This engagement ts considered quite an honor, and the young- sters are jubilant over the fact that they have been successful in competing with the big bands of the country. The corps will wear its new regulation fatigue uniform and use the well-known zouaye outfit for dress occasions. It will leave this city in a special car attached to the Cuban fast mail train over the At- lantic Coast Line, Sunday afternoon, May 10, at 3:46 o'clock, and is scheduled to reach Savannah at 7:30 o'clock the follow- ing morning, the opening day of the en- campment. Returning, departure from Sa- vannah is to be made Saturday evening, May 14, srriving home early the rext even- ing. The instrumentation will consist of B-flat piccolos, correts, trombones, bases, P-trum- pets and snare drums, cymbals and bass drum. The boys will be expected to per- form the duties of a regular post band, in- cluding the ceremonies of guard mount and James M. Churchill, Principal Musician, dress parade, and the trumpeters will sound all the camp calls from “‘first call” to “taps.” There are seventy-six names on the roll of the band, bat only forty will visit Sa- vannah, After a regular competitive ex- amination for places in this picked band, the following officers and members have t selected to make the tri J.

Morgen Stinemetz, Color Beater. The Mount Pleasant Field Band is rapid- ly forging to the front as the leading and mest popular band of juvenile musicians in the United States. The corps was start- ed in a small way in June, 1803, proved a popular institution from its incipiency and fast grew to its present large propor- ticns. It was incorporated August 17, 1805, Since it was organized the corps chims that it has done more traveling and visit- €d more places than any other military or civic body In the District of Columbia. Its first extended trip was made to the n tioral encampment of the Grand Army at Pittsburg, in September, 184. The corps acted as escort to the Old Guard and the Department of the Potomac of this city, ard, having made a great hit in the parade there, was at once adopted by these organt- zations as their official music. Last July the band visited St. Louis, hay- ing secured an engegement from the St. Louis Fair Association to help furnish the music for the interstate drill and encamp- ment of the National Guard. The boys ivided honors ‘evenly with the famous Third United States Cavalry Band on this cecasion, and did their full share of camp, parade and concert duty. They were gone eleven days, ard made hosts of friends in the west. The trip could have been ex- tended indefinitely, but for personal rea- sons it was necessary to return to Wash- ington. In August the band attended the triennial conclave of the Knights Templar at Bos- ton, acting as escort to Washington Com- mandery, No. 1. There were about 135 bands in the great parade, but none of them, it is said by the friends of this or- ganization, excelled the Mount Pleasants in novelty of appearance, excellence of time, and generel attractiveness. Return- ing from Boston for the Labor day parade, the corps had the honor of acting as escort to Columbia Typographical Union, No. 191 of this city. After a week of resi, the band started for Louisville, once more in company with its friends, the Old Guard and the Department of the Potomac, to at- tend the national encampment of the G. A. R. last September. This proved to be the most noted trip in the history of the corps. The bind appeared in the proces- sion, at the head of the Washington vet- erans, with seventy-one pieces of music. The boys, as usual, were equal to the oc- easion, marching past the reviewing stand with the precision of veterans and delight- ing the crowds at this point with the ever- popular melody, “The Old Folks at Home. It was here that the corps received its Willie Wiseman, Principal Drummer, mascot, a beautiful large poll parrot from the Island of Borneo. It was presented by Dr. Sadtler, a resident of Louisv: and au ex-confederate soldier. The boy i ately christened the bird “Old Kain- Last October the band went to Reading, Pa., to participate in the state mest of the volunteer firemen. ‘The parade was a long one, and the corps azain met with a warm and enthusiastic reception from the Penn- sylvanians. The hoys were escort to the Veteran Volunteer men's Association of this city, and made a firm friend of that horcrable organization. Other cities, too, are familiar with the brilliant zouave d1 of the young musicians, and have heard, in their streets, the lively martial strains of their inspiring music. The band has paraded in Allegheny, McKeesport, Johns town, Baltimore, Lynn, Providens>, New York and Philadelphia, and is, in fact, al- mcst as well known thronghout the eastern section of the country as at home. While in New York city last August the police authorit'es invited the corps to give a short exhibition parade “on the Bowery, but the time schedule would not permit The band, then known as the Mt. Pleasant Drum and Bugie Corps, had the right of the line in the great Knights of Pythias parade in this city, Auzust 2S, 1894. ‘The first parade ever made by the corps was at the head of the famous id ¢ on the occasion of the celebration, September 1 turned out thirty pieces.

STOPPED FOR BREAKFAST. Lee’s Soldiers Stopped to Eat and His Plans Were Thwarted. From the Utica Observer, “Charging is the last resort of brave but baffled commander: said a local critic of military affairs, “and it almost always re- sults disastrously.” “Thirty-one years ago today the affairs of the confederate army of northern Vir- ginia were desperate enough to warrant its brave commander, Gen. Robert E. Lee, to resort to charging. So it came to pass on the morning of the 25th day of March, 186° he made a break through the Union lines and opened the way to City Point, whiea, if he could have reached and held, would have prolonged the civil war for at least another year. “The preliminaries were well arranged. First of all a hundred men appeared in front of our picket line, and announced them- selves as North Carolina deserters. They were all armed, but the officer in charge of our pickets welcomed them and told them to bring in their guna, as Gen. Grant had recently issued an order commanding his quartermasters to pay for all guns brought in from the rebel ranks. So this hundred of armed men were graciously invited to march in behind our pickets. When once there they turned suddenly upon the aston- isked Union troops and requested them to surrender in words too impolite to print. And the picket had no choice but to obey. “In the rear of the picket line stood Forts Haskell and Stedman, garrisoned by the fourteenth New York artillery, several of whom belonged in Utica. In the early dawn of that mild March morning the sleeping members of the fourteenth were awakened by the sharp “YI! yi!” of the rebel troops, who pounced in upon them 10,000 strong or more. They were under the command of Gen. William Mahone of Virginia. After capturing the fourteenth they were expected to move forward to City Point. “But here an obstacle arose that neither Mahone nor Gen. Lee had foreseen. That obstacle was our supplies of food. It was utterly impossible to get the confederates, who were actually starving, beyond our soft bread and coffee, our fresh beef and salt pork. The whole body paused and went to eating, drinking and making merry, with- out regard to the conclusion of that well- known saying, ‘For tomorrow we die.’ It was all in vain that Gen. Mahone threatened and swore and coaxed his men. They s!m- ply would not stir till they had satisfied their appetites. “This pause was the salvation of the Union army. It enabled not only the ma- jority of the fourteenth to escape from their captors, but the other divisions of the ninth corps to come to their relief; so that when the rebels were ready to advance they found their way blocked, and they were compelled to retire from the scene of their victory and their breakfast table back to Petersburg, badly beaten, and carrying with them noth- ing but full stomachs. “The foregoing is a brief but truthful ac- count of Gen. Lee's last charge. In a little more than a week from that day he evacuated Richmond and Petersburg, and in less than ancther week he surrendered his entire army to Gen. Ulysses 8. Grant.” —+o+_____ Rid of Many Temptations, From the Chicago Post. “I understand that Brown claims he hasn't told a He in ten or twelve years. Do you believe it?” “Well, it may be so. I know he made great preparations about ten years ago to be — that time on a man of absolute truth.” “Preparations!” “Certainly. He put all his property in his wife's name, and let her make out all the statements for the assessor.” ————_+e+______ Musical Item. From the Texus Sifter.

THE EXPENSES OF THE NAVY ee The Responsibilities and Duties of a Paymaster. MAKING OF APPOINTMENTS + AILORS ARE AL- ways befter informed about landlubbers than the latter are ebout sailors. For instance, how many civilians are there who know that there are, in round num- bers, 1,400 officers on the active list of the navy who hold com- missions signed by the President of the United States? And that of these nearly 1,000 are officers of the line, and the rest 2re officers of the staff? These 1,400 officers include several corps, and cne of the most important of these is a small corps composed of exactly ninety- six men, and Known as the pay corps. It is its duty to manage the finances and commissariat of the whole naval establish- ment, both afloat and ashore. lis members are officers of the staff, and the staff, as the public doubtless knows, includes (be- sides the pay ccrps) the surgeons, the en- gineers, the chapluins, the professors of mathematics and the constructors of the navy. The remaining three-fifths of the commissioned officers of the navy com- pose the line officers, whose grades run ull the way from ensign fo rear admiral. Admission to the Pay Corp: To get into the pay Corps a candidate must be a man—that is, he must be twen- ty-one years old; but he must not have passed the settled age of twenty-six. Our lawegivers long ago decided that any age beyond this was too late for a man to learn to lurch in his walk or to hitch his trousers easily. ‘The men who enter the tay corps are old enough to be sure of their own minds, id not too old to be adaptable to the peculiarities of the Mfe they have chosen. Those who receive an appointment to it are considered very fortunate by their fellow of s, for the position is one which carries preat respon- sibility with it, and comman wat con- sideration whicn alw attaches to im- portant duty in the navy.

Requirements. To give an idea how greatly prized is the position of a paymaster in the navy it is only necessary to state that there are sometimes over ene hundred applicants be- sieging the Secretary of the Navy and the President for the right to fill a single va- cancy. But before amy ene of them can have that right he must have proved his claim by submitting to an examination by a board of three pay officers as vo his men- tal and moral qualifications, and also by allowing three naval surgeons to make an exhaustive examination into his physical health. .A candidate must also be a citizm of the United States. The meatal exam- ination is one which is aimed to prove the general education and intelligence of andidate. The young men who seek who may have started in a career on shore, but who have discovered that their interest in it is only half-hearved, and that their instincts lead them to the sea. e old Anglo-Saxon trait of love of the sea, ac- quired through turies, breaks out in them and causes them to spurn an exist- ence of desk and ledger ‘a a dingy back of- fice. Their eyes water for a big horizon and blue fields of wa uch are the wotkings of the sea fever in th> veins of orderly and humdrum young men, and be- fere their parents know it a bookkeeper or a young lawyer is turned into a rover and a paymaster. Promotions. After passirg through the grade of as- sistant paymaster the grade of passed as- sistant paymaster is reached, then that of simple paymaster, then pay inspector, then pay director, and finally there is one officer with the title of paymasier general of the navy. This last position is by special ap- pointment of the President from the corps. In general, with his advancement to each grade a pay officer is assigned to duty in- volving increased responsibilities. Promo- tion to each tuccesssive grade is dependent on the occurrence of a vacancy in a high- er grade, and every promotion must be justified by a mental, moral and physical examination, just as was required on first entering the corps. Thus a paymaster has it always before him that a relaxation in any one of these requisites may cause his retirement from active service or possibly his dismissal from the nav Responsibilities. The paymasters of the navy are not only paymasters, pure and simple, but they ure | also commissaries, and sometimes quarter- masters. On board of a man-of-war the pay officer not only has custody of the goy- ernment’s funds, but also of all the pro- visions and clothing, and the ‘small stores” of the entire ship's crew. Not a single con- tract or ship's bill of any kind can be en- tered into, or paid, except through his agency, and the pay of every Officer and | man on board is attended to by him alone. expenditures of ships vary so—accord- ing to their size and complement of men— that it 1s hard to fix a proper average, lut a small ship usually spdnds from $5,000 to %,000 a month, and a large one may go ss high as from $25,000 ‘to $30,000 a month. | A paymaster on duty et a navy yard, where he has to keep the accounts of all the operatives, may have over a million dollars pass through his hands in the course of a year. All the myriad ship's supplies and equipments which are amassed in the huge storehouses of navy yards are also put in the charge of pay officers, who are held responsible for their safekeeping. An idea may be formed of the importance of the office of paymaster gereral of the navy when it is stated that under his man- agement the complete expense of the Amer- ican navy ia carried on and systematized, and that this gteat task involves an an- nual expenditure of from thirty to forty miilions of dollars. These are large figures, and they show that tHe abifity and the in- tegrity requisite to deal with them must be commensurate with them. Duties at Sen. On board of a man-of-war there fs rarely more than one paymaster. As the head of the pay department on the ship, he is call- ed on to send many written returns to Washington. Indeed, he is always writing or figuring, and he fs not required to stand a watch, as line officers are. In a company of fighters his duties are comparatively peaceful, and his pen is almost as mighty as his sword. However, in time of battle, his small division, which consists of his clerk, his yeoman and a sailor, known as the jack-of-the-cust, may be stationed wherever the captain deems best; and if one looks back into the record of the pay corps during the last war he will find there some exploits of heroism that as Ameri- cans we must ail be proud of. On Board Ship. On board ship the pay officer must always DR. SHADE, The Only Physician in This City Who Claims the Ability to Cure Con- sumption. Many Peananee Cures in Washington, D, C. While ft is a well-known fact that Dr. Shade, 1282 14th street, is the only physician in this city that claims the ability to cure consumption, and has proven the same, yet the people persist in al- lowing the family doctor or some throat or lung Spevialist to lead their consumptive friends to the erge of the grave before they come to Dr. Shade, and then expect a cure when all hope has fled. The family physician is generally to blame. He says his patieut is only suifering from a mere laryngitis or brouchial affectian; leading them to helieve that there 4s no serious trouble developing. Why the people insist ou employing doctors who never claim to have even cured a single case of consumption can be based upon no other hypothesis than that the attendant physician imsists that the case is in no immediate danger—no active disease of the lungs having as yet developed. Don't be deceived, for all the throat, laryngeal aod bronchial (rouble is nothing Jess than the pre- puratury work for the development of consumption, ecutarrh included. If the people walt and waste time and money with these deceivers (quacks) who treat consumption in its carliest stages until it ts too Tate, and then eapect Dr. Shade to cure them they are almost always disappointed, because the ease is beyond all hope. ‘The patient has been so gently led by deception to the very edge of the grave by their physicians before they will ac- Knowledge the danger, and now with great dignity they advise a irlp to some distant clime, to be brought home—as a rule—in a casket. Yet these family physicluns and specintists Insist and demard that the people must employ them, and the people do se for fear of offending the dear dorter, to the everlasting detriment of the loved ene, who is being sncriticed to ke-p on good terms with the family doctor. ‘These very doctors who do all this and wink their left eye when Dr. Shade 4s mentioned are the professional gentlemen who sald that Dr. Patterson, 52 B strect northeast; Mrs. Holland, 601 Bth street northeast; W.

Character of Puss as Compared With That of the Dog. From the London Spectator. Compaied to a cat, a dog is a very sim- ple and transparent creature. Sometimes, indeed, he is guilty of acts of deception and hypocrisy, but they are crude and ingenu- ous compared to the urfathcmable wiles of a cat. Mr. North's dog, for instance, who ate the pigcon cut of the pie and stuffed up the hole with Mr. North's ink sponge, Was not an adept in the art of theft; and a fox terrier with whom the present’ writ «joys the intimacy of a common house- hold has disgraced herself this last. week what was, to all intents and purposes, a when a little more astuteness would have shown her the futility of falsehood, in the face of an alibi. Ske had been tear- ing up paper and strewirg it about the floor, with fine literary freedom, when the servant whose duty it was to Clean the carpet asked her, with magisterial sever: “Who tore those lette it look: ed at first terribly ab and hung her head and tail in expecta chastise- ment, Ull her mistre a trial, observed, “I wonder did Gyp de it was the offender's usual companion ard fellow ner. but as it chanced was miles off at the mo -) Instantly the ous little wretch perceived a way of escape from the peralty of her own misdeeds by throwing the blame on her friend, and, looking up briskly, shcok her tail frantically and al- nodded, “You are right. It was that Gyp! As for me, I am quite inca- pable of touching a piece of paper.” It i8 as useless for a dog to attempt these deceptions as for a good honest English- man to profit by the counsels of Macchia- velli. But the case is quite different with a cat. She is a domestic sphinx—whose coun- tenance is solemn as that of her stony pro- totype, who has gazed for sixty centuries over the field of death at Ghizeh, and whose tail is not, as George Eliot describes the tail of a dog, a “‘vel.icle for the emo- tions,” and rever betrays her, except in the case of lenrine rage. No philosopher, we are persuaded, ever yet got to the bottom of a cat’s mind. She is a bete incomprise, for good and for evil. No one fathoms her implacable resentments, her deep, unspok- en suspicicns of her enemies, or her unal- terable confidence and gratitude toward her friends. Few people attempt to study her; she ts rarely even given a name (unless it be the banale and meaningless everlasting Minnie), but is spoken of, like a poor work house orphan, by her surname, as “the cat"—or in the vocative, “Puss"”—and treat- ed a little better by one, a little worse by another, but rarely watched with any at- tention o- sympatky, stch as many of us bestow on our dogs. Yet there must be something really profound in a cat’s feel- ings, since there are numberless instances on record where they have perished and died for grief at the loss of their masters or mistresses; and the following, which oc- curred last week, affords touching proof of a sentiment still more rare in any animal— pure frierdship. A correspondent writes to us: Col. C—"s little Hack and tan pet dog Flo died last Monday morning about 3 o'clock. He had had her for many years, and she had long had an internal com- paint. She was a dear, little, affectionate, intelligent creature, and had always been treated as kindly as a child. He buried her in his garden, and over her little grave his housekeerer’s children shed many tears. Yesterday I heard from him, as follow: “Another cf my domestic pets was an old black cat, which ceme to me a kitten years ago, a few weeks before I brought Flo from Oxford. They grew up together, and were very fond of each other, eating from the same plate and drinking trom the same glass. I have often seen them stand side by side before my fire, and occasionally put their mouths together, as though they were absolttely kissing. Well, the poor old cat seemec very miserable all day yester- day (that is, Monday, the day on which ‘Flo’ had died, early in the morning), and we could not induce her to eat. She could not be found Isst night when the house was closed, but as this occasionally hap- pened, not much was thought of it. This norning she was found stiff and cold, stretched cut by the side of Flo’s grave! could not have believed it, if I had not seen it with my own eyes. Whether it is only a coincidence, I will not pretend to say, but I would rather believe that the poor ani- mal died from grief at the loss of her old friend. But if so, how did sbe know that Flo was dead? Svch a fact as this leads to strange thcughts, or what would be called strange, by those who can see in these creatures ‘only a dog’ or ‘only a cat.’ When we reflect on the amount of thought aud tenderness of sentiment which this story reveals, dces it not seem as If, in our usual treatment of cats, we must be stupidly ignoring something very wonder- sn ane beautiful close beside us all day jong! x 2 o SUMMER RESORTS.
