For everal years it served in the second brigade, second division, under Gen. Gregg and always enjoyed the con- fidence of that brave cavalry commander, Its record is not surpassed by any noted cavalry regiment of the army.

Interesting Reunion Held at Meade Tent Yesterday Afternoon. A very enthusiastic reunion was held at Meade tent yesterday afternoon by the colored troops who served west of the Alleghanies and east of the Mississippi. Mr. Welch of the fifty-fourth Massachusetts opened the meeting with a short address and was followed by Col. Dick Hinton, who spoke of the bravery shown by the colored troops and their value in the war. Geo, Arnold was then called to the stand to lead in singing “The Colored Volunteer.” He said: “I am up here to sing, but I hope that you will allow me to say few words. I want to say something about the white officers who communded colored troops, who had the moral courage and patriotism to take these men and | lead them in their battles for freedom. They were men, comrades, and bad the courage of their convictions. “They came to lead us to glory on the field of fame. And the colored | troops showed that they were worthy to be de- fenders of the flag of which we are so'proud. ‘They were good men and tru: He then sang “The Colored Volunteer,” the oldiers present joining ti the chorus, Lient. J. W. Warne then took the stand and told of the bravery of Maj. Booth and the mastacre at Fort Pillow, and how afterward the colored troops swore never to take a confed- erate ulive and how they kept their oath. Gen. A. W. Greely spoke. He said: “Thirty years ago I wus assigned to the regiment known | as the United States volunteers, the first col- ored regiment organized. There were four regiments of infantry and one of caval I was present when Lieut. Hamlin, the aon of Vice President Hamlin, first called on President Lincoln and organized the colored troops. And it was a wise move, for nowhere could better, truer or braver meu be found. I saw many in- stances of great pereonal bravery, and never | once an act of cowardice. And Iam proud of | the progress the race is making today.” He | related saveralistorissrot ike trayerret tha troops in action. Charles Pickett, the sole surviver of the fif- | teen colored men who were ou board the Kear- surge,next gave a singularly realistic account of the great fight between his ship and the Al bama. He is a remarkably fine speaker, and told his story in a most interesting manner. —-= The Fifth Corps. An interesting incident occurred at the meet- ing of the third brigade, first division, of the fifth army corps in the Thomas tent Wednesday. Gen, Daniel Butterfield, the first commander of the brigade, prosided. in behalf of Comrade Geo. D. Sidman, pre- sented a brigade flag, identical to that with which Comrade Sidman led igade in the t charge at Fredericksburg.” Gen. Butter- field made a pleasant address of ace % " ward Hill of the sixteenth Michigan in- fantry read a very interesting paper entitled “The Last Charge at Fredericksburg,” which showed the boys of this brigade were compose ‘of men whose doeds deserve to be blazoned on the shield of fame. A committee was ap- pointed to draft resolutions of thanks to Com- rade Hill for bis paper and Comrade Sidman for the flag. Comrade Sidman is the happy poseessor of a “medal of honor” granted’ by Congress for distinguished brave the battle of G ill, Va., June 27, 1862. It was also announced at this meeting that Gen.

Mrs. Saino is only about twenty-two years old. She married the professor in 1890 and has one child. She appeared to live happily with her husband and for a considerable time the police were at a logs to account for the poison- ing of the professor. Finally Mrs. Sainio made a confession. She said she had bought a strychnine = capeule —simmi- lar to the capsules containing — qui- nine that her husband was in the habit of taking.

From the Kannas Clty Times, Speaking of Congroskmen recalls that viva- cions and nervous little man, Gen. Wheeler, who represents @ portion of Alabam It is as good as exercise to sit and watch Wheeler. He teters and trembles and flutters is being waged, very much like one of those agitated small snipe common to tho marshy drinks of our wostern water courses. Some fault was found by his colleagues with Wheeler for what they considered his mis- guided courses. He several times got every- body but himself into grievous trouble and proved himself to be a goodkind of democrat to keep in Alabama, “However,” said Col. Wm. Green Sterrett of Texas, on an occasion when some light mention of Gen, Wheeler was made at the Press Club, “I never feel like saying anything against Gen. Wheeler. I feel like I owed him my life. “It was this way,” continued Col. Sterrett in a conversational way, pausing briefly to forever destroy some whirky which poisoned the scene. “When the war broke out Iwas a youth, living at my father's house in the great state of Ken- tucky. I was not more than twelve years old, but my views were very pronounced. I was secesh and it was the one dream of my boyish life to tear this shrinking country right in two in the middle and leave it_on both sides of the road. That's the way I felt then, though I have modified a good deal since. My father did not entirely share in the violence pf my feelings, and after pointing out with his boot the impossibility of my coping with the times I dwelt in sent me to a litle town over in the mountains to school. Among other public improvements which I found there was a stockade or palisade which was manned by @ dozen or fifteen Yankeos, whom I, of course, hated feverishly. Great was my childish joy ‘one day when a passel of secesh cavalry juinped in and run ‘em out. I went right down town to sloat over our victory and got there just as the men in gray were trying to burn the palisade, “ ‘Here Bud,’ said one, jast as T came up, and at the same time tossing’ me his bridle reins, ‘hold my hos: a minute.’ “I took hold of the horse and stood waiting while my patron attempted to start a conflagra- tion. While he was at this Thappened to per- ceive a couple of regiments of Yankees off mile or two on the hills, ‘They were heading our way, too. This demonstration filled me ith doubt. Iwas a mighty careful boy and I wasn't anxious to let those Yankees catch me clear out on the tip of my limb by a good. desl. mister!’ I yelled, ‘come and get your horse. . nd it's only fair to say that he came right along. “As he settlod in the saddle I had an idea. ‘Mister,’ I asked, putting my boyish hand on the bridle, ‘can’t you take me along with you?’ ‘You're too young, my son,” he said.

He's a ragin’ and onfettered eediot named Wheeler; and by the way he's p'intin’ out he’s due to git us all killed or captured shore before ever we git back; and to be entirely frank with you, Bud, sech bein’ the conditions, I don't want no chil- dren on my hands.’ “Now, if fd gone that time,” concluded Col. Sterrett, assuming an air of cold distrust toward certain whisky which had somehow got- ten ia front of himas he unfolded his yarn, “I feel mortal sure I'd been killed or lost, fore, as I remarked,” and here Col.
