SUCCESS OF A STAR BoY.o
From TEE EVENING STAR of September 80. 1872

FROM THE EVENING STAR of September 80. 1879.
Among the successful competitors at the
Naval Academy during the recent examination
to nil the cadet engineershipwe notice the name
of VIII ]. Baxter of this city. During period
OF more than two years Cadet Baxter was
carrier Of THE EVENING STAR, and. by his energy
and the faithful performance of his duties in
sunshine and storm. secured the respect and
esteem OF The STAR and the patrons he served.
The energy displayed as a carrier boy he no less
manifested in the discharge of his duties In the
Office of Messrs. Gilmore 4 Co. of this city. i'm
whose employ he was when he secured per-
NIT to compete for a cadetship. During his
preparation for the contest. he worked faith
fully at his desk during the day: prosecuting his
studies at night. His untiring energy has Sc
cured the coveted prize, and we trust 1t will en-
able him to excel in his new role and meet the
success Ii deserves"
1.-THE foregoing appeared In The STAR of Sep
TENDER 80. 1879. and it is no small qualification
to announce that Cadet Baxter. formerly car
rier Of The STAR, has graduated with high
honors. Under the rules Of the Naval Academy
a cadet making over eighty-f1ve per cent In pro-
fieiency in his studies during the academic year
has STAR placed upon his uniform as a badge Of
distinction on account of such proficiency. Ca
Diet Baxter, on entering the academy applied
himself closely to his studies, and won star
the first year, and has remained STAR cadet
ever since, and has now graduated as No. 4 in
the order of merit in q class of nearly sixty
with more stars" in it than any class that has
heretofore graduated at the Naval Academy
In August last Congress abolished the grade
OF cadet midshipmen and cadet engineers
at the Naval Academy. and consolidated
the two grades In one and designated all as
naval cadets. Whether the change was wise
or unwise, so far as it affected those who entered
the academy under the former regulations. it
was sore disappointment to those who chose
either of the grades as their life profession on
entering the academy. and when they had nearly
completed the prescribed course of studies for
their special service were obliged to complete
the course upon studies for a branch OF tn SER
vice they had no taste for Had they known
before entering the academy the change would
have been made many of them would not have
entered it all The carrier boy" however ac-
cepted the situation. with redoubled energy ap-
piled himself to his studies and the result is he
has graduated very nearly the head of the COM
bined classes. His energy and determination to
succeed will doubtless lead to further successes |

TO the Editor Of TIE EVENING STAR:
VIII You suggest to your readers now In these
thirsty days the title of one Of Chas Reade's
books: s'Put Yourself in His Place." from the
nursing infant, whose hot swollen gums make
him grateful for a teaspoonful Of cool water,
which he 80 seldom gets, to the dog chained In
parched misery In back yards. His dish il often

Many do not know that water IL Q necessity to
cats. They resort to Ill sorts of Ingenious con-
trivance to get It when not regularly set Cor
them. Their drinks are astonishingly long and
appreclative. Cats have idiosynm1sies @ well
as people, and numbers Of them care very little
for milk. Kittens Of this sort often suiier So
verely before people, who try TO be wiser than
the cst-mothers, will give them the stronger
food they crave. A physician from Europe
recently remarked that the electricltyfr from cata,
kittens three or four months old best, can be
absorbed grain by grain by human beings. He
claims to have cured two bed-ridden people by
the constant application Of cats next the body
for several months; they, poor things, growing
wild-eyed and crazy unless changed every few
weeks. Any observing person can recall some
limp rag-like kitten who has not been abused,

Cats are not stupid. but can be taught almost

THE GROUNDS BOUGHT By THE GOVERNMENT
during the war for burial place for the colored
soldiers and their families and the poor fleeing
freedmen and refugees There being some dis
pute as to the rights of the government, the
trustees holding the government had only
bought grave sites. the government removed
the bodies OF the colored soldiers to Arlington
ana abandoned the grounds, and as no care
WnateveI mas been taken of 1t since, the tempo
rary head-ooards have nearly all been knocked
down and the graves all leveled.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE:
The colored people in their churches and pub
lie schools should raise fund and put up q
monument, and enclose the grounds the gov
eminent bought, and where the remains of so
many of their people lie buried.
We owe 1t to our heroic forefathers and
mothers to the colored soldiers and to ourselves,
to repair this great wrong. These grounds
should % enclosed and made beautiful, and
monument should be erected to the memory of
the now unknown) colored fathers and mothers,
sisters and brothers of the colored soldiers and
ourselves. This could easily be done without
much individual cost, and III the meantime the
trustees should remember that the government
has already paid them for the ground dearly,
and in abandoning1t did not lose its title. Gov
eminent officers cannot give away government
property.
There were many evidences of tender regard
ana sacred memory of the dead given by all
classes whose friends and relatives lie buried in
this cemetery; and were the Trustees-members
OF the association. or whatever and whoever
they are-to call the lotholders together and
show 1t Is not In the hands Of a few. bent upon
making money out of the distresses of the living
and corruption of the dead, am quite sure the
grounds would and could be speedily improved
and the present reproach removed; for, as at
present conducted, it is shame upon civiliza-
ton and to our community, a disgrace to the
management, and cruel injury and insult to
the living whose friends lie buried there: and
for the honor of the colOred people speedy
change should be made. LOTHOLDER.
