A HUNGRY AUDIENCE.
The following amusing account of the return of the 24th Iowa Volunteess from the front to Davenport to be mustered out, appeared in the "Annals of Iowa" in April, 1895: "It appears that the regiment had reached Chicago at II:00 o'clock at night, supperless, but when it became a question between going after something to eat or stealing a train then in waiting for the Twenty-second Iowa and getting off at once, supper was not considered for a moment. But it did seem a little trying, upon arriving in Davenport about 9:00 o'clock next fore- noon, without breakfast, as a matter of course, to be drawn up the first thing to listen to speeches of welcome from two or three of the warm-hearted Iowans, residents there. The occasion was somewhat inspiring. Here stood the sur- vivors of the 1,000 men who in answer to their country's call had left their state three years before and now returned in triumph with 'glory and scars,' holding aloft the banner under which their comrades died and which had by them been borne with honor on many bloody fields. Little wonder that Davenport orators wished to 'improve the opportunity.' But never, methinks, was eloquence so sadly handicapped. Colonel Wright made a response, the brevity of which testi- fied to his appreciation of the situation, and then away we went to Camp Mc- Clellan-only to find that not only was there no breakfast there but no rations. Then the colonel made another speech, brief but emphatic, when he started to the city to stir someone up, in virtue of which we managed to break our long fast, sometime in the afternoon."
