ieCk Sun.l
When at the close of the war we were sta.
toned at san Antonio, having little to do
We determined to enjoy a buggy ride We
had great big, good-natured horse that had
followed us from far Alabama, adapple gray
N3th flowing name and tail, and it did seem
IS though lie would handle buggy like
joy forever The horse had never been
hit ;hsd t, Il buggy before, but he behaved
himself the best he knew how He looked
around at the buggY and the man in it, as
much "a 70 Soy, b 3s THIS may be all right
buJ ii is q mean trick to play on cavalry
horse. However, il you can tell me what
you want me to DO, yill do it, or bust a
trace"
lie Didn't understand the pull of the rains,
and we Ind to get out to turn him around
He rubbed his nose on our shoulder. and
looked ont OF his eyes as though he would
ask if he had done rightso far, and s,enet to
say, 81 have been prepared for anything
since left the Confederate seryice, from a
Thousand mile raid on short r,ttiors to a race
with Il qnartarmastor's mule, but had never
expected 10 come to this" and a tear seemed
to lmger on his eyelid as he put his nose in
his masters bosom On returning to the
the plaza, and just then an idiot with A bucIe
began to blow a call and the cavalrymen
started across the plaza in company front.
That settled the huggy-ride. Gen. Grier-
son" started OF Oh a run, buggy aud all. and
wheeled in the front, right OF the third pla-
toon, three PAGES in front, right where he
knew there ought tn lie O second lieutenant,
| and turned his eye to the right to dress on
the other platoon commanders The rear of
the buggy was breaking up the ranks Of the
platoon and we were never so embarrassed in
the world.
The captain yelled to us to get out of the
way, an orderly rode up and took the old
| gray by the bit, and then it occurred to the
| horse thnt the buggy was in the way, and
he began to kick it to pieces The cross-bar
! and dashboard were kicked over into the
| platoon, and he was just pulverizing the
J running gear and box when a dozen men
grabbed him, and we crawled out from
under the wreck, and when We got out the
A., horse had turned around facing us, with the
| SHAFTS still hitched to him, and he was try
| ing, in his horse sense way to tell us what
| he thought Of 4 cavalryman that would APP
| pear on duty i'll such a way, and bring re
! preach on a good, honest well-brought up
horse. The company stopped drilling to laugh,
broke ranks, and went into the Menger
house at our. expense, the hveryman took
his buggy back on dray, and the writer
paid for the buggy, put on the saddle
again and rode away, and the old horse,
when he got ont into the road, turned his
head AMI nibbleI the riders bootleg and
yinkei IS much rs to say: There, boss,
ti.is is something like it This is the way

An Old Man Robbed.

A couple of Indianapolis confidence mer
swindled a decrepit old man. whose hair was
white with age, and with lettering step, out Of
$3.50. on the Big Four train which left here
for Cincinnati early yesterday morning. The old
gentleman was on his way from Washington ia
Florida, and had with him 500. with which to
purchase a home in the South. At the Union
depot the two sharpers entered the
train and singled the old man out
for their operations. After one
of them had enticed him to a seat in the rear Of
the coach, the two engaged in a game of cards,
and one of them losing very heavily, prevailed
upon the old gentleman to cash a check for $635.
OF course the check was valueless. At Green's
burg the thieves left the train and the
truth for the first time dawned upon the old
man. He was sent on to Cincinnati by the train
men. There is no clew to the thieves. A young
man who saw the whole transaction from a seat
opposite the scoundrels was afraid to interfere,
and allowed them to rob the old man withoc&
a protest.

The Indiana division of the Travellers Pro
tective Association met in annual session yester-
day at the Grand Hotel The officers were Frank
A. Hoyt, vice-president of the State; William l..
Baker, secretary ala treasurer. and j. B. Pugh,
president of the advisory board. The objects of
the association are to promote free trade through
out the States of the Union, to secure
a reduction of passenger rates on railroads
to merchant travellers, to obtain a fair
and equitable allowance for baggage, and to
secure hotel accommodations commensurate with
the prices paid. The purpose of the meeting
was to prepare for the interstate annual meeting
at Buffalo, in June, and to elect the delegates
from the State to that convention. Several
changes to the constitution and bylaws of the
association were suggested, which will come up
for consideration at the national meeting.
