In December, 1864, when Kel

“Is that you, Capt. Kellogg?”
Looking up, aud “bout two

who had apparently just taken
their arms in preparation for seri
ous business.
“That's my name sir,” answer
ed the colonel.
“Beg pardon—Col. Kellogg.
You were a captain at Gettys

Since the war the white house
has never been guarded by sol- j
diers, and even in war time Mr.
Lincoln once dispensed with the
protection of the sentry. “On
one fierce winter night,” nays a
recent writer, “Mr. Lincdii
emerged from the front door, h ; s
lank fi-.’iire bent over as he drew
tightly about his shoulders the
shawl which he employed for such
protection, for he was on his way
to the war department, at the west
corner of the grounds, where in
times of battle he was wont to get
the midnight dispatches from the
field. As the blast struck him he
thought of the numbness of the
pacing sentry aud, turning to him,
said:
“ ‘Young man, you’ve got a
cold job to night; step inside aud
stand guard there.’
“ ‘My orders keep me out here,'
the soldier replied,
“‘\es,’ said tlna president, in
his argumentative tone, ‘but. your
duty can be performed just as
well inside as out here, aud you’ll
oblige me by going in.’
“ ‘1 have been stationed out
side,’ the soldier answered, aud
resumed bis beat.
“ ‘Hold ou, there!’ said Mr.
Lincoln, as he turned back again,
‘lt occurs to me that l am com
mander iu chief of the army and
I order you to go inside.’

Editob Messenger. It is not
j often that I attempt to detain the
readers of a news paper but I
wish to tell your many readers of
what I see out west to convince
them that they who live iu North
Ga. and Tennessee are living in
! a goo 1 enough couutry iu which
to die.
I left Chattanooga the 21st of
April aud landed iu Arkansas
three days later via Memphis.
There J crossed the inland ocean.
I found Arkansas a very hard
conntry in which to sell my wares.
Dry weather in ’96 had left far
; rners in bad straits as well as the
general depression.
I remained at Ft. Smith soma
days. This is or has been the
great bang town,where nearly one
hundred criminals have been
gleaned from the Indian Territo
ry, convicted and took the black
cap, though the federal court has
been removed from there now to
the Indian Territory. Ft. Smith
is a very enterprising city, but
could be compared with Sodom
| when it cones to morals.
I passed out of the United States
of America into another nation,
the home of the red mail, but
there I found the Peanut state
was represented by the score. I
stopped with the Carnes who were
from near Camden They home
steaded a claim of about 1000
acres each and have many cattle—
a sudden ascent from onegaliused
Georgia crackers to capialists of
the Indian Nation.
I found the Territory to be a
lice country on an average. I was
t e only pale face m attendance at
a council of full bloods wherein
they were considering the allot
ment act. They seemed distur
bed and smoked a long stemmed
pipe with great energy. The full
bloods geneialy oppose the a’lot
ruent of land.
I find great wheat crops in this
Southwest but the crop is poor
i further north.
North west Arkansas is a fine
couutry also a portiou of South
ern Missouri but money seems
scarcer than in” 93. The eurren
cy question is discussed liberally
every where and I have seen only
one Bryan man who says lie
would change his vote now for
Hanna’s man.
There have been local rains
la ely but the hottest weather ever
knowu here. Many horses have
died from heat.
I hope yon can abstract fro m
this writing a few lines that will
be of sufficient interest to publish.
1 shall not expect a reply how
ever from all your readers who
are not interested. With best
wishes for the Messenger,
J. E. Hauders.
A Long Distance Record.
Hannah Brewer, the old Bitton
Postmistress, who lias just joined
the rauks of the superannuated,
has recently told a representative
of the London Daily Mail that
she had been delivering letters
without: iutermissiou during the
whole CO years of the Queen’s
reign. She began when a child
of 12, and during her many years
of service had walked a quarter
of a million miles Her father
was sub-postmaster of the village,
aud the district she covered con
sisted of the scattered hamlets ly
ing between Wick aud B.itou, on
the borders of Gloucester. Her
daily round was 11 miles iu all
weathers, aud included many
steep hills. Although the district
is sparsely populated, the old lady
said she had never been robbed,
stopped or molested in any way.
Her travels, apart from her daily
visitations, have uever extended
beyond Bath or Bristol, aud since ;
1892 she has lived alone, those re- 1
lated to her being toopoo' to ren
der her any assistance. Notwith- \
standing the hardships she has j
undergone, old Hannah Brewer
has enjoyed good health during!
her term of office. Her absences
from duty, she said, had been '■
very few indeed; aud now, at the
advanced age of 72 years, she has
retired from the service of the |
Postmaster General on a small j
but well-deserved pension.
Surprised the President.
They are telling a story bere
on a well-known Kentuckian, an
applicant for office, who bad ar
ranged with his congressman to
I be presented to the president says
, the New York Tribuce.
“Give me a pointer or two about
; the etiquette,” he said.
| “Oh, it’s simple,” replied the
| congressman. ‘ Y r ou address him
las ‘Mr. President,' und then add
; anything pleasant and timely that
| may occur to you. He won’t be
able to give us but a few minutes,
; yon kuow.”
“I see he has taken to borse-
J back riding. Uow would it do to
mention that, and then refer to
our own stock aud express the
hope that he may have a good
mount?”
“For God’s sake, no!” exclaim
ed the congressman. “Whatever
you do, don’t talk horse; and, of
cours - *, steer clear of those kin
dred topics wit! us—our pretty
women aud our fine whisky. Be
easy and natural, but not conven
tional.”
The man was presented to the
President, when, to his great sur
prise, the President himself be
gan to talk horse. But the Ken
tuckian, obeying his congress
man’s tip, said next to nothing in
reply on that subject.
A few days afterward the cou
gr ssiuau called alone at the
white house, and the President
said (o him:
“What sort of a Kentuckian
was that you brought here the
other day?”
“A tiptop one, sir. Why?”
“Why, I tried to talk horse to
him, and he didn’t seem to know
anything about horses.”
The congressman was strongly
tempted to tell the whole story,
but, as the joke was really on
himself, he kept his peace. But
he is trying extra hard to get the
man a place as a salve for bis
own conscience.
Ail that are l*-ft of the heroes of
the “Charge of the Six Hundred”
at Balaklava were asst m tied in a
newspaper office iu Fleet street
for the propose of seeing the
queen-, perhaps for the last time,
says an exchange. The queen
evidently knew the veterans were
there, for when her carriage ai
lived at the spot bngle after bu
gle sounded a “halt.” The queen
turned to the windows where her
old soldiers were congregated,
and for a minute or so, while the
“halt” lasted, the old men stood
bareheaded aud cheered with the
greatest enthusiasm. It was one
of the most touching incidents on
the whole line of march.
