Surprise for Army Officers.

WILMINGTON, Aug. 7.-Secretary Endi-
colt has prepared surprise for army officers
by amending certain army regulations 80 as
to make them read as follows: ..
An officer shall not fill any staff appoint
meDt or other situation, tile duties OF which
will detach him from his company, regiment
or corps, until he has served 1t least three
years with his regiment or corps, nor shall
any officer remain detached longer than four
wears unless assigned to special duty by the
War Department. r.
The Secretary promulgates this change
with the following order:
All officers below the grade of field officers
VINO have been absent for period Of four
years or longer from their regiment or corps
will be relieved from their present duties Is
soon as practicable after the receipt OF this
order, and directed to report for duty with
their respective regiment or corps. In the
selection of aid de-camps to fill vacancies
created by the operation of the last proceed
Ing paragraph, major and brigadier generals
will confine their selection to the officers of
the regiments of the line of the army not
prohibited in the regulations and prefers BILE
to subalterns. ---e.a - =
This action Is In pursuance of the Secre-
tary's policy TO provide for rotation Of off,
GERS. Repeated efforts have been made in
Congress to secure legislation that would
have the same effect Is the above regula.
tion, but each attempt has failed. The
Secretary Of War accomplishes the change
BY amending the regulations, which he
claims he has authority to do.

Part Idiot and All Brute.

DALLAS, Texas, Aug. S.-Memorial ser
vices were held to- day. There was parade
by the religious societies and an Grafton by
General Lewis, Of the Confederate army.
During the solemn parade great indignation
was occasionei by the act Of q brick con.
tractor named johnson, who cast the Ameri-
can flag into the street. The dag was hoist
ed on the unfinished wall of new building
by permission of the chief contractor, bu:
without the knowledge Of johnson. The
latter espied the flag at about the time the
procession started, and went up and tore 1t
down. The Confederate and Federal vete.
rams fastened to the scene and quickly
restored the flag to Its place. After their
departure johnson again tore the Gag down
and hurled 1t into the street. The veterans
hearing Of the second outrage, FASTENED To
the scene and with difficulty were prevented
from doing serious harm to johnson. They
put back the flag and it still floats. johnson
was not In the Confederate service. He was
foreign born, having arrived in this country
since the close of the war.

How Old Soldiers Met.

New YORK, Aug. Tt looked like old
war times at the hotels in the city last night.
Great crowds Of strangers arrived on every
train and boat, in anticipation of Saturdays
funeral pageant. But 1t was In the hotel
Hobbies that tie most extraordinary assem-
biages gathered, and the friends of twenty
years ago, who were made enemies by the
war, shook hands and made 1t ell up. Some
Of the scenes between the soldiers of the
North and the South were heart-stirring,
and there were groupings of grand old fig
ures on all sides. In the midst of the scene
stood General Phil. Sheridan. Suddenly .
red-faced man advanced, leading General
John B. Gordon, Of Georgia, toward the
Union soldier. He then introduced them,
and the two old warriors seized hands with
. firm grip and looked each other fair In the
eyes, and then their bapds trembled, but
they did not release the friendly grasp, but
stood there looking at each other with spark
ling eyes. General Belknsp the ex Secre-
tary Of War, came up with General Curtis,
the one-eyed conoueror of Fort Fisher, and
formed part Of the group. 1t was pic
ture worthy of great painter as the South
ern General, tall, black eyed, long. haired
and Scared, pressed the hand Of the famous
soldier of the North.
"This ID how the soldiers OF the North
and South meet to-day. said General
Curtis. "God grant that Il Is only an en-
blem of what Is coming TO the whole
country.n

The Remaina niscninrina

NEW YORK, Aug. THE appearance Of
Grants face is rapidly altering, . yellowish
tinge creeping down the forehead and over
the cheek bones. His righ: hand, which
lies across bis breast, Is Of bright yellowish
hue. 1t was noticeable this morning that
many visitors, after just CHANGING at the re.
mains, hastily turned away, As II overcome
by signs OF decay. An officer Of the Guard
Of Honor told Tribune reporter that the
most singular feature Of the passing thronps
was the number OF men and women who
deliberately turned their heads aside when
reaching the coffin and looked in another
direciion. Many Of these waited hours to
get glimpse Of the body. The Guard OF
Honor this morning Was composed entirely
Of Captains OF the Seventh Regiment. The
streets around the City Hall have the an.
pearance Of vast fair grounds. Hundreds of
peddiers, with badges, flags and relics Of
Grant, line the sidewalks. There "a. .
tremendous increase In the visitors from the
country to-day, who Hll Broad way and the
lever part OF the city. The weather con-
tinues cool, the skies being overcast and
threatening rain. The weather indication.
for tomorrow for this vicinity are lieht.

THE iconoclast has the floor again. The
Montreal Stars special says that the Cat
ling gun, which was reputed TO have
"mowed the neldn at Batoche, really only
killed one man ~ demonstrated by the In
vestigation or the doctors. He says: "The
first day the gun was taken Into camp at
Fish Greek barrel vas put up on end al .
range OF 800 yards and the general, Howard,
straubenzis, Peters. Drury AID . score Of
tha crack artIllersts and rife shots did
their best TO bit II with the Gatltng. Two
hours must have bsen taken up BY the pfac-
ticc and several hundred rounds expended,
but only tive or three bullets found the
slaves. 1t 10 remarkable what little credit
Lieut.. Rivers has got for the gallant manner
in which he took the Calling into action.
He took the gun everywhere Il went, and II
any credit 10 given for this be sbould get It..
Howard, once the gum VS. In action, worked
the crank and lever with dash which has
brought him wonderful share Of credit,
and IL was good thing he was on hand, a.
once during the Hrst days nsht something
went wrong with the gun, and without an
expert such ~ be along with the force, II
would probably have remained disabled I'M

OTHER PEOPLES REMARKS.

Mrs. Helen Hunt Jackson, the well known
authoress and contributor to the Century
Magazine, is lying In San Francisco at the
point Of death. During the last administra-
ton President Arthur appointed her as spe-
cial Indian Commissioner for Southern Cali
fornia. She was also engaged by the Century
Magazine Company to write series of arti.
Giles on Southern California, Oregon and
Washington Territory. While staying In
Los Angeles she fell and broke her knee.
Her recovery was slow and so unsatisfactory
that she determined about four months ago
to go to San Francisco for treatment. Since
her arrival there she has been attacked by
low internal fever, which has been gradually
wearing her down until her stomach became
so weak A. to be unable to retain food. The
last month she has subsisted entirely on fro
zen cream. The doctors say that her death
is now but a question Of few days. Mrs.
Jackson is bright, and in possession Of all
her faculties, while conscious Of her ap-
preaching end. Her husband, who is a
banker In Denver, Col, arrived at her bed
side week ago.
