He was shot through the face, and was oarried from the field a distance of forty mliles on a {ravois, and was then conveyed 240 miles to the railroad, a trip which under the same olroumstances would have killed any ordinary man. The wound, which has dlsfigured him, has never healed, and It is & constant source of pain and danger to Col. Henry. He is » man who has done enovgh to deserve anything that the government oan do for him, and General Howard, in assigning him as instructor in rifle practice at thess headquarters, has done a very gracefal act. Tae voluntary increass cf wages on the part of the Lowell carpet manufac- ing company created a great deal of agroeable astonishment not only ameng its 1,700 employes, but smong the entire population of the great manufacturing center. The advance restores the wages £ what they were before the last redac- tion In February. Such a movement on the part of a large cosporation, or sny other employer, Is almost unprecedeated, and the Lowell manufacturlng company’s example is worthy of imitation. The in- crease of wages {s an evidence of return- ing prosperlty, end fa” ot course a very encouraging sign. If al! employers, when compelled to reduce wages would promite, as dld the Lowell company, that they would reetora prices whenever businets would warrant it, there would be less dls- content and fewer atrikes among the employes.

The head of Phil Thompson was presen- ted to S8am Randall on & charger, while Speaker Carlisle was waitlng to see him made Whiskymaster-General, or, more technically, Commiseioner of Internal Revenue. This was regarded as proot of an alltance between the Admlsistration snd the Randall forces in the crmingeon- test for the Speakersbip. 8o bitter isthe feeling, and eo great tho deslre to w en the supposed comblination, that it has been industriously glven around that all coerced the President In Themp- ron’s oase, aud in other matters, through the fear of an extra session, which the Pennsylvania leader could alone prevent, by reason as his control of the appro- priation bills, Oertain it Is that Randall used his in- flaence to good ends, and saved the Pres- ident from a grave blunder If ho preventod Thompson's appointment. Randal {s not likely to enter the Speak- ership contest, nor to leave the field to Carlisle efther. The chsnces aro that New York or Ohlo may measure swords with Kentucky. The fact that Randall declined the Treasury portfolio, together with the strong probabllity that Manning will re- tire from the Oabinet after the weeding procees Is over in his department, leads many to prediot that the former will final- ly take the place. But he will not. The ’{roumy Department is no place for an honorable man like Randall, who has a strong party at his back for the Presi- denoy. Its patronage is always good for about ninety to a hundred votes in Natlo- nal conventions, and, whether he pro- motes It or not, the subordinates are always inclined to make themselves solid with thelr chief by making delegates for him if he /s on the lls*. This fact alone would cause Mr. Randsll to decline the post, for if not a candidate for the Presi- dency he Is on the list in the popular mind and cannot erase his name thore- from, It is entlrely probable that Mr. Man- ning may retice soon and that Whitney may succeed him. This would leave the Navy Department to some neglected statesman who could do the most good there. The enemies of Randall openly threat- en to degrade him from his positlon as Chalrman of the Committee on Appro- priatlons, the election of Carlisle being by them set down as certaln., Hence the necessity of making a Speaker who has not Mr. Rendall's punishment as his objectlve polnt. o — INTELLIGENT ANIMALS, Sagacious Traits Manisfested by the Fire Department Horses, “Fire horses ain't taught the tricks they used to be a few years ago,” remark- ed a veteran In the service as he vicioasly threw a quid of tobacco at a little boot- black standing in the doorway of the en- gine house. ‘‘It’s all work and no play, now,” he continued, ‘‘and more attention is pald to ‘gettin’ there’ when the alarms eound then it was in those days. It's work and sieep now. We only exist, we don’t live now, I eay, and it's all because of modern improvements and ‘fine dlcip- live,’ as thecall it. ‘Perfectin’ the* ser- vice,’ they eay; ‘makin’ slaves of the men’ Teay, 'cos it's no more’n than that. Pehaw! we don’t work any better or more succesefully than we did. It's all hum- bug. We may look purtier, but that's all. Why, we ain’t even ’lowed to eit round our owa doors in summer when it is hot as an oven iuside, or to smoke a plpe on the street! Talk about tricks In horees! why, if you cin tell me how a horae could be learned any tricks while such stralght-backed words was goin’ on, then I'll give in.” These remarks were brought about by an innocent inquiry from a reporter as to whether or not the engine horees were the perfcrmers of any tricks. Other fire- men also volced the sentiment that the engine horses of the department were kept too busy to learn any cdd tricks. “I have known horses tc have some queer capers,” said the powerful lleuten- ant of 32's houte, ‘‘Truck 6 had a black horse that was very intelligent. On acold day he used to come in, and as soon as unhitched would start on a jump towards the stall, but would stop suddenly by the big stove and stand there, turning first one slde then the other around, until he was warm. Nothing could drive him away from hls pesition by the stove un- less it was a fire alarm, “We have alx horses here, and I be- lieve they all lie down listening for an alarm. You might not believe it but it is a fact that if a ‘still’ comes In—you know we send three fives out to the other houses on the ticker—those horses are all on their feet before the second five is ticked, and when the third five Is finished they ara all paancing to get out. If any other signal come in on the ticker they pay no attentlon to it. *“That black horse there is for the hose ciwrt. Heisas smart as & whip. When the alarm comes in the captain is on hand to receive them. If it {sin our run he is in the bhabit of putting his hrnd up to the box-card to get the exact locatlon. Well, that horse is always up and ready when the alarm es in, but never at- tempe to leave his stall unless he sces the captain’s hand go up to the card. Then he's off like a shot and gets Into his shafts in short order.” “Js 1t much trouble to train engine horses?’ “No, we never found it 0. On the contrary it is very slmple. A green horee when firet purchased 18 placed in his stall, Then he is led to hls position several times and each time led back to his stall and the door closed. At last a man gets behind him with a whip. The gong Is sounded, the door flies open and the horse is sfruck smartly. He generally knows his position and gets to it, He is then :|led back and the exerclee is repeated. After a while the whip is dispensed with and the horse gradually grows more per- fect in his work,” “Do you find it hard to get intelligent horses?” “Oh, no; all horses sre intelligent enough, 1t s a vory Intelligent animal, you know. I don't belleve I ever saw a horce taken into an englne-house that oould not be trained in a few days. 1t only requires a little cara and attentlon.” *Do not some horses become more proficient than others?” “Yes, In hitching up for instance, I have seen horses which would get beside the pole at varlous dlstances from the wagon, while others stand just the proper dlstance so the traces can be easily fast- ened, and never vary two Inches, Then, some horees get restless before the doors are opened, while others do not move un- tll every thiog Is ready, and they are off on a jump, e — More Trouble Expected at Panama, PaNAMA, (via Galveston), April 28,—Cam- bina, messenger of the diplomatic corps of Bogota, arrived at Pasana this morning with the National troops, who consiet chiefly of volunteers from Cauca, under command of Monotoya, who has sent Aizpura notice to leave the olty in forty-eixht hours.

McLolsh, of this city, formerly of the Twenty-sixth Iowa vol- unteer infantry, Third br'gade, First division, Fifteenth army ccrps, says the Cinolonati Enquirer, rolates the followlng pathetic Incident, thowing Gon. Grant's kindnees of heatt, which at this time will be appreciated by all his old soldiers: The army was encamped at Young's Point, La. An order had beea promulgated by the genaral to tho effect that no officer should be sllowed leave cf absence until after the capture of Vicksburg. I had a little girl at home who was my pot and Idol, Ope wmorning I received a letter from my wife which contalned the following sentence: *'Coms home Immediately if you would see Winnle alive.” Startled and fearful lest I should be too late to sce my darling child sgaln, I hastened to prccure a leave of absence, and succeeded in gelting it regularly approved until I reached Gen. Sherman’s headquarters, where Irecelved asternrefueal; ' No;asol- dler should know no famlily in time of war.” I turned away, knowing I could go no farther, when I heard instructions given to an alde de camp to take dis- patches to General Grant, whose head- quarters were on a boat, three-quarters of amile away, but into the rsln and darkness I impuleively rushed after the alde, and with him made my way to the boat. Appealing to Major Bowers for a personal interview with General Grant, I was ushered Into the presence of the gen eral, whom hitherto I bad thought{o be stern and unaporoachable. Hegreeted me with a kindly selutation. I told my story, and knew by the moistened eye and sympathetic volce that the great gen- eral had also a great heart. “‘Approved twenty days'leave of ab- sence, with transportation to and from Calro,” his order. Then, turning to me, he said: *‘If you are required to re- main longer, do o, but report to me In pereon on your return. and I slncerely hopo that you may not fiad your daughter as ill as you anticlpate,” My littie one dled, and had been burled ten dsys when I reached our western home in Iowa.
