the postmaster of his town few days ago
which he describes as follows;
sWhile passing w. II. Cages saloon

business and were accosted by our
esteemed half-drunken postmaster, John
Whitebeck, with the request that we have
n drink with him. Being particular about
our company, we politely but firmly de-
ciined, only tob be urged again and again
In brutal manner, while we positively
declined to accept. Stepping up to where
We stood, the burly bully seized
us by the collar, saying: I'd like to
strangle you and all your associates We
then told him to proceed to business II
that was his desire, when without further
warning the cowardly braggart struck US
in the eye. This naturally raised our ire
and we sailed in to make the fur fly. We
were just beginning to get warmed up and
were taking the same interest we have SO

Lacquer for war ves.el..

There arrived at San Francisco from
japan by the steamer China tw
packages addressed to the United
States Navy Department. Washing
ton, d. g. 1t was learned that tn e
contents OF these cases were four
plates OF iron and steel, each four fe Ell
square. These plates are Gov cred
with four coats OF anti-fouling and
anti-corrosive lacquer. They will be
subjected to q test OF submergence in
salt water for three months, in order
to ascertain whether the process can
be applied to the ships OF the white
Squadron
1t is said by those who have seen
the Japanese steel warships having
this lacquer on their bottoms, instead
of the usual paint, that the plates
were thoroughly protected, and that
the lacquer coating was perfectly
smooth and unbroken. The bottom
OF the warship Niniwa Kan was coated
with this lacquer for nine months.
When the vessel was dockcd 1t was
found that its plates were in excellent
condition, and not the least particle
OF grass or barnacles was found.

Win. nsca mo OF tho Cow.

AS / have never seen anything in
the papers from the boys of the 9th
H.. 1t would seem that such regi-
ment never existed. The following in
cident which is no doubt we'll remem-
bered by many comrades, should wake
them up, and be the cause of letting
their old friends know they are still
on earth.
In March. 1862, just before the bat
tie of Shiloh, the 57th Ill. was in camp
about half mile back from the river.
Only a few weeks before sleek COW,
somewhat resembling jersey, made
her appearance, and was ut once de-
clared ''contraband." She became at
tached to the regiment, and as she
was in prime condition, the Hospital
Steward was instructed to care for her.
She furnished her daily quota OF milk,
which was relished by all in the hospi-
tai at the time. and to state that her
presence was welcome would be to
state it mildly. During the bloody
9th and 7th days OF April she disap-
peared, only to return to theregimcnt
after the battle was over. During the
march to and through the siege OF
Corinth, she was in constant attend
ance upon the boys, and gave them a
feeling OF home-like content. After
the siege was confined in the hospi-
tai. and the milk furnished by ''Bossy"
made q welcome addition to my cup OF
black coffee.
Some time during October the COW
suddenly disappeared. Whether she
was made into beef by some other regi-
ment or appropriated for other uses,
the 57th never knew. Can any COM
rade tell anything about 'Bossy's''

GATHERING AROUND 1T IN A REM

Indians as Emil sted Men = A Letter In =
Button = Confederstc Prisoners ON
Their Travels, Etc.. Etc.

The enlistment OF Indians to form s
troops and 10 companies In as many
cavalry and infantry regiments is an
important step toward solution OF
the Indian problem" 1t Is. OF
course, an experiment but one form
from which no harm can come TO the
new recruits or to the service. 1t
may DO productive OF good. certainly
to the Indians, probably to the Army.
The use Of subject tribes under
white officers has proved successful in
the British occupation OF India. and
there are many who believe that 1t
solved difficult problem there. In
the use OF Indians rs scouts our Army
made step toward the present ex-
pertinent.
The War Department does not ex-
pect to escape difficulties in the Or
ganization OF these Indian companies.
1t may be very slow recruiting, es-
pecially for the infantry, AS the Indian
has prejudice to life out OF the sad
die. but among the Navajos and some
other OF the tribes Of Arizona and New
Mexico may be induced to take sery-
ice in the infantry. These Indians, it
Is said, do most of their fighting and
trailing on foot, and will readily
adapt themselves to infantry life.
The conditions OF enlistment will be
about the same rs those governing
white recruits, excepting, OF course. a
requirement of IA knowledge OF Eng
lish and testimonials OF previous moral
character, which the life OF the Indian
has made it unreasonable to insist
upon.
The authorized enlisted strength Of
tho army remains at 1000, and II
the Indian enlistmcnts prove success
full the secretary will ask Congress to
increase the strength OF the army, so
AS to include the 800 Indian recruits
that are hoped for. At present the
enlisted strength is 23, 900, and some
difficulty is now encountered in secur-
ing white and negro recruits.
The Indian companies will have
separate quarters, but in all other re-
spects will be treated as other SOL
diers are. They will be required TO
enlist for five years. Doubtless ex-
perience will suggest to the War De-
partment and to the officers assigned
to the Indian companies variations in
clothing, food, equipments, and, per-
haps, in discipline; but those most
familiar with the Indians when en-
ployed as scouts assert that the intel
ligence of the Indians is likely to be
of IA higher order than that OF the ne
gro or the average white recruit.
Those favorable to the present expert
ment believe that the influence OF dis
cipline upon the moral, mental and
physical condition OF the Indian re-
cruits will be as plainly seen quite as
soon as it is upon any other material
from which our army is drawn
