LIQUOR in the Army.

Gen. Mcclellan found it difficult to
prevent the sale Of liquor to soldiers,
and finally gave orders that the stock
of any one violating the regulations
should be. summarily destroyed. The
next night the provost guard visited
Springman's hotel. on Pennsylvania
avenue, and destroyed nearly =. 900
worth Of liquors of varions kinds. The
guard went into the .celler of the estab-
lishment, where most of the liquor was
stored, and stove in the heads of the
casks and barrels. pouring their con.
tents upon the floor, forming pool
deep enough to float a bateau: The
Columbia restaurant, kept by Joseph
Piatz, situated on the square below.
was next overhauled by the guard. and
the liquor found on the premises served
in the same manner. The atmosphere
in the ncighborhood Of the Springman,
house was fragrant with the odor Of
whisky, brandy. gin. aud cOrdials. and
was shifted up by the several old toPers
standing near with peculiar satisfac'
tion.-Ben: Perley POore.

Senator Ransom tells this story: An

ditional and inevitable monkey along.
After some mournful melodies the
beast, in u sadly cOmical way. hoped
around among the crowd soliciting
money. A big countryman upset the
tin cup, and cufied the money. The
enraged Italian, in his peculiar lingo.
bet the man that his monkey could
whip him. The wager was $50. and
the man was to encounter the missing
link with a stick. Armed with "a
heavy bludgecn. the bully protested
his readiness for the fray. The Italian
danced his animal up and down, and,
in broken English, said: "Gentlemen,

tricks that tiger does not Know: lie

monkey shall bite of the nose OF his
enemy, or scratch out bis eyes. or cut

with the club was visibly affected by
this speech. He instinctively put his
hand over his nose, half shaded his
eyes, while a great gulp came into his

marched out and was bound and given
one hundred lashes. asked Mr..
Ward what he would have done had
the man refused to obey the order. and
he replied that ne would have dragged
him out with the irons, and If he had
attempted to assault any of them the
guards would have killed him. He
said that one guard could watch eight
men, and then. with a significant look,
added that sometimes it took eight
men to control one desperate man. but
that such fellows usually attempted to
escape and were killed by the guards.
But l never regarded MIR. Ward as
brutal man; on the contrary, thought
he desired to find the average under
which. at the least expense, he couli
get the greatest amount of labor out
Of the convits. But remember that
one day in 1877 l came up to gang
of convicts who were working on y
Texas railroad, and where one of them
had been killed by a guard. asked
one Of the guards how II came about,
and he told me that the man was an
unruly fellow. who gave them great
deal Of trouble, and that it was cheaper
and safer to give him chance to at
tempt to escape, which was done.
and the man was killed as he ran.

large numbers of them. In the north
crn states, and notably in Ohio, pOlit-
ical parties abolished the convict con-
tract system inside Of the penitentiary
because the wOrkingmen. who were
voters, demanded that such COMPETE
ton with them be ended, but in the
south, the negroes being the working
class, the system is allowed to flourish
in the most extended form. But the
evils of the system are overlooked In

A Ribbon.

In one Of the London hospitals, about year
