MARK TW AIM'S WAR RECORD.
IK TELLS IT ALL IN A SPEECH AT THE
ANCIENT AND IIIINORAHLE TIANQI'ET
AT HARTFORD.
I wouldn't hnvo miwoil linini; hero
for pood dual. The Innt time I liud
the itriviU'ce of brenkinir lireutl with
Holdiers was boiiio yciini no with the
oldest military organization in Enjr-
land, the Ancient und lluiioramc Ar
tilhy (.'oiniiany of London, somewhere
uhout it eix hundredth annivernarv ;
and now 1 have enjoyed this privilege
with itaeldcHt child, tho oldest tnililu-
ry orguniialion in Amorita, the An.
cient and llonorahle Artillurv Compa
ny ol JlasHSchiifiettH, on this their two
hundred und fortieth nnnivorsury.
Fine old stock, both of you : and if yon
light as well as you feed, God protect
the enemy. I did not axHcmblu at tho
hotel parlors to-day to bo received hv
a Committee as a nioio civilian giicM.
yiy: I nssemulcd at the hoadniiartei'H
ol tho Putnam Phalanx and inni'tcd
uiron my right lo bo escorted to this
place us one ot the military gueuls.
For I, too, am a soldier. I am inured
to war. 1 havo a military hixtory, 1
have been through a stirring cum
paign, and thcro is not oven a mention
of it in any history of tho United
States or of the Southern Confederacy.
To such lengths can tho envy and ma
lignity of the historian j'u. 1 will un
bosom mysclt hero, wbcru 1 cannot
but find sympathy. I will tell you
about it und appeal through you to
justice. In tho eerlicst summer days
ot the war, 1 slipped out ol ilannilial,
Mo., bv night, with a friond, and join
ed a detachment ol tho rebel General
Tom Harris' (I find myself in a great
minority hero) ami", up a gorgo lie
hind an old barn in Kalis county. Co).
Kalis, of Moxican war celebrity, swore
ui in. ilo mailo us sweur to uphold
the flag and Constitution ot tho United
States, and to destroy every other
military organization that wo caught
doing tho samo thing, which being in
terpreted means that wo wero to re
pel invasion. Well, yon seo this mix
ed us. Wo couldn't really tell which
sido wo wore on. lint wo went into
amp and left it to the God of battles.
For that was tho term then. I was
mado Second Lieutenant and Chief
Mogul of a company of elevon men
who knew nothing about war nor
anything, for wo had no Captain. My
friend, who was 1!) years old, six feet
high, three loet wulo und somo tlis-
tanco through, and just out ot tho in
fant school, was mado orderly.se rgcant.
His iiamo was lien Tupper. lie hud
a hard lime. When ho was mounted,
and on tho march, ho used to go to
sleep, and his horso would reach
around to bilo him on tho leg, and then
ho would wako up and cry und curse
and want to go homo. Tho other mm
pestered him a good deal. too. Hen
thiy wore dismoiinto! lboy sjid ihey
couldn't march in double file with him
because his feet took up so much room.
Ono night, when wo wero round the
camp firo, somo fellow on the outside
n tho cold said : "Ken 1 upper, put
down that newspaper; it throws the
hulo place into twilight, itiiii carts a
liadnw like a blanket." lien said :
I ain't got any newspaper." 1 hen
the other fellow said : ''Oh, I seo; 'twas
your oar. n a all slept In a corn enn;
on the corn, and tho ruls wero very
thick, lion Tupper had been careful
ly and rightly reared, and when ho
was ready for bed ho would sturt to
pray and a rut would bite him on the
boel. And then ho wouia sit up nnii
swear all night and koep everybody
awake. II. was town-bred and did
not seem to havo any correct idea ol
military discipline. II 1 commamleil
him to shut up, ho would say, "Who
was Your nigeor last year?" Ono cvo
ning 1 ordered him to ride ont about
throe miles on picket duty, to tho bo
ginning of a prairie. Raid ho, "What,
in tho night, and them blamed Union
soldiers likely to bo prowlin' around
there any time V So bo wouldn't go,
and tho next morning 1 ordered him
again. Saul ho: "In tho rain r l ttiiiiK
see myself r Jio tiiun i go. lOBl
day 1 ordored him on picket duty
once moro. This timo ho looked hurt.
Said lie: "What, on Sunday ; yon must
uo J d lool." Well, picketing
might havo been a very good thing,
but 1 saw it was impracticable, so I
rotipcd it from my military system.
Y had a trood enough timo thero at
that barn, barring the rats and mos
quitoes and tho rain. Wo levied on
both parties impartially, and both par
ties hatod us impartially. Hut ono
ay wo heard that the invauer was
nnroaehinif. So wo had to pack up
and inovo, of course, and within twenty-four
hour, ho was coming again.
So we moved again. Next day he was
aftor us once more. Well, wo didn't
ke it mnch but wo moved rather
than make trouble. And this went
for a week or leu days, anil wo saw
considerable scenery. Ihon Hen 1 up
per's patience was lost. uiu no : it ar
ia not what it's crackod op to be. I'm
going borne If I can't ever got a chanco
to sit down a minute. Why do theso
nnnln keen us hiimnin arotina so
ilamo their skins, do thoy think this
is an excursion?"
Some of the other town toys got to
grumbling. They complained mat
there was an innuuien'u. i
las. So I sent around ,o tno larmor.
and borrowed what 1 could. Then
CLEARFIELD,
they complained that tho Worcester
shire saueo was out. Thoro wan muti-
ny and dissatisfaction all around, and
oi courso, at such a timo as this, tho
invader, must come around postering
us ngnin ; as much as two hours be
fore breakfast, too, when no one want
ed to turn ont, ol course. This was
currying tho thing too far. Tho whole
command Jolt insulted. 1 .detached
ono of my aids and sent him to tho
Hrigadior and asked him to assign u
a district whero thero wasn't so m.ch
bothor going on. Tho history of our
campaign was laid befor) him ; but in
stead oi ooing touchod by it, what did
ho do? Ho sunt back an indignant
moHsago and said : "You havo had a
dozen chances inside of two wcoks to
capture the enemy and he is still at
largo. (Woll, what of that!) Slay
where you are thi. timo or 1 will court
martial and hang the wholo of you."
Woll, 1 submitted this brutal mossago
to my outtaiion and asked their ad
vico. Said the Orderly Sergeant: "If
loin Harris wants thoenomy, lot him
como hero and get him. 1 ain't got
any uso for my share, and who's Tom
Harris anyway, I'd lilto to know, that's
pulling on so many Inlls. Why, I
knew him when Iro wasn't anything
but a darned telegraph operator, (ion
llomen you can do as you choose. As
for me, I've got enough of this sashay
ing around so'st you can get a chanco
to pray, becanso the time is all requir
ed for cussing, so off goes my war
paint. You hear mo!" Tho whole
regiment said with ono voice, "That's
tho tulle lor mo." So thoro and then,
on tho spot, my brigado disbanded
itsoll and tramped off home, with mo
in tho toil of it. 1 hung up mv own
sword and returned to tho arts of
reaco, and thero wero people who said
hadn't been ulisunt from homo yet.
Wo wero tho first men that wont into
the service in Missouri ; wo woro the
first that went out of it anywhere.
This, gentlemen, is tho history of the
part which my division took in the
great rebellion, and such is tho milita
ry record of Us Connnaiider in Chiof,
and this is the first time that the deeds
of those warriors havo been brought
officially to the notice ol humanity.
I reasiiro Uioho things in your hearts.
And so shall tho detected and trucu
lent historians of this land ho brought
to shame and confusion. I ak you to
nil your glasses and drink with mo to
tho reverent memory of tho Orderly
Sergeant and thoso other noglected
and forgotten heroes, my lootsoro and
travel-stained paladins who wero first
in war, first in peaco and woro not
idle during tho interval thut luy be
tween. ATTEMPT OF NAPOLEUX TO
CROSS THE HI VER DAS U BE
IX MAY, mo. ,
Tho immediate problem which has
to bo solved by a General who at
tempts to carry an army across a river
which is defended by tho enemy is how
to throw over, at somo point or other,
before tho adversary ali.ll have had
timo to make dispositions to prevent
him, such a forco as shall be ablo to
hold its ground and beat off attack un
til the wholo army shall be salcly
transported across tho river in rear of
tho screen thus formed. Tho timo,
therefore, require by largo bodies of
troops to nlo over a rHlo.ticcomcs
an important clemont in tho calcula
tion, and, consequently at tho present
moment tho following details of tho
actual passtigo nf a largo army across
tho Danube will not ho without inter
ost. In May, 1809, Nupoloon deter
mined to crosstho Dannbo and attack
tho Austrian army, which, having been
defeated on tho right bank, hail retir
ed to tho north ot tho rivor. Various
considerations, political as well as mil
itary, induced him to select Vienna as
tho town in tho neighborhood of which
tho attempt should bo made, and tho
actual spot chosen by him was whero
tho river is divided into two branches
by tho Island of Lulmu. Of theso two
arms tho moro southern is tho wider,
tho northern ono having an avcrngo
width of 120 yarclc. Tho forco nt the
disposal of Napoleon amounted In
round numbers to 90,000 men, whilo
tho opposing army under thoeoinmand
ol tbu Archduko Charles was uhout
100,000 strong. Keeping his design
secret, Napoleon was uble to occupy
the Island of Lobau without opposi
tion, llriilging materials had been
prepared, and in llneo hours, on tho
20th of May, communication was es
tablished by means of ft ft con pontoons
between tho island and the lull bank,
lieforo dark a division of li'ht cavalry
under General l.asnlle, a division of
infantry under Molitor, und a division
of voli igcurs under I'oiidct, in all 1H,
500 men, had filed across, and, ua tho
enemy hail not become nwaro of Na
poleon's enterprise, wero ablo to take
up a strong position without being
molested. Hut now tho bridgo gavo
way. Tho wholo night was spent in
tho work ol repair, and it wns not tin
til morning that tho passage of tho
rivor could bo resumed, During the
early part of tho forenoon of the 21st,1
Masulux's cavalry, Kspngno'ii cuiras
siers, Legrand's division of infantry,
and boiiio artillery, in all about 9,000
(lien, crossei! over; when again the
bridge broko. Tho Danube, which

PRAISE AH D FLATTERY.
There is no ono who does not like
to receive tho approval ol others. Tho
young and old, tho rich and poor,
moso who are educated and thoso wbo
havo no education, aro sensiblo of its
iinucnco and stimulated by its bo.
stowal. Pruiso may sometimes bo mis
taken lor flattery, and tlattory for
prutse; but they are as tlilleront Irom
each other as the purest diamond from
tho basest imitation. True praiso
springs I rout a candid lueling ol admi
ration ol a worthy deed or net ol
merit. It comes from tho heart, and
has an existence there before it issues
from tho lips, it is an honest citiirus
sion, and generous tribute ot pleasure
in wlnit is ot value, there is no rela
tinn In life when honest praiso is not
oi uenctit.
On the other hand, flattery is a do
cided harm. Flattery is tin) expres
sion of what was never fell, a hypo
critical attempt at approval,
and a baso endeavor to accomplish
somo selfish end. It is easily distin
guishable, and is alike degrading to
him who stoops lo give it and him who
bonds servilely to receive it. Vet, let
no ono mistnko praise for flattery. II
the ono is dcspisublo, the other is no
blo and genorous. Words of lovo and
approval havo brightened and glad
dened many a lifo that would olhcr
wiso have been passed in loneliness
and discouragement.
Many who have mado a mark in the
world would have risen to still higher
greatness if words of praiso had been
boelowod to cheer and stronglhon them
in their struggle, and not kept back
until after they bad passed whero they
wero of no benefit,, llow much Doner
would it be to lavish somo of tbe praiso
on the living that so often rises to tho
lip, than to wait until after death,
when it is too Inte to encourage or to
inspire to now efforts. A truly gener
ous and high-minded man is quick to
recognize, and willing to acknowledge
every, real excellence in thoso with
whom ho mingles.
, There is no telling how much good
is lost to mankind by Iho gloomy spirit
that koeps praiso and outspoken ap
proval from those who aro truly do
serving of it. A father and mother,
husband and wile, or brother and sis
ter, do not retrain from expressing
their displeasure when felt, whether
felt justly or uninstly; but when an
effort is mado on the part of another
to give pleasure, or alter somo act ol
filial or fraternal sclf sacrifico, or ser
vice chccrlully rendered, how seldom
aro loving thanks or expressions of ap
preciation bestowed as a reward.
Also employe frequently find fault
on many tiival occasions, but scarce
ly over heod tho daily cases of fidelity
and energy that como under their ob
servation. Such indifl'eronco often
does a groat deal toward impairing the
fidelity and depressing the energy that
might liuvu been strengthened and
confirmed by a few timely words of
approval. Thero is no relation in life
when honest praise sincerely rendered
will not produce rich fruits of happi
ness by spreading tho sunshino of
gladness and encouraging now efforts

CONGRESS GOES TO A HORSE
RACE
Tho Sonato and Houso adjournod
ovor Wednesday of last wock, tbo 24th
inst., because neithor body wus oxactly
ready for business, and besides that
some tho members wanted to hnvo a
liltlo sport.
The progress of Old World civiliza-
tion in the Western Hemisphere, writes
a correspondent ol the New York llir-
aid, was novor so strikingly illustrated
as it was horo in Washington to-day
(Tnosday, Oct. 23d), when the Houso
oi Koprosontativos adjourned over un
til Wednesday, in order that tbo mem
bers might attend tho great four-mile
race to morrow at Baltimore, betwocn
Ten Brooek, Tom Ochiltree and Parole.
Tho Senate was prepared to do liko
wiso, notwithstanding its grave and
reverned character, and Senator Cam
eron bad a special car at itiu depot tu
take over tho benntonal parly at ten
o'clock in tho morning, whon word
was received that tbe raco bad been
postponed for twenty-four hours. Fco
within a year or two tbo American
pcoplo have boon astonished at the
adjournment ot the British Parliament
to attend the Derby. What must now
naturully be their surprise to learn that
tho resolution of adjournment was the
suggestion of both Democrats and Ko
publicans, and was designed to give
tho mombers an opportunity of witness-
ng the great contest between llio rival
horses ot tho East and South. Tho
conversation in the Sonato chamber
was even more hilarious than on tho
floor ot tho Houso. Imagine tho grave
und dry Chairman of tho Judiciary
Commitloe, Judgo Kdmunds, of Ver
mont searching lor a senator with
whom he could pair to morrow, that
ho might go to Baltimore on somo pri
vato business, and when be found the
Senator who would pair with him, ex
pressing surprise that so many Sena
tors bad business in Haltimoro on the
samo day. It was jocularly remarked
that it was election day, and the ben-
ato was going to colonize voters. Mr.
Cox, of Now York, said ho had been
nvited to go over and help support
Dr. Mudd, ono of tho candidates for
tho Maryland Legislature, and he was
inclined to go over, but not for that
purpose, however, becanso tho politi
cians would be sure to throw mud nt
him in aftor years. Like Senator Ed
munds, he bad a little business which
he wanted to transact. A member of
tho Sonato Judiciary Committee was
appealed to not report tho nomination
I Gonoral Harlan for Associato Justice
of the Supremo Court.

Tbe friend of tho General morclv re
plied : " 1 have a liltlo business in

with tho rod banduna, " Ihat I too may

Sonntor Cameron had his special car
not only stocked with refreshments,
but it was to be switched on to tho
Northern Central lino and run closo to
the race track.
" What did thoy ever name a horse
Tom Ochiltree for?" asked an old
fashioned Senator. "Ho was onco
a United Stntos Marshal in Texas. Was
bo fleet of foot ? "
The answer of a Kentucky horso-
man settled tho question. " Did you
over hear tho expression, ' He can lio
as fast as a horso can run ? ' Well,
that was lorn Ocbiltrcos forto, and
benco tbo belief that no horso named
aftor him could be beaten. , How mueb

SHEEP AND TURNIP HUSBAN

up mo lertniiy ot the arulilo soil, and
causes tho yield of whent, barley, oats,

the number ol bushels which were for
merly grown. This has been done,
too, whilo In iho United States exact
ly IhooppoBite has bcon accomplished,
for here tho yield of wheat, barley, and
oats has become less than half what
was grown in days of yore. Tho hous-
ng ol sheep by night, in Summer, is a
great detriment lo the pasture they
feed on, and tho severity of Iho Win

to Inke tho turnips off tho land where
grown, to bo oaton In barns ii a draw
back to tbo chief benefit of the crop for
mproving and renovating the soil.
Ingenuity Is a characteristic of the
American nation, and the men who

and covered with earth sufficiently

cot them up with a machine, and feed

Iho South will, doubtless, eventual

and there turnips can bo grown and

SUCCESSFUL BEE CULTURE.
Thoso persons who expect to mako
boo-koeping a success should keep a

mentioned may be induced to do so by
giving thorn boxes containing comb,
with tho bees and comb in it, and put
t on tbo lazy bivo. This will gener
ally have tbo required effect, for "ex
ample is moro powerful than precept."
As last as tho receptacles are tilled and
the honey capped they should bo ro-
moved, so that tho delicately while
comb may not bo soiled by the travel
of the bees. All pieces of white comb
should bo put into the sample boxos ;

vons and Miller wore brought into tbe
plot. In order better to secure tho
success of their plans, Ham and his
confederates caused to be mado dupli
cate copies of Nutional and other seals,
and procured specimens of tbo signa
tures of numerous Stato officials of
Texas. An immense amount of land
has beep conveyed under many differ
ent aliases nnd to Ua :nnny different
persons. About a year ago tbe alu-i
tion ot (iovornor Hubbard was called
to tho matter, and on looking into it ho
was satisfied that a monstrous swindle
had been perpetrated, involving tho
interests nf both the Stato of Texas
und the United Stales. Tbo authori
ties at Washington woro notified of tho
fads discovered, and Special Agent
Foster was sent out horo, whero ho
obtained clues to tho authors of the
swindle, which hnvo been closely fol
lowed ever since, resulting in tho ar
tiest of sixty persons simultaneously, in
various parts of tho country, who bo

teen Court Houses have been set on
fire and burned during tbo pust year
lo destroy evidenco that could have
been brought against tbo conspirators.
