AT a little village on the Susquehanna
river, says writer in the Piftsburg Dis
patch, I met an old soldier, who related
this incident of his experience with Gen.
Meade in the late war. I have forgotten
his name and the place where it occurr-
ed. 1t was raw night in October, the wind
was rather strong. and Meade had fixed a
stove in his tent. The soldier was the
sentry for the general. A puff of wind
knocked down the improvised stovepipe,
and soon the tent filled with smoke The
general came out and asked the sentry to
help him to rearrange it, The soldier re-
piled that he was under orders, and could
not leave his post.
Yes, yes" said Meade, that is true,
but I would like to have that stovepipe
fixed. You are right" and the general
went at the job himself.
Il kept pacing my beat" said the sol
der, land enjoyed Meade's efforts to get
the pipe back in its place. He made sor-
ry mess of, it. Finally he turned to me and
said: Sentry, you win have to help me;
l will be responsible for you, and if there
is any trouble about your leaving The beat
viii explain to the officer
In a few minutes we had the pipe In
position. Meade disappeared into the tent
without word of thanks, but he soon
came out with jug of applejack, and
asked me to take a drink. Once more l
reminded him was on duty. Yes, yes he
answered, I know; but you helped ME 10
fix the stovepipe'
He turned IN his heel and re-entered
the tent, leaving the jug outside. After a
time he came out
Did you drink he inquired, nodded.
1 knew you would; but 1 did not see
it,"

Now, then, sir. l think we have lit

man, according to the Chicago Tribune
Il know what you mean. Say, look
here! You and 1 are counting the same

other. That's the trouble, isn't it?"
That's it, and we don't need to waste

You couldn't marry the girl. Even if you
escaped hanging it wouldn't do you any
good. She would never look al you again.
Suppose l kill you, I couldn't marry her
either. But you wouldn't get much sat

a position to do any Growing. Suppose
we Kill each other. If the girl cares for
either of Us, it would break her heart So
what's the good of fighting? Why not ar

'Arbitrate it?"
Yes. It's a toss-up, anyhow. One of
US stands as good a show as the other,
and it wouldn't muss things up as fight

sAvANNAHs WINTER PROSPECTS

SANANNAh'S WINTER PROSPECTS.
The prospects for a very lively winter in
Savannah are good. There ought to be
plenty of business for our merchants and
hotel keepers. There will be soldiers here
from time to time on their way to Cuba.
They will leave some money while
they are waiting for transports Then the
troop ships win be coming and going all
the time from and to Cuba and Porto
Rico. They win need supplies. They
will, In all probability, be very good Gus
toners of our merchants. The hospital for
soldiers will be a big affair It will at
tract visitors TO the city. Relatives OF
many of the invalid soldiers will want to
be near them, and, knowing that Savan-
nah has a delightful winter climate, they
win make visit here No doubt many OF
them will spend the greater part of the
winter In the city.
The Georgia and Alabama terminal i'm
provement win afford work for many la
borers. That improvement will be begun
it is thought, within a very few weeks
And then 1.-THE house drainage i'm
provement will be taken up again and
have chance to complain this winter that
they can get no work 10 do From the
present outlook the demand for labor will
be fully as great as the supply.
These things which we have mentioned
are all outside of the ordinary business and
labor demands of the city. The usual
sources of employment will be as great as
ever and the chances are that there will be
no falling off in the volume of ordinary
business. II is true of course. that the cot
ton crop in Savannahs immediate terri
tory has been greatly hurt by drought and
storms, and the rice crop is almost total
loss, but Notwithstanding these drawbacks
Savannah stands an excellent chance o:
having one of the most prosperous winter
seasons in her history.

Carter, 1t is said, will probably reach
the President this week. The case has
never been in Gen. Miles hands. The
Washington correspondent of the Philadei-
phia Press learns that Secretary Alger will
probably recommend TO the President that
the sentence of the court be mitigated.
though the Judge Advocate General is not
in favor Of a mitigation. There is a belief
in Washington that civil proceedings will
shortly be instituted against Capt. Carter
and those alleged to have been associated
with him

THE BOSSES FIGHTING EACH
OTHER
EACH

OTHER.
The trouble with the Republican party
of Pennsylvania Is that it has been in pow
er too long and has too little opposition
The bosses of the party are fighting among
themselves, and if what they say of each
other is correct they do not hesitate to re-
sort to very disreputable means to accom-
plish the objects they have in view A day
or two ago our dispatches announced that
Senator Quay had been arrested on the
charge of having assisted TO wreck
the Peoples Bank of Philadelphia. In
our dispatches yesterday it was stated
that after a preliminary hearing of the
charge he had been held to answer be-
fore a higher court.
1t may be as he says, that the charge
against him amounts to nothing more
than an attempt of his political enemies
in his own party to ruin him politically
He and his friends evidently think that
Mr. Wanamaker is the chief mover in the
prosecution which has been Instituted
against him. Anyway, Senator Penrose
the colleague of Senator Quay, has made
a bitter attack on Mr.. Wanamaker In
a speech on Tuesday last he charged that
Mr.. Wanamaker offered Quay and other
leaders of the party S250,000 il they would
have him elected senator at the time of
the last sena torial election. Senator Pen
rose said that Quay refused the bribe-
that he did not give 1t even a second
thought, Notwithstanding the fact that
Wanamaker was willing to agree that If
elected senator he would permit Quay to
distribute all the federal patronage of the
state Penrose further charged that when
Wanamaker found that he could not get
the senatorship from his own party he
tried to get it by forming a combination
of Independents and Democrats, promis-
ing large sums OF money to accomplish
his object He did not succeed any bet
ter with the Independents and Democrats
than he did with his own party.
This washing of dirty linen in public by
the Pennsylvania Republicans shows
that the Republican party of that
state is thoroughly corrupt. That
party has been in Office so long
in that state that it has become
rotten. II is rather surprising that the
people don't turn il out of power. The
Democratic candidate for Governor In
Pennsylvania this year Is a man of sterl-
ing integrity. If the people were to elect
him they would have honest government.
They ought to rise up in their might and
smash the Quay machine. As long as
that machine exists it is about certain that
the Keystone State will be controlled by
a lot of constituencies politicians.

A child is born-it gasps and cries,
And clasps Its wee fists to its eyes;

And sleeps, a stranger unto care,
While she that smiles DER joys, new
found
Prays for him ere
He needs her prayer.
A hundred childish ills he worries through.

thread;
Fle falls when there is nothing else to do.
From some high perch and strikes upon
bis head
All, who shall say God keeps him not n
sight,
Nor hears the prayers she offers up at
night?
Behold him bending DER his book;
Think on the patience and the care,
The planning and the toll it took
To place him there!
Toll and hope and despair,
Grieving and doubling and joy;
Days that We're dark and days that were
fair
For those who love the boy;
Years that have YEARLY dragged.
Years that have joyously passed,
Hopes that have flown and griefs that
have Jagged
To make him a man, at last.
Hark to the summons that comes!
Hear the merciless roll of the drums!
The man for whom plans were made,
He for whom schemes were laid
Must brush them aside, for somewhere
Somebody has wronged some one
Lei the banners wave high i'm the air
There is soul-strring work to be done!
Down through the valley and over the
slope,
A regiment sweeps to the frayi
What of the prayers, the toll, the hope,
And the lofty plans of yesterday?
An angry shot,
A crimson clot,
And the smiles and tears
OF twenty years
End in a lump of lifeless clay
