Just discovered the document which

a Chaplaincy in the army, with a
series of Endorsements by Lincoln and
Stanton on its back which ran over
the available space on the application
and down on a slip of paper which
had been added to receive them.
These were the Endorsements, each
being dated: "Dear Stanton: APP

Tie Father-in-Law of Barrios Has Retired
from Politics.
San Francisco Chronicle
When General Barrios conceived the idea Of
marrying, he marched, at the head of his soldiers
to a convent in Guatemala where there was a
young and beautiful girl who had taken his
fancy, and demanded of the Sisters to give her
up. This was speedily done, as it was feared
that otherwise he would take her by force, and
destroy the convent The young girl had tho
reputation of being the most beautiful girl in all
Guatemala. Barrios carried off his prize and
married her The father of the captured damsel
is Don Juan Apparicio, who is now in this city.
and who is one Of the wealthiest men
in Guatemala having untold acres of
coffee plantations. S>The father at first
was extremely angry at Barrios but
afterwards became reconciled and generously
gave the dictator portion of his estate. The
father-in-law of Barrios was called upon yester-
day by reporter, but no amount of persuasion
could induce him to talk on the Central Ameri-
can situation. He stated that he had retired
from politics and was only commercially in
terested in Guatemala In regard to his sonin-
laws plans and his own position on the ques-
ton of consolidating the Central American re-
publics, he preferred to remain silent. Don
Juan Apparicio is tall, handsome man, ex-
tremey courteous in manners and affable in
Speech and the father of fourteen children. He
states that he prefers domestic happiness to
political turmoil His business in this city is to
see TO the education of several of his younger
children, his confidence in the security of Guate-
malan institutions having been, in the case Of
Mrs Barrios, rudey dispelled

can move the stone. but they mark it to return
the next day and make another trial. Lope
lies awake all night fearing that some one will
see how plainly the statues are looking at the
treasure. Sanchica dreams only of those four
marble eyes pointing to where the gold lies.

Training Carrier Pigeons.
Philadelphia Times.


"Homing carrier pigeons require somewhat
careful training said Daniel S. Newhall yester-
day. ut is not often, however, that any are
lost The birds are allowed at first, when about
three months old, to fly around and about their
home for week or two. Then they are taken
on various occasions to different spots about a
mile distant and the distance is increased until
thirty miles are reached and successfully
achieved, and they are taken still further away,
until the distance is increased to sixty, ninety,
one hundred and fifty, two, three, four and even
eight hundred miles. The stations are generally
signal service stations, as the officers are well
qualified to judge as to the weather the bird is
likely to encounter. | have known birds to be
kept at station several days before
being allowed to fly owing to adverse
weather. Sometimes after being kept so
long they are 10th to leave, and occasionally.
after flying about all day, unable to find their
fall and settle on the roof of the station. That,
of course is not very often the case for the

Il used to know gentleman in Germantown
who had different way OF training his birds.
or rather of judging which birds he would train
After they had become thoroughly acquainted
with their home, he gave them no trial trips
but sent them off to New York right away
Those who found their way home he trained for
longer flights. 1t is really astonishing how few
he lost.
pigeons will fly we'll till they are four years
old, but it is rarely you find pigeon Of that age
doing any work. The reason is simple. If a
bird-owner finds any specially good bird, and it
wins half dozen prizes, he is not going to
waste the pigeon nor let it wear itself out He
wants to breed from it. He, therefore keeps it
at home. Carriers run number Of dangers,
you know; the hawks get at them, and nothing
earthly will prevent that"

Lafayette, at the age of twenty, left his young
wife and fed to aid Washington. He loaded a
ship with supplies which were mostly needed by
American troops, and helped them with the
prestige of his name, with scant military ex-

not only drilled his soldiers, but clothed and fed
them, and when his own means were exhausted,
