GENERAL YOUNCrS WAY.

Back in the reconstruction period Of
the South. Northumberland s. b. NJ.
Young, the new chief of the general
STAFF of the United states army. proved
himself a hero of the fearless. intrepid
stripe. The incident occurred in Texas.
He was in command of garrison in the
Lone Star State. Considerable friction de-
veloped between the soldiery and the citi-
zens of the town. The citizens made
divers threats and the blue, oats followed
suit. Young respected the law, but those
were strenuous times, and the iron hand
was needed down in that country. The
people stormed. but Young merely
laughed.
Finally the town authorities arrested
one Of the soldiers and hailed him into
court, Tension was high in the little
town and things looked dark for the
prisoner Young learned Of the arrest.
He didn't call in his staff for advice
and he didn't wait to consult with his
military jursts. The exigency had to
he met quietly, and Young acted in
stanter He ordered out a file of sol
diers, placed himself at their head and
marched rapidly down the streets to the
court house The march startled the
townsfolk They gathered in angry
groups, but they didn't phase the future

On he led his detachment. Column

diery heachHd the court house steps. and
up they marched and down the aisles Of
the court room, where Corporal Smith
the prisoner. resigned to his fate, was
standing. while the judge was pron0unc-
ing his sentence. The Justice paused in
his judicial defamation and became dumb
with amaZement. YounK's eyes flashed

saluted him in mock courtesy, and again
turned to his men.
About face, forward" he ordered, and
the soldiers with the rescued corporal in
their midst moved out and filed up the
streets to the army post
1t was a ncrvy act that might have
preCiptated riot in these days but the
citizens of the town were paralyzed with
amaZemont, and to this day have never
taken any steps in reprisal.-Colliers

The report comes from RoXbury that
the license commissioners of RoXburY
have denied j. NJ. Donahues application
for a license Of the second class in that
town. Mr. Donahuc was the only appli-
cant, his location being the hotel at that
place, which he moved into from Mont
peier two or three months ago. hear
ing was held ON the application last woek
Some OF the commissioners also came
from Montpelier a week ago for the pur-
pose. it is said. of interviewing various
citizens, some of whom gave Mr.. Donahue
a satisfactory recommendation and others
spoke in opposite language. Among some
OF the RoNhurY men it Is understood the
principal objection was to the second
class license. which many i'm the COM
munity do not wholly favor 1t is said
that he may give up the hotel business in

The tug Tatoosh. Captain Bailey, was

the 10 Columbia river bar pilots. The
bar was smooth and aoundings we're
taken at many points. IN brief. tho
pilots found that there had been little
change IN depths during the past six
months. although the channel has
worked to the southwark. In speaking
Of the work last evening Captain
Bailey said 70 n representative OF The
Astorian:
we found that there was about 10
feet Of water on the bar at low tide
the same depth that was noted six
months ago. The north channel has
been closing up and the south channel
opening somewhat, Last winter there
was two feet more water In the north
ehannel. but conditions have since been
reversed, and the depth Is now two feet
greater In the south channel. Gcner-
ally speaking. there is little difference
