Very Poor Soldiers.

Gen. Shafter has ordered the Second
Regiment Of lmmunes out Of the city
of Santiago. The regiment had been
placed there as garrison, to preserve
order and protect property. There has
been firing of arms inside of the town
by members of this regiment without
orders. So far as known, some of the
men have INDUCED in liquor until they
have verged upon acts of license and
disorder. The inhabitants in some
quarters have alleged loss Of property
by force and intimidation, and there
has grown up feeling Of uneasiness
concerning them, if not of alarm. Gen
Shafter has, therefore, ordered this
regiment into the hills, where discip-
line can be more severely maintained.
In place Of the Second volunteer i'm
munc regiment, Gen. Shafter has or
dered into the city the Eighth Illinois
volunteer regiment of colored troops. in
whose sobricty and discipline he has
confidence, and of whose sturdy en-
forcement Of order no doubt is felt by
those in command

AT one ner;od dnrinq the rebellion

At one period during the rebellion
shere were no less than "a major gen.
erals and 276 brigadiers on the rolls,
which was far more than there was any
use for. President Lincoln recognized
this mistake before any body else, but
he consoled himself by joking about it.
1t is recalled that on one occasion, when
one of these superfuous generals was
captured by the enemy with number
of men and horses, somebody undertook;
to condole with the President On the;
subject, remarking that the loss Oh tha,
captured generals service was a great
misfortune to the government Po0fH'

Gan lie Got out,
An example of some of the queer ex-
periences people have when they are
called upon to buy thing with which
they are not familiar and which they
have need of only Gu rare and unusual
occasions is thus set forth by the Mil
waukee Sentinel:
A young woman who worked as q
domestic went to dentist to get her
teeth repaired. He repaired them and
sent a bill Of $S5. He justified himself
for the charges by explaining how
much the Filings cost him. In one hol-
low tooth, he said, he put $40 worth Of
gold. The bill was paid, and recently,
when the ttlenugget (said to be worth
S1O) came out, the woman took it to q
goldsmith and had it appraised. He
weighed it scrupulously and valued it
at 4S cents She no longer has faith in
her dentist.

good work deserves good pay. A few
blocks away the same work was done
last week for So, just as we'll as if $l5
had been paid, and it was done by
