MAJ.-oEN. SAMUEL B. NJ. YOUNG.

The third Major-General, Samuel b.
n. Young, is a product of the volunteer
cavalry in the civil war and Pennsyl-
vanian. He enlisted, under the hrst
call" in April, 1851, as a private SOLDIER
In the 18th Pa, which was among the
first troops to, reach Washngton' ne
served about three months in the ranks
OF the 18th, and then raised company
for the 4th Pa. Cav, in which he was
appointed Captain, September, 1901.
Most of the service of the 4th Pa. Cav.
during the first two years of the war was
In and about the Shenandoah Valley.
When the cavalry was organized in dlVl-
sions the 4th Pa. was placed in the Sec
end Brigade of Greggs Division. Young
was promoted in regular order, reaching
the rank of Lieutenant-CO Colonel early in
1854, and succeeding Col. George ID. Co
yode in command of the regiment during
the Wilderness campaign, though he did
not reach the full rank OF Colonel until
December, 1864.
Upon Early's movement against Wash
ington, in July, 1864 two of the three
cavalry divisions Cthe First, under Gen.
Wesley Merritt, and the Third, under
Gen. James II. WILSON, were detached
from the Army of the Potomac and af-
terward formed the cavalry force IN Sher-
idan's Army during the Valley campaign
of 1864 But the Second (Gregg's) Di-
vision was retained with Grants army
In front of Petersburg, and as the 4th
Pa. was in this division, Young lost the
opportunity of participating in the Val
ley campaign, which was unquestionably
more favorable to the cavalry arm Of
service than any other campaign of the
war-East or West. Gregg's Division,
indeed, saw no end of hard service dur
ing the Summer and Fall of 1864, guard
ing the left flank and rear of the main
army, disturbing the enemy's lines of
communication, etc, but had no chance to
gain any particular distinction.
In December. 1864, Young was pro-
NOTED to the Colonelcy of the 4th Pa,
and when the Army of the Potomac
started on its final campaign, at the end
of March, 1860, he was next in rank to
the brigade commander, Col. J. Irwin
Gregg. This situation enabled him, by

How to Cure GatarrIr,
A Combination of Herbs When Smoked
In Pipe Cures Catarrh of the
Head, Nose and Throat.
SAMPLES MAILED EREE
Contains No Tobacco and is Pleasant and
Easy to Use.

Some of our readers may object to any
thing that has the appearance of tobacco
smoking, but when it is matter of good
health or ill health, or possibly of life
or death, then it is not a question of how
it looks, but will it cure?" No other
method of treatment can reach or cure
Catarrh.
DIR. B0sser's Catar.h Cure contains no
tobacco, and is Il combination of specific
herbs, roots and leaves scientifically pre-
pared, which are smoked in common
clean pipe. The smoke is inhaled into
the throat and lungs, or forced into the
head and breathed out through the nos
trils. 1t will cure the worst forms of
Catarrh, Deafness, Bronchitis and Asth-
ma. 1t is SO simple and pleasant that
even q child can use it, and is not an nm
tried remedy, for it has cured thousands
of cases, many of 10, Is and GO years
standing.
In order to demonstrate its virtues n
three days trial treatment will be mailed
absolutely free to any interested sufferer,
The price of the remedy is $1.0O per box
lone months treatmen0 sent postpaid. No
charge for medical consultation by mail.

for this detachment was that in the cam
paigns from Fort Henry TO Vicksburg the
regiment had lost more than half of its
original enrolment, and its depleted ranks
had been filed up with new recruits. That
Lloyd Wheaton was no holiday soldier is
apparent from the fact that in the as
sault on Fort DOnclson his regiment lost
5i killed ard 1SS wounded out of 600
present, and shortly afterwards, at Shi-
loh, 30 killed and 106 wounded out of 40

This was the last important war service
of Wheaton's regiment. But it was by
no means the last of its sacrifices.
No sooner had the last Confederate

MAJ.-GEN. ARTHUR MACARTHUR.

The fifth and youngest of our Major
Generals is Arthur Macarthur, born in
Massachusetts about 81 years ago. He
is the eldest son and namesake Of the
late Justice Arthur Macarthur, OF the
District of Columbia Supreme Court. The
stock. as the name indicates, is of Scotch
Highland origin; the Generals father
having been perfect specimen, phyically
and intellectually, of that sturdy breed
When the present General was a small
boy the Judge removed from Massachu-
setts to Wisconsin. Soon after the out
break of the civil war young Macarthur
enlisted in the 9th Wis, but saw no field

Lieutenant and Adjutant on the compile

the State. lie was then barely - years
of age. The service of the 9th Wis. was
wholly in the Western armies; first in the
Army Of the Cumberland, afterward in
the Fourth Corps, during Shcrman's At

in the Nashville campaign that repealed
Hoods invasion of Tennessee. The first
assignment of the 9th in the Army Of
