Tho colonel was very long and gaunt Ditto his mustache, w hich was as black as bis wig, and It waa whispered that tha lat ter, as woll as nuiny another which his customer, wore, had been manufactured with hlsown fair hands long before "grim vlsoged war" bad called him to tho "wrinkled front." Ills namof Well, It began with a B. What the rest of It was Is not to be told hero, but his signature In Its general illegibility susrswrted Blucher. and thU stuck to him, until, through mere en won, k oceanic Uld Blook. It would be a delicate ninttcr. or the ro verse, to describe by what species of Dollt- loal bird llmo the silver eagles of a colonel had been fastened to his shoulders. As the Turk has It chorchct la femmel At flint the officers, who were a swell lot of fel lows, used to lost cynically at the nrosiieet of being lod Into the fray by one whom they had dubbed as "The Knight of tho Shining Shears." And tbo men, who were of that polyglot order only to be met with in a regiment that had been evolved from the slums of Now York, when suak log of him dropped easily Into a vcrnacu lar that can bust be left to the lmogtna tlon. But this did not last long. The first as sault on Port Hudson found the Ono Hun drod and Something New York endeavor ing to flatten Its numerous noses against the glacis of that fortress In mora or less unsuccessful endeavors to avoid the amort' mentot battle and murder and sudden death that was being served up by the gen tlenion on the other sldo of tho parapet But the colonel was standing up I One of tho two smiles ever noun to flit across his rugged features Imparted a sort of flicker to his dyed mustache, as his high pitched voice drawled, " Youse fellers seems to bt a little akcered, b'goahl" The colonel, always terse, was never euphemistic Yet It may be doubted If William the Norman's "Per la rosplondar Del" meant mose than tho two corrupted words In which this more recent paladin was wont to emphasize the little he bad to suy. At this moment one of the many bud ding Napoleons who then Infested the son-Ice displayed the flag of truce that put a temporary stop to our advance and gave the chivalry an opportunity to stick Its haughty head above the breastworks and respond to the "Ucy Johnnlusl" of our affable hoodlums. And during this Inter mission of 20 minutes for refreshments the colonel, who had slowly realized that "the shootin had quit," as leisurely turned his back upon us all and went to the rear, where the cooks were making soup for the survivors. Just as tho ball reopened the colonel's toll form reappeared on the line of battle. In his right hand he bore a tin cup con talnlng a quart of steaming bean soup his loft sustained a bit of hardtack. In the midst of tho leaden hail, tbo shower of fractured Iron, the smoke, the yells, the cheers, tho groans, he calmly stood, now sipping the scalding soup, now nibbling the brittle bread and occasionally (for the soup burned his Ups a little) murmuring B'goshI" At the closo of tho fiery debate, some seven weeks afterward, we had forgotten that ho had ever been a barber, and the men. who still spoke of Old Blook In vary Ins forms of profanity, now added slum flavored notes of admiration. We now had a few days of rest, during which the colo nel reared his mustache, but his profes sional hand had lost its cunning, for some of the pigment got upon his noso and be neath his eyes, so that he looked as if he had just "made up" for a part In a drama that was loss real than the one In which many of us were then plnylng what might be our lost engagement. Next came the Bed river fiasco of 1864, and through its disasters the colonel ad vanced to tho commana oi ms ungaue. This was at Cano river crossing, where the exultant enemy had interposed to pre vent our retroot The position was a com manding one, and Just as our attack upon it hod begun, the brigade commonder dropped with a shattered leg. The colonel galloped to the front and center, where he reinod back his big, ungainly chestnut till that usually sedate beast assumed the atti tude ascribed by Sergeant Buzfuztotbo late Mr. Pickwick that of "a being erect nnnn two loirs." The old man yelled, "Como on!" and, as the relaxed reins suffered his steed to become a quadruped and move forward at a trot tho brigade followed with a cheer. Our color bearer the fifth in as many weeks holding Old Glorv with his right hand, his left being occupied with tho regimental goat who always stood by tho colors, kept closo at ha nnlnnnl'a hcolS. A shell burst In front The color boarer pitched forward with so wild a shriek that the oolonot half turned in the saddle, and .,. in tima to bend and irrasp the flag as held it ud toward him. rri.. nhostnut irave a shy and tho Colo .n foil n(T. The horse roared and plunged and snorted tho colonel s hands L, n r f,ut and of reins, his saber i ii ,. nnl knot from his wrist and, as he tried to save his cap, away flew hla wig. The whole brigade roared one mighty gust of laughter, but when the oolonet after planting the hool of the staff upon his stirrup, snooa out ui -..fth. hrwzn and aoreamed'Tollowmel the lough turned Into a cheer. There was nwnnnonr front With leveled stool and ot the double step, keeping a line as straight as a fence, tho Third brlgadodrove the rebels from tholr position and hold It until the others came up. Tho battle was won. The goat was cropping grass closs nf tha old chestnut The colonel hailed a big sergeant to whom hs surrendered the color, with " Take keer of It an Billy, too-b'gosh!" Then he tied a red bandanna arounu ua H"""'" " and glared at us all as If to ask, " Any re marks about my appearance, gen lomenf When we went Into camp that night and counted noses, a good many turned up m'f'?. hrilllont array that oonstl tntod the staff of our commanding general were many who had been Imported from beyond the seas, inese " barons and counts and princes and things, but in doferenoo to existing prejudices they consented to be known by their family names, which were as unspeakable as the more or loss Volga tongue in which they disapproved of the country that paid them their wage Their uniforms bent beneath atosd ofgUt, and their hair and beards had never been out TOan oa of M flailing omtawa ay pnarod before the colonel with a message of congratulation from tho general, the contrast waa vivid. Tha eminence usually oooupled by the eolonel's wtg was still eooosaled by tbe ru& bandanna and sur mounting wis was a torn and bedraggled straw hat which had besn picked up on the Said. A short hall bad glvcu the colonel ao opportunity to rcdys hla mus tache, and the biacx streaks whlon the op eration had left upon his grim features re- Bunded one Of the style of war map with which our newspaper friends tempted the unwary. Just as the eolonel had mur mured querulously to the adjutant, "One vt tbara d d Cossacks b'gosh I" the gentleman from the steppes baited, brought bis heals together with a snap, made a salute that might have reopened the eyes of the happily defunct Prudurk'k and then, With a profusion of bows and the accent of SvengnJl, fired off a dosen phrases In French. The adjutant trans lated, Old Blook was to be a brigadier! The colonel, wbo had been steadily regard ing tho apparition, squeaked "AdJ'tlnt, tull him to tell the glneral much obleoged b'goahl" Then, with a stiff salute, gasped something like "Oh reservoir!" and disappeared Into his tent When the adjutant, after a mapeotrul knock against the tout pole, looked within to congratulate his chief on the attain ment of the general's star, and also upon the other agmsnble fact that the serene highness had tax on Itmlf off, the straw but waa on the ground, tho red bandanna bont over a pair of open saddlebags, and In one tremulous and wrinkled hand glit tered the miniature of a little ohlld. A tear was rolling down tbe old hero's nose, and he was board to whisper, "The little gal'll be glad tor see ole daddy wearlu stars." The adjutant on tiptoe stepped away. We had Joined the Army of the Potomac, and Karly's manouverlngs had brought us Into the smiling valley of tho Shenandoah. The oalonol a general now waa with us In all tbe glories of his twinkling stars and a new wig. To the hint that he should crovlde himself with a staff com mensurate with his exalted rank be had nulled as his lank flmiers harrowed his mustache: "Don't want no aids I The adj 'tint glneral does the wrltln. Mean tbe rest of youso does the flghtln b'gosh!" The evening of the loth or uotoixir, 1864, the night before tho battle of Cedar Creek, was quiet enough. But It Decani very noisy before daylight fur the people Who had the security of the army In charge had allowed themselves to be surprised. We formed line In the mystifying mist of tbe dawn, and, led by the general, moved against an enemy whom we could not seo, but whoso presence within our lines was accounted for by the flanking fire which struck us. But the brigade held together. The sun suddenly dispelled the fog, and now columns of the enemy could be seen marohlna to our left All at once we became aware that a body of his troops was close upon our rear, "Bear rankabout faoel" yelled the gen eral, and thus we fought, facing both wave, for some exciting inomeuu. An English gentleman, wbo belonged to the color company and who alwnys wore tho bottoms ot his crooned and tattered trou sers turned un. said tbe "'olo thing wi like a bloody sangwlteh," but ho dropped with a sudden shiver as one bullet pierced his heart, wbllo at the some Instant an other snapped his spine. Then orders came to fall back, when we simply elbow ed our war throutrh swarms of the enemy. There was no stamnedo. for we know that tha "old man's" eve was upon ua But when we had oome to whore we could touch noon the rest ot the slowly receding mass, our chief waa not In his accustomed place. And throughout that gloomy morn ing the men, in too pauses oi toe ugnt, would lament that Sheridan was away and that "the robs had sot Old Blook ! When Oeneral Sheridan rode on tho field and the word was passed that the uriny was to move to the attack, the testy old gentleman who commanded the corp" nml whose hirsute adornment hod won 11 liu the name of Brick top, remarked thin "No one would now give a chew of tobacco to Insure tbe success that was certain." Content took the place of doubt, and while dispositions were being mode on the flanks, men In the center read newspapers; some made entries In their diaries and oth ers took a nap. The enemy assaulted, but was repulsed. And then some ot us went to sleep again. The command, "For ward 1" pealed from voice and bugle and our people advanced. The enemy resisted, but In vain, and soon we came In plain view of the position from whioh wo had been swept in the morning. More than 80 years have gone by, and the mellowing hand ot time has softened the asperities, but this Is what we saw as we passed over the fluid of tho early strug glea row of half clad bodies. Most of thorn were dead, but some of the others hailed ua faintly as we charged by. Just as the sun sank our victorious army went Into oamp on the ground where we had slept the night before. At once a half dozen who belonged to his old regi ment started back to hunt up the general. Somo hoped to find blm yet alive, others that be might have been taken prisoner, which bitter waa Just a shade bettor than being killed. As we drew near to the ar ray of half stripped corpses we heard loud notes of walling, mingled with impreca tions, and then recognized the voice of the general's negro servant. Another mo ment brought us to what we, at first thought waa our old friond's corpse. Hit boots) were gone. His coat had been taken. And the poor old darky sobbed with tears and groans and curses, "Doy done tuk dat new wig I" The adjutant knelt beside the body and placed his ear close to the heart Than he took up one long, lean and olanv my band and gazed sadly on the gory fear tores there was a horrid gash across the face and a small blue bole In the breast The general's eyelids trembled. )le opened them and strove to spook, but only a fuint, Whistling sound oaiue through the swollen lips A few drops from a canteen served to afford relief . Then the old man smiled for the second time and the adjutant could Just hear the last whisper, "Tell lit gal ole. dad wearln stars." Cap tain John Leefo In Short Stories. History la Postage Stamp. M.

It is timplj notice thtt Mr Mitchell or some one be n trues will be a candidate for the Repub lican tenatorship. Now it is not certain a Republican senator can be elected.

The llillsboro Independent ap preciates the political situation and the great issue thereof. It tiys: "It mskes little difference whether silver coitisge was a direct Issue this year or not, the democratio successes will be claimed in the in tercets of free silver and another supreme ettort oy souna money men will have to be made n US and 1900. One or two facts from the recent election should he noted. The republican party is the only orcanlzed bodv of voters that stands lor sound money, ani second, sound money candidates cannot be chosen for office in those elates here there are divisions in the ranks of its ad vocates. Sound money needs all the votes on one tally sheet lhat can be mustered.' We do not bolive McKinley lust any gold votes. There are "on di visions in the ranks of its advo cate." It was the silver men that scattered thoir foro and weakoned the'.r cause by senseless divisiona and jealousies over party names when they should have been united in one common cause on the one great Issue. Corvallls Gazotte Rsp: "From certain quarters we bear appeals or harmony in tbe republican ranks of Oregon. Seridus looking gentlemen are solemnly singing that dolefully peaceful hymn, . aa a "how sweet is unity. Ana mey don't know how funny they are. The republican party in Oregon is doing very well, thank you. It Is only those wlu are out of harmony with the party tbat are so loudly clamoring for harmony.
