We had a lot of poker players in the company who were very much in the habit of playing in camp when they got an opportunity,these fellows would gather in sonic tent and get up considerable interest in the game and sometimes several dollars would change hands as a result. The winter quarters were usually a cloth tent with an improvised chimney of sticks and dirt with a Hour barrel set on top for a smoke flue. In one of these tents one1 night in the winter of 'Gt-'Go, a I lot of gamesters were at work when ! Dolph slipped up anil ] >oured a liandfull of ground red pepper down the chimney into the fire and capped the flue, with a saddle blanket which caused the funics or the pepper to stifle the players who J rolled out ?f the tent to escape suflocation.

Pant by One of His Army Comrades. Mr. Editor: The sad announcement of Dr. A. E. Fant's death recalls ninny incidents in his life 1 would lx* glad to relate were I able to do so. He was one of the origi" nal members of the "McKissick rangei*sM a company of cavalry raised at the Ix'ginning of the war and commanded by that peerless soldier and gentleman, Col. I. G. McKissick. Dolph as we always called him 1 met for the first time at Camp Hampton, I miles below Columbia where the company was mustered into the service of the Confederate States. He was merely a lx?y in age hut a man in size and strength. To use a common phrase "He was much of a man." He was the "gag*' or clown of the company and by bis genial dis" position he soon became a friend of the Holcombo Ix'gion Cavalry. There was scarcely a man or horse in the command that he did not nick-name. He had a witty humor alsiut him that made it impossible for camp life to become monotonous. No matter how cold or hot it was? whether we had rations or not "Dolph" was always cheerful. I never knew him to miss roll call or lx: reported almcnt without leave. He was always ready for duty. He. had a wonderful store of hook learning and a memory that enabled him to apply it without a moments reflection when the same was in accord with the object in view. He I had read Slmkcspere, Milton, I Georgia scenes, Simon Suggs, and in fact, almost every work of rom :uicc then in existence. He had a wonderful penchant for conjuring up the moat unpronouncftblc names ever heard. These he applied to man or beast ae he saw fit, and like; Adam the name he gave them soon got upon cvcrylxxlvs lips and the man or horse (oh the case might he), was ever known and called by that name. At no time was he ever too low spirited to have his fun. No matter whether in enmp, on the road, on regular routine duty, in battle or wherever he was, lie was the. same, l>olph Fant ? impressible. There are many laughable incidents I might relate just here which would recall his funny tricks, hut but it is impracticable to do so now. There was nothing mean in any of I thorn nml niAul'ivf lluwii ?? !??-. I The Birth Plaee of Washington. In Bingular contrast with Mt. Vernon, the home and last restingplace of Washington, which is visited by fifty thousand Americans yearly, the monument which marks the place of his birth stands in silent vigil- Rarely does any one visit it. Few more inaccessible points can be found on the coast, so near a gnat city. The house where Washington was born faced Pope's ('reek, an nflluent of the lower Potomac, a few miles from the main stream. The estate ia Westmoreland County is still known as Wakefield. Tdere the government engineers in 1891 erected an obelisk fifty-one feet high. They also built a wharf, eleven hundred feet long, on the Potomac, at an accessible point. A road two miles long loads from the landing.place to the monument, | and passes directly bv the vnuli I where Washington's ancestors lie buriad. Tt was hoped that excursion and other river l>oat? would bring pilgrims to this shrine; hut a few years after the wharf was completed it suffered so seriously from an ice jam as to lx> no longer safe, and Congress has been asked to appropriate money to repair it. The nearest river landing which boats now make is eight miles distant, and the road overland from it is roundabout. There i? no steam railroad within several miles. It takes longer to go by any public conveyance from ' Washington City to the birthplace of Washington than to go to Pittsburg, a strange contrast in transportation facilities since Washington himself made these journeys. The occupants of the Wakefield estate, when this hoy was l?orn, little thought of the efforts which a groat nation would make, nearly two conturicc aftcrdard, to keep that spot frosh in memory, among other monumental tributes to its foremost son.?Youth's Companion.
