THE GENERALS ADVENTURES.

From the Adrian Times and Expositor.
In 1868. the Eighteeeth and the Twenty
second regiments of Michigan infantry were
stationed at Lebanon, KY, under command,
with other regiments, of Mai. Gen. NJ. ID.
Mansen, of Indiana, a bitter democrat 1t
had been rumored that both of the regi-
ments mentioned above had done good
deal of business in the way of aiding and
abetting -contrabands" il absenting them
selves from their masters. The Kentucky
slave owners, just then, had spasm of
loyalty, and Gen. Mansen decided to take
and restore to them any human chattels of
tn eirs that he could find in his command
The Eighteenth and the Twenty second
were the two regiments which were sus
pected of having sinned the most in this
direction, and from the known spirit of the
men, the general con inan:iing feared
trouble, and took the prccaution of having
other regiments and battery of artillery
in position to quell any symptoms of mu
tiny. The Michigan boys, however, had
received assurances from the officers and
men of the other regiments that they need
have no fears of what they would do in an
emergency. but without knowing this, Gen.
Mansen began the search, which he deter
mined should be exceedingly thorough.
Col. Dean of Ann Arbor was in com
mand of the Twenty-second regiment. He
had q lot of sick men in a railway Car,
covered with blankets, and when the search
for ''contrabands" began Gen. Mansen
strobe into this car to personally assist in
the search. He was followed closely, but
did not know it. by Col. Dean. The gen
eral saw lot of reclining figures covered
with blankets, and thought, probably, here
was where the artful Michiganders had
concealed their dusky proteges In the
dim light in the car he could not tell white
from black, and proceeded to pull down
blanket the better to ascertain the fact.
He had grasped the first blanket when he
was saluted by vigorous kick in the rear
and heard the voice of Col. Dean roaring:
you scoundrell Steal blankets from sick
men, would you2" Then the kicks came
faster and more furious, and the vocifera-
ton more angry. Gen. Mansen was kicked
the length of tie car and out of the rear
door, when the Colonel, as his command
ing officer emerged into the better light on
the platform, saw the mistake he had
made my goodness. general, who would
have thought it was you? | declare! Well,
general, if you will say nothing about it,
I won't.
And Gen. Mansen never told the story,
and the search revealed no darkies.

the paper is in pulp. Two notes are
placed in a mold when they are in pulp

THE printing ink is also made at the

the heavier figures. After printing, the
notes are numbered by a machine, which,
unlike a man, cannot err, and lastly are
indorsed by the Secretary. The bank
notes are printed in type on the side of
the paper that receives the water mark,
and even in the event of the note being
split, another of the forger's favorite
tricks, the imprinted surface would only
retain a slight trace of the type and
water marks.

MILAN. Nnv- ) 1899

MILAN, Nov. 5, 1882.
To the Editor of the ARGUS.
When we first heard that Col. McClain
had Topped over to the Morris faction we
were leah to believe it, but as it is now
confirmed we are curious enough to ask
some questions. If until quite recently
Morris was unfit for the office of sheriff.
and now is just the man for the place, at
what particular time did that change take
place? 1t certainly was not when he paid
his fine for unlawfully selling whisky. for
that was in 1871. And what was the COM
ponent parts of the cleansing balm and
who applied it? Was it those henchmen of
Morris that ran the county over telling that
Ankrum kept Perkins books and was a
id thief. Did you conceive the idea of
going back on Ankrum at the time
he gave you the deputyship and you were
denouncing those fellows in the strongest
terms that you could, and jim Ballard
for signing up the Andalusia returns so
they would be thrown out. Yours is only
a petty affair compared to Bob Ford's, but
it serves us as a reminder. Jesse James
took him IN, cared for him and presented
him with fine revolver, and Ford watched
his opportunity when James was unarmed
and stealthily, sneakingly and cowardly
stole behind him and murdered him. OF
course, sir, you cannot shine with Ford on
the stage, but as most organ grinders are
accompanied by a monkey to take in the
pennies, you might, with Ford's consent,
tack yourself to his coat tail for the amuse
ment of small children.

the poor carver is in sore trouble, and
is sure to send exactly the portion mo- t
disliked. 1t is a long standing and prop
or rule that persons at table should tell
the carver when asked what portion Of
meat he is carving they desire. Those
who fail in this respect do so ignorantlv
and under the impression that they are
making matters smooth for the carver,
when on the contrary they are confus-
ing him. But it is with chickens that
the fun OF the poor carver is at its hight.
Everybody wants breast, and the mod
ern chicken is put up with the very
slimmest allowance of that. Let there
be a reform here. 1t is well under
stood that it is perfectly allowable for
the carver to retain the tidbits of what
he carves for himself by way of reward
for his hard work For instance, the
kidney of the lamb belongs to him.
There is another reason why this is so,
or should be SO. The carver cannot al

study of the bindings alone would make

a library of books, if it has not much be-

other women, they have also had superior

Individuality of NEWSPAPERS.

Every newspaper man knows there Is
no other such delicate and sensitive
commodity as news. There is nothing
else that depends so largely for value
upon the source whence il emanates.-
There is nothing which comes before
the public on which the ''label'' is ST,
carefully scrutinized. Newspapers have
characters as various as the individuals
who conduct and control them. 1t Is
just as true now as it was in the morn
ing of the Christian era, that ''nen do

not only depends upon the label the
name of the journaljn which it appears
but upon the character for truth and
