' :. Miller. often vi.-itcd his regiment in the I amp. '?n the march and on the battle tield. He in particular was always glad to sec me, because he bad learned that I felt interested in his men whether sick or well, wounded or dead. They loved him and obeyed , bin), because he loved them. I always considered his tender regard for his \ men e?|ual to his gallantry, bravery , and coolness in the face of the enemy. Well do I remember the many expr?s- j sions of love and admiration for him . from his men as I assisted them on j the midnight march and waited on | them in the lonely hospital on the I tield. They never once spoke of him ! as being stem, rash or overbearing at any time. In camp he was their j cvual, in battle he was their leader. 1 will venture to give a few reminis cences of one of the many battles in which his Regiment was engaged. I know something about it, because 1 was there and talked with him a half hour before the battle and I remember hi* last words to me. On Wednesday, the L'?ih of dune. 1802,1 left Rich mond to search furOrr's Itegiment. 1 found it mi the west side of the Chick ahominy, not far from the Virginia Central II. R. I took tea with you, J. L. Hemphill and Livey (irier. That night the Regiment marched across the Chickahominy at the rail road bridge and turned to the right in the direction of Mcchanicsville. It halted about a half mile from the rail road and there we all lay down in a ditch beside a hedge. This was a great protection from the shells and cannon balls of the enemy. Frequent ly the earth was thrown over on us. As I lay between you and Livey he said: "I expect to be killed. If you should live to see father and mother and the loved ones at home tell them to meet me in heaven." . We were aroused early Thursday .morning by the sound of artillery around Mechanicaville and were soon on the march in the direotion of Gaines' Mill. I gave up yours and Livey's blankets. Frank Clinkscales, a class mate, was assistant surgeon and he and I with an ambulance and a driver, whose name I have forgotten, drove oil to the loft of the road into a grove of pines about a half mile from the mill. It turned out to bo a most dangerous place. We were just in the rear of Crcnshaw's Battery, then in action with a Yankee battery on a hill to the south. We got out of the ambulance. Frank found shelter be hind a pine tree. I lay down in a tent covered with earth, ils entrance towards the battery and hence not a good protection, as pieoes of shell were flying all around me. I looked out and saw Frank standing by a pine as large as his body 30 feet behind me. But still I thought my place was safer than his and Haid to him, "Frank come to me." lie said, "No. I'll stand here." These were his last words. In a moment I could hear nothing but the whizzing of the shells and the crashing of the pines. I called him again but he made no au swer. Without ever looking for him OY the ambulance I got up and ran towards the battery, leaving it to my left. I had determined to go to tho Regi ment. I went back to the mill and followed in the direotion it had gone. In an hour or two I found it lying in a swamp ravine among a growth of broom grass and small pines. Capt. Miller told me to lie down, for the ene my were juBt a little distance up in the field. He asked mc if 1 knew that Dr. Clinkscales was killed; I told him "Xo, I left him over in the pines." "Well, he was killed, please go back and get his watch and instru ments and you had better get away from here, for we are waiting orders to charge that battery," he replied. I shook hands with you and Livey and some others sad then went back to that dangerous place in the pines. There I found Frank lying by the pine which had been struck by a can non ball just opposite his head and had torn it half off. Some one had taken his watch and instruments. I then went to the field hospital, a brick house not, over two miles from the mill and spent the night in help ing the surgeon to dress wounds, am putate shattered limbs. Your brother ?John was there with me in the work of mercy. Friday morning before daylight I started on the hunt for the regiment to learn the casualties in the battle. I I found it in an oak grove to the right T MINES'MILL. Pays :? tribute t<> the M(^D. Miller. Mali a m. of tin- road and you weit1 the first man 1 met.

Among the lir.-t wc found was I.ivey (Jrier. shot in the l'un head, lying on the edge of the woods where the eric my > battery stood. The next bodies we fourni were I'ruitts, Rickey's, and l'oint Lindsay's, Rev. II. T. Sloan, the chaplain, soon come and assisted in collecting the dead for burial. I'oint Lindsay was killed a little below the centre of the open field through which the charge was made. To get his body up to the woods Dr. Sloan got oil his horse and I got. on it and you and he handed the body up to me and I carried it in front of me up to the woods. I hunted up an axe and a shovel and wc dug four graves. Then came a sight too sad for your nerves to stand. When wc went to put Livcy's body in the grave, the entire back of his head was open and the brains lying on the ground. I said "Robert, what'will we do? It will never, never do to leave them out.' Von turned away saying, *i cannot look at it: if you can put them in, do it." With trembling hands I did the sad work and wc wrapped the body in his blanket and buried it ar.d the others side by side. This was Saturday morning, June 20th. I went to look for Frank's body but some one had taken it away. I went on to Richmond and got four coffins and returned to the field hospi tal and slept with John L. Hemphill. We spent Sabbath morning in waiting on the wounded as they lay in the yard and in the house. In the even ing I went to the camp and secured a wagon to tako the y ffins to the battle field. As the sun's last evening rays fell on the scene I took up the bodies of four brave men. The noise of bat tlo was still heard toward Cold Harbor. Strange work for the Sabbath day. On Monday I took the remains to Richmond and had them all put into zinc coffins well soldered all around and then put them in boxes for tran sportation. Thursday evening, July ??rd, I reached Due West and deliver ed my precious charges to their rela tives. It was a day of weeping. It was my sad task to deliver Livey's last message as we lay in the ditch on the Chickahominy. The father, moth er and Jennie, with whom I walked to the cemetery, have all met him in heaven beyond the sound of war. The funeral services in Due West on that memorable occasion, were very solemn. Dr. P.. C. Grier preached the funeral and his text was Job, 7, 10, "I loathe it. I would not live always." I met Col. Miller and his noble Regiment at Chancellorsville, Fred ericksburg, Wilderness and Spottsyl vania, and he never failed to express his gratitude for what I* had done for his gallant soldiers. I never met him after the war but I expect to meet him in a world of eternal peace. John II. Simpson. - ? mt m? In The Police Court -Tried and Judg ment in Its Favor. Some time ago Judge Andy E.

Official Example Needed. It i> very manifest that total absti nence enforced on special occasions is not all that is wanted to make the army as .-ober, and consequently a. efficient, as is desirable. In fact, spasmodic ?Horts at abstinence, fol - lowed by periods during which drink indulgence is sanctioned <?r palliated by-tho.se in authority, tend to keep alive that faith in alcoholic liquors as a means of enjoyment, and that opin ion of tin m as a fitting reward for bravery and endurance, that are the bane of the army. And such opin ions are fostered and encouraged by the custom which constrains men. otherwise sane and reasonable, to toast in alcoholic liquors the victories won by and dependent for their success upon total abstention from all such enfeebling and demoralizing agencies. What is wanted is a public and official opinion which shall say that the absti nence asked for in the men shall be encouraged by the example as well as enforced by the authority of the offi cers.-?^/*/. ./. .1.

The working peo ple of this country spend at least $750,000,0(11) a year for whiskey and beer. In fifteen years they could, if they would, save that money, buy all the railroads in the country, with all their lands, stocks and bonds, and running equipment?such as cars and locomotives. How can people expect to be other than poor who are so wasteful and extravagant? Henry George said much about abolishing poverty, but never anything about abolishing rum. Father McGlynn never touches the great question at all. "Poverty," say they, "must be abolished by some change in the laws ?by legislative enactment." It can not be. It never will be. Let the criminal silence of the press and of public speakers upon the rum traffic cease. Let us all speak out and tell the truth.

The War President Cast Into Depth of Despair by Hooker's Defeat at Clinucellorsville. One story it. particular Secretary Stanton told, that I can remember, startled us. and its details arc still vivid in my memory. Mi. Stanton had been relating to us many inci dents of the funny side of Mr. Lin coln's character, when suddenly he stopped, and. after remaining silent for probably a minute, looking in a vacant way at some manuscript lyiug on the desk before him, he turned in his chair and said: "Gentlemen, there is nothing that give-, me so much pain as the opinion that seems prevalent, judging fror, the newspapers, that Mr. Lincoln was an habitual joker: that it was an impossibility for him to be se rious, no matter how grave the occa sion might be. Nothing i- further from the truth. His heart was big and good, his nature warm and sunny: hence he naturally looked at the bright side of events; but no man of my acquaintance was more serious than lie when the surroundings of the case warranted that he should be. I will give you a point in instance. "Mr. Lincoln, during the war, was very sensitive of the criticisms of his administration by the newspaper press, believing it to be, as he asserted, the true voice of the people. The fail ures of McDowell. McCTcllan, Burn side and Pope with the Army of the Potomac and the criticisms made thereon by the newspapers almost crazed him. Time and again he would free himself from the executive man sion and seek my little office, the only place in Washington, he often said, where he could be absolutely free from interruption. When he became clos eted with me on these visits Mr. Lin coln would unbosom himself and talk of his cares and woes. Several times he insisted that he ought to resign, and thus give the country an oppor tunity to secure some one better fitted to accomplish the great task expected of the president. Or, if he did not resign, he thought he ought to im press upon Congress the propriety of giving absolute control of the army to some purely military man. It was during one of these moods that he conceived the idea of placing Hooker in command of the Army of the Poto mac and of vesting him with such power that, in his opinion, he could not fail of success. He had a great idea of Hooker's ability as a soldier, and in addition he believed him to be an honest man and a sincere patriot. He wanted him to fight what he intend ed should be, and what he felt would be, the closing battle of tho war. Ac cordingly, when Hooker got under way and the news came that at Chan cellorsville ho would make his fight. Mr. Lincoln was in the greatest state of mental excitement. From the time that Hooker's army began its march until the amoke of battle had cleared from the fatal field of Chancellorsville ho scarcely knew what it was to sleep. "It will be remembered that the, fight lasted three days. During the first two days it looked as if Hooker was about to accomplish what so-many generals before him had failed to do; but, early on the third day the usual half hour dispatches began to make matters look dark and ominous of de feat. That whole day Mr. Lincoln was miserable. He ate nothing and would see no one but me. As it grew* dark the dispatches ceased coming at all. Mr. Lincoln would walk from the white house to my department and anxiously inquire for news from Hooker. With the going down of the sun a cold and drenohicg rain set in, which lasted through the night. At about 7 o'clock Mr. Lincoln ceased his visits to my department, and gave orders at the executive mansion that he would see no one before morning. An hour afterward a dispatch of an indefinite character was received from Hooker, and I hurried with it to Mr. Linooln's apartments. When I enter ed I found him walking the floor, and his agonized appearance so terrified me that it was with difficulty that I could speak. Mr. Lincoln approached me like a man wild with anxiety and excitement, seized the dispatch from my hand, read it, and, Mb face slight ly brightening, remarked, 'Stanton, there is hope yet!' At my solicita tion, Mr. Lineoln accompanied me to the war department, where he agreed to spend the night, or until something definite was heard from Hooker. - For five hours, tbe longest and most weari some of my life, I waited before a dis patch annoonoing the retreat of Hook er was received. When Mr. Lincoln read it be threw np his hands and ex claimed: 'My G od 1 Stanton, our can Be is lost! We ere ruined?we are ruin ed; and such a fearful loss of life! My Godl this is more than I oan endure 1' He stood trembling visibly, his face of a ghastly hue, tho perspiration standing ont in big spots on his brow. He put on his hat and coat and began to paoe the floor. For five or more minoisa he was silent, and then, turn ing to me, he said: 'If I am not about early to-morrow, do not send for me, nor allow any one to disturb me. De feated again, and so many of our countrymen killed! What will the people say?' "As he finished he started for the door. I was alarmed. There was something indescribable about the president's face and manner that made me feel that my chief should not be left alone. How to approach Lim without creating suspicion was the thought of a second. Going up to him and laying my hand on bis shoulder, I said: 'Mr. President; I, too, am feel ing that I would rather be dead than alive: but is it manly?is it brave? that we should be the first to succumb? 1 have an idea: You remain here with i me to-night. Lie down on yonder lounge, and, by the time you have had a few hours' sleep. I will have a vessel at the wharf, and we will go to the front and see for ourselves the condi tion of the army.' ' The idea of visiting the army in person acted like a tonic. Mr. Lin coln instantly adopted the suggestion. The next morning we left Washington on a gunboat for Hooker's command. On our return trip Mr. Lincoln told me that when he started to leave the war department on that evening he had fully made up his mind to go im mediately to the I'otomac river and there end his life, as many a poor creature?but noue half so miserable as he was at that time?bad done be fore him.''?Congressman Young, in 1 *h iladelyh in T'im es. - -?~*m*-? mmm ?
