A Mexican War Relic.

Col. George S. Jones, of Manila, Rush
county, Ind, Especial Examiner of the
Pension Bureau, has in his possession a
gold medal presented to Gen. Winfield
Scott by the State of Virginia, which he
found in his travels a short time ago.
This medal has inscribed upon it a copy
of the resolutions presenting it in full
on one side, and on the other is a monu-
ment bearing the anne of the various
battles in which Gen. Scott disting uish-
ed himself from the war of 1912 to the
Mexican war, inclusive, with a beauti-
full contour of the Capital City of Mex
leo resting upon its romantic hills, and
the battle and movement of the troops
at its capture. The medal weighs twelve
ounces avoirdupois, and is made of fine
gold. There is an interesting history
connected with it's preservation during
and since the war. 1t has been in the
soldiers camp and on the battlefield, in
the curiosity-shop with the old waste
metal, and in the jewelers. shop to be
worked into rings, it's possessor little
knowing its value or the kind of metal
of which it is composed. But the magic
name of "Winfield Scott" has almost
miraculously saved it from destruction.
Col. Jones will take steps to preserve
it.

that any precaution had been taken to

of England, which is the great deposit
tory of the city of Tendon, and is per-
haps the largest financial institution Of
the world, is conducted on far different
principles. Every night a visitor who
happens to be in the neighborhood of
T~hreadneedle street will find a squad of
soldiers from the barracks in the West
End filing down to take their positions
as the nightwatch. These men are kept
on duty from the time the bank closes
until it opens on the following day.
There are posted at all sections, and
pace the street surrounding the bank
with a regularity of sentries around a
camp. l do not know but that your
system is far more attractive, to a for

ticians term the effete monarchies of

An Interesting Incident.

Col. Musser relates an interest
ing incident of army expert
ence which occurred while he was In
command of the post at Washington,
Ark. in the summer of 1884. The story
as related is told by a federal officer, a
prisoner in camp, to Capt. James T.
Otey of the 9Th Missouri infantry. The
captain was playing the part of the hos
pital host toward his guest and prisoner,
through the medium of couple of tin
cups and a jug filled with homemade
whisky, clear as crystal and uncontam-
mated by an excise tax. Lieut.. Boren
was a federal officer in an Ohio regi-
ment and has fallen intoSthe hands of
Dick Taylor about the time of Banks
Red river expedition. Becoming weary
of captivity and disguised with confed-
crate r%ations, he planned with several
of his fellow-prisoners a scheme by which
at least n of their members might
make his escape. Whisky poker was
played to determine which one should
be given the first chance. Lieut.. BoreD
won. In accordance with the scheme
agreed to he feigned death, was buried
by his comrades in a shallow grave, and
succeeded IN making his resurrection
after the departure of the confederates
and companions. The deserted grave
was discovered during the day by some
loiterers about the camping-place, and
the rusei dropped Onto" and reported
to the commandant at Marshfield, La.,J
who Immediately set a pack of blood
hounds to track the fugitive. After the
trail was struck all of these but one
were called off. This one continued the
pursuit. and at the end of the third day
overlook and traced the lieutenant in
the dense woods neal Washington, Ark.
The hound guarded the tree for three
days and three nights, until the soldiers,
who took their time in the pursuit, ar
rived and again took charge of the we'll
nigh starved fugitive.-St. Louis Repub-

A Tale OF An "H.o

Charles Whymper, the well-known
sngraver and animal painter OF Lon
Ion, told a Pittsburg Dispatch man
che following story a few years ago:
II dined at Alderman So-and SOS
last night, and as a mark of honor
nis eldest daughter was assigned to
me to take down to dinner. She's q
bright girl, but the way she drops her
his is enough to make a mans hair
turn gray. But l got along very
nicely with her, and Lady Blethsring-
ton on the other side, until the ladies
were on the eve of retiring to the
drawing room. "The Alderman had
but recently moved out to Highgate;
and | was talking about the beauti-
full scenery near the house, the views
to be had from the windows, the fine
air, and SO on, when Miss-sud-
denly said, 1thinkI get prettierevery
day, don't you?"
what did she mean? / didn't dare
to answer her, so | said, Il beg your
pardon-what did you say"
"Isaid l think | get prettier every
day.
"There asn no mistake in her words,
SO | said, Yes, | think so too, and no
wonder i'll such fresh air and
"but just then she, caught her
mothers eye, and with the other
ladies she rose and left the room. As
she went out she looked back over
her shoulder with such a whitening
scorn in her eyes that l knew l had
put my foot in it somehow. Then il
dashed upon me- thatI had misunder.
stood her; she had dropped AMI what
she had said was not a silly compli-
ment to herself-the sentence really
was, 4 think Highgate prettier every
day"
l think Mr.. Whymper was never
invited to Alderman So-and-so's
again.

Mai. Rundy,s whisky Shot.

Some interesting things, says the
Kenesaw Gazette, are remembered by
Sherman's Atlanta campaign veterans
in connection with Lieut.. Bundy, COM
manding a battery of artillery-now
known as Mai. Bundy, and Que of the
editorial writer's on Deacon Shepard's
New York Mail and Express.
Lieut.. Bundy had a tooth for a good
toddy, and n morning at Kenesaw
mountain had sampled some Diamond
B" commissary with some other officers,
and reached his battery in excellent
spirits. Soon Col. Geary rode that way,
and, observing the lieutenant, gruffly
addressed him like this:
"Lieut. Bundy, you are drunk!'
Bundy answered back quick as a flash:
"Col. Geary, you are a d liar!"
Here was a situation. Geary was
about to put Bundy under arrest, saying
to him..
"You are so drunk you don't know
that gun from a hollow log"
81 don't, eh! I'll show you whether
I do or not. See that bunch of rebs
over there?' pointing to a group of con-
federate officers taking an observation
from an eminence half a mile away,
"Just watch me scatter EN-"
Selling the tail of a gun, he jerked it
around, got the range, adjusted every
thing to his liking, gave the order to
fire, exploding a four-inch shell right in
the midst of the group of confederates,
who hastily retired to cover, carrying
with them their wounded.
Col. Geary withdrew his offensive re-
marks, complimented Bundy on his
skill, and rode away.
Lieut.. Bundy was IN expert artillerist,
| and could land q shell about where he
| wanted to.
The writer has often heard it said by
federals who ought to know that he
fired the shot that killed Gen. Polk.

DOMESTIC RELATIONS OF MR.. CLEVELAND

Positive DcniaI Of tho Scaadalous Stories
Heretofore Circulated.
Chicago special: The Tribune this
morning prints q long dispatch from its
Washington correspondent relating to
the scandalous stories which for the
past year have been industriously circu-
lated regarding the domestic relations
of President Cleveland, and which were
made conspicuous again q short time
ago by the publication of their nausest-
ing details in a New York paper which
SIS supposed to be the presidents organ.
The Tribune's correspondent called on
Mrs. Secretary Whitney, who has been
Mrs. Cieveland's most intimate friend
in Washington, and in response to a re-
quest for her opinion regarding these
stories, she talked to him at length,
making the most positive and unqual-
flied denial Of them in their entirety.
She related many charming incidents OF
the presidents home life, which go to
show that such stories as have been cir
-culsted are manifestly absurd. Regard
ing the president himself. Mrs. Whit
ney says that the stories that the presi-
dent becomes intoxicated frequently are
false as all the rest. He Is O temperate
man. She could not understand how
people could give credence to the stories
about him, for he is gentle and consid-
crate. Mrs. Cleveland, she said, has
been kept in ignorance of most of the
stories and has never known the full ex-
tent to which the hideous scandal has
grown. After the Massachusetts minis
ter had made public his story last spring
she wrote a note, which was given to
the press at that time, saying how hap
py her life was. and later her mother
wrote a kind note about her son-in-law.
Mrs. Cleveland has not known but that
these statements we're sufficient to kill
the scandal. Mrs. Whitney gave the
reporter full permission to quote all she
had said and hoped it would be the last
of the stories

Probabilities for an Extra Session.

Washington special: From the very
first, owing to the closeness of the
next house, and the condition of leg
i%slative affairs, there has been a more
or less general impression at the cap
ital that the ffty-frst congress
would be called to meet in special ses-
sion. In referring to the matter to-day,
Representative Reed, of Maine, said
that there are a great many things that
seem to tend toward an extra session.
It was, in his opinion, entirely too early
to know certainly about it, but present
conditions and circumstances seemed to
indicate an early meeting. He said that
he did not regard the failure of the
democratic caucus last night as making
it by any means certain that the terri
tories would not be admitted. If they
we're disposed to do the right thing
there would be legislation on this thing
this session. This he did not think
would necessitate nor obviate an extra
session. It would be but one thing out
of the way.
Mr.. Browne of Indiana, who is one of
the republican members of the ways
and means committee, said that he ex-
pected an extra session, but thought it
unwise for it to be called to meet before
October. His principal reason for OPP
posing an earlier meeting was the an
noyance the presence of congress and
its attendant army of Office seekers
would be to the president on entering
upon his administration.
Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio, said he was
opposed to an extra session, but he very
much feared that one would have to be
called. "I think it will be So" he said.
Both Mr.. Mckinley and MI. Burrows
have expressed the opinion that an ex-
ira session is very probable. The SEN
ators are very cautious about speaking
on the subject of an extra session, e1-
cept when in conference with their COL
leagues.

Wssdins Out The IrsubIeseme Elements.


Columbus CO., dispatch: General
Master Workman Powderly, speaking
last evening of the recent Indianapolis
convention, said:
We are wedding out the troublesome
elements. For some time there has
been an anarchistic element in the or
der. These fellows, who are at war with
all our institutions, feel perfectly happy
when they get into the order and suc-
coed in stirring up quarrels. We have
no room for any kind of anarchists in
the country. They have opposed me
and it has simply been u question of
whether they should so or I. So far l
have come out ahead. The Knights of
Labor, it is true have declined in mem
bership. Such organizations have their
ebb and flow. But now we are prosper
ols and the membership is growing.
We are not opposed to strikes, but be-.
iieve in reason before strikes, not strikes
and reason afterwards. Sometimes We
are compelled to strike, but it is often
better to bear the ills we have than fly
to others that we know not of. What
we want is cooperation all around. I
believe in the education of the working
men. do not mean hat every work
ingman should have a college education,
but that he should be educated to take
q broader view Of affairs. In other
words, he should know more of the peo-
pie in other callings of life, and the
business men should know more about
the workingmen.
There is no conflict between the
knights and the trades unions. We can
work together in regard to legislation,
in securing new laws and the repeal of
Objectionable laws. There is more ne
cessity at present for the repeal of bad
laws than there is for the enactment Of
new laws

"Unser Fritz and a Yankee Doctor.

1t is told hat while the late Emperor
Frederick was in London for the queens
jubilee, Sir Morell Mackenzie introduced
a noted American doctor to him. After
a careful examination of his throat the
imperial patient, in his usual cheerful
ann inquired: Il suppose an imperial
throat is very much like that of other
mortals:" "Well, sir" came the quick
reply, 1--WE will try and make it SO, at
any rate" The then crown prince thor
oughly appreciated the quick Yankee
wit, and, striking his broad chest, said:
"But this is all right, is it not?' The
Yankee gravely looked the splendid pro-
portions of the illustrious patient up
and down and then deliberately drawled
out: "As for the rest, sir, you would
make a good American Fritz's merri-
