when Lincoln's first call was made. but

Captain Stewart OF the government
secret service says that never in the
history OF the nation has such opportu-
mites been offered the young men to
receive a military training as now.
When the call to arms was made In
'6i." said Captain Stewart, the citizen
soidiery of Chicago amounted to al
most nothing. There were not more
than 100 guns in the whole militia. Now
there are three regiments. a squadron
OF cavalry and the Ninth battalion.
Fac OF these organizations will accom-
modate 200 more men. An able-bodied
man who cares to enlist can do so and
receive equipments and arms at once.
Facilities for recruiting the armies OF
'61 were scant."
There is very little difference between
the life OF an enlisted man in the United
States army and that Of the average
citizen of limited means. The differ
ence consists mainly I'm the restrictions
OF military discipline. This il by no
mean such a burden as Is popularity
supposed. The chief difference to the
life of the citizen mentioned is that the
soldier is subject to control all the
time; the citizen has absolute liberty
from the time the whistle blows at the
end of n days work until IL sounds
for the commencement of another. The
citizen can terminate his employment
at will. or his superior may end II for
him. Neither the soldier nor the officer
can fire" al enlisted man.
If the man of II years who enters the
army is n good citizen. obedient to the
laws of the land, he makes a good SOL
der and has a fairly agreeable time.

The e~xigencies of the hour required that
these skeleton companies be filled up

were the Chicago Light infantry, the

A recruiting office was opened in the

Within an hour after II became known

heat OF the struggle and soon earned
battle fame.
Recruiting headquarters were main
tained In Chicago throughout the en-
tire war. More than a dozen regiments
and artillery companies were given TO
the army from this city and all were
mustered into the service In Chicago.
There still remained at home men and
boys. who had aided their names on
the volunteer rolls. but their services
were not required.
Throughout the residence districts
during the first year OF the conflict
there were dozens Of permanent war
headquarters, where many of the COM
panies which earned fame In the rebel
lion had their origin. Behind some
chosen leader these companies, private

government recruiting stations and were
mustered into the service.
These stirring scenes In the public
streets are being recalled by the veter-
ans who witnessed them. In view Of the
fact that they recognize a condition OF
affairs similar to those which existed
prior to the bombardment of Fort
Sumter National honor had been a
common theme for the sermons OF min
listers. and preliminary preparations for
the expected call TO arms had been in

Paris, Sept. 3. - Among the many
wild rumors flying about is one that
seems too incredible to meet even no.
tice did it not show the state of the
public mind. This is that Col. Henry
did not comfit suicide.
The Figaro says that when the COM
missary of police arrived at Mount
Nalerien he asked for Col. Henry's
valise and the razor with which he
committed suicide. He was told that
they both had been sent to the minister
of war.
This extraordinary proceeding could
not fail to be commented upon here,
where verify believe the people dould
leave man hanging rather than cut
him down before the arrival Of the po-
lice. Such Il detail as that the razor
had been sent to the minister of war
makes many people ask why.
The Eclair, referring to this matter,
says: This controversy has shown us
long ago to what depths certain indi-
viduals can descend. So we We're not
surprised TO read that the suicide Of

"kismet,"

A London journal tells of certain
lady who has in her room a piece of
statuary which bears the inscription,
''kislnet." The housemaid was dust
ing the room one day when the mis-
tcess appeared.

you mind tellin' me the m'anin' of this

'kismet' means fate answered the
lady.
Sure, an is that it," said the girl.
A few days afterward the hosemaid
came limping into her mistress room.
''Why, what is the matter with you,
Bridget?' asked the lady.
"Oh, ma'am, sure an l have the
