Col Augustus Choteau Paul has been APP
pointed Captain of the Watch for the State,
War and Navy Departments, comprising the
whole of that grand building Just west of the
Executive Mansion which will be forever
monument to the architectural skill of A. B.
Mullett. As propose here only TO tell of Col.
Paul will omit any expressions of my adj
miration of Mr.. Afullett's grand architectural
achievement
Col Paul is the eldest son of that gallant SOL
der, Gen. Gabriel Rene Paul. who was so sore
" wounded at Gettysburg as to lose the
sight of both eyes, aud who was placed on the
retired list by an act Of Congress with the full
pay and emoluments of his rank of Brigadier-
General. Col Paul entered the service in 1861
as a mere boy, but was soon made Captain and
Assistant Acknowledgement declining u COM
mission then in the Regular Army, and served
until the end of the war in that grade being
meantime brevetted Lieutenant Colonel. He
was appointed Lieutenant in the Sd u. s. Cav
in 1866, and served in that gallant regiment
until he resigned in 1880, when still First
Lieutenant He is related by marriage to Gen.
Sheridan, and is cousin OF the wife of Gen. ID.
II. Rucker formerly Quartermaster-G General of
the Army.
The post remained untitled for nearly year,
and meantime Capt. George E. Tyson was an
applicant for the position, and it seemed to be
positive that he would get it, Capt. Tyson is
the famous seaman who was Capt. Halls navi-
gator on the Polaris, in the Arctic, and COM
manded that little band of 10 souls-including
month-old baby-that was separated from
the Polaris and fioated for more than six months
through storm and Arctic night until rescued
at last from foe of ice not much larger than
the hall where Capt. Tyson now stands guard.
The writer sailed over the same route a year
later, from the point where Tyson and his lit
tie band were rescued, to the place where they
foated away from tho Polaris, and he thinks
that no hero ever lived who deserves more
credit than Tyson does Subsequent tragedies
of the Arctic served to obliterate the memory
of his wonderful work from the mind of the
| public but say here-and / think l know
whereof I speak-that no grander heroism
was ever known to the worlds history, than
Tyson's experience during that six and a hall
months fight against cold, storm and starva
| ton.
