A Challenge. To the Editor Xalirntil Tribune: WASHINGTON, I), c., June 12, 18S2. A spirit of generous einulatlou hAs characterize the soldier? of the Union army; and as I am compiling the histo- toryof my regiment, the Twenty- fonrth Kentneky Volunteer Infantry, I find that it traveled rlnrlng the war, under orders, by road, rail and boat, twenty-five thousand, three hundred and sixty-two miles. I challenge any regiment in the United states service during the late war to show an equal record. JOHN A.JOYCK* Late Adjutant. Some time since we heard of a sol­ dier from Kansas applying for a po­ sition in one of the departments, and we Also heard that he was an Ander­ sonville prisoner at one time. This probably explains why he was not suc­ cessful. It requires nowadays mnch more influence to secure a position lor a,p,0ldler tlism ever before. Kansas has at least 50,000 soldiers and sailors, many of whom were disabled during the war, yet the State is meagerly rep- resented in the Departments with them. We are looking up this matter, and inttMid to show the Kansas ^boys'* how the land lays in the capltol--glv- somc facts and flgurcs. and especially how many soldiers and how many sol­ diers and sailors there are from the State.-- Lnion Veteran, the will the his delight at the carnage below. And that the starrr banner he would watch with his eagle eye, and whenever the regiment was repulsed would fly back to his perch, and with drooping head and t&il show his htimilllation at the defeat. Another yarn was this; "Old Abe" was in danger of being captured by the rebels, on a hard-fought field, when the Colonel rallied his men by the cry that the colors wtre In danger --meaning the eagle, which was called the colors of the regiment--and the men fell into line, and with bayonets Frcm'ti _ " " Bepmktiqm, The seasnh of ne?sed the regular •T" ***- travel .o thi. popular ,V ** The cold, rainy, back*?!"01" np'"° rl* aflected the crop of mm^*1r"*011 '***, just as it lias the crop of is"'"?*' *r* »• .. **i»d pota- * ther. , .

A. H.Cillon, the man who carried "Old Abc,"th«* war eagle of Wisconsin, through many a battle, died at his home at Syracuse Springs, Kan., on thf 2nd Inst. He was badly wounded dur­ ing the War, and uulike the bird of freedom which he carried, did not have a pension. The writer hereof remem­ bers when this eagle w:t9 brought down froniithe pineries, above La Crosse, Wis., by some of the recults from the woods, and paraded around tire streets by the boys. k-OJd Abe" had not then received Ills name, and was known as the "Eight's Eagle." It was kept in camp there for some time until the boys were ordered to the front when it was taken with them and received i;s baptism of fire which made it fa­ mous, It Is not generally known now --but was, some years ago. that the col­ umns of the La Croeae Democrat were the first to herald the actions of tills bird. The La Crosse Democrat had a correspondent in the,Eighth Wisconsin who never failed to mention this proud bird of freedom, and it was late during the war when he was named "Old Abe." The editor-in-chief of this paper wrote several humorous articles on the eagle and they were extensively copied throughout, the United States. "Old Abe" was a pensioner on the State of Wisconsin for several years, and was an object of great interest to tlie visit­ ors at the State capital, where he was kept with a soldier guard. He was taken to the Centennial where his ex­ ploits were told to gaping multitudes, and at every repetition was exaggera­ ted till some of the yarns bordered on the ridiculous. 0"e cf these yarns WHS like this: When th<yYet>iment was in the thickest of the nght, and in close <ju:irters with the robe) ^Inos, "Old Abe" womd tly fr«<m his pert;h and «o«»r above the heads of the eonibn'onta, j j n . l w i t h 1 ' H M r t ! ! v c p r » « p « > ! , p a _ ] 5 , t h e h - i ' t l f . T ' i U f t ' closed around him, dealing death right and left in their efforts to carry ofl iu triumph the pet of the regiment, which was linally successful, and which charge astonished the rebs, who did not un­ derstand what in thunder was the cause for this sudden rallying of men they supposed tliey had whipped.--Ortat West. , - , : „ Syawnor;. BKAN BKD8 FOR THK LIARIM. A French doctor has Invented a" new bed for babies which holds them sate in its custody, and prevsnts them from ever giving any trouble at night to their attendants. This gentleman has subjected his system to the most try­ ing of all tests, for lie has applied it to al) his own children, and considers that tke life of one of tliem Is entirely ow­ ing to its use. The Idea Is too All the greater part of the cradle with bran, and Immerse the legs and part of the body of the child In this nest, covering them over in the usual way, but fasten­ ing down the counterpane t'ght, so as to keep him . firm in his place. Why this change of tactics should have the effect of taking awav from the infant his usual de­ sire to howl during a part of every night is a question which we will leave nurses to explain for themselves after they have tried the system. In the meantime, until that trial .has been it is only civil to believe the testimo­ ny of Drs. Bourgeois and Vigoureux, who in two French papers of some au> thority declare that such Is the invaria­ ble result. This is not, however, the only advantage to be expected from the system. The bran is supposed to have a warming and stimulating Influ­ ence superior to any sort of cotton or cloth, and to allow children of the more sickly kind to develop more quickly and to be sooner able to use their limbs. The inventor of the system de­ clares that they delight in their bran beds, and always "quit them with re-J obliged to land on the shores of Plsta- years to one of a different klntf,-- don Globe. A GALLANT KhMCVR. A few years ago, as Col. JRIler. of Virginia, who had Ueefi appointed United States consul at Zanzibar, in East Africa, was crossing the Atlantic on his way to his post, he made the acquaintance en board the steamer, of an Englishman, Col. Preston, and his sou, a little curly headed boy of six summers, whose winning ways and hap­ py disposition made him the pet of all the passengers. One day the littie fel­ low fell overheard* when Col, Riley, who was a first rate swimmer, sprang into the sea, and managed to seize the child, whom he.held up till a boat was lowered, and both were rescued and brought back to the ship. Col. Pres­ ton, who, it may be imagined, was deeply moved, assured the heroic res­ cuer that, he should never forget his brave deed. The episode had proba­ bly almost passed out of Co). Riley's mind, when it was recalled by the facts of Col. Preston's death and a legacy .of $30,000, which^Kad been left to liiin by the cratefuf father for 6aying his little boy's life. ••IT WAS THK %!AT." A good story is told Orange Co. boy who drives a milk route In New York citv. It seems tkat he had one wealthy customer that lie served early by lifting a barred bisemeut window and pouring the milk ^nto a pail with a long spoilt. One moruing when he was late, in pushing the pail back to close the window he upset it, the pail falling into the room, and the milk spilling all over the floor. He was in trouble. He had no time to call the girl and wait tor her to ap­ pear. He started ou his route, expect­ ing to lose that customer surely. But while serving his next customer he saw a cat in the area way. An inspiration seized the milkman. The milkman seized the cat. He thrust her between the bars into the room where the spilled milk lay, and drove on. Later in the day lie returned to the house, as requested to do by a note in the pail In the morning asking him to "leave tickets." The servant girl same run­ ning out, saying, "O, Johuny, we must have four quarts more of milk. A nas­ ty cat trot into the' house and spilled all the milk you left. Just look at this carpet! The mistress was awfully mad. I thought I should lose niy place." The milkman looked his blankest amazement, and sympathiz­ ing!)' counted out his tickets and meas­ ured out the milk, saying, "Accidents would happen sanieiiines." I'lie custo­ mer was saved.
