a Procession of Dead men.

A strange funeral procession arrived at
Santa Fe one day last week. There were
twenty freight wagons in the procession.
and each wagon was hearse loaded with
the remains Of soldiers in different stages
Of decay. These had been buried one by
one, ranging through period Of several
years, at Fort Craig, and recently the re-
mains were ordered removed to the Gov
ernment cemetery at Santa Fe. The bod
les were exhumed, packed in gunny
sacks, and each one labled, Just like sacks
Of ore. Only one body, that of Lieuten-
ant Drew, was transported in a coffin
The officer perished of thirst OIL the JOr-

mains when exposed to inspection at San
Ia Fe, presented a rather natural appear-
ance. The tongue, or what remained of
II, still protruded from the mouth. eyi-
dence the suffering before his horrible
death. In this singular and ghostlv pro-
eesslon were one hundred and forfv bod
les. The wagons discharged their skele-
tonic freight in the Government cemetery.
and each gunny sack and contents were
dropped into separate grave. There
were no religious or military service or
ceremonies, and the men hired to accom-
pany the procession tossed the sacks of
bones about with as little care and feeling
as they would boxes of merchandise. 4

A Goat story.

For some time past the clerks at the sta
ton on Fourteenth and Main streets,
Louisville, KY, have been annoyed by
goats that infest that locality. Not salts
fed with the other devilment these
sly rascals are guilty of they chew all the
tags off the cotton bales sent there for
shipping, thereby causing a great deal of
trouble in shipping the cotton.
The other day the clerks surrounded
about dozen of the goats and succeeded
in driving them into box car alongside
the platform and fastened the door. That
night there was carload OF goats going
north, hitcned to a freight train. The car
was left at indianapolis, and the next
morning the door was thrown open and
the goats rushed out aud made a raid
through town, upsetting and budtfng
clerks, hands, boxes, bales, etc., as theF
escaped. Not being apprised of the ship
meut by way bill, the Indianapolis clerks
chased them all over town, endeayoring
to catch them, of course believing the
company would have to pay for them as
lost freight is they were not caught.
BY night all were caught and put back in
the car a dispatch was sent to the sta
ton man in Louisville:
'4Send on your way bill. Got all the
goats. A dispatch was sent back in re-
pip: "Don't want any. Let 'em 90. y
The race in Indianapolis was said to be
very exciting.

New Y ork Tribune: The fates are agaillsts
our Roscoe. Some enemy of his has
brought to light an old story about John
G. Calhoun, to the effect that when he
was a candidate for the Presidency he was
induced to visit on old negro woman who
had local reputation as a prophet. After
examining the lines of his hands, she said:
"Massa Calhoun, you nor no other man
whose name begins with c, can be Presi-
dent of the United States.'' 1t is also
recalled that the failure of Mr. Calhoun,
Mr.. Crawford, Mr.. Clay, and Mr.. Cass
have confirmed this prediction. This
seems ominous to Mr.. Conkling. He might
begin his name with K or d, but it is
doubtful if his prospects would be bene-
fitted thereby.
