The up river trip differed vastly from the downward jour- ney. Then we were advancing into an enemy's country and were on the alert. The infantryman had his loaded gun ever at hand and the cannoneers had an unlimbered gun ready to be run in each direction; tompion out, vent cover off and number five's pouch, containing a shell and a canister, hanging from the cascable knob. When landing for wood upon the down trip, pickets were sent afield and a reserve stood to arms. Ad- venturous spirits made forages to the nearest plantation houses and often returned in the family carriage followed by a wagon load of plunder. Now we idly lolled on the guards of the boat, or the bank, and chaffered with the natives. Unwonted luxuries were added to the private menu; eggs, at ten cents each, appeared.
At Cairo we disembarked from the boat, our last of a hun- dred trips and thousands of miles traveled on steamboat, barge, scow and yawl, and in twenty hours were on the rails for Chicago. The novelty of returning soldiers had worn off and instead of crowds at the stations we were greeted by groups. But we could see that the restless, nervous excitement of war, the eagerness for news from the front still lingered with the home people and it was vet impossible to settle down to steady plowing of "summer foller." "As we speeded northward the finished harvest was being stacked and we thronged the plat- forms and leaned far out of the windows to snuff the sweet, faint smell from the wheat. the ripening corn and the newly turned earth. Caught sight of the frontleted bull with his defiant head tossed high, surrounded by his meek seraglio, and the trees loaded with ripened peaches and red cheeked harvest apples which we could pluck upon opportunity with none to molest. The fairest sight that ever greeted our eyes, or ever will, this side the gates of Paradise, after four years of the mountains of Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee; the clay hills of Mississippi, the flat lands of Louisiana and the storm-riven, battle-scarred South, was this pleasant, undulat- ing Illinois. Truly, God is good to fetch us back to our own.

of the North going quietly about her daily life and the cordial smile in her eyes was heavenly to see, while we uncovered and stood abashed and diffident in her presence, or followed her with admiring, furtive glance. If she stopped to speak a pleasant word, as she often did, the recipient stood shy and hesitating. Yet he had looked unflinchingly into the muzzles of rifles and black mouths of cannon, hurling iron and lead his way, and but a short time previous familiarly patted the little brown beauty, Rodman, as she hurled back the Southern rough rider. And this segment of Heaven got right into a car, of our train, traveled right along with us and, like the charmed bird, if we went into her car, pretending an errand forward down the aisle, she didn't draw away her skirts and elevate her chin disdainfully. And one cannoneer engaged in conversation with a lady, and actually seated himself beside her, and they chatted. Yes, we saw him, with envious eyes. Ah, me, there is courage, and courage. This facing batteries and charges is only bravery, after all.
We pulled into the depot at the foot of Lake Street, Chicago, and disembarked. Truly we were a motley lot. Knowing that civilian clothes were soon to be bought, most of us stood in worn uniforms. Some, with a pride born of a late enlist- ment, drew new uniforms at Baton Rouge, with a desire to appear before Rachel in all war panoply. Others were togged out in half Federal and half Confederate clothes. One cook wore the same clothes in which he had last presided over the bake kettle. Carlie Ward was embellished with a huge braided corn husk hat. When the hat was wet with rain he would draw out the apex of the crown until it, with the saggy brim, resembled Robinson Crusoe's chapeau. just touch the peak with his fingers. Cameron wore a fine
It was huge, he could gray cap, captured, including his breakfast, from Rebel Gen- eral Gober. He afterwards gave it to the girl who presided over the war relics in the Sanitary Fair building in Milwau- kee, and walked bareheaded to his hotel. Indeed there was a great variety of head covering, for when a soldier lost a hat enroute, he stationed himself on the car steps and as the train moved from a station would deftly lift the hat of his choice from the head of a bystander and pass on into the future, leav- ing the astonished owner to the jeers of the throng.
We were marched to nearby barracks for the night and given a soldier's supper at an adjacent mess house. In the morning we were marched to the same mess house, but a newly arrived Illinois Regiment were given the precedence and we were told to wait in the street. We scornfully resented this and broke ranks to meet at the Kinzie Street depot at 10:30. The two Mikes. Ward and Cameron, went together. Up a few blocks they encountered a group gathered around a police-

man. They penetrated the throng and found that the police- man had Ward's hat, was exhibiting and explaining how he had found it on a post where a Wisconsin Batteryman had hung it. Ward sniffed, "My old hat." "Well you can't have it for five dollars," replied the officer. Mike should have gone to a hat store and traded it for a stylish tile. Cameron proposed that he had two dollars, that they enter a restaurant, order and eat breakfast, lay down the bill and let the proprie- tor kick 'em out for the balance. A "square meal" down in the Crescent City costs from four to six dollars. They entered the Masonic restaurant and Ward whispered, "It'll cost a for- tune." Seated at a table they critically scanned the menu and ordered the best they knew how with their limited experi- ence, and sat right up to a table with a linen cloth on it, and queensware dishes and a white man to wait on them. Soon the waiter brought a card bearing the legend of the price of their feast. Ward laid down knife and fork, drew a long breath, squared his jaw and slowly turned the card with the price side up, "Forty-five cents."
Mrs. Webster had joined the Captain at New Orleans, where he was stationed as Chief of Artillery early in the year, and accompanied him and us North. Arriving at our portages he went with her to a hotel and Lieutenant Nutting was in immediate command. ' Ock, being less of a diciplinarian than Dan, was just the fellow to command a horde like us who were shedding discipline at every station northward. He en- joined only that we should rally on the colors, which was himself, at time and place specified. We all "got there " on time and were soon speeding over the soil of Wisconsin. How we did stand on tiptoe, and crane our necks for a sight of old Camp Utley, as we passed Racine.
They are strong of limb and look, And forget to heed the rain; And drink of every babbling brook, And lie on the open plain ; For the mists of night are heavenly dews, To their oaken bark and grain.
We rolled into the depot at Milwaukee at one o'clock and in a moment had that chief section of the Universe, called Wis- consin, under our feet. Some of us were, and the rest almost home. What a clean city was this after the grime, and dirt, and smoke, and roar of Chicago. The very Nicholson smelled good, and felt good under our feet. The very signs bearing legends of the city's chiefest industry assuaged our thirst and the manner of the people betokened that we belong to them. After our breakfast of Chicago atmosphere only, we felt that

in this homecoming, we had brought our appetites with us, and falling in for our last march as a Battery we tramped be- hind a guide to a soldiers' mess house near the Newhall and as we stowed away the state fare our minds ran backward against the sun and we were at Camp Utley with our battles and marches before us. A glance along the table showing the one hundred fifty-seven mustered in at Racine reduced to twenty-eight comrades present for duty, recalls us to the present and that our campaigns, one hundred and twenty-eight separate and distinct days under fire, and four years of the flower of our youth are behind us. But as we eat, our thoughts will dwell on the departed comrades, scattered throughout the Union; and the graves of some, like sentinels, posted from the Ohio to the Gulf. Tomorrow, we, too, will separate, never to meet again as a Battery until our first Orderly Sergeant, Chas. B. Kimball, calls the roll before the Great White Throne.
After dinner we wandered through the Sanitary Fair Build- ing and got an inkling of what the women of the North had done, and were even yet doing, for the boys in blue. Coming out the hotel keeper was in evidence. A half dozen hotels were open for us where we could go any stay, and pay after muster out. Many climbed into the busses and wagons, but Captain Webster was about then in evidence and he rounded the whole outfit, busses and all, up on the Cold Spring race track where, after some general information and a special injunction to report at evening roll calls, he let us fly, and we flew.
It took several days to make out the final muster roll and some stayed in the barracks on the grounds, taking meals at the mess house, while many went to the hotels, and all ordered their civilian clothes. The ways of peace and civil life were more or less easily adopted although many civil customs excit- ed curiosity and amusement. One showery morning Rifen- berg got us all out of the hotel reading room to see a man coming down the street with a raised umbrella. We had for- gotten the invention and deemed it ludicrous that a man should hold something over himself as a protection from the rain. A clay pipe was a curiosity to us and our self-carved briar root pipes were highly prized mementoes to the natives.
The pay rolls were made out and signed in an office near Spring Street bridge and we were told to rally at camp for muster out the next day. On Friday, July 21st, 1865, we gathered at the Cold Spring track, the bugle rang out the last assembly and we formed on the back stretch for our last roll call, after which we were mustered out by a regular officer, whose signature on our discharge certificates no man could ever make out, but whose name was Beers or Bierce. As the

line broke the bugle rang out taps and as a battery our light was out.
But the flame of their endeavor Time and change shall not dissever From the nation's heart forever, When the boys come home. *
Our discharge certificates were dated July 18, but we got them and our final pay on the 21st, bid each other good-bye and God speed and separated to take up the battle of life. Although we discarded our uniforms with a sense of relief the new clothes made us fell stiff and awkward and our thoughts seemed affected in the same queer way. We most missed our revolvers and spurs, and it was amusing to observe one of these veterans, weeks after muster out, while standing in converse, involuntarily raise his hand half way up as if to give his forty-four a hitch. We opine that now, after lapse of over a quarter of a century, if a volley broke near-a Battery camp fire that many of the men as they sprang up would reach around to the right hip.
As we mingled with the home folks they led us to talk of what we had done, while we preferred to talk of what was to come and looked far out toward the Dakotas and the Rockies.
Men, as the work of our earlier years passes in review on the field of memory. we know that in the warp and woof of the history of our country our work is woven. From Clark in Massachusetts to Hodge in Utah, Castles in Nevada. Rhines, Paddock. Pidge. Reed and Kimball in California, Malbun and Bradfield in Washington and Webster in Oregon; from Her- rick and Bacheller on the Northern frontier to Weston in Louisiana and Cavanar in Texas, let us believe that after the last earthly reunion and camp fire
We shall meet and greet in closing ranks In time's declining sun, When the bugle of God shall sound recall And the battle of life is done.
