History Repeating itself.
--The following incident of the Revolution is not without its parallels in the present war:"During the severity of the winter campaign in North Carolina, General Greene, passing a sentinel who was barefooted, said, 'I fear, my good fellow, you must suffer from old. ' 'Pretty much so,' was the reply; 'but I do not complain, because I know I should fare better had our general power to procure supplies. They say, however, that we shall have a fight in a few days, and then, by the blessing of God, I shall take care to secure a pair of shoes.'"
