MARCHED INTO THE SEA.
The Captain Lost His Voice and the
Boys Kept Right On Over
the Wall.

Commodore H. H. Lockwood, who
died few years ago, was a gallant Of
icer and a mathematician of high rank,
but what served chiefly to distinguish
him among Uncle Sans fighting men
was his stammering habit, and stories
still are told in army and navy circles
Of the difficulties that this led him into.
He had an unusual career. A graduate
Of West Point, he resigned from the
army to take a professorship in math-
ematics at the naval academy. Then,
at the outbreak Of the civil war, he re-
signed from the navy to go back to the
army, eventually attaining the rank OF
brigadier general. The war over, he
again resigned from the army and re-
sumed his professorship at Annapolis.
1t was soon after his return to the naval
academy that an incident happened
which forms the basis OF one OF the best
stories told about him, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean.
Lockwood. who then held the rank OF
captain in the naval service, was out
drilling some cadets one day on the
naval academy grounds, and in the
course OF the evolutions he had a COM
pany Of 100 embryo officers heading for
the sea wall. The captain, who stood
behind the company. intended to have
the boys approach within about six feet
Of the water and then to be given the
order to right wheel"
At the critical moment, however. he
found to his horror that his tongue had
become tied. In vain he struggled to
give the command Nearer and nearer
the company approached the sea wall,
but for all the captains gagging and
choking not word could he utter. The
cadets now were within a few PAGES of
the water, and upon their faces was
look that plainly said: "Ours not to
reason why, ours but to swim or die"
The captains face became purple.
The knowledge that only a short dis
lance away group of his brother off,
GERS was watching the proceedings did
not tend to soothe his agitation. In
his desperation he threw his dignity to
the winds and ran after the company of
young heroes, crying: "Hawhaw-haw-
haw-aw-ah-halt!"
1t was too late. The gallant band
had reached the edge of the sea wall,
and overheard it plunged without a
seconds hesitation.
The water was only about three feet
deep at the foot of the wall, and in
this the company stood at attention.

tented itself with kicking and buck
Ing as the surgeon applied his spurs.
He coaxed, demonstrated and spurred
all in vain, and all this time the con-
federates' skirmish line kept coming
closer, until at last one of the enemy
rode up in the rear of the doctor and
demanded his surrender The doctor
had all he could do to keep in the sad
die, and when the demand was again
made he petulantly replied: Well,
blank it, am willing, but you can see
for yourself that the blank mule ANTI
This didn't satisfy the confederate. and
as the doctor was bounding up and down
on the mules back the skirmisher
opened fire from a revolver at close
range on the doctor. This made the
latter indignant, and, whipping out his
own pistol, he began firing over his
own shoulder at the confederate, whom
he knew was somewhere in the rear,
but whom he could not see or pay any
attention to because of the imperious
demands made upon him by the mule.
The danger from death seemed equally
great from beneath as from the rear.
Fortunately, one of the doctors random
shots struck the confederate's horse,
which caused it to break beyond the
control of it's rider, and carried him
rapidly past the doctor to our side, and,
as he went flying past, the mule saw him
and instantly gave chase, bringing the
doctor soon up in the rear of the con-
federate, whom he covered with his
pistol, and actually brought him a
prisoner into our lines or course, the
doctor was glad enough to commend
the mules superior strategy. and not
condemn it for its characteristic obsti-
macy, as he was at first disposed to do"

princess, from which marriage VIII
Jordan was born, is one of the TO
mances of the west
After reaching the plains, Col. Jor-
dan became government Indian scout,
and in this manner became well ac-
quainted with Chief Red Cloud Later
he met Red Clouds niece, Wee-Washte
(Pretty Crib and fell in love with her.
Jordan talked Sioux like a native and
the cOurtship was carried on in that
tongue.
But, says the Brooklyn Eagle, when
the consent of the old chief to the
marriage was asked an almost insur-
mountable difficulty arose. No white
man had ever been married to a Sioux
princess, and 1t was necessary to get
the consent of the entire tribe,
through the chiefs. And so a grand
council was called to consider the mat
ter Red Cloud had become very much
attached to Jordan in the years that
the two had been known to each other,
and he used his powerful influence in
favor of his white friend so success
fully that the consent of the tribe was
given. with certain provisos. Wee
Washte must never learn one word of
English; Sioux must be spoken in her
household and in that of her children
forever; the children were to be per-
mitted to speak English while away
| from the house, but the moment one en-
| tered the home English must cease. And
although Mr.. and Mrs. Jordan have
| been married rs years OF so, Wee
Washte knows no language but her ma
tive one. Her children are well edu-
Gated, but they speak Sioux in their own
! home.
Some weeks ago Will Jordan, on
reaching his eighteenth birthday, was
given the name of Red Cloud" after
his uncle. Ut is customary for an in
dian to take a new name when about
is years old. The accompanying pho
| tograph of him was made at that time.
He is wearing scalp coat" OF the
Sioux, given him by old Chief Spotted
Tail, whose enemies scalps fringe the
sleeves and edges of the buckskin coat.
All the scalps were taken from the
heads of Grow Indians with whom the
Sioux were at war for hundreds of
years. The exact number of scalps
used in making the fringe cannot be
discovered, but not less than 100 were
necessary while perhaps $50 were
used. Years ago these scalp coats
were common, but to-day very few are
known to exist.

CARING FOR LOCOMOTIVES.
Engineers and Firemen who Love
Their Vocation Lavish Much At
tention on Their Engines.

The engineer and fireman who love
their vocation display that liking in
the care which they lavish upon their
locomotive, says the Newburyport
News. There are many brazen parts
which may be made to shine, many
parts of polished steel which are to be
kept bright, and enamel parts of which
the same may be said. Nine out of ten
use more care in the doing of these
things than rules call for, and, indeed,
this almost affectionate care which
they lavish upon their great machines
speaks of a genuine pride which they
feel, each for his own particular loco
motive.
With brass polish, oil and two great
pieces of waste, they make the great
engine to shine in all its parts, and this
with as tender care as if it were a
living thing. The interior of many a
cab may be seen to be Clearly kept, in
spite of the cinders, soft coal dust and
other waste of the road, and not infre-
quently a picture or two adorns some
corner So does the engineer, seated
by the open window, his hand upon the
lever of steel which controls the move
ment of the great iron horse, speeding
along the cleaning rails, feel a genuine
pride in the great engine so complete

STUART'S TENDER HEART.
The Famous Confederate Leader
Loved as Well as He
Could Fight.

At one of the clubs of war veterans
the other evening sat one who had worn
the gray uniform of an officer in the con-
federate service. but he is recognized by
the boys who wore the blue" as having

the enemy, had sympathetic and ten

the notice of her death was read to him
by Van Borcke, his chief of staff, the lat
ter said: THE firmness of the warrior
was overcome and he threw his arms
around my neck and wept bitter tears
upon my breast" Many time after
ward Stuart spoke of his child, but he
never recovered from the cruel blow.
The relator continued: when, in 1864,
in May, Stuart had been struck down by
union soldiers bullet, he was asked
how he felt. He replied: Easy, but

wild Beasts on the Sea.

A French scientist has made some
interesting observations as to the love
of different wild animals for the sea.
The polar bear, he says, is the only
one that takes to the sea, and is quite
jolly when aboard ship. All others
violently resent trip on water, and
vociferously give vent to their feelings
until seasickness brings silence. The
tiger suffers most of all. The mere
sight of a ship makes him uncom-
Portable, and when on board he whines
pitifully, his eyes water continually,
and he rubs his stomach with his ter

THE DARK.

The dark came out of his dim retreat
Where shadowy hemiocks spread:
No sound he made with his gliding feet
AS he passed through the village street
Where the trembling Twilight fled
And the children, caught in the edge OF
night,
Sped home with a thrill of fear;
1.-THE Dark is coming!" they cried in fright,
And scampered away to the cottage light
That sent them ray of cheer
And the Dark passed on, and he gently
stepped
His shoes were soft as down:
As the tired people and flowers slept
The COOL thick plumes from his helmet
swept
Far over the resting town.
The children slumbered till dawn grew red,
And the Dark kept watch till day;
He kissed them all. as they lay in bed,
And not the curl of a single head
Did he harm ere he stole away.
