Complaint is made of the addition

Quartermaster General claims that
his branch Of the service has been
economically conducted, and calls
attention tC the expense and en-
barrassment consequent upon the
multitudes of accounts that have
to be kept. More officers are need
ed in the Quartermaster's service,
and its ranks should now be open
Ell to prom otion and appointment
through the enlistment Of post
quartermaster sergeants, who
would be very useful. AS it is, the
regular officers of the service are
not numerous enough to discharge
all its duties, and during the past
year over three hundred officers of
the line had to be used as assistant
ouartermasters. General Meigs
shows that certain railroad com
panies, principally in the south,
owe the government seven and a
half million dollars for material
sold them after tie war, and it is
impossible to get any money from
many of them. ID.

ASORAP OF HISTORY.

The following has been handed us by
gentleman of this city:
Captain VIM G.. keedy, a brave and
noble officer in the Confederate army,
when a student at Jefferson College,
PENNSYLVANIA. adopted As his motto:
"Ask no favor shrink from 40 respon-
sibliry."
Colonel George II. Kennedy, a meri
torous and gallant officer in the Union
army, while student at the same col
lege, at the same time, adopted as his
motto:
"Never say die p
During the war Kee ly lost an arm in
closely contested battle, was captured
and sent to prison
AS he passed into the prison, he no
ticed the gallant Colonel and saluted
him, saying, al ask no favor; shrink
from no responsibility"
Colonel Kennedy instantly replied,
ssThen never say die. Guards bring the
prisoner here
He entered his Office and assigned
desk to the Captain as clerk, which
was faithfully and honorably kept by
the captain until exchanged with other
prisoners of war. Into the Confederate
army again went the Captain, and nobly
battled for the Confederate cause, and
after receiving dangerous wounds. and
making many hair breadth escapes, sur
rendered with the confederate troops,
and is now a professor in Mississippi
college. The noble Kennedy sleeps IN
an honored grave Exchange.
PRESENCE OF MIND.-Prof Wilder
gives these short rules for action in
case Of accident: For dust in the eyes,
avoid rubbing, dash water into them;
remove c;nders, etc., with the rennd
point of lead pencil. Remove insects
from the ear by tepid water; never put a
hard instrument into the ear. II an
artery is cat, compress above the wound.
If vein is cut, compress below. If
choked, get upon all tours, and cough.
For light burns, dip the part in cold
water; if the skin is destroyed, cover
with varnish. Smother fire with car
pets, etc; water will often spread burning
oil, and increase the danger. Before
going through smoke, take full breath
and then stoop low, but if carbon is
suspect ID, then walk erect. Suck poi
son wounds, unless your mouth is sore.
Enlarge the wound, or better, cut out
the part without delay. Hold the
wounded part as long as can be borne to
a hot coal, or end of cigar. In case OF
poiseningt excite vomiting by tickling
the throat, or by water and mustard. For
acid poisons, give acids; in case of opium
poisoning give strong coffee and keep
moving. Fin water, float on the back
with the nese and mouth projecting. For
apoplexy, raise the head and body; for
fainting, lay the person flat.
