The Boston Transcript says: "a d.
verting anecdote is told of the boyhood
of Mr.. Whistler, the greatest modern
impressionist. He was apprenticsd to
some engineers who were etching elab-
crate maps on copper. One da.T his
employer asked him II he also could
etch maps on copper. oh, yes. I can
etch-. promptly answered young 'Whis-
tier.
Gas a matter Of fact he had never
used an eeching needle In his life.
However, they gave him the copper,
and he set to work, making very fine
and beautiful map. But round the
edges Of the plate, which when bitten
in with acid are always stopped out, he
etched some characteristic little sketch
es Of the different members OF the
irm, including very humorous one Of
the chief himself.
Shortly after he happened to 90
away for a week or two for his holi-
day. Meantime the plate had been
bitten in and printed with all Of the
dreadful little caricatures that he had
forgotten to stop out appearing in star
tling prominence. the sketch Of the
chief being especially remarkable be-
cause of its great resemblance to that
gentleman, who was SO enraged at the
indignity OF the thing that Immediately
on Whistler's return he dismissed
him."

Obituary.

New York, in 1885, and at the time Of h,s death was about 65 years of age. Alan early age deceased went west, and at the outbreak of the Mormon war in Utah, in 1855, he enlisted in the T,nth United States regulars, and served under General Albert Sidney Jobnson in that campaign, after which he served with his command in New Mexico and California, and was wonnded with an arrow in fight with Indians His term of enlistment ex- hiring in 1861, he returned to Indiana 10 engage in business, but the out hreak of the civil war called him at once to arms. He rendered his ser vices to Governor Oliver P. Morton, the great war governor of Indiana, vho commissioned him captain in the Tgenty-tirst Indiana Volunteer Infantry regiment, which command he assisted in organizing, and with which he went to the field as cap tain of A company. In the rank aud ile of his company Captain Roy number ed DO less than seven neDhews, all Of the same name. In 1882 he was pro- m ted to the rank of major, and iD 1863 the arm of the service to which his regi ment was assigned was changed aud the command was there after designated as the Fi'st Indiana Heavy Arti leIy regiment. In the same year Colonel Roy was promoted to the rank or lieutenant colonel, and while holding that rank was in con- mand of the regiment at the siege Of Port Hudson and in Banks disastrous Red River campain. In the assault upon Port Hudson, on June Fist. 1865. Colonel Roy's regiment suffered severe ly, aud both the regiment and it's com- mauder were commended in general orders aud dispatches for bravery and gallantry. Colonel Roy was afterward brevetted brigadier general "for brave and meritorious services at the siege of and assault upon Port Hudson and in tue Red River campaign The fact that he had won the generals star and was entitled to wear it was not generally known. It became known to the writer only incidentally, when making up Colonel Roy's appi- OatiOn for admission ibto the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States, with which 0rganiza- tion deceased ideDtifed himself some i've years ago.
 After the civil war Colonel Roy set. tied at New Orleans, Louisiana, where he resided many years, and was very prominent in business and political life. He represented Louisiana as a delegate in several national republi- can conventions, was superintendent or streets and port warden, in charge of the wharf and dock system, ard was department commander in the urand Army Of the Republic.
 In April, 1865, Colonel Roy married Miss Juliet Holmes at Baton Range, Louisiana. Hts wife died July 13, 'lSS3, and he never married again.
 Some fifteen years ago Colonel Roy settled in El Paso and was in business there and in New Mexico and Chihua- hua several years. About twelve years ago he came to Nogales, and with Mir. I1tcomb founded the firm of Roy x iitcomb, which is now known far and Wide as the leading business house in Nogales. He was prominently identi- ned with every movement for the ad- Vancement of Nogales, and for his military services received recognition
