SECOND BRIGADE NOTES.
Thirty six Lonely Nom CONS. Assembl
Afier n Enahinn for a DRILL

Thirty-six Lonely Non-Coms. Assemble
After Fashion for Drill.
There was held last evening at the regi-
mental armory of the First Infantry what
was supposed, and what was also given out,
to be drill of the non-commissioned officers
of the eight companies-seven regular and
one cadet. Major Sullivan was the in
structor; but so sick at heart was he to gaze
upon the scant array of non-coms. that he
dismissed them in silence after a drill
which lasted about one hour. This drill,
which was announced one month ago and
again alluded to in regimental orders about
one week ago. brought out tine bewildering
number of thirty-siX all told, Increased,
however, to forty by laggards, who sneaked
upon the floor in time to answer to their
names at roll-call. Thirty-six is great
showing out of 100 and morel In the num-
Der were two First Sergeants, neither be-
longing to company quartered In the regl-
mental armOry; while the cadet c0npany'S
D0n-coms. were cons picuous by their entire
absence, and Company II was represented
by two lonely corporals.
The falling in was simply wretched, and
laggards came upon the floor fifteen min
utes after the company had been turned
over, and these laggards were noticeable
again for being without gloves or not in
uniform, or if in uniform without the
chevrons or stripes of their rank. OF the
thirty-six who fell in originally, sixteen
were from the Post-street Armory. The
Lieutenants made q better showing, but
were not all present either. The drill was
in the guard mount and the posting and re-
lief of sentries. AS whole the drill was
not bad. 1t was when individuals were
noted that the errors and lapses were OBJ
served. The Adjutant and Sergeant Major
surprised the non-coms by being present.
Orders issued as far back as the 18th of
last month directed Major James ID. Phe-
Ian, Paymaster of the Second Brigade, to
preside last evening at an election for Lieu

1t VIII BE an Epic OF Christianity-What
Is Said OF 1t.
Letters from Toxic received by steamer
last night give some interesting facts about
Sir Edwin Arnold's new poem, upon which
he has been working for six months.
He lives in the Japanese quarter, and
has adopted the native customs in
many respects, but he is not yet
cultivated to the point of enjoying raw
fish or sharks fins. When he comes in from
a walk, however, he leaves his shoes at the
door and enters the beautifully kept apart
ments in his stockings. He has also be-
come expert in writing Japanese in the
native style. and by the aid of two
the language, which he speaks flu
emily and writes with ease. 1t was only by
the polite fiction Of serving as an English
tutor to these two young women that he
was permitted to live in the native quarter.
He has taught them faithfully, and the task
has not been unpleasant, as they are pretty
and as playful as two kittens. Sir Edwin
has written comparatively little for his
newspaper while in Japan.
All his leisure has been spent on his new
epic of Christianity, which he has been
turning over in his mind for the last twelve
years. He conceived it before he wrote
1.-The Light of ASIA" and subsequently
he travelled through the Holy Land, visiting
all the places memorable in sacred history.
He has seen all the places which he de-
scribes in his poem. One who was allowed
to read parts OF the poem writes from
Yokohama:
This poem, which consists of 10000 lines,
l am confident will be pronounced the
finest sacred epic since Milton. 1t is
written in majestic blank verse which
rivals Tennyson's in strength and sweet.
ness, and is relieved by excellent little
lyrics.
His study of Mary Magdalem is said to be
fine piece of work. The poem will be pub
llshed first in the United States, as Sir Ed
win has ten readers there for one in
England. But what publisher will issue it
is not yet settled. He has received an offer
of 100000 from syndicate for it, but it is
probable that Boston firm will secure the
poem.-N. Y. Tribune.

a Unique Grm.

The diamond signet of the Inflated
Charles of England is of immense intrn-
sic value. 1t was supposed to be the handi-
work of the monarch himself. He was
known as a skillful artillcer in gold and
silver, and much of his leisure was devoted to
this congehial occupation. On the seal was
craven the coat of arms of Great Britain
and the monogram of the King. At his de-
mise it passed into possession of his de-
throned son. who, during his Punishment in
France, became in such stratened circum-
stances that lie was forced to part with the
precious relic. 1t was purchased by the
well-known French traveller, Tavernier,
who shortly afterward made journey to
the Far Orient. He exhibited the jewel at
the Persian court. and the Shah offered him
fabulous sum for the unique gem, which
was preserved with extreme care in the
treasure vault of the Oriental satrap.

HELD AS A PRIZE.
The Sealer Matte L. Dyer OF New York
Seized at Oonalnska.


Seized at Oonalaska.
The steamer Karluk arrived in port last
night, nine and half days from Unga, and
brought some interesting news from Coma
laska. The first information is that the
United States steamer Bear left Oonalaska
on June 18th for a cruise in Behring Sea,
with the intention of making things lively
for all seal poachers in the waters over
which the Federal Government claims ex-
elusive jurisdiction.
The KaIluk brought the further news
that the schooner Matte L. Dyer had been
seized by the Deputy Collector of the Port
and is held as prize for violating the fish
ing laws, which prohibit the taking of
seals. The Matte T., Dyer is an American
schooner and halls from New York. She is
1903 tons burden and her owner is also her
master, Captain G. E. Mockler She ar
rived in San Francisco on April 10th las.
with cargo of sixty tons of coal, and,
after dlscharging, was cleared by her master
for northern waters.
She left on April Goth with the ostensible
purpose of hunting and fishing in Alaskan
waters. What she has been doing since
that time is not known, but it is probable
that the temptation to seal was too great
The seizure and retention of the Dyer and
the setting out of the Bear on her cruise
will have the result of making the poach-
ing sealers somewhat cautious In their

peared, and, as he was rather eccentric In bis
habits, It was feared that he had committed
suicide. searching party was sent out and this
morning Francisco was discovered in cavern
among the Eapa mountains In demented state.
Tie man has a strange history. In 1850 be
came 10 San Francisco as the private secretary
OF a travelling gentleman. He was accompanied
by his wife, and one morning lie awoke to find
that she had flown with his employer, and no
trace OF the guilty couple could be found. After

curiosity, for its walls were covered with strange
hieroglyphics and cabalistic signs that heicare-
fully consulted when asked what year Ii was,
what month aud what day of the month. lie had
evidently kept d record OF the time that he been

A few weeks after his strange home was dis

vineyards. Work was given him and he labored
in the winter at wood chopping until hVe years

was a splendid Latin scholar.

Henry Burt's Many Descendants to Meet
in October.
The descendants of Henry Burt, who
came from England to Roxbury, and in 1910
settled in Springfield, propose to celebrate
the two hundred and tifteth anniversary of
that event by meeting Of the widely scat
tered members of the family in this city on
the Sd CT October next. Among those who
have signified desire to be present are Col
onel SilaS w. Burt, late Naval Officer at the
port of New York, and his brother, James
Burt; Grinnell Burt President and Manager
of the Lehigh and Hudson River Railroad;
Thomas Burt, President OF the Warwick
On. " Savings Bank; Bradley b. Burt a
prominent lawyer in OSwego, n. y Wei
lingtou r. Burt, late Democratic candidate
for Governor in Michigan, and Oliver p.
Burt. leading young business man OF
Minneapolis, and others residing IN this
vicinity. Thomas Burt, member of Parlia-
ment for the last sixteen years, who 1t is
thought may have come from collateral
branch in England, has been invited.
Henry Burt the English immigrant from
whom many in this country bearing the
name of Burt have descended, was among
the first settlers in Springfield, and was a
useful member of the little colony planted
here by William Pynchon, and for many
years was one of the Selectmen of the
a a." deacon of the First Church,
where he was appointed to read ser
mons on Sunday in connection with
Dra Samuel Chaplin, when the town
was without a minister. He brought a
large family Of children with him from En-
gland, and among them were three sons,
Jonathan, David and Nathaniel. Henry,
the father, was clerk of the writs, an Off
Ger chosen by the town to issue summonses
and writS of attachment in civil suits His
home lot. twelve rods wide, was on the west
side Of Main street, near Union and Wilcox.
His son Jonathan was assigned lot near
what is now Broad street, and Oh the death
of his father succeeded him in town and
church affairs. David went to Northamp-
ton in 1854 on It's settlement and he aud
Mary HOulton, daughter of William Houl-
ton, were the first couple married In that
town. Henry NJ. Burt of this city, Colonel

York City, have descended from David
Nathaniel Burt, the youngest son of
Henry, went to Longmeadow, and from
him most of the LOngmeadow Burts were
descended. and for number of years they
were among the most influential citizens of
that town.
Roderick II. Burnham of Bloomfield,
Conn, who through his mother, was a de-
scenlant of Nathaniel, has for many years
been at work compiling genealogy of the
Burts, which is probably the most complete
record that has yet been compiled OF the
family. Daniel Burt, of Carter u Cooley's,
and most of the other Burts residing IN this
city are descendants of Jonathan Burt
The proposed celebration was originated
by Henry NJ. Burt of this city, who would
