WILL Do DOUBLE DUTY.

Gen. SchOfield to Assume Com
mand of the Army and Remain
in Charge of the Division of the
Atlantic.
Special to the Globe
WASHINGTON. Aug. lion Monday
next an order will be issued by the
president placing Maj. Gen. Schofield
in command of the army. He will be
directed to remain in command of the
division of the Atlantic and department
of the East until arrangements looking
to his relief from those duties can be
perfected. The situation is rather COM
pllcated as there are not sufficient
number of general officers to fill the
commands. Army officers sug-
gest that congress could simplify
matters by making Gen. Schofeld lieu
tenant general OF the army. This would
open the way for promotions all the
way along the line and relieve the strain
on The general officers consequent upon
a doubling up of commands. Gen.
Schofield's personal staff will be Coils.
Pitcher, Bliss and Sawyer. All three of
these officers have been on his staff for
some time. The members of the late
Gen. Sheridan'S staff will, of course, be
assigned to other duty. Col. Kellogg
will doubtless rejoin his regiment, the
Fifth cavalry. Col Sheridan will re-
main here to complete the memoirs of
his famous brother. Col. Blunt may re-
main here on duty in connection with

This action cancels joint commit

Result Of the Convention Yester-
day in Jackson County.
Special to the Globe.
LAKEFIED, Aug. u.-Pursuant to
call the Democratic mass convention
of Jackson county met at this place to-
day. The convention organized by
electing A. ID. Palmer, of Hunter,
chairman, and Hart j. HOLSTER, Of
Lakefield, secretary. The office
of chairman of the Democratic
central committee being vacant,
the vacancy was flied by the election
of e. w. Hall. II. J. HOLSTER, of Lake
field, was elected secretary of the cen
trail committee. The county committee
was then completed by electing two ad-
ditional members from each township.
1t was decided to place full Demo-
cratic county ticket in the field
this fall, and September Is was set for
the time of holding said convention at
this place. The election of delegates to-
the congressional convention at Manka-
to August IA, resulted as follows: John
f. Jones, of Heron Lake and ID. M. De
Wore, of Jackson. The delegates
are probably favorable to Hon.
NJ. S. Wilkinson for congress.
The same gentlemen will represent the
county at st. Paul on the 18th. They
are uninStructed, but are understood to
be for (. NJ. Wilson for governor. This
convention was in favor of harmony.
and opposed to the factional fight now
being waged. For the first time in the
history Of the county the Democratic
party is thoroughly organized and in
earnest for Cleveland and tariff reform.

MONDE.

Anamusing "rocking" incident occur
red Sunday afternoon, and the facts, as
CLEANED by the g0ssips, are as follows:
Be it known first Of all that it is Gus
tomary for man to ask his best girl to
20 with him to the rocks; if he has no
be st girl, then the next best. etc. A
chappIe who was there for Sunday only
asked a good-looking girl to whom he
had just been presented TO go rocking"
with him. 'Yumps''-and they started
Off. Upon reaching one of the softest
rocks, in his endeayOr to assist her to
climb, he landed her in one of the pools,
of which there are many in the receSSes.
This dampened his spirits somewhat.
and naturally made him very DESTROYS
of redeeming himself i'll her eyes.
Reaching their resting place at
last, he undertook to playfully
''mash' her, asking her to call him
Tommy" and not only attempted to
take her hand, but to take the measure
of her fairy-like waist. She very indig-
nantly asked him if he took her for a
lemon. and proceeded to lay him out
with a lecture. She then arose and
wendell her weary way homeward-
alone. He followed, sadder but a
wiser man. Sometimes you make a
mistake in the girl.

country. We arrive here only to find
the streets are as brilliantly lighted as
Broadway. They bring insects and
mosquitoes and interfere with the out
look to sea-" Another theory is that
they are a great protection to ladies.
Now ladies can walk from house to
house without fear of insult.
Who is the belle of the Pier this sea-
son? A question hard to answer. There
are too many lovely girls here, and
mems attention is too much divided
for any one girl to lay claim to the
crown of belledom. Each set has its
bright particular star which it worshipS,
but aSyet there is no fixed planet.
II there ever was terrestrial paradise
for men of the right kind, if the society
of sweet womanhood goes toward Great

are girls here from nearly every city in

Der. The following is a list of some of
the beauties of the Pier and the cities

virtues; Angelina grew daily in health
and beauty, and Tomaso had given to
his parents no other subject of disquiet-
ude than a gravity and maturity of
character too precOclOus for his age. He
was CorSican, in short, from head to

AUSTERE AND MAGNIFICENT.
One evening during the time when
the gossip regarding the Carpi family
WAS creeping through the city, Tomaso,
returning from hunting the bartarelle
from the haunts in the thickets, stopped
at the fountain OF the Madonna Marie
to quench his thirst with draught of
its water. Moreover, as he knew very
well, it was possible to see from the
corner of the Place Paoli the house of
the old Giuseppe RubbO, father of the
beautiful Giuseppe, who sang always
from morning to night, and with the
silvery tones of a nightingale. He had
also laid aside a couple Of the baratelles
for his accustomed gift to the singers
family, but to-day the door remained
firmly closed, the blinds were even
drawn, and the voice of the nightingale
did not make itself heard.
Weary of waiting and signing little,
the young hunter rose up at last to re-
gain his home; but it seemed to HIM as
he passed along that his salutations to
those he met on the road were received
with strange Indifference, and that
several times the heads were turned
away.
"What can it be?" he said to himself.
"What is the matter HEREOF and without
pausing moment he planted himself
before the next one he met, trusted
friend of the family, as it happened, and
bluntly asked him the question.

Tomaso, astonished. ''Well?"

passed into the Office where the inspector

verified for the last time the books of
the collector.

people. He was an ideal hero. He was
one who was held in high esteem
throughout the civilized world, but es-
pecially was he beloved by his country
men. Other great men they esteemed
and trusted, but for Gen. Sheridan they
had only love. Within the heart of
every American, whether Jew or Cen
tile, there was sacred place for the hero
of Winchester, because he fought not
for glory, but to kill war; fought that the
unsheathed sword might not pass again
through our land, carrying with it the
terrible front of devastation, of misery
and death. We, too, as Jews, can honor
the memory. can bless the hero, Sheri-
dan-he who liberated millions of slaves
by his sword. The voice of the cannon
will die away, but the deeds of a just
man never can-they are embalmed in
history. The place where the body of
Gen. Sheridan will be placed to rest for
evermore will be sacred. 1t will be as
symbol of his character.

But was it as bad as this with Taddeo

was collector of taXeS-aS much for his
| personal merit and integrity as for the
name he carried, for the Carpi of Cor
Sica. as every one knew, were family
of ancient and noble ancestry, whose
pr0bity of.life and character were pro-
verbal in a country where even the
bandits were men of honor. By the
will of his mother, woman of great
beauty and exalted sentiments, TaddeO,
had been sent to finish his studies
and spend his youth in Paris, but had
returned to marry in his own country,
and to marry after the fashion of all
true Corsicans, his relative, Caterina
Bolllni, daughter of a cousin from
Bastia. Beautiful and good, she had
been selected by Mad. Carpi as one we'll
fitted to be the mother of her future
grandchildren.
OF this marriage, an ideally happy
one, two children had been the issue
Tomaso, who had turned his seven
teenth year, and the little Angelina, not
yet nine. For several years, when these
events occurred, the grandmother had
slept beneath the tlOWery ground.
Thus had Taddeo lived in the midst of
his little family, prosperous, put beyond
the need of worry by his position of col
lector of taxes, an honored father and
envied husband, when all at once he had
become, as the neighbors had said, and
without any one knowing why, tactiturn
