Army Shoes.

"When 1 was in the army, in the
civil war;" said an old soldier, Eve used
to call our shoes gunboats. l never
exactly understood why shoes should
be described in that manner, but that's
what we used to call them generally,
describing them sometimes, however,
as mudscows. Wait till get on my
mudscows, was not unusual remark,
but gunboat was the term more COM
monty used.
"And now get letter from young
friend who has enlisted in the present
war of the United States with Spain.
He writes me that he has drawn pair
of shoes which he has named one the
Indiana and the other the Oregon.
You see the disposition to call army
shoes by naval designation seems to be
inherent and to crop out on occasion.
Whether it is because the shoes are 80
great in size, or so big and clumsy or
big and heavy, l don't know, but GER
certainly there seems to be an inclina-
ton on the part of the army soldier to
call his shoes fondly by navy titles.

How General Wheeler Unmasked 1t.

AT the battle of New Hope Church,
between Atlanta and Chickamauga,
Walker sent Major William H. Ross,
who was on his staff, to ascertain from
General Wheeler, who occupied an ad-
vance position, what was in front.
He found the general on his horse,
with one leg over the pommel of the
saddle. Saluting him, Major Ross said:
general Walker intends to make a
charge at this point, and would like to
know if the enemy has masked bat
terry in front of u.s."
81 don't know, major" General
Wheeler replied, "but can soon find
out" and, swinging into position in his
saddle, he galloped up to slight emil
nence, accompanied by Major Ross and
his staff, and planted guidon. A mo-
ment later a puff of smoke in the dis
lance, and the sputtering of the shell
as it flew over them showed what was
ahead.
Turning to Major Ross, the general
said: "Give General Walker my COM
pliments, and say there is masked
battery in front of u.s."
Major Ross ventured the remark that
it was risky way of unmasking bat
terry.
1.-THE first shots always fly high" was
the cool reply. "It's the shots that
follow that are dangerous"
"When 1 returned and reported to
General Walker" said the major, 81
requested him to send some one else
next time he wished batteries unmasked

Buttons on Soldiers Clothes.

There is meaning in every button
displayed on the coats of army and
navy men. An officers rank may be
determined by the device on the but
ton as we'll as by the number he wears.
The large buttons are seven.eights of
an inch in interior diameter, and the
small ones nine-sixteenths. They are
of yellow metal, fire gilt, and burnish-
ed. The general officers and the Off
GERS of the general staff wear gilt but
ton, very convex, with the spread eagle
and stars and plain border. For Of
ficers OF the corps of engineers the but
ton is different, being only slightly
convex, with raised, bright rim, one
and one-thirteenth inches wide. Its
devices are an eagle holding in his beak
scroll with the word Essayons Let
us try), bastion with embrssures in the
distance surrounded by water, and a
rising sun. These devices are of dead
gold upon bright field.
For officers of the ordnance depart
ment the buttons are gilt, convex, with
plain border, and their device con-
sists of two crossed cannon and bomb
shell, with circular scroll over and
across the cannon, containing the
words, "Ordnance Corps" Signal
corps officers have convex gilt buttons,
with plain border and the device of two
crossed signal flags with burning
torch between them. For artillery, in
fantry and cavalry the button is gilt,
convex, with the device of spread
eagle with shield on its breast which
contains the letters A. 1. or G. The
aides-de-camp may wear the button of
the general staff or the one of their
own regiment or corps, as they please.
The cavalry has button with two
sabres crossed, their edges upright; the
infantry, two rifles, without bayonets,
crossed, their barrels upwards; the ar
tillery, two cannon crossed; the post
quartermaster sergeant, key and quill
pen crossed; the hospital corps, large
cross; the engineers corps, two signal
flags, crossed with burning torch; the
ordnance, shell in flames, and the
commissary sergeant, crescent.
The navy button is just as import
ant, but not 30 varied as the army but
ton. 1t is gilt, convex, and of three
sizes in exterior diameter. The large
size is seven-eighths of an inch, the
medium seven-tenths of an inch, and
the small size e-sixteenths of an
inch. Each size bears the same de-
vice, that of large eagle holding an
anchor and surrounded by thirteen
stars in honor of the thirteen States.-

ences on his trip to Berlin, and said
that from the moment he had been
told of the Kings intention he had
bent all his thoughts and energies to

the Kings gracious offer he had be-

"Then start" was the command.
The interview was over.
A few weeks later Frau Bismarck
received long letter from her hus-
band, asking her to pack up and invit-
ing her to join him for an indefinite
stay at Frankfort.
There is story told among the
peasantry of Schleswig, the former
Danish province annexed after the war
in 1864, of how Prince Bismarck was
COMPOUNDED by the tongue of shep.
herd lad. Shortly after the close Of
the war Prince Bismarck went on an
inspection tour through the provinces,
as he desired to study the feelings and
sentiments among the people. He
talked with the peasants, getting valu-
able though not always agreeable in
formation. For days he was annoyed
by constantly hearing dogs called "Bis-
marck." Desiring to know what it
meant, he called out in gruff voice to
shepherd boy who had uttered the
dreaded Chancellor's name in connec-
ton with his dog:
care all dogs in this country named
Bismarck"
"Ach nein, nlein Herr" the urchin re-
piled as he dotted his cap, "es ist bloss
die schwein-hunde.' (Oh, no sir; it is
only the pig-dogs. )-New York Sun.

POLITICAL.
Comments Of London Papers.

The Standard commenting on the
singing of the protocol by the repre-.
sentatives of Spain and the United
States says: "Thus ends one OF the
most swiftly decisive wars in history,
Spanish rule disappears from the west.
The conquerors have problems of great
difficulty before them. Doubtless they
will face them with patriotic resolu-
ton"
The DAILY Ne,Ds says: "August 10,
1898, will be memorable day in the
history of the world. 1t is the day
which witnessed the death of one
famous empire and the birth of an
other, destined perhaps to more en-
during fame. 1t must be admitted
that the results achieved are substan-
tisl record for four months of war;"
The Daily Telegraph is impressed by
the Indifference of the bulk OF the
Spanish nation to the sentiment OF
national pride which seems to be ex-
tinct. For this reason national life, in
the true sense of the word, must sooner
or later cease to exist. The paper dis
cusses the decadence of Spain in
connection with the contention that
France and Italy have become station
airy, and predicts the ultimate disappear
ance of the Latin race as factor in
the human drama.
The Chronicle says that the Ameri-
can people will never regret the sacri-
fees they have made to remove the
Spanish colonies from the map. 1t
adds that many more difficulties and
sacrifices await them, but the result
will be the growth of freedom and the
extension of human happiness and
prosperity.
The Times says it hopes it is not a
violation of neutrality to express the
satisfaction felt by great majority of
Englishmen at the success of the United
States. 1t adds: "Historians will
wrangle for long time respecting the
propriety of the methods by which the
war was brought about, but once begun
it was eminently desirable for the inter-
ests of the world, and even, perhaps,
ultimately to the interest of Spain her.
self, that it should result in the success
of the Americans. The factor in the
situation which is of the greatest imme-
date Importance to ourselves is the fate
of the Philippines"

The CarOlines.

In the press dispatches outlining the
terms laid down by the President as q
basis for peace negotiations, no men,
ton has been made of the Caroline
Islands, though the cession of an
island in the Ladrone group is required.
This omission seems to require expla-
nation. 1t was announced weeks ago
that the Monterey, on her voyage to
Manila, was expected to take possess
sion of the Carolines, from one of which,
