V. I. Company and parts of several other companies of this regiment, were recruited in Akron, the regiment being organized at Camp Massillon, August 30, 1862, and leaving for the front September 1, 1862. Company entered the service with the following Akron and Summit County boys as officers: Captain, Walter B. Scott; First Lieutenant, Hobart Ford; Second Lieutenant, Samuel F.

Shaw; Hospital Steward, Milton C. Wilcox; Orderly, Benjamin L. Robertson; Sergeants First, Abraham Paulus; Second, Oscar C.Kackson; Third, Lyman J. Adair; Fourth, James Gillingham; Corporals First, George Q. Folsom; Second, Charles M.

Marriner, of Akron, being Lieutenant Colonel of the the resiment, until progressing north; but now that you arej with me, it will be a question for us to settle whether we ore to wait for the loo to releas the schooner or endeavor to elf ect our escape by other means." A curious gleam of cunning satisfaction shone in his eyes as he looked at me; ho then kpt silence for some moments, lott in thought "Pray," said breaking in upon him, "What ship is this!" He started, deliberated an Instant, and an twered, "The Boca deLDragpn." "A Spaniard?" He nodded.

"She was a pirate?" said "How do you know that!" he cried, with ft udden fierceness. "Sir," said "I am a British sailor, who has used the sea for aomt years, and knows the difference between a liandspiko and a poop lantern. But what matters! She is a pirate no longer." He let his eye fall from my face, and gazed round him with the air of ono who cannot yet persuade his understanding of the realities of the scene he moves "Tut cried he, presently, addressing himself, "what matters the truth, -as you say I Yes," said he, "the Boca del Dragon is a pirate. You have of course rummaged her, and guessed her character by what you found!" "I met with enough to excite my suspicion," said "The ship's company of a craft of this kind do not usually go clothed in lace and rich cloaks, and carry watches of this kind," tapping my breast, "in their fobs and handfuls of gold in their pockets." "Unless" said ha "Unless," I answered, "their flag Is as black as our prospects." "You think them black!" cried he, the look of resentment that was darkening hia face dying ont ot It "The vessel is sound, is she not!" I replied that she appeared so, but it would be impossible to be sure until she floated. "The stores!" "They are plentiful" 'They should bet" he cried; "we have tha liquor and stores of a galleon and two caracks in our hold, apart from what we originally laid in for the cruise.

Everything will have been kept sweet by the cold." "May I ask your name!" said "Jules Tassard, at your service," said he, "third in command of the Boca del 'Dragon, but good as Mate Trentanove, and good as Capt. Mcndoza, and good as the cabin boy Fernando Prado for we pirates are republicans, sir; we know no social distinctions save those we order for the convenience of working ship. Now lot me tell you the story of our disaster. We had come out of the Spanish Main into the South seas, partly to escape some British and French cruisers which were af tor us and others of our kind, and partly because luck was against us, and we could not find our account iu those waters.

"I am a shipwrecked British mariuer," said "and have been cast away upon this Ice, where I found your schooner." "Hal" he interrupted, prodigious vehemence, "certainly; we are frozen up I remember.

I give the substance of bis speech, but not his delivery of it; nor is it necessary that I should interpolate my rendering with the French words he used.

The broth being boiled, I gave him a good bowl of it along with a plate of bacon and tonguo, some biscuit and a pannikin of hot brandy and water, all which things I put upon his knees as he sat upon the mattress; and to it he fell, making a rare meal. Yet all the while he ate be acted like a man bewitched, as well he might, staring at me and looking round and round him, and then dropping his knife to strike his brow, as if by that kind of blow he would quicken the activity of memory there.

I was too feeble to speak too languid to rise. 1 watched him a while, and then the drowsiness stole over me again, and my head sank and I remember no more." He shuddered, and extended the pannikin for more liquor. I filled it with two-thirds of brandy and the rest water, and he supped it down as if it had been a thimbleful of wine.

"Do you know what year this is!" He looked at me without answering.

I saw how it was; he supposed me de ranged a mortifying construction to place upon the language of a man who had restored him to life; yet a few moments reflection taught me to see the reassnablenesg of it. for unless he thought me crazy he must conclude I spoke the truth, and it was inconceivable he should believe that he had lain in a frozen condition for and forty years.

I have no doubt the disorder my mind was in helped to persuade him that I had not the full possession of my senses. He ran hit eye over my figure and then round the cook room, and said, "I am impatient to learn your Kry, tur. "Why, sir," said "my story Is summed up in what I have already told you." But that be might not be at a loss for to be sure. he had only very newly collected his intel lect I related my adventures at large. He drew nearer to the furnace while I talked, bringing his covering of clothes along with him, and held out his great hands to toast at the fire, all the time observing toe with scarce a wink of the eye.

Arrived at the end of my tale, I told how only last night had dragged his companion on deck, and how he was to follow but for his posture. "Hal" cried he, "you might have caused my flesh to mortify by laying me close to tne fire. It would have been better to rub me with snow." He poked up "one foot after the other to count his toes, fearing some had come away with his stockings, and then said: "Well, and how long should I have slept had you not come? Another week By St. Paul, I might have died Have you my stockings, sir I gave them to him, and he pulled them over his legs and then drew on his boots and stood up, the coats and wraps tumbling off him as he rose. "I can stand," says he.

"That is good." But in attempting to take a step he reeled. and would have fallen had I not grasped his arm. "Patience, my friend, patience!" he muttered, as if to himself. "I must lie a little longer, and with that he kneeled and then lay along the mattress. He breathed heavily and pointed to the pannikin.

I asked him whether he would have wine or braudy. He answered "Wine," so I melted a draught, -which dose, I thought, on top of what he had already taken, would send him to sleep; but instead it quickened his spirits, and with no lack of life in his voice, he said: "What is the condition of the I told him that she was still high and dry, adding that during the night some sort of change had happened, which I should, presently go on deck to remark.

That's a good deal more than can be said of some of their white persecutors. Bourbonism is constitutionally down on progress.

Hayti's hoity-toity humor was good enough fun as long as there was no one to molest or make afraid, but when United States war ressela steamed into the harbor of Port-au-Prince and made demands that had the people of the United States back of them, the time had come to. quit playing and Hayti quit quick enough On the authority of Democratic news papers, President Cleveland and mem. bers of his Cabinet gave 80,000 to aid in his re-election, and Scott, Brice, Gor man, Havemeyer and Herman Oel-richs gave 285,000 more.

Harrison's son called while in Philadelphia to see John Wanamaker, the other day, says in his paper that it is settled that Mr. Wanamaker is to go into the Cabinet. Messrs.

Smith and Wanamaker have been close and confidential friends and this publication would scarcely have been made unless there had been a tender of the place. John Wanamaker for Postmaster General is good; very good. If Mr. Walla-maker's genius for success shall follow him into the Cabinet the people will have not only the highest possible efficiency in the postal service, but the greatest attainable cheapness. But if only a long-suffering and much-abused people can have an efficient mail service, after four years of Vilas and Dickinson botch-work, they will not press the question of any further cheapening of rates for some time to come.

Huntington's railroad systems uniting the Chesapeake Ohio Boad running to tidewater on the Atlantic with all his Southern and Western running to tidewater on the Pacific and makes Cincinnati the chief toll-house, so to speak, upon this "highway of nations." Further than this, the plan contemplates yet another railroad from Cincinnati to the South short link being left to build from the Kentucky Central (now a Huntington road) to a connection that will realize the dream of more than 50 years ago of a railroad direct from Cincinnati to Charleston, S. thus giving the Queen City without cost to her citizens another great railroad feeder, practically duplicating their own road which has cost her tax-payers These are the salient features of the gain to come to Cincinnati from her Christmas gift, to say nothing of the countless collateral advantages, and as all the industrial centers of the State profit by every development of facilities for business with new sections, so this bridge becomes a Christmas gift to the entire State, as well, and in fact to the entire North west Territory, to use the title given a century ago to the region now divided into five great empires.

This regiment was organized August 26, 1861, under the first three years' call, but, owing to unavoidable hindrances, it remained at Camp Giddings until December 25, and at Camp Chase, Columbus, until January 17, 1862.

HEADING OFF KIRBY SMITH. The first active duty of the 104th was, as the out-post of the Union forces, in repelling the rebel Gen. Kirby Smith's attempted attack on Cincinnati, in September, 1862, its first skirmish with the enemy being at Fort Mitchell, near Covington, Sept. 10, 1862, the Tegi-ment losing one man killed and five wounded, the only Union blood spilled in defense of Cincmnati. Septemhsi-xg the regiment started on its rlf at march in pursuit of the fleejag rebels, reaching Lexington the morning of October 15, but a few minutes after the rear gup-Id cflihe rebel forces had evacuated the city.

Remaining in Lexington, resting from its severe march, and perfecting itself in drill, (carrying off the honors in a competitive drill with other regiments there concentrated,) on the morning of December 6th the march was continued towards Richmond which was reached in the evening of the 7th. December 27th the march was resumed, its objective point being Danville; where it had some slight skirmishes with the enemy in aiding to intercept Gen. Morgan, who was then raiding in that vicinity From Danville the regiment was transferred to the State capital, Frankfort, where it performed provost duty until February 21, 1863, when it returned to Danville, in which vicinity it continued to operate until September, when it was transferred to East Tennessee, where it became a part of Gen. Burnside's army. After a brief stay at Knoxville, the regiment was sent to Cumberland Gap and aided in compelling the surrender of the rebel- forces at that point; the 104th being the first regiment to enter the works and receive the arms and stores of the surrendered rebels.

Returning to Knoxville, the 104th was on active duty during the siege of that city by Gen. Longstreet, from Nov. 17 to Dec. 4, 1863, suffering greatly from short rations and exposure, and in a sortie to the south side of the Hol-ston river, repulsing ithe enemy with severe loss. Wintering in the vicinity of Knoxville, the 104th took an active part in the Atlanta campaign, in 1864, the assault at Utoy Creek, August 6th, losing 26 men and officers, killed T-wM3Tided: participated in the battle of Jonesboro' the iin.bo.

THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. After much hard marching, and many severe skirmishes, the 104th was transferred to the Army the Potomac in January, 1865, operating at, and in the vicinity of Federal Point, North Carolina, on March 4, making a forced march 'to Kingston, to relieve Gen. Jacob D.

Cox, who -was menaced by a superior force. Proceeding from Kingston to Goldsborti, and from thence to Raleigh," the 104th was highly.com-plimented by Gen. Sherman for its soldierly bearing and efficency in drill and on May 2, 1865 was selected by Cox to proceed to Greensboro to receive the arms and stores of Gen. Johnston's surrendered rebel army. Remaining in Greensboro as guard, until June 17, the regiment was sent to Camp Taylor, at Cleveland, where, on June 27, 1865, the surviving members, 640 in number, were paid off and mustered out.
