through so much suffering and seen
blood so often shed, that their cheeks
no longer blanched at thought Of death,
nor their sense revolted at sight of gap
ing wound or ghastly corpse. They
were "old soldiers" now-veterans In
all but years.
On the windward side Of one smold-
ering heap Of smoking brush little
group Of officers was gathered. The
surroundings were miserable enough,
but not all the wretchedness Of scene
and season could repress the reckless

pointing to tall, cloaked figure, reced-

Yet no more humane man ever prac-

not perverted to some rough soubriquet.
"Ah, Billy's broth of boy" said
another, knocking the ashes out Of his
pipe. ''Did you ever hear how he served
the Irish navy, when we were in camp
at Sedalia?"
"No, what did he doP" came in
chorus.
"Why, there were score Of la5orers
engaged in making road to the camp,
big, rough fellows, not long out from
the old country. Billy had the job Of
doctoring them, which, what with
bruises from drunken rows and smart

Just then, was no sinecure. But BIly's

eral districts, Of which we have princi'
pally to do with those Of "Cairo," under
command of General Grant, and "Ohio,"

ical points in this long line of ramparts
were Fort Henry and Fort Donelson,
the center, and the keys to Southern
Kentucky and Tennessee. If these
were taken the whole was untenable.
Now, while our hero was on the
march to join General Buell's command,
preparations were made for this mo-
mentous enterprise, and its execution
was intrusted to General Grant, who

of Commodore Foote, in command of
Aotilla of gun-boats.
The idea was for the feet to reduce
the fort, while Grant cut off the retreat
by land, but Confederate General Tihl-
man, seeing from the first that resist
ance was useless, sent his garrison OF
three thousand men to Fort Donelson,
and nominally held Fort Henry with a
handful of brave defenders, who, of
course, after a feeble resistance, sur
rendered.
Grant and Foote then turned their at
tentions to Fort Donelson.
And all this time the boys of the
Fourth were leisurely making their
way to Buell., impeded however by
small engagements with the enemy and
constantly exposed to irritating attacks
of guerrillas.
On the night of the 9th Of February
the regiment was in camp-at least the
boys were bivouacking around such
scanty fires as the rain-drenched char

they had gathered permitted. BY this

The device lately hit upon by men,
Der of the Paris police force for catch
ing thief was certainly an ingenious
one, but now that the light-fngered
fraternity know Of the trap they will
probably be on their guard in the future,
says the London Standard. At one Of
the large dress warehouses in the Fau-
bourg st. Germain there had been, IL
appears, for several weeks past num-
Der of robberies committed, and though
the strictest watch was kept by the in
spectors II had been impossible TO dis
cover the thief. In the majority Of cases
the unknown shop-lifter took away
with him elegant and costly mantles
exposed for sale on dummies in the shop,
choosing his time for operating SO well
that his identity remained a mystery.
The police were at length appealed to,
and in order to catch the rogue one or
two agents we're, at the suggestion OF
a member OF the force, ordered TO sub
stitute themselves for the dummies, or
rather to hide themselves inside their
wire-work frames. It was not long
before the plan succeeded
A day or two ago, just as richly
trimmed mantle was being cleverly re-
moved from the shoulders Of dummy,

grasped tightly by pair Of strong arms
and held prisoner. The shop-lifters
fright at finding the dummy to be, so to
say, inhabited, was so great that II de-
prived him Of speech and action, and he
made no attempt TO escape from the con-
stables grip or explain away his con-
duct. He is now lodged In prison, and

this kind he will probably be suspicious

wayside," and the young man hurried
away, eager to escape the spinster
from Chicago, who was mot at all good
looking and rather passe."
Imagine his chagrin then, when, as
he turned to fasten the garden-gate, he
saw Mrs. Besant, who had followed him
out on the veranda, standing with her
arm embracing the waist of the pret-
tiest girl Mark Henderson had ever seen
In his life-such vision Of youthful
loreliness that he stood for the moment
transhxed-and TO think that, II he had
only known, he might have escorted
these two pretty women to his sisters
house. Well, he'd pay Flossie out for
the Joke she had played him, anyhow,
and make up for lost time In the even

On his return to his sisters, he found
that the parsonage people had already
arrived and that DR.. Burrows had
brought an addition TO the party In the
shape of q young Methodist minister, a
recent arrival In the place.

Harry whispered in Marks ear, "but

Rev. Lubin Ferry came up at that
moment for an introduction to the hero
Of the evening. He was a gentle, over
grown young man, who wore glasses
and dropped perpetually sanctimonious
phrases from his lips; little scraps OF
devotional expressions that were never
intended to pass as colloquial currency
in common conversation-as different a
man from the big-hearted, broad-prin-
cipled, scholarly Josiah Brentwood as
II was possible TO conceive. Moreover,
he was the only son Of a widow, who
had tied him to her apron-string from
the time he was little lad, following
him TO college, and never letting him
out Of her sight for more than few
hours in his whole life, and the young
man had become so imbued with this
maternal solicitude that he dragged his
mothers sentiments into every thought

learned afterwards that the mamma
was a selfish, vulgar old body, who
took every cent Of her sons earnings
and made him wait on her hand and

taking Marks brawny hand In both his

We REPUBLIsH elsewhere, from the
Globe-Democrat, of st. Louis, asgraphic
account of the deposition of Mr.. G. B.
Holmes, from the presidency of the
Chicago syndicate's railway interests.
According to this narrative, this gentle
man has had entirely too manysirons in
the fire. The failure OF Barring Brothers
caught him, as it caught most other
people outside of the charmed circle OF
Jay Gould, at disadvantage; and, in a
moment OF desperation, he blew in
money that did not belong to him, and
he found it very convenient to talk
about his losses in Los Angeles. AS a
matter of fact, the Los Angeles system
of cable railways was by no-means a bad
venture. 1t may not have realized the
expectations of it's projectors at the
start, but it has done fairly we'll for an
enterprise in the very initial. Mr..
Holmes is evidently one of those gentle
men who have faculty of 'overreaching
themselves, and who find 1t handy to
hunt up scape-goat. As consequence,

little further into the explaining busi-
ness. His first notes are not satis-

MAYOR HAZARD very frequently does
a wise thing, and, in message sent
into the council yesterday, he recon-
mended that the city and county OF
Los Angeles should be consolidated.
The fact that the mayor has borrowed
this suggestion from the HERALD in NO
whit renders it the less judicious. AS
Mr.. Hazard points out, the tendency is
towards a reduction OF the county in any
event. and we may as well reach out for
homogeneity, fewer officials and lower
taxes. Everything is gravitating in the
direction of small and compact bodies
polite, and there is no reason why one
set OF officials should not do the bust
ness Tor the taxpayer both as citizen
OF the city and of the county.
