A SRAVE YANKEE.
Does Substitute Work for a Nervous
Comrade and Wins Unex
pected Laurels.
“When we were in front of Spanish
fort in April, 18G5," said Comrade Dan
R. Anderson, "we had in our company
a recruit whose time was nearly out.
His name was .Job Jennings, and he came
i from the Sixty-eighth Indiana. He was
detailed to go out in the trenches, and
that was extra dangerous, as the eonfed-1
erates had got the range on the j
: zigzag we were making tow'ard their
fortification, and were dropping all
sorts of shells for our entertain-:
ment. Jennings' mother was a widow,
and he longed to see her. He told
me that if he went out he would certain- j
ly be killed. He said he was not a
coward, but that he had a presentiment
that he would be killed, and he told me
to send some things he gave me to his
mother in case he did not come back.
He was the most forlorn looking mortal
I ever saw, and I said to him: ‘I’m pret
ty hard to kill. I’ll go for you!' And 1
went.
"I had been vigilant all through the
night, peeping through a little porthole
made by placing a V-shaped box made of
heavy plank, with a notch cut out of the
bottom of it big enough to stick the bar
rel of a gun through, set in the dirt we
threw out of the pits or zigzag next to
the enemy, leaving a small opening
through which we fired, with very little
exposure. The zigzag was about a yard
wide, and from one to four or five yards
long, and five or six feet deep, with a
step left a foot or more high and more
than a foot wide, on which to stand while
v.e looked through the porthole. 1 saw
very little to shoot at till night, and just
as day w-as dawning I heard the swish
of the wmgs of a wild goose. It was no
unusual tiling for them to fly over us—
flying low, I thought, so 1 concluded to
try a shot at one. .
I hot goose was a id-inch mortar
shell, and as I looked up It burst soclose
to my head that I involuntarily went
down; that is to say, I sat down, and as
I had been standing a foot or more high
er than the landing place. I was killed
again, so to speak. It. was sandy soil—
I remember now that I was thankful
that the soil was sandy, and when on*
of the comrades came to me and asketf
where I was hit I told him to thump me.

the oiher badly wounded.
“1 had just begun to congratulate my
self on my lucky escape when another
one of those 13-inch visitors made a hole
In the ground not more than a foot from
me. I looked Into the hole and saw the
sand coming up. Instantly I w as nearly
buried as I rolled into the hole blown out
by the explosion of the shell. I dug my
self out and intended to skedaddle out
of there, an admirable thing to do dur
ing a heavy bombardment of the rifle
pits, as the occupants would retire to the
entrance of the gap and await a calm. I
was so bewildered that instead of going
out I went farther in. and to the ex
treme er.d. nearest the Spanish fort,
where I remained inactive, compara
tively safe, and had regained my wonted

A POSTPONED FEAST
How the Soldiers of an Ohio Regiment
Enjoyed Christmas Dinner
in Tennessee.
December, 1863—the night before
Christmas (the lime above all others
when our thoughts wero of home)—
found the Seventh Ohio cavalry on out
post duty, closely observing the vet
eran army of Gen. Longstreet. then in
Upper East Tennessee, sjiys Theodore
F. Allen, in the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune.
The Christmas feast was by no means
ready for either the confederate cr
union troops in East Tennessee, as both
armies were then living off the country
which had long before been almost de
nuded of every edible thing suitable for
nmn or beast. The veteran cavalry
men of our regiment were sharing their
exceedingly light rations with their
horses, five nubbins of corn per day for
each man and his horse being the gen
erous allowance from our limited sup
plies.
Under this circumstance it was neces
sary to postpone our Christmas ; it ’ r
until the February following. L> t -
time Longstreet had retired from Last
Tennessee to rejoin Gen. Lee’s army,
preparatory to the campaign in Virginia
against Gen. Grant.
In February we found ourselves re
lieved from duty in close proximity to
the enemy and in order to recuperate
our men and horses took station in
Tuckaleechee Cove, at the base of the
Great Smoky mountains, south of Knox
ville, near the North Carolina line.
Here there was fairly good grazing for
our horses and moderately generou3

foraging opportunities for the men. It
was here, and in the month of February,
that we had ovJr Christmas dinner.
Somewhere and somehow (it was not
for me to know or to ask) our mess had
secured a turkey, maybe a wild one
which had been killed in trying to bite
some of our boys, and under thf skillful
hands of Private Sant Wood, of company
I. the most expert cook in the regiment,
this turkey was roasted over a fire of
live coals which Sam with the utmost
care had prepared and arranged.
The turkey was suspended from a rig
ging of poles at the proper distance from
the coals and by the dexterous hand of
Sam was kept gently turning around and
around that the roasting process might
proceed properly*. Out of the sky had
dropped a mess of sweet potatoes along
with some pickled cabbage, much like
saner kraut, which went to complete our
Christmas dinner. Our mess, composed
of the colonel, the surgeon and the adju
tant. sat close by to watch proceedings,
to “shoo away” self-invited guests who
j had been attracted to our campfire by
e-the aroma of the roasting turkey, and.
! incidentally, to wipe our watering
mouths and to frequently ask Sain if he
. ce-td mi hurry matters along a little
