The animal was presented to Gen Kimball by citizens of Fitchburg on his election to the Colonelcy of the 53d Mass., in 1862. Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, who entered the service during the war of the rebellion an Colonel of the 4th Iowa, and became a Major-General commanding tbe Sixteenth Corps has been elected President of the Union Pacific Railroad in place of Mr. Elisha Atkins, of Boston. Tbe battlefield of Chickamauga is to be preserved and made a place of public interest similar to that of Gettysburg. The lines of corps, divisions and brigades have already been established. Steps are now being taken to organize an ex­ cursion party with Atlanta as an ob­ jective point. The party will be com­ posed of ex-Union veterans and their friends, and it will be an opportunity for those who desire to again visit the old battlefields of Chickamauga, Chatta­ nooga, and Missionary Fidge. The ex­ cursion will take place in the early fall. • Comrade John L. Routt, now Governor of Colorado, for the third time entered the volunteer service of the United States in 1862, as Captain of Co.

Feb. 11.--The Acting Secretary of the Treasury to-day issued warrants for the payment of $1,000,000 on account of pensions, aggregating 130,000,000 due during the quarter end­ ing March 4. The latter amount repre­ sents the available cash balance of tbe Treasury, so that the only Treasury sur­ plus that will exist after these payments shall have been met will be the excess of receipts over other expenditures during that period, now estimated at less than $10,000,000. A Pretty Story efUaitla. Gen. O. O. Howard communicates anew anecdote of Abraham Lincoln. When the Merrimac retired from the contest with Lieut. Worden's homely little craft in Hampton Roads, the last shell fired by the Confederate vessel exploded exactly in the eye-hole of the pilot-house where Lieut. Worden was at that moment look­ ing out. His eyes were severely injured, his face filled with powder and there was ale^mlconcussion of the brain. TM^^^^Hfcbis brave officer recovered his consciousness his " Have we saved the Minnesota ?' told she was safe, he satisfied." He was taken at once to Washington, and an incident connected with him there of Abraham Lincoln. A Cabinet in progress when it was told the President that the wounded commander of the Monitor was in the caty. He in­ stantly arose and took his hat, saying: to his room. Worden was on the sofa, his eyes bandaged, his face swollen and bloody. The President was announced and took his hand in silence. " Mr. President," said the wounded man, "you do me great honor by this visit." '"Sir," replied Mr. Lincoln, while the tears ran down his cheeks, " I am the one who is honored in this iston Journal. i* it Served H*r Bight. CINCINNATI, Ohio, Feb. ll.-In the United States Court to-day a singular was disposed of. Mrs. Nancy Smith, of Carter County, Kentucky, obtained a pension as the widow of Wiley Smith, a soldier who died in 1873. She has re- ceived $2,200 and had $1,500 of this in an Ironton, Ohio, Recen tly it came to the ears of the go ment officials that she had been divorced from her husband in 1868, and suit was brought to recover the money, and the enjoined from paying the deposit until the suit was decided. Mrs. Smith denied that she had ever applied for a divorce, and testified that she was living with her husband at the time of his death. The court records and the testimony of her own daughter convinced the jury that she was wrong, euid a verdict was rendered for the government. The Sons of Veterans seem to attract almost as much attention as the old grizzly "vets," who comprises the mem* bership of the Grand Army. Saturday evening, Jan. 81, the Northern Illinois Officers' Association, Son of Veterans, held its first annual meeting in parlor 4 of the Grand Pacific Hotel. The camps represented at the meeting were Nos. 1, 6, 8, 51, 60, 87,100,138,166,198, 200, 205, 216, 251, 254,and 315, represent­ ing a membership of nearly one thous­ and.

Humes, F. A. Maager. Colonel George B. Stodden, Commanding the Illinois Division; John D. Hall, Lieutenant Colonel Illinois Division; Henry Abels, Adjutant Illinois Division, and H. S Fuller, Colonel Commanding Wisconsin Division, were present as visiton. A Southern Federal. Comrade Dan Knight wishes to hear from Southern Federals, and as I belong to that elass, I thought perhaps it would be interesting to the boys to know how I got to the Federal army. I left home in North Carolina July 21,1868, at the age of 18, and August 10, following, I reach­ ed camp Nelson, Kentucky. W© lay in the woods during the day, and traveled at night until we crossed the Cumberland mountains. We were very much fatigued when we got to camp, as well as hungry. On August 11,1863,1 was mustered into service as a private, and on the next day took up the march with Burnside's army for East Tennessee, I was with the com­ mand until we were discharged June 30, 1865. Was with Burnside in Tennessee, Sherman in Georgia till after the capture of Atlanta; at Columbia, Franklin and Nashville, Tenn., against Hood, and afterwards rejoined Sherman's army at Goldsboro, N.

The Dead Alive- "Did yon ever see a dead man walking about?" queried a Griswold street in­ surance agent of a friend the other day. "Of course not." "Well, there is a case of it. See that man on the corner?" "Yes, but he's legally dead. Let me tell you about him. We served in the same Ohio regiment in the war. At the battle of Groveton, which took place a day or two before second Bull Run, he was detailed as a skirmisher. The con­ federates pushed forward, and as the skirmishers weie running back to tbe lines this man stopped for a moment on a little knoll. A shell came through a gap in the confederate lines, entered the base of the knoll, and when it exploded he wes lifted twenty feet high." "And torn to pieces?" . " We thought so, and a thousand men saw the performance. He was picked up by the confederates, sent to a hospital and then held a year and a half as a prisoner of war. Our captain reported him dead, he was carried down the rolls as such, and even now the tangle has not been straightened out. When taken prisoner the confederates put him down as James instead) of John, juid that helped mix matteip." "But was he badly woundedC" "Xo he did not loose a drop of blood, but was simply stunned, and it jsr&s six months before his hearing was fully re­ stored. He has paid a claim agent over $500 to secure his discharge as a Union soldier, bnt he has not troit Free Pnea.

Do so some maefc .f^ War Itilntim--r •* :j Stories of our great civil war possess as much charm for this generation of young people as those of the Revolution did for our grandeires, and all interest­ ing incidents and reminiscences gathered from the lips of onr rapidly aging veter­ ans should be preserved and read, that patriotism may be the yontbfotttrttid Of. t&o^ifePiipikiK- selves take a soldiers' place hi the ddmsft of our great country. The grim old warriors who fought with Grant and Sherman are now scattered over our broad land, engaged in peaceful jMHilHs and while gathered around the dMpful fireside delight to read the stories ii ^be adventures of their comrades. Ifcfr lol- lowing was gathered from the lips of Henry P. Gertr, of Shelby, Iowa, who al the age of 21 enlisted in Co. A, 20th Iowa, and served through the war. fie is now a substantial farmer. At the battle of Prairie Grove, Ark ̂; Dec. 7,1862, he made one of the most daring escapes from the rebels on record.' His regiment made three gallant rf*«gie over open ground and up a gentle slope to a dense woods, where the rebels were in heavy force, in the face of a severe fizfe of artillery and musketry, and were three times repulsed with great loss. On the last charge the line of battle was three miles long, and the field was coveni with dead and wounded. The 20th Iowa was ordered to lie down behind a stake and rider rail fence, here they remained about haH *a boor, keeping up a rapid fire upon tbe enemy. Gertz and two comrades, Abraham Pkk- ards and Dick Richards, of his eompauy, were in a corner of the fence, somewhat separated from their regiment, firing at the rebels. They were so absorbed in their work and the noise of th$ artiilwj was so great that they did not hear the command for the regiment to retree^ which was soon at a considerable dis­ tance. The enemy suddenly appeared am the charge in double files and only a fair paces distant. Richards, thinking re­ treat impossible, remained at the fenc% but young Gertz and Pickards started the run of about half a mile, which then separated them from the Union Kn*^, When about thirty paces from the fence a ball struck Gertz and passed through his left thigh, and he exclaimed, "I tun shot!" Pickards stopped and allowed, Gertz to place his arm around his shoul­ der. and they ran as one man under a heavy fire, the b&lls falling around then as thick as hall. Gertx's bayonet scab­ bard was shot away, and balls panned through his hat and the sleeve of hid blouse. Pickard's haversack, canteea and clothing were riddled with balls. They ran toward tbe lines of the 10th Illinois Cavalry, who opened ranks to receive them, on the order of the officer commanding, who asked to what regi­ ment they belonged, and upon being a** swered, exclaimed, "You are brave meal" A Veteran, in National Tribune. f « REMARKABLE FACTS. disease is usually sui ppoesdtlis incurable, but when properly treated ft large proportion of cases eaa heewML Thus Mrs. Ehnira Hatch, of FIhhai\ Ind., and Mrs Mary L.
