OLD GENERAL HARVEY.

Jefferson Davis wrote ten years ago
his recollections of old General Harvey,
who has just died and whom he knew
in 1929. He was them" said Davis.
physically the finest man ever saw.
Tall, straight, muscular, broad-chested
and gaunt-waisted, he was one of the
class which Trelawney describes as
natures noblemen. against whom the
plague in the East never made an
attack. Had he lived in the time of
Homer he would have robbed Achilles
of his sobriquet of swift-footed, for he
would run faster than q white man,
farther than an Indian, and in both
showed that man was organized to be
master of the beast. To elucidate the
last clause of the preceding paragraph
requires the recital of an anecdote.
Captain Harvey carefully attended to
his company's garden. which on the
frontier was necessary for the comfort
as well as the health of the men. The
beds had been carefully spaded and
roped, when one of the numerous dogs,
q half-grown mongrel hound, came
walking across the carefully prepared
ground. and the Captain, storming at
him in tones and language not suited
to the pulpit, frightened the dog 90
that instead Of going out by the walk
he ran across the bed toward q gap in
the fence. The Captain started in full
run after the dog. which had to jump
on the fence and then on it-fatal dis
parity to the dog!-for the Captain
cleared the fence at q bound, which
brought him q jump nearer to the dog,
and then he began an even run up the
long slope which led to the fort, before
reaching which Harvey mastered the
dog and Rover suffered in proportion
to the length of the chase. Captain
Harvey was also . bold horseman and
fond Of the chase, good boatman and
skillful in the use of spear a. .
fisherman. Neither drinking nor gam
ing. he was clear of those rocks and
shoals Of life in . frontier garrison,
and is no doubt indebted to this alb
stineuce for much of the vigor he has
posseeeed to his present advauced sgs."
