Thinking 1t was one of my wife's
lady friends come to make call, |
answered with all possible haste.
II was not one of my wife's lady
friends.
1t was tall, angular man, Of about
40 summers, and more winters. He
was attired in a tight-fltting cutaway
out,at the elbows. He wore Thirteenth
Century hat Of that class commonly
known as stove-pipe." His pants
very muchly bellied at the bottoms,
were much too short for him, disclosing
very adyantageously to view No. IL
gaiter. His coat was buttoned up to the
chin, leaving casual observer very
much in doubt as to whether he had on
a cOllar,-Or shirt, for that matter.
He was daubed from head to foot with
bright carmine ink.
"Good morning, cir" he said in sill
very tones. TT was five O'Clock in the
afternoon. "Nice day"
Good afternoon, sir" answered in
forbidding tones.

He pulled from one pocket fiat
piece of something covered with the

person. From another he pulled little

his kite ; Darius Green may have had his

may have had his little hatchet; but the
man who invented this had his little

Then he began. He stamped 1t on the
new wallpaper; on one of the copies
of Hogarth which had cost me $27.26
(and Igot itcheap), completely running
one of the Hudibras plates.
"Nice thing for marking books.

He stamped the family Bible from be-

The following report was submitted
to the House of Representatives by Mr..
McCOok, of the Committee on Military
Affairs:
The Committee OH Military Affairs,
to whom was referred the bill (H. r.
4O07) for the relief of Private William
Hines, Company F. Eighteenth United
States Infantry, having had the same
under consideration, submit the follow
ing report:
I ne evidence is conclusive that Hines
was a member of the company and
regiment referred to, and that he lost
his trousers and blanket by fire on or
about the 1lth day of October, A. D..
1876, while serving with his command
at Aiken, S. q.
The time, place and circumstances
under which this loss occurred deserve
much more than mere passing notice.
1t was the year of the Presidential cleo
tlon, and but one brief month prior to
the time when the freemen of the re-
public were called upon to cast their
ballots for the men, or rather the electors
of their choice. The air was filled with
the eloquence of orators both North and
South, who spoke and lahored for the
success Of their candidates. The pro-
priety, not to say the constitutionality,
of the presence of Federal troops in the
Southern section of our beloved country,
was a question that entered largely into
the discussions of the day.
Upon this subject there was then, as
now, great difference of opinion, and
without committing themselves upon

"they were damaged toV
value" amounting to $S.G5.
Your committee also find that q
same Board expressed the opinion than.
the fire was accidental; "that id
originated at the top of the tent" and|
"that no one was to blame" There is
no direct testimony upon this point, but
1t is fair to assume that Hines was lying
down in his tent enjoying needed re-
pose after days labor in asserting
and maintaining the sovereignty OF the
General Government. 1t is true that
those who seek to hold him responsible
refer to the general and careless use of
the pipe by our weary warriors, and
others have attempted to account for
the catastrophe by calling attention to
the dangerous habit of soldiers carrying
matches In their trousers pockets.
Both of these theories, although
plausible, are rejected by your COM
mittee; and after patient investigation
they are of the opinion that the fire
originated In some unaccountable man.
ner, If, as is altogether probable, Hines
was recumbent in his tent, the conclu-
sion is almost irresistible that he had
dlsrobed and placed his blouse and
trousers on the convenient and useful
cracker-box; the progress Of the flames

A Governor WHO Don't Believe in
Blank Cartridges.

The Governor Of Kansas does not believe
in blank cartridges in times ofElwlessness.
Tidings reached Topeka the other day that
IN armed body Of sevcnty-tive strikers had
taken possession of the railroad tracks be-
tween the station and the river, and were
planning an attack upon the machinc-shops.
The police were h,rriedly reinforced, and
a company OF militia was ordered ont and
furnished with arms at the capitol. The
Cove: nor reviewed the militia and made
this speech: IL need only call your atten-
ton to yourdnty rs guardians ofthe peace.

well said. The men went to their station
and sent out pickets, and the strikers quick
iy fell back. The Governor telegrapEed du
ing the night TO several points for militia,
and ei1ectually protected the property of the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad.
