Injustice to a Veteran.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: | see that
Col. BudlOng is to be Ousted from his Of
fee QRegister of the Land Office in favor
of young man, Mr.. YOst
The Colonel is the best-qualified man
who has ever held the Office in this place
Besides being a very good comrade in
our q. A. X. Post, he being Past Depart
ment Commander, of the Department of
Idaho, he is also a very benevolent man.
He and his wife have given a large part
OF the salary to the poor, the Church and
the G.. A. r., so that their means are
quite limited, and he is too old to take up
new business. The President said in
an Executive order, Jan. 20, in part:
1.-The President desires that. wherever
the needs of the service will justify and
the law will permit, preference shall be
given alike in appointment and retention
to honorably- discharged veterans of the
civil war who are fit and well qualified
to perform the duties of the places which
they seek or are filling" Now here is a
case in hand of that kind, and l believe
that the President will stand by our old
comrade if the case is properly presented
TO him. Our comrade (BudlOng) is a
prominent Republican, and ran for Gov
ernor on that ticket some years since

war was over! Lee and Johnston had
both surrendered and Sherman had been
trying for several days to get word to
Wilson's $4,000 horsemen to stop.
Before this word reached US. however,
n detail from the main command had been
dispatched to destroy and burn Ander-
sonviile Prison. Our regiment, the eth
Ohio. was the advance of this detail.
and we had arrived at Oglethorpe. only a
few miles from our destination, when we,
too. were met by a bevy of fine-looking
fellows in gray. who invited us to stop.
1t was Shermans orders they were de-
livcring, and there was no help for it
but to go Immediately into camp.
DISCOVERY OF BLIND TOM.
Next day a dozen of us were entertained
at n house near the. town, and after
long conversation concerning the 'wah.
our host said he had a black musical
prodigy we must see and hear before
going. We sat fortwo hours and listened
to all the airs belonging to the South, and
also every tune we could hum or whistle
little dreaming that our black musician
was soon to electrify the whole North and
finally cross two oceans and play before
every nationality on the globe and earn
thousands, tens of thousands of dollars
for his impoverished master. We had
been listening to Blind Tom In music
Blind Tom was without question a prOdi-
cy, but outside of this one talent he was
almost an idiot. 1t seemed strange dis

pensation of Providence to beStOw upon
this drivelng idiot of the cotton field the
great musical talent which for many years
astOnished and electrified the people Of the
world.
Within the next few days orders came
which dispersed our command, some Of it
going to one point for muster-Out and
others to different stations in the South.
Our regiment joined in the running hunt
after jeff. Davis. 1t fell to the lot of a
Michigan regiment to capture him, but
we had something to do with his gray
trip-slip, after all. Orders came to our
quarters in the field one night for a hur-
ried detail of hundred men and quota
of officers. The night was very dark.
The writer made the detail We sup
posed the detail was to load cotton down
the railway.
The next day, however, word came TO
our camp that all who wanted to see Jeff.
Davis and the other fellows should step
over on the right hand side of the rail
road as the train went by. Curiosity was
at low ebb just then, and not over 10 or
20 took the trouble to get n peep at Old
Petticoats,' as the men called Davis Our
detail of the night before was with them
and yelled Justify as they passed our
bivouac.
In July, after we were mustered out at
Nashville, and arriving at Cincinnati on
our way home, the first posters we no
ticed on the billboards were for Blind

WILSON'S CAVALRY.
Speaking of Wilson's Cavalry Corps
reminds me of n story which may interest
the cavalry veterans. Some years after
the war citizen of the far South was
asked if he had suffered any great loss
during the war. Not so very much he
replied. You see, ] lived far down South.
and the Yankees did not reach my planta-
| ton often. On one occasion Gen. Streight
made a raid near me, but Forrest knocked
the Stufling out of him and he did but lit
tie damage. Then Gen. Rousseau came
our way, but our boys kept him going so
| fast to save his own bacon that he did
not have time to get any of ours, but
when Wilson came along with his 'C1itter
Company it. seemed to me there were
about $4,000 of 'em, and was looking for
trouble, and sure enough it came. Among
other niggers on my plantation was an
old field hand who was about 10 years old
lie was as deaf as q post, totally blind in
one eye and nearly blind in the other This
old niger took n notion that the DAY of
jubilee" had come, and, mounting q $500
mule belonging to me, he lit out between
Sundown and sunup and joined Wilson's
Cavalry. To my great surprise he re-
turned two days later and in reply to nv
inquiry why he had returned, said: Il
came back, Massa Jim, kase GineraI VIII
son don't want blind niggers, but he saw
the mule will do, and he keeps the
mule. -"

1t is now definitely known that Miss
Alice Roosevelt will not accompany Mr..

the occasion of the coronation of King
this for his daughter for many reasons.
One of them was that the proposed visit
was becoming international and promised
to lead to columns of gossip about the
young visitor, who, il she had gone. would
have been merely the guest of Mr.: and
Mrs. Reid and would not have desired
invitations from court. The President
came to the conclusion that it would not
be to his liking to have so much talk about
the visit, and accordingly advised his
daughter to settle the question forever by
announcing that she would not go.

POULTRY POINTERS

A safe rule in feeding is to give
enough to satisfy and no more. ,s (.
Droppings should not be allowed tc
accumulate in the poultry house longer
than week.
Bone dust supplies an abundance of
bonemaking material and counteracts
any tendency to diarrhea.
When possible, give the poultry house
southern exposure and furnish that
side with an abundance Of light.
While wheat is one of the best grains
to feed to fowls. it should not be fed tc
excess or it may cause diarrhea. Feed
it with other grains.
Loss of feathers is generally caused
by want of green food or want Of a
dust bath. Supply both, and, as local
application, use mercurial ointment.
Breed the best flesh formers for mar
ket; then feed them up to as great
weight as possible. Well fattened, well
dressed poultry bring the best prices.

STORY or Tlto FLAGS.


= = ? 5fSf
I How . MANS Life was Saved at the
| VERY Inst M0meIlt.
The following stirring incident Of the
two flags happened at Valparaiso,
Chile, and was related at Montreal in
1881 by the Rev. DR.. ]. o. Peck. DR..
Peck said:
The man who gave me the facts
nm about to relate was Mr.. Haskins.
an American sailor who had sailed to
q port IN Chile. On going ashore, he.
said, to enjoy his day OF liberty he
drank little and became hilarious.
One OF the police officers, instead OF
warning him not to make noise In
the street, drew his sword and, strik-
ing him blow, knocked him down..
On that the American sailor got up
and knocked the policeman down in
return. He was on that arrested and
tried and condemned to be shot In the
porning Of the following day.
Mr.. Loring, the American consul, ex-
Epostulated with the authorities that it
would be monstrous to shoot the man
for such an offense, but they paid no
attention to him. so he thereupon made
sa formal protest in the name Of the
United States government against the
sbarbarous act. Mr.. Haskins. the sail
or. was in the morning brought out
Epinioned to be shot.
AS the English consul was prepar-
Ing to hoist the union Jack he saw the
crowd IN the field opposite, where the
execution OF the American sailor, Of
which he had heard, was to take place.
Rushing over the American consul, he
said, .Loring, you're not going to let
them shoot that mani @$ ss,a,
- 8. What can dor he said. L have
protested against it. i can do no more
"Quick as thought the English con-
sui shouted, Give me your flag! And
IN q trice the stars and stripes were
handed to the English representative.
AT once, taking his own union jack in
his hand, he FASTENED across the field,
elbowed his way through the crowd
and soldiery, and, running up to the
doomed man, he folded the American
flag around him and then laid the I'M
ion jack over it. Standing few PAGES
back, he faced the officers and soldiers
and shouted defantly, Now, shoot. II
you dare. through the heart Of Eng
land and Americay
"And they dared not do it, for they
feared the consequences. SO the man
was at once released. In telling me-"
said DR.. Peck. "Mr. Haskins said tc
me, with tears streaming down his
cheeks even then, They .o,'>ed me
then, and, oh, how longe,' 10 embrace
those two dagsp"-Anglo-American.
