Private IInmlin,

Did You ever know" asked gentle
man at the Union League Club ban
quet, that Hannibal Hamlin once
served this government in dual ca
phcity, holding q position near the top
of the ladder and another near tie bot

The reporter admitted that he had
never heard of the incident.
well, he did, p" said the club man.
while lie was Vice President of the
United States he served for time rs a
private in the volunteer ARMY. Queer
idea, wasn't it? I'll tell you how It
happened.
"E"u SOC, he was an honorary member
of little c0mpanv Of militis in Bangor,
Me, and when Lincoln issued Ills hall
for troops, it promptly responded and
came to Washington. There it was
ordered to the navy yard to do guard
duty, and to the surprise of every one

go with it, The officers rather rtl,ellej

Why not 2 he asked. IF I'm good

of the company. guess | lin good
enough to be private
And he shouldered gun and went
with them. Well, at the navy yard

not do 20 put the distinguished private
on guard duty, but he objected again,
and pcrtiuently inquired:
"Wha. an | here for-to look

And the result was that he marched
up ami down is n sentinel in his regular
turn. odd, wasn't il? Imagine the
Vice President of the United States re.

"Then when the com: any was mus

WE can hardly overestimate the
value of the stride made already to-
ward the discovery and invention of
explosives that are safe for carriage
and handling. Dynamite has been a
source of anxiety and danger only
worse than gun-cotton as that was
worse than powder. But as it was
with illuminating materials, so with
explosives. We have in bellite sub
stance that can be thrown about
roughly. A cartridge may be broken
in two and burned in fire, where it
will consume slowly. 1t may even be
lighted while held in the hand and no
danger be incurred; or, what seems
more wonderful, fragment of bellite
may be fired from a gun without ex-
ploding when striking an iron target.
Yet, fired by a detonator, the new ex-
plosive is far more powerful than dyna-
mite
