The news Of the death of Gen. John A. Lo-
gan reached Belfast before it was known that
he was even seriously i'll, and the first report
was hardly credited. 1t was great surprise
and shock to people here AS elsewhere. Com
paratively young, and apparently strong ard
vigorous, few could have apprehended that
there We're not many happy years and further
honors in store for Gen. Logan, the iustrous
soldier and statesman. He had but recently
established himself in comfortable home of
his own in Washington, and there in the pres
ence of the devoted wife who had shared his
fortunes and largely aided in shaping them to
successful ends, of the son and daughter grown
to manhood and womanhood, and of sorrow
ing friends he passed away. The loss to his
country and to his party is great He was 4
bold and aggressive fighter in behalf of the
right, in politics on the battle fields, where
We're sown the seeds of the disease which cut
short his useful and honorable career. His
life was much laid down for the Union he
helped to save as though he had fallen in bat
tie, and in these later years he has added much
to the debt the country owes to his memory
and which is now being repaid in the general
manifestations of sorrow at his untimely end

Among the passengers who arrived By the

Miss Hayden, who left by the Hercules five
weeks ago on a trip to Labrador. They enjoy

follow their courageous example in making a
tour of this great and terrible wilderness
They describe the kindness and hospitality of
the people as unbounded. The good Moravian
missionaries at Hopedale opened their hospitable
doors to them and with them they spent very
pleasant fortnight.
OF course their experience furnishes a com
plete contradiction of those fabulous reports of
cold. hunger and deaths by starvation which
have been circulated in the press. The weather
was unusually fine, the ice disappeared at an
early date in June, everywhere the people were
busy in their fishing operations, and they heard
of of death by famine or even of any
restitution. The missionary ships, the Cleaner
and Harmony, had arrived at the various Mora
Wan mission stations, bringing ample stocks OF
provisions for the next twelve months The
ladies were quite anxious to see a polar bear OF
wolf. but of the many hundreds reported in the
newspapers as ravaging the country they failed
to see or even hear of single one.

A Little Joke of a Former Secretary of !
War.

Little Joke of Former Secretary of
War.
Washington Letter in Alta California.
Here is an auecdote which recalls an episode
occurring to one of Secretary Endicott,s prede-
cessors of the portfolio, Secretary Ramsey,
of Minnesota. During the incunbency of the
latter gentleman he INDUCED in trip down the
Potomac river one afternoon OH board Admiral
Porter's splendid steam yacht Falcon. Nearing
Fort Washington, some fifteen miles distant
Secretary Ramsey expressed a desire to inspect
the once famous fort, then. as now, in disman-
Element, and garrisoned only by an ordnance
sergeant. So the yacht made a landing at the
pier, when the United States army IN the per
son of the griZzled old ordnance sergeant, hur-
ried down and forbade the party from de5arking
in terms more forcible than polite, favored with
an unmistakable Milesian dialect
Secretary Ramsey, who is fond of a joke
vainly eXpostulated against closing approach to
American citizens, but the Quilted States army"
was okdurate and said he was acting under or
ders of the Secretary of War. After badgering
him awhile, to the intense amusement of the
company, Secretary Ramsey said:
We'll, Sergeant, | you obey orders strict
IL, and as you are acting under authority of the
Secretary of War, only the Secretary can revoke
modify the order"
Exactly. gentlemen" sternly replied the old
martinez $50 you might well be off and not
be pestering any longerl"
Gentlemen" said Secretary Ramsey, turning
TO mis- friends, will you kindly present me to
the Sergeant"
Sergeant said Admiral Porter, ':permit me
to present the Secretary of War, your superior
offcer"
''Holy Moses!" calculated the veteran, as he
brought his hand to salute. "And this is the
Secretary, and why didn't We let me know before
ye was coming9 would have been ready to re-
ceive ye for Inspection"
The pink of military propriety was in sore dis
tress. He had not been entirely polite and felt
himself derect He was, however put at his
ease by the Secretary, and the party ascended
the mill into the fort and were shown around the
rapidly oecaying quarters and other objects of
interest and curiosity. The Sergeant. however,
got his revenge upon the Secretary. When they
approached the magazine the Sergeant halted
the party and triumphantly said:
"Mr. Secretary, there is the magazine and
with due respect, sir. ! say you can't 60 into the
magazines that is against orders and regulations
There is just one place here over which you have
no authority, sir, and l can't show you the mag
azne."
Never mind the magazine" exclaimed the
Secretary: you are entirely correct Ser
geant" Turning to his friends. the Secretary
added very emphatically:. Hang me- if the
magazine is not just the place where | don't
want to 60 and prefer to give mighty wide
berth"
Sure there's no powder in it, Mr. Secretary
but you can't inspect it, just the same" was the
parting shot the Sergeant fired at the Secretary
as the party withdrew.

of the attendants accompanying the train. Be-
yond this, surfacemen were stationed at all
the level crossings, and no vehicle of any
kind was allowed TO pass for half an
hour before the royal train was due.

his orders would hardly have appreciated. Hol-
low-eyed and haggard, he paced up and down in
a cell in the central police station, and no one
came to bail him out
About o'clock Officer Fairfield asserts that
he found Irons at the corner of Main and Fifth
streets in intoxicated condition. At any rate
Irons was arrested and taken to the central sta
ton. where the officers in charge agreed with
the arresting officer that the fallen leader was
drunk, and he was locked up. The police say
that Irons has got into a position where ne is
amenable to the vagrancy laws. He said he was
living in Rosedale. Kan, and was not doing
anything at present.
Irons has become familiar figure to the peo-
pie whose business takes the M to the vicinity of
the City Hall. After the strike he located in

which he was seen in the Mikado saloon an I'M

TO the belief that he was the proprietor, but he
denied, last night. that he had ever owned it.
AT any rate, his connection with the saloon was
not profitable to him, and since the public ceased
to believe that he the proprietor he has
spent great deal of his time on the street
