Climbing the s0-Foot Pole.

Editor National Tribune: Concerning
the climbing of the fagpole by a rebel
prisoner to replace the halyards which
had been worn into threads by the pull
OF the flag during a windstorm. II had
been climbed three times at reveills.
The pole was a pine mast, Said to be go
feet in hight, tipped with 80 feet of the
heart of hickory. The first man that
~climbed got as far as the iron bands
holding the splice He came down and
reported IT unsafe, as 1t looked like the
hickory was starting to rot and was
worm-eatcn. Another tried II next
morning, and got within perhaps Is
feet of the top, when his climbers
slipped and he slid down. He came
down kerpiump on an old rotten-jo -joisted
bandstand that surrounded the pole. BY
order of Col. B. j. Sweet the man who
had fallen was carried to the hospital,
and came 10 in about two hours. No
bones were broken. The third man
may have been a prisoner, but II was
reported that he was a sailor. He
climbed at reveille, as did the others,
but company officers were ordered to
hold their men In ranks until the work
was done. so as not to attract the climb
er's attention. This man used a heavy
two-inch harness leather belt, buckled
around himself and the pole, and safe
~ replaced the rope. and soon Old Glory
ascended TO the peak.-AlonZo Cuttings,

A CreditabIe Record.

Cyrus c. Clark, PIP West Wayne
street, South Bend, Ind, was 81 years
old when the war broke out, and was a
physician enjoying a practice which
brought him $4,000 a year. He enlist
ed in April, 1861. for three months, but
before they could be mustered in the
second call came, and he reported with
a company ar Hartford, Conn, and was
mustered into the 4th Conn. After a
few months service the regiment was
reorganized and became the 1st Conn.
IT. A., and saw service at Yorktown
and on the Peninsula In August, 1862.
he was commissioned Major of the 14th
Conn, and the regiment at once went
to the battles OF South Mountain and
Antietam. 1t followed Lee UP the Shen-
andoah Valley, fighting him in all the
gaps in the mountains and then to
Fredericksburg, where all the company
officers on duty were either killed or
wounded. He was disabled for three
months from a wound, when he was
commissioned by President Lincoln as
an Additional Paymaster. and reported
for duty on crutches. He paid the
troops in the Army Of the Potomac.
and in the Winter of 1854 was detailed
to take 100000 from Fort Leaven-
worth to Santa Fe to pay the troops in
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona He
continued on this duty until June. 1866,
and was mustered out Nov. 1, 1855. He
will be 81 years old April II, 1911.
He hopes that this country will think
his service of such benefit as to give
him a pension sufficient to support him
and his old wife for the years they have
to live.

to find the 18th Wis. in the list. I also
find that the 31St Ill. belonged to the
First Brigade. Third Division of the
Seventeenth Corps. Gen. Sherman says
that the Seventeenth Corps did not en-
ter the city at all, but crossed over to
the Winsboro road from the Broad
River Bridge, four miles above the city.
The comrade says: I'VE stood on the
steps of the Catholic Church, and saw
the Iowa Brigade (Belknap's) march
into the city" The facts are that that
Iowa Brigade did not cross the river
until the afternoon Of Feb. II, camping
in a cotton field about half mile west
of the city. On Feb. 21 we passed thru

FilipinOa In Hawaii

Comrade F. TurriII, Honolulu, Hawaii
writes that while that climate suits him
1t is not easy making a living there.
business is largely controlled by two
foreign houses which hate the Ameri-
can Flag. Their policy is to drive ont
all Americans who have spirit enough
10 vote or speak against their control.
THESE men made millions out of the
free markets for their sugar in the
United States
The German house had one of its young
members neturalized just in time to
vote at the last election. He was nut
into control of the Republican party
that it might be worked against the
real Americans. T. Give Davis, the
head of the English House and a Brit
ish Vice-Consul, is one of the sugar
milIionaires and wants to fill the island
with Fflipinos. A host of these were
brought in until d. j. Keefe, Chief
Commissioner of immigration, came
down to inspect conditions Keefe
found the importation of Filirinos to
be horror. More than half of the
men were suffering from some disease.
The Honolulu papers which have any
independence are protesting against
dumping this bunch of undesirables
upon the citizenship of the island. A
recent epidemic on one of the islands
can be directly traced to this importa-
ton. When the planters want anything
from Washington they set up a mighty
shout as to what good Americans they
are, but at heart they hate the Flag
and all who uphold it. They are glad
to make what money they can out of
the military that cope to the Islands.
but they love the American dollar and
hate the American people. When any
man attempts to say anything they tell
him he had better migrate.
