to let him have the box, but
he took it anyhow, and she did not find
this out until later. He had Mexican

ON A HUNGER STRIKE.
Troop A. 9Th Cavalry, Refuses to Eat
Vile Food, and Walks Out.
To the HERALD:

To the HERALD:
FIT BLISS. Tex, February IS, 1897.
Troop "A" 9th cavalry, stationed al
this post, walked out of the mess hall
in body, at break fast time this morn
ing. The food set before them was of
such vile character, that they pre-
ferred to go hungry. rather than touch
it. The men lett the table in a quiet
and orderly manner. Captain Hinton,
the officer of the day present on duty,
ordered the first sergeant to fall in the
troop at quarters and march them
back. This was done and the men re-
took their seats at the table, but this
was all any existing authority could
make them do There is no paragraph
in the regulations under which a SOL
dirr can be compelled to eat. The
officer of the day, probably realizing
this fact, did not further interfere with
the men and after sitting few minutes,
they all walked out again.
The food served at the consolidated
mess at this post has never been of d
kind to entitle this institution to the
honor of being a model culinary estab-
lishment, but within the las few
months, things have taken a decided
turn for the worse. The trouble is per-
haps parity attributable to the fact,
that couple of enterprising bonifaces
have set up rival esta bliShment to
the post exchange, close to the garri
son, and by dint OF a larger credit list,
and more copiOus measures of the fluid
amber, managed to entice away quite
number of the hoys from the patronage
OF the saloon that is run under the aus
pices of Uncle Sam. OF course this
would curtail the dividends of that in
stitutiOn and, in consequence, lessen
the amount of funds available to con-
duct the mess.
1t will scarcely fail to strike the most
superficial observer that there is some
thing Fundamentally wrong in a system
that cOmpels a soldier to spend his
money fo. booze under the supervision
of the government, or it's representa-
tives, if he does not want to go hungry.
There are other great objections to the
system of general mess. 1t is a potent
,ctor for he generation of discomfort
and blndrance to the progress of
efficiency in the service. In a recent
letter to the San Antonio Express,
which the HERALD had the kindness to
coDv, l endeavored to enumerate some
of b. evil resultant from this system.
We trust to the aid of the press To
bring about its ultimate abolition, for
it is much to be regretted thatiu affairs
where the welfare of the enlisted men
are concerned, reforms are usually put
off until the matter has become a pub
lie scandal, as in the case of the abuses
at jefferson barracks, a few years past.
In the meantime we will hope that
in our own particular case a speedy
effort will be made to bring about an
improvement, for verify we stand sore

WRENCHDD AND RACKBD.

BY the pangs Of rheumatism, the joints
eventually become grievously distorted,
and sometimes assume an almost grotes-
que deformity. To prevent such results
by simple and agreeable means is GER
tainly the part of wisdom. A tendency
to rheumatic ailments may be successful
ly combatted with Hostetter's Stomach
B;tters, a medicine with the prestige Of
q long and successful career, Of unbound
ed popularity, and of emphatic profess
sional endorsement. 1t removes from the
blood those infammatory impurities
which Psychologists assign as the cause
of rheumatism, and not only purifies the
life current, but enriches it, promoting
vigor by fertil;zing it's source. Diges-
ton, the action of the bowels and the
secretion Of the bile, are aided by it,
and it impels the kidneys and bladder
to a regular and active performance Of
their functions. 1t is besides thor
oughly reliable remedy for, and means
Of preventing, periodic fevers.

9inia troops by President Davis ground
more and more into the souls Of those
officers who were from other States.
Coming back to the subject again, in
letter written NEAR Richmond, July %,
1862" Gen. Cobb remarked: Il con-
fess that l was little annoyed this
morning by an announcement OF the
promotion OF Fitzhugh Lee, to be briga-
der general Of cavalry. / suppose in
few days we will see the balance Of the
Lees promoted also. This man has been
colonel about three months; now l am
to be under him when go out with my
cavalry" Two days later, as If empha-
sizing his antipathy to the Lees, Cobb
spoke thus Of Stonewall Jackson: Would
it not be glorious if God would so order
that this man Of faith should be our chief
delivererT
1t is in letter written August 4, go,
that Gen. Cobb, in plain language charges
bad faith against President Davis. Re
lating a talk with Gen. Lee, he said: u
asked him to accompany us. He re-
Piled: Colonel, dirty camp gives me
nausea. If you say your camps are clean,
/ will co. I said, Using words Of
better man, come and see.' The legiOn's
camp was very nice. The Twenty-fourth
Georgia was swept as clean as parlor,
and the others were very good. Gen.
Lee was high in his praises. Returning
to headquarters, found jug OF butter
milk which had been sent me. Taxing
the jug, l told the general that it was
said that drinking was the curse OF the
army. and I supposed / must fall in and
offer him a drink. The old fellow laugh
ed and drank tumbler full.
"While we were riding had a singular
conversation with Gen. Lee. He COM
menced by saying he relied on Howell
and me more than on any two officers
in the civil part of the army. He then
asked me why l did not raise my legion
to a brigade; that he was troubled at its
separation, but it was impossible to keen
it together, and that he would be de-
lighted if would raise it to brigade. |
listened to him, but shook my head and
said: General, six months ago / did that
very thing under authority Of President
Davis, and he repudiated it. | cannot go
| through with that again But said he,
there is no objection now. There was a
difficulty then. Governor Brown claimed
| your regiments. The President told me
| so.' / replied: General, the President
was not candid with you. My regiments
| went into the Governors camp by his
express permission. The President did
not give you the true reason. He gave
me very different one. 1t was my
brothers appointment The CONVERSE
ton was interrupted here and was not
resumed"

Cobb would have done well to suppress,
but since they have permitted it to &c
out. it will be as well to quote it. 1t is

'The papers say that Andy Johnson

that Butler has been assassinated. Glor:.

of woman. Did you think could ever
