I told him of Poe's contrivance of the hook and chain, and how the heaviest rails were easily overturned with it, and how the ties were piled and fired and the rails twisted out of shape. The President listened to every word with intense interest. "By Jing!" he exclaimed, "we have got a general. Caesar burnt his bridges behind him, but Sherman burns his rails. Now tell me some more."
It was the deep breath of the storm fiend launched upon a defenseless earth, carrying wreck and destruction whithersoever its blast was turned. "By Jing'!" It was Montana Ike who voiced the awe crowding every heart. But his exclamation brought the practical mind of Buck to consideration of their needs. His eyes turned again to the roof, and Pete voiced his thoughts.
"Yes, sir," answered Dan. "It's great! Are we out at sea now?" "Almost," was the reply. "Not in the full swell yet, but this is our last sight of land."

I should like to call him so. I admire him." And I went on to tell of what he had done at Vicksburg, leaving out, however, my instrumentality in having him sent north. The President used almost Sherman's words. "By Jing!" he exclaimed. If it wasn't for them, the South would have quit long ago."
What perfume does your wife? I want to know. Jing. Stop. Knock. Last look at mirror always before she answers the door. The hall. There? How do you? I do well. There? What? Or? Phial of cachous, kissing comfits, in her satchel. Yes? Hands felt for the opulent. Alas the voice rose, sighing, changed: loud, full, shining, proud. But alas, 'twas idle dreaming...

"What in thunder she wants that ole cuss fer I can't find out. She's drivin' me plum crazy." I explained. "That's it," said George. "It's bin Pap an' her money night an' day fer forty-eight hours. She wanted ter give him him, by Jing! her money." The doctor heard the story half an hour later.
It would mean disaster to both, with no one left to help. Say, I'm glad I'm big and strong. That's it, we'll stand by. You'll think, and I'll do what you tell me. By Jing!
