ADMIRAL AND GENERAL.

The Only Remembered Instance of Man
Holding Both Ranks at the Same Time.
Rear-Admiral Samuel Z. 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 maior-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,
1910. 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,
XIV. 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 un-
til it was captured on June II, 1862. He
was also in the Kanawha alley in No
yember. 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.
It was the first cavalry raid OF any i'm
nortance 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
sss. 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
n North Carolina, being in command
Of Goldsboro during its occupancy by
Gen. Sherman's forces. In January,
1860. 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-

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
AN INCIDENT OF WAR TIMES.

- 1-1A "hose Anti-Inion Feeling Led to
Bloody Fight.
Inc death of Addison NJ. Starr At Car,
Francisco recalls an exciting incident
OF war times in Portland when he Was
sheriff One night in the winter of
1907 Capt. Staples. of the steamer
BrotherJ Jonathan. which afterward went
oown OF Crescent City, Cal, Capt.
Dodge, gambler named Fred Patter-
son and a familiar character known
as 'One-armed 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 barlSeeper
said "all ready, gentlemen" Capt.
Staples lifted his glass and said:
Here's to the Unions'
TO 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 every body 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:
81 viii 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 fed and took ref
uge in an clubhouse and surrendered to
Louis M. Starr, Addison's 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,
7. 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 a man named Donahoe. who was
special policeman in Portland when
Capt Staples was killed. -Northwest

Wine and whisky are linked with

Alcohol burns up the good, while it

be done by wine, or wine may prepare

VARIOUS eREvITIEs.

JUDeE JAMES ]. KILBRETH, of thu
court of common sessions of New York
city says My own Judgment, based
upon my experiences at the bar, is that
excessive drinking and the use Of
liquor in some form or other, either di-
rectly or indirectly, is the cause OF
ninety per cent. of the crime, poverty
and misery of the community"
''THE one chief reason for my be-
coming an abstainer, says Archdeacon
Farrar, was because | saw on all sides
the waste. the ruin, the misery, the
degradation, the disease, the wretched-
ness of homes. the destruction Of hui
man bodies. the human faculties, and
human souls; the national disgrace and
calamity, the cruel determination OF
debasement of the weaker races of
mankind in our colonies and depend
encies, which are caused by drink"
In Darkest Africa" the darkest of
all the shadows is that caused by the
sale of intoxicants to the untutored ma
tives. Either license, or light taxation,
as the only restraint upon greedy
liquor traders, means in effect whole
sale ruin for the natives. Prohibition
alone will be adequate for their pres
ervation. The Fifty-frst congress
ought not to adjourn without proyid-
ing by appropriate legislation for the
prohibition of American expectation OF
intoxicating liquors to Africa. Ma
tional Temperance Advocate.
FINLAND appears to be the most
favored country in the world as re-
CARDS temperance legislation. Local
option is an old established reform,
which country districts have so far de-
rived benefit from that they are free
of drink shops altogether The tenn
perance societies appear to great adj
vantage, when their methods of pro-
viding well-stocked libraries. properly
lighted reading rooms and comfortable
and enticing coffee houses for those
they desire to weap from the public
house are compared with some others
in different lands
A LADY who kept record of the
wife murders perpetrated by drunken
husbands. which have been reported in
the daily papers for year, says that
three thousand and four cases have oc-
Cured during that time. Now let some
one tell us how many sons, daughters,
brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers and
neighbors have been murdered by
drunken men. Then let us find out
how many broken limbs and heads and
fortunes and hearts have resulted from
the use of strong drink. When one be-
gins to estimate the aggregate of mis-
chief wrought by rum, he is puzzled to
comprehend the indifference of the peo-

foundly stirred on this subject, but few

THE coLoNEL's PIPE.
It Had History and He Hated to Part
with IT.

with II.
During the summer of ga 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 a 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 II was beautifully carved
The bowl was held in an eagles claw.
Everybody knows that the next thing
after purchasing 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 beautiful rich
brown color. 1t usually requires few
months to color a 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 Doth smokingl on
the parade: where did you get that
pipe, lieutenant? It's a fine one. :"
well, | got it from an old German that
was dead broke replied the lieuten-
ant. "He was just up from the front,
on his way home to be discharged. He
looked bad guess he wanted some
commissary and / bantered him for a
trade. He hated to part with it and
said his father and grandfather had
smoked it and that the stem was Ger
man cherry, but as he was hard up
got it." 'Well, lieutenant" said the
colonel. chow will you trade. As you
smoke stronger tobacco than do, you
can soon color this one ''Oh, / don't
know" he replied, this has a history
and it is old. l don't care to. and was
about turning away when the colonel
said: ''I'll give you this pipe and TWEEN
ty dollars for it," He consented rattle
reluctantly, but added, "being as it is

every one who wanted cigar needed
only to hunt up the colonel and say:

DrInk and murder.

A whisky drinker will commit muir
der only under the direct excitement of
liquor; a beer drinlSer is capable of do
ing it in cold blood. Long observation
has assured us that large proportion
of murders. deliberately planned and
executed without passion or malice.
with no other motive than the aequisi-
ton of property or money. often of
trifiing value, are perpetrated by beer
drinkers. We believe further that the
hereditary evils of beer drinking ex-
coed those proceeding from ardent spir-
its-frst because the habit is constant
and without paroxysmal Interruptions
which admit of some recuperation;
secondly, because beer drinking is
practiced by both sexes more generally
than the spirit drinking, and thirdly,
because the animalizing tendency is
more uniform. and the vicious results
are more generally transmitted Pa

CoIored 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 81, 1858. 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 steadiness and bravery in those to
whom it was confided. 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
inc the day three charges upon the bat
teries OF the enemy. suffering very
heavy losses and holding their position
