skobeleT the white General.
The Spectator.

He had delicate, handsome face" a
fair beard, blue eyes, dark hair. He
looked like an Apollo as he rode into bat
tie ION a white horse, and dressed in a
white coat" is practice which won him
among the Turks the title of Akh Pasha,
or the White Generally ''lOoking as
though he had come dressed for ball. is
not a battle the soldiers ballY he asked
some one. Now. at least, l feel happy.'''
He was described as Fighting like an en-
sign" The answer given was, ''Yes, but
he does not hide himself like a General"
He was always in the thickest of the rain
Of bullets and shrapnel, cheering on his
men, and showing the way to the
enemy's batteries. But though he was
careless of himself, he was always care
full of his men. His division was al
ways the best provided with fur coats,
with soup, tea, and ''corn brandy" He
refused TO have anything to do with the
Commissariat Department, and made each
regiment do its own cOmmissariat. Some
one suggested that the commanding Off
GERS might embezZle. His answer was:
eff my men get as much bread and meat
and tea and brandy as they want; if there
are no complaints lodged against my Off
GERS; if the inhabitants of the district are
satisfied, let them embezzle, what do /
carer" After the famous passage of
the Balkans, in which Skobeleff and
his division played the first part, when
they passed in review before the Grand
Duke sin splendid condition, while
the other divisions looked pale and
starved" the Grand Duke exclaimed:
''What red-faced fellowsl One can see
they are well filed. Thank God that some,
at least, do not look like corpsesw Flog-
ging and cutting appear to prevail still in
the Russian army. Skobeleff would have
none of it in his division. He told one of
his favorite Colonels, who was beating
soldier, that if he found him doing it again
he should dismiss him. After Plevna, one
of his men was ordered by his Colonel to
be logged. The man appealed to Sk0be-
left, confessed his crime, and asked for
court martial. Skobeleff told him a court
martial would condemn him to death.
His answer was: s'We are all in Gods
hands. Every day of our lives we are
under fire here. / don't mind being shot,
but If am to be dIsgraced, your Excel
lency, l shall commit suicide"

An Army Scandal to be Ventilated.

1t is understood that the Court of In
quiry into the charges against Judge Ad-
yocate General Swain will devotion the
whole story Of the relations of the Army
Poker Club at Washington to the down.
fall Of several prominent and once re-.
spected officers. 1t has been SUSPECTED
that the Secretary of War only wanted an
opportunity like the present in order to
go to the bottom of that scandal. Some o f
the most conspicuous officers in the army
were connected with this Poker Club, and
they are accused Of having induced young
officers to play, and frequently got off with
large sums that these younger officers
could not afford to lose, and in eonse-
quence of which the temptation to dupIi-
cate pay accounts has sometimes been
too strong to resist.

AItr

time. my occupation In Kentucky
whittier returned in the latter part of
August.
During the ensuing winter, induced
by fi1isBivings which were increased by
legal consultation, l became alarmed
lest debut might be thrown on the
validity of our marriage by reason of
noncompliance with the laws of the
state where 1t occurred, for had learn.
ed that the laws Of Kentucky made a
license, certified by the clerk of the
county court AN indispensable requisite
of legal marrirge. After which telib-
Grafton, and with an anxious desire to
guard in the most effective manner
against any possible embarrassment re-
sulting from our position, for which l
alone was responsible, we decided that
the simplest, and at the same time the
sureSt, way was to repair to Penn,
sylvania and have another marriage
service performed. This was done In
presence OF witnesses, in the city OF
Pittsburg, in the E.onth of March, 1851,
but was not otherwise made public for
obvious reasons. 1t was solemnized
only to secure an indisputable validid-
ty, the first marriage being by my wife
and myself always held sacred. At the
mature age of fifty-fOur, do not de-
fend the wisdom or prudence of asecret
marriage, suggested by the ardor and
inexPerience of youth. But Its honor
and its purity were inviolate as l be-
lieve in the sight of God, and cannot be
made to appear otherwise by the wick
cd devices of men. 1t brought to me a
companionship which has been my
chief happiness from boyhood years to
this hour, and has crowned me with
whatever of success haye attained in
life.
My eldest child, a son, was born in his
grandmother's house on the 18th day of
June, 1851, in the city of Augusta, Me-,
and died in her arms three years later.
His ashes repose in the Cemetery of his
native city, beneath stone which re-
OOluo itto udL1c stiiu tuc ltlulIS VI Ills III
nOcent life. That stone, which had
stood for almost an entire generation,
has been recently defaced by brutal and
sacriligious hands.
AS candidate for the presidency,
knew that l should encounter many
forms of calumny and personal defam-
alton, but confess that did not ex-
pect to be called on to defend the name
Of a beloved and honored wife, who is
a mother and grandmother; nor did
l expect that the grave of my little
child would be cruelty desecrated.
Against such gross forms of wrong the
law gives no adequate redress, and ]
know that in the end my most effective
appeal against the unspeakable out
RACES which I resist must be TO the
noble manhood and noble womanhood
of America.
Very sincerely, yotlr friend,
JAAaTse Il. BLAINE.
