Officers Placed in False Position
by Society Worshipers.

A writer in the New York World de-
clares that the so-called army honor is
myth-there being no higher sense of
honor among the army officers as class
than there is among people of equal ed
ucation and position in other occupations
of life. l doubt if there is as much.
Army officers are placed in a false DO
sition through the attention paid them by
society. An army officer comes to WASH
ington and he is invited everywhere.
and Is called upon to associate with peo-
pie who have plenty of money. As a
natural result be soon becomes involved
financially. A man who feels the sharp
pressure of debt cannot always afford
the luxury of indulging in the
most rigid ideas of what is strictly
honorable. None of them have any
better pay than the department
clerks and bureau chiefs. Yet these Of
ficers live at the best hotels as general
thing, have carriages, dress we'll and
are seen everywhere. The department
clerks, who have equal salaries live in the

THE COLONEL,s REBUKE.
An Occasion When the Boys were not Ex-
actly Consistent.


Ex-C Congressman Gunter, of Arkan-
sas, was, during the war, proud and
impressive officer. He was not afraid OF
the enemy, and never sought chance
of keeping out of harms way, but it was
"a well-known fact that the clanking
panoply and turkey .gobbler strut of war
was to him quite as interesting as the
CLEAN of the bayOnet or the 'cannons
opening roar" In January, 1868, Gun
ter marched his men from the northwest
down to the capital city. While the
men were halted on tae opposite bank
OF the river Gunter went over into the
town, and while there became acquainted
with several young ladies. In the
presence Of these young ladies he de-
cided to make an impressive show, and
he told them to stand upon the hotel
balcony to be cheered by his troops as
they passed.
''Now, boys" said Gunter, when he
had gone back to his men, ''when you
cross over 1 want you to march Just as
gracefully as you possibly can. A party
Of ladies will be standing on the hotel
balcony. When I take off my hat and
shout Three cheers for the ladies of
Little Rock, JEFF Davis and the Southern
Confederacy, You must all cheer"
The men were not in a cheering
humor. They had marched through
many miles of snow. The peacock
feather to them, while it might have
been picturesque, possessed not that
great charm which turks around loaf
Of bread and place to sit down. just
before arriving opposite the hotel on the
balcony of which the ladies stood, one
of the officers said
"Boys, we've got enough OF this fool
ishness. Don't open your mouths. Pass
it along the line"
The word was passed along. Gunter
took off his hat, waved it and ex-
claimed
"Three cheers for the ladies of Little
Rock, JEFF Davis and the Southern
Confederacy."
The men were marching in the most
zig-zag and slatternly manner. No one
cheered. Gunter "ducked" his head.
Shortly after the soldiers passed the
hotel yellow dog ran into the street.
Then the men yelled. Gunter raved.
Standing up in his stirrups he ex-
claimed
ooh, yes, hang you. You can't cheer
party of ladies, but you can cheer
yaller dog.
Never afterward did Gunter place so
much confidence in his men.

Not Lazy, But not Quick.

We are afraid that no class of our
great city population gets less sympathy
and help than our Italian immigrants,
whom we are too apt to associate with
squalor, laziness and bursts of sudden
ferocity. Miss Janet Dale, of Chicago,
has been interviewing some of them.
Thus spoke to her the father of a repre-
sentative family, as she reports his talk
in the NeaOS:
"Ah navair can get de work in de
mills, speaks the father, half smiling,
half signing, as, with an indescribable
shrug, he lays aside the guitar. Ode
Americanos dey go queek, queek. I
cannot go so queek. L better hat stay
in my own countree. But de boys"
and he rests a hand on the little fellow,
wh) was out with his sister and one
still smaller, ''de boys-oh ! dey sail
learn to go queek, queek like America
nos. 1t will den be better fer dem.
Would 1 work ?" He stretches out his
hands, and the carelessness vanishes for
an instant Almost his dumpy frame
seems to grow taller. madame, I
should be happee, but nevair can l find
it. All know not desc new-countree
ways, and so l can do nothing but sect
sect in de house. Americanos dey
say, lie lasy Italianos.' De Italianos
are not queek like desc people, but dey
are not lasy of dey comes here, fer dey
comes to make themselves better. If
lasy only dey wants to be, dere is chance
enough in my own beautiful couatree,
where de sun shine and is warm. No,
no; dey comes not here, where de sun
does not shine and de skies keep dark
and de cold is so great, to be lasy. But
when dey is come, all is too queek fer
dem-too queek. Everything too queek
fer de grown men and women but de
peanut and de fruit stands, and de organ
to go round and carry. Dey say: 'Ah,
de Italianos so lasy dey do nodding else
but desc tings.' But tink you is desc
tings easy fer to do? All day, till late
at night, to stand at the corners wild de
stand, and early to go by de day down
to de market to buy cheap? Is it easy
to walk all de day wild a organ on de
back? All no, it is not lasy-it is de
Americanos too queek fer we. Our
children, dey will learn to be so queek
as desc northland peoples, so it will be
well wild dem."

A Russian Fable.

On the monument erected to Krilof,
the Russian Ksep," is a bas reLief
telling pictorially one of his best fables,
that Of "Fortune and the Beggar:"
A wretched beggar, carrying a ragged
old wallet, was creeping along from house
to house, and as he grumbled at his lot,
he kept wondering that folks who lived
in rich apartments, ard were up to their
threats in money and in the sweets Of
indulgence, should be always unsatished,
however full their pockets might be, and
that they should 60 so far as often to
lose all they have, while unreasonably
craving for, and laying their hands on,
new riches.
"Here, for instance" he says, "the
former master of this house succeeded
in trading prosperously, and made him
self enormously rich by commerce. But
then, instead of stopping and handing
over his business to another, and spend
ing the rest OF his years in peace, he
took to equipping ships for the sea IN
the spring. He expected to get noun
tains Of gold, but the ships We resmashed
and his treasures were swallowed up in
the waves. Now they all lie at the bot
tom of the sea, and he has found his
riches melt away like those in dreams.
Another man became one of the farmers
of the spirit tax, and so gained a mil
lion. That was a trife; and he wanted to
double it. So he plunged up to his ears
in speculations, and was utterly ruined.
In short, instances of this are countless.
And quite right, too-a man should use
discretion"
At this moment Fortune suddenly ap-
peared to the beggar and said: "Listen4
have long wished to help you. Here
is a lot of ducats 1 have found. Hold
out your wallet, and I will fill it with
them, but only on this condition: All
shall be gold that falls into the wallet;
but if any of it falls out of the wallet to
the ground, it shall all become dust.
Consider this well. have warned you
beforehand. l shall keep strictly to my
compact. Your wallet is old; don't over
load it beyond its powers"
Our beggar is almost too overioyed to
breathe. He scarcely feels the ground
beneath his feet. He opens his wallet,
and, with generous hand, q golden stream
of ducats is poured into it. The wallet
soon becomes rather heavy.
els that enough ?"
"Not yet.
'Isn't it crscking?"
"Never fear"
"Consider, you're quite a Croesus."
"Just little more; just add hand
fulr
"There, it's full. Take care-the wal
let is going to burst"
"Just little bit more.
But at that moment the wallet split;
the treasure fell through, and turned to
dust, and Fortune disappeared. The
beggsr had nothing but his empty wallet,
and remained as poor as before.

GEN. GRANT TO TuE BOYS IN BLUE.
Pathetic Interview with the Old Command
era Farewell Message TO Old COM
rudes.

A farewell message from Gen. Grant to the
soldiers who fought under his command was
dictated by him Thursday to Lieut.. A. J. Hol-
brook. Of G. A. r. Post No. 6S, Of Boston.
Lieut. HOlbrOOk called on the General IN COM
pany with A. Howard Walker, Of Cincinnati
publisher OF the Grant memorial, soon to be
issued, and who desired to present the General
with an album containing the autographs Of
the first fifty subscribers to That work
Lieut.. HolbrOOk says: ave found him sit
ting in his armchair and he arose and re-
celyed us cordially. He expressed himself as
greatly pleased at the tribute from his friends
in Cincinnati, and the tears Of Joy that stood
in his eyes when he said it left no room for
doubt that he spoke from his heart THE SOU
venir is so beautifully conceived he said,
that cannot sufficiently express my pleasure
at receiving it..
.iHe arose and took me by the hand and
sent q message to the Boys in Blue to be de-
livercd to them at the annual encampment in
Portland, Me-. in June. He said: Tell the
boys that they probably will never look into
my face again, BOT hear my voice, but they are
engraved on my heart, and l love them as
my children. What the good Lord has spared
me for is more than / can tell, but 1t is per-
haps TO finish up my book which l shall leave
to the Boys in Blue, in which they cannot only
see me but follow me in the acts in which they
helped me- He then took US into the library
and showed us the m nuscript Of his book.
"COl. Fred turned over the leaves Of the
volume to show US that it was in the Generals
own handwriting. The second volume was
partly in his and partly done by an amannen-
81. Just before we left him he spoke to us Of
his illness. He said that if the doctors had
no. lived there in the room; if they had been
block away, or even one house
away, he was satisfied that he would
never have spoken again. He was
convinced that there was an overruling
Providence in the whole Of his sickness. He
said that he asked the doctor why they did not
let him alone and allow him to die, rather
than to bring him again to consciousness Of
pain and suffering. But still, he said, j be-
feve in prayer, and l believe that an Overrul-
ing Providence has something more for me to
do in the world, if it is only to finish my
boolr -
