Tho noxtdnycatno tho electrifying news that the President had lauded a fivo-pound- aud ilheiparty had caught in till four dozen. On tho following daj' tho whole catch was stated lo bo ovor 10U, aud tho weight oi tho President's big-ge- st CbIi 11 ptiunds. These dispatches worked 'Up the pooplc of Washington into a delirium of oxoitomoiit. Tlie climax of wild hilarity was reached whon it was told that "Mrs. Cleveland and Dr. Ward lauded abuauty weighing a pound and a half." The fact that this seemed to bo a joint aflair did not prevent all the glory being awardod to the fair bride. Nobody cared any thing about Dr. Ward or his putativo Bharo in the achievement. The luouibors of tho United States Fish Cora-missi- on view with alarm the havoc being wrought by Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland among the " speckled beauties," as the ollicial reporter calls thorn. If the devastation continues dur- ing the President's month oil' at tho samo rate of increase there will not bi any fish loft. Tho (Commissionors draw the line at extermination. They do not rolish xho prospect of haviug tho work of years undone, oven by a parly of an-iglo- rs from the White lloute. They are now ar- ranging to run thoir hatcheries "double turn " for some lime to come, to repair tho ravage of tho President and his wife. The brilliant record of tho week lias not only maintained the high standard of skill with the rod established by President Arthur, but Mr. Jluyard also feels that it has fully vin- dicated the fisheries policy of the Administra- tion. The Hags on tho State Department and other buildings have been pulled up a few inches higher thau usual the ast few days. The Goddess of Liberty ou the domo of tho Capitol has been lieeu to wavo her cap oxult-aiitf- y, and tho big bronzo onglo in tho War De- partment has been screaming at intervals. When tho President wont away Mr. Bayard assured him that if the British' Lion should whirik his tail ovor into tho Adirondack woods to disturb his peaceful pleasures, tho whole power of the Government would bo invoked 'for his protection. Gen. Sheridan declared himself ready to call out tho troops if necessary; while Secretary Whitney planned with Oapt. Ends, tho ship-railwa- y wan, t transfer the Tallapoosa or mc other terror of the se4 to tho mountains and turn Imrloonoupoti tho fish-lin- g waters. Mr Buyaru tmgxosUKi that as he evidently would not ntd os the Rio Grande the numerous compamrs of rulinnt men who had volunteered to march to Cutting's relief, this imtrioUo contingent might be aruilablo to protect the reidwnt. It waa thought that with Col. Lumont to command tho cxpoditiou-ar- y forces, Mr. GloTelRnd might go ovor into Canada and dm worms if hit wanted te, aud mono would dare to molest or make him afraid.

Along tho lino of march tho citizens did not fail to show their appreciation by general applause and the ladies waved their handkorohiofs.

An hour or more was spent in speech-makin- g, chiefly by tho returned pilgrims, who soctnod ncvor to tiro of tolling what a good time they had. Col. Burko returned thauks In behalf or dologatos for tbo splendid reception. Com- rade Odoll got up, aud as ho did bo ho was met with rousing choors. Ho said many happy things. Gen. Edgar Alien, of Bichmond, re- sponded to repeated calls. In a gracoful and pleasing way ho told interesting stories the trip. la spooking of tho acts of Convention ho cited tbo unanimous ap- proval by the Couvontiou of tho doings of tho Veterans' Bights Union. Tho mention of this Avas received with loud applause. Maj. Uroll callod atlonUou to a miniaturo tent which he had placed on the presiding officer's lablo. " Thoro woro two of those louts," said "at the Convention. One was on Gon. Ilurdett's table, and tho other on Gon. Sher- man's. I stolo thorn both. This ono was on Gen.

After the speech-makin- g tho lady members of tho Woman's Belief Association took charge of tho delegates aud served them a lmiiHuot. Post Commander Lincoln, in a neat little speeoh, thanked the ladies, on behalf or the delugnlos and the Department, ror their kindness. Tho utmost cordiality and good feeliug marked the occasion. THE BI'OII.S OF WAK. Sometime ago Acting Secretary Fairclrild in- structed Mr. Krites, Chief of tho Division of Abandoned Property, to carry into ollect tho provisions of tho act of Congress authorizing the Secretary of tho Treasury to deliver to tho rightful owners cortain articles of jewolryrctc, captured by tho United States army during tho civil war and deposited in tho Treasury De- partment. Mr. Krites has accordingly pro-pare- d rules aud regulations which will govern tho restoration or all such articles, and has just concluded nil examination or tho articles on deposit. They aro contained in two boxes and consist or silverware, jewelry, watches, por- traits, otc. Ono or tho boxes contained nearly .WO watches, gold, silver and brass, and a num- ber or jack-knive- s, pocket books, letters, etc Theso were mainly taken rrom prisoners of war who died in hospitals around Washington, Cape Lookout aud Elinira, and were deposited in tho Treasury by Gen. Ketcham. Somo of them, however, belonged toUuiou soldiers who died during the war near the places designated. Tho other box contaiucd a lot of articles cap- tured bv Gen. Sherman's troops at Camden, S. C, in tho early part of 1663. Thoy consist of family nlato. iewclrr. etc. which had boon do- - posited in a bank at Camden by Mr. McKao and other wealthy residents of that section. An inventory has been made aud it is thought the articles can bo easily identified by their own- ers. They will be restored upon application, accompanied by satisfactory cvidenco ofown-orshi- p. Tlio two hoxos roferred to contain all tbo property or tho character described now in tho United States Treasury, oxcept possibly the presentation swords belonging to Gen. Twiggs, aud captured by Gen. Butler in New Orleans. It is an unsettled question as j'et whether these swords am bo lestored under tho provis- ions of tho act referred to above. All tho other articles mentioned which have not boon re- stored by April next will bo advertised, aud such as 6hall still remain in tho Treasury for ono year from that time will be sold at public auction. TIIK OOVKUKMEIfT ON A VACATON. Tho President docs not intend lo bo bothered with any business while absent unless Mr. Bay- ard's bcrap with Mexico shall assume a moro serious aspect or something clso happens to de mand attention. Ho has given directions that bo otlicial mail bhall bo forwarded to him. Any public business requiring his immediato con- sideration will he brought to his attention by the Cabinet officers. To tho numerous special correspondents who asked to accompany him upon his trip tho President said that ho was sure tbo public did not desire that minute details should ho given of all his movements during his vacation, as such a course would utterly defeat thu object aud purposes of his trip. In recognition, howover, of pardonablo curiosity as to any incident of interest th&t may take place, ko has himself made arrange- ments whereby asy thing that the public ought to know couceruiug his movements will bo fur-ubdi-cd tho agents of the regular press associa- tions. All tho mcuVbe&sof tho Cabinet are away ox- cept the Secretary f State. Tho doparturo of the President lettrcs Mr. Bayard to run tho Government, although tho latter has the assist- ance f a larg aud able corps of correspond-eut- s. Tbo truth is, however, that tho newspa- per men have heeu a great crohe to Mr. Bayard. Between tho fisheries troublo and tho Cuttiug case they have kept him in hot water for months. It has boon talked around oflato that he contemplates retirement to private lire The rumor is given for what it is worth, and that probably is not much. Mr. Bayard has borno up bravely under his domustic bereavements, which havo weighed heavily upon him. Tho annoyances connected with his recent official life havo tried him sorely. His faco has a worn and troubled look, and it would not he strange if lie should desire rest from tho tribulations of political lifo. In any event ho is not likely to retire until ho gets the Mexican imbroglio off his hands. THE AUMY'S SUnaLOX-GEKEUA- L. In its last issue The National Tiubune noted that the President had designated Col. J. H. Baxter, Chier Medical Purvoyor or the Army, to act as Surgeon-Gener- al uutil ho should make a permanent appointment, aud said: "Army officers say Dr. Baxter's designation in- dicates the President's determination to ap- point him." Alive to the intorostsot its readers always furnitthing the latest and most reliablo news before it is given to tho goneral public its rep- resentative has ascertained that tho Secretary of War has recommended the promotion of Dr. Baxter; but not to lr.tut.cciid tbo customary rules of propriety, and appear to havo misplaced confidence, we only say : " It is understood that the Secretary of War," otc Col.

Last week nn ordor was issued from tho Navy Department closing up all the bureaus at thu Waohuigtou Navy Yard oxcept thoae of Equipment and Ordnance. Those to ho closed are Steam Engineering, Docks and Yards, Navigation, Construction, and Provision aud Clothiug. Operations at this yard will bo con-1- 1 nod to equipment aud orduauco work, for which thoro will bo provided an enlarged plant. Thu work done there iu these branches thus far has been so satisfactory to the Secre- tary aud to Congress that tho yard will bo fully equipped and made the permanent ord-nau- co works. The appropriation now mado fur plant aud works is only $l,lf0,000, but tho amount of work and tho appropriations will increase as the various new vessels contem- plated bucomo ready for armament. Tho order does not go into olfect until tho ltt of October. BMALI. CHANGE WANTED. Demands for minor coin, principally ono, five and 10-uu- pieces, are constantly being rccolved at tho Treasury Department from all parts of the country. The supply of these coins ou hand is entirely inadequate to meet tho calls for them, and it has been found nec- essary to call on the United States mints for an additional supply. Sup't Fox, of tho Phila- delphia Mint, had on interview with Acting THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHLWT0&, D. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1886. Secretary Fairchild on this subject, and in- formed him that ho thought ho would bo ablo inside of 30 days to supply all demands. IMMEDIATE DELIVEUY.

Miss Kichardson has told somo friends that tho prospoctivo bridegroom was a six-fo- ot farmer, who has spent all his lifo looking after thocrop3 on his farm, and that ho was just tho opposito of his betrothed in ap- pearance and in tastes.

Tho tri-Sta- to Veteran Association Reunion held at Ft. Wayno on tho 111th, 20th, 21st, 22d, 23d and 21th insts., was very largely attouded. On tho second day Gcu. Kosccrans was on tho grounds and received aw ovation from tho old soldiers, many of whom fought with him dur- ing tho war. On tho 21st thero was a grand parado, which was participated in by tho Grand Army Posts and tho military companies. Gon. Phil Sheridan passed through Warsaw on tho 20th en route to Washington. A committee was scut out to meet him and extend an invi- tation to him to attend tho Reunion. This ho declined to do, being compelled to continue his journey. Ho made, however, a short speech to tho boys, which was greeted with vociferous " applause. Thero was oue ovent, howover, which to some extent marred tho plcasuro of tho occasion, aud that was tho troublo between Dr. John Youngc, Adjutant-Genera- l of tho as- sociation, and somo of tho officers connected therewith. It seems that tho Doctor was desir- ous of having the Reunion held at Toledo, and visited that point for that purposo, but he was overruled and Ft. Wayno was selected. Tho matter culminated on tho 20th in Adjt.-Gc- n. Youngo getting out a warrant for tho arrest of Scott Swann.Tom Sullivan, Secretary, and James Harper, Quartermaster of tho Association ou tho ground of criminal libel. Thero was treat excitement, and tho a officers woro provontod from serving tho war-an- ts on tho comrades named. (A more detailed account of tho Reunion will appear in next week's National Tribune.) Tho city of Des Moines put on its holiday attire last woek for tho Mexican war Vet- erans' Reunion. Tho attendance was vory largo. In tho absonco of tho President, Gon. WT. Denver, tho Vico-Presidc- Gen. M. D. Manson, of Indiana, presided at the preliminary meeting. Amoug tho prominent members present wero Col. John Col well, or Ohio; Col. A. F. Rogers, or Illinois; Gen. Josiah Given, of Iowa; Col. W. T. Show, or tho Kj-- . Vols., now or Ohio; Col. John Scott, also or Kentucky, and Col. Brackctt, or the U. S. Regulars, now sta-tiou- od at El Paso, Tex. More Folly at Niagara. On Sunday Wr. J. Kendall, a Boston pollco-ma- u, accomplished tho feat of safely swimming tho whirlpool rapids below Niagara Falls. At- tempts iu tho past have cost tho lives of Capt. Webb and other famous swimmers. Kendall is the first man who over swam through and camo out alive. Relating his experience ho said that when ho reached tho spot where Capt Webb is supposed to havo lost his lifo tho water seemed to go from under him, and a hugo wavo struck him on tho head and shoulders, knock- ing him senseless. Ho found his swimming abilities of uo uso whatever, and never ex- pected to como out alivo. When cutering tho whirlpool ho was so benumbed and partly un- conscious that ho could not uso a limb, and did not know what ho was doiug. Tho current took him right into the main eddy, and sucked him down liko a flash, keeping him under fully 15 seconds. Upon reaching tho under- current ho was shot out of tho pool fully 50 foct from its center. When ho roached the surfaco of tho water ho had partly regained consciousness, and, knowing thero was no tirao to spare beforo ho would bo dashed down to tho lower rapids, ho swam to the shore. Whilo landing ho was so overcome that he again bo-ca- unconscious, and his assistants wcro fully half an hour occupiod in reviving him with the aid of stimulants and by rubbing. Whon asked if he would ovor make another trip ho most emphatically Baid, "No; thoro's not enough moaoy in the world to induce mo to ro- - this afternoon's experienco; a child would Eoat tho samo ckauco to go through tho rapids and come out all right as an oxport swimmer." Now comes Adam Forepangh, jr., nnd says that on Sept. 13 ho will havo his famous horse Bloudin walk ovor a tight rope stretched rrom shore to shore just bolow the falls. Mr. Fore- - paugh says : " The idea is to stretch a two or threo-iiic- h steel oblo across, either on tho brink of or a little bolow tho falls. The wire will havo to be wrapped with cotton cord, so that Blondiu's rubber shoes will stick to it. Blondin is a Morgan colt, Adam, jr., bought near West Chester, Pa., thrco years ago. Ho was four years old last Spring. He is Hi hands high, is compactly built, and weighs 600 pounds. Adam began training him at Philadelphia early last Fall to walk the rope. At first the rope was placed only two feet from tho ground, but be- fore tho circus started out ho could do a two aud 30 feet long and 20 from tho ground. Ho goes backward as well as for- ward, aud has never yet had a fall. Ho has no rear whatever or falling, and I don't think thero is any doubt but that ho will go over tho falls all right on a still day. He wears a patent rubber shoo, and is very careful and surefooted. It is easier for a horso to walk a ropo than a man, after ho kuows how, for ho has more legs to balanco himself with. Animals aro not credited with half the intelligence they pos- - II soss. Tlio Mlno Mint be Their Tomb. In answer to the request or Gov. Pattison, or Pennsylvania, as to whether further stops can- not be taken to recover the bodies of tho men who perished in tho mine at Nauticoke, tho owners of the colliery, the Susquehanna Coal Company, say that tho task is impossible, aud they are sustained iu this view by Miuo In- spector Williams. In tho first place, even if tho earth should by a miraclo opeu up and lay baro tho spot whero the men perished, nothing would bo found but the bones of the unfortu- nate men. Again, any number of men might ho employed for six months aud still would not bo able to find tho bodies. A Solitary Horseman. Arhcutato 7Vartu"er. Capt. Nigglesworth, who is a candidate for the Legislature, stopped at the unpretentious house of old Sam Saber. After supper, whilo tho caudidatu was silting on tho porch smokiug a cigar, Saber's little boy shyly approached. " Como here, my sou. Sit on my knee. Now you're .fixed. Do you go to school ? " " No ; but me and Dick killed a wator mocca- sin yistidy." "You did?" "Ah, hah." " Wore you not armid ho would bito you?" 41 Ho, ho couldn't bite me.

"Yes; whou ho eccd you comin' ho said, 'Yonder comes that blamed fool. Ho thinks ho's goin' to tho Legislature but ho aint got sense enough to holler when ho's dog hit.' That's what my pap said."

THE SOLDIERS' ROLL Of the Houscand How it is Protected by- - Legislation. To the Editor: It appears from recent cor- respondence in the daily press that Doorkeeper Donclson, of tho Houso of Representatives, has been contemplating a raid on tho soldiers' roll in consequence of tho absence of a provision in tho legislative bill of tho next fiscal year to relnin or proveut tho romoval of mcssongers'on said roll, and honco it is optional with tho Doorkeeper to retain them or uot. This is a mistake, which can readily bo ascer- tained by a careful reference to the provisions in prior bills on this subject. Tho provision incorporated in the legislative appropriation bill of tho second session of the 4ath Congress ex- pressly provides against any iutorferenco with tho soldiers' roll in tho absonco of action by tho House. It will readily ho seen by a reference to said provision that tho phraseology is different from that inserted, in any preceding appropriation bill sinco tho organization of tho soldiers' roll. All provisions in preceding legislative appro- priation bills simply provided for tho retention of messengers ou eaid roll during the availa- bility and cllcct or said bill. In other words, they wcro ouly carried from one hill to tho other. Rut it will bo observed that tho neces- sity or inserting a provision in each succeeding appropriation bill has been obviated by a chango or tho phraseology in tho provision of tho legis- lative bill of tho lSth Congress, to wit: "And hereafter messengers on thu soldiers' roll shall uot bo removed oxcept for causo reported to and approved by tho House." Hcrctoforo it read, not subject to removal, except for cause." Tho words "And hereafter" wero expressly inserted to avoid tho necessity of providing specifically in every legislative billon this subject. It will not do to say that the usual provision for a "soldiers' roll" was omitted in tho legislative hill this year. The Committcoon Appropriations considered that tho soldiers' roll was amply provided for in tho preceding hill, which is the law on tho sub- ject uutil othcrwiso repealed. Tho Doorkeeper well understands tho object and purposo of tho House in inserting that clauso, "And hereafter shall not bo removed." It was put thoro to provide for tho future as well to guard against proutless discussion on every appropriation hill arising ou points of order. It is true that ono Congress cannot onact a law or this kind that will ho binding on a sub- sequent Congress, but after an act receives tho approval of tho President it is then a law until it is repealed by a subsequent Cougrcss, nud tho provision referred to in referenco to the sol- diers' roll is a law until otherwise ordained by Congress. The Doorkeeper or tho Houso is nn executive officer, and it is his duty to respect and obey thu law. Ho is not vc3tod with judicial power, and henco cannot pass upon the legality or con- stitutionality of tho provisions incorporated in any appropriation bill, nor cun ho enact or ro-pe- al a law. Tho fact that it is alleged that 10 disabled soldiers on tho roll are Republicans will not justify him setting asido a provision of law. But what are tho facts in reference to the political status of tho soldiers' roll? It will bo remembered that tho soldiers' roll was organized aud inspired by Judge Holman, of Indiana, aud incorporated in tho executive, legislative and judicial appropriation bill of tbo 41th Cougrcss. first session. Prior to that tinio disabled soldiers' were employed in difler-e- nt capacities about tho Houso uudertho Door- keeper, and carried on a special list, and pro- vided for by special appropriations, and not until tho first session oCtho Congre33 was it designated the "soldiers' roll." Tho political status of tho roll is tho samo to-da- y that it was when organized, with this difference, namely, that seven of the present number wcro appointed by Democratic Members aud sovon by Republican Members, and when organized five wero appointed by Democrats nud nine by Republicans. Tho roll maintained this status until Doorkeeper Polk employed methods of his own invention to get rid of them during his brief administration in tho 45th Congress. Crutches and empty sleeves soon vanished from tho doors and corridors of the Capitol, and men who could not toll the differeuco between a mountain howitzer aud a sewing-machin-e wero inducted into places hold by the mutilated vet- erans and paraded the corridors with tho airs of carpet-bagge- rs aad tho impudence of desert- ers. Eight one-arm- ed and ono-legg- cd soldiers were removed from the roll and eight ablo-bodie- d men assigned to thoir places, many of whom wcro in their swaddling clothes when tho men whoso places they were assigned to fill were languishing in hospitals, wounded aud bleed- ing. But this fact did uot deter Mr. Polk, as it was in accordance with tho fitness of things from his standpoint. The eight soldiers re- moved woro Republicans, and the Ropublicaus, when thoy regained power in tho 47th Con- gress, reinstated the crippled soldiers, who camo hobbling back to their places. Ono of tho first acts of tho Republican cau- cus was lo pass a resolution olfured by that faithful soldiers friond, Gen. Henderson, of Illinois, to retain tho crippled soldiers on said roll. After tho orgauization of tho 47th Con- gress, Col. W. P. Browulow removed tho eight able-bodie- d men and appointed in their places tho crippled soldiers whom Mr. Polk had driven from the Capitol thoy gavo their limbs to save, thu3 restoring tho roll to its origiual status, what the law contemplated it to bo, to wit, a crippled aud disabled Uuiou soldiers' roll, 14 in number. The word " Uuiou " was inserted, so as to mako tho roll non-partisa- n, becauso thero wero no political soldiors iu the war. Tho only qualification for place on said roll was to bo a crippled or disabled Union soldier with an honorable dischargo. So far as wo are able to ascertain no disabled soldier has been discharged sinco the organization of tho roll, until the present time, ou account of politics, oxcept by Doorkeeper Polk iu tho 45th Con gress. Doorkeepers Fitzhugh, Patterson, Field, Wiutcrsmith aud Donolson, have honored the soldiers' roll, nud thero is no reason why it should not ho honored in the future It is not necessary to repeat that Col. Browu- low honored it, as ho had on many occasions complimented them for a faithful discharge of duty, and resisted every pressure aud impor- tunity coming from disappointed outs and jealous-minde- d ius, aud handed tho roll ovor to his successor composed of 14 crippled and disabled soldiers five of whom camo over to him from a Democratic Cougrcss, and tho re- maining nine were Republicans. Strenuous ellbrls had been made to induce Mr. Browniow to mako a place ou tho soldiers' roll for a Re- publican soldier who had lost both feet iu tho war. But iu order to do this ho would bo obliged to remove a disabled Democratic sol- dier, aud this ho firmly refused to do, by declar- ing that he would nut discharge ono cripplo to make a place for another. Two vacancies have occurred on saidroll since thu 47th Congress; ono occasioned by.the resignation or Cupt. Henry Cliffduriug tho lirstsc3siounftho4Sth Congress, and tho other by thedeath of Gon. Staunard during thu sa-io-u just closed. Both were Re- publicans aud both vacancies were filled by the appointment) of Republican disabled sol- diers to wit, Fernando Pago, both legs olT, appointed by Doorkeeper James Wiutcrsmith (deceased), on tbo rccommeudatiou of tho Michigau delegation, nud Mr. Wilson, of Illi- nois, who was recently appointed by Door- keeper Donclson, ou ,tho recommendation of tho Illinois delegation, to fill the vacancy occa-siou- ed bj tho death o; Geu. Staunard, of Ver- mont. This establishes tho uou-parti-- fea- ture of the roll, as Democratic Doorkeepers aud Democratic delegations havo appointed Republican soldiers to fill vacancies occasioned by the death or lUiiguation of Republican sol-dio- ra ou said roll, and it also establishes tho Tact that as tho roll now stands seven have been appointed by Democrats and seven by Republicans. Tho roll is composed of men of every grade iu tho service, from private to General, aud all have suffered misfortunes and disabilities which are equal iu character. They are meu who left politics at home when they went to the battlctiold, aud stood side by side, not as Republican or Democratic soldiers, hut as Union soldiors. They nover permitted poli- tics to impair their patriotism, nor to disturb that harmony aud unity of purposo which was so essential to success in war; aud those who wero deprived of their usefulness for lifo iu defense or thoir country aro entitled to equal and impartial treatment at tho hands of tho Government thoy gave so much to save. Thero is a warm aud strong bond of sympathy exist- ing between Union soldiers that politics can- not sever, aud a blow at ono is a blow at all. Yeteean. BEATING THE SHARPERS. Comrades Yfho TTere Too Shrewd for the Banco Hen. San Francisco Chronicle. Notwithstanding- - the popular newspaper fic- tion of sharpers meeting green strangers and getting hoist by their own petard, tho fact is that when an oxpert confidence man puts his ten- tacles upon a "sucker "something usually comes before he lets go. Tho Encampment here has furnished a few bona-fid- o exceptions to the rule that aro worthy of chronicling. The low fares aud the presence of so vast a number of stran- gers have, of courso, drawn a great number of sharks to San Francisco. This cl;i33 is distinct from pickpockets aud thiove3. It is formed of confidence operators, pure and simplo, prepared to fleeco the Grand Army of tho Republic at nny thing from bunco to monto. Some of them como from Chicago, somo from St. Louis, and thoro are two or thrco faces on tho street that aro familiar to Inspector Byrnes and his detec- tives at New York. Oue of tho metropolitan "outfit" was lamenting his lack of luck to a party of friends in a Kearny street sporting resort last ovoning. "Iliad been reading np army history for about a month," ho said, "and was well posted on tho leading battles. You seo I wanted to bo ablo to talk to tho vetoraus, but it turned out that it got mo into a pretty tight fix. I got acquainted with an old fellow yesterday and found out that ho had been in the battle of Gettysburg. I wanted to draw him into a poker gamo, and to mako myself solid, and said: ' Why, I was in that fight, too.' " Is that so ?' ho said. ' You aint a G.A.R. man, are you?' 1,4 No,' I answered; 'I don't care to join for private rcasous.' "'So you woro at Gettysburg?' the old fellow went on. ' What division, now, did yoa belong to?' "'ToSickles's.' " Yes, yes why, I belonged to that, too. Whero were you the night after tho first day'3 fighting?' "'I slept in a barn on Culp'3 Hill,' I an- swered, cautioiuly, for I folt I was getting into deep water. "'No!' ho exclaimed. 'What kind of a look- ing barn was it?' " ' Well,' I said, at random, 'as near as I re- member it was a small, single-stor- y building, with ono sido partly blown out.' " No ! Was thoro a straw-ric- k in it ? ' " ' I don't know,' I said, desperately; Ibeliovo there was.' "'You don't say so?' ho replied; 'and the manger busted?' "Yes; I think so.' " ' Was thero another fellow in there with you?' 'I think thoro was,' I said, liko a blame fool, not knowing what wa3 coming. "You scoundrel, you!' yelled tho old man, ' that was mo ! Give me back my wallet I ' "Whatwallot?' " O; you know well enough ! Tho blastod thief that slept with me that night stole my wallet and $200 in greenbacks. I've boon look- ing for him now for 25 years. I thought I knowed you when you come up! "It took mo somo of tho hardest talking I over did in my lifo to get rid of him. I don't want any moro Grand Army in mine." Another story is told in tho Oregon head- quarters. It seems that a couplo of smooth- tongued gentry fastened on to ono of the vet- oraus, and proposed to go out and see tho town. Ho agreed, but beforo starting ho excused him- self u. minute, and stated on coming back that he had left his money with a friend for safe keeping, and only taken along a few dollars. Thoy told him it wa3 all right if he knew where he could find his friend when ho wanted him. Ho said ho did, aud the party started out. Tho two confidonco men spout about $10 apieco entertaining tho victim, and then pro- posed that ho look up his friond, get his cuh, and play poker. "1 can't get it from him said the veteran. " Why, I thought yoa knew whero to find him," protested ono of tho sharps. " So I do," said tho veteran, " but it happens he's tho same friend on wboso account I'm wearing this badge. I mean Uncle Sam. Yoa see, for precaution, I put my money in an onvelopo beforo I started, addressing it t my-solf.a- nd dropped it in tbo letter-bo- x.

" It isn't becauso it's a vile habit that ia going to carry me down to an early grave, or anything of that sort. Ono placed mo, or rather a young lady, in a very embarrassing position. Thoro is a cortain charming young lady on St. Anthony Hill whom I should liko very muoh to mako my wifo, and I know she feels as I do. But I am not yet able to support a wife, so I have never said a word to the young lady's parents. Well, the other ovening sha and I took a stroll. It was about half-pa-st 9 when wo returned to tho house, so I did not go in. Wo stood chatting a few moments, and I light- ed a cigarct. When sho wont into the house I of courso kissed her good night. Well, with- out giving it a thought, sho went in, bade her mother good night, and kissed her also. The old lady immediately detected the odor of tho cigaret on hor daughter's lips, aud questioned her about it. Tho poor girl had oithor to ac- knowledge that I kissed her or that sho smoked a cigaret. When tho young lady told mo about it I had not tho courage to ask her what courso sho chose. Now yoa know why cigar-ct- s and I will bo Btrangera in the future." TIIK BED ACOUX.

Published by tho author. Sioux Fulls, Dakota. This is believed to be the first book ever pub- lished in the Territory of Dakota. It3 object is not only to present what tho writer belioves to be tho only peaceable and permanent solu- tion of the industrial problem, but also to as- sist in forcing tho labor question into politics with a well-define- d object in view. The writer steps a long way ahead of tho procession in ar- guing that the General Government ought and operate not only all railroads and tel- egraphs, but tho manufactories of tho country.

CbIi 11 ptiunds. These dispatches worked'Up the pooplc of Washington into a delirium ofoxoitomoiit. Tlie climax of wild hilarity wasreached whon it was told that "Mrs. Clevelandand Dr. Ward lauded abuauty weighing a poundand a half." The fact that this seemed to bo ajoint aflair did not prevent all the glory beingawardod to the fair bride. Nobody cared anything about Dr. Ward or his putativo Bharo inthe achievement.

The luouibors of tho United States Fish Cora-missi- on

view with alarm the havoc beingwrought by Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland among the" speckled beauties," as the ollicial reportercalls thorn. If the devastation continues dur-ing the President's month oil' at tho samo rateof increase there will not bi any fish loft. Tho(Commissionors draw the line at extermination.They do not rolish xho prospect of haviug thowork of years undone, oven by a parly of an-iglo- rs

from the White lloute. They are now ar-ranging to run thoir hatcheries "double turn "for some lime to come, to repair tho ravage oftho President and his wife.

The brilliant record of tho week lias notonly maintained the high standard of skillwith the rod established by President Arthur,but Mr. Jluyard also feels that it has fully vin-dicated the fisheries policy of the Administra-tion. The Hags on tho State Department andother buildings have been pulled up a fewinches higher thau usual the ast few days.The Goddess of Liberty ou the domo of thoCapitol has been lieeu to wavo her cap oxult-aiitf- y,

and tho big bronzo onglo in tho War De-partment has been screaming at intervals.When tho President wont away Mr. Bayardassured him that if the British' Lion shouldwhirik his tail ovor into tho Adirondack woodsto disturb his peaceful pleasures, tho wholepower of the Government would bo invoked'for his protection. Gen. Sheridan declaredhimself ready to call out tho troops if necessary;while Secretary Whitney planned with Oapt.Ends, tho ship-railwa- y wan, t transfer theTallapoosa or mc other terror of the se4 totho mountains and turn Imrloonoupoti tho fish-lin- g

THE BI'OII.S OF WAK.

Sometime ago Acting Secretary Fairclrild in-

structed Mr. Krites, Chief of tho Division ofAbandoned Property, to carry into ollect thoprovisions of tho act of Congress authorizingthe Secretary of tho Treasury to deliver to thorightful owners cortain articles of jewolryrctc,captured by tho United States army during thocivil war and deposited in tho Treasury De-

partment. Mr. Krites has accordingly pro-pare- d

rules aud regulations which will governtho restoration or all such articles, and has justconcluded nil examination or tho articles ondeposit. They aro contained in two boxes andconsist or silverware, jewelry, watches, por-

traits, otc. Ono or tho boxes contained nearly.WO watches, gold, silver and brass, and a num-ber or jack-knive- s, pocketbooks, letters, etcTheso were mainly taken rrom prisoners of warwho died in hospitals around Washington,Cape Lookout aud Elinira, and were depositedin tho Treasury by Gen. Ketcham. Somo ofthem, however, belonged toUuiou soldiers whodied during the war near the places designated.Tho other box contaiucd a lot of articles cap-

tured bv Gen. Sherman's troops at Camden, S.C, in tho early part of 1663. Thoy consist offamily nlato. iewclrr. etc. which had boon do- -

posited in a bank at Camden by Mr. McKao andother wealthy residents of that section. Aninventory has been made aud it is thought thearticles can bo easily identified by their own-ers. They will be restored upon application,accompanied by satisfactory cvidenco ofown-orshi- p.

Tlio two hoxos roferred to contain alltbo property or tho character described now intho United States Treasury, oxcept possibly thepresentation swords belonging to Gen. Twiggs,aud captured by Gen. Butler in New Orleans.It is an unsettled question as j'et whetherthese swords am bo lestored under tho provis-ions of tho act referred to above. All tho otherarticles mentioned which have not boon re-

stored by April next will bo advertised, audsuch as 6hall still remain in tho Treasury forono year from that time will be sold at publicauction.

TIIK OOVKUKMEIfT ON A VACATON.

Tho President docs not intend lo bo botheredwith any business while absent unless Mr. Bay-ard's bcrap with Mexico shall assume a moroserious aspect or something clso happens to demand attention. Ho has given directions thatbo otlicial mail bhall bo forwarded to him. Anypublic business requiring his immediato con-

sideration will he brought to his attention bythe Cabinet officers. To tho numerous specialcorrespondents who asked to accompany himupon his trip tho President said that ho wassure tbo public did not desire that minutedetails should ho given of all his movementsduring his vacation, as such a course wouldutterly defeat thu object aud purposes of histrip. In recognition, howover, of pardonablocuriosity as to any incident of interest th&tmay take place, ko has himself made arrange-ments whereby asy thing that the public oughtto know couceruiug his movements will bo fur-ubdi-cd

tho agents of the regular press associa-tions.

All tho mcuVbe&sof tho Cabinet are away ox-cept the Secretary f State. Tho doparturo ofthe President lettrcs Mr. Bayard to run thoGovernment, although tho latter has the assist-ance f a larg aud able corps of correspond-eut- s.

Tbo truth is, however, that tho newspa-per men have heeu a great crohe to Mr. Bayard.Between tho fisheries troublo and tho Cuttiugcase they have kept him in hot water formonths. It has boon talked around oflato thathe contemplates retirement to private lire Therumor is given for what it is worth, and thatprobably is not much. Mr. Bayard has bornoup bravely under his domustic bereavements,which havo weighed heavily upon him. Thoannoyances connected with his recent officiallife havo tried him sorely. His faco has a wornand troubled look, and it would not he strangeif lie should desire rest from tho tribulations ofpolitical lifo. In any event ho is not likely toretire until ho gets the Mexican imbroglio offhis hands.

THE AUMY'S SUnaLOX-GEKEUA- L.

In its last issue The National Tiubunenoted that the President had designated Col.J. H. Baxter, Chier Medical Purvoyor or theArmy, to act as Surgeon-Gener- al uutil ho shouldmake a permanent appointment, aud said:"Army officers say Dr. Baxter's designation in-dicates the President's determination to ap-point him."

Alive to the intorostsot its readers alwaysfurnitthing the latest and most reliablo newsbefore it is given to tho goneral public its rep-resentative has ascertained that tho Secretaryof War has recommended the promotion of Dr.Baxter; but not to lr.tut.cciid tbo customaryrules of propriety, and appear to havo misplacedconfidence, we only say : " It is understood thatthe Secretary of War," otc

Col. Baxtor entered the volunteer service asSorgoou, rjth Mast., 2(lth Juno, ldo'l; was ap-pointed Surgeon United States voluntoora 4thApril, 18G2; Brevet Colonel, J3th Maich, lr07;Lieutunaut-Colonu- l uud Assistaut Mudical Pur-veyor, iiOih July, lt7; Chief Medical Pur-veyor, Pith March, ldW.and Colonel, 23d June,187G.

He is the senior officer or his corps, and a manor great experience in tho profession or modi-oin- o.

Last week nn ordor was issued from thoNavy Department closing up all the bureaus atthu Waohuigtou Navy Yard oxcept thoae ofEquipment and Ordnance. Those to ho closedare Steam Engineering, Docks and Yards,Navigation, Construction, and Provision audClothiug. Operations at this yard will bo con-1- 1

nod to equipment aud orduauco work, forwhich thoro will bo provided an enlargedplant. Thu work done there iu these branchesthus far has been so satisfactory to the Secre-tary aud to Congress that tho yard will bofully equipped and made the permanent ord-nau- co

works. The appropriation now madofur plant aud works is only $l,lf0,000, but thoamount of work and tho appropriations willincrease as the various new vessels contem-plated bucomo ready for armament. Thoorder does not go into olfect until tho ltt ofOctober.

BMALI. CHANGE WANTED.Demands for minor coin, principally ono,

five and 10-uu- pieces, are constantly beingrccolved at tho Treasury Department from allparts of the country. The supply of thesecoins ou hand is entirely inadequate to meettho calls for them, and it has been found nec-essary to call on the United States mints foran additional supply. Sup't Fox, of tho Phila-delphia Mint, had on interview with Acting

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHLWT0&, D. C, THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1886.

formed him that ho thought ho would bo abloinside of 30 days to supply all demands.

TRI-STAT- E.

Grand Reunion of Veterans at Tort Wayne.Tho tri-Sta- to Veteran Association Reunion

held at Ft. Wayno on tho 111th, 20th, 21st, 22d,23d and 21th insts., was very largely attouded.On tho second day Gcu. Kosccrans was on thogrounds and received aw ovation from tho oldsoldiers, many of whom fought with him dur-ing tho war. On tho 21st thero was a grandparado, which was participated in by tho GrandArmy Posts and tho military companies. Gon.Phil Sheridan passed through Warsaw on tho20th en route to Washington. A committeewas scut out to meet him and extend an invi-tation to him to attend tho Reunion. This hodeclined to do, being compelled to continue hisjourney. Ho made, however, a short speech totho boys, which was greeted with vociferous "applause. Thero was oue ovent, howover,which to some extent marred tho plcasuro oftho occasion, aud that was tho troublo betweenDr. John Youngc, Adjutant-Genera- l of tho as-

sociation, and somo of tho officers connectedtherewith. It seems that tho Doctor was desir-ous of having the Reunion held at Toledo, andvisited that point for that purposo, but he wasoverruled and Ft. Wayno was selected. Thomatter culminated on tho 20th in Adjt.-Gc- n.

Youngo getting out a warrantfor tho arrest of Scott Swann.Tom Sullivan,Secretary, and James Harper, Quartermaster oftho Association ou tho ground of criminallibel. Thero was treat excitement, and tho aofficers woro provontod from serving tho war-an- ts

on tho comrades named. (A more detailedaccount of tho Reunion will appear in nextweek's National Tribune.)

Tho city of Des Moines put on its holidayattire last woek for tho Mexican war Vet-erans' Reunion. Tho attendance was vorylargo. In tho absonco of tho President, Gon.WT. Denver, tho Vico-Presidc- Gen.

More Folly at Niagara.

On Sunday Wr. J. Kendall, a Boston pollco-ma- u,

accomplished tho feat of safely swimmingtho whirlpool rapids below Niagara Falls. At-tempts iu tho past have cost tho lives of Capt.Webb and other famous swimmers. Kendall isthe first man who over swam through andcamo out alive. Relating his experience hosaid that when ho reached tho spot where CaptWebb is supposed to havo lost his lifo tho waterseemed to go from under him, and a hugo wavostruck him on tho head and shoulders, knock-ing him senseless. Ho found his swimmingabilities of uo uso whatever, and never ex-

pected to como out alivo. When cutering thowhirlpool ho was so benumbed and partly un-conscious that ho could not uso a limb, and didnot know what ho was doiug. Tho currenttook him right into the main eddy, and suckedhim down liko a flash, keeping him underfully 15 seconds. Upon reaching tho under-current ho was shot out of tho pool fully 50foct from its center. When ho roached thesurfaco of tho water ho had partly regainedconsciousness, and, knowing thero was no tiraoto spare beforo ho would bo dashed down to tholower rapids, ho swam to the shore. Whilolanding ho was so overcome that he again bo-ca-

unconscious, and his assistants wcro fullyhalf an hour occupiod in reviving him withthe aid of stimulants and by rubbing. Whonasked if he would ovor make another trip homost emphatically Baid, "No; thoro's notenough moaoy in the world to induce mo to ro--

this afternoon's experienco; a child wouldEoat tho samo ckauco to go through tho rapidsand come out all right as an oxport swimmer."

Now comes Adam Forepangh, jr., nnd saysthat on Sept. 13 ho will havo his famous horseBloudin walk ovor a tight rope stretched rromshore to shore just bolow the falls. Mr. Fore--

paugh says : " The idea is to stretch a two orthreo-iiic- h steel oblo across, either on tho brinkof or a little bolow tho falls. The wire willhavo to be wrapped with cotton cord, so thatBlondiu's rubber shoes will stick to it. Blondinis a Morgan colt, Adam, jr., bought near WestChester, Pa., thrco years ago. Ho was fouryears old last Spring. He is Hi hands high, iscompactly built, and weighs 600 pounds. Adambegan training him at Philadelphia early lastFall to walk the rope. At first the rope wasplaced only two feet from tho ground, but be-

fore tho circus started out ho could do a twoaud 30 feet long and 20 fromtho ground. Ho goes backward as well as for-

ward, aud has never yet had a fall. Ho hasno rear whatever or falling, and I don't thinkthero is any doubt but that ho will go over thofalls all right on a still day. He wears a patentrubber shoo, and is very careful and surefooted.It is easier for a horso to walk a ropo than aman, after ho kuows how, for ho has more legsto balanco himself with. Animals aro notcredited with half the intelligence they pos- -

IIsoss.

Tlio Mlno Mint be Their Tomb.

In answer to the request or Gov. Pattison, orPennsylvania, as to whether further stops can-

not be taken to recover the bodies of tho menwho perished in tho mine at Nauticoke, thoowners of the colliery, the Susquehanna CoalCompany, say that tho task is impossible, audthey are sustained iu this view by Miuo In-spector Williams. In tho first place, even iftho earth should by a miraclo opeu up and laybaro tho spot whero the men perished, nothingwould bo found but the bones of the unfortu-nate men. Again, any number of men might hoemployed for six months aud still would not boable to find tho bodies.

A Solitary Horseman.Arhcutato 7Vartu"er.

Capt. Nigglesworth, who is a candidate forthe Legislature, stopped at the unpretentioushouse of old Sam Saber. After supper, whilotho caudidatu was silting on tho porch smokiuga cigar, Saber's little boy shyly approached.

" Como here, my sou. Sit on my knee. Nowyou're .fixed. Do you go to school ? "

" No ; but me and Dick killed a wator mocca-sin yistidy."

"You did?""Ah, hah."" Wore you not armid ho would bito you?"41 Ho, ho couldn't bite me. I could git outcn

THE SOLDIERS' ROLL

Of the Houscand How it is Protected

by- - Legislation.

To the Editor: It appears from recent cor-

respondence in the daily press that DoorkeeperDonclson, of tho Houso of Representatives, hasbeen contemplating a raid on tho soldiers' rollin consequence of tho absence of a provision intho legislative bill of tho next fiscal year torelnin or proveut tho romoval of mcssongers'onsaid roll, and honco it is optional with thoDoorkeeper to retain them or uot.

This is a mistake, which can readily bo ascer-tained by a careful reference to the provisionsin prior bills on this subject. Tho provisionincorporated in the legislative appropriation billof tho second session of the 4ath Congress ex-

pressly provides against any iutorferenco withtho soldiers' roll in tho absonco of action bytho House.

It will readily ho seen by a reference to saidprovision that tho phraseology is different fromthat inserted, in any preceding appropriationbill sinco tho organization of tho soldiers' roll.All provisions in preceding legislative appro-priation bills simply provided for tho retentionof messengers ou eaid roll during the availa-bility and cllcct or said bill. In other words,they wcro ouly carried from one hill to thoother. Rut it will bo observed that tho neces-sity or inserting a provision in each succeedingappropriation bill has been obviated by a changoor tho phraseology in tho provision of tho legis-lative bill of tho lSth Congress, to wit: "Andhereafter messengers on thu soldiers' roll shalluot bo removed oxcept for causo reported to andapproved by tho House." Hcrctoforo it read,

not subject to removal, except for cause." Thowords "And hereafter" wero expressly insertedto avoid tho necessity of providing specificallyin every legislative billon this subject. It willnot do to say that the usual provision for a"soldiers' roll" was omitted in tho legislativehill this year.

The Committcoon Appropriations consideredthat tho soldiers' roll was amply provided for intho preceding hill, which is the law on tho sub-ject uutil othcrwiso repealed. Tho Doorkeeperwell understands tho object and purposo of thoHouse in inserting that clauso, "And hereaftershall not bo removed." It was put thoro toprovide for tho future as well to guard against

proutless discussion on every appropriationhill arising ou points of order.

It is true that ono Congress cannot onact alaw or this kind that will ho binding on a sub-sequent Congress, but after an act receives thoapproval of tho President it is then a law untilit is repealed by a subsequent Cougrcss, nud thoprovision referred to in referenco to the sol-diers' roll is a law until otherwise ordained byCongress.

The Doorkeeper or tho Houso is nn executiveofficer, and it is his duty to respect and obeythu law. Ho is not vc3tod with judicial power,and henco cannot pass upon the legality or con-stitutionality of tho provisions incorporated inany appropriation bill, nor cun ho enact or ro-pe- al

a law. Tho fact that it is alleged that 10disabled soldiers on tho roll are Republicanswill not justify him setting asido a provision oflaw.

But what are tho facts in reference to thepolitical status of tho soldiers' roll? It willbo remembered that tho soldiers' roll wasorganized aud inspired by Judge Holman, ofIndiana, aud incorporated in tho executive,legislative and judicial appropriation bill oftbo 41th Cougrcss. first session. Prior to thattinio disabled soldiers' were employed in difler-e- nt

capacities about tho Houso uudertho Door-keeper, and carried on a special list, and pro-vided for by special appropriations, and notuntil tho first session oCtho Congre33 wasit designated the "soldiers' roll." Tho politicalstatus of tho roll is tho samo to-da- y that itwas when organized, with this difference,namely, that seven of the present number wcroappointed by Democratic Members aud sovonby Republican Members, and when organizedfive wero appointed by Democrats nud nine byRepublicans. Tho roll maintained this statusuntil Doorkeeper Polk employed methods ofhis own invention to get rid of them during hisbrief administration in tho 45th Congress.Crutches and empty sleeves soon vanished fromtho doors and corridors of the Capitol, and menwho could not toll the differeuco between amountain howitzer aud a sewing-machin-e weroinducted into places hold by the mutilated vet-erans and paraded the corridors with tho airsof carpet-bagge- rs aad tho impudence of desert-ers.

Eight one-arm- ed and ono-legg- cd soldiers wereremoved from the roll and eight ablo-bodie- d

men assigned to thoir places, many of whomwcro in their swaddling clothes when tho menwhoso places they were assigned to fill werelanguishing in hospitals, wounded aud bleed-ing. But this fact did uot deter Mr. Polk, asit was in accordance with tho fitness of thingsfrom his standpoint. The eight soldiers re-moved woro Republicans, and the Ropublicaus,when thoy regained power in tho 47th Con-gress, reinstated the crippled soldiers, who camohobbling back to their places.

Ono of tho first acts of tho Republican cau-cus was lo pass a resolution olfured by thatfaithful soldiers friond, Gen. Henderson, ofIllinois, to retain tho crippled soldiers on saidroll. After tho orgauization of tho 47th Con-gress, Col. W. P. Browulow removed tho eightable-bodie- d men and appointed in their placestho crippled soldiers whom Mr. Polk had drivenfrom the Capitol thoy gavo their limbs to save,thu3 restoring tho roll to its origiual status,what the law contemplated it to bo, to wit, acrippled aud disabled Uuiou soldiers' roll, 14in number. The word " Uuiou " was inserted,so as to mako tho roll non-partisa- n, becausothero wero no political soldiors iu the war.

Tho only qualification for place on said rollwas to bo a crippled or disabled Union soldierwith an honorable dischargo. So far as wo areable to ascertain no disabled soldier has beendischarged sinco the organization of tho roll,until the present time, ou account of politics,oxcept by Doorkeeper Polk iu tho 45th Congress. Doorkeepers Fitzhugh, Patterson, Field,Wiutcrsmith aud Donolson, have honored thesoldiers' roll, nud thero is no reason why itshould not ho honored in the future

It is not necessary to repeat that Col. Browu-low honored it, as ho had on many occasionscomplimented them for a faithful discharge ofduty, and resisted every pressure aud impor-tunity coming from disappointed outs and

jealous-minde- d ius, aud handed tho roll ovorto his successor composed of 14 crippled anddisabled soldiers five of whom camo over tohim from a Democratic Cougrcss, and tho re-maining nine were Republicans. Strenuousellbrls had been made to induce Mr. Browniowto mako a place ou tho soldiers' roll for a Re-publican soldier who had lost both feet iu thowar. But iu order to do this ho would boobliged to remove a disabled Democratic sol-dier, aud this ho firmly refused to do, by declar-ing that he would nut discharge ono cripplo tomake a place for another. Two vacancies haveoccurred on saidroll since thu 47th Congress;ono occasioned by.the resignation or Cupt. HenryCliffduriug tho lirstsc3siounftho4Sth Congress,and tho other by thedeath of Gon. Staunardduring thu sa-io-u just closed. Both were Re-publicans aud both vacancies were filled bythe appointment) of Republican disabled sol-diers to wit, Fernando Pago, both legs olT,appointed by Doorkeeper James Wiutcrsmith(deceased), on tbo rccommeudatiou of thoMichigau delegation, nud Mr. Wilson, of Illi-nois, who was recently appointed by Door-keeper Donclson, ou ,tho recommendation oftho Illinois delegation, to fill the vacancy occa-siou- ed

bj tho death o; Geu. Staunard, of Ver-mont. This establishes tho uou-parti-- fea-ture of the roll, as Democratic Doorkeepersaud Democratic delegations havo appointedRepublican soldiers to fill vacancies occasionedby the death or lUiiguation of Republican sol-dio- ra

ou said roll, and it also establishes thoTact that as tho roll now stands seven havebeen appointed by Democrats and seven byRepublicans. Tho roll is composed of men ofevery grade iu tho service, from private toGeneral, aud all have suffered misfortunes anddisabilities which are equal iu character. Theyare meu who left politics at home when theywent to the battlctiold, aud stood side by side,not as Republican or Democratic soldiers, hutas Union soldiors. They nover permitted poli-tics to impair their patriotism, nor to disturbthat harmony aud unity of purposo which wasso essential to success in war; aud those whowero deprived of their usefulness for lifo iudefense or thoir country aro entitled to equaland impartial treatment at tho hands of thoGovernment thoy gave so much to save. Therois a warm aud strong bond of sympathy exist-ing between Union soldiers that politics can-not sever, aud a blow at ono is a blow at all.Yeteean.

BEATING THE SHARPERS.Comrades Yfho TTere Too Shrewd for the Banco

Hen.San Francisco Chronicle.

Notwithstanding- - the popular newspaper fic-

tion of sharpers meeting green strangers andgetting hoist by their own petard, tho fact is thatwhen an oxpert confidence man puts his ten-tacles upon a "sucker "something usually comesbefore he lets go. Tho Encampment here hasfurnished a few bona-fid- o exceptions to the rulethat aro worthy of chronicling. The low faresaud the presence of so vast a number of stran-gers have, of courso, drawn a great number ofsharks to San Francisco. This cl;i33 is distinctfrom pickpockets aud thiove3. It is formed ofconfidence operators, pure and simplo, preparedto fleeco the Grand Army of tho Republic atnny thing from bunco to monto. Some of themcomo from Chicago, somo from St. Louis, andthoro are two or thrco faces on tho street thataro familiar to Inspector Byrnes and his detec-tives at New York. Oue of tho metropolitan"outfit" was lamenting his lack of luck to aparty of friends in a Kearny street sportingresort last ovoning.

"Iliad been reading np army history forabout a month," ho said, "and was well postedon tho leading battles. You seo I wanted to boablo to talk to tho vetoraus, but it turned outthat it got mo into a pretty tight fix. I gotacquainted with an old fellow yesterday andfound out that ho had been in the battle ofGettysburg. I wanted to draw him into apoker gamo, and to mako myself solid, andsaid: ' Why, I was in that fight, too.'

" Is that so ?' ho said. ' You aint a G.A.R.man, are you?'

1,4 No,' I answered; 'I don't care to join forprivate rcasous.'

"'So you woro at Gettysburg?' the old fellowwent on. ' What division, now, did yoa belongto?'

"'ToSickles's.'" Yes, yes why, I belonged to that, too.

Whero were you the night after tho first day'3fighting?'

"'I slept in a barn on Culp'3 Hill,' I an-

swered, cautioiuly, for I folt I was getting intodeep water.

"'No!' ho exclaimed. 'What kind of a look-ing barn was it?'

" ' Well,' I said, at random, 'as near as I re-member it was a small, single-stor- y building,with ono sido partly blown out.'

" No ! Was thoro a straw-ric- k in it ? '" ' I don't know,' I said, desperately; Ibeliovo

there was.'"'You don't say so?' ho replied; 'and the

manger busted?'"Yes; I think so.'" ' Was thero another fellow in there with

you?''I think thoro was,' I said, liko a blame

fool, not knowing what wa3 coming."You scoundrel, you!' yelled tho old man,

' that was mo ! Give me back my wallet I '"Whatwallot?'" O; you know well enough ! Tho blastod

thief that slept with me that night stole mywallet and $200 in greenbacks. I've boon look-ing for him now for 25 years. I thought Iknowed you when you come up!

"It took mo somo of tho hardest talking Iover did in my lifo to get rid of him. I don'twant any moro Grand Army in mine."

Another story is told in tho Oregon head-quarters. It seems that a couplo of smooth-tongued gentry fastened on to ono of the vet-oraus, and proposed to go out and see tho town.Ho agreed, but beforo starting ho excused him-self u. minute, and stated on coming back thathe had left his money with a friend for safekeeping, and only taken along a few dollars.Thoy told him it wa3 all right if he knewwhere he could find his friend when ho wantedhim. Ho said ho did, aud the party startedout. Tho two confidonco men spout about $10apieco entertaining tho victim, and then pro-posed that ho look up his friond, get his cuh,and play poker.

"1 can't get it from him said theveteran.

" Why, I thought yoa knew whero to findhim," protested ono of tho sharps.

" So I do," said tho veteran, " but it happenshe's tho same friend on wboso account I'mwearing this badge. I mean Uncle Sam. Yoasee, for precaution, I put my money in anonvelopo beforo I started, addressing it t my-solf.a- nd

44 I'm going to quit smoking cigarot3," saida young man who has led moro than ono gor-raa- n.

" It isn't becauso it's a vile habit that iagoing to carry me down to an early grave, oranything of that sort. Ono placed mo, or rathera young lady, in a very embarrassing position.Thoro is a cortain charming young lady on St.Anthony Hill whom I should liko very muohto mako my wifo, and I know she feels as I do.But I am not yet able to support a wife, so Ihave never said a word to the young lady'sparents. Well, the other ovening sha and Itook a stroll. It was about half-pa-st 9 whenwo returned to tho house, so I did not go in.Wo stood chatting a few moments, and I light-ed a cigarct. When sho wont into the houseI of courso kissed her good night. Well, with-out giving it a thought, sho went in, bade hermother good night, and kissed her also. Theold lady immediately detected the odor of thocigaret on hor daughter's lips, aud questionedher about it. Tho poor girl had oithor to ac-

knowledge that I kissed her or that sho smokeda cigaret. When tho young lady told moabout it I had not tho courage to ask her whatcourso sho chose. Now yoa know why cigar-ct- s

and I will bo Btrangera in the future."

lished in the Territory of Dakota. It3 objectis not only to present what tho writer beliovesto be tho only peaceable and permanent solu-tion of the industrial problem, but also to as-

sist in forcing tho labor question into politicswith a well-define- d object in view. The writersteps a long way ahead of tho procession in ar-guing that the General Government ought

title of the opening article in tho forthcomingSoptcmber number of the Popular ScienceMonthly. It is by Mr. W. D.

Tho September Century will contain a paperon Liszt, which, while it has been for somemonths in preparation, happens to appear at atime when it will be read with unusual inter-est. It is an account of a Summer with Lisztat Weimar, written by one of his pupils, Mr. A.M. Bagby, and is full of interesting anecdotesand reminiscences. Tho accompanying illus-trations include a frontispiece portrait of Lisztand a full-pag- e picture of " Master" seatedat piano, both engraved by Johnston.
