r any threat of one, since that experiment was begun. It has served to tide over the time during which the young men, who had from earliest childhood listened to stories of the Custer massacre and other great Indian achievements, were undergoing transformation from the life and character of savage warriors to those of civilized husbandmen, under the system of allotments in severalty. When the short warlike part of the life of one generation is past, the danger will no longer exist. In June, 1891, at Keokuk, Iowa, I married Miss Georgia Kilbourne, daughter of Mrs. George E. Kilbourne of that city. Then a host of old soldiers of the Union army reassembled to greet their comrade. In 1892 this country seemed on the verge of war with the little republic of Chile. So confident were some officials of the administration that war was inevitable, that I was asked to make an estimate of the military force which would be necessary to occupy and hold a vital point in Chilean territory un

army's capital, as he calls it, of long service and experience, by forming new regiments instead of filling up the old ones. It is difficult to speak with patience, he says, of this wretched business. In this respect he thinks that the Federal army of the West, under Sherman, had immensely the advantage, through the wiser and more military policy which the Western States generally adopted in the matter of recruiting their contingents. The War as we see it now, in Scribner's Magazine, June, 1891, pp. 784, 785. The Union army, says an able Massachusetts colonel, was probably the only army in modern civilized warfare which as a rule was recruited by the addition of new regiments instead of by filling up the old organizations. History 21st Mass., by Charles F. Walcott, p. 221. So the Comte de Paris says: In order to procure a rapid supply of men it was necessary constantly to create new regiments. These regiments brought with them all the inexperience which had cost so dear t

Capture and burning of the Federal gunboat Underwriter, in the Neuse, off Newbern, N. C., in February, 1864. by Dr. Daniel B. Conrad, formerly of U. S. And C. S. Navy. Kansas city, Mo., June, 1891. In January, 1864, the Confederate naval officers on duty in Richmond, Wilmington and Charleston were aroused by a telegram from the Navy Department to detail three boats' crews of picked men and officers, who were to be fully armed, equipped and rationed for six days; they were to start at once by rail for Weldon, North Carolina, reporting on arrival to Commander J. Taylor Wood, who would give further instructions. So perfectly secret and well-guarded was our destination that not until we had all arrived at Kingston, North Carolina, by various railroads, did we have the slightest idea of where we were going or what was the object of the naval raid.
