How to Clean Machinery.

The simplest and most eficacious
method of thoroughly cleaning the va
rious parts of machinery that have be-
come gummed and dirty by the use Of
fat oils for lubricating purposes is by
using a strong soda lye, says the Amer
lean Engineer. For each 1000 parts by
weight of water take about ten or if
teen parts by weight of caustic soda or
100 parts ordinary soda Let the solu-
ton boil and enter the parts to be
cleansed; either boil them in this lye or
let them steep in it for some time. All
the dirt and old resin is completely dis
solved thereby, and it remains only to
rinse and dry the parts, The action of
the lye is such that it enters into com
bination with the oil, and forms soap,
which is readily soluble in water. In
order to prevent the hardening Of the
lubricant on the machinery parts it is
only necessary to add about one-third
kerosene. An occasional lubricating
with kerosene alone is to be recon-
rnpudad

with such a vengeance that Gen Rous-
seau, who was of hurculean Nuild, and
deeply imbued with the kentucky idea
that man of fragile physique had an
equal show on the field of honor with
another of larger build, took occasion
to overhaul Mr. Grinnell just at the
east door of the rotunda and pinched his
ear. remarking at the same time that
the gentleman from Iowa knew the
address of the gentleman from Ken
lucky.
Mr.. Grinnell did not align his life
on the rules Of the code OF honor. but
went back to the house of representa-
tives, still in session. and laid the facts
of the assault and the reason therefor
words spoken in debate-before his con-
freres.
Gen. Rousseau promptly telegraphed
the governor of Kentucky his resigna-
ton as representative in congress from
Louisville district, and notified Speaker
Colfax of the fact 1t was the first time
the telegraph had been used in such
case, and the question was raised the
next morning when the resolution to
expel came up but Mr. Colfax held that
Gen. Rousseau was no longer a men,
Der of the house and the resolution was
out of order
And all this came about from Gen.

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
THE MARcA OF COMPANY a.

'ForWard, march" was the captains word,
And the tramp OF a hundred men was heard,
As they formed into line. in the morning gray
Shoulder TO shoulder went Company A
Out OF the shadow into the sun.
a hundred men that moved as one;
Out Of the dawning into the day,
A gIitiering file went Company A.
Marching along to the rendezvous
BY grassy meadows the road ran through,
BY springing cornhelds and orchards gay
Forward, forward went Company a.
And the pink and white of the apple trees,
Falling fast on the itful breeze.
Scattered its dewy. scented spray
Straight in the faces of Company A.
A breath like a sigh ran through the ranks
Treading those odorous blossom banks,
For the orchard hillsides Tar away
Tie northern hIlsides Of Company a.
Forward, march and the dream was sped;
Out Of the pine wood straight ahead
Catered troop OF the southern gray
Face 10 face with Company A.
Forth with fash in the southern sun
A hundred bayonets ieaped like one.
Sudden drum-beat and bugle play
Sounded the charge for Company A.
Haiti What IS here' A slumbering child,
Reused by the blast OF the bugle wild,
Between the ranks Of the blue and gray,
Right in the path Of Company A.
Nothing knowing OF north or south,
Her dimpled finger within her mouth,
Her gathered apron with blossoms gay,
She stared \ the M ffnrsa a
Straightway set for sign OF truce
Whitley handkerchief fluttered loose,
S under the steel Of the southern gray
alloped the captain OF Company A.
his saddle-bow he swung the child.
tn kiss on the baby lips that smiled,
w lie the boys in blue and the boys in gray
CD red for the captain OF Company A.
Fo from the ranks OF his halted men,
VIII the wild hurrahs rang out again,
The southern leader spurred his way
To meet the captain Of Company A.
Out OF the arms that held her safe
He took with a smile the little waif -
A grip Of the hand 'twixt blue and gray,
And back rode the captain of Company A.
Up there, in the distant cottage door
A mother, clasping her child once more,
Shuddered At sight OF smoke-cloud gray
Shrouding the path Of Company A.
A little later and all was done
The battle over, the victory won.
Nothing left of the pitiless fray
That swept the ranks OF Company A.
Nothing left-save the bloody stain
Darkening the orchard rosy rain
Dead the chief OF the southern gray
And dead the captain of Company A.
Fallen together the gray and blue,
Gone to the final rendezvous.
A grave to cover, a prayer to say,
And-Forward, march! went Company A.

TWO GALLANT GENERALS.

How Young and Custer Exchanged Com
pliments
Gems. Young and Custer, of Georgia,
were classmates and devoted friends at
West Point. During the war they were
major-generals of cavalry on opposing
sides One day Gen. Young was in
vited to breakfast at the Hunter man
sion in Virginia. The general was
seated at the table, about to partake of
a smoking breakfast made doubly pal
atable by the reason that it had been
prepared by the fair hands of the young
ladies of the mansion. Suddenly there
was a sound of breaking glass, causing
all present to glance in the direction of
the bay window in the front of the
dining-room. In an instant more a
shell lay close at the feet of the gallant
general
Taking another hasty glance through
the window Young beheld Gen. Custer
charging toward the house at the head
of his staff. / have termed Young a
gallant general, and in truth he was
such, but at this moment he realized
the fact that fight was his only saliva
ton. Out of rear window went
Young, calling to the young ladies,
Tell Custer leave this breakfast for
him" Custer and his staff entered the
mansion and were invited to the break
fast 50 hastily left by Young.
Custer enjoyed it heartily, and looked
forward with pleasure to the dinner in
the distance In the meantime, Young,
feeling deeply chagrined over the loss
of his breakfast and his hasty retreat,
drove the federal line back, and ere the
sun had passed the meridian, was again
in sight of the Hunter mansion.
Custer beheld him approaching just
as he was seating himself at the dinner
table. II might have known, " said he,
that Pierce Young would not have left
me here in peace. Here is my picture;
give it to him. and tell him his old class
mate leaves his love with this excellent
dinner" And out of the window he
went, while the Georgian general
walked in and sat down to dinner

TRUE TO JACKSON.
A Drill Master who Would Not Brook In

But one day one of the soldiers got it into
his head that Gen. jackson was dead,
and SO at the next drill, when the colo

fellow stood stock still. This insubor-

but the colonel recovered himself, and,
with his face purple with rage, shouted:

"RoUssEAU OR A RABBIT"

Gen. Rosecrans' story of the Origin of
Once Famous Remark.
Gen. William S. Rosecrans, the regis
ter Of the treasury and brigadier-gen-
eral on the retired list of the regular
army, has fully recovered from his re-
cent severe wrestle with the grip and
has resumed his official labors. When
you want good story get hold of the
former commander of the Army of the
Cumberland when he is in a reminis-
cent mood
Every one has heard the story of
commotion in camp as being either
seen. Rousseau or rabbit" and most
readers who know of the story have
heard it charged to Gen. Rosecrans He
was asked the other day how he came
to make the remark and he said
THE fact is never made the remark,
but the saying came about one evening
at my headquarters.
I'VE were at Murfreesboro, in quar-
tiers, and one evening a glee club of
splendid singers came over from Sheri-
dams division and gave us a serenade.
hustled my staff and servants around
and got up pretty nice lunch in the
big dining-room of the barracks, and
most of my division and brigade COM
manders were there as my guests.
All of my division commanders then
were very popular with their men-Mc-
Cook, Crittenden, Sheridan, Stanley,
Rousseau, and Negley; but most of all
was Rousseau. Whenever Gen. Rous-
seau rode through the camps, whether
of his own or other divisions, he was
cheered to the skies by the men, and
would almost invariably make them
happy speech that raised more cheers.
THAT night of the serenade and
lunch, Gen. jeff. C. Davis-dead now
sat at my table almost opposite Rous-
seau-he is gone too Davis spoke up
and said: Rousseau, I've got devilish
good joke on you, but won't tell it I'M
less you will promise beforehand not to
go off the handle; you know you are
apt to do that on short order.
amid the laughter of the sally, Da-
Wis went on: "A day or two ago l was
in my quarters busy on a report when
heard an awful row among the troops
camped near. 1t was so prolonged that
captured and brought in, and sent Capt.
Davis my aid-de-camp, out to see what
the commotion was about
Pretty soon he returned and report
ed that he couldn't find out what it was
all about. The troops were wild over
something, and it must be either Gen.
Rousseau or a rabbit.
ANY old soldier who has ever wit
messed the commotion in camp occa-
stoned by the discovery Of rabbit will
understand the situation and the Joke.
We all laughed heartily, and Rousseau
as well as the rest.
THAT is the way the Rousseau and
rabbit story originated, but in some
strange fashion it has fastened to me as
its originator.
Rousseau heard from that story af-
terward Ia a way that became historic
q. There was representative in con-
gress from Iowa named Grinnel, who
had conceived an intense dislike to
Gen. Rousseau 5rd who had heard the
Rousseau and rabbit story, without
understanding it.

In Congress.

There have been stormy and exciting
scenes in both houses of Congress the past
week, all on account of the attempt of the
Republicans to pass the Force bill. On Fri
day of last week the Republican Senators
started in to have continuous session until
a vote was reached on the bill. The session
continued all night and until o. clock Satur-
day evening, until the Republicans them
selves were worn out and moved an adjourn
ment.
On Monday the battle continued, and on
Tuesday the day was spent in an effort to
adopt the gag rule, commonly called "clo
ture.' In doing this a parliamentary tangled
followed, and on Wednesday the whole day
and up to midnight was spent in trying to
unraveling it,. but without success. Senator
German is the leader in the fight against both
The Force bill and the gag-rule, and the
Democratic forces are standing solidly togeth-
er and are handled with great skill and ability.
On Thursday the Republicans succeeded
in getting the gag rule before the Senate, but
il was not passed and hot contest is in pro-
gress.

25 Years Old and Going TO Marry a
Fifth Husband.

Miss Mary Levens, or, according to the
last of the FIVE names which she has already
enioyed or endured. Mrs. Mary Mason, now
25 years of age, was at the Union Station,
Pittsburg, on Wednesday night, en- route for
Philadelphia, where she welded the fifth
husband who has woed and won her since she
was sweet sixteen. She is comely German
girl with haxen locks and quite good looking.
When she was sixteen years old she married
her first husband, J. w. Coleman, Tioga
lumberman. They had one child and were
getting along nicely. Her husband floated
his boards and other material to Pittsburg,
but one day about a year after they were
married a tree fell on him in the forest and
killed him.
Some time afterward she married Samuel
Book, a butcher in Binghampton, New York.
His physique and general appearance gave
promise of long life, but smallpox scourge
struck the town, and the butcher was one Of
the first to succumb.
Mrs. Book then became acquainted with
Edward Alling, of Buffalo, who kept a hotel.
He wanted a wife and they were married.
This made husband No. 8, and Mrs. Alling
was scarcely out of her teens. They had moi
lived together long before Mr.. Alling was
attacked with a malignant fever and died.
John l.. Mason, her last husband, soon
appeared on the scene. He was gardener
from Dunkirk. Four months after they were
married Mr.. Mason undertook to clean q
vicious horse. The animal kicked him, and
he never recovered consciousness.
Mrs. Mason has now married Joseph Arm
strong, a grocer of Philadelphia. She has
two eli ildren, one by her first husband and
one by her third.
