CONQUERED THE MULES,
An 1nteresting Incident OF Grants
Career ~ Lieutenant in the
Mexican War.

Maj. J. A. Watrous, U. S. A., tells.
in Saturday Evening Post, several
good stories of Gen. Grant when he
was a lieutenant in the Mexican war.
One il the mule story. He tried q
detail Of men and many ropes, but
the mule got the better of the expert
nent. Then this happened:
''Returning, he gave orders to take
the next victim to the large rock.
1t was backed as close to the OBJ
struction as possible without actually
touching it. Half dozen men were
told to hold the brute by the head,
ears, and neck, and on no account to
let it advance from the rock. Then q
man was told to clap harness on
quickly. AS soon as the buckles be-
gan to fasten the mule became rest.
less. Pretty soon it made q sudden
lunge and succeeded in getting four
feet away from the rock, and then
the fun began It's heels cracked
against the rock savagely for a short
time. It was u new experience, and
apparently a painful one, for the bat
tered hind feet were lifted again and
again. but very gently, and only one
vt time, while it's head shook and
ears Topped. That mule was cured,
and the problem was solved. The de-

GRIN MESSAGE or DEATH.
ation Was Received ON
Shipboara. 81

In the lobby Of the Denison house
two men were discussing the effect Of
the assassination Of President Lincoln
on the closing events Of the civil war
and the reconstruction Of the south.
They finally united in the opinion that,
while his death did not materially az,
feet the closing days Of the war, the
policy OF the government would have
been different during the reconstruc.
ton period had Lincoln lived. They
agreed that the southern states would
not have been required to submit to
"carpet-baggers." s. =. s.
This conversation recalled to mind
an anecdote connected with the assas-
sination of Lincoln that probably has
never been published. Inasmuch as
the stars and stripes were hauled down
for the first time during the rebellion
at Fort Sumter, in Charleston harbor,
1t was decided to raise them first at the
same place and with much pomp and
ceremony, says the Indianapolis Press.
Tosthatend many OF the country rep
reseptatives were invited to meet at
Baltimore to be taken south on gov.
ernment vessel to participate in tho
ceremony. Arriving at Charleston, tho
flag was to be run up to the top of the
pole amid unbounded ethusiasm. This

'The first order Of consolidation left
unemployed fully 500 officers. In 1870
congress authorized the president to
discharge at his discretion, with one
years pay, such officers as might apply
therefor and increase the list of re-
tired officers. The inducement of one
year s pay without service carried all
those who had no great liking for the
service into civil life and it left on the
active list the officers whose health
and equipment and taste fitted them
for military service. With these facts

CAPTAIN MARGEDANT.
in the Federal Service Dur
Ing the Civil War.

There died recently at Hamilton, O.,
German who distinguished himself
in our civil war. Although at the time
of his death he was scarcely known
outside his own ward, he had perhaps
achieved the distinction of being ''men-
toned in the reports" oftener than any
other officer of inferior rank in the
union army. He was skillful
topographer, and as he served through
out the war, and was employed by sew.
eral generals to make plans of their
battlefields, and was uniformly praised
for his efficiency, he had an opportun-
ity to obtain very unusual number of
these honorable acknowledgements,
says Youths Companion.
Margedant was born in Prussia, and
came to this country in 1855. On the
breaking out of hostilities, six years
afterward, he raised a company of Ger
man turner's, or athletes, which did ex-
'cellent service throughout the war.
But Capt. Margedant's accomplish
ments ~ a topographer led to his as
signment to other duties than the
command of company in the field.
And his work brought him into more
danger than a post in the line would
have done. One of his mentions from
Gen. Rosecrans was for valuable serv-
ices as reconnoitering officer in the
face of storm of bullets"
Under Gen. Thomas, Margedant was
Typographical engineer on the battle.
field of Chickamauga. At one time, as
Gen. Thomas records, Capt. Margedant
went toward the confederate lines to
gain some information. He left the
Widow Glenn's house, then the field
headquarters, refusing any escort, and
at critical moment >galloped off to-
ward the enemy. Before he was aware.
he was up to the enemy's second line Of
defense. Although he had not intended
to go quite so far, he proceeded to
reconnoiter the ground thoroughly.
He then successfully returned with q
report whict was of great use in the
winning of the battle.
When his regiment was mustered
ont, Gen. Thomas ordered Capt. Marge-
,dant to remain: in the field, :''his sery..
ices being greatly needed" -.
Margedant took part in 36 battles,
beginning with Philippi, in 1861, and
ending with Atlanta, in 1864. Such
record is entitled to great honor, for
Margedant was not rendering sons
duty, to which he had been born, but
was bestowing the service of a foreign-
er who loved the country to which he
had but lately come. He has a humber
