close along the front of a Federal regiment which rose and fired on him. The speed of his horse was so great that not a ball struck him. At Hanovertown, in 1863, and on a hundred occasions, he was chased, when almost unattended, by Federal cavalry; but, clearing fence and ravine, escaped. He was a horse-man in his knowledge of horses, but had no passion for them; preferred animals of medium size, which wheeled, leaped, and moved rapidly; and, mounted upon his Skylark, Star of the east, Lady Margaret, or Lily of the Valley, he was the picture of a bold cavalier, prepared to go into a charge, or to take a gallop by moonlight-ready for a fight or a frolic. It was out of the saddle, however, that Stuart was most attractive. There he was busy; in his tent, when his work was once over, he was an insouciant as a boy.

neral Brooks requested Mrs. Brooks to have Indian corn cakes for breakfast, knowing his superior's especial liking therefor. In after years, when a Medford boy visited Governor Brooks, who took great pride in his garden and was taking the boy about it, the Governor told him with much pleasure of his illustrious visitor, remarking that it was their last interview. The house had a succession of tenants till in 1810 Samuel Swan became its owner and occupant, dying at sea in 1823. His widow Margaret, commonly called Peggy, Swan, continued to reside there and rented a portion of the house until her passing away. Of the occupants during the past fifty years we can speak with certainty of but one, the last, Cleopas Johnson, who died there on December 17, 1902. He was a carpenter and builder and a thorough mechanic, as was also his partner and brother, Theophilus. The brothers were familiarly called Cope and Tope by all the old-timers of Medford. Cleopas outlived his brother. Whe

Gentle spirit! released from the ills and pains incident to mortality, thou hast winged thy flight far beyond the skies to a land of promised rest — to the City of the New Jerusalem — where thou shalt unite with all the redeemed host, through eternal ages, in singing the praises of God and of the Lamb. * M.

War claims its victims even among those who are sheltered from the exposure and privations of the camp, the toil and fatigue of the march, or the dangers of the battle. The home of the deceased has been througed by soldiers worn out and sick from the ordeal through which they passed in the "Army of the Northwest." Her natural energy was stimulated beyond its ability in her constant ministrations to their wants, and she
