GENERAL PLEAsANroN.
The Closing Days In tho Career of an OLD
Soldier.

Soldier.
The readers Of the generation which has
come OF age since the close Of the great civil
war In this Republic have gcen but little Of
the name OF the man " h. was at one time
the most lauded officer In the Union armies.
Prior TO the great strides OF genius which
placed Philip H. Sheridan In the fore front
Of cavalry leaders, Alfred Pleasanton had
brought the cavalry arm Of the service 10 a
state Of high efficiency. He II was who caused
the commanding officers Of tho armies and
corps 10 retract their former sneer, that
mo one ever saw a dead cayalryman. ~
Under Pieasanton the mounted men were
taught tnat their mission was something
higher than 10 guard wagon trains and
bring up the rear Of retreatlng armies. II
was he whose splendid service made the
cavalry arm valuable addition TO the ag.
gressive lighting soldiery OF the Republic.
During the years 1863 and 1864 the
newspapers were filed with descriptions Of
his movements and praises for his deeds.
when the war closed and Pleasanton, who
had rendered such magnificent service.
found that his relative rank In tho regular
army was much lower than when the war
commenced, lac resigned and concluded his
military life In the hottest kind Of a tenn.
per. Under General Grant he was an
pointed Commissioner OF Internal Revenue,
aud was a successful executive officer. By
influences understood In Washington be
was obliged 70 leave that position. For
several years past he has been knocking
az tho doors Of Congress asking for recog.
milton. The bill placing him upon the re.
tired list ~ the army as Major Of cavalry
was probably one OF the most meritorlous
which passed Congress at It's recent ses-
sion. The relief came none too soon. Gen
eral PleasantOn has passed the sere and
yellow leaf Of life, aud was not only in
need, but In broken health. TIC IS now con
tent, and comparatively happy.

1T SHOULD BE PRICELESS.

There are too many time-serving
people in this world-men who, in
politics and business, never rise
above the sordid consideration Of
money-making and money-saving,
By them, all questions are viewed
solely from the standpoint of per-
sonal advantage. In their estima-
ton no man is wilder than the one
who stands for principle, and refus-
es to truckle to wrong and outrage,
even when treachery to right and
justice would meet a golden reward.
They are of the earth, earthly
They have no ambition beyond that
of mere acquisition; ard no scru-
pies deter them from practically en-
dorsing outrages upon right and
1air-dealing, if by so doing they
may become even indirect partners
In the prontS OF greed. Ihey do
themselves no credit.
No true man will recognize so
low standard of conduct. No true
man will fall away in faithfulness to
that which is right because devotion
to truth may require a sacrifice. In
these days of sordid meanness, it is
refreshing to know that the ques-
ton SIS it right? p has still an abid-
ing place in the business purposes
and plans OF thousands, who refuse
to set price upon their manhood.

IN A PICKLE.

We do not doubt the privilege of
our people to send of after goods
and merchandise, when they want
to; but we do doubt the policy of
such practice, especially when
such things can be purchased just as
cheaply at home. If the people of
the different avocations made it a
rule to patronize enterprises in
other cities, our town would soon be
ruined as business place. Sup
pose our lawyers should make it a
rule to send away for their dry
goods and our dry goods merchants
should send away for lawyers when
needed, and our grocery men should
send away for mechanics and our
mechanics should send away tor
their groceries, and our doctors
should send away for their dry goods
and groceries and our people send
to some other place for physicians,
and all of them should send away
after printing and job work,
wouldn't the town be sin pickle?"
Let us all patronize each other and
keep our money at home.

PERJURY and false swearing are
crimes of common occurrence and
owing to the difficulty to prove
which statement is false under the
rules of law it is difficult to convict
the offender. Perjury does more to
bring the court into disrepute and
often to make farce out of a trial
than anything else, and it can only
be suppressed by the conviction of
those guilty. There are but few
important trials in which many wit
nesses testify, in which some witness
does not swear falsely, and puuury
and false swearing are committed in
many instances other than proceed
ings in court.
