A SOLDIER IN LUCK.

Some months ago a young German
under the assumed name of Chas Klein.
his right name being Edward Kuehl-
than, was serving as a private in Co. 3,
of the Third Cavalry. One day he ac-
cidentally saw in newspaper that he
was wanted, and that letters were wait
ing for him at Cleveland, Ohio He
sent on for information, and found that
his mother had died, leaving him a for
tune Of $4,000 forins, or $50, 900 in
gold. He at once set about procuring
his discharge from the army, and sue
ceeded. He then went to Omaha, and
took the proper steps to securing his
legacy. A few days since he received
a check for a portion of it, and he ex-
poets to get another portion within a
few weeks. A part of the property,
owing to it being rented, cannot be sold

Wise Mems Biunders.

Some very amusing additional blum
ders have been found in the new re
vlsed statutes. The chapter upon the
War Department has many serious er
rors. The following laws have been
omitted from the revision: The law
which authorized the President to as
sign an acting chief to amilitary bureau;
the law which allowed whisky TO fatigue
parties In certain cross-cases; the law
which made beans a part of the army
ration; the law which forbids the draw
ing of government checks TO bearer:
the law which fixed the first assistant in
the Ordnance Bureau; the law which
defined the duties of certain clerks in
the War Department. The statutes
also give the President the right to APP
point two-and-one-ha half persons TO the
Military Academy every year, and pro-
vide that a militia man must appear
upon parade with matchbox, a GER
tain number of fiints, and pair of bull
let-molds.

MILWAUKEE, April lin Analysing
the character of Milwaukee, citizens,
end one of its most distinctive traits to
be charity-that sweet charity which
Avon's bard says
Ii twice blessed;
1t blesseth him that gives, and him that takes, -
which "falleth like the gentle dews
of Heaven, on the rich and poor alike. .
In referring to this characteristic of oul
people, and attempting to enumerate
the many evidences in the city of sub
stantial work in this direction, one is
amazed at the number of eleemosynary
institutions, and the perfect system
which the benevolently inclined have
perfected for delicately performing
their blessed work. Your readers are
of course aware of the presence here OF
the more famous hospitals and benevo-
lent institutions, among which may be
mentioned the Home for the Friendless,
St. Roses Orphan Asylum, ST Emil
anus Asylum. the Bethel Home, the
Industrial School, &c, but few outside
of our city know of the noble deeds be-
ing performed daily, In less ostenta-
tious way, by number of the best la
dies of our city, who seem to be com
missloned with the self-lmposed task OF
administering to the wants of the un-
fortunate and destitute. There are com
paratively few of this class among us,
and during the past severe winter very
little extreme suffering has been no
ticed, and when noticed promptly re
lleved and this fact tends all the more
to the glory of those good Samaritans,
whose generous hearts do not require,
as incentives to charitable deeds, those
scenes of squallid misery and gaunt
starvation so common in other large
cities. Our people are exceptionally
frugal and industrious, our business men
are prosperous and financially sound,
public improvements are made only as
the requirements of the community de-
mand them, and all transactions, public
as well as private, are conducted on
perfectly sound and economical princi
pies. Hence our prosperity and general
freedom from that curse of metropolitan
towns, an unsupportin and unproduc-
tive mendicant element And while
speaking of Milwaukee's good traits
and the excellenceies of her productions,
we must not omit to mention one which
probably extends her renown to more
remote and diverse localities, and which
receives more responsive and cordial
reception, than any other of her many
boasts. ] refer, of course, to

The Violet as a BOnapartist Emblem.

The Sport, speaking of this flower as
the symbol of one of the political par
ties IN France, narrates the following
The adoption Of the emblem dates from
the first years of the Restoration, and
was due to an inspiration of Mile. Mars,
the celebrated actress of the Theatre
Francois. She was a Bonapartist, and
did not disguise her opinions, so that
shortly before the Hundred Days, while
playing in new place, she appeared
with bouquet of those flowers IN her
bosom. The incident caused great ex-
element in consequence of the recollec-
ton attached to the violet, which was
in season when Napoleon returned from
Elba, at the end OF March, and the pop
ulatiOn of Paris at once associated the
flower III the homage with which they
welcomed the return of the exile. The
day after the arrival Of the Emperor in
Paris every buttOnhoie was decbed with
it, and ladies wore it in their waist
bands and IN their bonnets. That cir
cumstance was the starting point of the
political meaning of the violet, but the
bold manifestation of Nile. Mars liked
the meaning of the symbol.
