"I can ten him to-day aa plainly as
l I saw him then—a well proportioned
man over six foot tall, flgiiru as
i straight as an arrow, calm and collect-
j ed always, yet with an oyo that would
occasionally reveal In a flash the met-
; llesonie spirit within.
"Any one who ever saw Gen. Hook-
er on Ills white charger can readily ap-
preciate the fitness of giving blm an
equestrian statue. He sat his mount
{ Ilk* a centaur of old. I have seen
some good rider* In my day, but never
! on* who looked more at home In the
aaddle than he.
j "Everybody ha* heard of Gen. Hook-
l *r' old wUU.0 hors'i It was the won-
| der of all the troops why he rode such
a conspicuous animal.
"Every time the general went Into
action, lot* of us trembled for his
< safety, because we knew that the
| rebels were perfectly aware that he
! rode a white horse. Why he was never
killed Is a mystery, for he never had
I much regard for his personal safety
I during an engagement.
I "It was I who sold him that famous
' old nag. The animal made his en-
' trance Into the army through the
1 quartermaster of the Second New
I Hampshire regiment. The quarter-
I master found It Impossible to mate tho
I beast with any horses on hand and
! was at a loss to know what to do
with blm.
"I happened to bo in need of a
horse at that time and bought the lone
white beast, which at that lime had
[ never been saddle-broken. Ono day
the general saw me riding the animal.
"I remember once of bearing him
| tell about the trouble he had to get
j his services accepted at the outbreak
! of the civil war. When hostilities began
he was iu California. He hurried to
Washington and called on the Presi-
dent, who received him kindly, but
put him oft with an indefinite answer.
As near as I remember these are the
words he used In telling the balance
of the story:
" 'I went bacit to the hotel and wait-
ed. The days wetit by. New troops
came Into the city and went away, new
men came and received commissions—
many of them men who had never seen
service, while I, a West Point gradu-
ate and a man of considerable active
service, was kept on the waiting list—
waiting for a chance to place my
trained services at my country's dis-
posal.
" 'Finally I grew sick of waiting.
Battles were being fought and won—
or lost—and I was shelved complete-
ly. I made up my mind to return to
California, since there seemed to be
no show for me in the army, and be-
fore I went I would call on the Presi-
dent.
" 'Mr. Lincoln received me kindly,
as before, and seemed surprised that I
was going back to California. "Don't
be Impatient, colonel," said he. "We
will find something for you later."
" 'But I couldn't take much stock in
that after being kept waiting so
long, and I made up my mind to tell
Mr. Lincoln a thing or two.
" 'I have been over to the Bull Run
battlefield. Mr. Lincoln,' said I. 'and I
feel bound to tell you one thing; 1
know I am a damned sight better gen-
enti than the man you had on that
field.
" 'A day or two later I got my com-
mission as brigadier general.'
"General Hooker was a modest
man in a sense, and yet he had a good
appreciation of his own ability.
"There Is one point I particularly
want to express myself on through
the columns of the Boston Journal.
Stories have circulated in effect that
Gen. Hooker was a drinking man. Like
most other people he occasionally took
a drink, but never when going into
action. It has been said that he was
under the influence of liquor at the
battle of Chancellorsville. That was a
malicious falsehood. I knew two offic-
ers on Gen. Hooker'* private staff dur-
ing that battle. CoL Candler and Major
Lawrence. Both of those gentlemen
are now dead, but years ago thev as-
sured me that Gen. Hooker did not
touch a drop of liquor that day."

I answered.

" 'Help yourself, young man.' said
Ilia general, waving hi* band toward
the wagon.
" 'But. general.' I protested, i could
not lift one of those things, lot alona
use It.'
There was a twinkle In the ganer-
al'a eye as bo aniwered. 'Ah, wall,'
he said. 'It Is a race of puny men nowa-
days. Those were moro toys for tha
Mexican veterans. Well, young man,
you shall go to Washington and buy
you a *word. a pretty one with a
leather *cabbard.'
Now his manner of saying tbl* waa
so delicious that offense was Impo*-
slblc. He knew I was young and
wanted a bright, showy aword. and he
thought he would glvo me an object
lesson in the atylo of arm used by the
troopers of the Mexican war.
"The general was a* kind hearted
as a woman. I remember that dur-
ing the second battle of Bull Run
Hooker's old brigade waa sent agalnat
a fortified position that should not
have been attacked by anything leas
than a whole division. Tho brigade
sustained terrible slaughter—the loss
was simply appalling.
"The remnant straggled back uf.
reformed. It waa a heartrending sight
—enough to make the spectators weep.
Icdeed, tho men themselvs could not
restrain their tears. Such awful slaugh-
ter—such unnecessary decimation haa
seldom been the experience of any
troops.
"As the men Btood In line after the
engagement, down came Gen. Hooker.
When the boys caught sight of blm
a mighty Bhout went up.
'Uncle Joe!' they crlcd, 'Uncle
Joe!'
"1 have never heard another such
cry. It was a mixture of pathos and
pain and affection. It waa the cry
of a sick boy to his father, the wall of
a lad sob-choked with grief and dea-
pair.
"With the rush of an avalanche, the
men broko ranks and swept down on
the general. They crowded about blm

seeking to so much as touch his boots
with the tips of their fingers, murmur-
ing all the time, 'Oh, Uncle Joe, Uncle
Joe.'
"Gen. Hooker was deeply moved.
He made several attempts to speak
and choked. 'My poor boys,' he at
last said, 'my poor boys, my heart
bleeds for you. It was not I who sent
you on that awful errand.'
"Right well they knew that without
his telling them. He was too good a
soldier and had too big a heart."

Thinks Marriage License a Failure.
A young and impetuous lover in At-
lanta, Ga.. recently decided to get mar-
ried. He took out a license for him-
self and a girl whom he thought would
make a good wife. Then he went to
consult her about it He produced the
license and served It on her as a sort
of warrant, mandamus or other potent
legal document. She said she did not
want to marry. Her father agreed with
her and. held a gun on him, giving him
hia choice of the contents of the gun
or a' horsewhipping from the young
woman. He took the latter and he-
gards the marriage license aa a failure.
