The Packet Season Prospect.

The river men, of course, have little to
do at present but find congenial COMPANY
and indulge in yarns and prophecies
The Hannibal Courier reporter has at,
tended one OF these gatherings and
springs the following:
1t is grave question just what the
Diamond 10 line will do next year There
is strong talk that the Eagle company will
purchase the line. but it is nothing more
than talk so far. E M. Dckey. who had
30 much to do with making the line @
success, is now in Chicago, and he. as
well as Capt. Killeen, have about all they
can attend to without devOting any part
Of their time TO the river business, conse-
quentlY it is not improbable that they
would be glad tn have an opportunity to
abandon the river business.
If the Diamond Joe is to remain in the
river it needs about two more boats of
light craft and as fast as possible. The
Sidney is all right, as well as the Gem
City. but the Pittsburg is too heavy and
draws too much water to do much good
when the water is as low as in recent
years. The steamer St. Paul, which is
now on the market, would be an advsn-
tageous purchase for the Diamond 10 for
the through trade, and the fact that the
Diamond 10 people would be glad to
abandon the river if it could be done
without too great loss.

AROUND A SHAFT.
Ferilous Experience of a Young Man in
Davenport

| most singular and remarkable acci-
dent occurred in Davenport the other
afternoon. The scene of the sffair was
Lehrkind's brewery in the west end snd
the victim was Charles Faulkner. son of
Capt. Faulkner of the police force.
Young Faulkner was helping to pack
Ice in the shed and was at the time of the
accident. standing near the hoisting ma
chinerv, which. when in motion, runs at
a high speed. His clothes being wet he
happened to touch the large pulley while
In action, to which his clothes quickly
frCze, and in an instant he was whirling
around and around. With almost super>
human presence of mind he succeeded in
holding his head in such position as to
prevent it coming in contact With any
thing. He was enable, however, 20 look
cut for his head and feet TOO, and while
he guarded his head the force with which
he was 40 times hurled around beat the
heels off OF brand new pair of heavy
shoes. The machinery was stopped as
quickly as human efforts possibly could
but not any too soon for Young Fsulk-
ner. for the rtio. shock and excitement
had by that time almost used him up.
He was removed fr, m his plrlous po-
sition, but upon examination he was
found il better condition than the boys
with whom he was working had reason
to hope for. Fortunately for him he
was badly bruised, but no bones were
blokeH ahd unless injuries develop he is
in fir way to recovery.
During the season young Faulkner is
EN- ploTed in the river business in the en-
ploy of the government, while il the win
ter he has charge of the ice packing al
Lehrkind's brewery.
The doctor states that under the cir.
cumstances the patient is doing very well
and the most serious injury sustained
seems to be done to the young mans
feet. 1t will be some time before he will
again be seen on the streets.

RAISED IN RANK.
Col. Clendenin Made a Briga.
dier General.
IN COMMAND OF A NEW BRIGADE.

An Important Change In the Illinois Ma
tional Guard Which VIII be of Interest to
the Sucker State Sc dIer Boys-The Or.
der From the Adjutant General.
An important order has been issued
from the office of the adjutant general of
'ne state which will be read with interest
by all members of the state militia, and
particularly by the boys of the Sixth reg
lment. to which Company A, the Rodman
klnes' belongs. The order reorganizes
the illinois National Guard by making it
composed OF three instead of two brig
AIDES, and Col. William Clendenin, of Mo.
line, commander of the Sixth Infantry, is
appointed commander Of the new brigade
with the rank of brigadier general. The
brigade will consist Of the Third and
Sixth Infantry and Troop B, of Bloom
iUgtOn. The first brigade consists of the
First and Second Infantry. Battery D, of
Chicago, and Troop A, of Chicago, Gen.
eral Charles Fitzsimons, commander.
The second brigade consists of the Fourth
enc Fifth Infantry and Battery D. of
Danviile. General James Il. Berkeley, of
Springfield, commander.
The division of the state militia into
three brigades has been under discussion
for some time. The first attempt at a
brigade encGmpment II 1891 showed
that the grounds were not large enough
to accommodate three regiments, but
that two would have room. The pres-
ent organization of three 5rigsdes is uu-
doubtedly the best thing that could be
done for the militia, and the appointment
OF Col. Clendenin to command the Third
brigade is just what ought to have been
done.
His N Hilary Life.
The Moline Dispatch gives the follow
ing sketch of Col. Clepdenin's military
life:
Gen. Cleudenin entered the Illinois
National Guard Aug. 81, 1877, as Sd
lieutenant OF the com pany organized by
Lyman STtSOTJ, Inc company was
temporarily attached to the Fourth in.
fantry, but in September became a part
OF the Fourteenth battalion. Jan. 4,
1873, Lieut.. Ciendenin was promoted 10
the 1st lieutenancy, and Nov. 9th the
same year be became captain or the COM
psnY. May 80, 1879. he was elected
maj jor of the Sixth regiment. July 10
1880, he was again promoted to the lieu
tenant colonelcy, and May II, 1882 he
was elected colonel, E position to which
he has been twice rejected. He has al
ways been popular man in the regiment.
as his continued promotion and his third
election to the colonclCY shows. The
regiment, in his 10 years command OF
il, hss been brought TO q high degree of
efficiency by his work and that of the
other officers of the regiment. There
has been infused into the regiment q
spirit that has made every man IN it want
| TO make il the best in the state.
| This promotion will probably make
Lieut.. Colonel D. JACK Foster colonel,
and Maj. Kittilson lieu:entant colonel
Both are popular in the regiment, and
there will probably ne no opposition to
their promotion. Capt. Blanchard, of
| Ottawa, is the senior captain.

one vast stretch of barren sand; bnt far away
could be seen the dim outlines of range of
hills or mountains. We could see the long
lines Of camels plodding over the dreary desert,
the only sign of life.
Then we began TO inspect the wall and while
the boy" was bringing up the cold luncheon
which we were TO eat the top of the wall,
we took occasion to make some photographs.
1t should be said that tile wall is not all
built Of stone and brick, as it is at the place we
visited. In the remote parts of the country it
is only q barrier Of heaped-up earth with &C.
casi0nal towers of brick. but at the Nankow
Pass the base is heavy cut stone the sides of
large, unburned brick, Is miles long seven and
half wide, and about four in thickness. The
inside is filled with earth, on top of which is
pavement of large, square bricks, above which
rises the brick parapet.
The total hight is 20 feet the width across
the top 10 feet spreading to % feet at the base.
Ba5tions surmounted with towers at in
tervals. These are 20 feet square below and
80 at the top. Starways descend from some of
these inside the wall and open through The

weary wastes which stretch away to the north,
nor the barren, rocky peaks 5000 feet high,
which il crowns.
No obstacle was too great for il to pass. Deep
gullies and rapid streams were crossed by solid
arches OF masonry. 1t WAS the imperial will
of a proud, ambitious monarch that the wall
should be one continuous barrier against the
barbarian hordes beyond it. and such it was
made TO be.
North of Picking it divides, and the two
branches inclose a wide section of territory,
coming together again near where the Yellow
River bends TO the westward in its far northern
course, aud again to the south. Across this
great loop runs the great wall aud then on
through the highlands of kansuh, where it
ends somewhere in the mountains.
Visitors to the great wall Usually start early
in the morning from Pekng and travel as far
as the entrance to the Nankow Pass in one day.
1t is tiresome, and OH the whole rather un
interesting trip. One may travel in a two
wheeled cart drawn by two mules. on horse
back. the sturdy little ponies being quite capa-
bic beasts.
But doubtless the most comfortable convey
aDce, which is much to be recommended for
ladies, is the mule litter. 1t is sort Of a sedan
chair borne by two mules One is continually
expecting the thing to topple over, or that

some misunderstanding might arise between
the mules and cause q catastrophe, but there
really is no cause for anxiety. The only OBJ
lection 10 the litter is that il moves very
slowly. The animals conid carry il faster, but
] believe the occupant always objects The
walking gait is comfortable, but irot is highly
disturbing may be inferred from the illus
tration.
There is small town at the entrance TO the
pass, where reasonably good accommodations
can be secured at a native inn. The next
morning Az early start is advisable for the trip
TO the wall aud back 10 the hotel will be nearly
days work. The road is TOO rough for cart
or pony, but The litter can 90, and those who
do not care to walk can mount one of the wise
and serious little donkeys with a great fiat
padded arrangement for saddle, aud this is
the more comfortable way, if not the most dig
nlhed. ii is quite impossible for man or a
woman 10 look or 10 feel diguifed on donkey's
back.
