My Dear Gen.-Lest your peace of mind

wanted to create sensation. The same is
true about John Sherman intriguing to be

he would not accept the place, as he pre-

YOU will spend with me Il peaceful and happy
week of holidays. This letter may be super
fuous, but the emphatic repetition of the wild
| rumor in the st. Louis Republican suggested
to me the propriety of my correcting any i'm
preston it made on you. No serious changes
in command are being contemplated, and
when they are you may be sure will give you
earliest notice. There are men of mischiev-
Gus intent who would gladly sow seeds of dis
sention among US Of The army.
Truly your friend,

Cast a Line for Yourself.

A young man stood listlessly
watching some anglers ON a bridge.
He was poor and detected. At last,
approaching basket filled with
wholesome looking fish he said,
YEARLY
If now had these, | would be
happy. / could sell them at fair
price and buy me food and lodging :
Il will give you just as many and
Just as good fish," said the owner,
who chanced to overhear his words,
''If You do me a trifing favor"
"And what is thatg' asked the
other.
"Onlv to tend to this line till l
come back; | wish to go on short
errand."
The proposalwas gladly accepted.
The old man was gone so long that
the young man began to get impa-
tient. Meanwhile the fish snapped
greedily at the baited hook and the
young man lost all his depression in
the excitement of pulling them in,
| and when the owner returned, he
had caught a large number. Count
I ing out from them as many as were
in the basket, and presenting them
Ito the Young man, the old fisherman
said:

you see others earning what you

The Whitaker Case.

The inquiry into the alleged NAL
treatment of Whitaker, the colored
cadet of West Point, has resulted
disastrously for him. The testimo-
nv convicts him of having written
the letter of warning to himself, and
having inflicted upon himself the
injuries which caused the investiga-
ton and which, by the ways were
greatly exaggerated. His supposed
object was to escape examination al
the approaching exercises, and al
the same time to create public sym
pathy in his behalf at the expense OF
the white cadets toward whom ne
bore grudge for looking in his face
to see the color of his skin. The
court in summing up the case said
Opinion-After strong array OF
circumstantial evidence from the eX
perts in handwriting, and from the
conflicting statements of Cadet
Whitaker, and the lack of veracity
eyinced by him in certain cases du-
ring the inquiry, as shown by the
evidence, the court is of opinion
that the imputation upon the char
acter of Cadet Whitaker, referred
to in the order convening the court
in the official reports of the com
mandant of cadets and the post sur
geon, is fully sustained.
When the report was sent to Gen
eral Schofield, and carefully read by
him, he caused a letter to be addres
sed to Col. Lazelle, commandant o
the corps of cadets, directing the ar
rest of Whitaker and placing hin
in confinement in his room. Th'
order was promptly carried out
and Whitaker will remain unde
arrest until this case is disposed OF
and guard will keep him unde
surveillance.
