STORY ABOUT GEN. YOUNG.
His Ingenious Rescue of One of HIS
Troopers Who Had Been
Arrested.


Nearly 80 years ago Gen. S. B. M.
Young, then captain and brevet colonel
Of cavalry, was commanding officer at
Fort Union, about 25 miles east of Las
Vegas, NJ M. At that time, according to
the El Paso Times a great part Of the
business of the country consisted of gov
ernment contracts and the supplying of
the forts and numerous forage agencies
scattered throughout the country, and
contractors made easy money at the busi-
ness. Las Vegas was the home of a num-
Der of men who thus accumulated for
tunes, and these men found it profitable
to stand in" with army officers, so the
latter were entertained and made much
of by the former whenever they came to
town on business or otherwise.
One day some soldiers happened in Las
Vegas, either on leave of absence from
Fort Union or en- route to or from that
point, and proceeded, according to the
usual custom on such occasions, to take
in the town" One of the party got well
''tanked up" and the result was that he
landed in Jail A hotelkeeper, who was
also a government forage agent and a
man who had made many thousands Of
dollars out of government contracts,
probably thinking that he might
strengthen himself with the officers of
the fort, notified Col Young that one of
his men was in jail, and that he had bet
ter hurry to town and get him out. So
the next day, while the soldier was sit
ting in court undergoing trial, Col.
Young arrived with about dozen troop
ers, and, being informed where he would
find the soldier, marched his troops
around in front of the courthouse, dis
mounted them and proceeded himself
with drawn sabei in hand, into the court
room. There sat Murphy, and the justice
Of the peace was proceeding with the
trial. Then this scene was enacted;
Col. Young Private Murphy, atten-
tion!
Murphy jumped up and faced the Off
GER in the attitude Of attention"
Col Young-Right Face! Forward,
march!
Murphy obeyed with military prompt
ness and marched down the aisle and out
of the courthouse door, Col. Young fol-
lowing and halting him at the street
Then, turning to his command, he gave
the order:
Battalion, prepare to mount! ''-Mur-
phys horse had been brought along for
him Mount! Right facet Forward
march," and the whole company pro-
ceeded to the hotel. where the proprietor
set up the drinks to his friend, the colo
mel, and both laughed heartily at the
astonishing effect the coup had had upon
the amazed justice of the peace and the
other officers and attendants Of the
court. The troops then returned to Fort
Union, carrying Murphy with them
The law-respecting and law-abiding
residents of Las Vegas were greatly
shocked and indignation was so aroused
that it was suggested that the affair be
reported to the authorities at Washing-
on. But the contractors and those who
preferred to submit to any outrage rather
than antagonize the military prevented
anything being done

Hotel and hall were quite distance

Hebrew clothing dealer. who, evidently
NOT knowing him and his habits OF

intsllIoenee Of snai,s.

Camille Spiess. a noted naturalist
records a remarkable case of anima!
sagacity. At the foot of the Jura
mountains In the canton Of vaud there
lives farmer who raises edible snails
thelix pomatia). He has as many -
$4,000 OF them at one time In an inclos-
ure surrounded by wooden fence
about two feet high. To prevent the
escape Of the mollusks the top Of the
fence is covered with board, the edge
OF which Is armed with sharp metallic
points. Lately the snails have discov-
cred the means to surmount this bar
rier. A number of them climbed the
fence until they reached the top, then
forming sort of ladder. those behind
passed over the shells of the others In
front. and SO all but one got safely
over the top without being impaled
on the metal points. This simple
story proves. says NJ. Spiess. that
the vineyard snail is not without cum
ming; his behavior in this case gives
evidence Of = reasoning faculty such
as we have never before encountered

alternate red and white, the union of

the. number of states which had been
admitted to the union at that time and
no change has been made since. Prior

The Ethie. Of Honesty.

In the course of speech in the

lie" Hill, democratic whip Of the
house, heard the speech and later fell
into philosophic mood while discuss
ing the Grafton. Here are some gems
OF wisdom which fell from the
colonels lips in the course of a brief
monologue: When a man makes a
parade in the daytime of how honest
he is I always suspect that he does
second-story work on dark nights. The
difference between man who takes
4 $40 bribe and the man who takes a
100000 bribe is that the SO man gets
his. When a free and untrammeled
American citizen has a vote to sell
he generally stands in the market
place. There never was a politician
who dast be honest with himself"
