6 «10" THE SOLDIER NUST G0 The Aborigines Do Not Take Well to the Discipline of the Army, ARMY AND NAVY EACH LOSE A HERO War's Grim Humor Tiinstrated In Odd In- ®ldents-General I'arker's Story About Grant—What General Sheridan Thought, The Tndian as a soldior is not popular with the administration, we are in- formed through a_speeinl to the San Francisco Chronicle. The fact is the fad for improving the condition of the savage by utilizing him as a soldier has proved a'tlat failure he plan has been pursued for two years and now that tho experimental stage is over army peoplo have summed up the results as far from satisfact Some time before the last admimstra- tion closed the War department author ties pronounced the experiment of donbt- ful value, and Mr. Elkins gave no en- couragement whatever to extending the project as outlined by his prodecessors. B stary Lamont thinks even loss of the Indian as a soldier than did Mr. Elkins. Orders wero issued recently for the muster out of two Indian troops, one at Spokane and the other at Fort Walla Walla. Another at Fort Wingate, N. M., was discharged some time ago. It is believed to be only u question of a short time when the remaining dozen or more companies will be mustered out and the Indians sent back to their reser- vations. The determination to dispense with this cluss of soldiers is partly duo toa desire of the Indians thomselves to quit the service. For a short time they appeared to enjoy the novelty of army life, but it long ago became apparent that the young bucks were becoming dissatisfied under the restraints inci- dent to army discipline. Lately there has been such whole scattering among the Indian soldiers that the few left in the three companies designated made it necossary to disband the com- panies entire Desertions have been particularly numerous among the Indian soldiers, but many of them have paid as high as $150 to cancel their contract with the arm; The other companies are being gradi- ally depleted in the samoe way. It has been a long time since any of them have been recruited to theirauthorized quota, and all attempts toward further Indian recruiting was stopped carly in the pres- ent administration. Death of General Vandever. al General William Vandever died at his residence in San I'rancisco on the 23d inst. at the age of 76 years, from the result of an attack of heart disease. William ndever was born in Balti- more, Md., March 31, 1817. At 10 years of age he removed with his parents to Philadelphia, where he rece the benefits of a common school and nead- emic education. He removed to Illinois in 1839 and to lowa in 1851. He was a lawyer by profession, and was elected a representative in congress from Towa in 1858, earning a re-cl on in 1860, During the exciting times on the breaking out of the rebellion he resigned his scat in congress and entered the army as colonel of the Ninth regiment, Towa infantry. He wus promoted to brigadier general of volunteers in 186: He commanded divisions in the Thir- teenth, Fourteenth and Sixteenth army corps, and he was an eflicient soldier until the close of the war, earning a brevet major generalship in 1865. Presi- dent Grant appointed him an Inaian in- spector, 1n which office he served four years, General Vandever came to California in 1884, Here he again entered the litical arena and w elected to the "iftieth congress to represent the Sixth distric!.. He was re-elected to the Fift; first congress as a republican, receiying 35,406 votes agains cast for Reel B. Terry votes for Miller, prohibitionist, and 150 votes for A. Daggett, American. Reuar Admiral Smith Dead, Rear Admiral Melancthon Smith, who died at Green Bay, W July 19, after two days illness, was born in New York on May 24, 1810. He was the son of a soldier of the sameename, who gerved as an officer of the regular army in the war of 1812, Admiral Smith's grand- fatner was a continental congressman. Young Smith entered the navy as a mid- shipman in the latter "part of 1826. He became a passed midshipman in the spring of 1832, and was commissioned licutenant on March 8, 1837. When serving on the steamer Poinsett in 1839 he commanded a fort during an engagement with tl BSeminoles in Florida. He cruised in the frigate Constitution on the Mediter- rancan station from 1848 to 1851, and, aftor being commissioned commander in 1855, beeamo o lighthouse inspector. ‘While in command of the Massachusetts off Ship Island. in the Gulf of Mexico, on July 9, 1861, he had an engagement with a confederate fort and three rebel steamers, and, in December of that year, he forced the surrender of Fort iloxi on the gulf. When in command of the Mississippi he passed Forts Jack- son and St. Philip, and destroyed the confederate ram Manassas. Furragut said of the conflict: *“*Loyall would have been delighted as I was to seo the contest between the old Mississippi and the Hollis ram Manassas after we had passed the forts, I saw the ram coming up. 1 hailed Melancthon Smith and told him to run her down. Smith turned his ship head down stroam and they ran at cach other, We all looked on with intense anxiety. When within fifty yards the cnemy’s heart failed him and he ran on shq Smith Puurcd ina broadside which riddled her. Thus ended the Hollis ram. he Hoated down stream on five from her own fu naces, the officers and men making the escape to the shore,” Admiral Smith took part in the attack on Fort Hudsog. The Mississippi grounded in an attempt to run the bat- teries at that point, and he set her on fire to prevent her falling into the hands of the enemy. The Nuvy department commended his course. He was pro- moted to captain in July, 1862, In 1864 he had command of the monitor Onon- daga, and when in charge of the squad- ron in Albemurle Sound, N. C., he re- captured the steamer Bombshell, He took part in both attacks on Fort Fisher in the steamer Wabash, He was com- missioned commodore in 1866, and rear admiral in 1870, when he took charge of the Brooklyn Navy yard., After his re- tirement, in May 1871, he was appointed overnor of the Nuvy asylum in Phila- s«uphlm A Monument Unvelled, Between 12,000 and 15,000 people cheered at Delphi, Ind., last Friday, when a little girl pulled the string that unveiled Carroll county's $12,000 mon- ument, evected in memory of her sons who went to the defense of the union. A number of distinguished gentlemen were present, among them being Gov- ernor Matthews, General Mahlon D, Manson, Hon, Jumes T, Johuson, state commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, sud General Willism H.

Let a group of veterans fall to dis- cussing the days of civil war, and it is always with hearty laughter over this funny story or that sticring anecdote. Lying behind a fallen tree, under heavy fire from the enemy on the other side of the riv old Steinbach, as brave an old Gorman as ever ate sanerkraut, who was next me, was struck just benecath the collar-bor aspent ball, which buried itself a full inch in the flesh, Running his fingors in he pulled out the shot, and holding it up said, with a twinkle of the oye Toy, what you tink of da It was the fivst fight our regiment got in, and presumably tho first one the enemy had as well, raw troops both of us, Here they came till within rifle range of us, when we could seo them aim and as they did so the whole com- mand, fell on their faces to let the fire pass over them. At this sight the ad- vancing column paused involuntarily, and borne on the wind tou me the horeiied exelamation of, “My God, boys, wo've killed them all!"” But it did not take long to prove to them that for dead men we could do somo lively fighting. Wo have all known of officers losing their heads on the field of battle, but one memorable day there was one who d, or rather lost his body, though the he the mouth, continued in activ indeed, in accelerated ser time. In other words, it s-w: The charge was being made over ground that had been a farm, and just where this officer passed had been an oid well which had been covered over with branches of trees and earth piled above that, so there was no sign of its presence, until, leading his _men on, this gallant captain suddenly felt the ground grive way beneath him. Throw- ing out both arms he was able to keep his head above the walls of the pit, but his manly legs dangled wildly in air that had never seemed 80 empty before. Tho company halted in amazement: this disappearance had something of the magical in it. He was there just now, and now he wasn't there, and where was he? Butthe remains—above ground— soon settled this question, but it took days of abject meekness on the part of that company to wipe out from the cap- s memory the unfeeling laughter of the men as they helped him out. Attached to our command was an old farmer who joined us first as an inde- pendent camp follower, puying his way, and just “going along to look after” his two boys who were in the ranks. But the first heavy fire we were under the old man began to get excited, and by and by he climbed a little hillock and, ina pause of the shooting, shouted to his sons, whom he had kept near: **Boy oh, I say, boys, you'll have to look after yourselves; I've got all 1 can 'tend to un- der my own'hat; I'm to the rear!” A brave but comical thing that set several hundred men shrieking with laughter even under fire occurred at the battle of Shiloh, and doubless will be remembered by those living still who witnessed it. A tall, gaunt Toxan, with his trousers rolled up to the knee, and barefooted, in his excitement got about thirty yards ahead of his com- mand, which was advancing to try to dislodge a detachment of the enemy, and intent on aiming at the blue coats, did not heed where he was going. P enty he ran into a b oceupied by a swarm of ‘yellow juckets” (hornets) which immediately rose to resent ‘the in- trusion. They fairly covered his legs, but there was no runin the fellow, so with his wide brimmed hat he would reach down and sweep his limbs clear of the irate insccts, then straighten up and fire at the enemy. The yellow jackets would gather again buzzing furi- ously, but the blue o@s laughed so that y had to stop firing to wipe their clear of the tears that kept them from aiming and they cheered him when in a pause he shouted, “Don’t you laugh, you yellow jackets. Just you wait till I get these derned Yankees off my legs!” Under the circumstances most of us would have gotten a little mixed up too, General Mel, as an Architeot. Perhaps no bureau of the government is more considered and more talked about these days than the pension bu- reau, The great amount expended for pensions and the prevalent belief that there are thousands of men on the pen- sion rolls who have no business to be there, together with the strong effort now being put forth to correct whatever of evil and abuse existing in the pension office, directed public attention to this bureau more generally than ever, Vis- itors who come here now all want to see the pension office, and when they sce it wonder how such a barnlike structure was ever erected for a great public bu- reau, The architect of the pension building was the late Goneral Montgomery C. Meigs, who was one of the best known officers in the army. As un engineer he designed and constructed Cabin Joint bridge, the largest stone arch in the world, as well as other engincering works, militavy and civil, of great merit, During the war he was made quarter- master general and was remarkably efficient” in that position He was always a good deal of an architect, designing his own residence on Vermont avenue, und helped to design the war, state and navy building and the National museum in this city. He was the sole architect of the pension office, taking his model from a celebrated ducal plac in Italy. To say that the building is ugly is to flatter it. About the time it was building Meigs met General Sher- idan and asked him what he thought of the building. ‘I have got only one objection to it,” said Sheridan. i 'Wnat is that?” inquired Meigs anx- ously *The damn thing is fireproof,” replica She'ridan with all the brutal frankness of a soldier. The building has upon its exterior a frieze in terra cotta work representing military scen The most remarkable thing about it is that all the cavalrymen ou this fricze are left-handed. [t al- ways annoyed Meigs to eall his attention to these “southpaw” sabreurs. Me 48 & penman, was as bad as Horac Greeley or ' Rufus Choate. His chirography was simply indeserib- able and ~ undeciphersble, To one unused to it the best description of it was applied to Choate's signature, which was said to resemble a gridiron struck by lightning. General Sherman, nuuu;{h whose hands a great desl of Meigs' official correspondence passed, and who was always frank and informal | In hise ndorsements upon official papers, once wrote under the endorsement Meigs had made upon an official paper the fol- lowing: ‘I heartily concur in the endorsement of the quartermaster general, but I don't know what it says.” AUGUST 7, 189 LIGHT SHINES ONCE MORE Wall Street Seos Relief from the Depres- sion Oomihig" Olose at Hand, An Episode of General Grant.

He is one of the most interest- ing characters I have ever known. He is a full b'ooded Indian chief of the Six nations and _a lineal descendant of Red Jacket, the famous chief. Parker has received a liberal education, having been trained to the profession of civil engineer. He was at that time in the thirties, and was one of the finest specimens of manhood that one would wish to see. He made the engrossed copy of General Grant's pencil notes of the terms of the surrender of Lee's army at Appomattox. He re- mained on staff duty until Grant's inau- guration as president, when he became commissioner of Indian affairs. “‘After the war he was on duty at West Point for a time, and while there witnessed an interesting little incident. General Grant, then at the head of the army, visited West Point during the summer encimpment. He was attended by his entire staff. One bright sunny morning he left the house of the superintendent of the academy, with whom he was staying, and surrounded by his staff strolled over t0 the encampment to call upon the com- mandant. The entire party was in\uin- dress uniform. When his coming was an- nounced by the sentinel on duty, he sim- ply saluted, and with that disregard for tho pomp and circumstance of war which characterized him, he declined to have the guard turned out in his honor. Pa ing the line of guard tents the party strolled across she parade grounds in the divection of the commandant's quart The tents of the cadets were situated between the parade ground and the commandant’s tent.

In his weekly letter, Henry Clews, the Wall street authority, says ‘At last, Wall street begins to see light, During tho week, new factors have entered into the situation of a character calculated to afford a large and permanent relief to suf- foring interests. The misfortunes that have befallen the Chicago speculators have proved to be a benefit to the whole country. Their withholding of grain and other kinds of prod- uce from the usual courseof export for several months was largely the cause of the heavy drain of gold that introduced the ex- isting troubles. The stringency which they 80 largely helped to create has at last com- pelled them to realize at ruinous losses, and their broducts are going direct to Kurove and forcing back the gold they had driven out of the country. Already some $12,000,- 000 of gold is on s way hither and stiil larger amounts are expected to follow. This is one of the reliofs that has appeared within the week. “‘Anotner helptul condition has arisen out of the heavy break in_securities last week. The chance it afforded of buying our best securities at 20 to 30 per cent below their average price has brought out a steady stroam of buying orders from London and other European ceuters, and tho amount exported, though not definitely known, must aggregate many millions in value. This again has created a large amount of bills on Europe and contributed to the importation of gold. For the moment, this movement has somewhat abated, partly in consequence of some recovery in the prices of securitics and partly owing to the Bank of England having on Thursday advanced its rate of discount from 214 to 8 per cent; but as all the symptoms show a decided foreign gain was what is known as tho color | Of confidence in our investmonts, and as that line.

Grant had his inevitable cigar in his mouth, and as he crossed the color line was en- gaged in conversation and did not appear to note his surroundings. In short, he failed to salute the colors. Most of the stafl smiled as they saw the sentinel preparing to call the corporal of the guard.

He Pald Back mn Overdose of Soup in Dirty Sugar. A Wisconsin lumbermantold a repor- ter of the St. Paul Globe an amusing story the other day. Inone of the lum- ber camps of that state there was a cook who was much bothered by a certain Indian, who was'always ‘‘kennebutch,” or hungry. One duay the cook deter- mined that he would fixhim. He came around and brought his appetite as usual. That day the cook had soup— gallons of soup. The buck happened in after supper and there was plenty of soup left. The buck was given a large basin full, which he quickly devoured. The cook filled it up again and said: “lat.” The Indian looked surprised, but he consumed the soup. The cook filled the basin again. The buck shook his head. Then the eook seized a huge arving knife and leaped toward his guest, again commanding him to eat. The Indian again went to thé bottom of the basin. He was so full of soup that he was nearly ready to burst. He left shortly after and never came again. This was the cook’s inning—the [ndian’s camo later, One spring d two years later, this same cook took a friend with him to an Indian camp to witness their process of making maple sugar. All at once the Indian who had been so liberally sup- plied with soup appearved. He seemed very glad to see his old friend, the cook. He ‘presented him with a huge piece of maple sugar. The cook tasted it, dirty though it was, out of courtesy, and handed it back. Now came the Indian’s inning. He forced that cook to eat so much maple sugar timt he was made ill, and has had a prejudice against it ever since, —_————— ‘To cure nervousness your nerves must be fod by pure blood.
