bin awful anxious for you to come and take
us to onr regiment. We want to begin to be
real soldiers"
Well, my boy" said 81, with as much
patern?lism as if he had been a grandfather,
you must begin right now, by actin like
real soldier. First, you mustn't call me
Mister. Mustn't call nobody Mister in the
army. My names Sergeant Klegg. This
other man is Corporal Elliott. You must
always call US by those names When you
speak to either of US yon must take the
position OF a soldier-stand up straight, put
your heels together, turn your toes out, and
salute, this way"
.'Is this right" asked the boy, carefully
initiating 81.
- Yes, that's purity near right-very good
for first attempt. Now, when | speak to you,
you saloot and answer me. What is your
name?"
Henry JOslyn, sir"
"Well, Henry, you are now Private
Joslyn, of the 2OOth Injianny Volunteer
Infantry. I can't tell what company you'll
belong to till we git to the rigimint but Pll
try to have you in Co. Q, my company"
But when are we going to get our guns
and knapsacks and things, and start for the
regiment2" persisted the eager boy, and
the Others joined in the impatient inquiry.
You won't git your guns and accourter-
ments till You git to the rigimint As soon's
kin 60 over this roll and identify each ons
o. you, I'll see what the orders is for start
ing"
''There goes some men for the ferry now.
Why cam we go with them?" persisted the
boys.
Private Joslyn," said 81, with soms
official sternness, "the first thing soldiers
got to learn is to keep quiet, and wait for
orders. You underestimate"
Pears to me that there's lot O. first
things to learn" grumbled the boy to the
others. land it's nothin' but wait, wait for
ever. The army'll 60 off and leave US, if we
don't get down there purity soon."
Don't worry, my boy, about the army
goin' off and leavin' you," said Shorty in
kindly way. It'll wait. 1t kin be depended
on for that. Besides, it's got to wait for me
and Sargint Klegg."
'That's So Didn't think o. that"
chorused the boys, to whose eyes the two
veterans seemed rs important as Gen. Grant
or Thomas
" That's purity light material for serious
hizniss, Pm afeared," said Shorty to 81, as
they stood little apart for a moment and
surveyed the coltish boys, frisking around in
their new blOuses and pantaloOns, which
fitted about like the traditional shirt on
bean-pole
II think they're just splendid" said 81,
enthusiastically. They'll fill in the holes
o the old rigimint in great shape. They're
as tough as little wildcats; they'll obey orders
and 90 wherever you send 'em, and four out
O. every five o. them kin knock over a crow
at hundred yards with squirrel rifle.
But, Shorty" he added with sudden as
sumption of parental dignity, "me and you's
got to be fathers to them. We've got great
responsibility for them. We must do the
very best We kin by 'em."
That's so," said Shorty, catching at once

The Boys Take Charge OF n New Squad of
Recruits.

When the boys came to breakfast the next
morning. they found Maria with the holly
hook etfulgencc of garb of the day before
changed to the usual prim simplicity of her
honse-dress. This meant admiration strik-
ing Shorty still dumber He was in that
state of mind when every change in the
young woman 5 appearance seemed marvel
ous transformation. and made her more
captivating than before. He had thought
her queeniy dazzling in her highly-colorcd
gO-tO-meeting plumage of the day be
fore. She was now simply overpOwering
in her plain, close-fitting calico, that out
lined her superb bust ard curves, with her
hair combcd smoothly back from her bright,
animated face. Shorty dcvourel her with
his eyes-that is, when she was not looking
IN his direction. He would rather watch
her than eat his breakfast. but when her
glance turned toward him he would drop his
eyes to his plate. This became plain to
everybody, even Maria, but did not prevent
her beginning to tease.
WHATS the matter with you? Where's
your appetite ?'' asked she You're clean
of your feed. You must be in love Nothin
else'd make a man go back on these slap
jacks, that Cousin Martly made with her own
hands, and she kin beat the County on slap
jacks MIebbe you're thinkin' o. your Bad
Ak girl, and her widower. Perk up. He may
fall often a saw-log and git drowned, and
yOu git her yit. Never kin tell. Lies
mighty uncertain. especially around saw
mills When marry man he's got to give
bonds not to have anything to do, in no way
or shape, with saw mills. | don't want to
be n widder, or to take care o half man
for the rest o. my days. You've got a chance
to git your girl yit. Mebbe she'll git tired o
him after he's bin run through the mill two
or three times, and there's more o. him in
the graveyard than there is walkin' to
church with her. Cheer up"
Shorty tried to disprove the charge as TO
the subject of his thoughts, by falling to
furiOusly, and with such precipitation that
he split his coffee overset the molasses-cruet,
and then collapsed in dismay at his clumsi-
ness.
Maria did not go free herself The other
girls had not been blind to Shorty's con-
dition of mind, and rather suspected that
Maria was not wholly indifferent to him.

IN THE PHILIPPINES.

After scattering all opposition before
him, Gen. Lawton has retired again to
Manila. This news had disturbing
effect on the country, but unnecessarily.
Gen. Lawton only took 10 days rations
with him, and had to 90 back to get
more. His retirement after series of
successes, shows that he felt that he had
accomplished the object of his move
ment He is reported as saying that it
would require 100000 men to hold the
country, but it is not believed that he
said this, and the best proof is that Gen
Otis has not asked for any more men.
1t is believed that the backbone of the
rebellion has been broken, and that for
the future all that will have to be done
will be to hunt down and destroy oc-
casional bands that attempt to 60 into
the banditti business. Gen. Woods re-
cent energetic work in Cuba shows how
quick, sharp and effective this will be
made. A gigantic negro, who had been
terror to the country, set himself up as
bandit chief. His name is Prudencia
Breal, but he was picknamed Trocon
(the Big Stump, and he claimed record
of 103 Spaniards and seven Ameri-
cans killed by his own hand. Under
the Spanish regime he would have had
long career of crime. But, unluckily
for himself, he and his gang killed an
American teamster-a German named
Gottschalk-near Santiago. Maj. Dun
can B. Harrison, of the 9th Immunes,
and seven men, started to hunt him
down. Maj. Duncan is himself tall,
powerful man, and when, after a ride
of 70 miles, he succeeded in bringing
the negro and his band to bay, he and
the negro had it out, hand-to-hand.
Maj. Harrison downed the negro, and
captured him. Two Of the band we're
killed, three wounded, and the rest
captured. This makes eight bandits
killed and 80 bandits in prison in Gen.
Woods department in one week, with
the loss of only one soldier killed. But
one band still exists, and the soldiers
are after it.

UNREGONCILED TEXANS.

Our Blue and Gray enthusiasts
should send: missionaries to Texas at
once, and particularly direct their
prayers and labors to the Texas Legisla-
ture. Representative Grogan has in
troduced a bill to disfranchise all
citizens who. may be in receipt of a
Federal pension. Though the Con-
stitutional Amendment Committee, to
which it was referred, has reported
adversely, there is a strong minority re-
port from the Committee in favor of its
adoption. This is a pleasant reply to
the Presidents proposition about the
rebel graves. Mr.. Grogan is evidently
trying to hit at the Union veterans,
who are thronging into Texas in con-
siderable numbers, and do not prove as
amenatle to the rule of the ring poll
ticians as he would wish. But he for
gets what hard blow he would strike
at the Texans who are receiving PEN
sions for services in the Mexican War.
Texas gets about the biggest slice of
any of the States from the Mexican
pensions. She had S,01S men enlisted
for the Mexican War, of whom AZ
were killed, four died of wounds and 30
were wounded. There are now residing
in Texas S,155 pensioners to whom the
Government pays annually S1,O76,-
656.S2 for services in the Mexican and
Indian Wars and that of the rebellion.
This amount comes very welcome to the
business men of the State, and helps
immensely to keep money in circula-
ton.

THE Commissioner Of Pensions has
made rule that all allowances of s12
a month or more, and all conveying any
considerable amount of arrears, shall be
referred to him for personal examina-
ton. Daily the Commissioners pleasant
opinion increases of his own great
superiority in acumen and uprightness
to all Others, even to that of the little
ring which be inherited from Lochren,
and which surrounds and generally con-
trolls him. Gen. Grant tells q good
story of Gen. Bragg, who, when Cap
tain, suspected and quarreled with every
officer around him, and at last quarreled
with himself But there is no fear that
Mr.. Evans will ever suspect himself.
He will always be unit ss to bis own

TIE way that the japanese have
come to tie front in civilization is a
constant astonishment. They have
adopted practice in Formosa that may
be copied by our people in the newly
acquired islands. Many of the villages
in Formosa are as hopelessly filthy as
those in Cuba and the Philippines.
The japanese select another site, lay it
out with due regard to sanitation, and
compel the people to move to it, burn
ing the old town.

Gen. HENRY is starting upon pol
icy which will become the rule in our
new possessions as fast as the fit time
comes. He is recruiting a regiment of
Porto Ricans, with the natives filling
the ranks and non-commissioncd offices.
He will have no difficulty in filling up the
regiment with first-class material, for the
pay, clothing, and food of an American
soldier are princely inducements to an
average Porto Rican, as they will be to
Cubans and Filipinos. Where men
have been in the habit of thinking 25
cents a day in silver good wages they
will regard s13 a month in gold, with
abundance of clothing, and more food
than they can eat, as a munifcent salary.
AS soon as our officers get better ac-
quainted with the Filipinos they can
have all the good men they need to
garrison the islands, for there ere plenty
Of Tagals ready to fight the Aguinaldo
crowd, and all the other tribes hate the
Tagals. We shall do as the English do
in Hindustan-use one tribe to fight
another. The main difficulty now is
that our officers and the various tribes
are not well enough acquainted to trust
one another.
