HOW MEN DIS IN BATTLE. War as Seen by a Private or an Ob servant Turn. In Frank AVilkeson's “Recollections of a Private in this chapter, which can not fail to bo of greater interest to the average reader than the war stories which are written from the standpoint of men who ■were not in the fight, or, being there, treat of the struggle in a general and tactical way: Almost every death on the battle-field is different. And the manner of the death de pends- on the wound and on the man, whether he is cowardly or brave, whether his vitality is large or small, Whether he is a man of active imagination or is dull of intellect, whether he is of nervous or sym pathetic temperament. I instance deaths aad wounds that I found in Grant's last campaign. On the second day of the battle of the Wilderness, when I fought as an infantrv 1 soldier, I saw more men killed and wounded than I ilid before or after the same time. I knew but few of the men in the regiment in whose ranks I stood, but I learned the Christian names of some of them. The man who stood next to me on my right was called Will. He was cool, brave and intelligent. In the morning when the second (Corps was advancing and driv ing Hill’s soldiers slowly back I was flurried. He noticed it, and steadied my nerves by saying kindly: “Don’t fire so fast. This fight will last all day. Don’t hurry. Cover your man before you pull your trigger. Take it easy, my bora, take it easy, aud your cartridges will 'last the longer.” This man fought effectively. During the day I had learned to look up to this excellent soldier, and lean on him. Toward evening, as we were being slowly driven back to the Brock roar! by Lengstreet’s men, we made a stand. I was behind a tree firing, with my rifle barrel resting on the stub of a limb. Will was standing by my side, but in the ' open. He. with a groan, doubled up and dropped on the ground at my feet. He looked up at me. His face was pale. He gasj)cd for hreath a few times and then said, faintly: “That ends me. lam shot through the bowels." I.said: “Crawl to the rear. We are not far from the intrenchments along the Brock road. ” I saw him sit up, and in distinctly saw him reach for his rifle, which had fallen from his hands as he fell. Again I spoke to him to go to the rear. He looked at me and said impatiently: ,“I tell you that lam as good as dead. There is no use in fooling with me. I sludi stay here.” Then he pitched forward, dead, shot again and through the head. We fell back before Longstreet’s soldiers and left Will lying in a windrow of dead men. When we got in the Brock road intrench ments a man a few files to my left dropped dead, shot just above the right eye. He did not groan or sigh or.make the slightest phy sical movement, except that his chest heaved a few times. The life went out of his face instantly, leaving it without a particle of expression. It was plastic, and, as the facial muscles contracted, it took many shapes. When this man’s body became cold, and his face hardened, it was horribly distorted, as though he had suffered intensely. Any person who had not seen him killed would have said that he endured supreme agon3 r before death released him. A few 'minutes after he fell another man, a little farther to the left, fell with apparently a precisely sirfiilar wound. He was straightened out and lived for over an horn-. He did not speak. Simply lay on his back, and his broad chest rose and 'fell, slowly at first, and then faster and faster, and more and more feebly until he was dead. And his face hardened and it was almost terrifying in its painful distortion. I have seen deajd soldiers’ faces which were wreathed in smiles, and heard their com rades say that they had died happy. Ido not believe that the face of a dead soldier, lying on a battlefield, ever truthfully indi cates the mental or physical anguish, or peacefulness of mind, which he suffered or enjoyed before his death. The face is plas tic after death, arid, as the facial muscles cool and contract, they draw the face into many shapes. Sometimes the dead smile, again they stare with glassy eyes and lolling tongues and dreadfully distorted visages at you. It goes for nothing. One death was as painless as the other. After Lbngstereet’s soldiers had driven the Second corps into then- iutrenchments along the Brock road, a battle-exhausted Infantryman stood behind a large oak tree. His back rested against it. He was very tired, and held his rifle loosely in his hand. The Confederates were directly in our front. This soldier was apparently in perfect safety. A solid shot from a Confederate gun struck the oak tree squarely about four feot from the ground, but it did hot have sufficient force to tear through the tough wood. The soldier fell dead. There was not a scratch on him. He was .killed by concussion. While we were fighting savagely over these intrenchments the woods in our front caught, fire, and I saw many of our wounded burn to death. Must they not have suf fered horribly! I um not at all sure of that. The smoke rolled heavily and slowly before the fire. It enveloped the wounded, and I think that by far the larger portion of the men who were roasted were suffocated before the flames curled round them. The spectacle was courage-sapping ''ana pitiful, and it appealed strongly to the imagination of the spectators, but I do not believe that the wounded soldiere, who were being burned, suffered greatly, if they suffered at all. Wounded soldiers, it mattered not how slight the wounds, generally hastened away from the battle lines. A wound entitled a man to go the rear and to a hospital. Of course, there were many exceptions to this rule, as there would necessarily bo in* battles where from 20,000 to 30,000 men are wounded. I frequently saw slightly wounded men who were marching with their colors. I ponsonally saw but two men wounded who continued to fight. During the flirt day’s fighting iu the Wilderness I saw a youth of übout 20 years skip and yell, stung bv ‘a bullet through the thigh. He turned to limp to the rear. After he had gone a few steps he stopped, then he kicked out his leg once or twice to see if it would work. Then he tore the clothing away from his leg so as to see the wound. He looked at.it attentively for an instant, then kicked out his leg again, then turned and took his place in the ranks, and resumed firing. There was considerable disorder in the line, and the soldiei's moved to and fro—now a few feet to the left, now a few feet to the right. One of these move ments brought me directly behind this wounded soldier. I could see plainly from that position, and I pushed into the gaping line and began firing, in a minute or two the wounded soldier dropped his rifle, and clasping his left min, exclaimed: “I am hit again!” He sat down behind the battle ranks and tore off the sleeve of his shirt, nie wound was very slight—not much more than skin dorp. He tied his handkerchief around it, picked up his rifle, and took posi tion alongside of me. t said: “You are fighting in bad luck to-day. You had I letter Ret, away from here.” He turned his head •> answer me. His head jerked, he stag gered, then fell, then regained his feet. A tinv fountain of blood and teeth and bone and bits of tongue buret out of his mouth. He had been shot through the jaws; the lower one was broken and hung down. 1 looked directly into his oj>on mouth, which was ragged and bloody and tongueless. He cart his rtfle furiously on tho ground and staggered off. The next day, just before Longrtreet’s toldleft made their flint charge on tin Sec ond corps, I heard the peculiar cry a stricken man utters as tho bullet tears through his flesh, i turned my head ns 1 loaded my nfie, to soe who was hit. 1 Haw a bearded Irishman pull up his shirt. Ho Im/l been wounded in the left side, just below tliefloat lng rib*. His face was gray with fear. The wojmd looked as though it was mortal. He looked at it for an instant, and then poked *t gently with his index finger He flushed tcdjy, and siuiieil with satisfaction. Ho tucked his shirt into his trousers, and was fighting in the ranks again i**iorc 1 hud capped my rifle. The bail had cut a groove m his skin only. The oley of the Irishman's wa so oxuresai ve.' his emouonx cUajiged so quickly, that I could not keep from laughing. IVear Spottsylvania I saw, as my battery was moving into action, a group of wounded men lying in the shade cast by some large oak trees. All of these men’s faces were gray. They silently looked at us as we marched past them. One wounded man, a blonde giant of about 10 years, was smoking a brier-wood pipe. He had a firm grip on the pipe stem. I asked him what he was doing. “Haying my last smoke, young fel low, ’he replied. His dauntless blue eyes met mine, and he bravely tried to smile. I saw that he was dying fast. Wounded soldiers almost always tore their clothing away from their wounds, so as to see them and judge of their character. -Many of them would smile, aud their faces w ould brighten as they realized that they were not hard hit and" that they coiild go home for a few months. Others would give a quick glance at their wounds, and then shrink back as from a blow, aud turn pule, as they realized the truth that they were mortally wounded. The enlisted men were exceedingly accurate judges of the probable result which would ensue from any wound they saw. They hail seen hundreds of solders wounded, and they had noticed that certain wounds always re sulted fatal. They knew when they were fatally wounded, and after the shock of dis covery had passed, they generally lanced themselves and died in a manly manner. It was seldom that an American or Irish vol unteer flunked in the presence of death. RARE OLD DOCUMENTS. Diaries of George Washington and Al manacs of Jefferson. W ashington Correspondence Cleveland Leader. Many of the most interesting possessions of our government are never seen by the stranger. The great departments of Wash ington are packed full of curious autograph papers and rare documents. The Treasury has files enough to carpet any State of the Union, and the State Department has im poi-tant autograph letter describing tho in side history of every event which has taken place during the past 100 years. It has diaries of George Washington, almanacs of Thomas Jefferson with marginal notes, and it contains, I am told, letters which if pub lished would not leave the characters of some of our heroes of the past as high on the scale of morality as they now stand. The War Deparment has all the telegrams sent from the White House during the late war, and in a book of these I found the other day some curious messages which Abraham Lincoln sent, in which he mentions his boy Tad. It has all of the papers of the Confed erate government as they were captured at Richmond, and these gathered together in one room makes up the picture of a dead nution in a nutshell. The Pension Office has many a curious memento which has crept in among the papers. They are claims for gov ernment land signed by A. Lincoln, Jeffer son Davis, Ulysses S. Grant and John A. Logan, for services in the Mexican war, and I came across here a paper which showed James G. Blaine’s great-grandmother got a pension for the services of her husband in 1812. There are diaries here of soldiers of the revolution, sent by their decendants to prove that they were in the army, and there are bushels of family Bibles which have served the same purpose packed away, but ready to be sent out to their owners if de manded. The Treasury contains much unwritten history in the Pickett papers which Con gress paid about $75,000 for, because they contained information which aided in estab lishing the loyalty or disloyalty of certain claims made upon the government during the late war, and its early revenue files are full of interest ’ In the first records of the Supreme Court you may see the books which have the sig natures of Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamil ton, and others of the great lawyers of the past, made when they were here first admit ted to practice. The first record of admis sion is kept in a great vault, and its auto graphs make it worth its weight in gold. I nad the clerk to show it to me one day. It is a very ordinary-looking blank book a foot and a half long and Six inches wide. Its cov ers are rusty with many years, and its parchment-bound corners have been eaten through by time. On its back is a red label, and here is read: “The Supreme Court of the United States.” Opening it, the paper is rough and unruled, and its quality is poorer than that now used as wrapping sheets in a corner grocery. It has been dis colored by the faaed pink blotters which lie between its leaves, and, its ink has paled. This book is within three years of 100 years old. It was begun in 17(0, and I noted that for the first twenty years of the Supreme Court's existence it'had but little work to do. They are no admissions to its bar recorded during, the first year, and the first two lawyers that practiced before it are John Caldwell and Benjamin R. Mor gan, who were admitted in 1791. Two pages of the record contain the names of ail the lawyers who practiced before the court for twenty-six years, or until 1810, and I note that Alexander Hamilton, one of the most noted lawyer of his time, did not see fit to apply for entrance to it before 1822. Allen G. Thurman’s name is read on the 35th page; and after this time the admissions multiply aud soon fill volumes instead of pages. The Supreme Court work has sprung from noth ing into the busiest and best-paying practice in the country, and its lawyers often re ceive fees which rot into the tens of thou- sands. More interesting than all else, however, as far aa original papers are concerned, are the file-rooms of Congress. The House of Representatives has the original documents of all the papers connected with its history. It has every bill that has ever been intro duced, every petition that has ever been presented, every message that a President has ever sent, and the original reports of the Cabinet Ministers hick to the days when Washington was President and Alexander Hamilton managed the Treasury. It it impos sible to conceive the extent of these jjapers. They fill thousands of bound manuscript volumes, and the brain reels in the attempt ed comprehension of the matter contained in them, The only man in the United States who has any adequate idea of them is the Hon, Kerris Finch, the fllo clerk of tho House, who has had charge of them fora generation, and who has brought them into order out of choas. They are now so ar ranged that at a moment's notice uny pajier can be found, and as I walked through room .after room walled with them to-day I could see that tho completed classification hail been made. I climbed story after story of narrow iron stairs surrounded hv thoso deail bones of past administration,and finally away up under the dome of the capital building, where the light comes in only through a glass-covered hole in tho roof, I found myself carried back to the earliest flays of our government. All around me, iu ledger-like volumes, lay the messages of the earner Presidents, and every look l o]x>ned brought to my eyes something new and rare in antiquarian his tory. Many of th messages .were in tho handwriting of the President who signed them, and the reports of the Secretaries were often made in tho same way. I stum bled across the papers in which Jefferson announced to Congress that he would send written messages to them, and would not come in person to deliver speeches, as his predecessors had done. Anil 1 found tho written instructions, probably kept secret when they were issued, on which in our war with the Barbary piiwere the American navel officers were instructed to pay $ 10,000 and $30,000 to secure immunity lor Ameri can commerce from tneir piratical ships. I saw many messages of John Adams iu his bold up-and-down hand, as pompous in pen and iiiK as their writer was in jierson, nod as 1 read them i recalled Adams’ vanity, and the remark he made when a friend said: “Mr. Adams, you and Gen. WhashUiton did well.” With a straightening up of his little fat form and ft throwing liack of his semi-bald head, he replied: •'Beg your pardon, sir: you should not say George W ashington ana Jiitui Adam, hut John Adams anil George Washington, for John Adams made George Washington." 1 saw alow the autograph copy of the THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, MAY 22, 1887-TWELVE PAGES. speech of the son of John Adams, the great John Quincy Adams, in which he welcomed j Kossuth to the United States, and I read i message after message penned by Madison and Monroe. There was not so much ceremony in the writing of State papers then. Parchment was not used, and the rought, unruled wrapping psper-like material is of all shapes and sizes. In a book containing the messages of John Adams I across an autograph letters of Martha Washington, sent to Adams shortly after her husband’s death and sub mitted by Adams to Congress. It relates to the proposed removal of Washington’s re mains from Mount Vernon to the national capitol. aud as I read the trembling liiftvs I could almost see the widow of the first Presi dent seated in her little attic room at Mount Vernon, to which she retired after his death with only a cat, it is said, for company. She kept her room, you know, for months, and refused to bo comforted, and it was here she wrote this letter. It is dated Jan. 81, 1709, the year in which Washington died. On its back there is aunote saying it was sent to Congress with the message of the President on Jan. 8, 1800. The paper is of the size of the largest fashionable note-paper of to-day. Its edges are yellow aud its color has been faded by its eighty-seven years of age. It is torn at the top, and Mr. Finch tells me it was once stolen and afterward returned as mysteriously as it was taken away. The writing is plain and the words are so well -spelled that it is fair to supposed that Tobias Lear, Washington's private secretary, cor rected the first draft of the letter, and that Martha copied it before it was sent. It reads: “Mount Vernon, Dec. 31., 1799. Sir: While 1 feel with keenest anguish the late dispensation of Divine Providence. I can not be insensible to the mournful tributes of respect and veneration which are paid to the memory of my dear deceased husband; and as his best services and most anxious wishes were always devoted to tho welfare and happiness of his country, to know that they were fully appreciated and gratefully remembered affords no inconsiderable con solation. “Taught by the great example which I have long had before me, never to oppose my private wishes to the public will, I must consent to the request made by Con gress, which you have had the goodnes to transmit to me; and in doing this I need not. I can not saj-, what a sacrifice of individual feeling I make to a sense of duty. “With grateful acknowledgement and unfeigned thanks for the personal repect and evidences of condolence expressed by Con gress and yourself, I remain, very repect fully, sir, your most obedient and humble servant, Martha Washington.” The journals of all the Congresses are here, and I looked with interest over the first journals of the House of Representa tives—a big, thick ledger, 14 inches wide and 24 inches long. It was begun in 1789, and the heavy calf in which it is bound is worn through at the edges, and the red canvas cover which is over this is frayed and torn with the rubbing of more than three generations of fingers. The writing, however, is as plain now as when it was first penned, and this clerk of the House of Rep resentatives of ninty-seven years ago was not a bad scribe. He took pride in his work, and the first page is decorated as those done by one of those artist monks of the middle ages who made the illuminated Bibles of antiquity. It has the fineness of an elabo rate copper-plate engraveing, and this deco ration is kept up during the session of the First Congress. As the years go on the careful writing dies out, and after a few Congresses all that is aimed at is legibility. The newness has worn off, and the clerk evidently wants to finish his work as soon as possible. In a room at the right of the one in which I looked at the above papers, there is another packed with more of these old papers and valuable autographs. Here is the full testimony taken before the Committee .on the Conduct of the War, and down below I was shown thousands of files of war claims which have been presented to Congress. The testimony before the committees in im portant cases is kept here, and when it is re membered that one class of these war claims brought in more than 22,000 claimants, and the amount asked for was more than $60,- 000,000, somewhat of the extent of this class of the records may be seen. Many of these documents are confidential, and there is a third room, which looks like the cell of a prison, which is devoted to these. Tho collection includes confidential messages to the Congresses of the past, and like much of the other matter, it is full of unwrittin history. None of these papers are overseen by strangers. They are hidden away in looms off of tho corridors of the capitol and are watched as carefully as the surplus of the Treasury. It is well that it is so, for an autograph theft could easily ruin many valuable papers, and in such' a mass the theft might not lie detected for years after its commission. A Half Million Discrepancy. From the Albany (6t0.) A'eice and Advertiser.. One of the most startling announcements that can oossibly bo received by an agent, responsible for the disbursement of a fund, is the official statement that there is a large unexplained discrepancy in his accounts. Tho discomfit is measured by the ability to explain it away when conscious rectitude tempers the annoyance that one must ex perience, but still, with the knowledge that every eent has been honestly accounted for, uneasiness and unrest broods over tho mind. Capt. R. Hobbs, of this city, after he hap pened to the misfortune of losing his arm on the battlefield during the late war, was appointed purchasing agent in this territory for the Army of Virginia. Under the Confederate, law, prohibiting the planting of more than three acres or cotton, large areas of corn were cul tivated in the South, and hogs and cattle were raised and slaughtered in great numbers. No marauding band of Yankee soldiers penetrated this rich belt, and it was the granary and meat house of the Confederacy. For the last two years of the war's duration a constant ami steady supply of provisions for the Confederate army flowed from this laud of plenty. The ageiits of the Confederacy, with tireless en ergy, scoured the country collecting the grain and meat that sustained tho strength of the fighting force. Capt. Hobbs, as purchasing agent, paid out monthly vast sums of Confederate money, and sent in regularly his accounts to be audited. On one occasion he was sur prised and greatly •disturbed in mind at receiving a telegram from tho auditor say ing: “There is n discrepancy of half a million dollars in your account Come at once." With all possible haste lie made prepara tions to answer the urgent call of his su perior. thinking the while how such an error could have crept in. Ho hastily examined his records, balanced his cash, and being ttn ablo to discover anything wrong, was the more greatly perplexed. He took his departure for headquarters with fore’nodings of iximing evil, but sus tained and comforted with tiie conscious ness of honest dealings. Arriving at the Auditor’s office he hastily sought an expla nation, and was overcome with a sense of relief when told that the discrepancy was in Ins favor, but that they wanted him to ac count for it if possible. It liad never once occurred to him that the error could possi bly be,iu his favor. Corn paring the Audi tor's record with the transcript of his books, the < 'apt tin s'lon discovered that he had I wen credit.'ll by two bushels of com for every sack received when, in fact, tho sacks weighed only 96 pounds. Tho explanation was easy and satisfactory. That will give our readers some idea of the magnitude of tho undertaking to fix'd the Confixlerate army. What an immense quantity of com it would require, at an error of a peek to the sack, to make $500,000 even at Confederate prices! * * * * Dedujc of man or woman, practice*, "flflHjjHKl radically cured.

From the Philadelphia, yews. Frank I. Frayne tells a good story about his Jersey farm and his ferocious lion. “I keep my lion aud hyenas on the farm and it’s very funny,” he said. “While they are there the other fanners keep their doors and windows locked, and never go out un less armed with a shotgun. “My lion Is very ferocious and requires great care. I call him‘Col. Ingersoll,’ be cause the Colonel once told mo that I was committing a sin against nature in keeping that beautiful animal caged up when he ought to be in a jungle. “Bv the way, that lion has a history. He has killed two men and he carried a bullet in his nose beneath his right eye, which he received in Cuba. He belonged to Orrin Bros.’ circus and they were showing in Cuba. A Cuban who was attending him tied the lion up to the grating and went inside the cage. The powerful animal broke loose and sprang on the man and Killed him. They had a dreadful time to got the body out of the cage. “They put a hump on the animal’s back pounding him with iron bars, but. it had no effect, and finally a relative of the dead man shot the lion in the nose with a ball from a 45 calibre revolver. That stunned him, and they got the body out and buried it. The lion caused the death of his second victim in Mexico. The animal was with Sells Bros’ circus. A man got too near the cage and the lion seized his arm and actually pulled it out of the shoulder socket. Tho victim diod in a few minutes. “The most thrilling experience that I had witn him was at tho beginning of this sea son. We were billed to plnv in Cumberland, Md. Tho theatre was in tho second story and wc got a crowd of negroes to carry the cage up-stairs and put it on the stage. They did so, and then nearly every negro in the town came in to see tho lion. The cage was out of repair, and I had a blacksmith fixing it. He took off a lot of the outside bars and took them to his shop, when ‘Frank,’ one of my young men, went to let the lion into the outside cage for water not knowing that some of the bars were off. The consequence was that the lion walked out onto the stage and started down towards the negroes. There was never a hall cleared as quickly as that ono was. In an instant not a negro was seen. ‘Frank’ mounted to the top of the cage, and from there he climbed up into the Hies. Then the lion had full possession of the theatre, and was trotting around among the seats. “I ran up to the hall and called fora lot. of negroes in the street to come and help me cage the beast, but it was no go. A cart load of gold wouldn't have persuaded them. I went into the hall and mounted the stage. ‘Frank’ was still up in the flies and when I told him to come down and get me the lion's meat he said he preferred to stay where he was. I got the meat myself and the lion watched every movement I made. I opened the cage door and then stood outside and waved the meat. In a moment the beast came for me with a roar. It was life or death, but I had to take the chances. As he bounded on the stage I rushed in the cage. He was right at iny heels and as I threw the meat into one comer of the cage, it diverted his attention and he bounded on it. Before he could turn on me I slipped out and shut the door and had hint safely caged. Then ‘Frank’ came down from the flies and in less than five minutes the hall was again filled with anxious negroes. “Do my hyenas ever fight? Well, they would, and savagely, too, if they got to gether. because they are very jealous of each other, but we take care to keep them apart. Once they got into the Hame cage and began a deadly combat, but I ended the fight by turning a hose on them. Oue of them is striped aud the othei- is spotted, and you know they are born enenjiss. The spotted one is tame and is of the species known as the laughing hyena. The striped hyena is untamable and is very ferocious. My two bears are simply pets, and wouldn’t hurt anything. My three dogs are very jealous, as much so as opera singers and Italian dancers. They are continually trying to outdo one another. lam fond of animals and have a great collection of them on my farm.” THE TENTH OF $50,000. How a Colored Boy Became Rich, and the Effect His Wealth Has Had- Upon Him—One Dollar in the Louisiana State Lottery. Of course a majority of our citizens are opposed to gambling, but there is considera ble pleasure when you try it to know that you are going to play a game that is fair. Clifford J. Tweedy, the colored boy who was the lucky holder of the one-tenth of ticket 23,899 —the second capital prize of $50,000 — received about a week ago his one-tenth, or $5,000, and our readers would perhaps like to know something of this colored boy’s life, and how he won the prize, and what he has done and intends doing with his money. Clifford is a likely colored boy, about 21 or 22 years of ago anil was raised by Mr. Henry T. Peay, with whom he has been for tho past sixteen years. At the time of his draw ing the SS,(XX) he was in the employ of Mr. Peay, getting $8 per month. Ho has re tained nis position with Mr. Peay, and does his work as faithfully as over. After receiving his $5,000 he deposited $4,- 000 in the Georgia Railroad Bank and took SI,OOO and divided a portion of it amongst his poor colored relations. Be it to his credit, too, he did not forget his employer, Mr. Peay, to whom he gave a present of SSO. He says with the $4,000 that he has de posited in the Georgia railroad ho intends to buy Augusta’s real estate, another sign that he has a level head. In answer to the ques tion how much he had invested before wrn ning, he replied that bo had bought a ticket regularly every month for° tl*; last fifteen months, and it was the fifteenth dollar that did the work.— Augusta {(la.)
