STERN DISCIPLINE.

It Il Necessary In War and the Soldier
Must Learn to Submit.
One of Detroit's retired officers, who
tUught in two a and helped for years
TO restrain the savage outbreaks of our
Indians, thus delivered himself to the
writer:
1.-THE very hardest lesson a young
American has to learn when he enters
the army is that of obedience. For the
first time, his individual authority is de-
throned. He is as fractions as a thor
pughbred colt that long rebels against
the whip and spur. 1t is hard for him
10 understand that his freedom of action
must be subordinated to military neces-
sity. He chafes, if he does not openly
rebel, but when once whipped into line
he makes the best soldier on earth.
my first drillmaster had been my
friend and the friend Of my family from
my boyhood up We had hunted and
hshed and oourted together and ex-
changed secrets with q freedom that
does not obtain among brothers. One
day, early in my experience as a soldier,
and while everything was being hurried
with a view to getting us into Mexico,
we had been drilling till I felt ready to
drop. The repeated orders struck pain
to my cars and I would have conscien-
Mously sworn that my musket weighed
p ton. At length, when within easy ear.
shot of him, I shouted. For heavens
sake, Bob, stop this tomfoolery and let's
go over to the tavern
HE never looked at me but roared,,
Corporal, take that man and drill him
like the DEVIL
"The corporal did, and I thought I'd
die Of exhaustion. I fully meant to
challenge the drillmaster and whip him
Il he declined, but he succeeded in max
ing me understand the imperative neces-
sity Of unquestioning obedience in the
soldier. It's tough with the raw re-
pruit, but the quicker he learns his part
the better it is for all concerned DE

SERGEANT WALKERS FEAT
sas Down ON . Spanish Shell at Santiago
and Found It Hot,

Sergeant Arthur Brown Of the Ninth
Massachusetts writes thus from the
before Santiago, under date Of
July56: 1--WE arrived at the battlefield
about noon and were lined up in posi-
ton behind hill to act as reserves and
to protect the food and ammunition.
Bullets were whistling over our heads
In q perfect storm, but we were becom-
ing quite used to that sort Of thing, and,
being tired out, we lay down on the
ground and tried to keep cool. While
we were lying there a shell dropped at
the feet Of Sergeant Walker, not three
feet from him. Fortunately it did not
explode; II 1t had, the whole company
would have been wiped out.
sit gave some Of the boys such q
fright that they started to run, but Ser
geant Walker called them back, assur-
ling them that the danger was passed
and that he was going to use it for Q
seat. He walked over to it and planked
himself down, but he had no more than
touched It when he jumped about five
feet in the air and, grabbing himself by

w staid there all the afternoon,
and at night the shooting stopped, and
we all lay down to sleep and dream Of
fresh bread, lobster salad and such
things. We were suddenly awakened
by a rifle shot on the guard line, and in
an instant every man was on his feet
and armed with his rifle. A moment
later the spaniards were seen coming up
the hill on the run, with bayonets fixed.
The order was quickly given to begin
firing, and almost instantly the guns
blazed and roared from the hilltops right
into the faces Of the enemy. The Cat
ling gun then began to get in its work,
and the :Spaniards went down like grass
before q moving machine. What there
were left of them retreated, but not un-
til theyhad lost fully 500. None of our
men was hit'-New York Sun.

HOW THE CLUBS STAND.

Beauty Bishop came home yesterday
from Norfolk. and after shaking hands
with his friends went out TO Broad-Street
Baseball Park, put on a uniform, and
pitched against Paterson. The visitors
were shut out. and the credit belongs to
the tall boy who learned the art of twlrl-
ing baseball on the lots in and around
this city.
John Bishop has hundreds Of friends
here. who pulled for him while he was
with Norfolk last season and this. Those
friends are now perfectly happy. and were
out yesterday in full force to welcome
him. Manager Wells has been for seve-
raj weeks trying TO secure the services
OF the young Richmonder. and Owner

go for quite neat sum.

Umpire Tate yesterday he was greeted
with loud cheer. and after acknow-
lodging the compliment he tossed the

around the infield, and one or two in the
outfield that would have made any pitcher
feel badly, but the big fellow just kept
on doing his best. Bishop was too much
for the Jersey lads, and Jones was not
an easy mark.
Richmond commenced to score in the
third inning; base on balls and a choice
put two men on bases, and Lutenburg's
clean double against left-held fence
scored them. A couple of hits and some
clever base-running in the fourth netted
another rum and in the seventh base

ficing, single, another base on balls, and
Hargrove's beautiful triple made three
