Hovey performs all the duties relating to the manifold functions of his department. He Is commander of a department Including all the Alaskan ter rltory between Skigwav mt Ketehlkdn. tle Is commander of Fort SklRway, quar- termaSter eommlssary and a dozen other things required by military routine. The manual ef arms and the field maneuver of troops are but circumstances to the pre- requisites of post commander who must tread his way through the mszes or multi fIrioIs duties and always know where he Is at. lfLeut. RaineS suggests that new issue of gloves Is required for the company. as captain of the company, Capt. Hovev takes the matter under advisement and writes requiSiton on himself as post quartermlster Then the Captain, as quaTteimas,er, sends himself as Depart ment Commander the equSIllon duly endorsed by himself as captain and quar- termsSter separately alo. respectively. as department .Ommauu-r ana IUtwdI Is fv to the Division QuaTtermaster. Military courtesy requires the Captain to write himself a polite acknowledgement ot tho receipt Of the requlsitiJn, each time he transmits it to himself from his one eapa- citv to his other, promising himself each time that he will use his utmost endeavors with himself to obtain for himself the promp, filling of tho reQuStion. Should Capt. Hovey, however, get hold Of the wrong blank and draw this requisition on himself as commisSary he would finally then, as department commander, eurtlv notify himself Gin punctllious military languagel that he was of his base and should have sent the requisltIon 10 himself as Quarterm Ster. The Captain would then be obliged to apologize to himself as 1 department commander, by himself, as commander, and notify himself that the blame rested on himself as commlssarv and that he would promptly call himself down and report the result To figure out the number of documents necessary to straighten out such a deporable mistake would be as dazine as paraphraslng "Homeward the llbOrer weniS his weary way"

Howard Mason, who Is on his way to porcupine. came down on the Inst mail steamer from Dutch Harbor.
 Relative to the loss of the whaler Fear less, at Dutch Harbor, on December I, MT. Mason says that tEe revenue cutters were off their beat, and that though they had orders not to leave the sea before the whaler's had gone south the orders were dIsobeyed and there was no cutter at hand to rescue the distressed ship. Capt. Me Kenna, of the Fearless, sent his twenty seven men below on the Discovery.

A MEMORY OF THE WAR.
How the Surgeon brought General
Ben Butler to His Way of
Doing Things.

We knocked the ashes out Of our
Pipes and refiiled them before a gem
tie hint from the colonel brought
from DR.. Rush the remark, writes II.
j. Cleveland, in Chicago Record-Her-
aid:
81 don't suppose have ever told you
The story of the question i once sent
to Ben Butler? ! asked Benz
"1s is proposed that hospital shall
be halfway ground between a bat
tlefield and a graveyard"
THE occasion for this interrogatory
brings to mind the manner in which
a prisoner of war manifested his graft
tude to the representatives. of those
who had conquered. The story goes
to show that man is man always
when he is born right, and that pris-
oners are not always as murderous as
those that escaped from the military
prison at Fort Leavenworth.

NOT ON THE FOURTH.
A Michigan Soldier Who Would Not
Surrender on Indcpcn-
dcnce Day.

Gen. Duke, of Louisville, who was
at one time fighting for the south. was
accosted by an old confederate, one of
Morgan's men, who told this story,
says the Detroit Free Press: ".Iuly
we met at Green River a weh en-
trenched federal force under Col.
Moore, then of Michigan, who. after
the war, lived in Louisville. An i'm
perative demand for his surrender was
made, and bets were offered that he
would not fight. Col. Moore respond
ed in a most courteous note. He said
that if ever he had to surrender he
would prefer above all things to sur
render to so distinguished soldier as
Gen. Morgan, but that no union
soldier could think of surrendering
even to so famous command on the
Fourth of July. IF you had reached
here on the Sd my answer might have
been different. If | can possibly de-
tain you until the 5th of July without
interfering with other arrangements
for your journey, l might consent to
parley, but surrender on the Fourth
of July is out of the question: AS we
had imperative engagements else
where, we could not defer to this very
courteous gentleman, and we deter
mined to attack, infiicting a loss of
eight killed and 30 wounded on the
enemy, but we were repulsed with
loss of 100 killed and wounded, and
among the killed was poor Chenault,
a brave soldier, who bet companion
n bottle of whisky that the place
would surrender without firing gum"
