16 WHEN THENATION WASYOUNG | Queer Pictares Drawn by an Eighteenth | Century Newspaper, YELLOWED PAGES OF THE DEAD PAST t Want" That was Filled by tion of the Quaint Caliings From Its Columns, “The Long F the Pablic ant artford Cours On Monday, October 20, 1764, Thomas Green printed thoe first number of the Connecticut Courant at the Heart and Crown, noar the North Meeting House, Hartford, Thomas Green’s bones moul- dered to the dust from which they came many a long year ago, but somo of his quaiat reflections and quaintor English are still prosorved by Mrs. P, B. Stuart of 1321 Webster street, Omaha, on four little time-yellowed pages of the long dead past Curious visions are called up by this Journalistic fossil ‘with its six months’ old news and prolific capitalization, and the der is carried back over a cen- tury of time und ages upon ages of progr We can picture the ey stir about the precincts of the sedate old North Meeting Houso on the first press day. The groat commonwealth of Connecticut had again asserted her superority and eent forth to all the civilized world a woekly wonder, the fame of which had even penetrated the great howling westorn wilderness as far as Pittsburg. Ben Franklin, who published an ex- cellent almanae, but who had o harm- less maniaon the subject of kite fying and the brilliant young Virginian officer, George Washington, were among its readers. We can follow it on its marvel- ous journey ou the “Flying Machine” which nctunlly covered nincty miles in citement and ‘ing news that 8 to the door of some hugo tim- 'm house with its projecting upper story. Here after the day is over, the sheep and cattle housed and all preparations made fora reception to the ever dreaded Indians, the strangely dressed family gather nround the roar- ing, snapping wood five in the huge fire vlace while one of the boys reads aloud the old, old news of the motherland, It is welcomed, too, in the stately city mansion with 1ts ponderous oak and mahogany furriture, its plate and wine and slaves, Here in his powdered hair and arrayed in bis long vet clonk and lace ruflles, knee brecches, white silk stockings and silver buckled shoes, the stately master of the house reads to the ladies in their stiff brocades and silks, the thrlling accounts of the do- ings of Her Grace This or Her Ladyship That. Odd news, indeed, they culled from this first number of the Courant. The editor, who, by the w does not write editorial, after a short dissertation upon the great advantage under which ap- poars the art of printing, remarks that, ‘The Benefit of a Weekly per muft in particular have its advantages, as it is t\xc Channel which conveys the History of the Prefent Times to of the World.” In his capacit, sors editor he candidly admits that ““The Articles of News from the differ- ent Papers (which we fhall receive every Saturday from the neighboring Prov- inces) that shall appear to us to be moft authentic and interefting fhall always be curefully inferted ” His care for the business department is shown in his promise to make ‘‘a conftant Endeavor to render this Paper ufeful, and enter- taining, not only as a channel for News butaffifting toall thofe whomay have oc- cn(im: to make ufe of it as an adver- tifer.” The result of his efforts as an adver- tising hustlex is given in one poor little three line ad. at the foot of the last col- umn of the lust page, informing the pub- lic that **Abraham Beach, Near the South Meeting-House in Hartford, ex- changes Choice Salterdudas and An- guila Salv for Flax-Seed on the best terms,” The concluding paragraph of the Bos- ton letter, dated twenty-eight days be- fore the day of publication, seems to in- dicate that Mr. Green employed a fish editor or that the enterprise of our forefathers has never becn sufliciently appreciated. The articleis headed “*A Burprizing Concatenation of ents to One Man in One Week,’and laconically reads as follows: “*Publifed a Sunday—married a Mon- day—had a Child & Tuefday—ftole a horfe a Wednefday—banifhed ‘a Thurf- day—died a l"rhln}'—buricd aSuturday— allin one Week.” There is an air of indefiniteness about this item of news and a careful suppression of names, dates and localities which would prove unsatisfactory to modern newspapers readoers, but no story was 100 large to swallow in those duys. This sume generalizing tendency crops out in every column, and we find a profusion of such paragraphs as this: ‘It ought to be a confolation to the good people of a certrin province, that the greatest man in it exhibits the moft rigid example of this political as well as moral virtue (Frugality).” Possibly this may have been satisfuctory and no one felt like asking what man ana what province. There is another. *A report is protty current in the Naft End of the town, that a certain very great personage lately exproffed defive thut the importatien of French manufacturers might be made Felony the next meeting of the Parliament, and that the wearers of the minuteft article should eithor bo fined a large fum or impris- oned fix months,” That is & protty sentiment for a *‘per- sonage” and we would naturally like to have his initials. In the same strain there ave certain extracts from the London “Prints” intimating *That the non-attendance of a certain noble peer of much confequence at Court, tho’ fent for threo times, much embarraffod tho majority, That the reason of a fud- den return of a certain great perfonnge to England was to meditate between two certain contending parties; that a noble duko will fhortly fet out in & very high character to a neighboring kingdom on en important affair,” All this may be perfectly true but it i hy 1o mioans us sav sfying as some peo- like it I the city of Boston comes the news th * “'it is now out of fafhion to put on mour ‘ng at the funeral of the neur- csielatl 1, which will make a faving to thi to u of twenty thousand fterling per unuum,” “*It is furprizing,’” moral- %8 the editor, “how fuddenly as well as how generally an old cuftom is abol- ifhed, it fhows, l‘;nwo\'er, the good fenfe of the town for it is certainly prudent to retrinch our ~ extravagant o penfes while we have fomething eft to subfilt ourfelyes, rather thav be driven to it by fatal neceffity,” This virtue of frugality is practiced in every porlflru&!f‘l‘ Frow London comes the news: ‘‘The report of your gaiety and Luxury have reeched your Mother country; and the; {infer from thence your oppulency,which is further confirmed by the extravagant expenses of your youth fent here for ed- ucation, and therefore you are able to bear part of the expenfos your defence s coft the Nation.” This is a little matter of the storm which broke ten s after and broke the hold in in America. The Courant's kid glove fashion of handling all varieties of “‘noble lords” is apt to unsettle the stomach of a nine teenth century reader. Here is a spec men: *‘His Royal Highness. the Duke of York, arrived at Genoa this morning (soven months ago) in perfect health. His Royal Highness was complimented by the government of Novi, at_a small diftance from the town. This afternoon the Master of Ceremonies ted on and complimented his Royal Highness on his safe arrival and acquainted him that the republick had named six nobles as a deputation from the republick; His Royal Highness returned thanks and de- clined to receive tho deputation. The republick will endeavor to amuse his Royal Highness with diversions of Bulls; and preparations are making to give a masked Bull at the Theatre tomorrow night.” Shades of the departed! must have What thrill- been! Six months old. When this paper went to press the thirty year’s war of Great Britain and France had just been concluded and every town and hamlet in the new world was wounded and bleeding; all the coun- tries of Ilurope were in arms and eager for a fight with some one; the high seas were scoured from end to end by the fierce corsairs of Barbary and looming up slowly in the distance was the spectro of the giant struggle which should end with the pealing of the independence bell in Philadelphia, yet this little paper has time and space for the breakfasts and suppers and galivantings of his Royal Highness nere and his Noble Lordship there. i, Disease never succosstully attacks thesye- tem with pure blood.

Kollowing the letter will be found an an- swer to each question propounded by the writer, Forr Meapg, S. D., March Oxama Beg—Dear Sir: ' At a moeting of the ‘Young Men's Cheap Labor organization” of this post on the 2d day of March, in the year of our Lord, 18 the chairman brought be- fore the assembly of atoresaid orgauization the following questions: 1. Does the Umted States government malke sufficient appropriations for the build- ing of officers’ quurters at military garrisons, and if so, why is it that theenlisted men who only got the insignificant salary of $13 per month and a starvation diet, and who are supposed to be the defenders of their coun- try and flag, are compelled to perform all the airty and bard labor 1n_connection with the building of the aforesaid officers’ quarters? 2. Is thero a paragraph in army regula- tions which prohibits ofticers to employ en- listed men as servants{ If so, how is it that our commanding officer acts in direct opposi- tion to those regulations, and takes two men away from their troops when they should by right do their kitchen aud stable police du- ties, and keeps them us his domestic serv- ants, whereus ho could employ citizens who como daily to the post in search of work{ Thira and last question: Are fatigue par- ties supposed to be marched to their work at a double quick time! Ifno, how isit that we were made to march at that gait only the other day! Owing to the 1gnorauce of the members of our association, the above ques- tions remain unanswered. I therefore take the liberty to respectfully request that you be so kind and publisk them in the columns of your papor. Hoping that some gentlemun interested in such topics and being more en- ligbtened than ourselves may answer them for us. A MEMBER, (1.) Military posts are originally built by contract. Congress makes an insuflicient appropriation for the repairs nocossary, and the employmeut of soldier lubor to ‘make such repairs is strictly legitimate and has beeu sauctioned by the War dopartment and evon directed since the establishment of the United States army. 2 2, rovised statutes of the answers the quostion regard- ing the employment of enlisted men as ser. vants to officers. Below +is an extract: *‘No ofticer shall use an enlisted man as a servant in any case whate So far as the use of soldiers as servants is concerned it has been hela that even the detail of a soldier on daily duty as groom to a mounted officer is forbidden, (3.) Yes, if in the judgmentof the com- manding officer it 15 necessary. Regarding the “starvation diet” mentioned it might be well tosay that by act of con- gress Juue 16, 1%, the army ration was in- creasnd by one pound of vegetables. Prior to the addition of the ration offered by this law the ratiou was the most abundant au- thorized 1 any army. The addition of one pound of vegotables per man per day, takeu in connection with the savings derived from the post canteen (a cousiderable sum per month), would, it seems, leave the soldiers of ourarmy with very little just ground for complaiat as to ‘'starvation diet.” The War Department is takiog steps to havo the bodies of thirty-four of the Seventh cavalry soldiers who were killed during the Wounded Knee battle, exhumed and re- moved to the National cometery at Fort Riloy, Kansas. It is probable that the work will be done some time this month, Captain Bell's troop, ' of the Seventh cavalry, is to be ordered to L'ort Myer to com- plote the garrison. Lieutenant Powhatan H.

The actual transfers will not be made, of course, before May, General Hawley’s bill to increase the pay of non-commissioned officers has been favor- ably reported from tho senate mlitary com- wwittee, with the change of making the pay ot first sergeant &34, the pay of sergeant major and regimental quartermaster sergeant re- maining at $30, as in the original bill, General Nelson A.Miles 1s a progressive offi- cer, says the National Guardsman, and when he bad reason to beliave that the bicycle was a valuable adjunct to the regular organiza- tion, b proposod to try the experiment at Fort Sueridan, and forthwith borrowed some Columbian safeties from a Chicago firm snd detailed an ofticer in charge of & squad of ten men. This action on the part of Gen- eral Miles did not meet with the approyal of the War department, and it 1s intimated that some lively correspendence has taken piace between the former and General Scholleld, commandiog the army. But how nonsensi- cal this all is, the eyclo is past the experi- mental stage in the Eoglish army, IRussia is at present experimenting, and as (eneral Miles is reported to have remarked, ‘‘I'bere is no law, civil or military, religious or seou- lar, that prevents & man thinking or experi- meuting.” There was absolutely nothing for the men to do at Fort Sheridan, and they might better put ia their time this way than in doing nothing. It was good exeroise and the experiment was highly satisfactory. ‘There is no question but what the safely cyele will ere long becowe part of tne equipwments of every regiment, = Fort Nlobrara, Lieutenant R.

Genoral Forsyth has given his pormission for the officors commanding these troops to Accept or not, as they chose. Captain C. A, Varnum, who commands B troop, has ac- cepted the general's kind offer. Not that he wants to leave Fort Riley, but as tho com- manding general has signitied his intention of honoring him and his gallant troop, 1t is nothing more than his duty as a soldier to comply with tho general’s kind request. Captain L. R. Hare. commanding K troop, has also accepted. The captain says: ‘1 am pleased with Fort Riley. I love my rogi- mont, but I have a duty to perform para- mount to everything else, and that is the duty I owe my children, They have arrived at an age when their education should be looked after, and with the facilities at Fort Sheridan 1 can do more towards gaining that object than by . romaining at Fort Riley. The men of the troops in many instances are more than pleased with the prospect before them. Not that they are tired of Fort Riley, but it will be a change snd that is what every soldier wants. It will be soveral weeks vot and may be months before B and K troops will take up the line of march for Fort Sheridan. Major Bell, who commands F troop, Sev- enth cavalry, has been in Washington lately, and he is reported as saywg that he never did duty with headquarters of his regiment and for his part he would as soon go to Fort Riley as Fort Meyer, and on top of all this it is reported that as soon as the weather opens Major Bell will proceed on a practice march from Fort Sill, L T., where he is now st tioned, to Fort Riley,'and that Lientenant H.
