WAR "REMINISCENCES.
AN INCIDENT OF WAR TIMES.
A Man Whose Anti-UniOn Feeling Led to

A Man Whose Anti-UniOn Feeling Led to
a Bloody Fight.
The death of Addison NJ Starr at San
Francisco recalls an exciting incident
of war times in Portland when he was
sheriff. One night in the winter of
1862 Capt. Staples, of the steamer
BrotherJ onathan. which afterward went
down off Crescent City, Cal, Capt.
Dodge, a gambler named Fred Patter-
son and familiar character known
as ''One-arned Brown" were drinking
in the old Pioneer hotel on Front and
Washington streets. All were taking
a drink with Staples, who was pretty
well LOADED" When the barkeeper
said 'all ready, gentlemen. Capt
Staples lifted his glass and said:
Here's to the Unionr'
ITO halifax with the Union" answer
ed Patterson, before any one could say
Jack Robinson.
Immediately the other men look after
Patterson, who ran out of the hotel
into the street The fire bells were rung
and so were the church bells, summon
ing nearly everybody who lived in Port
land. a great crowd collected about
the Pioneer hotel and threatened to
hang Patterson. Brown got rope, the
lamp-post was handy, and Patterson
was all that was needed. He had taken
refuge on the stairs of the hotel, and as
brown approached with the rope he
cried out:
Il will kill the first man who comes
up the stairs
Give me the rope shouted Capt.
Staples, and I'll bring him down by
the neck
Staples took the rope and started up
stairs. As he approached Patterson the
latter fred shot in the air. Nothing
daunted, Staples kept on. The next
time Patterson fired to kill, and Capt.
Staples fell with a mortal wound in his
stomach. Patterson fled and took ref
uge in an clubhouse and surrendered to
Louis NJ. Starr Addisons brother, who
was then deputy sheriff. AS he was
leading Patterson to Jail hundreds of
people crowded around and threatened
mob violence. Sheriff Starr appeared
on the scene about this time, and, draw
ing his pistol, threatened to kill the
first man who touched Patterson. This
prevented trouble.
The next day Patterson was released
on ten thousand-dollar bonds furnished
by ex-United States Senator Ben Stark,
L. j. Holmes and A. Arrigoni The
jury before which he was tried acquit-
ted him. Patterson was afterward shot
dead in BARRIERS chair in Walla Walla
by man named Donahoe, who was a
special policeman in Portland when
Capt. Staples was killed. Northwest

ADMIRAL AND GENERAL.
The Only Remembered Instance of Man
Holding Both Ranks at the Same Time.

The Only Remembered Instance of a Man
Holding Both Ranks at the Same Time.
Rear-Admiral Samuel p Carter is the
only man in this country who has held
high grades in both the army and navy.
He may be compared to an inverted
axiom, man who was big enough to
hold two commissions at one and the
same time. He was brigadier-general
in the army and lieutenant in the
navy in the early part of the civil war
and major-general in the army and
only a lieutenant commander in the
navy at the close of the war. To-day
he is a rear-admiral on the retired list
of the navy.
Rear Admiral Carter was born in Car
ter county, Tenn, and was appointed a
midshipman in the navy February IA,
1870. When the civil war began he was
a lieutenant on the Seminole in the
Brazil squadron, and believing that the
navy would have little active work to
do he asked to be assigned to the army,
and on July II. 1861, reported to the
secretary of war for special duty. He
was instructed to go to East Tennessee
to raise troops and organize the Ten
nessee brigade, to which he was as
signed to command in September with
the appointment of brigadier general
His first engagement was at Wild Cat,
Ky, in October, when Zollicoffer,
the confederate general in command
was repulsed He was at the battle of
Mill Springs, January, 1862, and in the
operations against Cumberland Gap UNI
til it was captured on June II, 1862. He
was also in the Kanawha alley in No
vember 1862, when the rebels were
driven out and the valley occupied by
union troops
He commanded the cavalry eXpedi-
ton into East Tennessee which tore up
the railroads and destroyed the bridges,
and was in several engagements in
which the rebels were always defeated
1t was the first cavalry raid of any i'm
portance made by the union troops INTO
rebel territory. For this conspicuous
service he was promoted to major gen.
eral, and he was in several engage
ments afterward, and in September,
1868, was made provost marshal general
in Tennessee, which place he retained
until near the close of the war, when
he asked for active duty and was sent
to North Carolina, being in command
of Goldsboro during its occupancy by
Gen Sherman's forces. In January.
1866, he was mustered out Of the army
and returned to the navy with the
grade of commander, of the rank of
lieutenant colonel of the army-Chica-

What gala day it was when the farm

simple, genuine and harmless holiday in
our American life has changed, but the
county fair remains almost the same.

THE COLoNEL'S PIPE.
1t Had a History and He Hated to Part
With II.

With 1t.
During the summer of "a when many
of the three year regiments were being
sent home to be discharged, there were
several colored regiments of infantry
camped together near the city of Chat.
tanooga. The officers were trying to
get acquainted and have good time.
Meerschaum pipes became all the rage
with every one who could smoke. The
colonel of one of the regiments got a
fine one. 1t was beautifully carved.
The bowl was held in an eagles claw.
Everybody knows that the next thing
after purchasing a meerschaum pipe is
to color it. To color it means to smoke
with it until the nicotin penetrating the
bowl from the inside reaches the sur
face and imparts to it a beautiful rich
brown color. 1t usually requires few
months to color pipe to suit the own.
err During the coloring period the
pipe is always a ready subject for dis
cussion and examination to see how it
is coming on. The colonel's pipe was
the finest in camp and cost its owner a
fancy sum, but he did not have the pa
thence to color it.
Shortly after this, young lieutenant
of good address, got one of those imita-
tions of clay pipes which was already
colored 1t had all the marks of age
about it, looking exactly like the old
German pipes of long ago. One day the
colonel accosted him (both smolling) on
the parade: Where did you get that
pipe, lieutenant? Its a fine one. :"
''Well, got it from an old German that
was dead broke. Replied the lieuten.

colonel, ''how will you trade. AS You

and it is old. / don't care to- and was
about turning away when the colonel
said: I'll give you this pipe and TWEEN

reluctantly, but added, being as it is

NEGROES IN THE WAR.
Colored Troops Prove Their Mettle at the
Assault on Port Hudson.

C0lored Troops Prove Their Mettle at the
Assault on Port Hudson.
The impression still prevails in some
quarters that the colored people did lit
tie or nothing in the civil war to secure
their own freedom. The well informed
know that this is incorrect. In the la
ter battles of the great struggle many
of them offered up their lives for their
race and their country They made
good soldiers, and the officers who COM
manded them frequently had occasion
to praise them In the fierce assault on
Port Hudson, May 27 1868, two regi-
ments of colored troops took part. AS
the use of Negroes in the army was then
something of an experiment, Gen.
Banks noted their behavior closely, and
after the battle made this report: THE
position occupied by these troops was
one of Importance and called for the ut
most steadness and bravery in those to
whom it was confded 1t gives me
pleasure to report that they answered
every expectation. In many respects
their conduct was heroic. No troops
could be more determined or
more daring, They made dur
ing the day three charges upon the bat
teries Of the enemy, suffering very
heavy losses and holding their position
at nightfall with the other troops on
tn right Of our line. Whatever doubt
may have existed heretofore as to the
efficiency of organizations Of this kind
the history of this day proves conelu-
sively to those who were in condition
to observe the conduct Of these regi-
ments that the government viii find in
this class Of troops effective supporters
and defenders. Eha soundness Of Gen.
Banks conclusion, was proved in many
a subsequent action. Chicago News.
