how the public interests were to be
subserycd by the investigation Of the
actions Of a Board that passed out of

jorlty of the meulb ers of which are
dead, nor what good it was supposed
would be accomplished by the publ

strikes US that the Board of which W.

prepared to decide as to whether he
discharged the duties of the Office
faithfully or not than the present
Board, and u decided that be had by
ordering bi1bond cancelled. To say
now thatthe was defaulter is to
charge that Board with either dishon.

we cannot believe that the gentlemen
who composed that Board would have
been guilty Of either.

A New Poem by Bryant.

At Sunday school reunion in Hart
lord the other night . Miss Maggie
Stevens read the following little poem
by William Cullen Bryant, which had
never before been Published
AS shadows cast by cloud and sun
Fit in the Summer grass.
So in thy sight, Almighty Oae,
Esrth's generations pass.
And when the years. an endless host,
Come pressing sweetly on,
The brightest names that earth can
boast
Just glisten and are gone.
Yet doth the star of Bethlehem shed
A lnster pure and sweet:
And still it leads, as once il led.
To the Messiah's feet.
o Father may that holy star
Grow every year more bright,
And send its glorious beams afsr
To fill the world with light.

Mark Twain's Military Expert
ence.

Mark Twain, in speech al the dinner
of the Ancient Artillery Company of
Hartford. the other day, described with
serious simplicity his military expert
ence i'll Missouri in the early days of
the war. His company of eleven men
were bivouscked in barn and waited
for the invader. We had . goal
enough time there st that barn, barring
the rain and the rats, and the mosqui-
toes and things. We lived on both par
ties impartially. and both parties hated
us impartialiy. But one day We heard
that the invader was approaching, so
we had to pack up and move. Inside
of twenty four hours the invader Was
coming again. 50 we moved again, and
next day he was after US once more.
We didn't like il much. but we moved
rather than to make trouble This went
on for week or ten days, and we saw
considerable scenery. Then Ben Tup-
per lost patience. He says, War is not
what it's cracked up to be. I'm going
home if can't ever get chance to SIT
down a minute There was mut,ny
and dissatisfaction all around. and. of
course. here came the enemy pestering
us again. two hours than two
hours-before breakfast. and nobody
wanted to turn out at that hour. / de-
tached one of my aids. and sent him to
the brigadier. and asked him to assign
US to district where there wasn't SO
mnch bother going on. He sent back
an indignant message. He said: Stay
where you are this time, or will court
martha! and hang the whole Of you
Said the orderly sergeant: IL Tom
Harris wants the enemy, let him come
here and get him. I haven't got any
use for my share. Who's Tom Harris,
any way. that's putting on so many
frills. l knew him when he wasn't
anything but telegraph operator.

As for me. I've got enough of this sash
