The Senate bas paseed a bill placing General John C. Fremont on the re­ tired list of the army with the rank of major general.

The President of the National Asso­ ciation ef Union Prisoaers of War has issued a circular announcing the six­ teenth annual convention <»f the asso­ ciation to take in Indianapolis Sep­ tember 18 and 19 next.

The blrthplaoe of General Grant, in the village of Point Pleasant, Ohio, Is etlll in good repair and used as dwelling. With no accident it will last a century yet.

Simon Mix Post, No. 65, Department of Minnesota, G. A, R., Pipestone, is very proud of its last recerd. At a meeting held recently .they mustered in Martin Ely. whe was eighty-four years of age May 7. He was a member of a Witconsln cavalry regiment, and was all through the late war. Alone on a Battlefield. It was an ugly give and take. . We could not see the enemy but the whizz and ting of bullets proved that they were not far away. As the excitement Increased one of mv men In his haste fired off bis ram­ rod and held up bis i^usket that J might see what he had done. Without thinking 1 stalled to the rear, where a short distance away lay a musket. No sooner had I left touching dis­ tance of my company than an irresist­ ible sense of loneliness and dread seized me. Every step made the sensation more accute. Soon I was practically panic stricken. Somehow, however, J got the ramrod of the use­ less musket and went back to the line on the run. With the return came the assurance and courage. I never felt more alone or helpless than In those few moments of isolation. The air seemed full of hissing, shrieking demons. I was sure that eaoh next moment would bring death,--Youth?i Companion, Feigned Death and Was Buried. Colonel Musser relates an interesting Incident of army experience which oc­ curred while he was in oommand of the post of Washington, Ark., in the summer of 1864. The story, as related Is told by a Federal officer, a prisoner In camp, to Capt. Jas. T. Otey, of the Eighth Missouri Intantry. The captain was playing the part of the hospitable host toward his guests and prisoner, through the medium of a eouple of tin cups and a Jug filled with home-made whisky, clear as crystal, and uncon- ant Boren was a Federal fofficer In at Ohio regiment, and had fallen into tic hands of Dick Tavlor about the time of Bank*'* Red River expedition. Be­ coming weary of eaptivity and dis­ gusted ^with Confederate rations, bo planned with several of his fellow-prls onars a scbemo by which at least one of their number might make his es­ cape. Whisky poker was played te determine which one should be given the first chance. Lieutenant Boren won. In accordance with the scheme agreed to, he feigned death, was buri ed by his oomrades in a shallow grave, and succeeded in making his resur­ rection after the departure of the Con­ federates and companions. The de­ serted grave was discovered during the day by some loiterers about the camping-place, and the ruse "dropped onto" and reported to the command­ ant at Marsh field, La., who Immediate ly set a pack of blood-hounds to track the fugitive. After the trail wae struck all of these but one were called off. This one continued the pursuit, and at the end ot the third day over­ took and treed tho Lieutenant in the dense woods near Washington, Ark. The hound guarded the tree for three days aad three nights, until the sol­ diers, who took their time in the pur­ suit, arrived and again took charge of the well-nigh starved fugitive. For fie Was an Englishman. An English general, in reviewing a corps of cavalry, suddenly stopped be­ fore a splendid looking fellow and asked abruptly: "Which is the best horse In the regi­ ment?" "Number forty, sir," "What makes you think he It the best horse ?" "He walks, trots, and gallops well, a good jumper; ba« no vloe, no blemish, carries his head well, is in his prime." 'And who Is the best soldier In the regiment?" -Tom Jones, •it.*' "Why?" "Because he is an honorable man, obedient, tidy, takes good care ot his equipment and hli horse, and does his duty well.,' And who Is the rider of the best horse?" "Tom Jones, sir" "And who is Tom Jonee!*^ *1 am alr.n *" The general could not help laughing but he gave a sovereign to his Inform ant who received it without ip&?lQ£,a muscle. RepaWteiflf papers and "toldlaf" writers make a great fuss about the large number of vetoes made by Presi deut Cleveland. We admit that they do in the aggregate look very large, but wLoi-e lajuit Is it? The President lias taken at/oath to support tbe con­ stitution and laws of the United States aud see thai they are properly and faithfully Executed, and If congress in tt« political zeal to catch votes or for other reasons passes bills granting pensionyin cases not justified by law, and the executive is satisfied of the fact^ it is his bouuden duty to put down his big veto foot upon them. We have reAi several of the President's mes sages accompanying bis vetoes of cer­ tain special pension bills, and we have yet to see one that we thought did not give good sound reasons for this actio.n And as long as congress continues to pass such laws, just so long will It be the duty of the President to place his disapproval upon them. If he did otherwise he would be liable to im­ peachment. Now our advice to voters Is this; Before you condemn President Cleveland for vetoing any bill or class jf bills just call for the Congressional Record and read his reasons for so do­ ing. But don't condemn him upon the windy charge of some rattle-brained partisan without a hearing. Probably if you were In his place you would do Just as ho is doing.--McHenry County Democrat. The above from * M . * Young Bayonet Points" is indeed worthy of republish­ ing inasmuch at it will Bhow our com­ rades and other readers of the Sentinel the young fellows ideas of what is right and just as far as what the Presl' dent may do to save a few dollars by withholding rellnf from a few ex- soldiers or their widows who find it impossiple to secure the evidence that is demanded by the Pension Bureau, Evidence that It weuld appear In many cases would be impossible for any one to get at this late day, and which is not reasonable to require. The Detroit Evening Newst one of the leading independent papers of the country, and which has as large a cir­ culation as ^ny paper in Michigan, aot long ago said: "Tbe spigot and bung- hole pollfiy of tbe present Adminis­ tration is nowhere better shown than in the vetoed pension bills. The total amount saved,by the more than one hundred pension bills which met the disapproval of the ohlef clerk of tbe White House is only $14,000, or a little more than enough to pay the Presi­ dent's salary for three months. The aditional expenses ihvolved In tbe prolonged session of Congress and the extra printing caused by the vetoes would probably eat up that sum or more. This is tbe spigot side of the story. When it came to the bunghole tbe President was prompt to pull out tbe river and harbor ping and let the money run in a stream sufficient to have granted munificent pensions to all the soldiers and sailors, widows who petitioned for relief, and have enough left to take off a liberal slice of the National debt. But this sort of feing ls to be fr>m | gjfWl whose mental vision Is ot so small ft / - caliber that only minute objects CM- V come within his range."
