A long Htandinj? and gcnorallr ac
knowledged claim by Capt. W.W. Umth,
f Lockort, tbat he was tho first person
to volunteer in the Union army in 1861
has been Bucccwiully deputed by Col.
T. J. Kennedy, of Auburn. Capt.
' Bosh's claim u made on the fact that
ha had been anticipating the call for
. troops by President Lincoln aftor the
firing on Fort Sumter and had not toft
the telegraph office in Lockport in ex-
All. ' At noon on April io mo nuws
that the President had issued the call
for troops was received. Bush ran at
nee to his place of buainajA,
drew up an enlistment roll
and signed it Ho then proceeded
. to enlist others. Ho raised a company,
was made captain, and went to the front
with the first troops. This fact has b n
a source of much pride to Capt. Bush,
and has made him widely known.
Col. Kennedy, of Auburn, sets up tlu)
Jaira that as early as November, 18U(J,
seeing that an armed strngglo between
the north and the south was inevitable-,
he urged tho immediate enlist men t of
men to bo drilled in anticipation of
sail for troops. In January, 1801, he
ppliod to Governor Morgan for author
Ky to enlist a company, and his anplica.
, Hon was placed on 111 o Jan. 17. Ho did
mot wait to rccoivo tho authority, but
proceeded to enlist men. When Fort
lumler was tired on, April 13, 1801, ho
had 175 men under drill. He otTerod
the services of -himself and montothe
aUto tho same day, and tho samo day
kis enlistment roll, his namo being tho
first one upon it, was received and en
tered in the adjutant general's office.
There were too many men for one com
pany, so a full oompuny was selected
from them and became Company C of
tho Nineteenth regiment, Si. x. o. v.,
f which regiment Kennedy was mado
olonol. The remainder of tho men ho
abated were distributed among other
companies. Tho claim mado by Col.
Kennedy is supported by records of tho
state. That Capt. But-h was tho first
volunteer under tho call of President
Linooln for troops, howovor, thoro is
arobably no doubt.
Hiving Artificial Colon to Flower.
Milwaukee Wisconsin.
"In order to meet the demand for now
varieties of tho roso, artillciul hues may
bo given to them by means of a ooloring
natter placed at tho root," said a Mil
waukee florist, "but it is by no moans a
recognized pnictico of tho trado. Thoro

dip tho stem of a freshly-cut flower into
a liquid dye. If you put a freshly-cut
roso into bluo ink, for insUmce, the ink
will ascend through the stem into tho

to tho jK-tals. liut tho elfect thus so

The fact is, nature can't bo im

though; und in that direction lies
Uia mmlicution of the tlorist's art. We
uii got, a rich deep color and a vigorous
growth in roses by judiciously applying
strong manure to tho plants. Wo use

liquid form. We havo tried all kinds of
luuures, and wo Und these simple ones

"Tim matter of their application liko

the different varieties and find out tho
conditions under which each thrives best.
After having discovered these it is our
business to observe them. Wo havo had
flrst-rate success with our Jacqueminot
roses this season, while many others havo
not done so woll. , I attribute our sua
ess to tho fact that we started ours at
exactly tho right time. I think it
possiblo that roses could be shaded to
some extent by the application of colors
to tho roots, but great care would havo

interfere with tho thrift of the plant and
omo might kill it. Hut 1 don't think
the thing would bo worth wl ile, even if
it were successful. Nature is tho best
artist after all."

On tho whole, and always expecting

to think Niagara tho sight best worth
teeing In America, though I will never

describe tho indescribable and would
mniidv iiiitn fur tlin Ixtnellt nf fntura
travelers that tho effect of Niagara is as
' follows: On the first day it is distinctly
dinppointing; the roar of tho waters is
not so loud, tho fall so high or tho cur
rent so fierce as was imagiiiod. On the
second day this natural though irra
tional disappointment has bceu gradu
ally and unconsciously swallowed up by
the waterfall, which has become omni
present, tremeudous and soul absorbing.
On tho third day Niagara has grown a
monster so oppressive to soul and sense
tbat the visitor hurries from tho placo
with tho fcelinsr that anothor dav's com

A FEW RICH MEN.
Rome New Yorker Who Have Made
a million or So.
New York Star.
"Can yon tell me about some of the
rich men with whom you have been ac
quainted?" "Well, my personal acquaintance has
extended to a few millionaires. There
was Mr. William E. Dodge. He was
very wealthy, and he made use of a
great deal of his money in promoting
religious and reformatory measures. In
many respects he was a remarkably
good man. I knew Mr. A. Stewart. I
saw him a few months before his death
and had a talk with him at his house.
He informed me that one of the m?ans
by which he had commanded success
was the system of giving people who
purchased goods from him the full
worth of their money. Mr. Theodore
B. Stout was one of the ableBt bankers
and brokers I ever knew. I suppose I
must includo Mr. Demas Barnes in my
list of very rich men ; but Demas lost a
portion of his money in the newspaper
business. Isuppoio Mr. W. K. Conner
is worth a million dollars. Hon. John
Morrissey, the Harpers, Moses Taylor,
Hollis L. Powers. Jim Fhdc, M. O.
Roberts, J. P. Hall and Jim Bennett
can also be appended to the list. I p re
sumo there are a score of millionaires
who do not lot tho world know that
they have so much money. Many rich
men are misers and take a delight in
giving the impression that thoy are
comparatively poor.
Andrew Stout, presidont of the New
York Shoo and Loather bank, started
business as a school teacher. He went
into trade, and after several reverses
made a fortune. Bussell Sage began
his business life as a clerk in a mercan
tile house in Troy. He showed marked
capacity and superior judgment, and at
20 went into business on liis own ao
count. Now he is one of the chief men
of Wall street. He lives in elegant
style, and has his home on tilth
avenue. He keeps elegant carriages
and fine horses. Bev. Matthew Hale
Smith said of him : "Mr. Sage uses his
(rreat wealth with wisdom, and grate
fully as a Christian should do. From
boyhood np his careor has been a re
markable one. His industry is a habit.
He walkod surely up throrgh all the
grades of storoboy, clerk, salesman, ro
tailer and wholesale dealer. Ho relied
on no chances, but trustod lovel-hoadod-nofcs,
fidelity, and strong common
sense.
Beferring to the late Commodore
Vanderbilt the same writer said : "He
dressed like a college professor or a
well-endowed clergyman. His neck
tie was snowy, like his hair. Ho lived
in a down-town mansion, roomy and
full of comfort, aftor the order of the
old Knickerbockers. His otlice was a
plain, unpretentious room, and his
style of lifo very simple." Although
the above was wr.tton or the commo
dore, the name remarks could not apply
to somo of the surviving members of
his family.

Dnring a performance of "A Bunch

of the hi ;! clerk, an old fellow in the

Variety In Living.
Cor. Chicago Tribune.
In no city on tho globe are there so
many ways of living as In tho city of
New Y'ork. Ono may live hero as one
pleases, in the most sumptuous or the most
simple manner, or, if so minded, one may
not live at all. A man may spend a million
or keen breath In his body on $100 a year.
Few of our citizens have any just concep
tion what luxuries aro necessary to some
of their fellows, and what common ne
cessities aro luxuries to others. The
latest effeminacy and the last senat
or are often not more than a singlo liloek
apart. In adjoining houses that look ex
actly alike arc every comfort and even'
privation ; superabundance smiling through
tho walls ut starvation, tho chaplet of
roses against the ciownof thorns. No
New Yorker knows or cares for his neigh
bor, unless by accident; ho is always ig
norant where anybody residcs.and is as dis
tant in mind nnd maimer from his fellow
citizens as If they were, his antipodes.
Here you may livo where, how, and with
whum you liko, and no one Le tho wiser.
Not even curiosity is felt about you; and
it is measurably from this general indiffer
ence that people live so differently, aud
often so queerly.

tunity pass for stirring u? angry pas
sions. On one occasion, when Senator
John P. Halo, of Now Hampshire, had
dared to advocate emancipation iu the
District of Columbia and elsewhere, Mr.
Foote said: "If the senator from New
Hampshire will visit tho good state of
Mississippi, where I havo the honor to
reside, he will be received with hosannas
and shouts of joy. I invito him there,
and toll him in all honesty that he could
not go ten miles into the interior before
he would grace ono of the tallest trees
of the forest, with a ropo around his
neck, and, if necessary, I would assist
in tho operation." This won for him the
sobriquet of "Hangman Foote."
