Stories of Two Noted Cavalry Of
ficerS.

The Washington correspondent oil
the Philadelphia Record tells two
stories OF two noted Union cavalry of.
6CerS:
was reading the advance proofs oil
an article upon the late war, in which
it is stated that Gen. Sheridan seldom
swore and that Gen. Custer never
used an oath in his life, but was a
mild, gentle young blonde whose very
breath vas perfumed. Such nonsense
should not be allowed to- 60 into print.
Custer was horribly profane at times,
and Sheridan could swear all that
vas necessary. When fitzpatrick
joined them they made a trio OF as
stout swearers as the Virginia sun
looked down upon. Late on the
night of the battle of Winchester,
when Custer had seen the last OF
Early, whom Sheridan had sent
whirling down the valley, Gus
ter burst into the tent where
Sheridan was, caught him by the arms,
whirled him around and shouted so
that all in and out of the tent could
hear: 49, Phil didn't we give
them -" AS one of Sheridan's
hard riders in 1864, / know what |
am writing about? OF course, it is all
wrong, but the best of men will swear
in action, and sometimes out of it, too,
and when q nice young man who
wants TO make up a pretty history
describes our old cavalry generals as
Sunday school models, when they
were simply brave, manly men with
human failings, as we'll as heroic vir-
tues, should be sat down upon
hard. As we'll might a revised version
of the bible turn Peters c~ursing and
s wearing into a gentle ~ think, dear
madam, you must be mistaken"
when q maid -servant accused him of
being a disciple of the Galileean teach
er and he denied it with furious BIAS
phemy.
Fitzpatrick, when a lieutenant colo
mel OF cavalry, met with deserved re-
buke for his profanity. Custer was
with him when he rode up to a SER
geant of theguard in his regiment and,
swearing DIT him furiously, ordered
him to attend to a certain matter
that had been neglected. The man
folded his arms and stood at bay,
looking fitzpatrick squarely in the eye.
"Do you hear me, 49, --- your
said the latter; "Why don't you do
as | tell your" "When / receive a
proper order / shall obey" said the
soldier firmly; ''the articles of war for
bid you to address me in the language
you have used" Custer ''snickered
right out in meeting and said in a
stage whisper: by -, he'sgot you,
Kill" Col. Fitzpatrick saw the point
at once. and in q ve2y manly way

his orders, the man touched his cap
respectfully and turned away to fulfil
the command, and Fitzpatrick rose
many q degree in the estimation OF
his soldiers.

Arthur and Charles Lever.

Some years ago Chester A. Arthur,
while a passenger on q train between
New York and Albany, produced a
copy of Charles Levers Jack Hin
ton He had scarcely entered upon
the adventures OF the dashing guards
man when a gentleman entered the
car, seated himself in front of Mr.. Ar
thur and took from his satchel a COPY
OF "St. Patrick's Eve" also by Lever.
This coincidence led subsequently, to
mutual acquaintance, and naturally.
TO q discussion OF the merits of the
great Irish novelist. The writer will
remembers the recitation by Mr.. Ar
thur OF these lines:
"0eh, Dublin city. there is no doubtin',
Bates every city upon the say:
IT'S there you heard O'Connel spoutin,.
And Lady Morgan maxim tay.
For It's the capital o. the finest nation.
Wild charmin' pisintry upon a fruitful
sod,
Fightin' like divils for cancellation,
An hatin' each other for the love oil
God"
Those familiar with Levers writings
will recall his structures on English
landlords who oppress their Irish
tenantry. When Gladstone and Par.
nell came together on a common plat.
form for Irish rights Mr.. Arthur, being
then in Newport, said: There is scarce
" a plank in that platform which
might not have been drawn from
Charles Levers presentation of the
Irish problem in his novels written
thirty years ago."-Syracuse Stand

THE OLD YEAR.

Dying, dying Is the year,
And the earth is sad;
Signing, sighing are the trees,
And tine winds are mad;
Creeping, ere the world be sleeping
Shadows drGar
Cross the year.
Dying, dying is the year
Old earth, do you care,
For the child, now tired and sad,
Once so glad and fair2
Dying, while the winds are signing;
Drifts OF snow
Hide graves below.
Dying, dying is the year
Fare-thee- well to night.
You have brought US smiles and tears,
Shadows and the light;
Fading, while the dusk is shading
Stars OF light
From our sight.
Dying, dying is the year
Dreams we must forget,
Buried are the hopes it brought,
Buried each regret;
Sleeping, waking, smiling, weeping
All the sad,
All the glad.
Dying, dying is the year
Comes the new tonight,
Child OF li-ht, with wings OF gold,
S~hadowless and bright;
Flinging clouds OF Joy swift winging
Ger the past
Fading fast,
Dying, dying is the year
Let the sorrow die;
Bells ring out the sad, I fancy,
Winds forget to sigh;
Sorrow, reign you not tomorrow,
When the year
New born is here.

The discovery Of forgotten law requiring TIT

The discovery OF a forgotten law requiring the
remaining OF two well-known streets In this city
will put property holders in other neighborhoods
into some trepdation about the style In which
they should have the addresses on their cards en-
grsvsd From one point OF view It is hard upon
an innocent householder TO remove him suddenly,
without his volition, from Fifteen-and-a-half
street TO Madison place or from Sixteen-and-a-half
street to Jackson place Suppose this householder
were An anti-Madisonian or an anti-Jaeksonian,
and carried his prejudices so far as to object to
hearing or reading the name OF his special poiti-
put through Congress with the purpose OF imme-
date enforcement, he could go before the appro-
pirate committees, enter his protest and try to
secure an adverse report, or at least a compro-
mise. The delay OF quarter-century In the en-
forcement OF law OF this sort, however, leaves
the final sufferers by 1t without resort.
In point of fact, however, it is fair TO suppose
that the change will be greeted with pleasure by
the persons directly affected. The designation of
streets by numbers and letters is great conve-
nience ordinarily, but It becomes cumbersome
when the designations are split. There is nothing
euphoniOus IN "Fifteen-and-a-half" as a street.
title. It Is a mouthful. 1t IS also inconsistent
with the common rule, In injecting numeral into
Q list Of ordinalS It would be a good idea, II
reform Is once started, to include in its scope
Four-and-a-half and Thirteen-and-a-half and any
other streets similarly entitled. Nobody thinks it
strange that Corcoran street or Riggs street, or
Grant place, running east and west, should be so
called, instead OF being christened by some kind
Of hybrid name indicating place midway be-
tween two letters OF the alphabet.

Mr.. Powderly shows his wisdom I'm declining to
interest himself further actively in politics as long
as he remains at the head OF the Knights OF Labor
There Is no room for two such all-abSOrbing sub
jectS In one mind. No honest labor reformer, of
course, can fan TO take deep interest In politics.
for ii is through the political channel that the
reform must eventually reach its goal, If at all.
There Is a broad difference, however, between the
participation OF a leader OF Mr.. Powderly's emil
hence In the work OF campaign, and the endeav-
ors OF a politician, ambitious of honors, to win
the work1ngmens vote by pledging his co-opera-
fion as legislator or executive. The two
things should never be confused either in fact or
in the popular mind. Mr.. Powderly is In a certain
sense dictator in the organization he represents
HIS activity in politics would expose him to the
suspicion OF himself seeking Office, and any act
In his capacity as General Master Workman which
did not suit everybody would be liable TO distor-
ton or misnterpretation. But, even IL he hedged
his conduct about with such safeguards as to dis
count all suspicion Of his own motives the public
would nevertheless hold him morally responsible
Tor any default on the part Of the candidates
whom he supported The only position Mr.. Pow
derby can AFFORD to hold is that OF an executive
ofieer OF his order, maintaining discipline within
II and enforcing the fulhlment OF promises made
TO IL by outsiders DESTROYS OF its favorS In such
place ia dignity and honor enough for one man,
long as It's authority Is wisely used.

The transfer OF the Aqueduct bridge from its pri-
vate owners TO the government OF the United
States is at last an accomplished fact 1t had been
so long delayed that only few hours OF grace re-
manned to keep 1t within the limitation imposed
by the statute OF the 21St of June. However the
rule OF "better late than never is applicable here
The title having passed, there is no power that
can prevent the conversion OF the bridge into free
highway except Congress, which has still the
right to repeal the appropriation already made or
refuse others that may be needed There is no
danger Of anything OF that sort, because the ten
dency OF federal legislation has been for years in
the direction OF broadening rather than circum-
scr1olng the privileges OF the people. 1t is prob
able therefore that in a comparatively short time
the Inhabitants Of Alexandria County. Va and
West Washington, d. c., can exchange visits as
freely as neighbors on the same side of the river
