"privatts Of the regular army:
Toe officer in question was a colonel
whose regiment ls stationed near New
port. Rhode Island. " Well, General"
says the colonel 10 the Secretary, Il
have received your order commanding
me 10 leave the hotel at Newport, ana
take up my quarters with the regiment
at The barracks" 81 am glad to hear
IT, replied General DAVIS. II hope
the order will subject you TO no

Indignantly " why, sir, the place Is IA

lor'nbly situated. | have rot been

your order seems 10 imply. | am IL

" All, indeed" calmly rejoined the
Secretary, you have been living in
ease and splendor While the poor
soldiers have been cooped up in Il
" living tomb OF misery and unhcalIhi-
ness = you couldn't endure the place

duty of an office TO look after the
welfare and comfort oil those under his
command. have held office in the
army, aud always considered 1t my
duty to partake o. the hardships as well
AS the glorles of my companions in arms.
If therefore, the barracks near Newport
are tit for your regiment TO live in,
presume they are tit for you. to represent
them, you have certainly been neg ligent
in not reporting the fact to this depart
ment so that the soldiers could have
been removed from that" living tomb
OF misery and unhealthiness. And
Until you make such a report, | shall
make no change IN the order oil which
you complain"
The colonel, IN n periec rage, depart
ed unceremoniou,ly at this stage OF the
intervrew.-The probability is, that the
next time he makes d pilgrimage TO the
War Department, to plead for hls own
ease aud comiorI, he will bring with
him some kind words in behalf ol the
poor soldiers.
This is the best thing we have seen
in relation TO the regular army, for a
long time Let Secretary Davis now
take up the punIshments in the army,
and reform some OF the abuses in that
matter and he will deserve well of his
countrymen. - SOuih-Side Democrat

RAILROAD CrEvEs.-A correspondent
of the Railroad Record is Of opinion
that curvature on railroads is the main
cause OF accidents, whether BY collision
or otherwise. Straight lines must, in
the end be adopted, and though at first
more expensive, they are in the end
more economical, and are certainly
safest Curves, the writer contends,
should be limited BY law, and states that
one degree curve, or ), $50 feet radius,
offers as much resistance 10 n train as
grade Of 10 feet 10 the mile. Two
degrees equal 10 feet degrees equa
20 feet 1 degrees equal % feet; D
degrees equal 30 feet 6 degrees equal
50 feet that is if a SIX degree curve be
located upon a level, 1t offers the same
resistance to tain as would grade
Of thirry-fve ieet 10 tho mile on
straight line. The writer contends
that railroad at the present time ;hat
will not Dear the expense Of making it
straight had better be postponed until
the Iunds are raised, as evidently 1t Is
too soon for the community for which
tits intended.

that he had ucceeded admirably, and
proposed that the question Of resem-

which was agreed to. Accordingly the
picture was sent to the hotel OF the
lady the next day, and large party
assembled 10 witness the iest The dog

was actually so, the artist having rubbed
