With all these honors crowding upon
him Mr.. Benson WAS not happy. He
pinned for the rude shock OF combat.
Six months had passed and no one had
been killed. The only gore spilled was
contributed by Benson, who, in an I'M
guarded moment allowed government
mule TO kick his front teeth against the
roof Of his palate. Another thing which
CALLED Benson was the limited quantity
and doubtful quality of the female So
ciety. He longed 20 mingle in the giddy
whirl of the military dance, gaze into
the blue depths of pretty eyes and carry
confusion into the hearts Of the frontier
damsels. He had been given TO under
stand that when not engaged in slaught-
ering red men the soldier was made the
pet and lion of lovely women, who laid
at his feet the homage which beauty
pays to valor. 1t was not so at Jeller-

Zen i.u,lers Discovery.

A Washington special says a very un.
pleasant episode has come to light in
the pending Butler-Porter controversy.
General Butler went TO the Navy / e.
Eartment to hunt up the log book of the
Harriet Lane. The Lane was Porter's
ship, and her log book would, Of course,
have shown conclusively whether Adj
miral Porter ran away, as Gen. Butler
says he did, or whether he didn't.
Gen. Butler obtained Secretary Tracy's
permission TO consult the log book and
make all the transcriptions he needed
But when Gen. Butler began hunting
among the files for the log it was gone.
Some one had distracted it. He report
ed the fact to Secretary Tracy, who i'm
mediately gave orders that a thorough
search should be made. a number OF
clerks were Immediately detailed 20
hunt it up. They included men who
have been in the department since the
war aud are familiar with every Dle and
record in the library.
An exhaustive and systematic search
was begun and every book and paper
was examined, every bundle OF old dec.
uments was overhauled, but in vain,
The old log book, which Will either de-.
stroy or vindicate the Admiral of our
Navy, was gone.
1t is hardly necessary 80 say to what
influence Gen. Butler ascribes the dis.
appearance of the log book and he know
that its disappearance at just this time
will insure Admiral Porter moro than
anything it may contain.
