The Orleans Princes in the Union
Army.

General George B. Mcclellan con-
tributes to the February Century an en-
tertaining paper on Tine Princes of the
House of Orleans Of their connec-
ton with the Army of the Potomac, he
says: in August, 1861, the two BROTH
ers, accompanied by the Prince de
Joinville, sailed for New York. To-
ward the close of September they ar
rived in Washington, and the young
Princes at once received authority from
the President to enter the army as aides
de-camp. being permitted to serve
without taking the cath of allegiance,
and without paw; it was also understood
that they should be permitted to leave
the service should family or political
exigencies require it. They were borne
on the army register as Louis Philippe
dOrleans and Robert d Orleans, addi-
tional aides-de-camp in the regular
army, with the rank of captain, and
were assigned to the staff of the Major
General commanding the Army of he
Potomac. The Prince de Jo.nville ac-
cepted no rank, and simply accompan-
led headquarters, on the invitation of
the general commanding, as an anna
teur and friend. The position held by
these young gentlemen. as the
Prince de Joinville always designated
them-was not free from difficulties.
Princes who might at any time be called
upon to assume their places in the gov
eminent of q great nation, yet serving
in the army of republic whose cause
was not regarded with very friendly
eyes by the existing government of
their own country, they had many con-
Predictions to reconcile, many embar-
easements to overcome. Connected By
family ties with so many of the royal
families of Europe, always received by
them as of royal rank, the elder regard
ell by so many in France as the right
full heir to the throne, they could never
lose sight of the dignity OF their posi-
ton, while it was at the same time nee
essary for them TO perform their duties
in a subordinate grade, and to win the
confidence and friendship of their new
comrades, who were sure to weigh men
by their personal qualities and abilities,
not by their social position across the
Atlantic. Their task was accomplish
ed with complete success, for they gain
ed the full confidence, respect, and re-
gard of their commander and their
comrades. From the moment they en-
tered the service, they were called
upon to perform precisely the same du-
ties and in precisely the same manner
as their companions on the personal
staff of their commander.
''Soon after the beginning of the pen
insular campaign, the Princes were
strongly urged by their friends at home
to return at once to England, partly
to receive the large numbers of
their adherents expected to attend the
Exhibition OF 1862, and partly because
the French expedition to Mexico had
greatly strained the relations between
this country and France. They persis-
ted in remaining with the army until
the close of the Seven Days, and left
only when assured that the immediate
resumption of the attack on Richmond
was improbable. !"

Culture of the Hickory.

Mr. G. W. Bailey, of Wellington,
Kas., who has had good success in
raising walnut trees, reports his ex-
gard to preparing the ground and
planting, he says: The nuts must be
gathered as soon as ripe and planted
as follows: The ground should be well
prepared by blowing deep-the deeper
the better, then well narrowed. Now,
with q commander, mark off both
ways Zone with the runners four feet
apart is the best). Then, with a two
horse plow furrow every other mark
east and west if the grove is to be
used for wind-break; if not, either
way will do; then drop one nut at each
crossing of the marker. Tramping on
the nut as dropped to settle it into
position is good plan. Cover with q
hoe as deep as potatoes are covered,
tramp on each hill This will leave
the trees four feet apart" After re-
marking the cultivation should be the
same as for corn, only continued dur
ing the season $50 long as the weeds
grow" he describes his way of coun-
teracting the tendency of the seedlings
to send out side branches: My ex-
perience in cutting them off the first,
second or third years after planting
was with grove of two acres that
were cut off close 10 the ground the
third winter after planting. The next
spring from six to dozen sprouts came
up from each tree; these Were let grow
till eight or ten inches long, then all
were broken off but the thriftiest one.
All did not start and grow at first; and
some that did threw out more shoots.
/ had 10 go over them three or four
times before they were in good shape.
This of course required considerable
labor. The first season they grew up
straight and nice from four to six feet,
but the following year the side-branches
came thick and fast with that peculiar
inclination the walnut tree has on high
prairie land of getting wider than its
height. Pruning is the only way to
make nice tree out of a walnut.
Still think the tree will pay for all the
labor bestowed on it -

How Davy Crockett Died.

[ see in the San an article entitled,
'He Knew Davy Crockett. in which
''Old Uncle Bogardusn is made to tell
some anecdotes of the Tennessee hunt
er. These may all be true, but the
closing sentenco, which tells of Crock
ett's life and death in Texas, is not
true.
Uncle Bogardus' says: Crockett
daring military exploits, he was finally
killed at Fort Alamo, in San Antonio de
Bexar. He was one of the six survivors
who, under promise of being spared, at
last surrendered, and were afterward
treacherously put TO death by Santa
Annals orders"
This is all mistake Crockett new
er had the opportunity TO perform any
daring military exploits" in Texas,
because there was no force Of Mexicans
east of San Antonio, and Crockett ar
rived there from the East just before
the Mexican army, under Gen. Cos, ar
rived from the West.
The Texas forces undertook to de-
fend the Alamo, solely TO enable Hous-
ton to collect an army that could meet
the two Mexican armies advancing into
the country. Every man who went
into the Alamo knew it would be his
tomb. No one surrendered. Crockett
was killed inside the walls while de-
Tending himself to the last, with his
trusty rifle used as club.
The only persons who surrender
ed" or were taken alive in the Alamo,
were Mrs. Dickinson and her infant
girl Angelina, afterward known as
THE Child of the Alamo" and anegro
servant, who belonged to or waited up
on Col Travis.
was one of the children in the Mis-
sion Refugio when it was taken, just
previous TO the fall of the Alamo, by
the other Mexican Army under Gen.
Urea, and saw the brave defenders of
the place shot down and lanced after
they had surrendered as prisoners of
war.
The stubborn defense of Alamo ena-
bled Houston to collect forces with
which he met and defeated the united
armies of Cos and Urea, under Santa
Anna, at San Jacinto.
The monument to the heroes of the
Alamo, plain shaft that stood in the
old State House at Austin, has inscrib-
ed on it the most expressive sentence in
the English language: "Thermopyle
had three messengers of defeat; the
Alamo had none"
have often talked with all three of
the survivors of the Alamo, and your
Uncle Bogardus" rs the first person l
ever heard of who said Crockett sur
rendered. He is mistaken.-E. H. N,

Mrs. Langtry's Diamond Ring.

The Washington Capital has this:
Mrs. Langtry while in this city re-
ceived a present of a diamond ring
valued at $4,000 This costly present
she added to her wonderfully rich
stock of jewels, many of which she
wore during her engagement here.
They were certainly the finest jewels
ever seen on the stage in Washington.
From what is said OF her in dramatic
circles, this is the last year she will
ever undertake an American tour.
While in the city last week Mrs. Lang
try took pains to send for the lady re-
porters on several newspapers, desiring
them to come to her car in Sixth street
and write up her beautiful dresses.
Some of them did call for that purpose
1t was impossible for the car to 90 to
Richmond on account of the difference
in the gauge of the railway, conse-
quently she refused to 60 there at all,
although all the arrangements had
been properly made" .,,- -;.,--,.

A Massachusetts book agent, who
was wearing small circular piece of
court-plaster on his face, removed it
while shaving a few mornings since,
and replaced it when his toilet was
complete. Contrary to his usual ex-
perience, as he went about his business
during the rest of the day he was
everywhere received with smiles, which
grew broader and broader, until at last
somebody laughed in his face. Led by
this to look in the glass, he was some
what taken aback to discover that, in
stead of the court-plaster, he had affix-
ed little round printed label, which
bad fallen from the back of new
mantel clock purchased the day be-
fore, and which bore the appropriate
inscription, Warranted solid brass

How a Canine Established His Own
erShip.

An unusual and novel case was tried
in Squire McCann's court the other af-
ternoon. The plaintiff in the action
Was Mr. William Shumake, and the de-
fendant was Fanny Jones, a colored
woman.
Some months ago Mr. Shumake re-
ceived from friend in Florida beau
tiful Esquimeau puppy. He became
greatly attached to the little animal.
and learned it a number of tricks,
which it would perform very graceful
". As time passed the puppy grew
into dog, and was the companion of
the children. In last October it stray
ed away from the house and was lost.
MIR. Shumake offered a reward for the
recovery of his pet, and few weeks
ago was informed that the dog was in
the possession of colored woman
named Fanny Jones. When he went
after it, however, the woman stated
that she had raised the dog, and refus-
ed to give it up. He accordingly in
stituted suit for its recovery. and the
trial came off before Squire Mccain.
The court was crowded and fully
twenty witnesses were examined. Dur
ing the entire trial the dog was in the
court room and occupied snug posi-
ton near the stove. He is very pref
ty little animal, with some white hair,
bright eyes and pointed ears. When
the owner was put on the stand he was
asked how he knew the dog was the
one he had lost, and he replied, by its
general appearance and on account of
a number of tricks he had taught the
animal to perform. In order to prove
the dogs identity more fully it was
suggested that the dog be told to do
the tricks in court, and accordingly the
canine was introduced as a witness.
When called by his master he rose lazi-
ly from his corner by the stove and
walked into the middle of the floor in
front of the judge. The experiment
was begun by telling him to stand on
his hind legs, which he did very read
lily. He then proceeded to go through
q regular performance at the word of
command. He waltzed around while
one Of tie crowd whistled, jumped
through hoop. sneezed, turned a
somersault, and finally stretched out
on the floor and feigned death. When
this was completed he walked back to
his old position, and, stretching out at
full length, placed his nose between
his paws and remained an apparently
interested spectator. The defense in
troduced some strong testimony to
show that the dog belonged to the wo-
man, and at the conclusion the attor-
ney pleaded the case eloquently. The
evidence introduced by the little ami
NAL however was too conclusive for
the Judge, and Mr.. Shumake walked
home in triumph with his dog under
his arm.-LouiSUilte Courier-J0uraal.

Arkansaw's Hot Springs.

he didn't say perdition; that isn't the
Arkansaw name for it. If the trapper

the total number under treatment in
the year Icing $500, of which about
27, 600 were men and $1,000 women,
showing that females are the most liza
BILE to insanity. That they are less in

fact that the average duration of treat

sound was heard, and then voice, evil
IDENTIFY that of some one in the room, said
care you three alone, sure ?"
The major, who cared for nothing in.
bodily form, struck match, and instantly
a crash was heard, and low, smothered
laugh. When the match was lighted moth
ing could be detected. No one was there.
Again the Major called upon the mysteri-
Gus somebody to come forth, and again
voice was heard saying, elbow can l trust
you now?" The Major was angry and
his companions alarmed, and after trying
in vain to trace the point whence the voice
proceeded, he exclaimed, ''Well, we'll put
out the light again; only come quickly
and put an end to this bother" So saying
he put out the light again A moment or
two after the same grating sound was
heard, then the falling of some heavy body,
and the next instant man was visible
standing in the middle of the vault with a
dark lantern in his hand OF course he
came from somewhere, but the puzzle was
how? A ghost could not have entered
more mysteriously.
The man soon spoke for himself, and the
directors, who were still at a loss to explain
his presence there, listened in astonishment.
1t appeared that he was poor man and
obtained precarious living in strange
way. When the tide was low it is the.
custom of certain class of men, unknown
to refined society, to enter the sewers to
search for any article of value which may
have been washed down into them. 1t is
very dangerous task and, of course, re-
voting in the extreme, but they not infre-
quently find very precious things in Sic
filth. This, nah was one of those strange
Adventures.
One night he had discovered an opening
leading to some place above. There was
large square stone, which he found could
be easily raised. He listened for some
time, and finding all was silent, lifted up
the stone without much difficulty, and
found, after little investigation by the light
of his lantern, that he was in the strong
room of bank These men, like miners,
can readily determine the exact spot of
ground under which they are, and he soon
had a clew to the whole mystery. He told
his wife, who was woman of superior ed
ucation to his own, of the whole affair, and
he then wrote, as We have seen, to the di-
rectors.
Down in the sewer he was able to hear
all their movements as well as if above
ground, and thus was not only able to know
their plans, but to frustrate them, and of
course could watch his time to remove the
small but valuable box, to leave the letters
on the table, and to appear so mysteriously.
No one had thought of looking to the stone
pavement, which was supposed to be solid
and immovable, as it was known that there
were no vaults below, although the iron
walls and doors had been carefully tested
The mystery was now cleared up and the
man well rewarded.

In the map for 1890 the whole popula-
ton is on the eastern slope of the Appala-
chan range, except slight spur of emigra-
ton reaching westward from Pennsylvania
and Virginia, and detached settlement in
Kentucky. The average depth of the strip
of civilization, measuring back from the
Atlantic westward, is but three hundred
and fifty-fve miles. In 1900 there is some
densening ofpopulation within the old lines,
and western movement along the Mohawk
in New York State, while the Kentucky
oasis of population has spread down into
Tennessee. In 1910 all New York, Penn
sylvania, and Kentucky are well sprinkled
with population, which begins to invade
southern Ohio also, while the territory of
Orleans has share; and Michigan, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, the Mississippi territory
Mississippi and Alabama
are still almost or quite untouched. In
1920 Ohio, or two-thirds of it, shows signs
of civilized occupation and the settlements
around Detroit, which so impressed Darby,
have Joined those in Ohio; Tennessee is
well occupied, as is southern Indiana while
Illinois, Wisconsin, Alabama, have rills of
population adjoining the Indian tribes, not
yet removed, still retarding Southern set
In 1830-Adams's administra-
tion being now closed-Indiana is nearly
covered with population, Illinois more than
half; there is hardly any unsettled land in
Ohio, while Michigan is beginning to be
occupied. Population has spread up the
Missouri to the north of Kansas river
and. farther south, Louisiana, Alabama,
and Arkansas begin to show for something.
But even in 1880 the centre of population
is in Moore6eld, western Virginia, not yet
moving westward at the rate of more than
five miles year.
