Colonel Musser relates an interest­ ing incident of army experience, says the St. Louis Republican, which oc­ curred while he was in command of the post of Washington, Arkansas, In the summer of 1164. The story as re­ lated is told by a Federal officer, a prisoner in oamp. to Capt. James T. Otey, of the eighth Missouri Infantry. Tte Captain was playing the part of the hospitable host toward his gueM and prisoner, through the medium of a couple of tin cups and a jug filled with home made whiskey, clear as orystal and uncontaminated by ezoise tax. Lieutenant Boren was a Fed­ eral officer In an Ohio regiment, and had fallen Into the hands of Dick Tay­ lor about the time of Bank's Red River expedition. Becoming weary of captivity and disgusted with Con­ federate rations, be planned with sev­ eral of bis fellow-prisoners a scheme by which one at least, of their mem- bers might make his escape. Whisky poker was played to determine whieb one should be given the first chance to escape. Lieutenant Beren wen. In accordance with the scheme agreed upon, he feigned death, was burled lu a shallow grave, and succeeded in making his resurrection after the de> parture of the Confederates and his companions. The deserted grave was discovered during the day by some loiterers about the camp and the ruse 'dropped onto," and reported to the commandant at Marshfield, La„ who (ft was struck all these but one were called off. This one ooctinued the pursuit, and at the end of the third day overtook and treed the Lieuten­ ant in the dense woods near Wash­ ington, Ark. The hound guarded the tree for three days and three nights, until the soldiers, who took their time in the pursuit, oame up and again took charge of the well-nigh starved fogi> tire. cot lie' A. B. repaired to the Lake Shore oar shop*, where he knew bis father was em­ ployed. The old man greeted him affectionately, and after they bad joyed a short conversational said suddenly: f " "Here, father, take my oversoat be back in a minute." But the boy did net return. learned through other members of the regiment, that bis bey had returned to the army and that be served with honor and safety to the end of the war but although he wrote repeatedly, no line of expiation was ever heard from the youth, After the war all trace of him was lost. Once, thirteen yeara ago the father saw an account In 4 newspaper of the drowning ef Charles Davidson In the Pacfiic wreck, and did not doubt that the ungrateful bojr had thus met his punishment In the form ef a violent death. The other day. however, a traveling man dropped from a train and acci­ dentally ran across a resident there who called himself Charles Davidson, had been in the army, and had speaf his boyhood in Adrian. My father's name was Lyman, said be." "He Is still alive. I knew him,n said the drummer. What! My father alive!" was the exclamation of the astonished Ana Arborite. My father alive? Why I wrote him more than a hundred letters when ^ 1 was in the army and never get an answer. I thought he must be dead.* Oh, there can't be any mistake ' about it; he's very old but still alive aad well," The son had some doubt, but his visit 1 to Adrian last Sunday assured him^ that the drummer had been the bearer ' of truthful tiding, for the father and , sen met once more after a separation1 of twenty-four years. Mr. Davidson, the younger, is fore­ man in the Ann Arbor Cbarter office and superintendent of the City Eleo- trlc Light works, and is an excellent and respected gentleman. Ms U now forty-seven years old, and his father is eighty-two. They htd lived in ad­ joint ig counties for many years, and but for the drummer's chance oenver- '; satlon with the soa would still be unknown to each other. "Here's your overcoat." said the old man at. tbolr recent meellogt you not come back fer it?" I received a telegram commanding me to return to my regiment at onoe and go to the front. I had only time to catch my train, and although I tried to send word to yon I know so few people that 1 could net do It. I had to go without saying good-by to you, but comforted myself with the recoleetieil oould write, but you did not get my letters." Extract from Toung Bayonet Points on what he knows about war and pensions: "And at once a howl goes up that he is antagonistic to the soldier's inter­ ests, these howling partisans forget- ing the fact that he has signed more peusion bills than any three of bis predecessors since Lincoln. 8uch mis­ representations are damnable." We proved the utter falsity of the above not long ago, and requested Tonng Bayonet Points to tell bis readers ho w many pension bills Grover bad vetoed--but be has remained si­ lent on all war matters ever siace. We give below another sample of vbat Grover does foi the o?d veterans. How does it suit you young fellows? "Mrs. Ann Butterfleld, of Nashua, N. H„ whose claim for pension the presideht vetoed upon the ground that there was no proof that her son was in the service of the country when he lost his life, has been a life-long resi­ dent of Nashua, Is 88 years ot age and in needy circumstances. Her only son, Lieutenant Augustus A. B. Butterfleld. served his country long and faithfully In the Second Illinois Cavalry, and lost bis life in 1865 on the ill-fated Sultana, on which lie and a large num­ ber of his comrades were passengers on their way home from tbe war. It Is believed that he was mustered out of the service a few hours before he came to his death but whether be was in the service or out of the service at tbe known moment when the boiler of the Sultaua exploded matters not; bl6 aged mother, whose only child he was and who gave her all to her country. Is entitled to tbe respect and support of this government. Of all the cruel ties that Mr, Cleveland has Inflicted upon his country's defenders and their dependents none are more heartless and cruel than his veto of this claim " [We were very near tLe Sultana when hundreds of our former com­ rades in prison were hurried into eter­ nity, and know of several cases like the one quoted. ] ••Here's Your Overcoat." In 1863 Charles B. Davidson, the wn of Lyman Davidson, a rather promi­ nent business man of this place, left hererwrites a St. Louis correspondent accompanied by a sister, and located in Western Missouri, their mother having previously died. Shortly after their arrival as their. Western^home young Davidson enlisted in the Uaion army, and In 1864 visited his father at Adrian on a furlough. He reached the Md Xs Queer Peoples This Is the title of the latest, and by all odds the mo*t charming book for little people we have ever seeu. Ita fables, or stories are simply Ioeompar­ able, but the illustrations are im­ mense. The author, Palmer -Cox, la a new star In the juvenile firmament, but be shines with unique brilliancy. HlS, charming fables rival those of th#j famous /Ewp, and he far outshlnea that celebrated literary comet by Ills nimltable illustrations. He dresset up his birds, animals, insects. giaalSt faries, goblins, etc. In grotesque style and makes them reasou, talk, daooe« and out up the oddest pranks lmagtoa* ble, affording Infinite delight, as well as excellent instruction to the young* The issue of his book. "Queer People/* lias brought a perfect ovation of praise from the brightest men In the land. Gen. Clinton B. Fiske sal It has set my children wild with light," and Col. Russell H. Conwell, ; \ the famous lecturer, says: "Don't gend me another such a book, for I !*$• can't get my children to bed." > -I; Tbe famous statesman, diplomat and .
