mind me of what occurred to a friend of mine on the Mississippi river,' said the President. 'He was captain of a steamboat, and when passing through the rapids, he always took the wheel and steered the boat himself. One day when he was in the most difficult part of the stream a boy came blubbering up to him crying: Captain, captain!
" 'Well, what do you want?' 'Oh, do stop the boat. I've lost my apple overboard!' The farmer saw the point of the story and wisely concluded to collect his bill in the usual rountine manner.
In an interesting letter to the American Sergeant J. N. Stiffler of the First Maryland Volunteers, from Headquarters at Yellow Tavern, on the Petersburg & Weldon Railroad, dated August 23rd, 1864, he gives a list of the casualties in Co. "G,"

Permanent

—not an expense
The High Cost of Postponing Permanent Highway Building
Poor motor roads stifle industry and agriculture, waste huge sums annually in high maintenance costs, and greatly increase gasoline, tire and repair bills.
There is not a state, not a county, not • community, that isn't paying a heavy price for having too few permanent roads.
There are still many sections of the country — even whole states — that are trying to operate twentieth century traffic over nineteenth century roads.
This is costing millions of dollars every year, and will keep on costing millions until we have well developed permanent highway systems everywhere.
Even what we often call the more progressive communities are far behind the demands of modern highway traffic v'v with its 16,000,000 motor vehicles.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from Canada to Mexico, we need more Concrete roads—the roads for twentieth century traffic.
Your highway officials want to be of the greatest possible service to you. Get behind them with ways and means that will provide more Concrete roads and streets. Such an investment will pay you big dividends year after year.

formerly the Union Rifles of Cockeys-ville, in the engagements of August 18, 19 and 21. In this engagement Lieut.-Col. John W. Wilson had his horse shot from under him.
Mr. Stiffler adds: "I would like to give you the particulars of the fight, but I have not sufficient time":
"Lieut. Robt. Neely, hear; Sergt. James T. Armacost, arm and side; Corporal Victor Tracey, knee; Corp. Henry Clark, arm, since amputated; Geo. W. Durham, both legs; Daniel Freeland, leg; John H. Gorsuch, thigh; James Vance, leg; John Kone, arm; Barney Klimper, left shoulder; John Harper, thigh; Wm. Douch, in shoulder—all severeley wounded.
"Corporal Gittings Wilson was taken prisoner on the night of the 19th, whilst on picket. Our Regiment suffered severely in the late engagements; it now numbers about 150 men for duty. Col N. T. Du-shane was killed on the 21st by a shell."
In this issue of the American the', Democrats are referred to as the slaveocrats of the South. We give herewith two very beautiful and pathetic war stories published on Sept. 9th, 1864:
"J. B. Willard, Esq., the State I Military Agent of Michogan, writing! from Nashville, Tennessee, to his wife, relates the following affecting | incident:
" 'Last evening as I was passing by the Post hospital, my attention was arrested by the singing, in a rather loud tone, of 'Rally Round the Flag, Boys,' by one of the patients inside. While listening to the beautiful music of that popular song I observed to a nurse standing in the doorway that the person singing must be in a very merry mood and could not be very sick."
"-'You are mistaken, sir,' said he, 'the poor fellow engaged in singing that good old song is now grappling with death—has been dying all day. I am his nurse,' he continued, 'and the scene so affected me that I was obliged to leave the room. He is just about breathing his last.'
" 'I stepped into the ward, and, true enough, the brave man was near his end. His eyes were already fixed in death—He was struggling wit hall his remaining strength against the grim monster, while at the same time there gushed forth from his patriotic soul, incoherently, the words 'Rally Round the Flag, boys,' which had so often cheered, him up when entering the field of blood in defense of his country? Finally he sank away into his death slumber, and joined his Maker's command that is marching onward to that far-off better land. The last audible sound that escaped his lips was: 'Rally boys, rally once again.' As his eyes were closing, some dozen of his comrades joined in a solemn, yet beautiful hymn, appropriate to the occasion.
"Take it altogether, this was one of th emost affecting scenes I have ever witnessed in a hospital. It drew tears copiously from near one hundred of us. It occurred in the large ward which occupies the entire body of the church on Cherry street. The deceased was an Illinoisian, and had been wounded in one of the recent skirmishes."
" 'Old HuAdred' in Camp.—A letter from Gen. Sherman's army down about the Kenesaw Mountains says:
" 'At early dawn this morning, (July 3) before the troops were fully awakened from their slumbers, the melodious notes of 'Old Hundred,' given forth by one of the brigade bands, hang out on the air and were echoed by the green-capped hills beyond. Soldiers intently occupied in preparing the morning meal stood still and listened to the melody, and instantly joined in it.
It flew from regiment to regiment, brigade after brigade took it up, and ere the notes of the bands ceased to r verbrate, five thousand voices were raised in "Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow.* A moment later all was still. Breakfast was
