FINE sHARP-sHooTINc.
A HOOsier Soldier who Brought Dow
his Man Every Time he Shot

A HOOsier Soldier who Brought Down
his Man Every Time he Shot.
The historian of the One Hundred and
Fifteenth New York regiment pays in
cidentally tribute to the Thirteenth
Indiana of the same brigade. 1t prob
ably fought more battles, he says, than
any other regiment in the Tenth Army
Corps, and was celebrated throughout
the army for it's bravery and splendid
| fighting qualities. Its numbers became
at last so reduced that it was specially
organized and armed IS a battalion OF
sharp-shooters.
At one point in front of Petersburg,
where a squad of the Indiana boys were
watching the movements of the enemy,
several of their number were rapidly
picked off, and the survivors could form
no idea where the fatal bullets came
from.
Finally, one man, shrewder, and ii
possible, drawer than the rest, declared
that he would take his position on the
fatal spot, and find out the author of the
bloody work, if it cost him his life. So,
with select party of comrades, he re.
paired to the place, and began eagerly
watching the enemy's lines.
For three or four hours all was quiet.
but at last anegro was observed walking
leisurely along the Confederate works.
He carried in his arms long fence rail.
which he threw carelessly across the
san d-bags in front of him, and then dis
appeared.
In moment the crack of a rife wai
heard, and one of the Indiana boys fell
over dead, shot through the forehead.
Our hero saw at once that the negro was
the man who had played such
havoc with our boys, and that the inno-
cent looking fence rail contained a
rife.
He kept a sharp lookout, and present
ly saw the negro aiming fence rail at
him. He drew up his rife, aimed quick
~, and two rifles cracked at the same
instant. The champion of the fence
rail fell over dead, and the Indiana man
received slight wound in the scalp.
This was the end of the mysterious fire
to which our sharp-shooters had been
subjected.
One evening, says the New York
soldier, this same man came up where
the One Hundred and Fifteenth lay, and
gave us an exhibition of his skill.
The regimental flag was strapped to a
post on the breastworks, and all day the
enemy's sharp-shOoters had been trying
to cut it down. Toward evening they
opened an embrasure in the fort op-
posite, and began throwing cannon-balls.
Boys" said the Indiana sharp-shoot-
er, ''they are trying to cut down your
flag, are they? Just let me get up to
the works, and III shut up their music. :"
The embrasure was a mile distant,
but Indiana" took aim, fired, and to the
surprise of all, the bullet entered the
hole, causing several heads to disappear
in an amazingly short time.
He fired five shots, and put four of the
five into the embrasure, and the John
MES, not liking such sharp practice,
ceased firing, and nothing more was
heard of that cannon for several days.

Death of a Female Veteran.

Mrs. Catherine Chase died at Pater-
son, N. j., recently. Mrs. Chase was a
nurse in the field of battle during three
years, serving in the Army of the Poto-
mac. She dressed the wounds and whis-
pered words of comfort to many man
gled soldier at the battle of Fair Oaks,
Seven Pines, Savage's Station, Antie-
tam, Charlottesville, Gettysburg,
through the Wilderness and in front Of
Petersburg, clear up to the surrender of
Lee at the close of the war. Her hus-
band was in the Sixty-second n. Y, and
Mrs. Chase always marched with the
regiment, refusing to get into an ambu-
lance so long as there was wounded or
sick soldier deserving to be carried.
She never received a pension or
other financial aid from the Govern
ment; but her services were recognized
in many official records. She served
her country as ably as any soldier
ever battled for his country. Her
husband, beside being a veteran of the
late war, was soldier in the Mexican
war. He receives a small pension for
the latter, but none for the former, al
though he was several times wounded.
He is now quite an old man and very
feeble and incapacitated for work. He is
a member of Farragut Post, and Mrs.
Chase was member of the w. r. c.

Home Treatunant.

C8tarrhI UtAlneSs-Hhy EeEer-A New
Home Treatment.
Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence Of living parasites
in the lining membrane Of the nose and
eustachian tubes Microscopic research,
however, has proved this to be fact and
the result Of this discovery is that simple
remedy has been formulated whereby
Catarrh, Hay Fever and Catarrhal Deafness
are permanently cured in from one to three
simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not SNUFF or an
ointment; both have been discarded by
reputable physicians as injurious. A pamph-
let explaining this new treatment is sent on
receipt of three cents in stamps to pay

THE LIQUOR INTEREST.

How it Runs Troy, n. v, with the Aid of
the Democratic Machine.
1t has been so long since the saloon
keeper has had free swing in Iowa that
a good many of the younger generation
sary to look to some of the older States
for information. The city of Troy, n.
Y, has a population of something less
than one hundred thousand. 1t is very
strongly Democratic, and the strength of
Its Democracyis seen in the kind of men
it has put forward for city officers. A
staff correspondent of the New York
Tribune gives the following list of public
officials in Troy and the county in which
it is situated, together with their regular
occupation:
CITY OFFICERS.
Mayor-Dennis ]. Whelan, brewer.
Alderman-Michael A Tierney, brewer.
Alderman-J. H. Mead, saloon-keeper.
Alderman-Michael Heating, saloon keeper
Alderman-P. S. Fitzgerald, brewer.
Alderman-M II. Scott saloon-keeper.
Alderman Bernard J. Rourke, saloon-keeper
Alderman-John Purcell saloon-keeper.
Alderman-W. D. Cox, bar-keeper.
Alderman-James Quinn, saloon keeper.
Aldermsn-John T. Hogan, saloon-keeper.
City Experimentation Quigley, saloon
keeper.
City Clerk-John J. Mccormack, brewery
clerk.
Police Justice-william Donohue, brewer.
Sealer Of Weights and Measures-Henry Len
non, saloonkeeper
Assessor-Michael Tierney, brewer.
Sanitary Inspector-Bryan Smollin, saloon
keeper.
Coni+orv TnSnac+o- u c EN%z1arold eoIoon

Charity Commissioner-Thomas Calvin, broth
or Of saloon-keeper.
Charity Commissioner-Pat Bolton, saloon
keeper.
Superintendent of the Poor-John Fleming,
saloon-keeper.
Water Commissioner-D J. whelan. brewer.
President Of the Civil Service Board-John F.
Ahern, saloon-keeper.
Police and Excise Commissioner-James
Fleming, saloon-keeper.
Police Captain-EdwardJ J. McKenna. saloon
keeper.
School Commissioner-Thomas d. Hendy, So
loon-keeper.
Fire William Holmes, saloon
keeper.
Superintendent of Burial Grounds-JOhn Col
Inns, saloon-keeper.
COUNTY OFFICERS.
County Clerk-Daniel E. Conway. brewer.
COMMANDMENTS ]. Cummings, saloon-keeper.
Coroner-John Foy, saloon-keeper.
Supervisor-Patrick Kenney, oon-keeper.
Supervisor-John humane, saloon-keeper.
Supervisor-John Collins, loon-keeper.
Supervisor-James A Burke, saloon-keeper.
Supervisor7John H. McGrath. saloon-keeper.
1t only remains to be seen that every
man in the above list is Democrat; that
the laws for the regulation and control
of the saloon are disregarded and that
the license fees from the 700 saloons,
from which the city should receive an
nuallY between $4,000 and $4,000. in
reality averages about $4,000 year

A dispatch from Deming, New Mexico, says: "Lieutenant Schwatka has arrived here. His party has been successful beyond expectations in their explorations, and especially in South ern Chihuahua, where llYing cliff and cave dwellers were found in great abundance, wild as any og the Mexican tribes at the time of Cortez's conquest. Tie abodes they i've In are exactly similar to the old. abandoned .clitf dwellings of Ariaena and New Mexico, about which there has been much speculation. It was almost impossi- ble to get near them, so wlld and timid were they. Upon the approach of white people, they fly to thalr caves by notebed sticks placed against the face of the cliffs, if teo steep, although they can ascend vertical stone faces, if there are tue slightest creyces for thelr fingers and toes.
 These ellh-dwellers are sun-wor- shipers, putting their newborn chll- dren out in the full rays of tbe sun tue first day of their lives and show ing many other forms of devotion to the great luminary. They arc usual + tall. lean and well-lormed, iheir skin neine biaekish red, much near- CT tbo color Of the negro than the copper-eolored Indian of the United States.
 "Schwatha claims that nothing has h,retotore been knoan about these people, except by the halflndian mountain Aexicans, and thinks his investigator viii be of immense an- thropalogical and archaeological value. He estimates the cave and clif-dwell- CTS tc be from 3000 te 12.001 in mum ter, armed only witb tows, arrows and stone hatchetS.
