The v aw 6,711 posts in the forty-two departments. Wednesday afternoon the ladies of the Atheneum gave a reception in honor of Mrs. Lo^an. The weather during the encampment was most delightful, and the veterans ap- preeiated it. Iu 1879 the membership of the Grand Army was only 35,961, a net gain in ten years of vU)-t,020. The ex-p'-isoners of war held a meeting lit Milwaukee, Aug. 27th. The decorations on both public and private buildings were iu every respect ^ihead of t hoss at previous encampments. Oiie of the features of the encampment, was a brass cauuou captured at Sliiloh by the Fourteenth Wisconsin Infantry. The Illinois Department made a very creditable showing in the grand parade. General James S. Martin was in com­ mand. It is estimated that 3,000 lllinoisans took part in the parade. General Martin Endorsed. General Martin was indorsed the National Encampment. The following action was taken: "Resolved, That the j6int action of the Commander-in-chief and the Department Commanders to seeure for the comrades a rate of one cent per mile to and from the encampment meets the hearty ap­ proval of this body, and we hereby ex­ tend the hearty thanks of the encamp­ ment to those railways and transports tion companies that conceded such a rate." ot course, those by canister and round shot, and are mostly mortal. They take off arms or legs or the head of a man, as was the case with the captain of a South­ ern battery in the battle of Pea Ridge. Splinters of shells are less dangerous, but when thrown into groups or columns disable many men. A single shell sent from a I'aixhan gun, from Fort Duncan, Maryland Heights, iu my presence, to Bolivar Heights, agninRt & g*"oup of Southern horsemen, killed Gen. Lewis and wounded or killed nineteen of his companions. I have lieafd wounded soldiers groaning under great pain, but I never heard them crying out or using Erofane language. When halting on orseback on the right o? the 24th Mas sachusettsiu the battle of New Market the regiment was under fire at close range for about 40 m inutes, losing £500 men in killed and wounded, but not a loud cry was heard from those who were wounded.--Chicago Ledger. Make tha Survivors Comfortable. The Grand Army of the Republic lost 4,696 of its members by death hist year. This shows how rapidly the veterans are passing away, and suggests at the same time that the country's highest duty is to make them as comfortable and happy as possible with liberal penwonB.--of. Louis Globe Democrat. We have been so busy this week that it is impossible to furnish an account of the 95t h re-union which took place at Nunda, Wednesday* Sept. 4th. We learn there were about sixty, of the old veterans present, and that they enjoyed the meet­ ing. of old-time comrades to the fullest extent. The gains and losses from various sources in the Grand Army for the year ending June SO, 1889, are as follows: Members In good standing, June 80, 'f>8 .361,1M Gain by muster-In 44,349 Gain by transfer 8,213 Gain by re-instatement S8.8W Gain by delinquent reports 18,389 Total gain.... 93.45 As-gregate 434.644 Loss by death 4,606 Less by honorable discharge.. 8,143 Loss by transfer 10,184 Loss by suspension 34,839 Loss by dishonorable dlschargo... 167 Loss by delinquent reports 20,012 Total loss.... 72,046 Members in good standing June SO, l89..3t>2,flB3 Tots I members remaining suspended... 22,633 Total members delinquent reports 5,456 Total membership June 30, 1889....410,($0 That "Freak" Again. "Young Bayonet Points" evidently does.nut appreciate his name, yet it is really one of his own choosing; that is, he formerly called his abuse of the G. A. It., and the old soldiers iu general, "Bay­ onet Points," and Win. H. Cowlin, in the McHenry PLAINDEALEH, dubbed him "Young Bayonet Points," and soon drove the would-be soldier editor from the field of that class of journalism, or in other words he made the "freak" the laughing stock of about all the old sol­ diers in the county, and now he is known far and near as the young soldier-hater. It is therefore no surprise to the veterans to have "Young Bayonet Points" come out in the Democrat- last week and plead the baby act by trying to throw all the blame on to some other fellow when he was directly called to a halt on account of the lying and scurrilous clippings he has been printing of late relative to Cor­ poral Tanner and others in charge or having to do with pension matters. We have this to say to "Young Bayonet Points:" The four persons he attacked in his copjjerhead sheet last week are perfectly capable of taking care of them­ selves, and their standing among the soldier element of this county, and among all decent, respectable people is as far above that of the Democrat's scavenger as the heavens are above the earth. --Soldiers' Dcjmrtnient of the Harvard Herald. We shall take pleasure in paying our respects to McHenry County's young sol­ dier-hater in the very near future. The youngster gave himself "dead away" in a recent issue of the Democrat and we are after hiin. How Wounded Men Behave. If a soldier is wounded his behavior de­ pends on the manner in which he is wounded and whether he is of a quiet or excitable temper Flesh wounds received in action are in many cases not felt at all until the blood comes and the man gets exhausted. When a bone is struck the shock is great and accompanied by acute pain. I have seen poor fellows struck in the breast by Minnie balls re­ maining in action for minutes, then sink­ ing on their knees or falling on their faces. Not all such severe wounds are mortal. Sergeant Ture, of the 12th Mis­ souri, received a ball which went right through both temples, and he lived for years afterwards; a soldier who was shot through the left lung lived for a whole year; Gen. Shields was shot through the breast in Mexico and lived to an advanced a^e. The worst hita, are, Sherman's March to the Sea. "Allow me to relate to you a little episode of my famous march to the sea," remarked General Sherman to the Louis­ ville Courier*! ournn I correspondent. "One day 1 halted with my staff at a house on a large plantation and asked the gray-headed old planter sitting on piazza for a drink of water. He called to some of his colored men, then slaves, and ordered a bucket of water, which was brought with a gourd to drink from. While I and my officers were drinking from the gourd, the old planter sat and eyed us inquisitively. He, of course, knew that I was an officer from my dress and staff, but did not know my rank of ffice or nuiiie. "Hearing one of my staff address me as 'General,' he turned quickly with a look of surprise and said: " 'Are you a General?' " 'Yes, sir.' "What is your name?" , " 'Sherman.' " 'Sherman! You General Shermaa?' " 'I suppose I am.' " 'How many men have you got?' " 'A million.' " 'Now, I'd just like to have you answer me one question more. Where are you going from here?' " 'Well, now, that is considerable to re­ quest of an entire stranger, and under the circumstances.' " 'But I promise to keep it a secret.' " 'Are you sure that you can keep a secret if I impart it to you?" " 'Certainly, certainly I will, on my honor as a gentleman.' " 'But there is a risk, you know. What if I should tell and my intentions become publicly known?' " 'I promise that I will not tell your secret to a single human being. You can trust to ine implicitly.' " 'You are quite sure I can trust you?' "Most certainly, you can, with the ut­ most safety' (said eagerly). " 'Well, then, I will tell you. I am go­ ing where I d----d please. Good-day.' The expression on that man's face can better be imagined than described on his being informed of my intentions." Andersonville Prison Provident Spring. CHICAGO,. Aug. 30.--At intervals for twenty years I have read in various prints about the so-called "Provident Spring," of Andersonville prison, and how it burst forth from the earth a stream as large as one's wrist in answer to the prayers of the Union soldiers. Now, it seems to me it is time that sort of nonsense was corrected. As I was an inmate of Andersonville at the time and was the Corporal in charge of detach­ ment No. 87 (270 men), and loaned a broken shovel I had under my charge to help dig the spring, and assisted, with others, to dig it, each man working ten to fifteen minutes, or as long as our emaciated conditions would allow, I can give the honest facts regarding it. The portion of the prison in which this water was found was on the south side of the camp and on a side-hill, probably 200 feet up from the bottom, where tJiat dirty, greasy creek ran that we had®to get our water from. At this particular place ou the hillside it was wet and the earth was so soft the men could not camp on it. I myself, with others, had frequently oommeuted on it as a good jlace to dig a well, and wanted to try it jut could not get a shovel to dig with About a month later, my messmate, a Mr. Millard, got a position in the cook house outside of the prison, and one day he smuggled into a bag of cooked rice to be issued to my detachment a broken shovel which we were to use with pieces of canteens to dig a well iu our own de­ tachment and corner of the prison, it be­ ing one of the rules of the camp for each detachment to have the first right to all the water the detachment needed from its own well or spring, if they had one, or could get one by digging. After I got the old shovel I went to the sergeant of the detachment that held possession of the spring ground, and offered him the use of it if he would allow my detachment to have joint use of th« water with his, provided we found any. He asked several of his comrades, and they concluded my request was too much, and said if I could get a shovel they could, and they would have the water for themselves first. I did not tell them how I had managed to get the shovel, but re­ turned to my detachment, about a block from the spring, and commenced at once to dig a well, each man being eager to help as long as he could, usually from ten to twenty minutes. About a week later the sergeant of the spring detach­ ment came to me and wanted to borrow the shovel that night when we were not using it, saying he did not see how I got a shovel, when neither he nor any one else could. On consultation with my own detachment comrades we concluded not to lend the shovel unless we had an equal right in the water, if he should tiud any. This was finally agreed to, and in a few minutes myself, with several of my de­ tachment, went there in charge of that precious shovel to sea that it was care­ fully used, and help to dig if necm<ary. Work was commenced at once and a hole dug about four feet deep, in the bottom of which the water came quite freely. A rest of about half an hour was taken to see how much the water wauld rise. We found that it was coming in considerably. It was concluded best to dig a ditch from the bottom of the hole so the water would flow out on the down-hill side. This was done, and a spout about 1 long, made of a piccc of baik Ittken irom a root, was used to allow the water to flow into our tin cups. My recoiUaction of the stream is that it wa& about the size of a large lead pencil. 1 know I bad to stand a minute or two to get a quart tin cup full. The water was clear, pure and cold. It was a great relief to the two detachmente who owned it. No water was allowed to waste night or day, there being always a line of men waiting to get their cup of watgr. , Now, if there was any praying done for that spring I tievigr heard of it while in the prison, .i^dmifc there was consider­ able preying "here, for which six men were hung by our own vigilant commit­ tee inside the prison. I remained a guest at Andersonville about two months after the spring was dug, until I finally made 1 my escape and joined my regiment in the Army of the Potomac. I was a corporal in Company H, 3d New York cavalry. G. W. KrMBiE, Vf No. 2232 Wabash Avemta. --Chicago Tribune. Comrade Rumbie tells it just about M it was, and as we recollect it.--ED.

Many of you have been busy at­ tending the encampment at Milwaukee^ re-unions and the county fair, and may not feel as though you could spend the time, but to you I have a word to say. At our county encampment you can have ,a better time than where there is & large crowd as at Milwaukee. On the 11th the new soldiers' monument, erected by the people of Nunda and Algonquin townships, in the new Union Cemetery, and the Hon. S. M. Cullom, United States Senator, will give theaddreoaonthelzth and Prof. Whitney, of Beloit College, and the Hon. A. J. Hopkins, of Aurora, will give the addresses; let every soldier and his friends come and hear these excellent talkers talk. Camp fires on the evenings of the 11th and 12th, where every one will have a chance to talk. Music wiU be furnished by the famous Veteran Fife and Drum Corps of Chicago. If you come by rail get a certificate where you buy your ticket and be returned for one-third fare. We have made arrangements with six different railroads for this reduced rate. Come out old comrades and let us cement a little closer the ties that bind us gether. F. E. Cox, Sec. *3^ ISF* This girl must be a born fighter. The following happened at Lake Bluff, according to the correspondent of the Lake County Patriot: A plucky girl made it interesting fop an offensive tramp the other day after this fashion. The family had all gone from the cottage, leaving the girl in pos­ session. She observed a fellow leisurely climbing the stairs, and hailed him, ex­ claiming, "Get out of here or I'll call the family!" The fellow replied that he had seen the family go away. The girl caught hold of him and dragged Mm down the stairs. He coolly turned to a writing desk near by, as though about to take the contents, when he was at- tacted by the girl with an nmhrallAj which she proceeded to spoil oyer the fellow's cranium. She then put him out of doors and showered him with boiling water, alter which he concluded to re­ treat.
