Kirby Smith in command of a rebel. army invaded 'Kentucky in August 1862, with the avowed purpose o f taking Cincinnati, With grant dispatch David Tqdd, then Governor o f 1 Ohio, ■ issued a proclamation to alt the militia in the state to organize at,once and report jn the city, and arm and equip them­ selves as ‘best they could. Among , the many thousands that gathered there, was a company from Cedar- ville of 118 men of* all ages. They were gotten' together in great haste and under intense excitement The commissioned, officers' were, chosen at Cedurville, but the non-commissioned officers were chosen after the company arrived at the city, The entire roll of all the officer* *Qd men in that company was published in the Herald of August 5, 1899. Arriving in the city after dark, the company marched from the Little Miami depot to Gen, Lew Wallace's headquarters, Which werean the Masonic Temple building on Third Street. From there they were immediately sent to their quar­ ters fir the night away up into the city along the banks of the canal, in­ to a large pork-house, where the joice overhead were banging fall of Ijgms and shoulders, .gwqe .nf tie hoys were in nigh glee all the night long, and few got any sleep. Esrly next morning all were up and went out to the battles of the caual *ud washed their ban Is and faces. The boxes of provisions taken from home were a t the depot, and lienee they had nothing to eat. One married man, when he had washed his lace and baud* and combed his hair, as he was accustomed to dh a t home every morning and then sit down to a good warm breakfast, thought of his home, and said; “Now if I could only see Rachel, 1 would be satisfied”? Rachel wss his wile's name. That became a saying among the young men in the company afteward: viz. *‘i f l could only see Rachel, l would he attisisd”! I t was nearly noon before the ration* were gotten up from the depot, and all were by that time fur­ nished with a keen appetite. That day the company was moved acroas the canal and quartered in a large German hall adjoining the Barracks, and took their meal* a t a boarding remained for abqat a week, going out to guard duty, as they were need* ad In different part* of the city. They were used to relieve the regular *<>ldi«*, that they might go over to the Kentucky side to fortify the bights, for these militia men could not, Iw taken out of the state without they would volunteer to go. The ffrst day after arriving in the city, there was a cal! for volunteers to go aver to tbs hills in the rear of Gowingtoa to throw up fortifications. The aosapoay lisld a meeting in the kali and the matter was dtoesmied, There was quite a warm debate, for some were in favor o f going, and other* were not, The dtoeumion waxed m warm 'that it te*m#d I t Would come to Mows,- One young man ended it by raying; •‘Man, this seen*'ici me a strange perfotwMMwvl We came down "hare 1 to tght rebel*, ami now we art about to fight eaeb other, Let n* not Lee onr eeaese, bat take a vote o* th« questhm whether we will go or not, and I h the iMyoriiy rnl*.i" The vote wa* tehee, and a majority rtftfsed to go. The temper of tim hot heeds moled of, ami the com iwnf had no more IroaMe. One night the company f l i *(*j tinned in eqaade of tee or twelva on the cor aem o f the U r a n to do guard Order* to the Barraeki had .n hard time of it, and no oas wanted *to get in there. Thomas *Kvle -had . command, of squad of men, and about midnight ah irishman came along in great haste going for the doctor. Kyle, who was 0 feet 6 inches' tall and slender, .halted the Irishman, and asked for his .♦‘pass." The Irishman had forgotten to have it in hiS’pocket, .and so informed the tall lieutenant.* Kyle answered: - •*W« will have to take you to the barracks.” @ “ 0ch!" say* the Irishman, “yon look like you could take me to the skies!" This raised quite, a laugh among the sqtiHd, and Lt. Kyle wishing to ins as lenient as possible with the pleading representative of. the Emer­ ald Isle,'sent two soldiers vith him to bis home, where he produced his "pass’*and was released to proceed for the doctor. Another squad under the command of a tall corporaljialted a young man who had no “ pass." He had been to See his best girl, and unconscious of fleeting time, hpd staid beyond 10 o?clbt‘k. The corporal told him that he had orders to send all without ''passes" to the Barracks. He said that he would not go. The corporal told him that lie guessed ho would. The young man said that he could in a few steps be out of that ward. The corporal replied that the city Was Under martial law and we did not go by wards; besides it would not ha safe for him to run, for he might get his keek burst. Thompson Draw* to take him to tlm Barracks. He did hot refuse to march when told. The hove took him, and on the way he told them the circumstances, and in­ sisted that if they would only go one block out of their way, be could con­ vince them that he was all right. This they did, hut took care to fool around and consume enough time to go.the Barrack*, before they returned to the squad. The corporal ' asked them how they got along; they an­ swered, "all right!” A day or two afterward, they told the corporal the facts, Torap. can tell all about it, The last day the company was in the city, it wa* sent down into the city for guard duty, with orders to send to the Barracks any one that wat mskiag trouble, or was in any way disorderly. The company was under the oomruand of Lieut. Kyle. When they arrived a t the place of duty, they found a man and his wife in a violent scrap, palling hair and clawing each other, in a contest to decide I sup­ pose, who was boss.

But in the midst of the fuss, an order came relieving the company to go home, They im­ mediately took up the line of march to headquarters which was near the Barracks, and they took the man with them. On the way up and near the Barmdft, Lieut, Kyle and others concluded to have a little fun out of the case, and Kyle whispered to him that if he would brake away and run real hard down the next ernes street, he might have a chance to escape.

On a bright summer day, a boy sat on the curb stone in a distant city, reading one of Nick Garter’s great works. He was storing his mind with literature and he smoked a cigar­ ette that smelled like burning old rags in housecleaning time. He was one of the kind of boys who has his picture taken with his hat on, and holding a deck of cards in one hand and an ohl revolver that wouldn't •hoot in the other, The city weigh master came along looking for a hoe to help a euatomer mow away a load of hay.

I t is well-known that in that relationship the company has been a model for other corporations, never, in all the immensity of its monetary interests, losing sight of the import flnee of the fair treatment of its faith­ ful servants, whether* they stood at the top of the official lint or ranked sinong the humblest of its employees. This new pension system is the out­ growth of the Company's Voluntary Relief Association, which provides that iu the event of sickness or dis ablemeut of its members they shall be paid a certain sum during the con­ tinuance of such condition, and a certain sum in the event of the death of the member. Membership is en­ tirely voluntary. The Pennsylvania Company itself bears all the expense of conducting the business, besides guaranteeing the fund. Thus all dues and fees paid in by the men are absolutely devoted to the reliefof the members- Moteom, tb* eomponr handles the money, guaranteeing 4 per cent intersit thereon. A feature of the scheme was# through these means, to create a fund which should ultimately be used .asa pensiou fund. This point has now been reached for that part of the organization em­ bracing the lines cast of Pittsburg— the Pennsylvania road proper—and, as already stated, 950 men are a t once the beneficiaries of the system. I t is all the more creditable, alike to the company and to the men,’ that thia pension system is not a charity on the part of the corporation, but a wise and well managed provision whereby the men themselves are given oppor­ tunity to provide for their own old age in a self respecting way. The company assumes reponsibility for the safeguarding of the Binds, all the ex­ pense of management, and guarantees the investment of the funds, and thus gives the fullest co-operation iu the proper working of the enterprise. The employees have three representatives in the management; the company two The pension system provides that a man who has been thirty years in the service of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company shall he retired on a pension equal to atioufc 50 per cent, of the salary or wages he earned at the time of his retirement, No fur­ ther duties are expected of him, and there are no requirements other than that he shall be loyal to the interests of the company, ready with such ad­ vice, knowledge and friendly assist 9 ance as it may be in his power to give.
