have not only n complete record OF our
regiment and all of its members, but
also of our whole division. The special
agent went with me to find Michael
Roden, the First Sergeant of Company
b of our regiment, at the time
of tho transfer from the First
New York Independent Battalion.
Roden assured us that there we-@ no
paper transfers from the battalion, but
that man was transferred for evesy
name received on the transfer roll. Wa
then went over to New York and found
Captain Schmidt, who commanded tho
company from which Rollnger had been
transferred. Through him we solved tho
mystery. Captain Schmidt informed us
that Jacques Rollinger, who served IN
the Ohio Regiment, was the Rollinger
who was in the First Independent Bat
talon; that Rollinger and he both came
from the same place and were we'll ac-
ouainted with each other, living near
the French and Swiss line. When the
First battalion was organized Ee
(Schmidt) enlisted Rollinger, but on AZ:
count of rumors of pending trouble bn-
tween the United States and France
and England Rollinger deserted and
went West to escape possible
conflict with those he consider
ed virtually his countrymen o.
the French border. Captain Schmidt
remembered the instance we'll, for tho
reason that Rollinger left his entire uniA
form and escaped in citizens clothes. A
few days afterward he enlisted anothec
man and allowed him to take the name
of jacques Rollinger. This was in 1861,
when the war fl st broke out. He thus
carried the name of Rollinger on hts
rolls through substitute. He never

The Sad Experience of Man Who Was
Civil to a Woman.
The Rev. L. e. Hale writes in the
New England Magazine: This time,
Miss Reader, we will not try spinner;
there are no spinners in front of the
Vendome. Let us take the moro de-
corous and slower horse-car. And will
you tell me, Miss Reader, how the ladies
behave whom you meet in horse-cars in
Fort Wrangel? There is rather Curl
Gus observation made as to the breeding
of Boston women. just read these lines,
which received yesterday from one of
the most charming women whom i have
the pleasure of knowing: "My expert
ences with Boston women to whom
have been introduced have been very
charming in most cases; but my expert
ences in shops, cara and streets have
been otherwise, and would fill volume.
l have been stranger in New York,
San Francisco and Boston, and have
lived in the three cities. In the first
offered small courtesies to total stran-
gers-women-with the pleasantest re-
suits, in no case meeting with discour-
tesy. But my Boston experience has
taught me never to ask question, or
try to help well-dressed woman, even
when I know her to belong to one of
the best families. >"
l have these lines in my pocket, as
you see, and road them to you because
the last time was on this line an inter-
esting thing happened. A young woman,
little over-dressed, if you please,
stopped the car that she might leave it.
She dropped the parcel she had been
down town to buy. / saw it fall and
dropped her parcel. But, unfortunately,
l had never been presented to her; we
had not danced together at Papanti's,
nor were we members of the same CLUB.
She, therefore, looked at me with the
vigorous manner to which our friend
alludes in the letter, a good deal
as if 1 had struck her in the face, and in
this way expressed her Indignation that
any man should have addressed her who
had not the honor of her acquaintance.
! am, however, siXty-eight years old,
and stand such things better than a
boy does. So l said very pleasantly,
"You have dropped your parcel and it
is under your feet" Again she resented
the insult with look-not with word,
observe-and swung out of the car, drag.
ging the parcel after her by her dress,
so that it fell in the mud in the street.

IMMOVABLE AS STONE.
Terrible Effect of Chronic rheumatism IN
n War Veteran.

A remarkable story comes from Colt
cord, Mass, of the sufferings of James
Melvin, who has for twelve years lain
upon bed without changing his posi-
ton. The osseous portions of his body
have united into one piece, and from
the crown of his head to the soles of his
feet there is not joint responsive to
his will. Every bone in his frame has
grown into the adjoining bone. Even
the bones of his neck and spinal column
are united firmly into one and are as
rigid as bar of iron. The ribs are
joined one to another by their connect
ing tissues, and the chest is nothing
more nor less than a box of bone. 1t is
utterly incapable of expansion, and
breathing is possible only because of the
comparative freedom of the diaphragm
and the pliability of the muscles of the
abdomen.
Human ingenuity could hardly devise
more effective arrangement of the
limbs as a means of torture. Both hips
are disjointed and the lower legs have
been drawn sharply to the left side of
the body, and thus held through tho
ossification of the knee joints, The left
leg crosses under the right, and the left
heel is pressed SO firmly against the
right hip that it is only by the use of
considerable force that strong person
can draw them apart sufficiently to insert
a thin piece of cloth. The upper arms are
pressed close to the sides of the body,
while the forearms rest upon the abdo-
men, the fingers upon the ends of which
are large chalky formations, pointing
downward. The head is turned quar-
ter to the left. The jaws arc fixed and
food may be administered in liquid form
only through an aperture made by the
extraction of several teeth. The
muscles of the face and throat are in
good condition, and are the only ones in
the whole body that are moyeable.
Three years ago he became blind.
Chronic rheumatism is the cause of
his atfiiction, and the disease was con-
tracted in the army. He is married
and has daughter seventeen years of
age His wife who has not been out of
his presence an hour at time for all
these fifteen years, with the exception
of a vacation of two months which her
physician deemed necessary to restore
her failing health, says that he never
utters a word of complaint. boston

NEW YORK, July 13-The following re-
ports have been received from the principal
mining regions of the West:
IDAHO CITY-Since President Harrison
had signed the bill making Idaho the forty
second State Of the Union we are freed from
the alien land act, which has for the past
two or three years proved great detriment
TO our mining interest, as foreign capital
could not invest in mines in any of the Ter
ritories to the extent OF more than 10 per
cent Of the capital stock. Now we can look
for and will surely secure the immediate in
vestment OF millions OF British capital. As
home capital ready to invest 10 mines is
very limited, foreign money will be Of great
benefit 10 the new State OF Idaho.

ing all necessary preparations 10 keep the

shaft Of the Wolverine mine, stopping on

were large ore bodies, the largest and rich.
est OF which was on the 400 foot level. In
both the east and west dri n, and In the
Slopes sulphurets and ruby silver glittered
in bodies from two 10 our ieet width. The
veln not only gains 10 size with depth. but
richness also. There are now ] 400 tons Of
this ore al the mill and plenty more In sight
So the mine that ia not extracted because there
il nowhere to store il, This mine yields the
richest ore in the district, running from $500
10 S5lB per ton in silver, and 10 developed
by shaft 10 the depth OF 300 feet. The COM
ing tunnel will develop four other mines on
the way, among which are the PanAmint
and Star Of the West, which have yielded
splendid ore on the surface. As the mount
ain under which IL will pass 10 covered with
rich Argeutilerous "foat," II Is very proba-
BILE that some rich blind lodges will be dis.
covered on the way ~ the tunnel will
run for $500 feet through the best
mineral belt in the country. Last year
2, 900 tons of wolverine ore reduced in the
mill yielded over $500, 900 worth OF silver
bullion. The owners OF the Chickamon
mine will soon commence a shaft Tor the
purpose of developing the vein, and getting
out ore for shipment to Banner. This mine
is five miles east o. Idaho City. The ore
from II assays over 200 ounces per ton silver
and S3S gold per ton. The Leonard mill at
Silver City, Owyhee county, has started up
on ore from the Phillips and Sullivan mine.
The mine is yielding large quantities Of rich
silver ore, and it viii be opened up in shape
for extensive working.
