Kansas , and there floated from woodpile to woodpile , from plowtail to plowtail , up ntul uown the state. Finally ho found another living woman who was willing to maary him , find lie entered a quarter section at the land ofllcc. bought a prairie pchooner and n lame horse on ci'cdit , and estab lished connubial felicity in the wagon among the gopher hills. While sleep ing in the wagon one night a terrible thunder-storm came up the worst ho had ever known and balls of lightning rolled in his eyes , and his head nchcu so that ho thought "it would split open. " It almost paralyzed him ; but next day , when ho ventured to crawl out ho found , he ays , that his head had cleared up a little , and now he remembered for the lint time that he had been a soldier in tome Ohio regiment. He did not yet recall most of the cir cumstances of his life mentioned above ; they wore found out by the subsequent investigation of his friends. For it is a well known fact that a man may marry repeatedly without being entirely pos- _ bcsned of his faculties , or indeed having any f-onso at all. It was last summer , I believe that the Grand Army men of Kansas got together scraps of his recol lections nnd published them in an arti cle in an obscure country newspaper under the head : "Lost Henry Thompson. " Then another strange thing hap pened. A Van Wert man sat down by the win dow one morning while his wife fussed around to fry some pork and potatoes for breakfast. To occupy his time while waiting for that important event he picked up a fragment of a newspaper on the floor the bit remaining after he had kindled the fire with the principal part. Afterwards after trying to account for the prcbonco of that newspaper , he concluded that it must have come in around a pair of cobbled shoes. In that fragment ho rend : "Lost Henry Thompson"and how ho dreamed ho had been a member of some Ohio regiment. After breakfast ho drove over to Thompson's. "Say , Mr. Thompson , what became of your boy IlughV" "Hugh , Hugh , " said the old man , "why , my boy Hugh was bhot at Chat tanooga. " They compared notes. The old man's hope was laid in the boy's grave , but it feebly came to life. "It is possible , " ho admitted. A corre spondence was opened with the Grand Army of the Republic in Kansas , which resulted in the lost boldScr being sent on to Van Wert , O. In vain. Ho did not know the town. Ho did not remember ever having seen it before. IIo did not recognize his surviving comrades of Company II , nor they him , fora quarter of a century had p'asaod. His father had gone blind. But there were two or three impor tant clews , lie had kept a tattered tes tament and did not know how ho came by it. It contained an extra fly leaf , bearing bomo patriotic doggerel in a faded female hand. There was no name and nobody remembered it. But the orderly sergeant of his com pany was still living , and he baid : "I was with Hugh Thompson when lie was struck in the head with a bullet glanc ing downward from a limb. I examined the wound and that one he afterward got from a bayonet in the jaw and a shell wound in the hip before he was left on the Held. " Wounds wore found to correspond. "And , ' baid another solid citizen , "if this is Hugh ho has a scar on the right ankle , made by the accidental clip of a broadax when wo were building a barn. " The doctor who dressed it was summoned , and declared that it was the same as nearly as ho could judge. The sergeant took him in a _ buggy and carried ! him about the vicinity , anil the fn-dt thing ho recalled .was an old log cabin which ho used to visit when ho was a boy. He also described the interior of the family barn before see ing it , and picked out some relatives from photographs. At last a cousin of his came homo and identified the testa ment which she had given to him be fore the war and the verses she had sent to him in a letter. Inside of the testament was also found a tin typo of him that must have been taken some fifteen years ago. An investigation was started to trace him back through his wanderings , if possible , and to complete the identifi cation. When I had acquainted myself with the wonderful story I returned to Gen eral Black and asked him what next. "Next , " ho said , "tho papers will bo sent to the adjutant general of the United States to enable him to decide upon the propriety of mustering Hugh Thompson out of the army. Ilia father long ago applied for a pension on ac count of Hugh's being killed in the service ; now the young man who has returned , or , at any rate , gone to Van Wort , has applied for a pension to Hugh's name and asserting , or his friends for him , IIugh'H identity. Ho cannot have a pension till ho is mus tered out. Thou wo will see. " What Constitutes n Family Medicine ? A preparation which is adapted to the relief and cure of ailments to which members of a household are most sub ject , and which is not only alleged to do this , but lias long and unfailingly proved its ability to do it , assuredly deserves the title of a reliable Family Medicine. Among time-honored preparations , which experience and the sanction of the medical profession indicate as de serving of popular regard and confi dence , is Hosteller's Stomach Bitters , a medicine adapted to the eradication of dyspepsia , constipation and biliousness , the three most frequently occurring ail ments that vex mankind. Derived from n botanic parentage , it is efficient as well as pure and wholesome. It relieves nervous disquietude and inactivity of the kidneys , and counteracts a tendency to rheumatism. For renewing flagging strength and imparling appetite it can bo implieilly relied upon. Fever and ague , rheumatism nnd debility .are remedied by it. A MODKItX JACK SlIEl'ARD. It In n Strong J'rUon , Indeed , That Can Hold John Hmihome. San Francisco Alta : Chief of Po lice Crowley yesterday received a telegram from Auburn , i'lacor county , informing him that John Sansomo , the noted stage robber , burglar and safe cracker , convicted in Auburn of a btago robbery , had boon sentenced for life testate state prison , By the incarceration of Lansomc the criminal community lotes a shining light , and a genius who has achieved a reputation throughout the state for rocklcbs daring and cleverness in mak ing liis obcapu from almost every prit-on in the country. Indeed , ho rivaled re- iwnlodly the daring deeds of Jack Khopard , and the state prison at San Quentin apparently had no chains btrong enough to hold him whenever ho took it into his head to leave that institution. Sun&omo's criminal career Commenced over tvvonty-livo jcars ago , at letibt it was then that his jlrst criminations were recorded on the calendars. In 1&03 Sun- Eomo was convicted of grand larceny and sentenced to servo one year in San Quenliji , He completed his term , and committed a burglary , and insiUo of Uiyea mouths aftur Uu rcleaso was. ar- rrted for cracking a pate , convicted nnd tenl back to San Quentin for three years. He made his escape in January , IfefcO. After a brief period of liberty ho was recaptured and returned to prison. Ho completed his term and was dis charged in 1803. Sansome was arrested several times during the next three years for burglary and other offenses , but managed ea"h time to escapecon - vicllon. However , in 1871 , the law got a grapevine lock on him and threw him in San Quentin again , this time to servo out eighteen years on a conviction of burglary. Sansomc enjoyed the prison comforts for a year , and then tiring of the prison diet , again escaped. Ho en joyed the swccls of liberty for twy years till in 1874 ho was recaptured. By the aid of eomo clever attorneys he was brought up before the supreme court on a writ of habeas corpus and dis charged. Ho stayed out ol trouble just about clghl months. In 187f ho was ar rested again for burglary , convicted nnd sent to his favorite quarters , San Cuon- tin , for llf teen years. Ho was appar ently contented with his surroundings. for ho made no altompl to escape unlit in 1880 , wht'n he was transferred from San Quentin to Folbom. One vcar of Folsnm was enough for him. for In 1881 he made his escape again and wandered torough Tuolumme , Placer nnd El Dorado counties , robbing stages right and loft. Ho was again recaptured in 1882 , served four years more and in 18SO was pardoned and discharged. Since then he has kept his hand in at stage robbing , burglary and any other little thing that turned up. A few mouths ago he tackled the Forest City stage. nnd bccnuo the driver would not slop Sansomo tired into the stage , wounding two of the passengers. A few days later ho stopped another stage and robbed the treasure-box of several hundred dollars. A general hunt wa madn for him and ho was caught on the train between this city and Sacramento. Ills life sentence was for his la-U exploit. If Sansomo is as successful in the future as he has been in the past in leaving prison when ever ho feels bo inclined , it probably will not bo long before he is again making it lively for Wells , Fargo & Co. "a stage drivers. This modern .lack Shupard is a native ot Missouri , about 50 years of age. His photograph , taken last year at Sacra mento , shows him to be a most determ ined looking man , dark complcxioned and apparently about > feet 11 } inches high. The most noticeable fca'uro about the man is the expression of his eyes , which have a most savage , deter mined look. They would bo noticed and singled out from among thousands as those of a reckless criminal. Hansomo weighs abont leO pounds , and is a mass of muscle. He is remark ably powerful , as quick as a cat and game to the backbone. Though utterly uneducated , ho is cunning to a degree and sharp as a needle. Sansomo had no particular method of escaping any way to get out was good enough for him. When ho escaped from Folsom lie tunneled through solid walls of masonary and ran his tunnel over " 00 feet with only the poorest apol ogies of tools to work with. The Correct Time. Tlicro very few men who do not i > rirto themselves on always having the correct time ; and wonderful and tlelieuto ineclmn- isins are devised to unable them to do s > o. But the more dcllcnto a chronometer is iiuule , the more subject it becomes to derangement , anil unless it bo kept always perfectly clean , it soon loses its usefulness. What wonder , then , that the huniiin machine so mueli more delicate ami intricate than nny work of Man should require to be kept thoroughly cleansed. The liver is the muin-itpriiip of this complex structure , nnd OH the impuri ties left in the blood by : i disordered liver , depend most of the ills that flesh is heir to. Even consumption ( which is lung-scrofulu ) , is traceable to the imperfect action of this organ. Kidney diseases , skin dicsases , side headache , heart disease , dropsy , and a long catalogue of grave maladies have their origin in a torpid , or sluggish liver. Dr. Picrcc's Golden Medical Discovery , by establishing a healthy , normal action of the liver , acts as a euro and preventive of these diseases. AS STEVE DO SEY SEES IT. He Thinks Greslmm AVouhl be Strong in the Kant. Chicago Herald : Ex-Senator Stephen W. Dorscy , of Arkansas , now living in New York , stood in the lobby of the Grand Pacific hotel yesterday a'ftcrnoon talking to Sam B. Raymond and Colonel Clark E. Cnrr , when a reporter asked his opinion of the relative strength of the republican presidential candidates. 'Greslmm is the strongest candidate in the cast , " said he , "and ho has very large general strength. Jt scorns quite clear , however , that ho cannot carry his own state into the convention. " "Yes , " put in Mr. Raymond , "Harri son has complete control there. A good many Indiana people have been hero lately. A half-do/.en of the state cen tral coinmitteemen wore hero last week. They arp bitter against Greslmm for not declining to allow his name to bo ubcd at all. " "But Harrison has no general strength , ' ' said Oorsoy. "This n oniin- ution is not a question of who can carry their own states , but who can carry Now Ygrk. " "Can't Dcpew do that ? " asked Mr. Carr. "I don't know. Donow is a very bright man , nnd popular in his state. Suppose ho did carry it. IIo would lose too many slates Wisconsin , for instance. The head of a great corpora tion , especially such a corporalion as the Now York Central , would not boa popular candidate. Sheridan could bo elected. Conkling and all his friends would support him. So far as I know Ihey would support any nominee. But there is a heap of dilTerenco bo- Uvccn going alone to the polls and voting ing and going there with all your neighbors. That was a splendid letter Conkling wrote the other day , wasn't it ? The country hasn't produced a big ger man lately. " "What's the matter with nominating hiinV" said Mr. Raymond. "Impossible , " said Mr. Carr. "I think Sherman will go into the convention with more votes than any other candidate , " resumed Mr. Dorsoy. "Ho will have behind him the biggest share of the southern vote. As to the chances of the republican party to win , that is a question betlur answered after Iho convention. " Mrs. Dorsoy is traveling with Mr. Dot-boy to Denver , whore the latter goes in the interests of his cattle ranch. Ho Clinnued ] lin Wall Street News : For the past seven or eight years , up to two or three weeks ago , a bank in a Pennsylvania town has been conducted by an old Ger man. The other day the traveler of a No\y York house called to transact some business and found that the bank had been turned into an olllco , and a strong smell of dead horse pervaded the vicin ity."What "What ! have you quit the banking business ? " was asked of the old man. "Yaw , dot vhos all wound oop. " "You seemed to be doing a good busi ness. " "Oh , yes. " "Get tired of it'r" "Vholl , it vims in dis vhny.
