He had been blown up in the crater before Petersburg, had been wounded three or four times in different engagements, and had lost an arm at Cotd Harbor. He had lain a day and a night on the battlefield with a bullet through his lung, suffering the terrible agony of thirst before he was ; which only a wounded soldier can ‘0 one was better able to tell of the hardships of the soldier's life than he was. Now that the cockles of his heart had been warmed up, he was most interesting, in- deed. In one engagement he had had a hand-to- hand conflict with one of the enemy, which had been ended by his plunging his bayonet through the breast of his opponent. The life-blood had spurted out of the victim's mvuth into the very face of the victor, and the terrible coughing sob which had ended was expected to give him as little blame sm Was consistent with dignity © and his relation to the family “I need not go inte that part of the ce! but come to what I consider th conse- monies, real expression of feeling which crated the memory of the dead man nothing that I said could have done. “Just before the casket was closed his old mother rose from her seat with che mourners, and approaching the dea slipped a silver dollar into his vest pocke “Jim never Nked to be without money in his pocket,” she said in a low, tremu- lous voice. ‘Many’s the dollar I've slipped into his pocket unbeknown to him, but he always found {t and was thankful. I don't expect he’s golng to need it now, and may be he will never know that mother put it the life was described in such a way as to chill the hearers. At another time, the veteran said, becom- ing separated in some way from Its com mand, he had been charged by one of the enemy on a coal-black steed. The rider made at him, saber uplifted, to cut him down as he ran. Unarmed, panic-stricken, alone, with naught to depend on, it seemed as ‘f his time had certainly come. Fleeing blindly away from the approaching death, with the roar of the snorting steed in his ears, and imagining he felt the steam from the nostrils on his bare neck, he had almost caught the sweep of the descending sword. The veteran was tn a terrible plight. A second had passed, when a shot was heard, cheer, and something instinctively told him to look around. Turning his head in an agony of fear, the veteran had scen his pursuer tumble from his horse headlong, with a bullet in his brain. “That was a close shave, buys,” the vet- eran said. “It didn’t come as near making me leave the army, though, as something else did. I'll tell you how tt’ was.” ‘The little group of listeners eit shat the most thrilling story of all was now to be reiated, and drew closer to the story-teller. “E was on guard duty one night. 1 had been detailed to watch the river bank, with several others. Patrolling up and down, we had heard the sound of muffled oars, and overhauled the persons in the boat, and the contents, when they reached shore. “It was a cold winter night, just the time a drop of ‘the creature’ would have done the most good. That boat was loaded vith jugs of whisky, some of the finest I ever smelt. The owner had kept it for ten years or more, and thought he was moving to a safe place. Strict orders had been issued on the subject of liquor, and we had to do our duty. “It almost broke my heart to see that liquor spilled on the ground and T never before realized so strongly the awful depri- . of a soldier life. I tell ye, I came near deserting.” There was a long silence, broken by one the party remarking: ris indeed terrible thin times of peace, now, boys,” the Old Veteran remarked, and the hint was taken. —.__. h She Believed. w From Tit-Bits, A gentle and affectionate clubmar, who came home at rather an uncarthly hour the other night, what time tt was. “Half-past 11, my dear.” As he spoke the timepiece rang out 3 o'clock. “What's that?” said the justly indignant wife. “Cpming home at this unearthly hour, and then tellizg a story about it!

Thies = i THE MEMBERS PRESENT A meeting of the board of directors of the board of trade was held yesterday afternoon at the rcoms of the board, 1410 G street northwest. The special object of the meeting was to consider proposed changes in the highway act. The special committee appointed by the board of trade to consider the highway act was not prepared to lay its report before the directors, but there was a general dis- cussion by them and the members of the committee, during which various changes in the present law were considered. It is the desire of the highway committee to be able to lay before the board of trade at the meeting which will probably be called for the 20th instant to specially consider this subject a report which will be the unani- mous expression of opinion, not only of the committee, but of the board of directors and the District Commissioners and othe-s specially interested, so that the bill which will be introducted in Congress will be as far as practicable an expression of the unanimous sentiment of the people of the District. Some Changes Suggente Some of the changes in the existing law which were suggested in the course of the discussion at the meeting yesterday of the directors were as follows: In the map of section 1 certain new high- Ways are to be left out and certain streets to be restored, the changes, it is esti- mated, causing a reduction in the cost of condemnation in existing subdivisions in section 1 from eight or ten millions of dol- lars to about three and one-half million; the collection of all taxes and special as- sessments on land involved in condemna- tion proceedings to be suspended until the termination of the proceedings which are begun by the filing of a petition for con- demnation, and in the event the land is not taken, then the taxes are to be paid, but without interest or penalty accruing during the interval; the repeal of section .15, which imposes upon the District the en- tire cost of the condemnations, and which also provides for an assessment upon prop- erty benefited of one-half of the total damages; the proposed assessment to be for actual benefits only, and all parties in interest are entitled to be heard before it is confirmed, such assessment not to be made for each subdivision separately, but after all the subdivisions have been acted upon and provision made for the payment of the awards. It was also agreed that the benefits are to be confined to those which arise from the establishment of the highway and will exclude benefits that may be anticipated from the actual opening of the street or from the condemnation of the other parts of the same highway lying between sub- divisions. The assessment for the con- demnation of land outside of existing sub- divisions is to be made by the same jury that determines the damages, and is to if- clude one-half of the total award. Pro- ceedings for this purpose are to be insti- tuted only when provision is to be made for the immediate actual opening of the street; provision to be made for the im- mediate payment of the awards when con- firmed by the courts and approved by the President of the United States, instead of submitting the awarils to Congress for its approval, according. to the present law. One-half of the amount awarded as dam- ages for any tract of land condemned is to be paid by the,tnited States and one- half by the District. - Honds te: Re tawued. For the purpoge cf raising the money to pay the awards, an issue of District of Co- lembia bonds, rot exceeding four million dollars, bearing 3 per cent interest, to be authorized, such bonds, except as to the rate of interest, to be similar to the exist- ing 3.65. bonds. The various details of the proposed changes were ccrsidered, and remarks were made by Mr. A. S. Worthington, Mr. George Truesdell and others. — Without reaching any acticn, the directors adjourn- ed, to meet again this afternoon for a further confererce. The District Commis- ioners, the special committee on the high- act and the committee on streets and avenues of the board of trade, Mr. Na- thanicl Wilson, Mr. William P. Kellogg and Mr. Charles C. Glover, have been invited to meet with the directors. The Members Present. There were present at yesterday after- noon’s meeting, beside the president, Theo- dore W. Ne and the secretary, Geo. H.

From the Detroit Free Press, ‘The Dutch supper has, as yet, the charm of novelty. The hours range from 6 in the evening until midnight, and it is popular as the wind-up of a bicycle run. The table must be covered with the whit- est of linen, while the decorations should be blue and red, thus to combine effective- ly Holland’s national colors, which, by the way, are the same as our own. The center is occupied by a great dish of stuffed eggs, garnished with parsley, the green sprays trailing on the cloth; as a companion to this, there is a large pla ter of thinly sliced ham, cold, but the wein- ies must be steaming hot. Then there is a salmon salad encircled by water cresses and at intervals dainty mounds of potato salad. Tomatoes with French dressing (with onions would be more in keeping). small saucers of cheese, sweet and sour pickles, olives,slaw (instead of sauerkraut), bread in layers of white and brown, the last, but-by no means least, chmeer-kase, served individually. Sweets and fruits, which may include any and all kinds, form the dessert, and can be most artistically by a tasteful person with deft. fingers.
