He always played "Brooks' March"
for the militia to locomote by.
They never marched or kept 6tep

somehow by walking and trStting

Old Father Brooks played his

He said his fife was his life and
his fiddle was his riddle. On his
last bed he sent for my father to
come and see him.' Old and wrin
kled and cadaverous, he motioned
to be propped up in his bed. and
then, with an inverted chair be
hind his pillow, he pointed to his
fiddle that lay upon the shelf near
by, and it was handed to him.
Hugging it to his old bosom he
smiled amid his tears and whisper
ed: UI wish that I could play you

old man died, with his lelt hand
closed hard and rigid around the
neck of his violin.

The governor w
in-chief, but
personally p;
reviewed by prox
had an aide d ?-c
of colonel. He held his rank and
title as long as (he governoi held
his office, and he was expected to
holler for him and boom him, and,
if necessary, he must fight for him
on a suitable occasion. If the
governor failed of re-election,
these colonels had to retire too.
and a new 6et were appointed, but
the old set never lost their title.
and so the state in course of time
got pretty full of colonels.
On muster day the colonel wore a
cockade hat and red plume and
epaulets and a long brass sword
and big brass spurs, and horse pis
tols in the holsters of his saddle.
and he and his personal staff rode
up and down the lines reviewing
the militia, who were drawn up in
a double crooked straight line in a
great big field that was fall of gul
lies and broom sage. Some won?
coats and some didn't; some wore
shoes and some didn't; but none
wore beards, for in those days none
wore beards but gamblers. Some
were armed with shotguns and
some with rifles or muskets, but
most of them carried sticks and
cornstalks and umbrellas, and they
siood up or. squatted down at
pleasure, sud about half the time
were hollering for water.
The colonel and his staff rode
up and down the lines on fine
horses that danced and pranced
like there were tacks under the
saddles. The roll of each com
pany was called ami every man
answered to his name whether he
was there or not. Then the col
onel took a central position and
faced the long audience and wav
ed his glittering sword and ox
claimed: "Attention, battallion!
Shoulder arms, right face, march!'
Then tho kettle drum rattled and
the fife squeaked and some guns
w-nt off half cocked, and militia
gave three cheers for the colonel

muster. Old man Brooks was the

being somewhat late. The opera

which I gave him -O. K.' I then
gave the south-bound train an or

train's time to make the meeting

FTom the date of the disappear
ance of the ill-fated President
down to the sinking of the Geiser
the other day, the annals of Atlan
tic travel are marked thiekly wii-hi
episodes of disaster, suffering anii
death. Some of the finest and!
staunchest steamships that have
ever been built, figure on the loni;
sad roll of the lost. Some of therm
have been run down and sunk iu
a collision, like the Arctic, the
Ville du Havre and the Geiser;
others have been destroyed by fire
like the Amazon, the Sheridan,
and the Austria; many have rush
ed headlong on the rocks in a log;
or a dark night, like the Schult r,
the Mosel and the Atlantic; a few
have flounderod at sea in a gale or
a cyclone, like the City of Yeia
Cruz; others have been wrecked
on sunken ice, like the Canadian,
while several, like the President.
Pacific and the magnificent City
of Boston, have mysteriously dis
appeared leaving not a trace be
hind to indicate the cause of their
loss.
It is certainly a startling fact
that in the space of forty-s vein
years 6ince the unfortunate PrcrU
dent lelt New York, March 11,
1841, never again to appear to
mortal ken, nearly a hundred fine
steamers have been utterly de
stroyed while on their passage
across the Atlantic.
Of these eight after leaving port
mysteriously disappeared and have
never since been heard of, ten
were run down in collisions, tiro
were burned, one ran on sunken
ice in the Straights of Belly Isle,
another went down in a tieM of
ice, three nou ttdered in mi,d ocean,
and the remainder of the melan
choly list were wrecked either on
the Irish and British coasts, those
of America or on rocks off them.
Fully ten of these ran in foggy
weather on the shores of Nova
Scotia or New Foundland on their
way westward a sufficient warn
ing, it might be supposed, to cap
tains to give a wide berth to these
latitudes. Only one, the Iowa, an
American steamer, was wrecked
on the French coast, near Cfaer
boug. in 1864. It is generally sup
posed that shipwrecks are caused
by the rage of the elements, but,
of all the vessels that went ashore,
only three or four appear to have
directly suffered in consequence of
heavy weather. Miscalculation
as to distances run and course
steered, clouded skies, dark nigh 1st
and, more than all, dense fogs,
were the primary causes of the.
disasters. Comparatively few ot
these shipwrecks occurred without
serious loss of life, at least 560O
persons having perished among;
the passengers and crew who were
on board. When the Atlantic was
wrecked on Meagher's Head, olf
the fatal Novia Scotian coast, in
1873, no less than 562 persons
were drowned. With the City of
Glasgow 480 people disappeared;
with the President, 120; with the;
Pacific, 186, and with Hie City of
Boston, the last of the missing:
steamships, 191. When the Aus
tria was b .rned in mid ocean 470
lives were lost; with the Arctic
323; with the Angle-Saxon, 372;
with the Ville du Havre, 226; with,
with the Borussia, 200; with the
Schiller, 311. The destruction of
other vessels caused the loss of
fewer lives than the vessels nam
ed, as happiiy fewer passengers
were on board; but with severai
on the list from 100 to 200 being
perished. In 1873 no less than
six large steamships were wreck
ed, run down, or disappeared, the,
most disastrous losses being those
of the Atlantio and the Ville di
Havre, a total loss of 788 lives.-r
