While passing through Kentucky and Tennessee, during the early part of the war, the fences there, were made of red cedar rails, which made excellent fire wood for the boys. Later on, while passing through Georgia and the Caroli- nas, the rich, fat pine knots, found on the ground, or in rotten pine logs, made very quick, hot fires, and were easily ignited; but they made a terrible black smoke, which covered the boys while making coffee, frying fresh pork and slap- jacks, or cooking yams.
When the men were thrown on their own resources, it was laughable to see the blunders made, and the messes of stuff that were half cooked or spoiled. Alleged biscuits, were attempted once in a while. Ye gods, what curiosities they were! The first time navy beans were issued, and cooked by the boys, they were all thrown away after being boiled, and the government energetically abused for issuing wormy beans; the germs of the beans were mistaken for little pink worms. They learned better as time went on, and some of them became very fair cooks. There were but few of them that knew how to use a needle when they enlisted, but necessity soon compelled them to learn to sew on buttons; but when a patch was attempted, the mystery deepened,and we will draw the veil.
Forty-two dollars a year was the sum allowed by the government to clothe the private infantry soldier. If he drew more the value of the excess was de- ducted from his pay; if he drew less, (which was a rare occurence.) he was paid the difference. The articles included in his outfit were a cap or hat, blouse, overcoat, trousers, shirts, drawers, socks, shoes, a woolen and a rubber blanket. Clothing was issued to the men, regardless of their size. and in order to obtain anything like a fit, much exchanging among themselves, often had to be resor- ted to. Even then it was impossible to suit all, which occasioned much fun and Inore profanity.
Once the boys were to be paid in government bonds, some received them un- der protest, cutting off, and giving or throwing away the interest coupons, not knowing the value thereof: others refusing to accept the bonds, were paid in greenbacks.
The "graybacks" or "body guards" as some called them. were the one, great, ever present, source of annoyance to the soldiers; not to be gotten rid of by fair means or foul. No one was exempt from them. They showed no partiality, and were no respecter of persons. Boiling water was the only sure cure for them, and some soldiers thought that even that did not affect them much; at any rate there was always a full supply.

HISTORY OF THE SEVENTEENTH REGIMENT.
"I feel him in my shirt, upon my neck,
"His griping grip upon my starboard deck,
"I cannot sleep, I cannot rest at all,
"For his omnivorous bite and omnipresent crawl."
Some of the tricks resorted to, by the "play offs," to avoid doing duty, were novel. Some feigned night blindness, others would become suddenly sick with cramp colic, while a few feigned deafness, and others became speechless, having lost their voices. Rheumatism was a favorite excuse for not doing duty. A little wheat flour, or chalk, judiciously applied to the tongue, was sufficient evi- dence for the Surgeon, that its owner was not well, and the slick owner of the tongue, would be excused for a day or so. One or two of the boys would run around among the tents for a bit, just before the "sick call," then going to the Surgeon, to be treated for palpitation of the heart, were generally excused from duty. Some swallowed tobacco to make themselves sick.
The slaves had been made to believe that the Yankees were a vicious set of animals, with horns, and when they saw the "Boys in Blue" for the first time, were much surprised not to find them with horns on, but looking much the same as other human beings.
The rebels would say, "What did you'ns all come down here for, to fight we'uns?" When a division of our army passed over a road, the women, white and black, would say, "Where you'ns all come from? We didn't know there were so many men in the whole world."
Our troops called the rebels "Johnnies," while they called us "Billy Yanks." "Grab a root" and "Here's your mule" were the bywords, that could be heard at all times, under any and all circumstances, in our army.
When we were paid off, the boys had a general settlement among themselves, for money borrowed, trades made, etc. Many of our soldiers sent money home by the agents appointed by the State of Ohio for that purpose. These agents would receipt for what money was given them by the boys, and take it to Ohio, where it was paid to those for whom it was intended. Others would send their surplus money home by comrades going to Ohio.
Company B, had a fair sample of a gentlemanly soldier in the person of Cor- poral Edward Thompson. All who knew him will concede, that under any and all circumstances he was a gentleman, during the war, as well as before, and since that period.
Sergeant Frank Andrews, Company K, carried the flag, so did Sergeant John Jarvis, Company F, Corporal Amos Smith, Company K, Sergeant James Hick- man, Company I, Corporal Willliam Zimmer, Company E, Corporal Isaac Pearce, Company B, and Sergeant Oliver S. Kibbey, Company G.
THINGS FUNNY TO SEE,

George H. Godden, Company B, dancing.
