TROOPS BOUND SOUTHWARK
Inc Twenty-Fifth Infantry Pass Through
Chicago on Their Way to
Chickamauga Park.

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE Twenty-fifth
Infantry, commanded by Col. Andrew
Burt, arrived in Chicago over the Great
Western road, and left Is minutes
later over the Chicago Il Eastern
Illinois, bound for Chickamauga. No
time was lost in carrying the troops
through the city, flying switch being
made at the Sixteenth street yards
where the tracks of the Eastern Illinois
and those of the Great Western come
in contact. The troops were not in the
city over 80 minutes from the hour of
their arrival until they pulled out for
the south. Col. Burt with his officers
occupied sleeper in the rear of the
train, portion of the regiment being
in the tourist sleepers which formed
the balance of the first section.
The first train, which arrived con-
sisted of six Pullman tourist cars, one
Pullman standard sleeper and four box
cars. The second section which ar
rived later was made up of nine Pull
man tourist cars, one sleeper and two
box cars. A third section followed
consisting of two stock cars, three box
cars, one coach and one fat car. This
section was utilized mainly for the
transportation of equipment.
From Sixteenth street to the Polk
Street station the tracks were lined
with people, who had waited since
early morning to get glimpse of the
soldiers. At the depot Col. Lee, assist
ant quartermasterge general of the de-
partment of the lakes, greeted Lieut..
Cochran and Maj. Hooton, of the col
ored troops, as representative of Gen.
Brooke, and furnished them with or
ders for supplies at Chickamauga. The
troops, most of whom have been 10
years on the western frontier, ex-
pressed themselves as delighted at
their transfer south, where many of
them enlisted.
Col. Burt, commander of the troops,
was seen. He said: Il am absolutely
without any news whatever. am
simply pushing through to Chicka-
manga park as fast as the railroads
will carry me there"
When told that the flying squadron
had been ordered to sea, and that
things were beginning to assume a
warlike aspect, he smiled but said
nothing.

CoNsUL-GENERAL FITzHUGH LEE.

CONSUL-GENERAL FITzHUGH LEE.
In response to their very pressing in
vitation the general said that he would
rather not have reception. The peo-
pie of Washington have been very kind
TO him, and he appreciated their kind
ness. He was very tired, however, and
would much prefer to rest awhile in
Washington. 1t was explained that
there would be no handshaking, ex-
cept with the ladies', and the only
speech that would be permitted would
be very brief address of Welcome by
Corporal Tanner. The old soldiers in
inc would give him the military sa-
lutte instead of shaking hands, and al
together the reception would be made
very easy for him. 1t was stated fur
Their that the citizens of Washington
were extremely anxious to meet him,
and out of Difference to their wishes,
the committee Thought the gem
eral should waive his obiec-
tions and permit them to proceed with
the arrangements. He stoutly in
sisted, however, that he needed rest,
and in addition he thought it unwise
to appear in SO public manner. To an
appeal from an old comrade that he
could afford to surrender once in his
life, especially to his friends and ad-
mirers, the general finally consented to
hold the matter in allegiance until 1880
o'clock, Thursday, when he would give
the committee his answer.
Several members of the committee
afterward expressed the opinion that
the general should not appear in this
public way, especially at this time.
His consent, it was said, might be mis-
interpreted and give rise to criticism.
1t is altogether probable that the re-
ception will not be held. During the
committees conference with Gen.
Lee, Senior Palma, the head of
the Cuban junta in New York,
and Senior Quesada, their Washington
representative, were introduced. The
general shook hands with them in a
formal way, but said nothing.
Gen. Joe Wheeler, member of con-
gress from Alabama, was among the
callers at the Shoreham. AS to his
plans for the day, Gen. Lee said that
as soon as he had breakfasted he
would go to the state, war and
navy departments, to call upon
the officials. Further than that, he
made no plans. He did not expect
to appear before any of the congress
sional committees. Gen. Lee was very
hoarse, owing to the open-air speeches
he had been compelled to make during
the last two days. Otherwise he seemed
to be in good condition.
At noon Gen. Lee visited the navy de.
partment at the invitation of the
strategy board, with whom he con-
suited

THE ST. PAUL AND ST. LOUIS
The Twin Transatlantic Liners and the
Brazilian Cruiser Nictheroy to be
Added to the Navy.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE navy de-
partment has decided to buy the Trans.
atlantic liners St. Paul and st. Louis.
The vessels at present belong to the
American line, and under the terms OF
the subsidy are at the disposal of the
government in times of emergency. The
department has also decided to purchase
the Brazilian cruiser Nictheroy, if she
proves satisfactory to a board of in.
spection which Will examine her This
cruiser rendered fine account of her
self in the Mello revolution in Brazil.
There is also under consideration the
purchase of another auxiliary cruiser
from a list of three or four whose merits
are known, the Yorktown, of the Old
Dominion line being especially well re.
garded.
1t is understood that Capt. Sigsbee,
the Names commander, will be as.
signed to command either the st. Loui
or the st. Paul, but no orders to this
effect have been issued, and no official
confirmation can be had.

OvERTURNS AN OLD BELIEF.
A Chicago Canine Is n Living Proof
That Bird Dogs Can BE
Taught to DO Tricks.

1t has long been a well established be-
lief among both hunting men and dog
trainers that bird dogs'-pointers and
setters-could not be trained to any
thing outside of the hunting field. Men
who make practice of educating dogs
for the stage have always chosen
poodles, wire-haired terriers, and grey
hounds, leaving pointers and settlers to
follow the pursuits for which nature
and the demands of sportsmen seemed
best to fit them.
Charles II. Campbell, a Chicago man,
comes forward with the assertion that
This popular belief is absolutely wrong,
and that the bird dog, particularly the
pointer. is more intelligent, more teach
able and blessed with far larger learn
ing capacity than any of the various
breeds of dogs long used for tricks and
stage exhibitions.
In proof of his statement Mr. Camp
bell offers a pointer pup-the blooded
dog. Chicago" II months of age-and
states that the pointer will do anything
any other dog can do and whole lot of
things that other dogs can't even under
take. And the pointer is there to bear
him out in his assertion.
Among the things Chicago" can do is
to stand on her head, feat which her
owner claims has never been achieved
by any other dog, and is, perhaps, i'm
possible to any dog lacking the fiat
conformation of skull peculiar to the
pointed Chicago" can also march
around a room on her forefeet. her hind
legs high in air. She can stand on her
hind legs on one chair, spring high up,
turn entirely over. and land on her
forefeet on another chair without up
setting. She can walk up ladder on
her hind feet as neatly as a man, and
she can waltz in IN upright position for
ten minutes without stopping.
One of her most remarkable feats lie
to articulate the words Mamma" and
Papa series of sharp banks so in
tonated that the two words can be
clearly distinguished. She also per-
forms all the tricks usually taught
stage dogs, such as saying prayers,
playing flame dog" and SO on through
the entire category.
Mr.. Campbell says that the dog was
taught with comparative ease, and de-
clares that the pointer breed is as far
superior TO any other kind of dog in

evening.-Chicago Tribune.

when the lungs are attacked and the

to the struggle when disease is conquered

cially. at night, and was frequently
attended with the splitting of blood. The
