GEN. A. X. TERRY. quick intelligence
to try it again His choice fell on Gen.
Terry, and the relation Of how the work
was done is among the brightest chapters
of American history. The subsequent dis
pute as to precedence in date of commits
sions does not make such pleasant reading,
but in the end justice was done.
II adds not a lite TO the brilliancy of
Gen. Terry's achievement that he was a
lawyer aud, As generally supposed, with
very little military knowledge. Yet he
was by nature a soldier, volunteered under
the first call and rose rapidly in rank. He
was born Nov. IA, 1927, at Hartford, Conn,
was educated in New Haven and gradu-
ated from the Yale law school In the
militia he served some time as colonel Of
the Second Connecticut infantry; he led it
to the front, and it did heroic work ut Bull
Run. In September, 1861, he became
,olonel of the Seventh Connecticut, and
with it bore an honorable part in the op-
erations on the South Carolina coast.
In April, 1862, he was made brigadier
general of volunteers, and for over two
years longer served on the coast. Aug. a,
1864, he was brevetted major general, and
after dashing achievements elsewhere two
commissions came to him on Jan. -, 1865
One made him a brigadier in the regular
army, the other a provisional major gen
eral of volunteers. On March 3. 1856, Pre3i-
dent Cleveland gave him army rank next
to that of Hancock.
Late in 1864 Gen. Terry's command was
transferred to the Army Of the Potomac

Half dazed and nearly frantic through
lack of sleep he wandered from his home
the other evening. AS the hours went by
without his return the alarm spread from
his family to the students who knew and
loved him, and President Andrews or
ganiZed one of the most vigorous and thor
ough searches on record. From the large
body of eager volunteers he selected 200
collegians of superior mental and physical
attainments, and sent them out in every
direction to follow up all possible clews or
theories.
These young men performed prodigious
labOrs and covered miles of territory. They
hunted each rumor to its source and tested
the value of all possible surmises. The re,
suit was-nothing; not an iOta of informa-
ton was obtained 1t was thought MIR.
Bancroft might have gone to Florida,
where brother resides, but telegraphic in
quiry resulted only in disappointment.
Now the professors friends are continuing
their labors on the sorrowful superstition
that he has committed suicide.
OF a different sort is the disappearance
of Napoleon Mcdonald. No one wants to
see him again save the authorities from
whose custody he escaped the other day.
Mr.. Mcdonald is a train robber by occupa-
ton, and has made the state of Texas the
scene of his labors. After his capture be
was given life sentence in the Bowie
county court, a severity of punishment
which he resented bitterly.
On securing his freedom he announced
an intention of returning soon, that he
might take the lives of several people who
had "slandered his good name" and also
of his own lawyers, who did not do their
best" in his defense. Then he vanished.
and the threatened people, who know Mr..
Mcdonald to be a man of his word when it
comes to n matter of murder, earnestly de-
sire never to see or hear of him again.
Entirely different is the popular senti-
ment relative to Mr.. Jacob H. Sharp, until
recently coal dealer at San Francisco.

appearance is voluntary, and resolved upon
by a person of sound mind, it is a very
cruel way OF evading responsibility, for
there is sure to be some one left behind TO
mourn and hope and agonize through days
of weary waiting and of doubt. The same
may be true where the absent one is known
to be irresponsible, so that in any event
uncertainty preys upon the feelings of
relatives and friends.

The recent killing of Sitting Bull in a
