MARCH TO HANCOCK, ND.
By j. A. ScoTT.

In the winter of I86I-62, Coles Cav
airy was constantly patrolling the
Potomac river from Frederick to Cum
berland, except Company B, which
was on duty in Western Virginia.
The winter was very severe, but the
boys stood its hardships uncomplain-
ingly. Company c was on picket
duty at Four Locks on the canal.
Colonel Henley, of the First Maryland
Infantry, was in command ofthe forces
along the river, with headquarters at
Milestone Point. His infantry was,
like the cavalry, scattered here and
there at various points on the river.
Drilling and pickets duty was the
principal occupation Of both cavalry
and infantry. The post of Company
c at Four Locks was not very UNI
pleasant one, as we had comfortable
quarters. We were then uniformed
with gray overcoats, color which the
Confederates had adopted, though |
think that fact was not known at the
time that the Government issued to
us these coats.
Colonel Kenly made us an occasional
visit, and on one occasion he ordered
a body of us to escort him to one OF
the posts of his infantry on the river
a few miles from -Four Locks. When
we neared their camp the long rolf
was being beaten, and we saw them
rapidly falling into line, which led us
to believe they were expecting an at
tack from across the river. The Col
onel halted us and galloped rapidly
towards them, out came back in
few minutes rolling from side to side
on his horsein aparoxysm Of laughter.
AS soon as he could get breath he said:
boys, you must at once have your
coats changed. My men took us for
Rebels, and had / not halted you when
did, we would have received volley
from them. feel funny about it now,
boys, but it might not have been funny
at all had i not halted you in time,
for it began to dawn upon me what
was the matter. My boys were highly
excited to see the enemy, as they
thought, come upon them so suddenly
and from an unexpected quarter, but,
by George. they were ready to make
it hot tor them. tell you the boys
of my regiment are not to be caught
mapping. You must have other coats
Immediately. 1t was not long until
we were clothed in the loyal blue.
Early in January, 1862, General
Stonewall Jackson left Martinsburg
and Winchester with his command
and marched to the Potomac opposite
Hancock, Maryland. and sent a flag
of truce to General Lander demanding
the surrender Of the town. There was
only small body of Federal troops
stationed there. but orders were quick
ly sent out for all the forces within
reach to hasten to the place, cavalry,
infantry and artillery. The enemy,
when surrender was refused, opened
fire on Hancock. AS soon as we at
Four Locks heard the explosions we
felt that it meant business for us. and,
true to our anticipations, an order
came for us to march to Hancock. 1t
was very cold. and the clouds had

No mystery about it. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to
give away bottle Of their Digestive
Cordial to any one who might call at
their New York office, there was
great rush and great many people
thought they were crazy.
Subsequent events proved it to
have been very clever advertising
transaction, for although they gave
away thousands of bottles, it was in
the end profitable; nearly everyone
that took free bottle came back for
more and paid for 1t with pleasure,
saying they had derived better results
from its use than from any other
medicine they had ever used.
There is nothing so uniformly sue
cessful in the treatment OF stomach
troubles as the Shaker Digestive Cor
dial, and what is better than all, it
relieves at once.

There is not a doubt that the war in
Greece is virtually at an end. All that
remains is to settle the terms in which
the armies of victorious Turkey will
consent to evacuate their positions and
restore the occupied territory to
Greece. That Greece is to pay the
penalty for her rash attempt to aid
the Cretans to resist the yoke of Tur-
is plain, also that to the hostility of the
Powers the crippled condition of
Greece is owing. Even now it is I'M
certain to what extent the Powers are
willing to interpose to prevent the dis
memberment of Greece itself. Russia
is opposed to the continuation of the
Danish dynasty, represented by King
George, and what Russia insists on in
this matter is likely to gain the appro-
val of the rest of the Powers.

WEDNESDAY, MAY u, 1897.

There is a decided dead set made by
Japan for control of Hawaii. Since
that semi-civilized people cleaned out
that semi-barbarous neighbor of theirs
China, they have been thirsting for a
new field for their enterprise and have
pitched on Hawaii. They had better
keep quiet over there or Uncle Sam
will issue an act of eviction that will
hustle them back to Japan 80 quick
they will never know what hit them
until they land in Yokohoma. There is
no one, not even Carl Spreckles, is go
ing to preempt a claim on that island
in contravetion of American rights. 1t
is in order for this country to take pos
session over there and that before
long. There is not a reasonable doubt
of this being decided on and it is only
a question of preliminaries now.

1t is not the American policy to scale
down. Scaling up is the thing desired
and towards which efforts of the gov
eminent in all it's legislation on tariff
and labor should aim. That a labor
saving machine in the hande of a man
who earns 25 cents a day in Japan,
will accomplish as much as that ma
chine in the hands of man who earns
So a day in America is Sell evident. 1t
is also self evident then that the Amer
lean must scale down or go out of COM
petition or be protected This last is
just what the American system as in
terpreted by the Republican party
aims at, but it will not be effective I'M
til both the cheap labor and the pro-
duct of it are excluded from the Amer
lean soil. This is the only protection
that will actually protect.

THhe Greeks who pride themselves
on their navy and their ability to man
age great guns in battle are not to be
compared with the Turks in the eff

Their guns are of short range cbmpar-

plant his batteries out of range of the
Greek cannon and shell their positions
effectively. Someone besides a head
