OFFICE SEEKING.

I went a-ofiice seekin'. 1 had alters thought
Till then
That / was one o. these general average
sort of men.
Hut my friends they took the matter up
They showed me as prize
felt jes' like an angel that had wandered
from the skies.
An then the other feliers got to work; an
! turned pale,
Expectin any minute to be carried Off to
Jail.
Inever broke the law, nor captured no dis
honest pelf
But ies' the same they made me right sus-
picious of myself.
Inever was no dandy; but on lookin' in the
glass
Jes' after Mandy cut my hair / kind o.
thought I'd pass
But when my managers got out my cam
paign p!ctures-well,
You couldn't tell the difference tween me
and Beau Brum-
But when the opposition took a-hold they
made me look
Like some fierce combination of hay
seed an crook.
One day I'm so conceited that my manners
Is frost,
An the next day I'm as humble as yaller
dog that's lost.

ed and get to sea first. Everybody
knows how the union vessel was fin
ished, went down the coast and was
in Hampton roads when the Merri-
mac came out.
II will never forget the day of the
battle. 1t was an exciting time in
New Haven, for we had kind of
local pride in the Monitor, on ac-
count of Mr.. Bushnell's connection
with her construction. All day long
crowds clustered around the tele-
graph Office, receiving bulletins of
the fight.
''Mr. Bushnell and I were there,
too, you may depend upon it. At
last, along about five or six o'clock
in the evening came the news that
the Merrimac had been disabled by
the Monitor and had put back to
port. Bushnell, who was n strapping
fellow, with hand in proportion to
his size, brought his hand down on
my shoulder with whack that near
ly knocked me down.
"'Sperry,' says he, your bond is
safe l tell you, there was great
celebrating in New Haven that time
A peculiar thing is that the original
bond we signed has never beer
found. No one knows what became
of it,"

l stopped at station on the Union
Pacific railway, not far from an army
post. Several soldiers in charge of
sergeant were unloading supplies from
freight cars on the switch when
captain drove up and spoke irritably
and impatiently to the sergeant, charg-
ing him with negligence and laziness.
The sergeant attempted to explain, but
the captain called him sun of gun,
or words to that effect, ordered him
to shut up and get through with his
work.
The sergeant, a big, strapping fell
low, said that if the captain was not an
officer. he would make him take that
back, or lick him. The captain said at
once that he would drop the officer
for ten minutes, if the sergeant really
wanted to lick him. The sergeant said
he did, and the two went into the large
vacant freight house to settle the mat
ter. The captain threw off his coat
and the sergeant his blouse and belt,
and after calling the station agent to
act as referee, the two shook hands
and went at it.
"The sergeant was the larger man,
and depended on his strength. The
captain was, however, well trained,
and in the end worsted his antagonist.
The sergeant, recovering slowly from
n knock-down blow. was asked by the
captain: DO you think you can lick
me now?' The sergeant said at first he
didn't know but before he got to his
feet he said he was satisfied he couldn't
do it. Thereupon the captain said:
Very well. If you are quite certain in
your own mind that you can't lick me,
recall all remarks about you being
son of a gun, but still stand by the
specification as to negligence and lazi-
ness unless these supplies are at the
fort in an hour The supplies were
there on time, and the captain assured
me at later date that the sergeant
held no grudge against him."

MAINTAINING DISCIPLINE.
How q Captain Enforced His Com.
mnnds Upon an Insub ordinate
Sergeant.

"Some of the company officers" said
the major, in the Chicago Inter Ocean,
had in the first year of the war orig
inal methods of maintaining discipline.
| remember n captain in the Twenty
second Illinois who scorned the ordi-
nary methods of Furnishing the pri-
Yates of his company. While we were
at Birds Point, Mo-, in the fall of 1861,
| passed his quarters one day and
found him behind his tent pounding
man as large and active as himself.
The captain was stripped to shirt and
trousers, and was fighting for the mas
terry.
For five or ten minutes 1t was give
and take between him and his antag-
onist. Then the latter was knocked
down and said he had enough. Then
the captain put on his coat, sent the
man to the orderly's tent, and sat
down to smoke with me. He said he
made it rule to trounce every man who
was saucy or insubordinate, and as
his men were mostly from the country,
and given to independent notions, he
found the plan to work well. He said
he would no more think of bucking and
gagging one of his men than he would
of shooting him.
"Twenty-five years after the close
of the war I found the same sort of a
captain in the regular army. One day

PRIVATE ALIENS NEW STORY
About German Veteran Who Was
Given to Boosting of His War
Time Exploits.

John Allen is in town-John Allen, OF
of stories will appear in the capitol
cloak-rooms. Here is one for starter,
says the Washington Star.
There is an old fellow in East st.
Louis named Zollenbaum, who is quite
a character. He saw little service in
the union army, but regards himself as
a hero. One night, in a Grand Army
campfire, he was reciting his various
exploits, which, by much repetition
had grown considerably, both in num-
Der and character. He told how in
one battle he had killed four confed-
crates in hand-to-hand combat, and
in another battle had slain six. His re-
cital, accompanied by profuse ges-
ture and deep, rich German accent,
elected much enthusiastic applause.
"But at the close of his remarks a
modest little man in the rear of the
hall, wearing a medal of honor, arose
and called attention to the fact that
the two battles the gentleman men,
toned had occurred on the same day,
1,5OO miles apart.
"This blow bade fair for a moment to
stagger the doughty Zollenbaum; but
he was equal to the occasion.
"'My vrend,' he shouted, comrades
of de Grand Army, we have tam
rebel in our midst. Rouse NIT him!'
and in the confusion Zolenbaum
marched proudly from the hail."

Ice Instead OF Dynamite.

A notable quarrying feat was late.
Iy accomplished at the Rubislaw
granite quarries, Aberdeen. A large
stone had been drilled ready for
splitting, when the thought struck
the foreman that nature might aid
in the object to be attained, the idea
being suggested by the severe frost
which prevailed. Water was poured
into each of the drill holes, and it
was found after a couple of days
that the block of granite had COM
pletely burst open. An idea of the
immense power of the frost will be
gained when it rs stated that the
stone thus detached has weight of
about six tons.-Science.

the corner of South Water street

actually look with just suspicion
of jealous apprehension at certain

not forbear pointing with his cane,
with sort of n smile to make it
appear that he considered it in the
light of a joke, at some placards
which appeared above the sacks and

had caught their significance. This is

BUILDING THE MONITOR.
Interesting Account OF the stirring
Event and an Attendant
Incident,


There is the man who was bonds
man for the construction of the
Monitor"
This remark is often made at the
capitol as Representative Sperry, of
Connecticut, is pointed out. 1t was
40 years ago that Mr.. Sperry signed
his name to the Instrument that
pledged every dollar he had in the
world on the success of an expert
ment-that the United States navy
department was not willing to back,
which great many people thought
was a foolish one, but the success
of which marked the turning point
in the naval fights of the war.
Mr.. Sperry never speaks of his
connection with the affair. He is
very modest upon that score, and it
is only with difficulty that he can be
drawn into discussing it. He got re-
sults-and that's all there was to it,
says the Washington Star.
But Mr.. Sperry's story of the bond
ing of the constructors of the Moni-
tor, the fiscal act which was ante
cedent to the great military drama,
is very interesting.
II was n young fellow" said Mr..
Sperry, "but was full of patriotism
and ardor for the success of the
union cause, and / guess that was
why the projectors of the Monitor
approached me to back the scheme
with bond for the successful build
ing of the vessel.
John \. Griswold, of Troy, at that
time a member of congress-; Cor
nelius S. Bushnell, of New Haven,
and a western man named Winslow
were the builders. The vessel was de-
signed by Ericsson, as is well known,
but these three men were to con-
struct her. The navy department
was skeptical of the practicability of
Ericsson's idea, and declined to adj
be provided to secure the department
against loss if the plans should not
work out successfully.
There was great commotion about
the building of the confederate ram
Merrimac. We knew that she was
going ahead at the Gosport navy
yard and would be the most for
midable vessel afloat. She was IRON
clad, and the thought of that invinci-
bic ship being turned loose among
the wooden vessels of the coast was
n terrible one.
"She could have levied tribute on
every city along the coast from the
Chesapeake to Maine, and would
have had everything her own way.
Well, when the Monitor was pro-
posed, people said that was just the
thing if it would work out. But
many people were doubtful about the
cheese box as they jeeringly called
Ericsson's vessel.
"Mr. Bushnell thought she could be
built. So Mr.. John Drew, of New
York, and myself went on his bond
with the navy department and the
work was started at Greenpoint, n.
Y. 1t was nip and tuck between the
two rivals which should be complet-
