THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON D. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1SS6, Blowfly ri8o above tho high grass and leisurely our quarters. ''Good morning, Captain," Baid as lie came up. "What was tlio trouble List uiulilf" Vl We wore attaclcod by tlic rebols, aud I deployed my men as skirmishers." ''Ah! Hint accounts for their being scattered around in the grass." I thon told him he was relieved, and that lie might return to camp aud report to his commanding officer. The situation of the Union troops now encamped at SpringGold was extromoly critical.

They numbered about 5,000 men, nearly 4,000 of whom were Kansas, Missouri nnd Iowa volunteers, about 200 mounted Missouri homo guards, nnd tho balance Ttogulars. A large portion of the volunteers wore raw, inexporionced recruits, many of 'whom had never smult powder. The Kansas l)oyu, however, in tho short space of three months thoy had been in the field, had givon KpocimoiiB of their lighting qualifications on two or three occasions, by which they Jiad gained the confidence of their command-JjngtoAlcor, Gen. Lyon. The enemy 23,000 strong from the most roliable information was boing massed at Creole, under the rebel Gen.

Price nnd the redoubtable Texan Hanger, Bon Mc-Oalloch. To risk battle undor the circumstances with our small force, without the hope of roiuforeements or supplies, was doomed oxtromoly hnntrdous. But tho bravo and patriotic Lyou was the man forthe occasion. He had cooly and calmly reviewed and counted the cost. He called a oounoil of his oflicors, stated to them tho great disparity of the contending forces nnd tho probabilities of success, cither in at- tacktng or buing attacked.

He was in favor of ATTACKING THE ENEMY in his stronghold, taking him by surprise, mid to crippling nnd demoralizing him that ivo niifdit be able to retire witb safety. Tho question of attacking the enemy or in-gloriousny rotrraling or abandoning Springfield wus seriously debuted by tho council. A majority of the ollieors were in favor of retreat, 'but 'tho warm stand taken by Cols. Doitzlor nnd Mitchell aud Gen. Sweoney turned tho tido in favor of mooting tho enemy at all hazards.

Gen. Lyou was woll pleased with tho deoisiou of the council, as it coincided with bis own views. If wc had rotrcated, tho moral advantage to tho ouomy would have been groutor than tho malarial. Tho "Union causo would Iihvc boon dostroyod in a largo portion of tho Stato. The west and southwest would have boon in tho hands of tho foe, and the central portion of tho Stato loft open.

Gun. Lvon having matured his plans, issuod ordors on Friday, Aug. 9, to bo in readiness to iniuoh that evouing. The command was arranged to move in two columns, tho main column undor Col. Sigul, who was to attack the enemy's right.

That ovouing at 5 o'clock we marched from Springfield withfeoliugsmllicult to aud which nono can realizo but thotjo who havo boon upon tho eve of a buttlo whoro the -chances wore heavily against thorn. Beforo the wauo of another day how many of those now moving forward in all tho strength nnd pride of manhood would havo passed from earth or lie mangled and blooding on tho cold "baltlefiold. Tho movements of tho Union jforcu were concealed by the approaching night. martial music was hoard. It was necessary tliat our march should be as silont as tho grave, in ordor that tho enemy should not bo warned.

'Our command took only tho hospital and rfimiminilion wagons. The train was loft behind with a guard of 200 Missouri homo guards aud ItWopioito of artillory. Wo arrived in sight of jtlio euumy's camptircs about 1 o'clock in tho horning. Horo a halt was ordered, and wo lay our arms and slupl until morning. We Wore 'thon aroused without tho BOUND OF DKUM OR BUGLE, snfl tjulotly resumed our forward movomont in tho same manuor as the day before, oxcopt that skirmishors wore advanced, supported by a battery.

Our course was now changed to tho Eoutboost, in ordor to strike tho upper end of 11)0 camp. Our pathway was very trough nnd broken, cowrod with loose and do-tached KrLiou6of rook, which mado tho marching vory laborious. As we entered tho bond of tho valley wo tcamo immediately in siht of tho enemy's 'camp. Our advance had Iikou so cautious and stealthy that the first intimation tho onemy Lad of our proximity was tho attack on his veamp by our skirmishersand a few shells ifroin TotU'ii's battory. They wore taken cora- pletoly by surprise, uud their caiup was thrown auto utter contusion.

Those throe regiments received tho ifirst shoi'k of the battle, and gallantly stood iQioir ground undor a modi galling fire, in which tho lt Krh. ufl'ored severely.

Tho loft of the line, occupied by the 1st Iowa, was 'forced back by overwhelming numbers, and filially hroke in dinorrtor aud did not rally iHgaiu during tho battle. Tho 2d Kan. with Steele's lmualion of Bogular infantry, aud Duhohs's battory, was hold in rosorvo. jUTlio ouomy was uow pressing tho 1st on uVoxtrmu right, very heavily, with theovi- dont intention of turning that Jlank. At this moment tho 2d Kau.

Promptly obeying the order, we itsoeuttod the lull by a llu.uk movomont in column of fours, loft in front, aud just as our left had reached tho brow of tho hill Gon.

The enemy now, having formed new combinations, advanced in heavy columns until they jrvuclied tho foot of the ridge where wo wore posted, and at once commenced along our on-ftfro line the bloodiest engagement of tho day. DD was a continuous roar of cannon and mus-JfOtry, perfect glorm of lead and iron. A avsoraU' attempt was made by tho enemy to turn our right, whoro wo wore posted, iu which thoy wore uusuucossful.

Stur-gis, who had assumed command, wore retiring from tho field, nnd tho 2d Kan. was loftalono and unsupported to resist tho attack of Bon.

McCulloch with three fresh regiments. Blair, who had proved himself a bravo soldier and won tho confidence of his men, assumed command of our regiment, and seeing a largo body of rebels advaucing on our loft front, ordered us to lio down, nnd when thoy had arrived within about yards of our lino, ho said, "Now, boys, give 'cm and wo came as near as wo could to it, pouring into thom a galling and plunging fire. At this timo an ordor camo from Maj. Sturgis to fall back on tho main body. Col.

Blair paid no attention to tho ordor at that timo. With poworful force ou our front, it would havo been tho destruction of our littlo regiment. To maintain our position was our only salvation; to havo left it would have been annihilation. Wo continued to fight until wo silenced tho onomy's firo aud compelled him to fall back so badly cut up that ho could not rcsumo the fight. Our ammunition was nearly exhausted, aud Col.

Blair, fooling that wo could now rotiro in safety, gave tho ordor: "Attention, 2d About face Slow timo March 1" Wo then crowed tho ravino to tho hill on tho opposite sido.

"TIPS." The Trnctlcc of Ghlng Gratuities to Servants In I'nglnnd.

Philadelphia JVmj. I havo convorsed with dozens of small railway officials and find their earnings vary from as low as 14 shillings ($3.00) per week in country towns to 1 ($5) per week iu important places. "How do you livo on such a salary?" I said to a Great Eastorn Compauy porter. Woll, it is very hard, sir; hut wo pick up a littlo such as gentlemen liko yoursolf feel liko giving us." "How much does that average a weok?" "It is vory uncertain. You see, as a nilo, wo don't got silver unless it bo threepenny hits.

Wo haven't much Amorican travel ou this lino, and twopence or threepence in coppors is looked upou as a good enough tip by most passengers, and of lato years only a fow givo that. And right glad wo aro to get oven that, sir." I havo often noticed when traveling with Americans that they dislike to offer respectablo-looking men, as most of these porters arc, coppors," and goncrally givo them sixponco or even a shilling, whereas the porters would ho grateful enough for a few spare pennies. Tho guards, of whom there aro something liko 10,000 iu England, aro only paid from to $7 a week. These officials take thoplacoof our conductors, and their hearts, or rather their hands, aro as opon to melting charity or I should say tips as ho of tho dark green corduroy suit and silvor buttons who handles tho luggago for threepence. Tho guard's size is about a shilling to his own countrymen and half a crowu (G2i cents) to Amoricans.

For this sum ho will not infrequently give you a compartment from Livorpool to London all to yoursolf or secure your parly from intrusion. Ho will come to the window, radiant with smiles, and ask if "All is right, sir? Shall I change your hot wator tin, sir?" or, in tho most saccharine voice, toll yon "tho train will remain horo 10 minutes, sir, if you'd like to got out aud strcth your legs, 6ir." The luckless passengers who fee not tho guard may bo packed iu liko sardines in a box, but tho magic word "ongagod" will secure tho man who has "fixed the guard" a compartment to himself, especially at night. The pittauco that these men work for is enough to obliterate thoir in-dopoudonce and compel thom to accept tho smallest bribes iu return for porsonal favoritism. At tho Conntjr J'alr. EtleWnc IicU.)

It would bo well if every man could himself with somo simple belief or philosophy in panicky times. GEN. J. ROBINSON, Candidate of Hie Ohio Republicans for Secretary of Siate.

Ohio furnished to the Union army many ablo and gallant soldiers, but none more faithful and deserving than Gen. James S. Itohinrou. Ho was born Oct. 11, 16J7, in Bichland County.

His boyhood was passed much after tho manner of tho other farm boys of those times, in hard work tho year round, except for a few Aveoks' attendance at tho district school during the Winters. At tho age of 1G ho started out into tho world "to mako his fortune." lie tramped to Mansfield, and applied at tho Bichland Bugle ollico for an apprenticeship. He was given tho privilego of entering the office, and there ho served, learning tho trade of a printer, until December, IS 14. when ho began to work on the Mansfield Jcffcrsoniun, now tho Herald, aud there ho worked until June, 18-10. Then ho started off on foot to Tiffin, where, iu tho office of tho Seuca Whip, he worked tho rest of that year.

Thcnco ho went to Kenton and started tho Kenton fiepnlUcan, issuing tho first number Jan. 1, 1847. This paper, iu tho face of great obstacles, iu the midst of a poor people, and a thin and scattered pomilation, ho mado a success, working day and night, tilling all positions, from "devil" to editor, and manfully persevering against manifold discouragements. Ho was a stanch Whig, a tcrso and vigorous writer, and while his pajer began to bo known, ho himself became a local power in politics. Ho was elected Clerk of tho Geu-cral Assembly in tho session of 165G-7, and was Secretary of tho first Bepuhlican Convention held iu tho Stato, of which Salmon P.

Chase was President. Ho prospered iu busi-, noss, became an active member of tho Episcopal Church, and was married to Helen M. Spauld-ing iu 1816, who lived but four years. In 1H.S he married Hester A. Carlin, daughter of Hon.

Parleo Carlin, of Findlay. He has three children living. Whon the war broke out, without a moment's hesitation ho enlisted as a private soidier iu Co. -lth Ohio, ou April 17, 1S61. The next day ho was elected First Lieutenant, aud a day or two later Captain.

Ho served in the Itich Mountain campaign, nad iu Octolnjr was appointed Major of tho82d Ohio, aud moved with tho regiment into West Virginia iu February, lbG2. Iu April ho was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel. Under Milroy tho regiment participated in numerous engagements iu West Virginia, down to tho battle of Cross Keys, Juuo 8. It is needless hero to follow iu detail tho glorious career of Kobinson and his famous regiment. The record of that organization is unexcelled for en durance, for discipline, for gallantry, for daring, for marching and for fighting, and always at their head was the fear-loss leader they loved aud followed from tho timo when tho Colonel was shot dead in the fight near Gainesville on Aug.

22. Jn tho battle of Chancellorsvillo tho regiment suffered severely, coming out with hut 131 men. In Juno, Col. Kobinson, prostrated by severe sickness, had bceu given a furlough of 30 days, and went to New Haven to rest and recuperate. When ho heard that tho army was again iu motion he hurried back, although his furlough was unexpired, and rejoined his regi ment in time to lead it at Gettysburg.

So deadly was the fight iu which tho b2d participated" that in 40 minutes 10 of its officers wero killed and wounded, and more than two-thirds of its men wero stretched upou the plain. Col. BohiiiEon was shot through the lungs. He lay for two days and nights between tho opposing linos beforo tho great battle drifted off to tho south iu fugitives aud pursuers, aud aid could be given the wounded. Such a wound would have sent most nieti to tho retired list, but Oil.

Kobinson soou rejoined his regiment, and again hreastod the storm of battle. Iu all tho great battles of tho Georgia campaign, from Wauhatchio Hights and Missionary Kidgo down to the sea, Gen. Kobinson was a conspicuous and brilliant figure. His brigade was always in tho front, always at the poitit of honor aud danger. While at Savannah Col.

Kobinson received long-delayed justico by being promoted to Brigadier-General, and later was brevettcd Major-Gcuoral for gallant and meritorious services. Gen. Kobinson led his brigado through tho Carolina campaign and on to Washington, where ho rodo at its head iu tho grand review. Gen. Kobinson after retiring to private lifo ongaged extensively in business looking to tho development and huildiiigupof hisown County and community, and attending to his own affairs, almost entirely neglected for over four years.

Ho was President of a projected railroad and Director iu another, tho Chicago Atlantic, which hasBinco been built from Marion to Chicago. January 23. IbSO, ho was appointed Commissioner of Railroads aud Telegraphs by Gov. Charles Foster, an office he filled with his usual ability and efficiency, making tho fullest and best compilation and report ever mado up to that time from that department This position he resigned to represent his district in the 47th Congress, a position to which ho was called by a majority of 1,139. Gen.

Kobinson was distinguished in Congress by tho samo qualities that had made him so successful and eminent in other fields, aud ho at once took a commanding position. No member was more earnest in study, more devoted to work, more faithful to constituents, country and party than ho. His name became prominently connected with sotno of the most important measures before Congress, aud his en tire record was such as to scud him buck triumphantly for a second term, in an election which was iu most cases iu Ohio disastrous to Republicans. Gen. Kobinson gavb a great deal of attention, also, to the bill relieving from tho charge of desertion all soldiers who left thoir commands without permission after tho close of tho war, and also aided ill securing tho passago of a bill giving full pay of their rank to men and officers who wero promoted and assigned to duty, though not mustered iu their new rank.

Ho also introduced aud pushed, with nil cnergj', a bill to pensiou the survivors of tho rebel prison pens, which hill received tho ap-jiroval of tho Grand Army Posts throughout the entire country. In ouo of his speeches ho said: "Thoj' have given pensions to tho wounded, to tho hick, and to tho widows aud orphans; hut to those who endured worse than wounds, worso than sickness, worso often than death itself, they havo givon nothing." While ho was serving his second term tho Republican party of Ohio iu convention assembled at Cleveland, April 23 and 21, nominated him for tho oilice of Secretary of Stato. an honor ho did not seek, and only accepted through the seiiso of loyalty and duty to tho party that has always controlled him in his parly relations. He was elected and has served for nearly two j'cars with the utmost efficiency aud fidelity. Ho was unanimously nominated at the recent Republican Stato Convention.

Ilxiirrienrra of an AnibltiHUH Tcian. Alcr.

Siwt. in frtirtlter's Mogmine. The first timo I cvvr attempted to play cowboy was when I w.t.-ttviacre hoy. a bright, intelligent child, in a town on the frontier of Texas. 1 etuW-zU'd 0 feet of rope from tho clothesline aud converted it into a liuo.

1 thon took a position on thocoruer of the street aud waited for a victim. An aged Mexican camo jogging along on a pacing pony. and I threwjny ml had seen the cowboys dojt. I was nearly delirious with joy atcatchiii his horse by tho hind foot, I was almost as as a man whose stylo-graphic jten works for tho first timo in two years. As I had tied tho end of the rope to my wrist, there was no chanco for him to escape.

1 had htm by tho back of the neck, so to speak. Tho next thing that attracted my attention was a jerk at my arm that can only bo compared to the shako of a candidate's hand during a closely contested local election, after which I trotted mechanically behind tho old Mexican. I had reulb no curiosity to know whore ho was but, somehow or other, wo went iu tho samo direction. It was another case of Mary and her little lamb. When tho old Mexican traveled fast, I humored his whim and struck a trot.

Although wo had never" been formally introduced, wo were very much attached to each other, more so, in fact, than if wo had known each other lor years. I was iii hopes that he might stop beforo my arm came uuglued, but lie kept right on, just as if it was an every-day occurrence. At last ho looked around and perceived, with a cynical smile, that he had 'caught a boy. He slowly dismounted, aud took tho rope off his horse's hind leg. Then he began to haul mo in.

I strolled toward him slowly and reluctantly. 1 did not, like a comet, ruh to meet him at tho rate of a million miles a day, for there was an expression in the old Aztec's collection of features that told mo the interview would not bo mutually satisfactory. Nevertheless, as I could not dbeng.ige the rope, I felt myself irresistibly drawn toward him. When ho had brought mo within reach, ho swung tho othor end of tho rope around his head, aud, as heat generates motion, I began to revolve around him liko a planet around tho sun, ho keeping up tho centrifugal force and the heat with the end of tho ropo, in which there was a largo knot. I remember that fact with ghastly distinctness My yells could bo heard for blocks, and thoy caused a tax-collector, whoso othco was near ty, to fched real tears.

After loth of us had taken more exercise than was really good for us, tho old Mexican released me. and 1 llew off into spaco at a tangent. Ho did not give me back my rope cither, and iu tho excitement I forgot to ask him for it, but I did not miss it. Tho folks at homo did miss it, however, so I got some more rope got it in the same place, too when the discovery was mado that I was responsible for the nhortatio in tho clothesline. After that I religiously abstaiucd from over-indiilgi'uco with tho for some time.

I looked back upon my pist career with horror. 1 reformedtaud made a vow to lead a bcttorand a purer life. About a year aftorwards tho Mayor of tho town issued a proclamation offering 25 cents for every unlicensed dogdclivoredat the pound. Hero was a chanco for a live, energetic boy who had had experience with a lasso to turn an honest quarter. Tho recollections of my former indiscretion had faded out with tho murks of tho roKi.

I got andthcr dasoo aud watched for a suitable dog. i Tho first dog I saw wassevoral sizes too largo to suit mo; besides. I was not sure that ho would follow mo cheerfully to tho pound, and that was tho kind I preferred. However, I threw the rope, and' with my usual good luck it caught him around the neck, aud I began to tow him gently in the directiou of tho pound, as gently as possilild; for didn't want him to exasperate mo. At first he did not understand what 1 wanted, and ho hold back, liko a Republican office holder whoso resignation has been requested by tho President, until I had nearly pulled off his head, when he suddenly camo toward mo, whorehpon 1 abruptly sat down on the top of my brad.

Rut that was a splendid dog to load. Tho only fault I could find with him was, that in pxssing mo hoinad-vcrtantlj' carried off6omo of my clothes in his mouth. He must have got a taste of mo in his mouth. I felt that somo of me wa3 missing, and 1 suspected tho dog. He went on past mo to the end of tho rone, and bogan to tow mo down tho street.

This was, not down iu tho program, so, thinking to check him up a little, I pulled the rojie. I never saw such an easy dog to lead. Ho turned right around and camo hack at me with his mouth open as wido as a barn door, as if ho wanted tho rest of my clothes and what there was left of tho hoy. Ho I was really a very easy dog to lead but as I had not lieu iuo onu oi mo ropo to my wrists mis time, ho did not succoed in overtaking me. The affectionate brute would have followed mo up tho tree if he could havo borrowed a step-ladder.

Finally, ho went off with my'iasso and the 25 ccul3 1 didu't get for loading him to tho pound. Right then and there, sitting on the limb of that tree, I registored somo more solemn vow3 never to nlav cowboy again. 1 never will toy with another ropo tho Sheriff or tho vigilance committee insist upon it.

A Philadelphia woman has taken for hor second husband a man without legs. Sho had au oyo to business. Her first husband, sho says, used to kick against paying her millinery bills. As a kicker, her second spouso will bo a brilliant failure. A young lady graduate donned her falso hair, penciled her eyebrows, rouged her cheeks, aud then stood up at the Commencement and read a long essay entitled "Tho Beauty aud Strength of Truth." A Philadelphia dentist who, in oxtracting a woman's tooth, pulled out large portion of her jawbone, is being sued by her for $10,000 damages.

It is understood that tho woman's husband has privately informed tho dentist that if he is mulcted iu tho damages claimed he will send him his check for tho amount.

PLAYINtG Trahe Wei! Dwerred. A writer in tho Atlanta Cumlilntion pays tho following tribute to tho late Gen. Stannard, of Vermont, who died recently in Washington: "Almost everylwdy who ha3 been familiar with tho Capitol at any time during tho last six years mu-st havo noticed an elderly man with one arm, who was doorkeeper to ouo of tho hidied' galleries of the House of Representatives. lh was notable for his courtesy aud his infallible punctuality at lm humble post of duty. Few people iu Washington knew anything about him.

except that lie a faithful doorkeeper at $100 per month. Those who saw his empty sleeve naturally supposed that ho had lost an arm on one side or the othor of the civil war. Ho was a quiet, dignified old gentleman, who camo from his homo to the Capitol and returned to his home again when his work was done. "Onedayhift Juno ho did not appear. A pale woman camo to say that he was very sick aud could not be at the door for a day or two.

He was ucver thoro again. Iu a week ho wa3 dead from pneumonia. Then the reporters began to write long sketches of tho dead doorkeeper. It turned out that ho had a history. His uame was George J.

Stannard. IIo volunteered in Vermont as soon as war was declared. Promotion camo to him rapidly, and at last ho roso to the rank of Major-Gcneral. There never was a braver soldier. He was shot 10 times, and had his right arm taken offat thoshoulder by a shell.

At Gettysburg and Cold Harbor ho gr.atly distinguished himself. In the army ho was universally loved and honored. Not ono of his associates at the Capitol ever heard him speak of his services, brilliant as they were. Ho accepted his lot in life with cheerful resignation, and fought adversity to tho last as bravely as ho ever faced A hostile army. He was a faithful, modest man, who never dreamed that he was a hero.

Ho loft nothing but ono month's salary." Pretty fllrls or Dublin. Dublin Letter in Cleveland Isader. Ireland is noted for its beautiful women, and the girls of Dublin aro a3 pretty thoso of any city in the world. They have, a3 a rule, fair, rosy complexions and good forms, and they know how to dress the latter. I attended a regatta at Dalkoy, the great yachting place near Dublin, aud saw some several thousands of tho better class of girls of Ireland.

Tho poorer classes were shut out by the higher pricc3 of tho iiiclo.suro allotted to us, and the crowd wa3 a kid-gloved one. The girls seemed to bo remarkably healthy and in high spirits, and they showed, as I could judgo from tho witty remarks I heard en jmxmnt. all tho lovo of humor for which old Ireland is famou3. Tho Irish brogue coming out of tho pearly teeth of a rosy-checked, bright-eyed Irish girl sounds very sweet indeed, aud woro I a millionaire American with one or two American girl babies, I would bring them to Ireland to raiso them for tho sake of their complexions. Tho beauties aro not, however, confined to the upper classes.

I saw pretty girls everywhere, and many a sweet faco there i3 among the white-capped servant girls of tho hotels, aud oven among tho workers iu tho fields or in tho cotters' hut3. 91,000 Ante. Minneapolis Tribune. I heard a story the other day about the national gamo of poker which rather discounts tho tough poker yarns which from time to timo appear in tho pipers of tho West. A number of gentlemen were sitting on the chairs in front of the Ebbitt House when the subject of poker camo up.

Stories of several games wero told ami laughed over, when a gentleman who had not said a great deal up to that timo remarked "Well, boys, your stories of big games are good enough, but I sat in a gamo ono timo where tho pot was worth playing for. It was in 1SG5, soon after Lye's surrender. There wero six or seven of us at Atlanta, and a game of poker was proposed. ante was fixed at $1,000 and tho limit at $5,000,000, and tho play was lively, I tell yon. We played from 10 in tho morning, uutil after midnight, and a pot was seldom open with less than $500,000 in it.

On ono hand the betting got quite lively, and when a straight tlush finally beat winner raked in nearly $20,000,000." The gentlemen sitting around puffed their cigars, and admiration for the boss liar of the season was plainly visible on their countenances. He continued: "You don't seem to believe that, but it is Gospel truth, every word of it." Again silenco reigned for a moment or two, when ono of them inquired: "What kind of money wero you playing for?" "Well," he answered, "that was tho trouble. It waa, as I said, right after the war. Confederate scrip was plentiful, and we used Confcderato bonds to light our cigars with. The boodle in that pot was all in Confederate notes nnd bonds, aud tho winner didn't think it worth while to carry it away with him." Lincoln's Substitute in the Field.

Washington Critic President Lincoln had a substitute in tho war," said Mr. Noble D. Lanier, while talking over old times in Washington, "and ho was credited to the Third ward of this city. It was the Whiter of Ib6t-'G5 that Gen. Fry, then Provost Marshal bore, sent for mo and told mo that the President wanted a substitute to go to the war for him.

At that timo I was connected with the Third Ward Draft Club, tho principal object of which was to secure substitutes for members who might bo drafted. Thoro lived in our ward a son of a clergyman who bore the usual reputation given to minis-tors' sous, and ho was naturally 'ano'cr do This follow desired to represent tho President, and a check from tho Whito House for $a00, payable at Kiggs' Bank, was tho consideration. Nothing was ever heard of tho young man afterward, but it was generally believed that ho was killed during tho Wilderness campaign. Our draft club gave a concert for the benefit of their fund at Ford's Opera House, ou Tenth street, tho evening that tho President received his exemption paper, which I remember was inclosed in a gilt frame and exhibited from tho stage during the performance. Although I had served three mouths iu tho army aud I was bouorably discharged, I was drafted, and had to look out for a substitute, too.

Ho was a raw-boned, gigantic specimen of an Irishman, aud 1 kept track of him for somo timo after he joined tho army. One day attcr the war closed I thought I would look up my man's record, and upou inquiring at the War Department concerning him I found tho word de-sorted marked opposito his name." Halls That Hit In Ihittlo. Tho question has often been raised, What proportion of balls exchanged by hostile armies will hit their mark aud kill? Dithcult 113 it is to solve it exactly, some approximate result may be arrived at from tho number of balls estimated at which wero fired by tho Germans in the war of 1870-71. The French Army lost, in dead and wounded, about men. According to this, only 1 ball out 1-13 tired hit its man, aud assuming that ou an averago only 1 man out of 7 hit was actually killed, it would seem that only 1 ritlo ball iu proved fatal.

If it is further considered that tho number of men wounded and killed by tho guns of the artillery are included in tho abovo estimate, it may safely bo said that uot over 1 ritlo ball in 1,000 fired proves to bo fatal.
