He has one son living, who is very like him, only he will be larger.
From recent correspondence he seems to be the same kindly, great-hearted Johnnie as when I first met him at Chattanooga, Tenn.
ARMY TRICKS.
THERE were many tricks played on the officers, just for the fun of the thing, during the war, especially if the troops remained long at any one camping-place.
In one of the many camps of the Union soldiers, an odd trick was played off on the surgeon and chaplain of a regiment noted for its merry-making.
The troops were camped by a small stream, over which was a narrow, rickety bridge.
Just across from the camp was a log cabin, in which lived an old woman alone.
The woman paid no attention to the soldiers, but went about her daily duties as though unconscious of their presence.
One day some of the boys passed the cabin, and hurrying over the rickety bridge, came running into the camp with the message, “The old woman in the cabin is dying!” The chaplain and surgeon were notified.
