SOLDIER’S PROTEST The Late Village Election Was the Cause of Bringing {Out a Litile Interesting War History. **T protest against being forced into a fight against ray will, and L’ve half a nvtion to buat up the man who put my name on the village ticket for justice of the peace aud punch his head or make him squeal,” said Com- rade William Weitzel to the Herald- Review one day this week. And the old veteran Iyoked and talked as though he meant what he- said. “Since receiving my discharge from the service of the United States in 1865, I have always felt that I didn’t have to vet intw a fight unless I want- ed tue Ihave heen urged to run for office a great many times in Grand Rapids and bave always declined. This time, however, despite my pro- tests, my name remained ov the ticket, and although I announced through the press that I would not serve if elected, and pefsonally re- Hare agreat many friends not to vote for me, I was unable to protect myself against-the politicians. When I conclude to enter politics,’ said Mr. Weitzel, ‘I'll go into the battle as the old Pennsylvania Rucktails used to do when fighting the rebels in the army of the Potomac—fight ail the time and fight to win.” The Her- ald-Review assured Mr. Weitzel that his sentiments would be expressed and warning served on all politicians not to again take liberties with his , | Sood nawe without first receiving his consent. * How long did you'serve with the famous Bucktails ?” “Iwas there at most of the kill- ings,’”’ said he, “and that’s why I ob- ject to being forced to do any more tighting unless I see fit tu start the row.” “A history of the Pennsylvania Re- serves ought to be interesting reading for you,’? suggested the Herald-Re- view man, “Yes,”? said he, ‘and I havea his- tory of the Pennsylvania Reserve corps of over seven hundred pages which I prize very highly and would not part with for auy reasonable sum of money, if it were impossible to re- place. Lserved three jears with the Bucktails, and while I was unable to attend tbeir round-up held at Harris- burg, Pa., last June, I did not forget th» old boys, and sent by express a box of bucktails which was presented to the regiment by Mayor McCormick of that city.* It isa fact that no regiment in the union army performed greater service to the country’s cause than did the famous Bucktails, and it is only nat- ural that any member of that regi- meot should entertain a feeling of pride ia its achievements. In the “History of the Pennsylvania Reserve Corps,” the story reads like one con- tinflous panorama of battles from start to finish. Mr. Weitzel was in vhirty-four engagaments, as the his- tory of his regiment shows, and dure ing his three years’ service with the Bucktails he certainly was kept busy. The recurds show the following bat- tles.in which he participated, duriag his full term of service : New Creek, West Va., June 17, 1861. Bull Kun the first battle, Virginia, on July 21, 1861.

Lee surfen- dered. At the second battle of Bull Run, Aug, 30th, 1862, Mr. Weitzel was so severely wounded in the neck that he was uncouscious for four days. During those campaigns Mr. Weit- zel served under Generals Me Dowell, Gev. B. McClellan, Join C. Pope. again under McClellan, Joe Honker, George G, Meade and U.S. Grant. The family of Weitzels have a his- tory that extends back to the revulus tionary days of the colonies and the hame appears on the pages of our country’s history down to the present time. The great grandfathers on both father’s and mother’s side of our townswan Wm. Weitzel, served with j Sletigevon in the revolutionary war. | His grandfather, Frederick Weitzel, July | “Gitulous Citizen Knew served in the war of 1812, while his father’ only brother and himself served in: the-late rebelJion in the same regiment. These facts ought to bo be snffi- cient to convince tbe average local politician that our soldier townsman 1s quite capable of making his own fights in the field of politics as he did on the bloody field cf battle. But he declines tu go against his will. RIS Wire AN CRATOR. the Fate Which Awaited Him. Ttepresentative-elect James Kennedy of Youngstown, Ohio, has ingratiated himself in the last few days with tbe House coterie. He is a story teller and reproducer of dialect. There is always an extra seat for a man of that caliber who wanders near the cloakroom precincts. Here is a dia- fogue he recounts between two Ohio citizens, who had remained out late and were staggering home together in the early morning: First Citizen—What will your wife say when she shees you coming home (hic) at yis unearthly hour? Second Citizen—Oh, not much (hic). My wife don’t talk, but she thinks a great deal (hic). How about your wife? First Citizen—My wife. Ah, ha! (hic.) She’s an orator.—Washington Post. WIFE OF MANY COLORS. Boston Journal Sees Advantages in Such -a Possession. The Lady Chameieon is attracting attention in Paris. She is a young Roumanian, Marga Cerbus by name, whose coloring is determined by her emotions. Anxiety turns her green, she is pink when joyful; violet whea afraid and black when angry. The Boston Journal can see how such a woman would be a never-failing joy as a wife. Her husband would never be in doubt as to the precise nature of her mental condition. And then there might come a mildly polygamous feel- ing to a husband having a white wife, a colored wife and a red wife on dif- ferent days. “Yet Miss Cerbus will, no doubt, marry a man that is color blind, and therefore unappreciative; such is the irony of life.” Lord Roberts’ Magnificent Sword A citizen who has just returned from a trip in Europe says that the sword presented to Admiral Dewey is a beauty, but that in the matter of downright gorgeousness it is rather a@ poor second to that given to Lord Roberts by the city of Portsmouth re cently. The American, who has ex amined both weapons, says that the one owned by the little Englisa sol- dier is probably the costilest thing ol itr kind in the world. The hand-made blade is of English steel inseribed with all the engagements in which Lord Roberts has taken part. The grip is of gold and carved ivory, the guard of solid gold ornamented with rubies, dia- mands and sapphires, and the scab- bard is splendidly decorted. Tomb of Jeremy Bentham. In University college, London, is % singular object that is preserved care- fully in a remote gallery inside a glass case, which, again, is contained in a huge wooden cupboard, the doors of which are locked and the heys in safe custody. The relic which is thus so zealously guarded is described in some notes on the history of the college as the “skeleton” of Jeremy Bentham, “clad in the garments in which he lived,” while his head only is stated to have been ‘mummified.” It has always been. understood that Bentham’s body was embalmed, and in that 2ase it cannot be his mere skeleton which is reposing there un- der lock and key. John Kelly’s Son a Broker. John Jerome Kelly, son of the late John Kelly, who was leader of Tam- many Hall next before Croker, be- came a member of the New York Stock exchange a few days ago and was initiated with a degree of vio- lence which bore testimony to his pop- ularity. The members daubed his face with paint and made him dance as Indians dance in geography pictures. The. reason they hazed him that way was because his father was a politi- cal Indian and because Mr. Kelly ex- pects to du whatever brokerage busi- ness there is to be done for the Tam- many Indians of this day. Out of the Age. Maximilian was an anachronism. He belonged to the age of knight-errantry. For himself immolation was attractive in comparison with cowardice and meanness. The very motive which impelled him to embrace that ilk starred mission was noble and unsel- fish. Those who fought against the empire he sought to establish on American soil always honored and esteemed the man. There was none among the true soldiers-of Mexico who did not respect his memory, and no attempt to blot that pure scutcheon will escape rebuke while one of them survives.—Washington Post. Offictal’s Unique Signature. Through the retirement of Col. An- drew N. Domrell, which took place re cently, the records of the regular army engineer corps will lose the most. remarkable signature knowa in | the service. His name as appended to official papers was simply a series of absolutely urdecipherable marks, though his handwriting otherwise is remarkably plain. The colonel, a Massachusetts man, entered West Point in 186) and has a creditable ca- reer. He has had charge of many Im- portant river and harbor projects. Gr H.

A number of speakers made short addresses at the dinner which Secre tary Root recently gave to members of the military affairs committee. Congressman Cannon was present, but he escaped Mr. Root’s eye until every- body else had talked. Tlien he was called upon and said the occasion re- minded him of a revival meeting he once attended in Illinois. “A lot of deacons and other hefty persons ad- dressed the assemblage and then a reformed gambler was called upon to testify,’ continued Mr. Cannon, “and this is what he said: ‘Brethren and sisters, I have sat here and listened to the great men tell of their experi- ences. The elder has spoken and the minister and the deacon and now you call on me, only a poor ninkum- slinkum.’ That’s me,” said “Uncle Joe,” sitting down. HOW THE PROFESSIONS DIFFER. Comparison Made Between Clergymen and Actors. Hall Caine is a great admirer: of the theater. He holds the actor’s art in the highest esteem. On his recent visit to America he met at a matinee a New York clergyman, and the latter, apropos of an attempted comparison of the ghurch and stage, said: “Actors speak of imaginary things, and affect their hearers as though they spoke of real things. Clergymen speak of real things, and. their congregations are no more affected than if they were imaginary.” Hall Caine smiled. “Well, don’t you know why that is?” he said. “Actors speak of things ftmaginary as though they were real, and clergymen speak of things real as though they were imaginary.” Protection for Animals. Mimicry among butterflies, moths and other insects would be comic were it not a matter of lite or death. Not a few moths have at the hinder ends of their wings a black mark and two or more tzils resembling the horns of their own heads. A veteran {n warfare not seldom has these por- tions missing—a proof of the value in having saved his life. Thus the liz- ard’s brittle tail, which, first attract- ing the enemy, comes off at his touch, lets his would-be prey «scape. When at bay crabs distract the enemy by throwing off their claws and lob- sters do the trick yet more neatly by seizing the enemy with a claw and then throwing off limb and enemy. Thus the bushy tail of the squirrel is accounted for—there ‘s a chance of escaping the enemy minus a mouth- ful of fur. University Loses Much Money. facturer of Philadelphia, has cut from his will all provisions for the univer- sity at Deland, Fla., which bears his name. This step followed the action of the board of trustees in exonerat- ing the president of the institution, Dr. John F. Forbes, whose conduct had been under investigation. “I cer tainly shall not aid the university longer under its present manage ment,” Mr. Stetson is quoted as say- ing. “I changed my will hurfiedly as soon as the action of the trustees was taken for fear that 1 might die before the clauses providing for the John B. Stetson university were cut out.” A Call for Action. A New England senator’s fair con- stituent, with a pension claim, is re- ported to have written to him in the following fashion: “This beautiful government, for which my husband gave his health and for which we lost our home, requires a good wife and mother months and years to keep swearing and swearing to even her marsiage and other things too numer ous to mention. I wish the whole pen- sion department was obliged to go, as I do, without their overcoats or decent underclothes. I wish I held the reins to keep their rightful pay from them until they were purple as any old dam- aa Work of the Empress.
