ASS IN I NIT Y SUBLIME,
———
A Yankee So-called Soldier Tells a Sor
rowful Expo lie uce—Put to Itoute
by Yellow Jacket*.
We have been a good deal amused in
reading a book called, “Minty and the
Cavalry,” which purports to be a history
of Hit* operations of one of General Sher
man's cavalry commands in North Geor
gia during the Atlanta Campaign of
LSI *4.
We are prepared to assert that Sher-
man’s cavalry did many tilings in that
campaign very much to its credit; but
we are also prepared to assert that the
book reads more like the adventures of
Don Quixote, or the history of Baron
Munchausen than liks a real history of
real operations by real men anti horses.
There are a number of instances recited
of where two or tldee companies of Fed
eral cavalry routed whole brigades or
held entire divisions of Confederate cav
alry in check. It is true that these events
did not occur that way during the war;
but they are in the book all the same,
(hie of the most laughable inventions in
the entire book, however, is that which
purports to give the history of a fight
with sand flies near Kingston, Ga.
This was just offer he had narrated
the valorous achievements of the Fourth
Michigan cavalry at Farmer’s bridge
over Armunchee Creek, where this regi
ment, the athor says, whipped Jackson’s
division of infantry, Smith brigade of
cavalry (There was no Jacksox's division
of infantry and there was no Smith’s
brigade of cavalry in Johnson's army,
lattice the romance is consistent with
itself as a romance.) ami Ross’s division
of cavalry, on May 15th ; and after the
same regiment, he says, on May 17t‘h at
tacked and drove a division of Confeder
ate infantry a half mile to Kingston,
where it took refuge behind barricades
and was re-enforced by cavalry.
In view of these fame-claiming exploits
it is a little strange, however, that Gen.
Sherman, timing the period when it is as
serted they happened, criticised the effi
ciency of Garrard’s division of cavalry,
of which Minty’s command was a part,
until Garrard himself wrote to Captain
Dayton, of Sherman’s staff on June 21st,
as follows:
“I regret exceedingly that on several
occasions the Major General Command
ing (Sherman), has seen fit to write as if
lie were dissatisfied with my activity, and
zeal. * * * My service with the cavalry
this campaign has been very unsatisfac
tory, for I have been made to feel more
than once that it was not equal to the
occasion, etc.”
But to return to the immediate subject,
the truth of the matter is there are no
such things as sand flies in upper Geor
gia. They swarm along the sea coast,
and are great pests there; but so far as
being in upper Georgia is concerned, they
are like monkeys and parrots, only there
when they are brought in boxes, etc.
With this fact in mind the author's
imaginary experience with sand ties near
Kingston, Ga., is somewhat amusing in
the originality of the idia if in nothing
else. We quote him at length as follows:
“Now, all down through Tennessee, Al
abama, and thus far in our march
through Georgia we had been told that
after we got a little further South we
would meet the enemy in anew form;
that there were whole tracts of country
where neither man nor animal could live
nor pass through on account of the
host of
“sand flies.”
Hearing so much about them, and that
they were always a ‘little further to the
South,’ and that we would meet them
‘down thn’h, sn’ah,’ we had come to re
gard them like the Western man’s mus
quitoes, who, when asked if the ‘skeeters’
are bad in his locality, always answers:
‘No, stranger; but you jist bet they be in
the next county. Why, sir, in that county
they eat the hogs up alive.’ So we
thought the sand flies were always in the
next county and would always remain a
little further ‘Souf, sail.’ Moreover after
our experience with the pediculus, the
woodtick, and jigger, in Tennessee, we
thought ourselves proof against the as
saults of any and all vermin of the South
ern rebel couutry combined, and did .not
believe the vaunted and widely advertised
sand fly was much of a ‘bug’ after all.
We knew what sand was. and had seen*
flies before, and laughed at the idea of a
fly beilig even a transient annoyance.
The movement to the railroad was to
be a surprise, hence we left Woodland
about 11 p. Tn. and inarched by unfre
quented ways, across the fields, winding
along water courses and deep hollows,
and quietly passing in solemn silence
through the gloom and over the sward
of the shadowy forest. No talking or
even speaking in lowest tones, or clank
ing of bits or saber scabbards, being per
mitted.
Anti so, like silent specters of the night,
we were passing through a strip of rather
open woods, each man intent only on
keeping his horse in place and close
against the rear of his file-leader, when
suddenly, without a premonitory buzz or
sign of any kind, a horse in one of the
centre files gave a loud snort, sounding
more like the dying cry of a mortally
stricken human being than any sound we
had ever before heard a horse make, and
dashed off to the right at the top of his
speed, rearing, plunging and kicking the
while, soon leaving ids luckless rider
sprawling on the ground. Another and
another followed, rushing madly right,
left, front and rear, with snorts and
kicks, and almost human like groans of
pain, in every direction*, unhorsing riders,
trampling -the fallen, dashing headlong
through the woods, rubbing against
trees, rolling over and over on theground,
and in an instant converting the quiet,
orderly column into a pandemonium-like
mass of struggling, groaning, kicking,
plunging, rolling horses and swt*ring. yell
ing men, in which confusion worn* con
founded reigned supreme. We had struck
the sand flies, and the
SAN D FLIES HAD STIN K 1*8!
Well, the e\*|>editioii entil'd there. The
railroad was not cut that night. In fact,
in less than three minutes from the time
the finst fly struck the column, about
twelve hundred’cavalry were scattered
over a radius of two miles of rebel terri
tory, (gracious! how those horses did
run. They “beat the record. — Editor.)
and. deeming one surprise enough in out*
night, and we Wing the party surprised,
and we having made noise enough to
arouse the whole rebel army, if in hearing
distance, the colonel concluded to sound
the “rally and get into camp as soon as
possible. It was a bail repulse, and
though tin* damage consisted mainly in
the swollen nostrils of the poor horses,
yet many of the men were brui .ed, kiektsl,
tramjied on. anti otherwise disabled.
This was our first and only ex|**rience
with this adjunct of rebeldom, anti we
had no desire to renew, much less to pro
long the acquaintance. The combined
power of a swarm of angry bees, of a
fully developed colony of unuested hor
nets, and of a completely fledged nest of
after-harvest oats-stubble yellow-jackets,
with their business qualities intensified
one hundredfold, would not lie a circuni
stauce to the terrific onslaught of the
average Georgia sand fly!”
Who ever read such stuff as this? We
presume that the Federal cavalry must
have run into a yellow-jacket’s nest.
There are plenty of them in upper Geor
gia, uml we havealwaysgiven them credit,
for being as brave ns their human proto
types, the “gray jackets;” but we never
before imagined that one nest of them
could’have utterly routed twelve hundred
valiant Yankee cavalrymen.

I ife in the Far West.
From tile San Francisco Chronicle,]
l think Montana must be altogether
a pleasant country. Democracy seems
to obtain in a form which would perhaps
please the anarchist, if the anarchist did
not want all things and all people to
work for his personal comfort. The
gambling-houses there are all proudly
labeled so that you can not mistake
them for churches or private residences.
“Licensed Gambling House” is therein
full, big print, and in those exciting
establishments white men and women,
negroes, Chinese and Indians gamble in
utter annihilation of race prejudices.
Money bet levels all ranks in race and
makes the white, yellow and red men
brothers, perhaps with the same differ
ence in personal ideas of value as the
chips. The most prominent hotel is
looked upon as palatial. The bedrooms
are (j feet by 4. One can understand
why they gamble there. But Montana
is not any worse than California used to
be. There were some places in this State
where women's rights had 'reached
a painful settlement by the adoption by
women of men’s privileges. A friend of
mine tells how once he was staging it
through a rough mining country, aud
in the stage were two ladies going from
one mining camp to another in pursuit
of change of air. The snow was deep on
the ground, and my friend hauled out his
pocket flask and handed it very politely
to the other men in the coach. They
took a sip, and when he had taken one
himself he prepared to put it back in his
pocket. The two ladies had watched the
proceeding closely, and when they saw
him prepare to put it away one of them
burst out:
“Say, Sal, get on to the son of a gun.
He ain’t even goin’ to offer us a drink.”
All “Played Out.”
“Don’t know what ails me lately.
Can’t eat well, —can't sleep well. Can’t
work, and don't enjoy doing anything.
Ain’t really sick, and I reallj ain’t well.
Feel all kind of played out, someway.”
That is what scores of men say every
day. If they would take Dr. Pierce’s
“G6lden Medical Discovery” they would
soon have no occasion to say it. It
purifies the blood, tones up the system
and fortifies it against disease. It is a
great anti-billious remedy as well.

The Immigration Problem.
St. Louis Glob-Democrat.]
It is not generally known that Id per
cent, of the population of the United
States in 1880 was foreign born. If we
include the netrro race, the element in
question amounted at that time to 18
per cent. The jumber of persons landing
on our shores from other countries has
steadily increased from less than 20,000
in 1820-30 to an average of almost half
a million per year for the last ten years;
and in the absence of definite and practi
cal restrictions, this average is likely to
be surpassed in the ten years to come. It
is not fair, of course, to class as foreign
ers all the children of such immigrants
who have been born in this country; but
it is worth saying that a calculation of
that sort would increase the showing to
34 per cent, of thetotal white population,
and that in some of the States —Massa-
chusetts, for example—over half of the
people are foreign blood.
. The fact that this immigration has
been of decided advantage in the devel
opment of our resources and the promo
tion of our national prosjierity and wel
fare is not to be denied for a moment. A
large majority of said people are patriotic,
industrious and valuable citizens. It may
be conceded that the infusion of foreign
blood thus brought about has been bene
ficial in other than strictly material re
spects, and that we are stronger and
better in every sense because of such an
addition to our population. But has not
the time come to apply certain rules of
discrimination for the future, and to shut
out at least that sort of immigration
which is undesirable omeither economical
or political grounds? It is well known
that the character of the immigration is
not now as good as it was some years
ago. We are receiving not only a great
many persons who are practically help
less, but also a considerable number who
are mischievous and dangerous, and
whose presence here ran only bring us
trouble and disaster. It is not right and
proper, under surh circumstances. to lie
gin to draw the line?
There is a general feeling, unquestion
ably, on the part of all good citizens, in
cluding t hose of foreign birth, that some
plan of protection is needed in the case.
Just what shape that plan should as
sume. however, is a question of manifest
and serious difficulty. We cannot afford.
|terhaps. to forbid foreign immigration
entirely. Then* is still room for some
more it we eouldlie sure of getting only
that which is profitable; but in the nature
of things we cannot have such a guaran
tee except by some process of selection
and exclusion. The problem of devising
such a process is one of the most impor
tant that our statesmen have to faee;
and it cannnot much longer be post) toned
in justice to ourselves and in safety to
our institutions. We can certainly make
no mistake in denying anarchists an
asylum under our Hag. With equal
propriety, we can refuse to receive and
support the pau|K>rs and cripples and in
valids of othe*; nations; ami our right to
impose certain conditions as to educa
tion and the ability to earn a living is
Iteyond reasonable dispute. Probably
these restrictions would be sufficient.
Coal Oil or Petroleum may lie very
nice for illuminating or lubricating pur
poses, but surely it is not the proper
thing to cure a cough with. Dr. Hull's
Cough Syrup is looked upon as the stan
dard Cough remedy.

“I want to thank you for telling me of

FABULOUS WEALTH.
Astounding Developments in tli Arizona
Ooil Strike.
‘Globe-Democrat Special ]
Pmo scott, Arizona, Nov. 27.—The ex
citement, instead of diminishing, in
creased in regard to the great strike of
Messrs. Hai kin and Harrington in their
Howard gold mine, on Hassayampa
river, ten miles south of Prescott. The
ledge runs north and south, and can be
traced two miles. The strike was made on
the side hill about 200 feet above the
level of the creek. At this point a very
small portion of the ledge can be seen,
but about ten feet below the surface, the
depth of the shaft, is rich ore which is
literally filled with gold. The rock when
broken hangs together by the gold it con
tains. Pieces of gold as large as S2O
pieces can be seen over the quartz. Within
the last two days the visitors to the mine
have been numerous. Yesterday L. A.
Wilson, traffic inanqgsr, and Ed Low,
superintendent of the Prescott Arizona
Central, went out to the mine, and report
that the facts have not been exaggerated,
and that half has not been told. The
owners of the mine have taken out several
thousand dollars the past week, and it is
nothing unusual for them to pan out
SIOO in pure gold in two hours in a com
mon 8-inch mortar. The product of the
mine in gold exceeds the wildest dreams
of Cortez and his followers.
Mr. Low telegraphs the following ac
count of his visit to the officials of the
Santa Fe railway: “W. F. White, traffic
manager, Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe railway, Topeka, Kan. —A gold ledge,
twenty inches wide, has been discovered
twenty miles from Prescott, on Has
sayampa river, which averages SIOO,OOO
per ton, and tons in sight. It is the
greatest discovery of the age. L. 11. Wil
son, myself and others saw yesterday
over SIOO worth in pure gold pounded
out in a common 8-inch mortar inside of
one hour. The ledge is the one which has
supplied the Hassayampa river from
which thousands have been taken out in
the last twenty years by placer diggers.
Any citizen will verify the above state
ment. Great excitement prevails.”
The committee of citizens who visited
the mine yesterday say that the reports
have not been exaggerated. The shaft is
now down 12 feet and a very rich pocket
of ore was encountered at the depth of 3
or 4 feet, from which $3,000 or 4,000
were taken. The last shot at the bottom
of the shaft blew out some remarkably
rich rock, while the general character of
the rock is very high grade, and it may
be t ruthfully said that the prospect is the
richest, so far as worked, that has ever
been discovered in this section. Prepara
tions are being made to sink deeper on
the vein, and the-minebids fair to develop
into one of the richest mines in the world.

the deathless devotion with which you
have inspired me, and can feel free to ask
you to heed the voice of your own heart

For three long years and some odd
months, Laura, 1 have carried this bur

you must have seen by my actions was

"George," said the fair girl, as a shadow
of anxious hesitancy flitted across her
eloquent face and a look of deep and
searching inquiry glowed in the eyes
which she bent upon the agituted young
man, “fthat is your salary?”
“Fifteen dollars a week, Laura, for the

The Asylum Vindicated.
Milledgeville Chronicle.]
Last week we published a synopsis of
the report of the asylum investigation
made by what was as the Kenan
committee. A moj-e complete vindication
was never given any man or set of men
than is accorded the officers and officials
of the State Lunatic asylum by these two
committees. Their reports forever sets
at rest the charges of corruption and
inis-management of that great trust.
We publish those reports just as they
were given in the Atlanta Constitution
of recent dates. We do not go deeper
in the matter, simply because we believe
that t his vindication is full and complete.
We have before us the testimony taken
before the joint committee which iK over
whelming to t he author of all this trouble
—l)r. Kenan. It is a rebuke that no
man cair ever survive. It will forever
cover his name with opprobrium. He
can never do the asylum an injury how
ever much he may desire if. So long as
he threatened that institution and sought
an unhallowed revenge against men
whom we, and the whole community,
knew* to be honorable and reliable in
every sense, we felt then, and still feel
that he deserved the condemnation of
every honest man in the county. He
richly deserved it, and the testimony
from the lips of the most trustworthy
men of this town and county will attest
the measure of that condemnation which
he has received.
Dr. Kenan is now without influence or
power, and here the fight should end,
and forever. It has been fought to the
last ditch, ami the reputations of t hose
in whose hands the State has reposed its
greatest trust shines brighter than ever,
and this severe trial has only proven
their truthfulness, honor, integrity and
trustworthiness. All the State, ami every
friend of humanity will feel gratified *to
find this great charity in such good
hands. All holier to such men.

“Godey for December,”
“I wonder what sort of a person the
editor is” frequently is said by the inter
ested readers of many a publication.
Editors are so often impersonal or inac
cessible creatures, that it is hardly un
reasonable if people wonder as to their
very existence. The December number
of Godey’s Lady's Book furnishes a nota
ble instance of departure from old cus
toms in the matter of the relation of
editor to readers. It introduces to a
wide circle of families, extending all over
the United States and part of Canada,
the editor of the Lady’s Book, the sketch
being quite photographic in its accuracy,
but endued with a sparkle which makes
it exceedingly life-like. Those who have
wondered just what the gifted “Jenny
June” is like will greatly enj*y what Mr.
Wilson has written. For Christmas
literature this number is indeed rich.
There are several spicy Christmas stories,
a valuable article on Christmas greens,
some practical directions for Christmas
dinners, and sundry wise suggestions <us
to Christmas presents. The poetical
contributions are unusually worthy of
mention, particularly the “Happy Mes
sage with it# choice illustrations. No
lady who wants to dress well can afford
to lie without the fashion intelligence
given and illustrated so fully in this
number. London and Paris correspond
ence will lie prized by all readers, and so
will the Home Hints, Chat about
W omen’s Affairs and fifty other things
of which limited space forbids present
mention. Such a magazine as Godey’s
Lady’s Book is exceedingly cheap at two
dollars. Write to the Croly Publishing
Company, Philadelphia, and learn all
about it, and the premiums too.

Smoking Cigarettes Killed Him.
Philadelphia Special to New York Herald.]
Dudes, beware! “Narcotic poisoning
from smoking cigarettes,” was the ver
dict of the Coroner’s jury to-day upon
the death of Matthew Bird, aged eleven
years, of No. 1741 Norwood street.
The boy died on Friday night, after
having complained of headache tor a
long while. He lived with his aunt, Mrs.
Lizzie Bird, and she said in her evidence
that he began to smoke cigarettes some
months ago. She tried to stop him, and
never permitted him to smoke them in
her presence, but she was aware that he
constantly smoked them surreptitiously.
On Friday Matthew came home from
school ahd complained of a violent head
ache. He said ho had fallen, but was not
hurt much. He gradually became worse,
and she called in a physician, who found
the child in a stupor, from which he wag
unable to arouse him up to the motne
of his death.
