HE MISSED HIS CHANCE.
How a Lieutenant Lost His Assign
ment in the Cavalry.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Last June, a
few days before he would have graduated,
Arthur johnson, a member of this years
class at West Point, struck classmate
in a flt of anger. The offended youth, In
stead of resorting to the code of isticuffs
that is appealed to at the Point to settle
all personal differences, went off and re-
ported Johnson This procedure caused
the young man to he court martialed and
sentenced to confinement at the post until
Aug. %. He could not take his diploma
with his class, lost all the soft gayeties of
commencement week, when the fair sex is
given the freedom Of the post, and Ian
gushing in the guard house has suffered
the further punishment of losing the as
sgnment he would have had to cavalry
regiment. While he has been shut up,
the vacancies in the choice regiments
were all taken by his classmates, and but
for accidental vacancies in two regiments
OF cavalry there would have been nothing
for 1t but to 90 into the infantry. But two
vacancies did occur In cavalry regiments,
and Johnson applied for one of them in
the Fifth cavalry, Col. Merritts, which
is the ideal assignment in the newly
fedged Lieutenanps eyes. Gen. Drum
has decided that bis application cannot
be granted. as by his sentence he was re-
duced in precedence behind his class
mates and would thereby be Of necessity
left to assignment in an infantry regi-
ment. This young JOhnson's friends re-
sent as persecution, or something
much like it. They say he was
good student, a soldierly fellow,
popular and ordinarily well behaved.
II lad be not struck his classmate he would
surely have been assigned to a cavalry
regiment. In extenuaUion OF his ofense
it is stated that the man he struck was
spying and reporting offenders among the
tirst-class men just as If they had been
plehes, which was something no first-class
man of any spirit could well endure.
Johnson's friends will endeavor to get
Secretary Eudicott to interfere and let
the young Lieutenant Join the cavalry
arm of the sarVica.

When Cleveland was iuauguT ated Sedg-
wick made a pull for big foreign mis-
sion. He had strong mugwump ana So
cial backing. but he failed to secure an
appointment. The backbone of the arls-
tooratic political element has been broken
by the row raised IN the Democratic camp
over the selection of ERdicott, Phelps and
others of the old nObleSSe. Sedg"lcK re-
lapsed into social lie, and became what
is known as "club rounder." While
his head was never steady under the
influence OF champagne, his stomach was
ever true to him. No matter how Wlld
the escapade or how many the bumpers,
his excuses never "phaZ5d" him. he
lost neither springy step nor appetite.
am told that after a nights carouse. with
the morning hours spent at a friendly
game OF poker, he has been known TO walk
down Broadway without sleep, and, with
the eye of hawk aud the nerve OF a
sharpshooter, turn into DelmonIco's and
devour the largest and juciest porter
house steak with succulent relish.
Sedgwick is undoubtedly indebted to
his grandfather for his Mexican mission.
His grandfather was great chum OF the
grandfather OF Secretary Bayard. The
Massachusetts F. f. VS. have always
lovingly affiliated with the +. +. vs. of
Delaware, and nothing could be more
gratifying to a Bayard than to crafty a
Sedgwick. The Secretary, however, is
mistaken when he says that Arthur
Sedgwick is a thorough Spanish scholar.
Arthur has only a smattering of Spanish,
picked up in a trip TO South America
some years ago in the interests OF a
client. Whether the stery of his Mexican
spree be true or false, he is fully able to
d the bill and keep up his head in any
bout with gilded youth in the halls OF the
Aontezumas. ZIsKA.

The Tumble Weed.
From the Essline ID. IT, Ben

from the ESleLtt1e ID. IT, Bel.
The first OF the fall tumble weeds are
beginning to roll past. The tumble weed
is a peculiarly WesIern institution that
grows on the prairie and looks big and
round and green all summer. Ii it Is any
thing OF a season for tumble weeds it gets
as large as bushel basket. When fall
comes it breaks of close to the top of the
ground, jumps up and cracks its heels to-
gether few times, and then begins turn
ing handsprings across the prairie and
over barbed-wire fences. 1t Is not as fast
as the jack rabbit. which, when there is
political or other excitement around, only
touches along on the tops of the hills, but
1t has better STAYING powers than the jack
and will go 800 miles and into the British
possessions with a southeast wind and
come back the next day with a northwest
wind. On the trip 1t will brighten fifty
horses, help spread twenty prairie fires,
and tire out several young and inexpe-
rienced dogs.

Reading in Total Darkness.
From tho 81. James Gasette.

Though NJ. Chevreul, the veteran
French chemist, will complete his hun.
dredth year on. the last day of this month,
he had an experience day or two ago. OF
which 1t is safe to say he would search his
souvenirs in vain for a parallel. He re.
ceived visit in mis- laboratory from the
members OF the Chinese Mission in Paris,
and the conversation naturally turning on
the su bjscts Of light and color, which NJ.
Chevreul has spent his life in investigat-
ing, one OF the party astonished him
by declaring that he could see perfectly
without light, and he actually read some
pages Of book IN the dark. NJ. Chevreul
doubtless knows that a predecessor of his
own, Jerome Csrdan, famous savant OF
the sixteenth century. was credited with
the same power. And the younger Scali-
ger assures us that when be awoke from
his brief SAUNDERS he was able TO read in
tue dark without lighting his lamp. The
Younger Scaliger was rather given to
boasting, aud this statement OF his has
usually been classed with that Of his emf
nent contemporary and pathological rival.
the learned Buchanan, who claimed to
have discovered key to the language Of
the angelic choir; but the feat OF the living
Chinese goes some way TO establish the
genuIneness OF this particular pretension
OF the dead Grecian.

THE LAST GAMESPLAYED.
WINDING UP OF THE SOUTHERN
LEAGUE SEASON.

SavRnnsh's Defeats at Nashville Put the
Pennant Out of Her Reaoh-The Home
Team Released Last Night-Proba
biIity of Reorganization OF the
League Next Season.
The Southern League season ended with
yesterdays games at Nashville. The de-
feats which Savannah have filtered in the
closing series puts the pennant out OF her
reach. The team was to have been re-
1eased last night. The excitement OF the
people during the past few days has been
so great that base ball has not Deeu
thought of. Other and more serious
things than winning or losing the
pennant have concerned the public.
AS the matter now stands Atlanta will
beyond doubt keep the pennant and
claim the championship. The league di-
rectors will meet at an early day, and
questions that are to come up for their
disposition will be disposed of. The way
things now are the home club Will stand
second in position, with Nashvllle
third, Memphis fourth, Charleston
NTH and Macon last. Augusta
and Chattanooga having gone out OF the
race, they will not be given any position.
sCbattan0oga, however. reialns her IRAN
,chise and rs still a member Of the league.
There is very little talk about next years
organization, and what cities will COM
prise the league If it is continued. 1t is
doubtful whether more than one-haf OF
the cities that now hold franchises Will
put team in the field. Nashville Ia
anxious to secure the presidency, and no
doubt will If there is reorganization.
The clubs that have been talking about
re-signing their present players have
none of them taken any steps IN that
direction, and it is quite probable that the
league organization will be dropped.
The disinclinatiOn OF the National and
American Associations to extend the
privileges OF protection under the inter-
national agreement to minor leagues will
tend TO discourage their reorganization

A Schooner's Experience,

The schooner Island City, Captain
Voorhees,, arrived yesterday from Balti-
more with miscellaneous cargo. TheCap-
tain says that on Tuesday night his vessel
was in Chesapeake bay, and that he did
not detect any disturbance at all and did
not know that there had been an earth
quake, but on Friday night, about II
o'clock, when off Charleston, he heard a
sound which gave him the impression
that the vessel had run over a wreck. On
sounding he found by the lead that they
were in ten fathOms of water, and he could
not account for the disturbance under the
vessel until he arrived here.
