"I'll never forget the first time that
saw General Grant" said William Ransom
recently TO a number of men in the foot
guards equipment room. Il was first ser
geant in Company & of the Seventh Con-
necticut volunteers, commanded by Cen
eral Hawley At that time we were lying
before Richmond Day after day we had
nothing to do but lie about the camp On
this neyer-forgotton day that | refer TO

men being under my charge. Some of the
boys had swapped papers with the rebs
whose picket-line was not far from ours,
and had given me the Richmond Gazette

a tree and, sitting on the ground, braeed
my back against the tree aud read. Ii was
not long before | became interested in a
story and forgot about picket-duty, and
even the war. Suddenly i heard the tramp
of squadron of cavalry, and looking up
saw a number of horsemen approaching.
| saw that some of my men were engaged
with some of the Jonnies in a game of
poker The officers did not stop. but
quietly rode past, not without looking at
me in a peculiar manner Soon after a
single horseman rode up. He had on a
SLOUGH hat. on old blouse, and his breeches
were stuck in pair of big boots.
Riding up to me, he said Sergeant,
what are your men doing here :"
On picket duty | replied.
Where are your men,
" oh, over there playing poker, ] said,
nodding my head in their direction.
II thought that he was a correspondent
for some paper and answered him saucily.
Asking my name, regiment, and company
he rode away. flung a parting shot at
him as he did 50. asking him il he was
not inquisitive When we were relieved j

captain told me that ! was under arrest,
liable TO be shot, / felt like sinking in the
ground. court-mart-tl was held and i
was sentenced to be shot at sunrise. In the
few hours that / was in the guard-house
/ seemed to live over my life again.
Through the efforts of General Hawley the
sentence was not carried into effect. i was
disrated, however, and for three days
carried knapsack filled with sand about
the camp When General Grant visited
this city i called upon him. He recogniz-
ed me, and as left he said: Always do
your duty. ~

German Colonization.

BERLIN, March 13.-During the debate
in the Reichstag on the steamship subsidy
bill, Bismarck said that even without a
colonial policy subsidized lines to the east
would he useful to Germany, and if the
House should reject the grant for one or
other of these lines, the government would
thankfully accept the remainder as an in
stallment.
Replying to Rintelen's objections to
colonizing ventures, Bismarck declared
that there was good prospect OF building
up a~thriving mining industry at Angra
Pequena, and OF obtaining a supply OF
cotton from German producers in Cam
eroons and the New Guiena colonies. He
stated that the negotiations with England
regarding Cameroons territory were max
ing gratifying progress.
In concluding his speech Bismarck said,
as Gods blessings had crowned the policy
of Germany for twenty years. and as the
Germans had withstood the foe in 1-16 as
a nation of brothers, the spirit of party
strife and confessed dissension must not
now he allowed to ruin the newly founded
empire. His words were received with
great cheering in all parts of the house.

The Efficiency ofthe system and the
Competency of the Clerks.

The Postmaster General, in his annual
report, has the following to say concerning
the Railway Service:
All railway postal clerks are appointed
for probationary period of SIX months,
during which time their fitness and capaci-
ly for the service are tested. They are eX-
amined monthly as to their knowledge OF
the postal laws and regulations, "a well rs
the practical workings of their office. If,
at the expiration of the probationary period,
they have proven themselves competent,
they are given appointment at class one.
After an appointment at class one, all
clerks are promoted, according 10 merit,
when vacancies occur. IL usually takes a
clerk several years TO work his way up to
class five, which is the highest grade. The
clerks of this class are in charge of an
office in a car which is known as a railway
post office, and usually have several clerks
under their direction. There are at the
present time about 1000 clerks in the
Railway Mail Service many of them hav-
ing been so employed great number of
years. In the very nature of the case, the
places OF these skilled clerks, who have
made their work g life study, cannot be
filed with new appointees without great
detriment TO the service.
As experienced clerks are absolutely in
dispensible to an efficient service, IL could
not do other than work confusion and de-
lay 10 the whole mail system of the coun-
try, if the present force should be set aside
and new and inexperienced men put in
their places About thirty per cent. of all
clerks appointed fail TO pass satisfactory
examinations and are retired. Ii will thus
he seen that far greater number of clerks
have been appointed than are now in the
service, but by the sitting process the de
partment has secured the most active and
efficient clerks.
During the past twelve years not single
clerk has been removed without good
cause, and that cause has been incompetent
cy, intemperance, or neglect of duty. by
such means the clerks have, in great meas
ure, felt secure in their tenure, and have
devoted themselves with all energy to the
best interests of the service.
For years promotions have been made
on merit alone. All the officers have
worked their way from the lowest grade to
their present positions, so that each and
every man holds his situation by reason of
his competency and thorough knowledge
of the service

Some New Proverbs.

We are assured on an authority that
should be good one that the following
are new proverbs: A white lie often told
makes black story. It's poor musician
who can't blow his own trumpet He
who would eat the egg must first break the
shell. Every back has its pack. The man
who wishes to continue believing in his
friends should never put them to the
proof. Look after your wife; never mind
yourself, she'll look after you. The want
of money.is the root of much evil. Egotism
is an alphabet with one letta. II you'd
know a mans character, follow him home.
Men love women; women love men. The
surest road tc honor is to deserve it. Only
whisper scandal and its echo is heard by
all. It's not the clock with the loudest
tick that goes the best. Home is the
rainbow OF life. Don't complain Of the
baker until you have tasted his bread.
They who live in a worry invite death to
hurry.

Protection of American interests.

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Rear Ad-
miral Jeuett, commanding the North At
lantic squadron, to-day telegraphed Com
mander Clark of the Alliance at New Or
leans instructing him to proceed to Car
tagena and Barraquilla. United States OF
Columbia, and to protect the American in
terests in that country during the present
disturbed condition OF affairs. A dispatch
informs Commander Clark that vessels
belonging to American citizens which had
been seized by the insurgents without
compensation would be forcibly recovered,
and says the United Magdalena and Steam
Navigation company, of New York, has
called the attention of the Secretary of
State to the seizure of their steamers by an
armed force

The Co-Operauve plan.

An Ohio manufacturer, who started in

Now, boys, this is oung business, and

ever, mean to do the right thing by you,

is left over at the end OF the year, after
making allowances for my interest, wear

employees gathered to hear a statement

Boys, 1 am happy to inform you" began
the boss, that there was 5000 left over TO
be divided among you, according to the
old scheme

monds for my wife, SO that nothing is left.

Tar Smoke for Diphtheria.


- At4AA tAA' NC" ork sun
huth Lockwood, the nine year-old child
oil Thomas Lockwood, became violently i'll
with diphtheria. She was so weak that
IL was deemed dangerous TO try tracheoto-
my, or cutting open the wind-pipe On
thursday, Dr. Nicholas, who was attend
ing her received copy of the Paris Figaro,
winch contained a report made TO the
French Academy of Medicine by Dr.
Delthil. DIR. Delthil said that the vapors
OF liquid tar and turpentine would dissolve
the tibrinOus eXudations which choak up
the throat IA croupe and diphtheria. The
patient DIR. Delthil SAYS. Immediately
seems TO experience relief; the choaking
and rattle stop; the patient falls into a
slumber and seems To iahale the smoke
with pleasure The fibrinous membrain
soon becomes detached, and the patient
coughs up miCrobicides. These, when
caught in glass may be seen TO dissolve
in the smoke. In the course of three days
atterward the patient entirely rocovers.
DR.. Nicholas tried this treatment yesterday
with little Ruth Lockwood She was
lying gasping for breath when he visited
her. First pouring about two tablespoons
iul of liquidtied tar on a hot iron pan, he
then poured as much turpentine over il
and set it on fire. The rich resinous smoke
which rose to the ceiling was by no means
unpleasant. As it illed the room the
childs breathing became mats ;'ral and as
the smoke became dense she fell asleep.
The after treatment, which is not des-
cTibed in the above extract, is as follows:
The throat OF the child is then washed
with coaltar and lime water. These fumi-
cations instantly destroy all kinds of
pavasitil insects and microcosms and are
excellent disiniectants. Under this method
healthy children and Others have approach
ed the sick bed without the slightest dan
ger of contracting the terrible disease.
This treatment, sOsimple and so marvellous,
is thus at once both absolute remedy and a
precious preventiye.-EDS STANDARD.

The New Commissioner of Internal
Revenue.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, March 16.-Of the de-
feat of Phil Thompson and the appoint
ment of Miller for Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, Mr.. Watterson will say in
tomorrow mornings COurier-JQurHdi
We are rot prepared To accept the defeat
of Phil Thompson as a declaration Of war
by the President upon the friends of reve-
nue. reform, nor the appointment OF Miller,
of West Virginia, as evidence that IT is the
purpose of the administration to set itself
against the Internal revenue taxes which
pay more than one-third of the expenses
of the government, and without which
there could be no adequate reduction of
custom house duties. Personally and To-
cally we very much regret the decision, but
we trust that the apprehension of those
who have a right TO a fair Interpretation
and execution of the internal revenue laws
and have regarded West Virginia rs hostile
TO them and their interests, will be disap-
pointed. The question is economic not
novel. and we shall be slow to believe that
it will he treated by the President and his
advisers in a narrow spirit IL will be
given out of course that this is triumph
of Mr.. Randall over Mr.. Carlisle. That,
ture developments. Ii the President al
lies himself TO Mr.. Randall he will do it
openly and not clandestinely. If he does,
it will involve hopeless split of the party
and new array of political forces. We
want no such conflict and shall do all in
our power to avoid it, but if against the
protest of an overwhelming majority of
the Democrats it should come to pass the
advocates of a sound and honest revenue
system will not he found une,, nal to 1t. In
affairs OF this sort 1t is best 10 have no
concealments. Dangers are OFT times avoid
ed by going out to meet them. The Pres
ideut might have evaded an issue by the
familiar expedient OF appointing thrd
party neutral, or he may consider, and he
may he right in considering that there is
no issue at all. To our mind and imper-
feet knowledge we are inclined to think
there is. and that il Is not encouraging TO
the friends of real revenue reforms. But
we shall wait with equinimity the course
of events
