The TIGER iN THE SouL.-A gentle
man in India once raised tiger cub His
kindness seemed to eradicate the feroclty
Of its nature, end it grew up as a pet
One day its owner, being alono with it in
his library, caressed it, aud he gave it his
hand to lick. The rongh tongue Of the
animal grared the skin, and gave it the
first taste of blood. Then its ierocious
nature awcke. Fury cleaned from its
eyes. and crouehing itself, it made ready
to spring upon its master Fortunately
the gentleman had loaded pistol on his
table, and saved his life by shooting his
former pet.
Let this fact illustrate valuable truth.
Let the sleeping ferccity of the tiger,
walked by the taste of blood, stand for a
figure Of that sluubering passion in your
breast, which needs but taste of strong
temptation to rise into terrible life, and
break over tho feeble defences which O
maltreated conscience and pride OF char
acter may have built up in your soul te
protect its virtue. One moment of tri-
umphant passion may suffice to undue th'
work oi half lifetime. And you, hav,

The Conduct Of Military Ofioors
in Washington.

Statements made to Us yesterday, by
some oI the most respectable citizens Of
Capitol Hill, concerning recent doings of
the military officers at Capitol Hill bar
racks, which, if correct, are sufficient to
excite the disgust and indignation Of every
man, woman aud child possessing grain
OF common sense and single spark of
humanity. The most prominent and dis
gusting Of these acts are said to have been
with ssed by large number of residents
in that vicinity on Saturday evening. We
give the stories as they arc told to US:
A soldier of Company II, Eighteenth
Veteran Reserve Corps, (hc regiment
stationed III that barracks y banned Chris
tophcr Eldcgbrand, visited the Twentieth
Corps for the purpose Of seeing friend,
became intoxicated, and did not return TO
she barracks ia season to answer to roll
call, Cons, qnently, Mt six o'clock on
Saturday evening Eideibrand was sus-
pended by the thumbs 10 a rcunl of a
ladder placed with one end Oh the ground
and the other against the caves of the bull
dings. lio was KEEP. suspended until IF
teen minutes to nine o'clock. After two
hours of suffering, the cries cf Elder
brand (who is alb ut seventy years OF age)
we're SO loud and heart.reud rg that a
gag wa, placed in his mouth to suppress
the noise.
The cries Of the sufferer sxcited the wife
Of Lieutenant in the barracks to such q
degree that sh threatcned to cut the man
down herself if no other person would.
Vnoso Who were present and saw Elder
brand taken down say hat the blood is
sued from both his nose and mouth
Yesterday morning the two citizens
whom we have uentiouec above as having
made remarks concerning the punishment
were before Col. j ohm 'on, the commando
Of the regiment, one OF them having bee:
taken there under arrest. Col. Johnsou
charged them with inciting the crowd +
riot, and ordered one to report at fixe'
time, and the other when Notified.
The one, however, who was taken be
fore the coonol under guard, yesterday
called on Secretary Stanton, and laid tn
) facts before him.
The Secretary called in Gen. Fry, ant
requested him to investigate the case.
The Secretary then dispatched ccu-
ier With an order from Col. johnson, re
curing the release Of the gentleman VIII
called on him from arrest, with which os
der the Colonel is said to have complied.
While in conversation with the Score
tary Of War, this gentleman also informe
him that a soldier had been confined i
the guard house of the barracks for thre
months, lacking few days, end had bee
lying very ill for the most part Of the la'
month of his confinement, having bee
deprived Of the services of physician
and, until within the past few day
still remaining in tho guard house. Thi
the Secretary said, should be also inves
tigated.
The folks in the neighborhood testii
that it is general practice of these off
: GERS TO place men for the slightest offence
; in the street with ladder around the
necks, and to compel them to carry it f
two hours at time.

preclate the motives of your despa.ch.--
Both you and Mr.. Stanton sent me warn

One would think that a thrust like
this woeld penetrate the rhinoceros skin
OF the hurley Secretary but it only had
the effect of raising the writer of it in

bave it announced by telegraph that the

his heroic legions The man whom Hal
