THE Ex-coNFEDs aor THERE.
When it Came to Drilling They Were
Simply Inapproaohable.
~ ~ @


The Memphis (Tepn.) papers devote
several columns to descriptions of mill
tary drill in that city last Thursday be-
fore an immense gathering, the object be-
ing the raising of fund for the erection
of monument in Memphis to the memory
of the late Gen. N. B. Forrest. the great
confederate cavalry commander The
drill was between thirty-two ex-confeder-
ates, men who fought during the civil
war third OF century ago, and the
Chickasaw Guards, which sixteen years
ago were declared by Gen. Sherman to be
the best drilled body of men he had ever
known in this country or in Europe,
and which is now in the pink Of
| condition An ex-federal brigadier, an
ex-confederate brigadier and an ex-con-
federate colonel were the judges. The
veterans drilled by the Hardee tactics,
while the guards used Upton's tactics. Ii
is said that among the thirty-two there
were only three under 80 years Of age,
and it was apparent that in the ranks
were men old enough to be grandfathers.
AS the vets lined up the audience was
inclined to smile in anticipation of
series of blunders, but the boys in gray
disappointed the spectators most agree
ably. The beautiful tactics of Hardee
were gone through with so dexterously
and readily that the applause that greeted
| the movements was at once sponta-
neous and genuine. When the vets had
finished, the guards followed with
drill which seemed the poetry of military
tactics. The judges then unanimously
awarded the prize to the veterans at
is, perhaps, proper for u.s." said the
judges in making the award, Ito say that
the Chickasaw Guards, though the best
drilled volunteer company in America,
| could not hope to successfully compete
with a company that had four years Of
constant drill in the army and thirty
years of experience since, and we have no
doubt the Chicks will acquiesce in the
award as having been made on the merits
of the drill" After the cheers that
greeted the decision had died away, the
confederate veterans were paid off in con-
federate money as long as the supply
lasted. The privates received $40 each,
and acknowledged the receipt in writing.
The chaplain was more fortunate, aud re-
ceived $50 The funds gave out before the

MATE JENNEY's PARROT.
If Tt Doesn't Think 1t Seems to Come
Very Near 1t.


Charles P. Jenney, the parrot, is the
property of Mate William P. Jenney,
United States navy, now curator of the
Lyceum in the Charlestown navy yard.
Mr.. Jenney is ali old sailor. He began
service before the mast when but 10 years
of age, and has followed the sea ever
since Before he was thirty years of age
he had been around the world seven
times. When the war broke out he vol
unteered. and fought it out on deck,
reaching the rank of ensign.
About fifteen years ago, when Mr..
Jenney was in New Bedford, Mass, some
sailors who had Just returned from the
coast OF the Dark Continent gave him the
bird which has since proved so famous
AS swearer the bird was without a
peer. He came to Charlestown. and IN a
few monthsceased TO swear. Civilization
converted him.
Charley shows his African descent and
tendencies in the way his dress is ar
ranged. for he has on all colors-a white
face, slate-colored nose. drab coat and
a whole lot of fire-red feathers stuck in
his tail.
The usual place to find him is in a
large cage in the center of the Jenney
suite, and from morn till night he sits on
his perch and watches all that goes on
around him and hears and digests all that
is said
He is very reserved TO all except those
with whom he is we'll acquainted, and no
matter how much you may hear him whis-
tie outside the door, the moment you enter
his room he stops short and looks you all
over with the greatest gravity. For min
utes he will not remove his eyes from
you.
Sometimes he says "Helloar but that
is all. You cannot get another word out
of him till he has sized you up to his sat-
isfaction.
If yon sit down for a siege, determined
TO stay till he does talk, you will proba-
bly, succeed, for he can keep quiet only
about so long.
When the writer saw Charles p, he
began TO whistle "Suwannee River"
after three or four minutes waiting. He
whistles perfectly, only he ca mot help
catching his breath every once in a
while. seeing that he has but one place To
breathe through. So every few bars he
has to stop, get fresh supply of air.
and then 20 on to the next landing
place. One peculiar habit he has is that
of turning his back on his audience the
instant he concludes TO take a turn at the
entertaining. And he has a peculiar Do
sition when listening intently. He turns
his head right upside down, his beak
straight up in the air.
If you whistle new tune in his pres
ence, or hum an air from the latest opera
he is all attention, and after you have
gone he will practice il for long while.
This bird can whistle twenty-five tunes
just as correctly as they are written, and
never makes q. hat or sharp. He can

UNHAPPY PRINCESS MAY.
misunderstood Mar the Welded
Life of the Prospective King and
Queen Of Great Britain.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Queen Of Great Britain.
From the Philadelphia Press
London, May luxurious stories are
current in London with regard to alleged
Understandings between the duke
and duchess of York, and considera BILE
color is lent thereto by the fact that the
young couple are rarely seen together in
public. the duke being with his father,
mother and Sisters, while the duchess ap-
pears to find the society of her own fam
lily infinitely more congenial than that of
her husband and her father-in-law's
family.
Thus, one hears of the duke of York
staying at Sandringham, while his wife
spends weeks together at her parents
house in Richmond; and, whenever one
hears of Princess May attending any
theater, 1t is invariably in the com pany
of her father or mother, while on the
very same evening the duke of York
would be acting as escort to his mother
and sisters at some other dramatic per-
Torrance
All this merely serves to revive the
rumors that were current at the time of
the marriage. to the effect that the union
was by no means love match, and that
it was distasteful not only to the dukes
mother, but also TO the duke himself.
1t is stated that there have been troub-
les in connection with the settlement
upon Miss Seymour and her child, she
being the young lady TO whom the duke is
asserted TO have been privately married
several years previously, during the life
time of his elder brother. OF course, If
there has been any marriage it was inva-
lid from legal point Of view, it net hav-
ing received the sanction of either the
queen or parliament.
The duke and duchess have given a
number of dinner parties at York House,
their London residence in ST. James
Palace, but they were not pleasant, and
the more observant of the guests were
impressed by the lack of cordiality that
seemed TO reign between the young
couple, who have not been married a
year. and who are now expecting their
first child. OF course, no one could speak
with absolute certainty about the rela-
tions between the duke and duchess, and
one can only Judge from appearances,
which certainly give color to the many
reports Of an unpleasant character that
are current on the subject.
