he had gone to see Gen. Zollicoffer and had secured the promise of a detail of Lieutenant with twenty men, but Mr. Branner, President of the East Tennessee railroad, induced the General to suppose that Mr. Butler and his friends were unduly alarmed, and he had failed to furnish the guard as promised.

Soon after the tragic event Mr. Butler secured subscriptions amounting to $1,600, bought a good farm of ninety acres in the country, but Keelan was not satisfied there. He became very fearful that his life was in jeopardy and he staid with Maj. Stringfield's command in the army for a year or so. Subsequently, his little farm was sold and a smaller place was purchased near Bristol, where he died a few months ago. Comrade A. S. McNeil, of Bristol, has acknowledged gratitude of the Veteran for his zeal in behalf of honor due the faithful Keelan.

No wonder Keelan's courage went down after the awful night when, with his own blood and brain flowing over his face and mouth, he felt he had given his life for the South. He had no negroes to fight for, he afterward realized himself a cripple, almost helpless, and that the bridge did not remain "saved."

Tennessee and Virginia might well unite in building a monument to his heroism and locate it at Bristol on the state line.

GEN. HENRY EUSTACE MCCULLOCH.

One of the most popular veterans in the western part of Dixie was the late Gen. Henry McCulloch, of Texas, who died March 12, 1895.

He was a native of Rutherford county, Tenn. His father, Major Alexander McCulloch, who was Aid de Camp to Gen. Coffee, under "Old Hickory," was a Virginian.

Gen. McCulloch was educated in Tennessee, but in his young manhood went to Texas (1837). He was elected Sheriff of Gaudalupe county in 1843; a member of the Texas Legislature in 1353, and two years later, a State Senator. He served as United States Marshal from 1859, until Texas seceded from the Union. In the war with Mexico, 1846-8, he was Captain of a company of Texas Rangers.

In 1861, he was made Colonel by the Texas Legislature, and by the Confederate Government. He promptly secured the surrender of fortifications in Northwest Texas. In August of that year, he was made Brigadier-General, and organized troops for a campaign in Arkansas and Missouri. He served in important capacities throughout the war.

The Seguin Anchor pays this tribute to him: "Away back, when defenseless women and children in the primitive homes of Texas called for protection, Henry McCulloch was found on horseback facing the red man. Before our cities were built, before our railroads and telegraph wires were stretched, when the line of advancing civilization was east of the Mississippi, the McCullochs were fighting in defense of the homes of the western pioneers, and the impress of their strong characters was upon hundreds of young men who grew up at that period.

GEN. HENRY EUSTACE MCCULLOCH.

The unfortunate and desolated Confederacy did not have a more faithful and consecrated soldier. Distinguished and merited honors fell to his lot, and were freely bestowed by his admiring comrades. spirit that was in him, all went for the support and His time, his money, his influence, and the martial defense of that which seemed a righteous and sacred cause in his sight, and in the sight of the people whom he served. After the war his manly, civic virtues shone as resplendent as his deeds on the field of battle.

Judge W. M. Ives, Lake City, Fla., makes the following correction in his recent article:

The Fourth Florida was made up of companies from every section of Florida-and not alone from East Florida. as is printed in the April VETERAN.

I see that Capt. Robert Knickmeper, is Commander of Camp Thomas Moore, at Apalachicola. He was Captain of Company B, and served gallantly in (I believe) every battle in which that regiment fought.

CALIFORNIA.

But "How to get there?" is the question that thousands of people are now determining. All such should know that the Great Southern Pacific have just put a solid vestibuled flyer upon its road, which so far excels other through-to-the-Pacific trains that it no longer leaves the question of route an open one to those who have learned of the special advantages this magnificent flyer, "Sunset Limited," offers to the traveler, the tourist and to the invalid seeking a California climate, and to whom a comfortable journey with proper climatic conditions is absolutely indispensable.

This train leaves New Orleans at 8 a. m. every Thursday morning on and after Nov. 1 and comprises every form of car and convenience requisite to an absolutely comfortable journey. It makes Los Angeles in a two and one-half day run, and San Francisco in three and cne-forth days. You cannot afford to visit California and you cannot afford to make the trip by any other conveyance than "Sunset Limited."

Rev. Charles Taylor Talks About

Protection of Health.

One of the Distinguished Divines in Attendance at the Methodist Jubilee Praises the Electropoise.

The celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary of the M. E. Church, South, brought many distinguished divines to Louisville, Ky., among them Rev. Charles Taylor, who was the first missionsionary sent by this church to China, and the Rev. Z. Meek, Editor of the Central Methodist, Catlettsburg, Ky.

It might be interesting to note what some of these distinguished men have to say about the "temporal" man as well as the "spiritual" man, and to listen to their advice about the cure and protection of our health.

COVINGTON, KY., April 21, 1895. Gentlemen: A year ago, and for years before, I was a sufferer from a complication of diseases -not so severe as to disqualify me from my ministerial duties, but such, nevertheless, as to give me almost constant annoyance and pain. Among these were urinary troubles, muscular neuralgia in my right shoulder, varicose veins and several minor ailments.

After using the Electropoise patiently and perserveringly for some eight months, the most serious of these diseases have entirely disappeared and the others are greatly relieved and will in time, I firmly believe, be entirely removed if I faithfully follow the directions.

Yours gratefully.

CHARLES TAYLOR,

[blocks in formation]

Mr. Meck, after getting an Electropoise for a friend, said: "I know of quite a number of my friends and acquaintances who use this wonderful remedy, and not one of them but has received striking benefit. My own experience dates back about five years, when, after using treatment for awhile, I felt rejuvenated and like running and jumping as when a boy, a delightful sensation.

"A most remarkable case came under my observation a short while ago. A lady of high social standing became a slave of opium, and together with other troubles, had brought her to such a state of mind that she attempted suicide; this, however, was prevented. For more than two years she was unable to sleep scarcely any at all. Other remedies having failed to do any good, the Electropoise was used with almost magical results. She slept like a babe all night the first time treatment was applied (now over a month ago), has improved wonderfully, sleeps well and has a good appetite. Has not taken a particle of morphine or any other drug. It is wonderful."

These and all other statements regarding the Electropoise are vouched for by good man. Mr. Meek will verify this and has written and said a great deal more.

Ten thousand dollars will be donated to any one disproving any testimony published by us. Full partilars on application.

Cash price, $25. Rental terms, $10 cash for four months, with privilege to purchase by paying $17.50 additional at the expiration of four

months.
