RESTORED TO ARMY Justice Is Not Only Blind, But Often Very Slow. Cinpfrii W ho, for Any llenaon, Have Ucrii Dropped from the Service llurely Ever Secure ltelu- Mt a It* in cut, TSpeclal Washington Letter.] 44 O ENATOII lIOAK is not only a statesman, but a loveable man of the plain people," Said a former army officer to-day. 'J'he senator is now almost 70 years of age, and of course is not at strong physically as he once was, al though mentally is he a tower of Strength. "1 called on him at the senate one morning recently, to tell him that my bill for restoration in the army Smis hung lip in the house of repre sentatives. He told me that after lunch he would personally look into the case. Although he had many matters of greater importance on his mind, when the time came the old gentleman took me by the arm and walked that long distance from the Senate to the house. That body w;ts in session, and I remained out in the corridor while he went inside. He saw members of the committee on military affairs, and then left the case in charge of a representative from Massachusetts, i\ho is to look after it. "Now, if T had been a politician, 1 might not have been surprised at a senator doing so much for me. 15ut I am not a politician, and I have not Toted in Massachusetts for many years. The senator knew me as a citizen of Massachusetts who had served in the civil war and after wards in the regular army. lie knew that I had been unjustly turned out of the army, and he dn termined to help me get justice. He liad the bill passed by the senate two months ago, and now it must be passed by the house.l am sure that it will be all right, because the sen fitor has taken a personal interest in it. My I'nele Tom and he were classmates at Harvard; hence he knows the family, and has turned nside from bis duties of statesman ship long enough to give me a help in? hand. Out of many years' ex perience I can say that there are few. senators who would do so much for one who can do nothing in re turn. except express heartfelt thanks." Lieut. Francis S. Davidson, who thus tells of the kindness of the venerable statesman from Massachusetts, was fi cadet- at West Point from .Tuly 1. 1802, to January 31, 3865, when he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Fifth Massachusetts cavalry, and served with that regiment until Oc tober 31, 1865, when lie was honora ry mustered out with the regiment. On March 7. ]SO7, he was commissioned second lieutenant of the Ninth United Etates cavalry and promoted to first lieutenant, July 31, 1867. He served with his regiment on the Texas: fron tier against hostile Indians until July, 1875, when he was ordered with his company on a scout and to make a temporary camp at a water hole called "El Louz ranch." Lieut. Davidson is not the first good soldier who has suffered from envies and jealousies; and it was in 1875 that his persecutions began. The writer had personally known him for almost SO years, and hence is familiar with his story. When he left Fort Drown, lex., togo on that seout, the officer LIEUT. F. S. DAVIDSON. who inspected his company preferred charges against him as to the condi tion of his company and wagons. Of these charges lie was acquit ted. But that did not end the matter. It is well known to those familiar with the old army that when conspirators begin to seek court-martials they Usually succeed in tome manner. Charges were later preferred against Davidson for "breach of arrest and gaming in the presence of enlisted men." He had not been placed in close arrest, during the trial before the court which acquitted him, but was simply ordered to remain with his company under arrest. He did not leave the ranch of HI Louz, nor did he leave his company. The assertion bs to gaming was that he had thrown n S2O bill on a table that a Mexican had in front of one of the huts at that ranch, where some of the soldiers played monte. The judge advocate general. In May. IR7H, reported: "The new rvlderre *ubmlttrd mny he rfp inid to cast a friend in con gress to take r. personal interest in him. lie has now, and he will have tho satisfaction of having his record cleared of those unfair charges. Another old soldier was met by the narrator, and he, too, was in good spirits, for the congress has passed the bill placing him on the retired list as a captain. Maj. James \V. Long is well known in the northwest, particularly in Michigan, where ha served for many years. Before the committee on military affairs Maj, Long appeared and told his story ad follows; "I was appointed by President Lin coln as second lieutenant, Second in fantry, August 5, 1801. Was with j y- I HON*. J. A. T. HULL. (Chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs.) my regiment constantly on duty un-» til June 27, ISG2, when at the battle of Gaines Mill 1 was wounded in the foot, wrist and face, and thoroughly disabled for the time. While at home at Buffalo before the bandages were taken from my face 1 was put on recruiting service. 1 returned to my regiment and was detailed as as sistant commissary of musters under command of Gen. Ilcintzelnian. My right eye was put out at Gaines Mill and my remaining eye began to trouble me. Surgeon Basil Norris. well known in Washington, insisted that 1 should be discharged for disa bility. Hut 1 was born in the army and raised in it, and would not ghq up. I was promoted to be captain, joined my regiment on the Kappa hannock, then went to New York to suppress draft riots, and again back to the field. Although suffering fa cial neuralgia all the time, I partici pated in the battles of the Wilder ness and Spottsylvania. I was then ordered to Annapolis for treatment of my left eye, and while there re mained on active duty in military command of the oflicers* hospital. I continued on various field duties un til May 7, 1809, when I was ordered on duty as Indian agent, being in cluded in a general order providing for numerous oflicers who were left out of their regimental organizations by consolidation of infantry regi ments provided for by act of con gress. The order contained these words: "Should vacancies occur en titling them to promotion in the rrg ular army during their term of serv ice on such Indian duty, they shall receive promotion the same as though on ordinary detached military duty." While thus serving. Maj. Long's eye became very weak and painful, and he finally applied for retirement*.be cause of incapacity. To his surprise, the examining board refused him re tirement, although he had lost one eye in battle and the ether one was palpably disabled, lie applied for re lief from duty as Indian agent, and the necessary order was issued; but it was sent through the Indian office and did not reach him for more than six months. Not knowing that this order had been issued; being assured of being legislated out of the army, with many others, .on December 31, l v 70; preferring resignation to being legislated out, Maj. Long resigned. During the past 32 years he has been trying to have the wrong righted, by act of congress. It is done at last, lie is restored to the army as a cap tain and placed on the retired list. He will receive SIOO per month dur ing the remainder of his life. This will gradually dispose of his embar rassments. and support his family in comparative comfort. Congressman Hull, of lowa, chair man of the house committee on mili tary affairs, said; "I am very glad that Maj. Long hns- finally succeeded in getting his bill through both houses of congress. We have many cases be fore the committee, only a small pro portion of which ever become laws. Each case is carefully scrutinized, and you may be sure that only the truly meritorious eases receive favorable reports from our committee." Maj. Long and Lieut Davidson art made happy having lived long enough to acquire rights which should never have been taken from them Justice i' not only blind, but coma times dreadfully slow. SMITII D.

A com inon size for the boxes is 2>4xlMj fee ll|pilSl I IiOXES IN STORAGE ROOM. by four inches deep, with upright pieces at each corner four inches abovt the sides, so that the boxes may b< piled up. There may be handles or each end, or a cross bar lengthwise through the middle will answer tin same purpose. From '.'.o to 40 of tliesf boxes are required to hold seed enougl for an acre. For storing, a build in j. where the tubers may be kept coolant be exposed to light is preferable, as tough, stoeky sprouts* are thus induced The cut shows t he manner in which tli« boxes are piled in the storage room Potatoes sprout'id thus may be plant e<: from one to three weeks later thar usual, when all danger of frost is past and the soil is in condition for rapit growth.

A growing tree, however young, ia always attractive and inspiring, es pecially to those who have to pass tliein often as the days and years go by. We drive many miles every summer to view the scattering "stately old set tlors that arc left, but after all there is a world of satisfaction in a thrifty tree, all the time before it has reached its prime. Now I fully real ize the danger of shading a country road, and I would never set a hedge or build a style of fence that would Stop the snow. The time has come when that is an inexcusable offense; and wherever a tree causes serious trouble by keeping the road muddy 1 would cut it clown. Nevertheless I would set trees along the thorough fare 100 feet apart. On roads running east and west they need only to be set on the south side in which case they draw from the adjoining fields but very little. On roads running north and south they should be 200 feet on a side set alternatively (not referring to the front of dwellings). This would give the air and sun free access, and pro duce a class of trees that would "astonish the natives." We do not realize how much beauty there is in outline, and the attractiveness of oar most lovely towns would be more than doubled if half the trees were taken out. As to position, I would put tliem as near the line as possible, but never outside the wall, as is customary. If they are allowed three feet inside the line, so much the better. As to variety any one good kind would produce a pleasanter effect (in rows) than to have them change too often. I would use maple or elm where there is no objection, and the Baldwin apple where the farms were small. At any rate let us find a place, If possible, for some enduring natives fif the forest that will keep its mem ory green, but let us not ruin the roads by wrong setting.—Charles D Try on, in Ohio Farmer.

Then with the thumb and fingei squeeze the wound until the blood starts from it. Then apply an alco holic solution of the acid, after which paint the spot with collodion, so as to exclude the air.
