Sliarldau's Orderly.
Regarding Sheridan's orderly, who
was with the General on that memor-
able 19th of October, 18G4, 1 wish to
state what 1 saw of Oeneal Sheridan's
first appearance, and his orderly. I
have always claimed only one man
h Sheridan, when he came to
General R. B. Hayes* Brigade, his in
fantry being tho extreme left of tin
army, and up to the Valley Pike, artil-
lery and cavalry being on the left of
the pike. 1 was at that time orderly
for General Rutherford B. Hayt
At the time of General Sheridan's ap- !
pearance, General George Crook, com-
manding the Army of West Virginia,
was lying on the ground with General
Duval and R. B. Hayes; they were talk-
ing, and It pertained to a movement on
the enemy. I was lying down near
them, as was also ray comrade, Edgar
D. Shank, of the Thirteenth West Vir-
ginia, who as also orderly for Gen-
eral R. B. Hayes. He was lying on the
left side of me. I had been listening
lo the conversation of the Generals,
when suddenly Ed spoke, saying
"There cornea Sheridan!" and looking
eastward toward the Valley Pike, a
barn being near the pike, Sheridan
turned from the pike, and rodo direct
to our headquarter Hag. He reined
up, dismounted from his black horse,
flecked with foam, tossed the rein,
turned to General ('rook and asked if
the lines were closed. General Crook
replied in the affirmative, "and ready
for an advance." Now aB to the order-
ly who accompanied him, he was in the
rear of Sheridan from l.r 0 to 200 feel.
I raised up and took hold of the bridle
of his black horse At the same time
Edward Shank took hold of the oppo-
site side, and In a few momenta Sheri-
dan's orderly was up, dismounted and
•ook charge of his General's horse.
Sheridan commenced conversing with
General Crook. What I heard was:
"The two batteries on the left of the
pike to be supported by Hayes' Bri-
gade." In a few minutes Sheridan
moved westward along the line and his
orderly with him. 1 was soon carry-
ing orders to colonels in command 1

under the title of "Little Phil." "Now
the truth Ih," says Sheridan, I rode
down the line with Tony Forsyth; that
was all there was to It; no escort ex
< ept Forsyth." 1 have In my possession
a reply to a letter written to Major-
General George Crook at Chicago, Jan-
uary 9, 1890, of Sheridan's first ap-
pearance and his orderly (and other
points). General Crook says "In re-
ply to your favor of the Gth Inst I have
to say that your recollections of Gen-
eral Sheridan's first appearance on tho
battle of Cedar Creek, as given therein
agree with my recollections of that oc-
casion." To prove the veracity of my
matement. that I was orderly for Gen-
eral R. B. Hayes, I refer you to Lieut.

Shot Ilia Ky«« Out.
There is a somewhat remarkable old
soldier at feuda, and he Is probably the
last of the old soldiers who had both
fyes shot out during the war, to sur-
vive. He is Second Lieutenant T J.
Lock wood, of Company C, Ninety-
third Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and
he had both eyes shot out at the bat
tie of Champion Hill, May iti. 18M, the
ball entering at the left side, shatter-
ing th bone, throwing ou' the left eye
ball, pausing through the bridge of the
nose, and bursting the right eye-
ball. He lay on the ground ten
days; was then two days making the
trip to the rear of Vlcksburg In an ox
cart with a rebel negro for driver.
Twslve wounded ni *n were in ihe cart
I uhen It started, but, being disgusted
w ith the drjvlng and progress all
abandoned it except Lieutenant Lock-
wood. who was perfectly helpless to do
so. He has a good war record. But
after all his hardships and experiences
he is still much better than a dead man.
at C9, being hale and hearty, weighing
17r> pounds. He is a prominent, pro-
gressive. wealthy citizen, being fore-
most Iti public works and enterprise.
He runs a clothing store and in his
large brick block has an opera house.
He Is familiar with the town and goes
about unassisted. He arranged for
the first reunion of the Ninety-third,
Which was held In Buda in 1883. He
secured subscriptions to defray ex-
penses and helped superintend all the
arrangements, and has attended all re-
unions held since.
A Veteran'* Story.
One year ago, says C. C. McCabe, I
was sitting In a Kansas conference.
The bishop was calling the roll of the
retired preachers (those not In active
service). He reached the name of Al-
ien Buckner. The veteran stood up.
He innde a brief address to the con-
ference, and closed by saying: "I am
now a wounded soldier and a super-
annuated preacher." I happened to
know his army record, and said, "Bish-
op Mallalieu, that man led the assaulil
up Missionary Ridge thirty years ago,"!
"Did he?" said the bishop, "give
me your hand."
The whole conference arose. Tears
fell like rain. Somebody struck up,
"My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty."
The whole congregation pressed for-
ward to grasp tho veteran officer by
tho hand, who, thirty years ago. amid
a rain of bullets and the bursting of
shell, far up among the rocks of Mis-
sionary Ridge, had shouted to his sold-
iers: "Come on. boys! Come on!" That
was the most desperate deed of the war.
Grant, who was present, and looking
on, said to Sherman. "Did you order
that charge?" "No," said Sheridan,
"they are doing it themselves." There
are orders that go straight to the
hearts of men unheard by mortal ears.
Some day under Divine orders, the
church of Jesus Christ will move out
to take tho world. Get ready for it!
Law* of War.
The "laws of war" as at present for-
mulated by the civilized nations, for-

Doulilft Quick.
An ancient resident of Wlllowby.
whose conduct In one of the battles of
the civil war had brought him under
suspicion of cowardice, was naturally
Indisposed to admit that he had played
any but a manly part.
I didn't run away and stay till 'twas
all over, no such thing," he always af
firmed. "I retreated In good order, that
was all. 'Twos a time for retreating.
If ever there was one. and accordingly
I used my Judgment and retreated.
This statement was regarded as more
or less satisfactory up to the day when
a military gentleman came to visit a
cousin In Wlllowby. and in the course
of a conversation held at the village
store one evening heard the oft-repeat-
ed explanation.
"Well, my friend," he said, looking
rlcadily at the hero of the retreat, ' you
say you retreated In good order, but I
should like to ask one thing About
how fast did you go?"
"Well." said the other man. surprised

an in my district who said that her hus-
band had an attack of 'ammonia on the
lungs.' "
"It was a man who told me the other
day that he had been taking epidemic
Injections,' " said a third.
"Wonder If he found them helpful
