and, enlisting squad of recruits, he
entered the SD Ohio as a Second Lieu
tenant He was transferred to the 10Th
Ohio, became First Lieutenant, and
then was commissioned Major in the
14th U. S. c. T. He rose to be Colonel
of this regiment. He was offered a
Second Lieutenancy in the Regular
Army, but would not take it until Gen.
Grant urged him to do so. He rose to
be Major in the oath L. s., and
showed unusual talent as an Adjutant,
which caused his transfer in 1869 to the
Adjutant- Generals Bureau. He saw
service in the expeditions against the
Apaches, the Sioux and Moquis. He be-
came Adjutant-General, u. S. Army. in
1896, with the rank of Brigadier-Gen-
eral. He was an intimate friend of
President Garfield, was with him when
he was shot and at his bedside when
he died. President Mckinley took him
into hign favor, and confided the COM
mand of the Army to him during the
Spanish War. He was promoted to
Major-General, assigned to the COM
mand of the Department Of the East,
and in 1904 sent to command in the
Philippines, where he did good work in
establishing friendly relations between
the Army and the Civil Government.
April Is, 1906. he was promoted. to
Lieutenant-General,a and retired for age
six months later. Gen. Corbin was a
man of large frame, fine military car
riage and striking appearance. He was
prominent in Washington society for a
great many years and had a host of
civilian as well as military friends, with
the customary number of bitter enc
mics. He was admitted by even his
enemies to be born organizer, q genius
as an Adjutant-General, and TO have
rendered service Of incalculable value
to the country in the Spanish War. He
had remarkable record of fidelity to
duty, and during more than 80 years in
the Army he was never absent from his
post for more than 80 days. His ca
pacity for work was marvellous, and ne
had a tact which brought out the best
in the men under him. The remains

As to AIiIrOy.

Editor National Tribune: 1 have been
interested very much since the Win
chester and Milroy controversy has been
rade ]. NJ. Griffith, of Bellingham
Wash, has been a great help to me In
my former efforts in keeping Gen. MIL
roy from disgrace. Comrades should be
very careful when writing, in order that
they do not do some deserving officer
or soldier a lot of harm. Gen. Milroy
was too good an officer to be disgraced
by dishonorable discharge, and while
Comrade Warfe1 may not have meant
to do anyone any harm, he needs be
very careful how he drops into print.
OF all the accounts / have read con-
cerning Milroy at Winchester none has
shown the affair any truer than Serg't
Griffith in issue of Feb. IL, 1909. The
Sergeant speaks of the company, which
was Co. G, 18th Pa. Cav, that left them
at Bunker Hill, cutting short rations.
Possibly they thought that the better
part of valor was to run away and live
to fight another day, which the regi-
ment did, and Gen. ID. Mem. Gregg, of
and p. III. Sheridan were living they
would say that the regiment did it's fun
duty If il did have the sobriquet of the
Skedaddling 18th" A few years ago a
member of the 18th Va. Cav. mad the
cheek to ask me, when / mentioned the
18th Pa. Cav, If that was not the CAL
Looping 18th" l asked him il he re-

Edwin, His Brother, Said He Was Re-
gar1ed as Crazy Boy.

Windsor Hotel, July %, 1Ss1.-Dear
Sir: can give you very little informa-
ton regarding my brother John. l sell
dom saw him since his early boyhOod In
Baltimore. He was a rattlepated fell
low, filed with quixotic notions. While
at the farm in Maryland he would
charge on horseback thru the woods
"spouting'' heroic speeches, with a
lance in his hand-a relic of the Mexi-
can War-given to father by some SOL
der who had served under Taylor. We
regarded him as a good-hearted, harm
less, tho wild-brained boy, and; used to
laugh at his patriotic froth whenever
secession was discussed. That he was
insane on that one point no one who
knew him we'll can doubt. When told
him that 1 had voted for Lincoln's re-
election he expressed deep regret, and
declared his belief that Lincoln would
be made King of America, and this, /
believe, drove him beyond the limits of
reason ] asked him once why he did
not join the Confederate army, to which
he replied: Il promised mother / would
keep out of the quarrel, if possible, and
am sorry that / said So" Knowing
my sentiments, he avoided me, rarely
visiting my house, except TO see his
mother, when political topics were not
touched upon-at least in my presence.
He was of a gentle, loving disposition,
very boyish and full of fun-his moth
er's darling-and his deed and death
crushed her spirit. He possessed rare
dramatic talent, and would have made
brilliant mark in the theatrical world.
This is positively all that l know about

Length OF Life Among Animals.
(From la Vulgarisation scientifiou

(From la Vulgarisation Scientifique.)
The maximum length of life of some
of the best-known animals is as follows:
The horse lives to a maximum of 35
years and the donkey like period !:
the dog does not exceed 25 years, the
rabbit from eight to 10, the goose SO,
the duck, the hen and the turkey a
dozen years.
Among the animals having the best
established reputation for longevity are:
The crow, which lives 100 years; the
parrot and the elephant. which attain
an age of $50 years. Carp, on the other
hand, appear to have usurped their
reputation, which was based on ilI-un-
derstood facts from Cantilly and Fon-
tainebleau. They rarely become CEN
tenarians. The tortoise appears to be
the animal that lives the longest, and
the record of longevity is surely held
by one weighing ESQ Kilograms, which
was presented in 1904 to the London
Geological Gardens by Walter de Roths-
child and which 10 said to have been
