’LISTING IN THE ARMY. How Soldiers Are Secured- An Hour at the Boston Rendezvous. From the Boston Herald. Tiie other morning a young man, with a carpet sack in his hand, turned slowly from Hanover street into Portland street. As he looked up tjie latter highway he discovered a United States flag hanging from a staff which projected out of an upper window. Tiie young man's ayes brightened, and he gripped his carpet bag tighter. The flag showed him the place of which he was in search. Beneath the flag was a doorway. In the doorway stood a uniformed corporal, who put out hi.-j hand to stop the carpet bagger as he essayed to climb the stab’s. “What do you want? - ’ “Is this the place where they take men for the army ?’ “Yes.” “Well, I want to jine.” The corporal looked the young man over carefully. “How old are you!” he asked. “Twentv-oiie. ” “When?” “Last January.” “What year were you born in?” This proved a puzzler for a moment, but a little arithmetic made it all right. “In 1566.” “Got any wife or children?’ “No.” “Well, go along up and see the sergeant.” The young man wiped the sweat from his brow. He nad had no idea he would be asked so many questions. When the ser geant took him in hand the conundrums were renewed w r ith increased volume: “What is your name? Where were you bora? What* is your occupation? Age? Height? Weight?” and half a dozen other inquiries were made with rapidity. “So you want to go to the army?” said the sergeant, at last. “Yes.” “Were you ever in jail?” “No.” “Come in the other room, then.” The perspiration increased on the fore head of the young man, as he followed the sergeant. “Strip off your clothes.” “All of them?” “Cei-tainly.” Then the surgeon got hold of him, and that functionary made as thorough an ex amination of the youth as though he in tended to buy him. He looked him over with great care, felt of his skin, explored his scalp, bored into his ears, looked at his eyes, investigated his nostrils, peered down his mouth, stared in his face, fingered his neck and thumped his chest. The candi date for glory began to look tired. “Extend your arms above your head,” commanded the surgeon. “Now cough.” The candidate coughed. He had lungs like a horse.” “Tqke a long step forward with your right foot. Bend your knees. Assume” this position.” The surgeon put his victim through a dozen evolutions, ending with having him cock the hammer of a rifle to see whether his thumb was sufficiently strong. Then he weighed him on the scales; then he meas ured his height and chest, noted his com plexion, color of eyes and hair, and wrote down the facts on a blank. After that he resumed his questionings. He asked that young man what was the nationality of his father and mother; what sicknesses he had ever experienced; whether both his parents were living, and if not, why; whether any of his brothel’s and sis ters were dead and what ailed them; if he was IN THE HABIT OF GETTING DIZZY, having headaches, fluttering of the heart, shortness of breath, cold in the head or rheumatism; if he had ever been troubled with sore eyes or running ears, or fits; if he drank liquor and how much; if he often hail the “horrors;” as well as many other play ful things relating to his past life and con duct, all of which seemed to give the sur geon great satisfaction and the young man much dissress. Then that surgeon seemed suddenly stricken with contrition, and indorsed on the blank which he had filled out: “Knowledge of English language, good; comparative intelligence, excellent; figure and general appearance, fine.” At the foot of this he wrote his name, and filled up the other spaces as they should be. The sergeant signified to the” young man that he had passed, his examination with credit, and could sign the enlistment paper, which he did, looking proud as well as ex hausted when he saw his name appear. “Hold up your right hand,” said the ser geant, arid he proceeded to swear the re cruit in as a soldier of the army of the United States for a period of five years, un less he should sooner he discharged by proper authority; making him agree to ac cept such bounty, pay, rations and clothing as might be established by law; to bear time faith and allegiance to the United States and serve them honestly against all enemies whomsoever; to obey the orders of the Presi dent of the United States and all officers ap pointed over him, according to tho rules and articles of war. Bnt a short time elapsed before the re cruit appeared dressed in a United States forage cap, trousers, blouse, undershirt, blue flannel shirt, drawers, socks, shoes and suspenders of Uncle Sam’s regulation uni form, and was sent in charge of a corporal to a neighboring loarding house. Sergt. M. J. McNally, who had assisted at these ceremonies, kindly gave desired infor mation to a reporter, who had been an in terested spectator. “This man,” said he, “whom we have iust enlisted, w’ill be sent in a few days to )avid’s Island, Now York heritor, where the recruits for the infantry service are kept three months before being sent to the ranks of the regular army. If lie had wished to join the cavalry, and had shown qualifica tions for that branch, he would go to the Hudson street depot, so-called, at No. 174 Hudson street, New York city. We do not send less than six of them* from hero at a time, and a corporal takes charge of them en route. This is the only recruiting ren dezvous in Massachusetts, and is in charge of Capt. Samuel McKeever, of the Second United States Infantry, which is now sta tioned at Fort Omaha. There are twenty six of these rendezvouse sin the country. The rules for enlisting men stipulate that they shall lie of good character and habits, sound health; unmarried, childless, not un der 21 nor more tjian 85 years of age. For the infantry a man must !>c not less than 5 feet 4 inches in height, and weigh between 12(1 and 1 Impounds. He may be ns much taller as he likes, but in the cavalrv he can not, be over 6 feet 10, or weigh over 165. He nun Lu OF ANY COLOR OR NATIONALITY, but must reaii and write English and take the oath to support the laws. His pay will bn *lB a montn the first two years. *l4 the third, *ls the lourth and sl6 the fifth. This aggregates S7NO for his five years, besides nfl food, transportion, and S2OO in money with w hich tei purchase clothing. If he is anxious to earn more than these sums he con usually get extra pay for detail work. A laborer often gets $1(1 a month extra, and a mechanic or clerk sls. He can brush up his education under good teachers if he choosee. The non-commissioned officers are also chosen from the enlisted men. Those who hecome corporals get $2 a month ad vance, those who are appointed second, third, fourth or fifth sergeants get $4 extra, and a first sergeant, $9. Once a year those of the non-commissioned officers, who have served two years and desire it, are examined for promotion, and some of them come out second lieutenants. I think there are men in tiie regular army holding as high a rank as Colonel who enlisted like the fellow you saw here to-day.” “How rnaiiy are recruited in Boston? . “We took in 450 in the year ending .Tune 1. We are very carol ul now to send out only the very best applicants, as a recent letter from headquarters informs us that, tho army only lacked, on May 10, of its whole complement, 801 men for white cav- alry, 181 for colored cavalry. 10S for white artillery and infantry, and” fifteen for col ored.” “Don’t the raw recruits often get sick of their bargain ?” “Undoubtedly many do during the first few’ months. They are homesick for a while, but after that they like it. Many re-enlist when the first five years are over. ‘ ‘ Supposi tig thej- desert ?” The penalty is from two to five years in the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. ’’ “I see,” said the reporter, “that you make each recruit say that he has no wife or children. What if you discover afterward that he has falsified f “We can’t do much about it,” said Sergt. McNally. “Sometime a man’s wife goes to the officers of the army and gets her hus band discharged. We never recognize a wife by allowing her privileges about the barracks. Probably some men lie about this matter, but not many.” “And if an enlisted man should get mar ried some day w’hile out on a stroll ?’ “We couldn’t help it; it has been done.” THE POWER OF AN ACTOR. The Girls Who Admire the Leading Actors in New York. New York, June 11. —No better illustra tion of what good actors can do for a play hasoccurred recently than “Hypocrite” fur nishes at the Fourteenth Street Theatre. The play was written by the obtrusive and noisy John A. Stevens and another man. The other man’s name escapes me. So it does every one else. It is lost in the redundancy, force and notoriety of John A. Stevens. The dramatic critics gave the play such twisting and scorching hot condemnation and abuse that the theatre has been crow’ded to the doors ever since the first night. “Hypo crite” came very near being a great play. It is the story “Othelio” reversed. The sche mer, plotter and villain is a mulatto who hates his master and first poisons his bene factor’s mind against his wife and then at tempts to poison him. There is no end of striking situations, a scene with a maniac and a violent death. What makes the pro duction remarkable is tho excellence of the cast. There are three leading men in the principal parts—Osmund Tearle, Herbert Kelsey and Newton Gotthold. The occasion offers an admirable opportunity to compare them. Tho honors for force and power fall to Mr. Gotthold, but Kelsey is in excellent form, and Tearle has gained much in grace and vivacity during his recent tours both in America and England. The audience was three-quarters feminine. In many in stances there were three or four women in a party, with only a small boy or a prodig iously sleepy old gentleman for an escort. The women were always armed with opera glasses. Can anyone explain the extraordinary charm that the fashionable leading men exert? New York is still talking of the Kyrle Ballew farewell. The actor was mobbed by women. It was the occasion of his last mati nee before he sailed for England. The com pany was playing in Daly’s Theatre, and after the performance the actors hurried home to dinner. The stage entrance of the theatre is on Sixth avenue, in a neigh borhood that is famous for brawls and houses of unsavory reputation. Bellew was tardy. It was quite late when he finally strode out of the stage door and started back abashed. There were throe hundred women crowding around the door waiting to get a last look at the idol. Across the street were more, and there were little groups of silly and shameless feminine fools scattered about. Further along they stood waiting on the corners to see him pass by. Were they ladies? Every woman is a “lady” in Ameri ca, I suppose. All of the love sick ereat tures in that mob were well dressed—many of them magnificently so—and they seemed to be ashamed of themselves. I have seldom seen so many distinctively handsome girls. Very few were beyond 20 years of -age, though here and there were dried and eager spinisters beside themselves with excite ment. Bellew started out again. The wom en pressed towards him. Their eyes fairly started from their heads as they glared into the actor’s face. Ha scowled, and, stepping back again, caught the eye of a cabman who was watching the scene from afar with a look of blank amazement. The cab rolled up to the gutter, Mr. Bellew made his way rapidly through the crowd of yearning crea tures, and jumping in slammed the door and yanked the curtain down. “Where to, sir?’ bellowed the driver through the roof. “Anywhere,” came from a voice within that was surcharged with anguish. “Any where, but for the love of heav en get me away from these things!” Tho cab rolled around the corner and the women, looking monstrously unhappy, drifted away amid the jibes and jeers of the crowd. Blakely Hall. A Ravenous Eagle. A writer in the Dublin Gazette says: On May 8 I saw a fight between an eagle and a buzzard. I was walking beside the swamp, about two miles below my plantation, when I heard a roaring sound like that made by a train in rapid motion, or by a heavy wind. The noise approached nearer and nearer and grow louder and louder. I looked all around but could see nothing, and was at a loss to know what caused the disturbance until I happened to look up, when I saw two large fowls fighting in mid air, about the height of a tall pine tree from the ground. - In a short while both fell to the ground only about twenty steps from me. I then saw that it was a very large eagle which had caught a buzzard as her prey. For three minutes I never saw feathers fly so in my life. The eagle hopped off a "few feet distant and warily surveyed her prey. She then hopped up to the buzzard, turned it over with one claw, and having become satisfied that it was dead, flew up into a pine and gave two screams which could easily have been heard a mile. She sailed off over the swamp, re turning in a short while with four young eagles about the size of a large hawk. They all pitched upon the buzzard and com menced tearing it in pieces. Just such ehat , tering I have never heard. There was a grown hog feeding near by, and no doubt smelling the blood, trotted up to where the eagles were. The old mother eagle screamed amUstruck the hog, cutting one of tho hog’s ears off even with its head. re treated and the eagle struck it n this time taking off a part of its tail. J then advanced, but did not desire a fight, and hence moved off in the opposite direc tion leaving her and family to peacefully complete their ineal. The eagle, lam satis fied, would measure twelve or fifteen l'oet from tip to tip of wings, and was capable of bearing away a small child. If I had been provided with a gun I might have killed the mother and captured all of the young. Mr. lister, u few days afterward, found the hog dead. A Rat and Snake Fight. From the Ijcifayette Messenger. One of our popular young farmers, noted for truthfulness as well as modesty, tells the following story of a fight between a rat and a snake. He,was at, his stable one morning not long ago, and alter doing some chores around the lot he rat down and began to meditato—lie is given to such things oeea sionlly—and while sitting on the fence near his Stable he saw a snake erawl out from under the crib in quite a hurry; presently a large rat followed and attacked the snake fiercely. It jqinped upon his snakes hip, and at qnee the reptile coiled and endeavored to strike the rat, but it was quick and escaped the bites, meanwhile plying its own teeth in a fearless manner. The rat and snake clinched, rolled up in a wad, tho snake try ing to roil around the rat. Just at that mo ment the rat, securing u good chunce seized the snake near its tail and bit it terribly. In much pain and agony the serpent quickly gave up the fight and made off, the rat following a short distance, and then return ing went back to the crib. Several times it owns out and smelled along through tho weeds, as if scenting the snake. It is sup posed that the snake had oaten the old rat’s young, and it was determined to have re veiice. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, JUNE 12. 1887-TWET.VE PAGES. MY FIRST DEAD INDIAN. By Buffalo Bill. From the London Globe. I am perfectly well aware that for a man to boast of his own prowess is not dignified, and more especially is this the case when that man occupies a somewhat prominent ]Kition, however temporarily, before a pub lic hitherto unacquainted with his past ca reer; but to be reminiscent a man must naturally refer to incidents in that career which have assisted him to attain that prom inent position, and that is why on this occa sion I refer to my first dead Indian. This much being granted I have demonstrated be yond dispute that I am not prompted by any feelings of vanity when I stand before them briefly sketching the outlines of my not un eventful career m the wild West, which will, I think, on its own merits, compare favora bly with any biography’ hitherto written. I would further state that, in briefly detailing the outline of my past career, I rely entirely on the facts to which I refer, and not on any claims which I may or may not possess in being the master of any particular style of merit, but the reverse. I was born in February’, 1845, in the State of lowa. I need not go 'into details respect ing my family, and can dismiss my youth briefly’ by saying that when I was not on a horse I was just being thrown off one. I soon became a pretty smart rider and my practice with a gun was pretty good, too. I was twelve years old when I killed my first Indian. It happened rather sudden. I was walking out by the river, uear Fort Kearney, one nignt about 10 o’clock. My companions had got on ahead somehow and I was quite alone, when looking up toward the bluff bordering the river I saw, illuminated by the moon, the head and shoulders of a live Indian, watching me with evident interest. Now Iliad heard many stories of the doings of the red men, and bad also l>eoii inculcated with a thorough distrust of their ways; so. quickly coming to a conclusion as to what I should do, I brought my gun to my shoulder and, aiming at tne head, fired. Tiie report sounded louder than usual in the silence of the night, for it was past 10 o’clock, and was followed by a warwhoop such as could only be built up by an Indian, and the next in stant over six feet of dead Indian came down splash into the river. Soon after this I went to business. I took to the plains and, in the employ of Messrs. Russell and Simpson, soon learned the ins and outs of the wild life led with horses and cattle-driving teams, riding express ponies and getting to know the land! Among other things, I somehow found out how to hunt buffalo, a sport second to none, if you know how. I shall never forget the faces of five officers I met on the prairie once, now many years ago. They were after a herd of buff alo. So was I. We exchanged views. I gave them my ideas, they gave me their sympathy. “You surely don’t expect to catch buffalo with that Gothic steed,” said they. “I am going to try,” I said. “You’ll never do it, man alive,” said the captain. “It wants a fast horse to overtake buffalo.” “Does it?” I responded. “Yes, but you can come with us, if you like.” And I did like. There were eleven buffalos in the herd and, while the officers rode straight at them, I headed the leaders and got up to them with ease. The horse which my companion had been chaffing was the famous Brigham, who knew as much about the sport as I did; he speedily did his part of the business. A few jumps brought us up to the herd. Raising “Lucretia Borgia,” my trusty weapon, I aimed at the first ani mal, fired and brought him down. Brigham, like the ideal animal that he was, carrying me rapidly up to the next brute, not ten feet away; and, when I had dropped him, bound ed on to the next, and so on, until I had slain th e whole eleven animals, and then my herse stopped. I dismounted to regard my work with a feeling of satisfaction. Those officers rode up shortly and I shall never forget their expression as they surveyed the work of five minutes lying around. My horse Brigham was an exceptionally intelligent brute. He took the keenest de light in sport and invariably took pains to aid me in getting game. All he expected of me was to do the shooting. The rest was his work. He would alw’ays stop if the buffalo did not fall at the first shot, so as to give me a second chance; but if I did not bring him down then he would go on disgusted. It w’as in 1867 that the Kansas Pacific track was in the buffalo country and the company was employing over 1,200 men in the making of the road. The Indians were very troublesome and it w’as not always easy to get sufficient supplies of fresh meat for the men. It was about this time that Messrs. Goddard, the contractors to tho con structors, made me a handsome offer, pro vided I would undertake to hunt for them. They required twelve buffalos per diem. The” work was somewhat dangerous owing to the Indians, but the terms were hand some—ssoo per month. I took tho offer and in loss than eighteen months, during which time my engagement laded, I killed 4,280 buffalos single-handed, and hnd manv scrim mages with the Indians and hairbreadth escapes. It was during this period of my career that I had my celebrated bufftdo killing match with Bill}’ Comstock, the noted scout, then at Fort Wallace. The terms were settled as follows: We were to hunt one day of eight hours, from Ba. m. to 4p. m. The stakes were SSOO aside and the man who killed the most buffalo was to lie declared the winner. The contest took place twenty miles oast from Sheridan and many thousand people came from all parts to see the sport. We were fortunate on finding animals and had plenty of sport. We made throe runs each and I killed sixty nine buffalos, ray rival being content with forty-six. Not a bad day’s work, a (lay which is au historical one for me, inasmuch as since then 1 have invariably been referred to in all parts of the civilized world ns Buff alo Bill. I have now come to that point in my life when events, which in this case did not cast their shadows before, brought about an en tire change in the routine of my career, a point which may be said to close the first volume of my history. I feel, therefore, that this is an appropriate moment at which to break off this narrative, tho more espe cially as the numerous claims on my time and attention, social as well as imperative, render it no easy matter for ino to sit down anil wieid the pen as energetically as I could “Lucretia Borgia” years ago. Before doing so, however, I should greatly like to say a few words respecting a topic which I much regret to find is understood in the inverse proportion to which it is discussed. I refer to that unique specimen of humanity, the cowboy of to-day. In order brief I will, like a cowboy, take the bull by the horns and lay down the axiom, once for all and most emphatically, that a cowboy is not a blackguard; nay, more—ho is in nine cases out of ten* better than his fellows, more especially as in nine eases out #f ten his fel lows are the offspring of an effete civiliza tion. He has certain attributes that %ju mead him to croatlon. He is manly, oils and brave. Ha is not merely a impulse, but uses the gifts given him by h| Maker with a discretion which might wclfq lie copied by more of us. In putting in these few words for a class of men wiio have oidy to lie understood to lie admired, I speak after years of study, resulting in a conviction which nothing can shake. I will next pro ceed to detail some of the events in which I took part in my capacity as chief of scouts of the United States army—a position which I mn proud to say I filled under thirty-one generals in the field. “Said Aaron to Moses, Let's cut off our noses." Aaron must, have been a sufferer from ca tarrh. The desperation which catarrh pro duces is often sufficient to make people say and do many rash things, and many con tinue suffering just as if no such cure as Dr. Wage’s Catarrh Remedy existed. It cures everv ease from the simplest to the most complicated, and all the consequences of catarrh. A person once cured by Rr. Wage’s Catarrh Remedy will not be apt to take <i)ld again, as it loaves the mucous mem brane healthy aud strong. By druggists. DRY GOOD*. Says Is IJ|i! ill Cray fl O’Bmn’s Prices Are Down!
