PRANKS OF SOLDIERS
INCIDENTS. THAT LENT VARIETY TO
THE LIFE OF THE FIGHTERS.
Tirane During the -War Between. the
States When Discipline Was For-
- gotten and the GeneralFound I
Wise to Ignore theAract.
"Discipline didn't count," said the ser-
geant, "in the -matter of pranks. There
were not better soldiers in the army than
the boys of the Eighty-fifth Illinois, and
none yielded more readily to discipline or
ripened more rapidly in. the rough school
of experience. But the men of the Eighty-
fifth were, after Stone River, Chickamau-
ga, Kenesaw, Peach PreCreek, Atlanta
and the march to the sea, as much given
to pranks as -they were in. their first
match. in Kentucky in the summer of
1862. We arrived at Riehmond on the
long march from the Carolinas early in
May, 1865. Our brigade was made up of
seasoned soldiers, if there were any in the
army, but they came north in the belief
that General Halleck or Secretary Stan-
ton'had put a slight on. General Sherman,
anct they were looking for trouble.
"The march from North Carolina after
the surrender of Johnston. had been a
sort of picnic for the boys, but discipline
was as strict as it was in front of Atlan-
ta,- and it was needed when we came to
Richmond. Halleek, then. in command
of the departnaant of the James, direeted
that Sherman' n army pass in review be-
fore him as it marched through Rich-
mond. Sherman forbade the review, and
Halleck refused to permit any of Sher-
tuan's men to enter the city. Ex -Con-
federates and citizens came and went at
will, but when Sherman's men attempted
to visit the city they were met at the pon-
toou bridge by a provost guard and turn-
ed -back; _
"Sherman's men resented all this, and
they were furious over the intimation
that they.were kept out of the city in the
interests of good order and because they
could not be trusted. •The boys talked
only among themselves and organized to
carry out a plan to see the city. One
day a large crowd of unarmed soldiers
assembled at the south end of the bridge
and at a given signal rushed upon the
guards, pushing many of them into the
river and overwhelming the _others by,
sheer weight of numbers. In short, Sher-
tnaWs men, acting without orders and
without officers, seized' the bridge and
held it while the boys went over and
looked about the fallen Confederate capi-
'tel. So far as I know, Halleck Made no
complaint Of this - irregular proceeding,
and Sherman did not -.notice it.
"After the grand review at Washington
the Eighty-fifth Illinois, with the other
regiments of the brigade, went into camp
near the Soldiers'. home, and the men
were permitted to roam at will over the
city. One morning s-ome of the boys dis-
covered a soldier at Fort Slemmor walk -
hag up and down. in front of an officer's
tent carrying a log on his shoulder. One
of the boys was sent over to investigate,
and when he reported that the soldier at
the fort was carrying the log as punish -i
ment for a very -trivial offense the men
decided to interfere. They went in force,
but without arms, -over to the fort, took
charge, dismissed- the log carrier to his
quarters and jovially in.formed the officer
in command that the punishment was
contrary to the regulations and Sher -
man's men didn't want him to let it oc-
cur again.
"At the close of the interview -they pick-
ed up the log and brought it at_the head
of an orderly column into our camp. At
the beginning of the war such a proceed-
ing would have thrown army headquar-
ters into a,panic. tut then the war was
over, and Sherman's men were in great
favor, and the case was not even report-
ed."
e
"I remember a case," said the major,
"in which soldiers who came to frolic re-
mained to work. One night our brigade
camped at Tullahoma, and a fire called
the meii to'kthe crossing of the principal
streets. The boys were at first greatly
amused at thelefforts made by home tal-
ent to put out the fire and were free with
the most absurd suggestions. But when
the matter became serious and the few
citizens were bewildered and helpless the .
soldiers fell into renks, org nized quickly
a dozen. fire brigades and, u icier the direc-
tion of men who had foug t big fires at
home, worked half dine night to save the
property of their eneffles. They checked
and after a time mastered the fire, but
from first to last they bore themselves
like soldiers on a frolic, exeept that they
made a busin ss of putting out the fire.
"That sem brigade after the terrific
battle of Jan. 2, 1863; at Stone river, re-
turned frone the last c arge against
Breckinridge's corps to th ir bivouac of
the morning to find Negle 's men carry-
ing off the rails out of w ich they had
-built rude . shelters the iglat before.
Palmer's men hurriedly sta ked arms and
by common impulse surrou ded, at a full
run, the rail experts of the oth r division.
Both divisions had participated in the
charge, and had marched back in the
dusk of evening with thethattle spirit on
them. Palmer's men came; on the scene
at the swinging, exultant st6p of victory,
marching like regiments on review. But
_no sooner did they see Neglers men
carrying off their rails than they dropped
the soldier and bore down on the raiders
like football players, in a rush. The
movement was Bo spontaneous and the
nurabers were so great that Negley's men
were overwhelmed, and Palmer's men
carried back the rails frolicking like mad.
"The scene :was as tumultuous as a
hundred football struggles compressed in-
to one and the uproar was terrific. Neg-;
ley's men were forming for a counter
rush when, Generals Palmer and Negley
came on the scene, the one bareheaded
and the other disheveled. Negley com-
plained jocularly that it was a pretty
howdy do when he couldn't confiscate
rails enough to shelter his !headquarters
from the rain without Palmer turning out
froth 5,000 to 10,000 men"to prevent the
confiscation. Palmer rephe that he had
no rails himself to lend, ut his men
ralght have if they were a sproached In
the right way, but, by tlij great horn
spoon, nobody could steal the rails Which
his men had stolen with infinite tronble
two days before. In this sp rit the affair
was settled, each general ordering his
mea to quarters if they coyl find thela."

THE GF1EAT DISMAL SWAMP.
A Region Strange and interesting,
Weird and Solitary.
'the Great Dismal swamp is a region
strenge and interesting, weird and soli-
tary. It occupies a billowy plain sone 40
miles in length by 25 miles in breadth
along the Atlantic seaboard, extending
from Suffolk, Va., in a southerly dire&
toe, well into the bounds of North Caro-
! line.
Its deep shades, aTeat stretches of
darrIke And its solitude make it a region
of nterest. To the naturalist and sports-
man it has much to offer. In its silent
fastnesses the black bear finals at home
admirably adapted to his protecti n and
in ,every way favorable to his in rease.
Here amid the dense growth of +der-
brOsh and timber he may live i com-
• parative safety, and there is perh ps no
locality in the whole eastern nited
States of like extent which can ffer -a
lar er bear population than this great
mo .ass. The white tailed deer is Ise an.
abundant denizen of the swam , fre-
quenting the elevated parts.
In addition to the deer and bears there
Is a big game feature of a rather u usual
nature. The swamp Abounds in wild
cows. These animals, of a -brown color
and somewhat smaller than. the oi inaty
cow, having for many years been under
the peculiar conditions of the swa al p, un-
til they are almost completely spec', lized,
are extremely wild. They are fe alized
from the herds of the farms adja nnt to
the swamp, and arethe descendants of
cattle which many years back wa dered
into the fastnesses. and were lost t their
owners, finally becoming wild. Be ng no
longer recognized as property the ports
man. may call game all that he ma have
• the prowess to shoot.
Lake Drummond, some ten mile from
Suffolk, Va., is the only great 15 dy of
water in the swamp. It is a be utiful
sheet on- water, of an oval conto r and
fringed 'with a heavy growth of 1imber,
nsostly Cypress, white cedar and black
guru. 16 water is of a dark color owing
to the decaying vegetation of thle sur-
rounding country, but is suitahle to
drink, and possesses the quality of re --
ambling pure longer than most other
water. For this reason it is orte car -
lied to sea by sailors on long voyag
The characteristic 'mammalian fauna is
of a semitropical nature as regar s the
smaller forms, while there are many
tropical plants. Of birds there a •e• not
many kinds, •prothonotary, hoode and
Swainson's warblers and the Ma -yland
yellowthroat being the principal ses eller.
forms. The trees, some of whish are
primeval, are large --and beautiful, while
there is a luxuriant growth of- fer s and
aquatic plants. Cane grows in prefu-
sion
CULINARY CAPERS.
A round of broiled Hamburg stea with
a crisp slice of delicate bacon on top is
delicious.
Stock intended for clear soup mist be
skimmed as it boils and as long s the
scum. continues to rise.
A layer of sliced onions placed on be
top of a roast of beef and allowed ts cook
there Win give a delicious flavor o the
meat, while their distinctive flay r will
not be notieeable.
Minced or stewed potatoes or an prep-
aration of that sort should never Ie stir-
red with an iron spoon, as it is in many
kitchens. A. plated silver fork k pt ;for
the purpose or a wooden salad ork is
much better.
Cream vegetable soups should ac-
companied with squares of toasted 'bread;
oyster and clam soups with pickl s and
crackers. Croutons should be serve with
purees; with gumbo boiled rice is he c-
conrpaniment.
Cauliflower should be placed hea do xi
In cold, salted water for 10 or 15 mu es
before cooking, to draw out insec s. In
boiling, slightly salted water sho ld be
used, and the head should be la ed.
downward in the kettle.
Plea For Single Beds.
Tvve in a bed is the usual cus of
om
sleeping, in the United States at least,
and also in Canada and England; but in
Germany and France single beds are he
ul
rale. The latter plaa is more health
and comfortable. It is gradually coral
into use in this country. Single beds
volve• more linen, more work in maki
beds, and more srasfling, but I ne
knew a family to return to the old pl
after once giving single beds n fair -tri
Especially in summer is the single bed
be preferred, or even sleeping on t
floor, to two in- a bed. Many families
dare they never knew what comfort
during • thee aummer nights • until th
adopted the single beds. I might add
'word of protest againet allowing bab
or young children to sleep with old p
ple. The latter certainly draw upon t
vitality of the former. This ireprolaa
true as between any bedfellows one
whom is sickly or less strong than t
other. Consumption and other dies
have often been communicated frem o
bedfellow' to another.
An Antidote to Poison Ivy.
In additio.i to the aids of the druggis
lotion, nature is said to have provided
most efficent remedy for poison ivy p
seeing -in the shape of the widely spre d
flower known as "spotted touchmeno
or Impatiens fulva. It is also called t
"jewel weed" and'is abundant in the w
ter courses during June and July, wh
the Rhus toxicodendron and the Rhus
nenata are most poisonous. The color
the flower of "spotted touchmenot" Is
deep orange, and the spots are of a re
dish brown. The lip forms a sack n
much unlike the moccasin flower, and
ends in a curved spur. The seed po
burst if slightly touched and scatter ti
seeds all around. To this -peculiar pro
erty the plant owes Its common nem
It is also called "non me tangere" a
"rey toachez pas." The remedy is a
plied by expressing the juices of the pia
and applying it to the skin which h
been poisoned.

A CHIEF DISPAT
One Railroad Official;V•ho Has All
Work and No Ilay.
{ The chief train dispatchr "handles the
power," distributes the cas to the vari-
ous statioese decides what freight trains
shall be run and is in im4tedlate charge
of the countless details thit arise in the
operation of trains. The duties of the
superintendent and the tniinmaster keep
them. away from the office about half the
time, traveling up and own the line,
stopping Overnight at imp rtant stations
and terminals. The chle dispatcher is
always at headquarters an is the men of
details. He is assisted b a "trick dis-
patcher" for each dispat hing district
Like the sentinels at Glbr ltar, the three
trick dispatchers never le ve _their poet
unguarded. It may happen for a few,
Minutes sonae Sunday night that there is
not a train running, "not a wheel a-eurnin
on the division," as the men say, but
there sits the dispatcher, he ever ready
representative of the offici I staff, the in-
carnation of alert administ ation. Where
business is heavy and the -management is
progressive there is a night chief also,
who thus renders the position; of chief
dispatcher uninterrupted.
These chiefs work 12 ho rs each, as the
nervous tension is less t an that of a
trick dispatcher, who is "glued to the
train wire" his entire tou . In the eh,
sence of a night chief the details are look-
ed after by the trick dis etcher, whost0
work becomes much moite responsible.
The. chief in such a case usually comes
down after supper and naps out the
night work and sometimes reeks in later
with instructions on the tri4in wire, which
is "cut le." at his room.
The railroad man is seld m entirely out
of touch with his work. The -telegraph
sounder lulls the tired chief to rest and
wakes him in the morning. So trained Is
his ear that if wanted at night the dis-
patcher has to "sdund" t o private call
on the wire only a few t. es to elicit a
response from the sleep1iig chief. On
Sundays the chief is on hand most of the
day_ in obedience to the unwritten rall.
road commandment, "Six days shalt thou
labor, and the seventh cone down to the
office and catch up." In most occupa-
tions "all work and no- pl y makes Jack
a dull boy," but in rani° ding it makes
him a bright boy, so stimu ating and fas-
cinating is the excitement of the work.. •
Rise of the Mustache.
The custom of wearing mustaches did
not prevail in France unt 1 the reign of
Louis Philippe, when it becami obliges
tory in the whole French rray. IiEug.
land the mustache was wens by Vassar*
afterethe peace of 1815, end it w.# not
until the close of the Crimean war that
English civilians as welt as English sol-
diers in general wore hair ,on the Hp.
Shortly after the mustache came into
favor among gentlemen Horace Mayhew
was passing through an English country
town, and was immediately noted and
followed by a small army of children, who
pointed to his Hp and called out des
risively:
"He's got whiskers under his mut!
He's got whiskers under his snout!"
For a long time the mustache was the
subject of raillery, even after it was be.'
coming common, and the famous carica-
turist, Leech, printed in Punch a picture
of two old fashioned women who, when
they were spoken to by bearded railway,
guards, fell on their knees and cried outs
"Take all we have, gentlemen, but
spare our lives!"
A Difference.
"Sir," he said to the manager of the
store, "I want to warn. you against that
clerk at the ribbon. counter. I under-
stand he has a wife in the east and left
her on account of his bad habits, and 14s
character, sir, his character"—
The visitor became emphatic and ex-

groom were among the most Pepulnr or .

very essence of grace in all things. But
the man who had won her was 'lone of the '
most awkward sacimens of baninnity I

after such things had arranged for the -'
affair in the most popular chaech of the -

for 'the bride and a number of attendants
to approach the. altar from the front part
of the church, and 7:30 was the time ex-
actly eshen the meeting between bride
and bridegroom should take place at the
altar.

bride walked down the aisle toward the
altar with the attendants. They reached
the altar. It was 7:30 p. m., en the last- . I
tick :of the half hour. The bridegroom
was 'not there. All eyes turned to the
door through which be was to enter. But
it never opened, and the seconds seemed
to lengthen into centuries. It was -awful. `
The bride's face- flushed, and she was
rapidly weakening under the trying„wait.
' "Five minutes nearly had 'passed, when
the door was flung open and the embar-
rassed bridegroom entered.iis face, too,

was flushed, his hair was teaseled and
disarranged, his gloves and shirt front
were soiled, and, in fact, hei was literally
covered with cobwebs and dust. But be
