4 DIFFERENCE IN THE SEXES.
Sentiment Not Highly Developed ir

Sentiment Not Highly Developed in
Men-Prosaic and Unromantic.
Women never can get used to the
lack of romantic sentiment displayed by
the average man.
1t takes woman to hoard up every
scrap of the writing of a beloved hand,
and lock it away in a desk with blue
ribbon around it.
The most crrsory note he has scrib-
bled in pencil is safely treasured up,
not because it breathed unusual or fer
vid sentiments, but because indited in
that hand.
Twenty-Five years after, she can stin
regard with tender interest the flower
he gave her on such and such a day,
which she wore in her bosom until it
died, and then tucked religiously into
book. A bit of gown she wore when
she first saw him, the book they read
together, the first "photo" he gave her
all these things have a mighty and
undying interest for woman, who is by
nature more sentimental than man.
The best man in the world often has
a singular lack of romance of this sort
in his makeup. When the past is over
he forgets it. A rose that has served
its purpose in his buttonhole, worn on
whatever mOmentOuS occasion, is es-
teemed by him to be more fit for the
waste basket than the bureau drawer
He has been known to crumple her bill
let doux before his lady's eyes and smil-
ingly toss it to the four winds; and he
would be puzzled to understand why
that lightsome disregard or his should
send little chill to her heart.
No, men are not by nature senti-
mental animals. They can love with
out cumbering themselves with endless
effects belonging to the object of their
affections. And far be it to say that
theirs is not the wiser method of the
two. 1t simplifies life and is least
likely to precipitate future embarrass-
ments.

During the great Civil War the
Union soldiers encountered many in
stances of loyal devotion to the old flag
in tile South. One particular instance,
/ recall, OF loyalty to the Union on the
part OF a Southerner, and a Jew,
where tragedy might readily have
been enacted. At the time | was
Judge Advocate of a military commits
sion, organized in New Orleans during
the last year of the war.
A Jew was brought before us, upon
the charge of having furnished aid and
comfort to the Confederacy. Proofs OF
his guilt appeared quite conclusive.
He had beck captured within the enc
ny's lines, opposite Baton Rouge, and
upon his person was found paper
Containing very complete list of arti-
cles, including revolvers, ammunition,
duinine, etc. He had agreed to deliver
these the following evening to the
Confederate captain, with whom he APP
peared to be arguing when our boys
captured the squad. have forgotten
the stated compensation, but it was
very large, the amount to be paid for
each article being listed at figures far
beyond even war prices.
The Jew could speak but little Eng
lish, and his attorney, who had been a
colonel in a Western volunteer regi-
ment, and was permitted by courtesy
to act in the prisoners behalf, antago-
nized, from the first, Colonel Buchan-
an, the president of the commission.
The latter was a Regular Army officer
Of the old school, martinez, red-tape
West Pointer, who still maintained
that Mcclellan was the best of all our
Generals, and that Grant, Sherman
and Sheridan were Generals simply by
good luck, and without especial mill
tary requirements. The Articles
of War and military rules and regula-
tons were to him as sacred as Holy

tainted him about his Yankee
friends" to the effect that Changing
vas peter tan helping Repels"
The President appeared to consider
all this side testimony as wholly ir-
revelant and useless; apparently his
own mind was fully made up as to the
prisoners guilt, although there ap-
peared to me room for very grave
doubt. The placid and almost con-
tented look of the old Hebrew, and his
unconcern when captured with such a
damning paper in his possession, COM
PEELED in me belief that he was not
entirely guilty. or at least that the
whole truth had not yet been known,
and that there must be some extenu-
ating circumstances.
In my position as Judge Advocate,
| endeavored to bring out these points,
and wOrded my questions accordingly.
But Colonel Buchanan was supreme
over any court where he presided, and
no question was ever permitted to be
asked that he did not fully sanction
and often change to suit his own
views. He tried to be just, yet he was
extremely arbitrary and opinionated,
and l feared he had already prejudged
the case.
After a consultation with his client,
the lawyer said he would like to have
the Rebel Captain who commanded the
captured squad summoned.
What do you propose to prove by
him!" Numbered the Colonel. HE is
a Rebel, taken in arms against the
Government; doubt if l ought to per-
NIT his testimony to have any weight
before this Commission"
The lawyer, however. insisted that
he was very important witness, and
though refusing to reveal his line of
defense, demanded that he be pro-
duced, and threatened. if his request
was refused, to lay the whole matter

Writ, and like a Roman Senator, he
would have stoically passed sentence
upon his own son had he been found
guilty of breaking the least of them.
Treason in it's mildest form was most
odious to him, and that any ofncer
should stoop to enrich himself pen
ny's worth by trade in Government
property was cause for the sevefest
punishment and everlasting disgrace
The ex-Colonel of Volunteers, with his
breezy Western style and his disregard
of red tape and formality, injured his
clients cause from the first, and sew
eral times Colonel Buchanan threat
ened to forbid his presence before the
Commission. The testimony at first
was very strong against the prisoner.
The captain commanding the Union
squad swore clearly and without chal-
lenge to all the details. Word had
been brought to him by an unknown
boy that a lot of Rebels had been seen
several times near the Ferry, opposite
Baton Rouge, and would be there
again, particularly the evening in
question. Obtaining permission from
the General commanding, the Captain
took part of his company, crossed over,
concealed himself and men near the
Ferry and witnessed the interview
between the Confederate Captain and
this Jew. He was not close enough to
hear the conversation, but he observed
the Jew was not surprised to meet the
Rebels, and shortly after they met he
saw him hand the Captain a paper.
Meanwhile, his men had cautiously
closed in on the enemy, and after
slight resistance captured the entire
party. 1t was true, the Captain added,
that he knocked the Rebel Captains re-
volver from his hand just as he was
about to shoot the Jew, but neither of
them would state whether there was
any quarrel, or If so, the cause. The
Jew seemed surprised to be treated as
q prisoner, and when the paper was
found upon him, and some of the boys
wanted to hang him without trial, he
looked bewildered and dazed. He at
tempted, two or three times, to make
some sort of explanation, but seemed
so free and unconcerned about the
whole matter, and tried to be so con-
fidential, that the Captain, too, at last
got angry, and told him that if he
didn't hold his tongue no great effort
would be made to restrain the boys
from carrying out their threat. The
Sergeant and two of the men testified
in much the same way. The Sergeant
added that when he said to the Jew,
why, you gray-headed old sinner,
don't you know that that paper we
found on you will hang you higher
than Haman." the Jew merely
shrugged his shoulders and said some
thing to the Rebel Captain, who had

before General Banks, commanding
the Department. The Colonel fared
up in an instant.
Il want you to understand, sir" he
said, that not even the President of
the United States can compel me to
summon witness if l think it I'M
necessary. / have sworn. as have the
other members of this Commission, to
do my whole duty without fear or
! favor"
After a few moments of painful
silence, possibly seeing from our dis
gusted looks that we were becoming
impatient with his arbitrary manner,
he said. "But / do not want to be I'M
fair in this matter"
/ ventured to say, "Mr. President,
might it not be advisable to summon
this witness, and if it is shown that
he has no material knowledge, to then
refuse to hear him further?'
Utterly ignoring me, he asked the
lawyer how soon he could produce the
witness.
"a half hour after you issue the
summons was the reply.
1.-THE court stands adjourned till the
usual hour tomorrow. Captain to
Sir" to the lawyer, ''if your wit
court meets | shall not wait moment.
Too much time has been wasted al

As the lawyer passed me when leav-
ing the room he gave me a sly dig,
and with a solemn wink whispered,
MY innings tomorrow"
Promptly when called the following
morning, the Rebel Captain appeared
He was laughing bright-eyed young
fellow of about %, using crutches as
result of the loss of his right leg.
Colonel Buchanan was impressively
polite, and told him not to attempt to
stand while the oath was administered.
1t was evident from the first that our
Rebel had no fear of Yankee Colonies
or Yankee courts. He called out
"How'dy" to the different members.
and told our dignifed President that
he was jolly glad to see him, but
would prefer to change places with
him, and added, what i'm the world
are 'uns trying to do with old Uncle
Isaacs?'
The Colonel raped severely for or

the lawyer asked the witness if he
recognized the prisoner.

quite so COMPOUNDED smart, we'uns

LUCKY STEERAGE MOTHER.
Child Born Aboard Ship Presented
with Wardrobe and Twenty
Five Dollars.

A few weeks ago the European
steamer Graf Waldersee came limping
into New York Harbor after having en-
cpuntered, according to statements of
the steamer officials and crew, one of
the worst storms ever encountered on
the Atlantic. But Notwithstanding the
rough voyage, there was little Incl
dent on shipboard which attracted as
much attention as the storm. On the
second day out just before the storm
broke there was born to one of the
steerage passengers son, who was ap-
propriately named Herman Waldersee
Gales, and the cabin passengers gave
him wardrobe, besides raising $50
for his mother.

Notwithstanding the fact that 1892
8 steerage passengers embarked for
New York from European ports during
the past three years, according to
figures complied by the immigration
authorities. it is a remarkable fact that
only 116 babies have been born in the
steerage during that time. This num-
Der does not include the recent arrival
on the Waldersee.
Yet, there was an early precedent
for ocean births, for, according to his
tory, the first English child born in the
limits Of New England was Peregrine
White, who first saw light of day on
the Mayfower In Cape Cod Harbor.
