MONTREAL was snow bound for several
days last week. Since December 1872 inches
Of snow have fallen there, and at last re-
ports it was still showing. The steam and
electric railroads suffered severely and all
kinds of traffic were paralyzed.
Four lives were lost last Wednesday in
an avalanche near Quebec. Two houses
which had been built at the foot OF a steep
cliff, were destroyed by the fall OF snow and
debris, and four of the inmates persisted.
The avalanche occurred without minutes
warning and the occupants Of the houses
had no opportunity to escape.

ARMY OF OCCUPATION.
Arrangements are Made for Sending Troops
to Cuba for Garrison Duty.

Washington, Oct. S.-The war de-
partment has completed its plans for
the departure of the second expedi-
tion of troops to garrison Cuba. The
first division is already under orders
and should be started within very
few days from southern ports near
their camping grounds. The first di-
vision starts under command of Brig.
Gen. Carpenter, who commands the
cavalry brigade composed of the Sew
enth and Eighth United States cav
airy. 1t is the intention of the war
department that Maj. Gen. Wade, now
president of the military evacuation
commission, shall command the entire
force of United States troops assigned
to duty in Cuba, but he will scarcely
take active command until he has
completed his duties with the commits
sio.
The second division will comprise
all the troops now under the COM
mand of Maj. Gen. Fltzhugh Lee.
These troops are stationed at Jackson
vile, Fla, and the force comprises the
following regiments-all volunteer
troops:
The Second, Fourth and Ninth Hi.
nois infantry, One Hundred and Sixty
first Indiana infantry, Second Louis.
lana infantry, Sixth Missouri infantry,
Third Nebraska infantry Organs reg

airy. The general orders which will
be issued to this division are to begin
the movement the last of this month
or as soon thereafter as practicable.

He had won his spurs in the Mexican

time we did not know where he stood
ON the proposition to separate the
country. But as he was noted for his
reticence, we did not think it strange
and concluded that he was with US.
His Office was on the shady side of the
street, and the first summer of the war
found row of tilted chairs, filled with
whittlers cussin' the government, in
front of his Office. Occasionally we
would spring constitutional point,
and if we disagreed we left it to Col.

AS IT WAS IN '6s.
A March of 800 Miles Before the Lux

ObtaInabIe.

There are thousands of old soldiers
left who remember how, after four
years of fighting and marching un-
precedented in the worlds history,
they rejoiced when they had the priv
ilege of coming home in and ON box
cars. When johnson surrendered and
the war closed, Sherman's army, which
was composed of men from the west,
and in which were many Illinois regi-
ments, were southwest of Raleigh in
the interior of North Carolina. Were
there Pullman cars to transport them
home? No. We're there even passen-
ger cars of the most dilapidated sort?
No! Not even these. But the box
cars were clean and nice, the sympa-
thetic ones will suggest. Maybe they
were, but they were not there to take

terrible Cuban fever attacked him ear
ly upon his arrival at Santiago and
that he was brought to bed with it, he
insisted upon going to the front. The
surgeons reluctantly carried him for

sound Of battle became too much for
him; he arose from the ambulance and
was carried upon Litter straight to
the front, where he could direct the
operations of his command. By noon
he had established headquarters at the
extreme front and center Of the line.--

cattle are likely to be soon admitted
into Cuba free of duty. The question
is now receiving consideration by the
officials and it is probable that the
present tariff will be so modified as to
afford temporary relief to the Cuban
people. The great mass of the rural
population of the island is in distress,
not only for want of food but for work
cattle with which to till the soil. The
planting season is now at hand and as

the men home. Their route lay nearly
300 miles north to Washington, and
every foot of that, through rain and
alternate blistering heat and chill,
they marched, fOotsore, though they
were from winter campaign of moro
than 600 miles of march and battle,
1t was a joy when they left Washing
ton that they could get box cars to
ride in and on-for all could not get
in. With this sort of transportation
they rode to the Ohio river; then
crowded on hurricane and boiler decks
of freightboats they lay down at night
with no covering but the stars.
Arrived at Louisville, KY, where the
veterans were mobilized, they put up
their frayed and worn dog tents in
open fields under the burning sun,
when it shone; in the drenching rain
when it fell. There was no extra ac-
commodation for the sick, even though
the war was over. Indeed, the writer
of this knows as fact that his regi-
ment was without even it's regimental
surgeons, those officers having been
left behind with the sick and wounded
at Goldsboro and Washington, and the
men had to 60 to the surgeon of an
Ohio regiment for their "quinine."
When at last, after weeks and weeks
of waiting through the hot month Of
June and into July, the regiment was
mustered out, the men were again
loaded on box cars and transported up
through Indiana and across Illinois to
the vicinity of Springfield, where they
went into bivouac in the hazel "ruffs''
and underbrush some ten days, get
ting final pay and discharge. And
from this point they went to their vari-
GUS homes in the distant parts of the
state, and some to other states, each
paying his own fare and for what he
ate along the way.-Macomb Wl.)
