From the Chicago 1nter-ocean.
| "a good whistler is, as a rule, the best
Of go fellows" said the Colonel. ave
had one fellow in our regiment who
| could whistle anything, and who wa:
generally moved 10 whistle his best when
the rest of us were feeling our worst
| The ua illness In soldier nature was prett,
sure TO como out at the tail end of 4
| long, muddy march, and the swearing al
| such times was very distressing 10 a mar
who had faith In human nature. At euet
times our gay whistler would strike Ut
| some favorite tune. The swearing would
cease, the boys would catch step, aud they
would go merr.ly along to the whistled
melody. After battle, when the men
were Respondent and discouraged, the
whistler OF the regiment would whistle
ender, plaintive tunes by the hour, and
know that no gave great comfort.
AFTER the battle OF Lookout Mountain
he was one Of the guards detailed to es.
| cort the prisoners taken In the mountain
fight down TO Bridgeport, where they
were to take the train for the North.
There were several hundred of them, and
the march down from CHATTANOOGA to
bridgeport was tedious one, but the
| slow progress brought about a close &C.
quaintance between the guards and the
prisoners, and on several occasions dur.
ing the march the cheerful whistle OF the
gay-hearted man IN blue cheered the
heavy-hearted men In gray, and they were
wont to call for music when the cfrcum-
stances Of the march were more than
usually distressing.
"As they started across the pontoon
bridge at Bridgeport, two lines of gray In
the centre and thin line of blue on each
outer edge, the whistler, In accordance
with very general call, started melody
| suited TO the occasion. The men caught
step, and Reb and Yank went swinging
across the bridge, Ignoring the command
OF the officers to change step. As the
column neared the centre, the march had
become a sort Of q Jollifcation, and, lust
as the jolllty was at its height, the bridge
parted in the middle, and, in an instant,
scores OF men were struggling In the
watcr.
"There was, of course, great confusion,
but IN good time all the men except three
or four were rescued. Among those
lost were one Ohio boy and two OF the
prisoners. The survivors were immed.
lately loaded into the train waiting.
Everyone was greatly detected. Just
before the train started there came from
the whistler, who, IN his wet clothes, was
the very image of discomfort, a soft,
tender melody. It was like the wall of a
child, like the song of a woman with O
heartbreak, but ended with something
that was like tribute to the dead, like a
story OF some one gone to rest ,snd scores
OF the prisoners stepped out to the
whistler and silently shook his hand"

who started to-day for New Pork, pre-.
paratory to going to the Congo region.
"They prefer to take prisoners, and Com.

1t Is singular fact that California has
no Sunday law. There was such a law,
but 1t was repealed in 1883; yet II cannot
be said that there is any less observance

On the contrary, an investigation shows
that Sunday is observed more as a sacred

the law was repealed.
