GANTA ANNA’S COACH.
A Sicxk-an V; ar Veteran Teli t How Ho
Assisted in Its Capture.
There are in Washington many inter
esting characters, some cf xvhom,
though they may not have held high
positions, still have lived and done
service with persons xvhose names are
historic. When once in a talkative
mood such persons as this can give very
entertaining accounts cf incidents that
are now almost forgotten. Just such a.
character as this is Serct. John Wal
ters, noxv one of the xvatelimen at the
state, war and navy department build
ing under ( 'apt. Tyson, of Arctic fame.
Sorgt. Walters is rved under Capt. (af
terward Gen.) Sedgwick in the Mexi
can war, and xvas for many years the
orderly at the headquarters of the ■
army under Gon. Winfield Scott and
was with him in Mexico. Sergt. Wal
ters was born May 5, 1821. or, as he
gates, upon "the very day that great;
soldi, r. Napoleon Bonaparte, left this
world I eame into it." Sergt. Walters
entered the army by enlisting in the
Second regiment of artillery, thonepm
mapded by Col. Bankhead. Jan. 21.
1845. and with that regiment xvent to ;
Mexico.
Before the siege of \ era Cruz he xvas'
detailed tts mi orderly at th ■ headquttr
ters of Gen. Seort. When the siege
commenced ho rejoined his conqKuty
and xvas in <h;:ge of three mortars
planted about a mil • from f.m city. The
landing xvas made in March, from t.i ■
.)th to the 11th, and the Utile band of
12.500 men opened trenches, threw up
breastworks and planted the mortars,
l.’pon the city’s refusal t n surrender fire
was opened, and on the tilth the garri
son surrendered and the American
troops entered the xva’rls. According
to Sorgt. Walters. Gen. Scott seemed
disappointed that the force promised
him, 25,000 men. hail not been sent,
but nevertheless on April 11 lie started
out for the City of Mexico.
At the battle of Cerro Gordo, Ap.rd
17. 1' rgt. Walter., says that hi >• >m

Santa Anna stud a number of boxes of
gold and silver coin. This capture,
says Sergt. Walters, xvas the founda
tion of the Soldiers' home. Tills money
was very considerable, but he does not
know just, how much there xvas.
There was some controversy at the i
time as to xvhether the capture should I
be paid into the treasury, but Gen.
Seott claimed that it belonged to the )
army. Consequently he turned it over I
to the quartermaster's department to :
be spent in providing .a home in xvhieh j
old and xvounded soldiers could spend '
the latter part of their days. Tt> this '
sum was added the amount levied on i
the inhabitants of the City of Mexico |
on its surrender.
Mr. Walters says that when Gen.
Scott returned to this city he sent for
Gen. W'ool and the two went out to
the present location of the home and
xvere shoxvn over the pinco by Mr.
Riggs. It xvas not, however, until they
had sampled the iron water in the
spring that they concluded that the
location xvas the proper one, although
they had wire,-id/ admired the views
from the various auctions of the
grounds. “As far as I know,” said the
old sergeant, “1 am the only man alive
who participated in the capture of that
coach. There igay be others who were

THE EVENING POJSI: MONDAY- JULY H, 1890.
LOST INSTINCTS.
Soauds, Sights and Colors Kuo tv n to Ani
mals and Not to Man.
If the doctrine be true that man is
really the heir of all the various species
and genera of the animal kingdom it
seems a little hard upon us that, even
byway of exception, -we inherit none
of the more marvelous instincts of
those species and genera, and hav<J to
be content with those greater but pure-
I ly human faculties by xvhieh the most
| wonderful of animal instincts have
I been extinguished. Sir John Lubbock
maintains there are insects, and very
likely even higher animals, which per
ceive colors of xvhieh we have no
glimpses and hear sounds which to us
are inaudible. Yet xve never hear of a
human retina that includes in its vision :
those colors depending on vibrations of >
the ether xvhieh are too slow or too i
rapid for our ordinary eyes, nor of a
human ear which is entranced with
music that to the great majority of our :
species is absolutely inaudible.
Again, xve never hear of a human-be
ing who could perform the feat of which
wo were told only recently of a blood
hound. In a dark night it followed up
for three miles the trail of a thief with
whom the bloodhound could never
have been in contact (he had just pm 1 -
loined some rolls of tan from the tan
yard in which the dog was chained up), I
and finally sat doxvn under the tree in
xvhieh the man had taken refuge.
Why, xve wonder, are those finer poxvers
for discriminating and folloxving the
track of the scent, xvhieh so many of
the lower animals possess, entirely ex
tinguished in man, if man be the real
heir of all the various genera xvhieh
show powers inferior to his own?
We see no trace in animals of that
high enjoyment of the finer scents
xvhieh make the blossoming of the
spring Howers so great a delight to
human beings, and yet men are entirely
destitute of that almost unerring power I
of tracking the path of an odor xvhieh
seems to be one of the principal gifts of
many quadrupeds and some birds. It
is the same with the poxver of a dog or
cat to find its way back to a home to
xvhieh it is attached, but from which it j
has been taken by a route that it can
not possibly follow on its return, even |
if it had the poxver of observing that J
route, which usually it has not. Nothing
' could be more convenient than such a
power to a lost ch’l l. But none ever
heard of a child xvh > possessed it.
Still more enviable is that instinct
possessed by so many birds of crossing
great tracts of land and sea xvithout ap
parently any landmarks or seamarks to
guide them, and of reaching a quarter
of the globe xvhieh many of them have
never visited before, xvhile those who
have visited it before have not visited
it often enough to learn the xvay.
The migratory birds must possess
either senses or instincts entirely be
yond the range of human imagination,
and yet no one ever heard of the sur
vival of such a sense or instinct in any
member of our race. It may be said,
indeed, that men have either inherited
or some xvay reproduced the slave mak
ing instinct of some of the military
ants; but this only enhances the irony
of our destiny if xve do indeed in any
sense inherit from these insect aristoc
racies one of the most disastrous in
stincts of the audacious but indolent
creatures xvhieh fight so much better
than they work. What is still more
curious is that even where human be
ings have wholly exceptional and un
heard cf poxvers they betray no traces
of the exceptional and unheard of pow
ers of the races xvhose vital organiza
tion xve are said to inherit.
The occasional appearance of very
rare iniithematical poxvers, for instance,
so far from being in any sense expli
i cable from below, looks much more
I like inspiration from above. The cal
| eulating boy who could not even give
i any account of the process whereby he j
! arrived at correct results which the ed -
treated mathematician took sometime'
to verify, certamly xvas not reviving in :
himself any of the rare powers of the [
lower tribes of animals. Nor do the ;
prodigies in music xvN> show such mar
vclons power in i;i: :iey recall to us
any instinct of the bird, the only mu
sical creature except ourselves. Still
less, of course, does great moral genius,
the genius of a Iloxvard or a Clarkson,
i suggest any reminiscence of lower an-
I i.ual life.—American Analyst.
A Mean Kind of Thieving.
A lad named Miner Bender was ar
rested for stealing lithographs. This
arrest was the revelation of a scheme
; that has been in practice for a long
time, and has become extensive in its
| proportions. It seems there is a firm
here which, on the plan of old Fagin,
i the Jew, In “OliverTwist,’’employslads
I t<> steal the lithographs from the shop
■ windows where they liave been placed
las advertisements. It is only the pict
; tires of the most prominent actors and
actresses and those having well known
plays that are coveted. When these
small purloiners have secured a goodly
supply and have undone, perhaps, the
entire xveek's work of a theatre bill
board man, they take them to this firm
and receive a small compensation for
the xvork they have performed, but
nothing for the crime. This firm has a
use for these pictures. They sell them
ftt a profit to the managers of bam
storming companies, to bo used in small
country towns. Thus are the people
of these toxvns gulled being made to
believe that they are seeing the popular
plays pf the times enacted by famous
actors. Thus it is that good plays and
famous actors become underrated in
Hind communities. —Chicago Herald.
Woman’o Wit to the Homuh,
A last and pleasanter instance of
the itady wit of u woman, more instant
and efficient than nil the wisdom of
two philosophers, is the one told with
grout enjoyment by—was it Edward or
Charles Emt'rson ? concerning the dif
ficulties intiijphi<'h Ralph Waldo Em
erw)l| ami himself found thcmwlves led
by u frisky calf, and (he solution of
th.—• difficulties by the ready wit of

So did the calf. The impelling force
xvas then applied from behind. The
calf lay down. The two wise men then
drew to one side for a few moments
and applied their deepest philosophy to
the solution of th ■ problem.
The result was that they settled upon
the “shooing” process that is the favor
ite amusement between women and
hens. This went on for some time,
both men scampering hatless and
breathless about the farm yard, the
elate ealf bounding and running in the
wildest manner, and leading in every
direction but toward the barn door.
Then the Irish maid to the rescue!
With a sniff of unconcealed contempt
she stalked before the outxritted sages
up to tlie calf, thrust two of her lingers
into its mouth and led it, eager and
doeile, into the barn.—New York Even

Tho Vampire Hat.
A great many Mulhatton yarns have
been told by travelers about the “ter
rible bloodsucking vampires.” The
reader of South American travel is al
ways treated to a dish of this kind of
stuff, which, if half xvere facts, would
make a fellow's hair stand on ond to
think of being compelled to sleep in
open air in any part of northern South
I America. The facts seem to bo that
there is a species of bat, phyllostoma
spectrum, inhabiting the Central Amer
ican republics and South America as
far south as the yakada. which if
pressed for food xvill fasten itself on
animals and the exposed parts of the
human body for the purpose of rucking
blood.
That sleeping persons are not axvak
ened by the bat, and that tho incision.l
- xvhieh the blood is drawn
readily heal, should be taken as proof
positive that the vampire bat stories,
like the human vampire stories of Hun
| gary, are but fabrications of diseased
imaginations. The little vampire is an
insect cater, perfectly harmless, and not
at all feared by the natives of the re
gion xvhieh it infests.
A recent traveler (Clarke. 1S8S) says
I “I have slept out in the open air in the
i Xiftgu country in all kinds of weather;
■ have seen hundreds, yes. thousands, of
’ vampire bats, but have always found
1 them perfectly harmless, as much so as
the native black bat of Pennsylvania
and A’ork state.”—St. Louis Republic.
Birds That Dance.
In his “Pioneering in South Brazil”
Mr. Brigg Wither relates that one morn
ing in the dense forest his attention
was roused by the unwonted sound of
a bird singing, songsters being rare in
that district. His men, immediately
they caught the sound, invited him to
follow them, hinting that he xvould
probably witness a very curious sight.
Cautiously making their xvay through
the dense undergroxyth they finally
came in sight of a small stony spot of
ground at the end of a tiny glade, and
on this spot, some on the stone and
some on the shrubs, xvere assembled a
number of little birds, about the size of
tomtits, xvith lovely blue plumage and
red topknots.
One xvas perched quite still on a twig,
singing merrily, xvhile tho others xvere
keeping time xvith wings and feet in a
kind of dance, and all twittering an ac
companiment. Ho watched them for
some time, and was satisfied they were
having a ball and concert, and thor
oughly enjoying themselves. They then
became alarmed, and the performance
abruptly terminated, the birds all going
off in difl'crentd ircctions. The natives
told him that these little creatures were
knoxvn as tlie “dancing birds.”

Gen. Sherinan’g Mule.
In a conversation xvith Judge Joseph
Cox. xvho is a very pleasant talker and
full of anecdotes and information, he
said: “1 xvas talking to Gen. W. T.
; Sherman, several years ago, about rid
| ing horses and mules, and he said: I
i ‘Cox. a mule is the easiest animal to ride i
! in the world. 1 always preferred to ride |
one during the war. In a picture rep- ,
resenting the burning of Atlanta the |
artist has me seated on a fiery steed,
xvith fury in his eye, etc., while the
houses are burning and the sol
diers are tearing up the railroad iron.
Well, I xvas there; but I was not on a
prancing horse, but I xvas straddled on
a plain, common, • everyday mule.’”
But of course it xvould ruin a historical I
picture to put a great general on a mule
instead of a fiery charger.—Cincinnati

A new alloy is coming into use in

I CORK TREES IN CALIFORNIA.
It lx Bcllrreil That They Can lie Grown
There 111 I.urge Xnnibcrs.
The available f :t.i of cork trees
are already relatively extensive, al
though hardly sufficient to supply the
demands now made on them,'or which
as the world grows in prosperity must
lie made on them, for there is hardly
any end to the uses for cork, and none
of the substitutes for it which have yet
i been tried are very satisfactory or
| promise to take its place to any great
i extent. The latest estimates of exist
ing areas of available eork oak forests
make their extent from 3.300,000 to
3,500,000 acres, of which about one
half. including those on its African
possessions, belongs to France. The
wood of the cork oak is heavy, coarse
grained and of a yellow brown color;
it shrinks and warps badly in seasoning .
and decays rapidly when exposed to the
action of the atmosphere. It has little
value in the arts, but furnishes a useful '
fuel and makes good charcoal. The I
inner bark is rich in tannin, and trees j
too old or untit to produce cork are cut i
for the sake of the inner bark.
The cork oak is an interesting tree '
to Americans, as its cultivation now
seems destined to become an important :
industry in California, where the cli
mate and the soil in many parts of the
state are admirably suited to produce
it. This is not a mere theory, as trees!
have been growing now for several ■'
years in California, and have already i
produced crops of eork of excellent i
quality. It i probable that the tree
will grow rather more rapidly in Cali- '
foruia than it does in it. native coun-1
try. although the quality of the soil. .
tl.e exposure in which the trees are
placed, local climate and the treatment
which the trees iw.-ive will influence, j
of eouree. theT. pidity with which the
bark is developed.
In Africa it is found that the trees
which grow the most rapidly produce
bark of the poorest quality, and that
within certain limits the slower the
trees grow the m«re valuable the prod
net, provided the growth is not too
slow, in which case the bark loses some
of the elasticity which makes it valu
able. The conditions which influence
the development of cork are so numer
ous and complicated that the product
of all the trees in a grove or forest can
nev r attain the same uniformity of j
’.hickness or quality' in any given tjjne.
This is so well understood in the coun- '
trios whi-ix- cork is grown that the best '
method of harvesting has been found '
to be to go over the forest every twooi ,
three years and remove the bark from I
such trees as are covered with mer i
ch.mtable cork a:id not to strip all the >
tree;< ;>t the same time.
Ail these matters must of course be l
consider. d in connection with planting
forests of eork <>;tk in California. The
planting ai: 1 care of such forests in i
Portugal an 1 Spain h ive long bo , an
important industry, and there is no
reason why they may not ba made so
in Califormn. where the e aisuinp
tion of cork is already enormous, al
though the wine industry there is hard
ly more than in its infancy.—Garden
and Forest.
Government tiler.
There are occasional gleams of hu
mor even in the most serious articles
which newspa[H‘rs ever publish. A re
eent one on “The Business Outlook"
contained the following paragraph-:
“Thanks to the administration's want
lof foresight the dry weather of the
j past season has become exceedingly
i menacing to the agricultural interest."
The journal does-not explain how the
' government could have prevented a
I drought in a portion of the country,
|or a wet season in another. Perhaps it
1 thinks that the government ought to
| have some influence with its own ba
| rometer. ,
This criticism brings to mind the not
1 unfamiliar criticism of a western farmer
I in a season of heavy rains.
“Rain, rain, rain!" said the farmer.

Paper Air Cushion*.
The Japanese employ paper instead
of india rubber for making uireushions.
Paper cushions roll up smaller than
India rubber ones, they do not stick to
gether after being wetted, and having
no odor they are more agreeable for
pillows than rubber ones. Their strength
is marvelous, considering the apparent
frailty of the material; a man weighing
; 160 pounds may stand on one without
bursting it.—Chatter.
