he cooking and served the table. The table furniture descended from generation to generation, being added to, now and then, when there was a deficiency or a breakage. During my course I belonged to four different establishments of this kind. Habitually the cost to each of us in the club was $1 per week. Sometimes it slightly exceeded this amount. The highest that was paid at any club was $1.75 per week. During my last year, with several classmates of special selection, I boarded at Mrs. Hall's, not far from the Tontine Hotel, for $1.50 per week. This board did not include what was called the term bill, which, for room rent, tuition, and incidentals, was paid to the treasurer of the college. In my class were thirty-six students. One only, Dr. Holmes, a surgeon in the army, died during the Civil War. Another, William P. Frye, of just my age, truly a most distinguished citizen, is now a United States Senator and President pro ter. of the United States Senate. John S. Sewa

I selected Hall's brigade of my division for the trial. The instant ColoneColonel Hall in the presence of his men asked who would go ahead in the precarious enterprise, Lieutenant Colonel Baxter and his ee transit for the remainder of our corps. Two regiments of Hall's and all of Owen's brigade crossed the bridge. With a smaned to cannon, musketry, and the shouts of the soldiers. Hall pushed straight on; Owen rushed his men into the outskirts of the town to the left of Hall, while Sully reserved his brigade for the bridgehead nearer the river. First, Hall's guidHall's guide was killed; at the second street he met formidable resistance; he found persistency and exposure of his men necessary to of his regiments and cleared the lower part of the town.

wift and sure, dealing death and wounds to our brave fellows almost without a return fire. All this the officers of my division fully apprehended, yet, without faltering, that division, in its turn, swept forward. Owen's brigade went first and Hall's next. I kept Sully's for a time in the edge of the town for a reserve, but was soon obliged to send forward one regiment after another as Hall and Owen called for help. My regiments began to fire when each in its turn reached the general lineHall and Owen called for help. My regiments began to fire when each in its turn reached the general line of battle, so that the rattle of musketry for hours was unceasing. To help us Hazard's Rhode Island battery came up at a trot, crossed the canal, and unlimbered in the open ground in the rear of Owen's troops and for a time fired with wondrous rapidity. The battery lost so many men in a short time that it was ordered back. Frank's New York battery followed Hazard's example and endeavored by rapid fire to open the way to our infantry for a front attack. But our attempts were futile, as had

e Eleventh) has marched in very orderly style and all my orders are obeyed with great alacrity. June 18, 1863.-Almost too hot for campaigning. I am waiting for orders. General headquarters (Hooker's) are thirty miles away just now, at Fairfax Court House. Charlie (Major C. It. Howard) is quite well, and so is Captain Stinson, aid-de-camp. Charlie has just at this time gone to General Reynolds's camp, and Captain Stinson to that of General Meade. I have a new officer on my staff-Captain Daniel Hall, additional aiddecamp, formerly John P. Hale's private secretary-a very fine young man. He has been sick and I am afraid he will not stand the fatigue. When in permanent camps our notes and letters were kept up with much regularity, but when the long marches began they became few and short. We first, setting out the next day after Ames's return from Brandy Station, came to Catlett's Station. General J. F. Reynolds was given a wing of the army, just then the right; it consisted of

Captain Daniel Hall was the only aid of mine sent to the general; the onch order or intimation. In this connection I may quote Captain Hall's own words in a letter to me: You directed me tosame thing in another letter to a friend in February, 1877, Hall says: The impression has always been firmly fixed in my minral Howard. Once more, in a subsequent letter to me, Captain Hall used these words: I know to a certainty that nobody antinutes afterwards that an officer (I now believe it was Captain Hall) stood in the same street and, looking up, said sadly: teinwehr. The new orders were carried to them again by Captain Hall to Schurz and to the reserve artillery under Major Osboground; the Fourteenth Brooklyn, Ninety-fifth New York, and Hall's battery were cut off, and in danger of capture; the horse

ep of the front and right of my positions, 50 cannon. 2. Hazzard had 30 finely located close to the crest near Zeigler's Grove. 3. McGilvery about 40, near Little Round Top, favorable for a direct or oblique fire; and 4. The reserve, which Hunt kept ready under shelter, for quick replacement of any which might become disabled. The infantry had changed place but little. The brigades now most exposed to direct assault were those of Smyth and Willard (Hays's division), and Webb, Hall, and Harrow (Gibbon's division). At last two signal guns were fired. Then, after just interval enough to mark well the signal, the cannonading began in good earnest. At first the hostile fire was unusually accurate, neither firing too high nor too low, and the projectiles were showered upon the space between Zeigler's Grove and Little Round Top about the center of our line. But as soon as Osborn set his guns in play from the cemetery, and McGilvery had opened up his forty pieces from
