(laiul.lll.il ami Flogging «nrprlsa.l Mr. Sala. Let it be, however, distinctly under stood that ill the field and in camp the Union army, which, as I have pre viously said, was eventually a million strong, was, so far as the rank and tile were concerned, wholly aud completely a teetotal army. Not one drop of whis key, wine or beer was allowed to lie sold at the canteens. Small quantities of whiskey were from time to time smuggled in by the soldiers, anti this contraband liquor was usually contained in shallow, oblong flasks, made up to resemble bibles ami testa ments, with neat metallic clasps. It was tlie ofileers, however, mid not tlie men; who us a rule were able to obtain these surreptious supplies of Bourbon; and I can remember once reading in a Washington paper a pathetic letter from one of tlie wearers of the sky blue gabardines, in which he professed his great love for scripture, but objected to seeing a testament staggering about witli a pair of shoulder straps on—em broidered shoulder straps being tlie climaeteristic mark of a commissioned officer. Tlie federal troops were able to dispense with strong drink, owing to the amazingly good care which had been bestowed on their personal com fort by a hotly called the Sanitary com mission, of which there were branches all over the north, ami which were able to deal with immense sums of mon ey. In aid of their funds balls mid fancy fairs were frequently held, mid the voluntary contributions formed in addition a tremendous aggregate. It was not only medicines mid hospital appliances that the Sanitary commis sion supplied to those who wero light ing for the union; it supplemented in a hundred different ways ths abnormally abundant rations served out by the • government to the soldiers. Cakes, pies, fruit, potted meats and even those candies, or lollipops, of which abstain ing Americans are often immoderately fond, were freely supplied to the federal warriors, who also revelled, thanks to the care of the commission, in fleecy hosiery, nightcups, worsted mittens sUpper*. In addition to this Sanitary commission there was another called the Christian commission, which min istered to the spiritual needs of the rank and file by the distribution of bibles and tracts, and by paying the stipends of additional chaplains. One other equally significant fact is stated with regard to tlie wonderful Army of the Potomac. These legions were governed praetically without cor poral punishment; nor, save in a very few instances, when some peculiarly heinous offense against military law had been committed, was the puuish- ment of death inflicted. I remember when I was down with tlie federal ar my in Virginia, seeing at tlio general's headquarters a wretched creature, a de linquent soldier, who, under tlie grim guard of a sentry, was sweeping all the refuse away mid shoveling it into bas kets. He was to endure so many hours of this drudgery fur so many days, as had been guilty, so I was told, of some exceptionally disgraceful crime. Now mid again some martinet commanding officer would venture upon a course of procedure slightly analogous to bodily punishment. I have heard of offend ing soldiers being “spread-eagled,” that is to Bay, tied by the wrists and ankles to the wheels of a gun or mi ammuni tion wagon and left bareheaded for a certahi time in the blazing’ sun. But these certainly indefensible punish ments were rarely reserted to. Remem bering that the use of tlu-cat was com mon in the British army during the Crimean war, and that flogging in the army was not totally abolished until the passing of The Army Discipline act In April, 1881, and that in the French army, although corporal punishment had long since disappeared;from it. the death penalty was frequently enforced, it can scarcely have failed to strike an onlooker with astonishment that the American commanders should have been able to preserve discipline among the hundreds of thousands of men serv ing under them without Hogging them mid without hanging or'shooting them in proportion evea remotely approach ing the infliction of suali extreme |>en- altles in the French army. It must be remembered, moreover, that the blue bellies comprised in their ranks mi as- touiidinglyjiiiiseeliaueous congregation of humanity. There was, truly, a very numerous element of sternly resolute untlichingly energetic soldiers, who were fighting not only for tlie unity of the republic, but for conscience sake, and would have regarded tlie emanci pation of the negro as a kind of holy war. These, practically, the worthy descendants of the old Puritans, wore the leaven that gave life and vigor to the whole federal army.— G. A. S'nlei in Lonelrm Trlrfimpli. The Bell Telephone. The report of the American Bell tele phone company states that it lias now under rental no less than 552,720 tele phones, an increase of over 40,000 for the year. There are now 812 exchanges and an aggregate mileage of wire of 307,01—90,210 miles of which is under ground. The estimated number of ex change connections made for conversa tion is about 000,000,000 jxr year. Great progress has been made the past year in the establishment of trunk lines connecting the different exchange systems, and the number of inter change connections made during the year was aliout 13,000,000. The use of the telephone by its subscribers ap pears to lie increasing, as its conven ience liecomes more appreciated. Each subscriber, on the average, is placed in communication with others in the same exchange sixteen times per day, | while six years ago the average was only 11.0. With the recent extension« and additions to the system, more than ' one-half of the total population of the United States have now lieen brought within talking distance of each other, and it is a fact that a man may sit in hi* office chair in New York and speak directly to any one of 125,000 telephone suhscriliers, some of them over a thou sand miles distant. The gross revenue for the year for telephone rental* was in round numbers $3,000,000, being a little less than $H pet instrument, from which it appears that this rental.
