SOLDIERS’ COLUMN
HARD TIMES.
How Baitery M, 5th U. 8. Art, Went to
Dry Tor .uga?.
WE did not
like it! No,
most emphat-
ically, no. But
what would
you do? It was
an order from
the War De-
partment’ and
that settled it.
Ay! but any
man whe serv-
ed in the army
knows. how
: we felt when
‘ | this order came
to dismount Battery M. 5th U. 8., Art.,
and equip the men with gun and side-
arm. We werein the service since
beginning of the war, and most
of the men had veteranized. We
were with the Sixth Corps
on many occasions; especially was this
so at Cedar Creek, Oct. 19, 1864,where
our battery was fearfully cut up. “The
Cannoneer” can vouch for this.He was
one of the boys. The battery was scnt
to Camp Berry at Washington and we
were finally dismounted and furnished
with rifles, made do dutyaround
Washington, until one nice day we
were ordered to New York. Here we
were sent on board the North Star, a
new boat of the Star Line of steamers.
Our destination,we learned later,was
Dry Tortugas. Oh,the lovely prospect
—right from over three years’ hard
marching and hardship, to go out to
this out of the way rip rap and guard
political prisoners. In my own easel
went to the then commanding officer
of Battery M. First Lieut. Klapp, lay-
ing my claim for discharge before
him. You may see for yourself how
much I was entitled by the following.
In November,1862.an order from the
War Department r:ad as follows: “Ten
men of each volunteer company may
enlist in the Regular Army, the time
served in the volunteer service to be
deducted from the three years.”
I was at the time 1n the Lost Child-
ren, a Zouave regiment, lying in front
of Yorktown. There were, besides my-
self, my brother and four Swiss boys
who went aleng inside the fort and
enlisted in Battery M.
Our ignorance of the English lan-
guage was here apparent in not includ-
ing our six months’ service in the re-
maining three years enlistment, where-
by we would have been discharged in
June, 1864, in front of Petersburg, and
we could have veteranized wit» a
goodly bounty; whereof we now were
debarred,and our time was not up until
November. So you may see how un-
fairly our ignorance was taken advan-
tage of. 7
Of the six to enlist in the battery
there were now only three remaining.
In the name of the three boys and my-
self I asked Lieut. Klapp for our dis—
charge before leaving New York, as
we only had some 12 or 14 days to
serve and it would not be worth while
to carry us all the way down to Dry
Tortugas only to be discharged on the
way or on our arrival there. But no.
Lieut. Klapp probably thought he
could retain ourservices for another en—
listment and of coursehe,do’ng his duty
in the interest of the Government, was
not to blame for refusing the demand.
On the afternoon of Oct. 19, 1864, we
passed by our headquarters, the band
playing ou the ramparts at Fort Rich-
mond for our benefit,
There were three batteries, or what
had been batteries, but now acted as
heavy artillery, oa board. I am not
sure of the othez two, but I believe
they were Batteries D. and L. Any-
how, everything went merry as a mar-
riage bell at first.
On ¢2e morning of Oct. 21, when
off Cape Hatteras, a storm blew up
which lasted for three days and which
did more damage to shipping than w: 8
known for years.
Our steamer was new and not very
“crankv.” still. like all sidewheel
steamers, a fearful roller while lyicg to
in the trough of the sea.
I had been a sailor previous to my
coming to America, so I did not care
a picayune how much if blew or how
much the vessel rolled. I had made my
headquarters in lee of the first cabin,
on deck. The rest of the poor lads were
chopped up and down in the fore hold
and it was no pleasant place. What
with the hatches battoned down there
was very scant ventilation and light
down there amongst 100 men, all sea
sick. - It was fearful—the swearing,
raving, and, yes, a little, very little,
praying going on.
On the morning of the 22d the storm
grew in fierceness and cur smokestack
was wrecked, and we had alively
time to secure the monster, and before
it was done two of the crew
lost their lives and an hour later the
Second Mate was knocked overboard
by the stack breaking its moorings.
Finally, toward evening,the blamed
thing broke its moorings again, and a
big roller sweeping the deck took it
over board and wrecked our starboard
whegl before we could cut loose from
the monster, who in the last flop duga
big hole in the ship’s planking,and we
rommenced leaking at a fearful rate.
With the smokestack gone clear at the
deck we could not carry steam, as we
had to cover up the opening of the
stack. which otherwise would have
swamped us;our handpumps were man-
ned, but it was hard work, and we
knew soon that the water was gaining
on us. It was a fearful night.
On the morning of the 23d it was
found, on sounding the well, that the
water could not be stopped by hand-
pumping. It was steadily gaining, and
the Engineer told us we were leaking
at the rate of 8,000 gallons per minute;
that if no other remedy than the pumps
were used we would finally founder,
E —, a
He advised the throwing overboard of
111 freight; and we succeeded in throw-
ing overboard some three or four hun-
dred tons of freight which brought the
‘aak up out of the water, with only the
washings of the sea to overcome, and
that was no small item; but we finally
got the upperhand. The storm having
sartially brcke we removed the cov-
ring from over the smokestack, and a
small force of steam was gotten up,
steam pumps finally got in their work,
and with our one wheel, the port one,
going against a helm hard-aport Wwe
made headway like a crab.
Toward evening on the 23d a tug-
boat sighted us, hitched on, and final-
ly landed us in Norfolk at 10 a.m. Oct.
24, 1865; the most God-forlorn subjects
you eould put you eyes on.
By the time she was tied up at Nor-
folk wharfour men and officers and a
few civilian passengers, gradually
made their appearance. A sorry let
they were—pale, emaciated,unwashed,
unshaven, with big, “sleepy eyes and
disarranged apparel.
Now, me and my two Swiss friends’
time of service was up on the 2d of
November. Another war steamer was
sent for per telegraph to come and re-
ceive us, and try to land us on Dry
Tortugas,
I was not willing becauseof a few
days more to undergo any more such
experience where 1t was against all
reason. We'only had six days more
to serve.
I went aft and had an interview
with Lieut. Klapp; in which he agreed
to make out our discharges and final
statements, but he wanted to see us
after we had been up and got our
money from the Paymaster.
We were very sure we had seen ser-
vice enough for a while anyhow, and
this lest straw was enough. So that
by the time we had our final state-
ments cashed we went on board the
boat for Baltimore and the same even-
ing we bid farewell forever to Battery
M without observing the ceremony of
a farewell call on our worthy First
Lieutenant, who surely will excuse
this if it, by any chance, reaches his
eye. He isa.Captain in the 5th Art,

SCHOOL MUST KEEP.
NO MORE ELECTION HOLIDAYS, SAYS SUPT.
SCHAEFFER.
HARRISBURG. — Dr. Schaeffer, superinten-
dent of public instruction, has put his foot
squarely down upon the practice of closing
schoo!s on election days. Heis constantly
is receipt of comn.unications requesting an
opinion on the subject. These interroga-
tions are based on the act of May 23, 1893,
designating the third Tuesday of February
and the first Tuesday after the first Monday
of November as legal half holidays. Dr.
Schaeffer, ater quoting from the acts ref. r-
red to, says:
“The purposes mentioned in thisact have
special reference to the maturity of com-
mercial papei, the acceptance and pavment
of bank checks, drafts. promissory notes,
etc., as expressingly set forth in the act it-
self. Iam cleariv of the opirion that the
several boards of school airectors and con-*
troliers a- e not required toclose the public
schools in their respective districts on the
days designated as election days, but on the
contrary I would urge the directorsand con-
trollers to keep their schools in ses-ion on
these days ‘or the purpose of pre ening
too many breaks in the regular school
year.”

THE MARRIAGE LICENSE LAV,
TRE AMENDMENT DOES NOT GO I.TO EFFECT
* UNTIL OCTOBEB 1, 1895.
HarrisBurc—The State Department is
daily in receipt of inquiries from the clerks
of the courts of the several counties, as to
whether an error does not occur -in the
pamphlet laws of 1893 in the act of May I,
1893, amending the law relative to marriace
license so as to permit marriages to be per—
formed outside of the county in which the
license is granted.The law as printed makes
the law operative October 1, 1895, but many
clerks of courts think it a misprint. The
original bill, however, does not differ from
the law as printed.

scales, which fall rapidly away, thus
removing with them any particle of
dust or other foreign matter which
may have found entrance to the ear.

The Wonderful Pecos Valley.
“Talk about making a desert bloom
as the rose; why, southern New Mex:
ico can give pointers to all the writers
of ancient writ, and in the way ol
wonders it doesn't stand back for any
portion of the globe,” said C. B. Eddy,
of Eddy, New Mexico.
“Pecos Valley in the southern por-
tion of New Mexico,” continued Mr.
Eddy, ‘‘is 400 miles long and from ten
to forty miles wide, and less than a
anlf dozen years ago was a deserf
waste. But the outside world knows
out little of the mighty wonders that
man has performed there by utilizing
the products of nature. The Pecos
valley has the largest irrigatizn plant
on the western hemisphere. A com:
pany, capitalized for $8,000,000, went
into that desert and built 1460 miles
of main canals, each one being seventy
teet wide at the top and seven feel
deep. From these main channels
numerous smaller ones branch out over
the valley. The storage reservoirs for
this plant contain 12,000,000,000
zubic feet of water and one of
these lakes is thirteen miles long,
three miles wide and fifty feel
deep. More than 400,000 acres
acres are now irrigated, being twice
the amount of territory irrigated by
any other plant in the United States.
When the plant is extended 800,000
acres will have received irrigation.
Three years ago not more than 500
people could be found on 400 miles
square. but in the last two years be-
tween 7000 and 8000 people have set-
tled in the valley. And they are not
on the order of the average Oklahoma
boomer—our settlers are Northern
people and are thrifty and intelligent.
The town of Eddy has 3000inhabitants
and it enjoys electric lights and all
modern comforts, and has forty-six
miles of running ditches and shaded
streets. The climate is the finest in
the world. Where hot wastes of sani
made the eye glimmer three years
ago are now the finest appleand peach
orchards on the globe, and the valley
has the second largest vineyard in the
world. Lemons and oranges and
fruits of the citron family are not
raised on account of the frost. One
hundred miles of railrord have been
built in the valley and 400 more are
projected. Oh, I tell you, Pecos vul-
ey is a hummer.” —Chicago Herald.

American Males the Tallest.
The English professional classes, who
head the list as the tallest of adult
males, attain the average height of five
feet nine and one-quarter inches. Next
on the list comes the American males,
and a minute fraction behind them
come the English of all classes. Most
European Nations average for the adult
male five feet six inches, but the Aus-

short of this standard.—London Lan-
