York Wants New Depot.

YORK. Neb.. Nov. 19.-(specisl.)-The
business men are agitating the building Of
a Burlington depot at York. They urge
that the present structure is a disgrace
and that York should have a depot that is
a credit and in keeping with the city.
The present depot is not large enough for
the business done here and 1t does not
compare with some of the depots OF the
Burlington in som Of the sandhiIl towns
of Nebraska.

SOME NEW NEIGHBORS.

One morning there came to picket

station. II was so straight that man
could see n long way ahead. had a
horse fast enough to get me out of trou-

l mounted and galloped out to reconnoi-

AS 1t was about time for us to be re-
lieved I told her to go back home and
take another look and return.
A few hours after We reached camp
we were startled by the bugie blowing
boots and saddles" the most peremp-
tory alarm known In the cavalry SER
vice. AS we hurried to the stables we
heard the 'long rolf sounded In the In
fantry camp near US. by the time the
assembly" sounded. the word had gone
through camp that the outposts on every
road. on circuit Of ten or moro miles,
had been driven in or captured.
AS we rode out at trot We could see
infantry moving into the works on ev-
cry side. light batteries taking positions
behind breastworks and men at the heavy
guns I'm the forts, while toward a series
Of roads different from that which we
were approaching another cavalry regi-
ment was moving In the town we di-
vided so as TO reconnoiter three roads
To find out who and where tho enemy
was. IL did not take long TO get the de-
sired Information. A Confederate gun or
two on each road sent n shell or two 20

Of skirmshers at the gailop yielded two
or three prisoners. who told US that the
troops who had caused the alarm were
two corps Of Lees army.

for which we had gone In search. but

Within few days this sort OF duty be-
came unnecessary. The enemy relieved

building new forts. and whenever they
finished one and got heavy gun mounted

In the meantime re-enforcements and
siege guns came pouring In upon US by
rail. and some double ended gunboats
came UP the river I'm search OF rebels
and glory. They found the former with
out the least trouble and deserved n
good deal OF glory for lighting their boats
at much closer range than was common
at that day with ships engaging forts
One Conferedate artilleryman. who was
captured, said the boats came so close
that his shell fuses might have been
lighted and the shells themselves thrown
board thus saving the powder charge
OF the gun.

CHAPTER XIV.
ON PICKET.

After mature deliberation upon samples
OF all sorts OF military service that falls
20 the lot OF cavalry soldiers we recruits
agreed that picket duty suited us better
than anything else. TO be an actual pick
ct was not pleasant when ones turn of
duty came during a driving rain or In the
middle OF a dark night. but I'm ordinary
weather and at decent hours Il was quite
pleasant TO sit on horseback at crossroads
look about the country and chat with such
farmers as had passes enabling them TO
visit the town. Northern and southern
farmers were radically unlike each other
In some respects during the war. but they
were exactly alike I'm their Willingness to
rein mp and have long chat with a
stranger. i found the average Virginia
farmer had quite as large a bump OF GU
riosity as his northern brother. and gen.
orally he was able 10 absorb all the fam
lily history that a Yankee soldier might
sare to unload.
IL was great fun for me 10 be on post
on prominent road at daybreak. for the
chances were that a large detachment of
fugitive slaves would come In. How these
people managed TO travel 30 or 40 miles
without being seen and bounded back by
the enemy's scouts I never could under
stand. for instead OF coming singly they
would travel I'm large bodies. all the
men. women and children leaving plan
tation together and not separating dur
ing the trip Any one would imagine they
would be discovered, for they always
dressed I'm their best when they started
toward u.s. and the colors OF some or their
clothing were ms startling as the plumage
OF n tropical bird. besides being more va
riegated. but they never complained of
having been annoyed while en- route An.
other mystery was their knowledge as 10
where to find our lines and just where 10
halt TO wait for daylight. They were not
always received I'm the spirit OF the eman-
cipation proclamation Some Of our eman-
oDws were in mortal fear OF 'nigger
equality" so they would order the fugi-
tives 10 return to their masters.
f"Yas'r." would be the usual reply, and
the entire gang would retrace their steps
until they reached a friendly screen OF
trees. No sooner would the man on post
he changed than the crowd would come
plodding back. AS one old leader told me
one day:
""we'se ben tole ter keep a-tryin.
cause some sojer or udder would let us
IN some time or udder.''
There was nothing funny about these
colonel people unless II was their ex-
.treme gravity. They weren't even excita-
BILE They didn't throw up their hands and
thank the Lord that at last they were on
freedoms soil. They seldom laughed. and
as for joking, one could get az much re-
sponse from an oak stump as from the
brightest OF them. They apparently knew
just where TO come and just what TO ex-
pect. In fact, I afterward learned from
one OF them that for so miles around us
the slaves were thoroughly Informed
about each post and its treatment OF con.
trabands. They said there were plenty of
colored news carriers and guides-"de

MILITARY NOTES.

The question of collar and flap orna-

an order will soon be issued fom the

nothing shall be worn on the flaps but

the collar shall have no ornament other
than the insignia of the branch Of the ser
