STILL ANOTHER COLORED CADET,
Not Negro Minstrel this Time.

The cadets at West Point have been
studying over recent acquisition, col
ored man, andhave decided not TO bonnco
hlm. Some think that the reason tho
new cadet is not bounced is because he
Is able to whip any dozen white cadcts.,
IN the place. In such q case it is ipiu-
dlclous to haze q colored man. Uozinp
Is good amusement when the crowd can
lump into small cadet and torture him.
but when a cadet is six footcl, broad Of
shoulder and strong of limb, who oan
take a platoon of ordinary cadets and
tie them up in punches like radisbes
the fun Of hazing is not visible to the
ordinary cadet. But there are other
reasons why the new colorc8 cadet is
treated as gentleman. He is a gentle.
man. His skin is dark, but he is kind

brave as lion, and rs well educated rs

tic does not put OH any Mrs because lie
is colorcd man, and does not ask any
iavors, or protection, either socially or
III the line of his duties. Ho is not q
negro minstrel. The trouble with
Whitaker and clipper, tho other two
colorcd cadets who were bounced, was
that they wcro colored dudes, regular
summer hotel walters, who Thought thew
must wear their hats on ono side. and
appear like the spoiled children of COL
ored washwomen. The white cadets
dlsllked these minstfels from the first.

but they do it, while the colored cadets
got on their dignity. They did not come
there to be servants, and humility had
to be beat into them, and because they
would not submit to discipline, which is
the first thing soldier has to learn
they were finally fired out. The new
colorcd cadet, Alexander by name, is
different sort of q colorcd man. He has
gone there the same rs white boy

"Gcntlemen, anything you say it is
my duty to do, I will do and however
Illuminating it is, l will never kick, but
II lind you have compelled me to do
humiliating things that it was not my
place to do I shall be displeased, and

he does not presume upon his color to
pull him through his examination with
ont study, as Flipper and the other
minstrel did, but he will study night
and day, and conquer. His example
could be safely followed by many white
young men. A year from now no cadet
ut West Point will he more respected
both by officers, cadets and visitors,
than the coored young man, who goes
there student, instead of n song and
dance man, and who seeks cducntion,
and not notoricty. Success to the colored
cadet, and may he throw the first crowd
that attempts to haze him into the Hud-
son river.-Pcck's San.

The Hill Investigation.

The Hill investigation was resumed this
morning. Homer Campbell, stone cutter,
was sworn. Witness had worked upon pub
lie buildings at New York, Boston and Phil
adelphia; was employed upon the public
building at Philadelphia during the month of
August, 1880, and from the memoranda which
he made at the time stated that he cut 10 feet
and 6 inches of stone in thirty days and was
paid at the rate of SO 25 per day. He was
employed ten days upon one stone which
measured six feet and three inches.
Stinemetz was recalled and testified that
for the stone described by Campbell the gov
ernment paid to the contractors S272 &c,
while they paid Campbell but S22 so, a net
profit to them of S239.76. Campbell was
paid bv them for his entire work Sl02, while
they charged the government and received
under their contract with Mill SSH, a net
profit to them on the work of this man of
S745.
Mr.. Coleman stated that he could not go
further upon this branch of the case until
Stinemetz had concluded his computations
This led to a long and spirited controversy
between the council upon the request for
more time, pending which it was suggested
that the commission visit Boston and other
cities for the purpose of taking testimony.
Without deciding whether they would accept
the affidavits in evidence, or visit different
points to take testimony, the committee at

BOWDOINHAM.

Bowdoinham, though small place, is quite
busy one the present spring, and more bus
| iness is being done here than for some time
past. One of the most fiOurishng industries
in town is the fertilizer establishment and
gristmill of Mr.. j. NJ. Kendall. Mr.. Kendall S
power is furnished by tide water wheel.
During the past year he has ground and sold
$4,000 bushels of corn; also sold 200 tons of
bran and 100 tons of fine feed. The fertilizers
which he manufactures are second to none in
the market. Three different varieties are
manufactured. His phosphate is made of
fine ground bones and fish waste. During
the winter nine men were employed. So fast
has Ills business increased that the erection of a
new mill, an addition to the old one. is in con-
temptation. Mr.. Kendall has manufactured
and sold 200 tons of his fertilizer this year.
Farmers speak very highly of it and say that
| there is no commercial fertilizer in the mar
ket that is better. Mr.. Kennall has been con-
ducting quite extensive farming operations on
his ow n account and has been verv successful

There has been a small catch of shad this
season but the fish have been of extra quality
and higher than usual. Fishermen complain
that the practice of throwing sawdust from the
mills into the river, stops the fish from com

Cathance river the present season and 81 in
the entire town. Each weir averages about 75

RUMORS FROM CROOK.
The Hostiles Breaking Up-MexicO's
Assistance Lukewarm.

WILCOX, Arizona, June IL.
From some Americans just arrived from
Nacori, Sonora, the following is learned.
The hostiles are scattered for a distance OF
40 miles along the Sierra Madres. A small
body of bucks is making for the north, while
the rest of the hostiles are in small bodies
working their way south toward the Cult.
Grave apprehension is felt in the vicinity of
Nacori on account of maraudng bands being
frequently seen in that vicinity. Many
women and children are trying to gain the
reservation in small bands. These gentle
men did not see Gen. Crooks command. but
were within 30 miles from his camp. They
state that Gen. Crook had no fight with the
hostiles, but that the Indians retreated before
him. They say the rainy season will soon
begin and then it will be impossible for the
troops to move in the mountains, owing to
the swollen mountain streams. They also
state while the Mexican authorities desire
that the hostiles may be driven out of their
country, there is jealously existing at the
presence of armed foreign troops on Mexican
soil, and that the Mexican military authori-
ties will render very lukewarm aid. if indeed
any, A large military supply train arrived
today from the line, and will be loaded and
at once return to Silver Creek the base of
supplies. They report no news from Gen.
Crook since he crossed the line, but are ex-
pected to see him or detrchment from his
command daily, as he will soon need sup
plies.
TOMBSTONE, June IL.
messenger from the Chiricahua brings
information to the Epitah that Gen. Crook
has returned from his expedition and is en-
camped on Silver Creek at the south head of
the Chirica, where he arrived Yesterday at
ternoon. Sixty miles southest of this place
.sl y,~.,
and were brought in by Gen. Crook, who re-
crossed the line last Saturday. Among the
prisoners were 75 bucks. 1t is believed that
Gen. Crook will return and endeavor to cap
ture the warriors. His command is in good
fighting trim. There has been no casualties
so far. The Joyce-Cashman party has re-
turned to Gusymas from Lower California.
They report no truth in the recent stories of
gold discoveries in that region.
