SOME ARNY REMINISCENCES How General Walter Q. Grosbam Reonred Fair Pl THE BULLY SLUNK AWAY ting Story of General Grant— Oolonel Carlin’'s Promotion to & Brigadier General—Other Noter and Incldents. Gresham is as well known for his physical courage as for any of his other traits, says Kate Field's Washington. It is told of him that in 1866, when he was running for - congress against Michael C. Kerr, both candidates hap- pened to have hit one day upon the same place and the same hour for a pub- lic meeting. An immense crowd gathered, a fi\rgfl share of it being mado up of the political enemies of Gresham. It was decided that the speakers on both sides should be heard, the demo- crats first and the republicans after- ward. 5 Wken it came Gresham's time to gpeak a big bully in the audience, with 8 pistol fastened conspicuously outside of his clothing, attempted to howl him down, Gresham insisted on being heard. The bully kept up his disturb- ance, and Gresham presently sprang down from the stage and advanced upon the troublesome auditor. “I came here to make a speech,” he said, “‘and I am going to make it. My friends and I have listened courteously to the specehes on your side and all we nsk is that those \\'gm don't want to give us fair play in return shall quit the Rlflcn. As for you, personally,” shaking is finger ominously at the disturber, “I know you for a vagabond and a scoun- drel. Youare the man who shot En- rolling Officer B and threw his body into the Wabash river!” The charge created great excitement, for the substance of it had been secretly whispered about the neighborhood for yoars, The uccused drew his pistol, but iresham had one ready, too, and the pair stood facing each other for perhaps a minute in silence. Then the bully dropped his pistol arm at his side and slunk away in the crowd, while Gresham returned to the platform and coolly fin- ished his specch. Forward by Promotion, President Cleveland has selected Col- onel William P. Carlin of the Fourth in- fantry for the vacancy in the rank of brigudier general 5 B EE RexEten since March last. The Illinois delegation, with the as- sistance of General Schofield, knocked down the plum for General Carlin. His appointment is made purcly as a reward for past serv He will retire in No- vember next, and there is no expectation that he will enter actively upon the com- mand of a department in the meantinc. General Carlin is the only officer on the active list below the grade of brigadier ficnurnl who commanded an army corps uring the war. His appointment is a victory for seniority and_ also for the volunteer oflicer. How Grant Rewarded Iis Soldlers. Said a correspondent inthe Grand Army Gazotte: recently met a man called Soldier Sam, an honest fellow, and one of the true-blue boys of the late war. He had served under General Grant and could tell reminiscences of the great general by the hour. The best of it was that his stories were always authentic, I remember, said he, that while we were down on the Mi issippi a big barge, loaded with bombs and gunpowder, was lying slongside the wharf., Grant had given orders that no one should smoke on board of that barge. I suppose the old =tub had thou- sands of dollars worth of powder under her decks. Sothe corporal set a guard there and ordered him to shoot the first man who should cross the plank with a lighted pipe or cigar. Well, when the order got abroad we kept away, for we knew that the order meant busines One day when I was off duty General Grant rode up on his horse. He wore a big blouse and a slouch hat. He had on star, nor side arms. We all knew him without the aid of trinkets, *Is that the powder boat?” he asked. 1 told him it was, He looked at me sharply over a red- hot cigar and said: *I'll go on board then."” 1 knew he'd never take that cigar out of his mouth except to eat or sleep, so I said: “‘General, if you walk across the plank smoking the sentry will shoot you.” He saw I was in earnest, but said: “Don’t you suppose he knows me?” “Of course he does, general,” I re- plied; ‘‘but he has been ordered to shoot. the first man caught smoking on that barge, and he'll doit. Thatds just the kind of chap he is.” Grant looked rather amused. I reckon he never intended to go near the old barge. He just wheeled his horse about and away he went. That evening I told the sentry all about the talk. The next morning he and the corporal were ordered up to the general's headquarters. The sentry was & colored man, but when he heard that Grant wanted to see him he was rather white. He went up. “‘Can you read?” asked Grant. *No, sah; I nebber had no chance to Ta'n.” *Do Jyou always know me when you see me?" “‘Yes, sah.” *Suppese I had gone on board that powder boat with a l,,vhtud cigur, what would you have done?” '‘Shot you, sah.” “But I'm your general,” exclaimed Grant. ‘‘Yes, sah; and wo jes' obeys yo' or- ders,” said the sentry. Grant looked the men all over, The corporal was trembling and the sentry was actually pale; both were as firm as rocks. At last the general relaxed. ‘‘Well, sir,” he said to the sentry, “We'll make I)u.mn corporal; and this other man shall be a sergeant. I pro- mote these men!” “'I tell you we didn't forget that,” said BSoldier Sam. Texans 8old by Whisky. A good instance of Texan honor was lately related b{ a colonel who fought on the union side. His regiment was beyond the pale of the sanitary commis- silon and supplics were scarce and irregu- lar. When the fedoral soldiers won a battle they had then to run away lest they should have prisoners on their hands to feed. At length, n spite of precautions, they took a number of pris- oners near Santa Fe, There was noth- ing to do but tosend them to the nearest United States fort, which was Fort Riley in Kansas, 500 miles distant. So 130 of these big, bold Texans were put on their honor and sent under the charge of eighteen union men mostly sick and wounded, and with the exception of two all reached Fort Riley and delivered thempelves up in good order. Per- haps the dearth of provisions in Texas might have had something to do with this, although it would be a pity 10 spoil the story by any such suggesvion. ‘This same regiment for six wecks was reduced to an allowance of ten ounces of flour per day for each soldier. There was absolutely nothing to be obtained in this part of t{o country, for the enemy had eaten up the rattlesnakes. During this time word came that a barrel of molasses had arrived in camp and this was hailed with delight as it was thought it would make their fried dough ver, palatable. But alas! when the barrel was opencd, despite its label, it was found to contain whisky. m*;hwthe disgust of the reghnenL his may seem incredible but it is related asa fact that the men had nocraving at all for liquor when it was out of their reach. It was different with regard to tobacco. They never coased to long for this, such of them as were addicted to it, and some even offered to their more lucky fellows a month's salary fora chew of tobacco. New Army Riflos, The ordnance department of the army is making preparations to begin the manufacture of the new army rifle at the Springfield armory immediately after the beginning of the new fiscal year. The rifie is of very small calibor, intended to use smokeless powaer and is a magazine arm. It is estimated within one year from July next the total output of the armory will be about 12,000 rifles, which is made possible by the use of most modern lx\gnr-ymvinu machinery. This number of rifles will probably suffice to arm the entire infantry and artillery branches. The carbine for cavalry use has not yet been designed, but will be pushed forward as rapidly as possible. It is expected at the ordnance department that there will be many calls for the new arm from the state militia organizations. These demands will be met as fast as the army equip- ment is complete, A Joke on the General. After whipping Hood and Forrest at Nashville and chasing them out of Ten- nesseo, says the Sunday Republic, Thomas embarked his army at Clifton, going up the nnessce river, arriving at Eastport, Miss., where the Sixteenti corps stopped, and the other portions of the army went on across the country to form a_junction with Sherman in Geor- gia. Those that went took all of the rations with them, although General Smith pleaded for part of them for his men. Still he had to submit and send for more rations, and we subsisted on shelled corn for ten da; Some of the officers did not like it, and one, o captain in our regiment, the Fifth Minnesota infantry, got ome of his men to_play a joke on the general. Accordingly he gota large piece of mule rope, such as they tie from tree to tree to hitch mules to feed them, tied it around the private soldier's ncck, and providing himself with a club about three-or four feet long, he went leading the man up past General Smith's head- quartérs, The general happening to be out on the poreh, called out: *Cuptain, what _are you going to do with that man?” The captain stopped suddenly, and after raising his hat and giving the proper_salute, replied: ‘‘General, he has had his hay and corn, and I thought 1 would lead him to water.” The gen- eral turned and walked into his'quarters without asking any more questions. Happy with Corns. “I have in my pocket a document which shows the size of the corns on which a pension was granted by Assist- ant Secretary Bussey, after the pension office physician had declared that they did not constitute disability.” It was Congressman John Tarsney of Missouri who said this to the reporter of the New York Times. The man who had the corns i{s James J. Hamlin, who served in company C, Eighty-sixth Illinois volunteers. His “disabilities” as given in the transeript of his case were two; one, insignificant annoyance from hemmorrhoids, and the other corns. This case was passed on by Dr. Alle- ger, and the memorandum on the papers in the cuse was this: “Rejected on ground of ‘no disability,’ by Dr. Alleger, and appealed to the assistant secretary of the interior.” Assistant Secretary Bussey reversed the doctor’s deeision, and the following memorandum was written: *‘From the above description I am of the opinion that a ratable degree of disability exists under the act of June 27, 1800. Cyrus Bussey.” « Sothe pension was granted for the corns. What a Saber Cut Is Like, “I hardly know how it feels to be shot, but T well realize how it feels to be cut, said O. D, Reeves of Indianapolis at the Lindell, “T enlisted ina cavalry regi- ment when I was 16, and put in four years for Uncle Sam. Do you see this scar?” said he. ‘“That was done at Nash- ville,” and he held up his left hand, which was almost encircled by a deep sear. “The boys were ordered to charge, and Thad emptied my pistols and had just drawn my saber when I saw bearing down upon me one of the largest men I ever saw. Our horses were both going at full speed,and he was headed direotly for me. Ho launched his blow first, and I instinctively threw up my hand, which fell helplessly by my side. The man flew past me and [ turned my horse to one side and rode far enough away to ex- amine my wound. No blood escaped; neither did I feel any pain until the wound was dressed a half hour later, Then reaction set in, and the strongest opiates were used for days to give me reo- lief from pain.” The Widow of General Belknap, Tall, superbly formed and a deolded brunette is Mrs, Belknap, the widow of General W. W, Belknap., She has lived very quietly at Washington since her husband’s death, in a modest home not far from Dupont circle, with her young daughter, to whose education shé gives most of her time. For her daughter's sake, she sometimes emerges from her retirement, At one of the latest and most select balls she was a lovely picture, with dark hair and eyes, fine complexion and beayr tiful neck and arms. Her gown was‘a plain one of heavy black silk, whose only imming was a little jet upon the per- fectly fitting, low, sleeveless bodice, and she wore few jewels, Mrs. Belknap was & Miss Tomlinson, of an old Virginia family, and, through her mother, a de- scendant of Sir Roger Thompson, one of Virginia's first settle; e His Bele Was His Bank. The St, Paul Globe tells about a cow- boy who entered a real estate office there and inquired the price of some lots. He didn't look as if he owned 4, 'and the clerks were inclined to guy him until he carelessly unbuttoned his vest and other articles of wearing apparel until a red leather belt was reached. This was taken offf and on being opened it was seen to be snugly packed with gold pieces. He counted out $500 and then replaced the belt. ‘How much do you carry with you?” asked the clerk. . *'Oh, I've had $2,000 in it, but this time I have only 81,500 with me. Itgets heavy when you tote it for weeks and months like I have,” he said. Then he buttoned up his clothing, after placing the deed for alot in the velt, and walked out. —— There are three tuigs worth savin Time, Trouble and money—and De Wll’ll Listle Early Risers will save them for you, These little pills will save you time, as they act promptly.

THE_OMAHA DAILY FEE: MONDAY, JUNE 19, 1893, THE HIGHWAYS 0F SCOTLAND Elements of Bucosss in Roadmakitg De- soribed by Commeroial Agent Reid. CORRECT LOCATION THE FIRST REQUISITE The Roads of Dunfermline Considered in Detall-Important Faocts Gleaned from the Experience of the Older Countries. , 1 [Reprinted by the Courtesy of “Good Roads."] Adam Smith, who was a citizen of this consular district, and whose great “-ork on the wealth of nations has, perhw more than any other cause, influenced comYaercial legislation both in this country and in other lands, used no uncertain language on the value of public roads as one of the primary ities of civilized 1ife and national pro plendid ronds had been constructed before his time. Their continued © 1,500 years after their construc- tion proved the skill and care of the master minds who planned and built them. But they were constructed in the interest of war. Roads had to be built to move armies for con- quest. Roads then becgme essential to hold the conquered countries, In these commerce had no clement or consideration, Indeed, 1t is nov ditficult to see that public roadways became thus the terror of nations. Even in this ocean-surrounded island, far from im- rial Rome, the roads of the Cuwesars en- tered and so terrorized the public mind that it was not until long after the middie of the nth century that turnpikes were first zed, and were even then inaugurated against the vigorous protests and prejudices of the common people. It seems strange also to know that to the Carthagenians, a people living on the northern coast of ‘“‘Darkest Africa,” must be given the credit of first innugurating the public road as the necessity of commerce. Down to the middle of the eighteenthicen- tury the roa of Scotland were of the Goods conveyed from ¢, where the distances were not at, were conveyed on horseback. Oat- Jcoal, turf and oven straw and nay were thus conveyed. This was the era of “cadgers.” Théy supplied the country with salt, fish, eggs and poultry. Kor longer routes carts were used. Through this very region to go a distance of thirty-cight miles and return required fourteen days. It took fourteen days, in 1 to go from here to London. Considering how old is the supposed civilization of this great country, one is surprised to read of one of its chief routes of travel as follows: “I know not how to describe this infernal road. Let mo most seriously caution all travelers who may accidentaily propose to travel this terrible country to avoia it as they would the devil. 1 passed three carts broken down inside ot eighteen miles of exe- crable memory. This is stated to show that dmaking even here is not an ancient science. Tne first turnpipe roads in Scotland were con- structed in 1700, e inst tho violent re- sistance and prejudices of the people, who regarded roads as aid to plunder. Except only the remains of the Roman road, the i 1 roads of the country are of com- y recent origin, but are now con- th the utmost care and main- tained with scrupulous fidelit, Roads in and Beyond Fite, arliest stone roads built through and i ot were constructed romby, an engineer of some note, e chief formula consistec of the follow- ing rules: . Never make a road ascend a single foot unless absolutely unavoidable, 2. Economy in maintenance depends on an easy gradient. 8. Hilly roads are full of danger, expensive to maintain and destructive to horses. The great Highland rouds were constructed with great care and skill und were adapted to the countr, ugh which they passed. Although v ng wild mountain ranges, casy gradients were everywhere secured and are unexcelled. Macadam Road and Steam Roller. Two men of quite recent date were largely instrumental in the introduction of a pen- eral system, which is still maintained in ite ential features. In 1810 M am elab- orated his plan of roadmaking and pre- sented it to the British Parliament. Upon its general plan a vast extension of the ma- cadam road immediately followed. Perhaps the most important auxiliary to good roadmaking, and by many engineers deemed absolutely essential, was supplicd by M. Polonceau in 1834, by the introduction of the steam roller. Excepting a very de- cided variance of opinion on the comparative advantages of soft and hard foundations, the macadam road is the generall soad of the country for country r has stood the test of long and va ence. Resistance to Traction, rs ago roadmaking science ex- f as follows as to tractio . Resistance is direculy proportional to the load and inversely to the diameter of the wheel. 2. Upon a paved road the resistance 1s in- dependent of the width of the tire wien it exceeds three to four inches. 8. At a walking pace the resistance is the same to carrisges with or without springs, but increases on the macadam roads with the velocivy, and less as the road 1s smooth and the carringo less rigid. 4. On soft rouds or freshly graveled roads the resistence to traction js iudependent of velocity. 5. 'The destruetion of roads increases with reduced wheel diameter and in carriages without springs. Gradients, The steepest gradient, according to one authority, that can be properly allowed on roads with a broken-stone covering is about ono in twenty, as this, from experience, according to the same authority, is found to be about the angle of repose upon roads of this character in the state in which they are usually kept. Ingineers of eminence insist, however, and with spparent justice, on a much lowergrade. SirJohu Macueil asserts, as a fact not generally kuown, that “if a rona has no greater inclinations than one in forty there is twenty per cent less cost for maintenance than where the inclination of the road is one to twenty. The additional cost is due not only to the greater injury by the action of hovses' feet on the steeper gradient but also to the cr fatigue of the road by the more fre- quent ecessity for sledging or braking the wheels in descent,” The same authority adds: *“Experience teaches that on broken-stone roads in per- fect coudition the resistence to vraction is of the gross weight of forty-filve pounds per ton, for which the augie of repcse 1s fifty, The traction force required is just double that which is required on a level.” Foundations. Mr. Macadam maintained that a soft and yielding founcation for a road is better than one that is firm and unyielding. He argued that a road on a soft foundation boing more fiiuldiug and clastic the mater- 1als of which the covering of the road was formed would be less likely to be crushed and worn away by the passage of & heavy trafic than on a hard solid. This theory of road foundation is still held by some, but rejested by the majority. Experience seems to have proved that there is no more general cause of bad roads than soft foundations. A flrm, solid and dry sub- stratum is necessary for the road materials to rest upon. ‘The outer surface of the road, it is urged, should be regarded merely as a covering to protect the uctual working road beneath, which should be sufficiently firm and substantial to support the whole of the trafic to be carried over it. The lower or subroad, properly provided for and the upper covering renewed from time to time, should last forever. The following are directions now generally in force: Where the expenditure is limited and the trafiic moderate every care should be taken to make the roadbed as solid as possible. If the grouud is wet, deep ditches should be cut on each side, and cross underdrains should be formed. Where the ground is very soft a layer of faggots or brushwood from four to six inches thick should be laid over the surface of the ground to receive the road materisls. Where the ground has been recently deposited the surface should be rolled or beaten to render as solid possible. Macadam’s theory of the advantage of soft foundations, especially when made o apply to roads likely to A heavy trafflo, seems now very generally Alscarded. The Macadam Theory. Tn 1816 Macadam pubAn practice his system of roadmaking, which-{s eminently worthy of restatement in this tnquiry. His principle was ''to put broken stone upon a road which shall unite by its own angles #0 as to form solid, hard surfacé, ' When this material is thus laid upon the road it must "cmn‘n ine the situation in which it s placed without ver being moved , whereas gravel, bo- #oro it badomes useful, hust move. its situa- tion and be in constany motion.” The prin- ciple was “to subatitute small, angular stones, such as resultad from the breakage of larger stones, for, reunded stones, so as to form a sort of mosaic or interlocking sys- tem.' This _system, which oxperience has thoroughiy tested and approved; the provision of solfd - foundations, = which soems to be proved of the first importance; and the use of the steam roller insecuring thorough impact, are the threc vital clements of the successful modern road. On these three principles of road buildin the following roads have been extended within a comparatively short period: Length o rond. _Area. Popula- Miles. 8q. Miles, tion.

Macadam gave the following testimony before a committee of the House of Commons, and which 18 practically the judgment of the most experienced road builders : “I consider that a road should be as flat as possible with regard to the water flowing off, because a carriage ought aiways to stand uptight. 1 have generally made ronds threo inches higher in the center than at the sides, and on this slope the water will easily escape. When the road is made flat peoplo will not follow the middic of it as they do when extremely convex. More water will stand on a_very convex road than on a flat, because all carviages seek an upright posic tion in the center, and the wear there will, of course, be greater.
