COL. MIx'S SWORD.
War Memorials Presented the Sd ~. Y. Cav
by Col. Turner.

At the annual Reunion of the Sd n. Y. Cav,
held in Rochester, recently, Col George w.
Turner Of New York, presented the Association
with the sword and sash of Lieut. Col. john T.
Mix. The story Of the relics was told by Lieut..
Maurice Legion. as follows:
while the Sd Cav. was stationed at New
Berue N. c., in 1863, with Lieut-Col John T.
Mix in command, his. attention was drawn to a
boy apparently nine or 10 years old, who. with
bis parents, was spending the Winter in the
South. The lad was exceedingly anxious to be-
come soldier, and was always lingering around
the Colonels Headquarters, OF riding some of
the cavalrymen's horses whenever an 0ppor-
tunity was presented.
His bright appearance and determination
to become soldier greatly impressed the COM
handing officer, who ordered the regimental
tailor to make suitable uniform for the boy
furnished him with horse and equipments
and made him uniformed Cavalry Orderly on
his staff When the regiment was ordered to Lit
tie Washington, the young Orderly nccompa MED
it, aud during the fierce engagement that en-
sued, performed his duties with a commend
able bravery. carrying q dispatch under .
severe fire from the enemy.
His courage was well tested, and the
youngster proved equal to the emergency, car
rying the dispatch with an accuracy that gained
for him not only the close friendship of his
| commanding officer, but also brought to him
Of the Sd. few Of whom ever forgot the Col.
! onels little messenger.
Elm the course of time Col. Mix became 30
! greatly attached TO the boy that he promised
| him his sash and sword upon his departure, Col.
Mix having received leave of absence from
his own company, the Second Dragons, in the
| Regular Army, to accept promotion as officer
in volunteer company. Upon the departure
| of Col. Mix, the Juvenile Orderly held him to
/ the promise and the sash and sword were duly
surrendered. The Colonel subsequently died,
and George w. Turner, the young Orderly, is
now known as Col. Turner, a title attain ed
through his association on the staff Of Gov.
4 Morton"
Lieut. Legion has the sash and sword now
in his possession, and the sword will be appro-
pristely engraved and preserved in the archives
| OF tho old Sd n. Y. as a memento of the old days
of '6l 10 49, when the youngest carrier Of war
| messages was earning his spurs.

until 1899, very little seemed TO be known about
the history and evolution Of the seal. Some
persons claimed 10 see masonic embiems on the
reverse OF the SEAL and many were the theories
advanced concerning the meaning OF the OBJ
verse. Accordingly. James q. Blaine, then
Secretary of State, ordered an investigation
OF the matter by Mr. Hunt, which brought
forth the following facts:
On July 4, I776, after the Declaration of In

Congress, DR. franklin, John Adams and Mr.,
Jefferson were appointed q committee TO pre-

5000 men of the Navy proper and 1000 OF the
Marine Corps. and for three years past the
Navy has suffered embarrassment in manning
the new ships that have been added to the list.
The Navy yards, receivng-ships and recruit
ing stations were SO depleted by the constant
drafts made on them that from all three
sources combined it would have been difficult
at any time to have mustered enough men to
make up a crew for q single ship. Even as it is
now. the complement now authorized includes
1900 immature boys, known as apprentices,
half of whom are at sea performing the duties
of adult seamen, whilethe other half ar under
going instructions. either on training ships or
at the Newport Naval Training Station.
With the greater part of the fresh 900 men
three more vessels will be at once added to tho
active list of the NRvy--the Maine Texas and
Lancaster. The Maine and Texas are now Sec
ond-ciass battlcships. and the Lancaster is
one of the best Of the old fashioned wooden
frigates The rest of the 1000 men will
be used TO round ont the compliments of
some of the big ships already in commission,
such as the New York. the Columbia and the
Minneapolis. which are VIGOROUSLY short of
men.
After the Maine, Texas, and Lancaster will
come the monitors Puritan, Monadnock, and
Amphitrite, the ram katahdin, the Ericsson, the
frst-class batteship Iowa, the armored cruiser
Brooklyn, the three first sister battle
ships Massachusetts,, Indiana. and Oregon, and
the three gunbuats now completing at New
port News Va. Whenthey are put into COM
mission within tho next year another very
large increase will be needed in the force of
enlisted men.
Secretary Herbert estimates that the Maine
will need 80 men, the Texas 326. the Puritan
$50, the Katahdin 50. the Ericsson "a, the
a1onadnock 149, the Boston 229, tho Indiana,
Massachusetts. and Oregon 1874 each. and 100
men each for the throc new gunboats to be
completed next Spring. hcprogram recently
arranged was that the Maine. Puritan Katah-
din, and Ericsson would be put into commits
sion during July tho Texas and Monadnock in
August the Boston in September and the In
diana. Massachusetts, and Oregon in September,
November and December respectively.
All these crows aggregate nearly $500 men.
The Naval authorities, however, hope to be
able to get along with the 1000 men allowed
by making judcious selection of the ships to
be kept in commission.
Some of the new vessels named could, if re-
guired for active war service in sudden emerg-
ency, be put into commission even now, IL there

the handing in Of copy at the
eleventh hour, but I do know that
the Union Office is. There are q
whole lot of people who never
think it is necessary to hand copy
in early, but wait until the very
last moment and thereby cause an
noyance to editor, publisher and
printer. An advertiser that
knows his business will always
provide copy for his ad early, for
he soon learns that he will get a
better looking ad, if he gives the
printer time to use taste and judg-
ment upon it,. Now, careless
