solDlERLY CONDUCT.
How Unseasoned Troops Camo to
Change Their Opinions Re-
garding Tried Troops.


81 remember" said the sergeant to the
correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean, "some queer things that hap
pened when Buells army returned to
Louisville in the fall of 1862 We had
made a long march under most discour-
aging circumstances and the men were
ragged and dirty We met there new
regiments from Ohio and Indiana, most
of them splendidly equipped, with men
in new uniforms and punctilious as to
military forms and camp regulations.
The men Of the new regiments regarded
the shabby men of the old regiments
with disappointment if not contempt,
and the men of the old regiments didn't
care.
Our division, it SO happened, was
quartered on the island formed by the
canal and river, in what seemed to have
been potato field or truck farm. The
first thing the tired men thought of was
rest, and they proceeded to take it in a
very informal way. Friends from the
new regiments come to see us. and there
was pity in their eyes as they looked
over the loosely organized camp with
men lounging and sleeping without re-
gard for order. One officer, an old
school friend, told me plainly that he
was greatly disappointed-our men
seemed so callous and so incapable Of
deep feeling
While he was talking there was a
commotion in camp. Gen. Nelson. who
| had commanded the division at the
front, had been shot, and the men of our
regiment and others were on the in
| stant in the widest excitement. Hun
dreds of men caught up their rifles and
hurried toward the bridge across the
canal, bent on forcing a passage into the
city. Meantime, the adjutant came with
an order for our company to hold the
bridge. When the order to fall in was
given the men of the company were
swearing and threatening what they
would do.
My friend of the new regiment re-
garded the situation with alarm. The
new men did not like Nelson. The DEM
onstration of affection among these vet
Grams was revelation to them, but they
were asking who could control such a
mob. Our company was formed and was
double quicking to the bridge in five
minutes. In ten minutes we had turned
back all the excited soldiers except
those who elected to swim across the
canal. Here was another revelation.
Against the strongest possible feeling,
duty and discipline prevailed.
My friend of the new regiment said
he never saw finer sight than when the
command formed across the bridge
to check their own excited comrades,
with whom they sympathized, but
against whose appeals and threats they
stood like a wall as silent, as immovable
as stone. Here was an exhibition of sol.
dier dignity and sense of duty, touch
ing in the extreme, and when a few days
later the division took the road on ten
minutes notice the new regiments had
an illustration of the difference between
seasoned soldiers and others which they
never forgot"

WHAT WAR DID FOR HIM.
Case in Which It Inspired Desire
for Education and Was the
Making OF Man.

81 remember" said the captain, "one
fine looking fellow who enlisted after
we had started to the front. He car
ried himself we'll in all things and all
went well with him until he came to
signing the pay roll, when he baked
and declined to sign. l saw embarrasS-
ment in the fellows eyes and did not
press the point. Later | called him to
my tent and showed him that several
of the men had made their marks, but
if he didn't want to make his mark
would teach him to write his name
and wait until he could sign for him
self He said he couldn't even make
pot hooks, but if would give him three
days he would write his own name.
He was the proudest man ever saw
when three days later he wrote his
name. But he confided to me that he
was in fresh trouble, as he couldn't read
a blamed word of the letters that came
to him from acquaintance, who took it
for granted that he could write. The
outcome of all this was that he learned
to write and secretly taught himself to
read After the war he studied law,
located in the west, and was elected to
congress, and 20 years ago, while in
Washington, was examining with him
some old documents, when he said, in
his old soldierly way:
81 tell you am gladder than half
a dollar that never made my mark
on pay roll or any other document that
was to go on ale. See how many OF
these fellows were "cross" men. You
saved me that time, Cap, and now take
as much pride in my signature as old
John Hancock did in his, and, do you
know, sign more petitions and more
letters of introduction and recommends
tion than any other member of the
house Fact My one weakness is writ
ing my name Inter Ocean.

Valor of Prince Henry

Many stories are told of the hardi-
hood and valor of Prince Henry, of
Germany. 1t was not so long ago that
he was in command of the Olga, which
was lying anchored in northern waters.
His highness gave an order that all
hands were to bathe. The weather
and the water being cold, some demur
was made. Without word Prince
Henry, who was on the bridge, srang
into the sea and swan around to the
ladder at the stern, climbed on board
again and asked the officers II they still
thought 1t was too cold. There was
naturally no reply and the order was
promptly carried out.

Temperance Made in Germany.

Germany continues to supply the
world with temperance lessons, not
withstanding the fact that 1t is common
ly regarded as one of the greatest of
driaking countries. The announcement
comes that German chemists have dis
covered method Of making beer which
will have no alcohol in 1t. And, OF
course, without alcohol there will be no
"fuddle." AT various other times there
have come indications of strong tenn
perance sentiments in Germany, If that
country is going in for boozeless beer
and wine that will carry with it no sting
of the serpent, the total abstainer will
not have to search far to find his earthly
paradise. e.--Troy Times.

PROGRESS OR VANDALISM.

When we get Niagara harnessed
And her useless cliffs and crags
Have been dried to feed the yearnings
OF our yawning money bags.
What n JOY Will thrill our bosoms-
All romantic nonsense drowned
As we hear her torrents thunder
Through the wheel pit under groundl
Then we'll blast away Goat Island,
Turn II into building blocks,
Put n turbine in the whirlpool,
Build shot towers down the rocks.
How We'll pity our poor forebears,
Prating of aesthetic taste,
While allowing, thoughtless fellows,
All those kilowatts to wastel
Forward, Spirit of Progression!
Natures still giddy shirk.
Tear away her fancy toggings,
Get her into trim for work
Turn the Adirondack forest
Into neat and useful planks;
Straighten out the crooked Hudson,
Line with piers her grassy banks.
Crush the Dunderberg for pavements,
Make the Palisades cement
Fill the Catskills up with signboards-
Lots of good rock space to rent.
Rip the redwoods into shingles,
Sow the Yellowstone to wheat,
Turn the geysers into laundries
And the bear and deer to meat.
What are mere aesthetic fancles,
Hill or vale or wood or vine,
To the graceful curves and meaning
OF the pleasing dollar sign?

Consoling Reflection.

Gen. Sherman was marching through
Georgia.
"Yes" he said, that's what war is
but think how much worse it might be
if we had to listen to that Internal song
about this march hundred times day
while we're on the way across!"
Cheered by this thought, he sat down
and ate heartily of the sweet potatoes
that had started from the ground the
night before.-Chicago Tribune.
