An Amateur Shoeblack..

The independence displayed by serv.
ants in America invariably forces
Itself on the attention OF visitors
from Europe.
A well known official of the English
posto!hce tells u very good story on
this point. Some years ago he visit
eel America on business, and while
staying at New York he was the
guest OF a prominent officer OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company
"A gentleman whose name is famil-
lar to most Americans
When the Englishman retired at
night he placed his boots outside the
bedroom door, where they were duly
observed next morning by his host,
who asked his wife to get one of the
servants to clean them.

get them cleaned at the corner of

siderable number Of persons under 10
years of age. and much larger num-
Der under As years volunteered, but
no person outside of these limits was
subject to draft.
Everyone must hove noticed the diff
ference in the appearance and physic-
al condition of the veterans at the ma
tional encampment this year indicat-
ing corresponding disparity of ages.
Some are broken-down and decrepit,
while others look to be in vigorous
health and others still in the prime of
life. There was wide difference in
the ages of men who volunteered, and
the same difference prevails in their
ranks now. The soldier who was %
years old when the war closed. and
some were even younger, is now 80
years old. while he who was mustered
out is now 70. One is scarcely past
tho prime Of life, while the other is
ready for the grave.
We are not aware that complete sta
tistics exist as to the ages of Union
soldiers at the time of enlistment. but
partial statistics in regard to Indiana
soldiers throw some light on the SUBJ
lect. A record kept Of the ages, at
the time of enlistment, of l18,254 SOL
diers from this state, shows the fol-

the facts in the case were: Gen, Blank
was the owner of fine barrel of whis-
ky, which he kept against the outside
OF his tent, right by the beat of the
guard over the commissary stores. It
was on dark and dismal night that .
certain member of the Eight Wiscon-
sin. whose name shall be unmentioned.
who was pacing that beat, and wishing
to occupy his time to more purpose
than merely idly promenading, con-
ceived the idea of bottling up the Gen
erals barrel of whisky SO as to have it
handy for the Generals use in the
morning. So he procured lot of
empty canteens from guard headquar-
tiers, formed funnel from q piece of
canvas, and. prying out the bung with
the bayonet he proceeded very indus
triously to work, quite anxious to ac-
complish his self-imposed task before
being relieved from duty. OF course,
after he was relieved he could not be
expected to stay around headquarters
until morning, and on calling around
then to enjoy the Generals surprise
and thanks for his thoughtful employ
ment OF his time, imagine his own sur
prise and disappointment at finding the
canteens all gone, with their precious
contents, and no one able to account
for them or their disappearance.
knowing from sad experience that
army officers arc generally very unap-
preciative of good intentions of the
private soldier, he concluded that he
would not say anything to Gen. Blank
about the matter, and it was probably

that when the General came out to
look after the trimming and watering
OF his whisky plant that morning and
his eagle eye took in the situation, the
look he gave just then will never be

1t is fair to assume that the average
age OF enlistment shown by these fig.
ures held good in the entire BODY OF
soldiers from this State, and that it
was not materially different in other
States. They reveal the interesting
fact that very large proportion, near
~ so per cent. of the soldiers. enlisted
ut the age OF II years or under. The
war took the flower of the youth of
the land. 1t is also interesting to OBJ
serve that out of the foregoing list 900
enilstments were made at the age of
II or under. These boys were under
military age, but probably the recruit
ing officer shut his eyes when they en-
listed, or. more likely, the youngsters
lied as to their age. II they did. it
was pardonable sin. No doubt the
accusing spirit which few up to

blushed as he gave it in: and the re-
cording angel rs he wrote it down
dropped tear upon the words and
blotted them out forever"
OF the total number of men above
80 years, it is fair to assume that con-
siderable number were over As. As
matter of fact. not few men enlisted
who had passed the age of so, and
some who were in the COS. If any of
these are alive now they must be yerv
old men. The great difference in the
ages OF enlistment. all the way from II
to 40 or 45 years, readily accounts for
the difference in the present appear
ance OF the veterans. The writer of
this encountered one comrade during
the present encampment who enlisted
IN 1861 at the age of Is, and is there
fore only AZ years old now, and he is a
past post commander in the G.. A. r.
On the other hand, one meets many
veterans who are we'll advanced in the
HOs, and still larger number who are
In the COS. No doubt the lives of
many soldiers who were not wounded
and who did not contract any disease
were shortened by the exposure and
hardships of the war, and most of
those who came out of the war less
than 30 years old will not live ont
their allotted time. Nevertheless. if
there were call to arms tomorrow
many OF these veterans would enlist in
spite Of the fact that they are beyond
the limit OF transferring ago. The
great bulk of the recruits. however.
in such an event, would be from Young
men born since the civil war closed.

Old-Timc Refugees.

The last proceedings in the ncpo-
tlatlon OF q preliminary treaty of
peace, In 1882, was in relation to the
refugee American loyalists. The
American commissioners consented
to compromise. They agreed that
tnere should be no future conflsca-
IONS or prosecutions OF loyalists, that
an pending prosecutions should be
discontinued, and that congress
should recommend to the several
states and their legislatures, on be-
mar OF the refugees, amnesty and
the restitution of their conflscatej
