THE MEN OF THE LIGHTHOUSE ESTABLISH
MENT 10 BE UNIFORMED IN MAY.
On and after May list the male employ
cs OF the United States Lighthouse Els
adjustment, including about twelve
hundred lighthouse keepers and the
keepers and crews of lightshps and
tenders, will be obliged to wear regula-
ton uniform Of oue, with cap or helmet
and brass buttons. Many of these men
are stationed on remote headlands and
Islands along the coast and do not visit
the haunts Of men from one years end to
another These will not be able to dis
play their gorgeousness save to the OBJ
servant waterfowl and contemplative
clam, but the Lighthouse Board, which
has ordered the uniforming, believes the
men will be all the better for it, The
department is under species of military
discipline, and military clothes, it thinks,
will enhance the esprit de corps of the
organization. The men will be furnished
with their uniforms at Sl7 each for fan
mel and S2l for kersey suits. The regu-
lation buttons will be ornamented with
the monogram ~. S." and the letters
81. H. f signifying lighthouse estab-
| lishment.
Captain George n. Brown, United
States Navy, Lighthouse Inspector of the
Third district, which embraces the terri
! tory between the Massachusetts line and
Barnegat, also the Hudson River and
Lake Champlain, said that all the BOO
men under him were pleased at the
order. They could get first rate suit
of clothes at a much lower price than in
any other way. Captain Brown thought
it would be well for the government to
provide uniforms free of charge, as the
men in the department do not receive
very high pay.
Ida Lewis and her sister lighthouse
keepers, of whom there are few in the
service, will not share in the privileges
or penalties connected with the uniform
rule, nor will those holding acting APP
pontments or working as substitutes be
permitted to don the blue and brass

These facts show that Georgia, through
three resident members of the Third

matter. There is no political signifi-

kindly feeling, but an exhibition of how
warmly the hearts of true and brave
soldiers can beat in kindly sympathy fol-

don't know whether the enterprising cam
paign biographers will get hold of certain Incl
dent which have always thought particularly
admirable in General Logans career; but, as
probably you and / never read campaign biog-
raphies, / may as well mention it here. Gen
eral Logan was ordered to Nashville to super
sede Gen. George H. Thomas, of whose slow
ness the War Department was weary. On
reaching there and going about with his pre-
decessor he found that his delay had been the
result of admirable planning and complete prep
aration for victory General Logan might
easily have stepped in and reaped the fruit of
that wise provision, winning laurels for himself
at the expense of his displaced and chagrined
brother-in- arms This he could not and would
not do, and he withheld the military order
which would have justified him in SO doing and
General Thomas was permitted to win and en-
Joy the we'll earned fame Long ago / once
thanked General Logan for that chivalrous act,
and he said briefly that no man OF honor could
have done otherwise; but this standard of hon or
did not always prevail among our Eastern gen
erals
