e to charge them rent? His title to the land is perfect; but once, on going to see his place, he tells me, he received a notice to return the way he came, unless he wished to see strange sights. This message broolied no fencing; and he rode away that night, leaving his protest with some district judge. An agent whom he afterwards sent out was shot. It is a good thing, says my friend, to have a fine cattle-run, but a man who owns a good cattlerun on the upper Brazos, ought to live out West, and keep things square. What do you think of us now? asks a citizen of Galveston county. You seem to have a big estate-wood, water, grass. Grass is a cuss. You see these fields near the creek: they're under cotton. Cotton is king. You think we might have meat and milk? We might; but then who cares to throw away his chance? No man ever got rich on meat and milk. Dollars are what we want; dollars from St. Louis and Chicago; dollars from Boston and New York; and neither St.

ached the town, I charged through at the head of three squadrons of cavalry, only to drive a pitiful twenty of the enemy's cavalry out. We arrived at twelve o'clock at noon. While making an examination of the roads, I came upon General McClellan and his whole staff, native and foreign. It appeared that my advance had been to clear the way for his military examination of the country, and the disposal of his forces for the grand oncoming movement. General McClellan having been my classmate at West Point, we had a pleasant and familiar conversation for an hour or more. After returning to the town it was determined to occupy and hold Charlestown; so I was ordered to send back for my knapsacks, wagons, and the company property. Regarding our regiment approvingly as he passed (so some of our young officers thought), General McClellan rode rapidly to Harper's Ferry and thence by special train to Washington. From some words dropped at this interview, while looking over his maps, I was

erhaps I will write to the general. Rawlins is getting well. Dr. Green, in New York, says nothing is the matter with his lungs. His throat only was in trouble, according to Dr. Green, and after some weeks of cutting and caustics the throat is pronounced cured. He goes back to duty next week. I have just heard from New York of the burning of my library. It was insured, but the money can't replace the books. At the conclusion of the first Valley campaign I was promoted and ordered West, and on the way to my new field of duty I spent a day with Dana at Washington, arranging for his co-operation in supplying me with such remounts, equipments, and improved fire-arms as might be needed. It was through his assistance that I had a few weeks before been enabled to completely rearm the Third Cavalry Division with the Spencer repeating magazine carbine, and thus to give it the distinction of being the first division of troops in the world to carry a full supply of such arms.

never again undertake such another. It was one of those things that have to be done once, to learn not to do it again. My only reading between Columbus and Pittsburgh is to be here in Zanesville, a town as black as Acheron, and where one might expect to see the river Styx. Later. I had a nice audience and a pleasant reading here, and to-day we go on to Pittsburgh, where I read to-morrow night. I met the other day at Dayton a woman who now has grandchildren; but who, when I first came West, was a gay rattling girl. She was one of the first converts of brother George's seemingly obscure ministry in the little new town of Chillicothe. Now she has one son who is a judge of the supreme court, and another in business. Both she and they are not only Christians, but Christians of the primitive sort, whose religion is their all; who triumph and glory in tribulation, knowing that it worketh patience. She told me, with a bright sweet calm, of her husband killed in battle the first ye

Baker's body was brought across the Potomac the evening he fell. It rested all day, and then by ambulance was conveyed to Washington, and carried through the same hospitable doorway of his friend Colonel Webb, from whose steps we had parted with him as he mounted his horse and gave us his warm, earnest hand only two mornings before! Oh, how radiant was his face! how athletic and symmetrical his form! how unsullied his ambition! how pure his devotion to God and country!

I saw a movement, I heard a blow, and the blood spattered surrounders slightly. In less time than such enterprises usually require, the stranger had fallen heavily on the marble floor, striking his head against an iron column, and remaining in a condition which rendered it desirable to have his friends look after him, if he had any.
