An Officer From Michigan Who
Famous During the War.
“Service in the army, ” remarked the
veteran, “certainly tended to develop
characteristics, and if a soldier possess
ed peculiarities they were bound to
come out. Every regiment had among
its members one or more who became
known to everybody, who were distin
guished by a nickname, and to a certain
extent were privileged characters. Some
of these even achieved fame, and their
doings and sayings were repeated
throughout the army. Among the most
noted of these in Buell’s command was
a regimental quartermaster from Michi
gan. On reporting at Louisville I was
ordered to take charge of a steamboat
loading with stores and ammunition for
Nashville. Nearly all the captains and
pilots on the southwestern rivers wore
believed to sympathize with the seces
sionists, and it was presumed that these
gentlemen would not give way to grief
if the boats they were running, loaded
with government supplies, should be
captured at some convenient lauding by
rebels. Hence the precaution of running
the boats under the direction of a Union
officer with a guard on their decks
“On going aboard the boat to which
I had been assigned I was halted at the
gangway stairs by an undersized man
whose hair was several degrees beyond
auburn and whose accent savored of
Tipperary with the salutation:
“ ‘Who in thunder are you?’
“I produced the document from head
quarters, which he read over carefully
and with a profound bow handed back,
remarking:
“ ‘You’re all right and can go where
you like. I’ve been taking charge of this
craft because she needed a head, but I
resign. There’s a devil of a lot of our
fellows aboard. I’m Quartermaster Igo.’
“This was my introduction to the
quartermaster. On the arrival of his
regiment at Louisville he had, or imag
ined he had, business with the quarter
master of the department and at once
proceeded to the large building occu
pied by that officer. Brushing aside an
interposing orderly and pushing open a
gate, he marched on through the sacred
inclosure until stopped by a dignified
And indignant gentleman, who curtly
informed him that he must remain out
side the railing.
“ ‘Who in thunder are you?’ demand
ed Igo.
“ ‘I am Colonel Swords, department
quartermaster. ’
“Igo coolly glanced over him from
head to heel and then asked:
“ ‘Don’t the government pay you?’
“‘Why, certainly, of course,’ an
swered the surprised West Pointer.
“ ‘Then why in thunder don’t you
wear brass buttons and things on your
shoulders so a fellow would know you
are the high cockalorum? How am I to
tell whether you are Colonel Swords or
Tom, Dick or the devil?’ With this he
turned and indignantly marched out.
“Soon after he encountered the colo
nel in a public place and at once ac
costed him about business. He was im
mediately checked with the remark:
“ ‘Sir, when you have business with
me you will please call at my office. ’
“Later, when everything was being
hurried for an immediate departure of
the army, Colonel Swords, wh’o was
riding out to the camp, met Igo riding
into the city.
“ ‘One moment, quartermaster,’ said
the colonel, bringing his horse to a
stand.
“‘Sir,* said Igo, ‘when you have
business with me you will please call
at my office. ’
“In theantnmnof 1862 our regiment
relieved a detachment of troops posted
at a crossroads several miles from head
quarters, at Murfreesboro, Term.: One
evening we received orders to return
immediately to town, and while pack
ing up a soldier found a box of papers
and reported the find. Investigation
showed them to be Quartermaster Igo’s
regimental accounts, and instructions
were given to take them along and de
liver them to him the first opportunity.
This occurred at Murfreesboro, and the
box of papers was returned. On receiv
ing them Igo broke out:
“ ‘Well, this beats thunder. I*ve
been losing these papers all over the
state of Tennessee, and some blamed
fool invariably finds them and brings
them back. How are my aocounts with
the government ever to be settled if I
can’t certify that the papers are lost?*
“It was reported afterward that the
government had imperatively called up
on Igo to settle up, and in answer he
had boxed up all his papers and for
warded them to Washington with a let
ter stating that these were all the docu
ments, and as the department had plen
ty nf clerks they could settle the ac
counts at their leisure to suit them
selves.’’—New York Sun.

Exposure to Disease.
This does not necessarily mean the
contraction of disease provided the
system is in a vigorous condition, with
the blood pure and all the organs in
healthy a'ctfbh. When in Such a con

the disease germs can find no room for
lodgment. Hood’s Sprsaparill i is the
best medicine to build up the system
because it makes pure, rich blood, and
pure blood is the ba6is of good health
In cold weather it is especially neces
sary to keep up the health tone because
the body is subject to greater exposure
and more liable to disease. Hood s
