President Cleveland hns selected Col
onel William P. Carlin of the Fourth in
fantry for the vacancy in the rank of
brigadier general which has existed
Binco March last.
The Illinois delegation , with the as
sistance of General Soholicld , knocked
down the plum for General Carlin. His
appointment is made purely as a reward
for past services. IIo will retire in No
vember next , and there is no expectation
that ho will enter actively upon the com
mand of u department in the mcnntino.
s / , General Carlin is the only ollicor on the
active list below the grade of brigadier
general who commanded an army corps
during tlio war. His appointment is a
victory for seniority and also for the
volunteer ofiicer.
How Grant Itovnrdcd Ills Soldier * .
Said a correspondent In the Grand
Army Gazette : I recently met a man
called Soldier Sam , an honest fellow ,
and ono of tho-truo-bluo bjys of the late
war. Ho had served under General
Grant and could tell reminiscences of
the great general by the hour. The
best of it wns that bin stories were
always authentic. I remember , said ho ,
that while wo were down on the Miss
issippi a big barge , loaded with b3mbg
and gunpowder , was lying1 alongside the
wharf. Grant had given orders that
no ono should smoke on bpard of that
barge. I Fitppoho the old -tub had thou
sands of dollars worth of powder under
her decks. So the corporal set n , guard
j there and ordered him to shoot the first
ii % man who should cross the plunk with a
j ? lighted pipe or cigar. Well , when the
order got abroad wo kept away , for wo
know that the order meant business.
Ono day when I was off duty General
Grunt rode up on his horse. Ho were a
big blouse and a slouch hat. Ho had on
star , nor side arms. Wo all knew him
without the aid of trinkets.
, u "Is that the powder boat ? " ho asked.
Jf- I told him it was.
* ' * Ho looked at mo sharply over a rod-
hot cigar und said :
"I'll ' go on hoard then. "
I knew he'd never take that cigar out
of liis month except to oat or sleep , so I
said :
"General , if you walk across the planli
smoking the sentry will shoot you. "
Ho saw I was in earnest , but said :
"Don't ' you suppose ho knows mo ? "
"Of course ho" docs , general , " I m
plied ; "but lie has been ordered to shoot
the first man caught smoking on thai
barge , and ho'll do it. Tlmfs just the
kind of chap ho is. "
Grant looked rather amused. I reckon
ho never intended to go near the ok :
bargo. Ho just wheeled his horse aboul
IJ ' and away ho wont.
* " That evening I told the sentry al
about the talk. Tlio next morning he
and the corporal were ordered up to the
general's ' headquarters. The sentry was
a colored man , but when ho heard tha
Grant wanted to HOC him ho was rathoi
white. Ho went up.
"Can you read ? " asked Grunt.
"No , sah : I nobbor had no chance t <
I'a'n. ' "
"Do you always know mo when yoi

"Yes , sab. "
"Suppose I had gone on board thn

would you have done ? "
"Shot you , sah. "
" 13ut I'm your general , " exolaimoi
Grant.
"Yes , sah ; and wo jes1 obeys yo1 orders
dors , " said the sentry.
Grant looked the men all over. Th
corporal was trembling and the sontr ;
If was actually pale ; both were ns firm a
i < > rocks. At last the general relaxed.

The ordnance department of the army
is making preparations to begin the
manufacture of the now army rillo at
the Sprlngfiold armory immediately
after the beginning of the now fiscal
year. The rlllo Is of very small callbnr ,
intended to use smokeless puwnor and is
a magazine arm. It is estimated within
ono year from .Tuly next the total output
of the armory will bo about 12,000 rillcs ,
which is made possible by the use of
most modern labor-saving machinery.
This number of rllles will probably
Biiiilce to arm the entire infantry nnd
artillery branches. The carbine for
cavalry use has not yet boon designed ,
but will bo pushed forward as rapidly as
possible. It is expected at the ordnance
department that there will bo many
calls for the new arm from the state
mllltla organizations. Those demands
will bo mot as fast us the army equip
mcnt is complete.
A Jnko on tlio Gonornl.
After whipping Hood and Forrest at
Nashville and chasing them out of Ten
nessee , says the Sunday Republic ,
Thomas embarked his army at Clifton ,
going up the Tennessee river , arriving
at Eastport , Miss. , where the Sixteenth
corps stopped , and the other portions of
the army wont on across the country to
form a junction with Sherman in Geor
gia. Tlioso that wont took all of the
rations with them , although General
Smith pleaded for part of them for his
men. Still ho had to submit and Bond
for moro rations , and wo subsisted
on shelled corn for ten days.
Some of the officers did not like
it , nnd ono. n captain in our regiment ,
the Fifth Minnesota infantry , got cue ol
his men to piny a joke on the general.
Accordingly he got a largo piece of inulo
rope , such as they tie from tree to tree
to hitch mules to feed them , tied it
around the private soldier's neck , and
providing himself with a club about
thrco-or four feet long , he went leading
the man up past General Smith's hoad-
quarto'rs. The general happening to bo
out on the porch , called out : "Captain ,
what are you going to do with that
man ? " The captain stopped suddenly ,
and after raising his hat and giving the
proper salute , replied : "General , ho
has had his hay and corn , and I thought
1 would lead him to water. " The gen
eral turned and walked into his quarters
without asking any more questions.
llitppy with Corns.
"I have in my pocket a document
which shows the size of the corns on
which a pension was granted by Assist
ant Secretary Bussey , after the pension
office physician had declared that thov
did not constitute disability. "
It was Congressman John Tarsney of
Missouri who said this to the reporter of
the Now York Times.
The man who had the corns is James
, T. Hamlin , who sprvod in company C ,
Eighty-sixth Illinois volunteers. His
"disabilities" as given in the transcript
of his case were two ; one , insignificant
annoyance from hommorrhoids , and the
other corns.
This case was passed on by Dr. Allo-
gor , and the memorandum on the papers
in the case was this : "Rejected on
ground of 'no ' disability , ' by Dr. Allcger ,
and appealed to the assistant secretary
of the interior. "
Assistant Secretary Bussoy reversed
the doctor's decision , and the following
memorandum was written : "From the
above description I am of the opinion
that a ratable degree of disability exists
under the act of Juno 27 , 1890. Cyrus
Bussoy. "
So the pension was granted for the
corns.
What n Saber Cut Is Liko.
"I hardly know how it feels to bo shot ,
but I well realize how it feels to bo cut , "

Lindoll. "I enlisted in a cavalry rogi-

Adam Smith , who wns a citizen of this
consular district , nnd whoso great ork on
the wealth of nations has , porhi. . nioro
than any other cause , Itilluoncod commercial
legislation both In this country ntul In other
lands , used no uncertain language on the
value of public roads ; is onn of thu primary
necessities of civilized llfo and national pros-
purity. Splendid roads hail boon constructed
centuries before his tlmo. Tholr continued
existence lfiOO years alter tholr construc
tion proved the skill nnd care of the master
minds who planned nnd built them. Hut they
were constructed hi the interest of war.
Heads had to bo built to movn armies for con
quest. Heads then bcc. mo essential to hold
the conquered countries. In these ccnnncrco
hnd no elonicnt or consideration. Indeed , it
Is not dlillcult to sco that tmbllc roadways
becanio thus tlio terror of nations. Even in
this ocean-surrounded Island , far from Im
perial Home , the roads of the Ctusars en
tered and so torrurlrcd thn public mind that
It was not until lone after the middle of the
eighteenth century that turnpikes wcro llrst
authorized , and wcro oven then inaugurated
against the vigorous protests and prejudices
ot the common pcoplo. It seems strange also
to know that to the Carthagunlaiis , u people
living on the northern co.tst of "Darkest
Africa , " must bo given the credit of llrst
inaugurating the nubile road as the necessity
of commerce.
Down to the middle of the clghteenthiccn-
tury the roads of Scotland wcro of the
poorest character. Goods convoyed from
place to place , where tlio distances wcro not
great , wcro conveyed on horseback. Oat
meal , coal , turf and oven straw nnd hay
were thus convoyed. This was the era of
"cadgers. " They supplied the country with
salt , llsli , eggs and poultry. For longer
routes carts wuro used. Through this
very region to go a distance of tbirty-oight
miles and return required fourteen
days. It took fourteen days , in IS".1) ) , to go
from hero to London. Considering how
old is the supposed civilization of
this great country , ono Is surprised to road
of ono of its chief routes of travel as follows :
"I know not how to describe this infernal
road. Let mo most seriously caution all
travelers who may accidentally propose to
travel this terrible country to avoid It as
they would the devil. I passed three carts
broken down Inside ot eighteen miles of exe
crable memory. "
This is stated to show that roadmaking
oven hero is not nn ancient science. Tno
first turnplpo roads in Scotland wcro con
structed in 1700,1'.ud against Ilio violent re
sistance and prejudices of the people , who
regarded roa'ds as aid to plunder. Except
only the remains of the Roman road , the
improved roads of the country are of com
paratively recent origin , but are now con
structed with the utmost care and main
tained with scrupulous fidelity.
Itu ids in nun lU'yoml Vila ,
The earliest stone roads built through nnd
northward of this district wcro constructed
by Abcrcromby , an cugineor of some note ,
whoso chief formula consisted of the follow
ing rules :
1. Xovcr make n road ascend a single foot
unless absolutely unavoidable.
" . Economy in maintenance depends on an
easy gradient.
8. Hilly roads arc full of danger , expensive
to maintain and destructive to horses.
The great Highland roads were constructed
with great care and skill and wcro adapted
to the country through which they passed.
Although traversing wild mountain ranges ,
easy gradients were everywhere secured
and are unexcelled.
Macatliini Iloml nml Stonm Ilnllor.
Two men of quite recent date were largely
instrumental in the introduction of a t-'cn-
eral system , which ii still maintained in its
essential features. In 1810 Macadam elab
orated his plan of roadmaking and pre
sented It to the British Parliament. Upon
its general plan a vast extension of the ma
cadam road Immediately followed.
Perhaps the most important auxiliary to
gtfod roadmaking , and by many engineers
deemed absolutely essential , was supplied
by M. Polouccau in 18111 , by the introduction
of the steam roller. Excepting a very de
cided variance of opinion on the comparative
advantages of soft and hard foundations , the
macadam road is the concrally accepted
uoad of the country for country roads , and
has stood the test of long and varied experi
ence.
KoslUunco to Traction.
A few years ago roadmaking science ex
pressed itself as follows as to traction :
1. Resistance is directly proportional to
the load and inversely to the diameter of the
wheel.
U. Upon a paved road the resistance is in
dependent of the width of the tire when it
exceeds three to four Inches.
3. At a walking pace the resistance is the
same to carriages with or without springs ,
but increases on the macadam roads with
the velocity , and less as the road is smooth
and the carriage less rigid.
4. On soft roads or freshly graveled roads
the resistance to traction js independent ol
velocity.
f > . The destruction of roads Increases with
reduced wheel diameter and iu carriages
without springs.
GnicllonU.
The stooncst gradient , according to one
authority , that can bo properly allowed or
roads with a broken-stouo covering is about
ono in twenty , as this , from experience
according to the same authority , is found Ube
bo about the angle of repose upon roads ol
this character iu the state in which they an
usually kept. Engineers of eminence insist
however , and with apparent justice , on i
much lowcrgrado. Sir John Macuell asserts
as a fact not generally kuown , thai
"if a road has no greater inclination :
than ono in forty there is twenty pei
cent loss cost for maintenance than where
the Inclination of the road is ono to twenty
The additional cost is duo not only to the
greater injury by the action of horses' feel
on the s'tceper gradient but also to tin
greater fatigue of the road by the moro fra
qucnt necessity for sledging or braking th <
wheels in descent. "
The same authority adds : "Expcrlcnci
teaches that on broken-stone roads in per
feet condition the reaistenco to traction is o
the gross weight of forty-ilvo pounds pel
ton , for which the angle of ropcso is fifty
ny Thu traction force required is just doubl
y that which is requjrod ou a level , '
, f I'oumlatloiiB ,
S Mr. Macadam maintained that a soft nm
Sa yielding foundation for a road is better thai
i- ono that is lirni and unyielding. Ho arguei
iif that a road on a soft foundatioi
being moro yielding and cluatio the matei
mis of which the covering of the road wa
formed would be less likely to bo crushei
and worn away by the passage of u hoav ;
trafllo than ou a hard solid.
This theory of toad foundation is stil
held by some , but rejosted by the majority
Experience seems to have proved that thor
is no moro general cause of bad roads thai
soft foundations. A tlrni , solid and dry sub
stratum is necessary for the road material
to rest upon. The outer surface of the road
it Is urged , should bo regarded merely as ;
covering to protect the actual working roai
boneatu , which should bo sufllclontly 11 rt
and substantial to support the whole of th
trafllo to be carried over it. The lower o
subroad , properly provided for and th
upper covering renewed from tlmo to time
should last forever. The following or
directions now generally in force :
Where the expenditure is limited and th
tratllo moderate every care should bo take
to make the roadbed us solid as possible. I
tno ground is wet , deep ditches should b
cut ou each tide , and cross underdrain
should be formed ,
Whore the ground Is very loft a layer o
faggots or brushwood from four to six [ ache
thick should be laid over the surface of th
ground to receive the road materials.Vher
the ground has been recently deposited th
surface should be rolled or boa to u to ronde
at solid as possible.
Macadam's theory of the advantage of sol
foundations , especially when made to
to roads llkoly to brin n ho.ivv traffic , tcoms
now very gcnorall JllJicaritcu.
The Muc.Vtiun Theory.
In 1910 Macadam nuUn practice his system
of roadmaldntr , which ts eminently worthy
of restatement In this ( ncc.ilry. HIi principle
was "to put broken stono" upon a road which
shall unite by Its own angles > o as to form n
solid , hard surface , " ' When this material Is
thus laid upon the roSd It must remain iitl
the situation in which it Is placed without
ever bolus moved gtiiib , whereas gravel , before -
fore It becomes useful , tatist move Its situa
tion and bo In constantmotion. . " The prin
ciple was "to substltuto small , angular
stones , such as resulted from the breakage
of larger stoucs , for , rounded stones , so as to
form a sort of mosaic or interlocking sys
tem. " ' *
This system , .which experience has
thoroughly tested anil approved ; the
provision ot solid foundations , which
seems to bo proved of the first
Importance ; and the use of the steam roller
Insccurlng thorough Impact , are the three
vital elements of the successful modern
road.
On these three principles of roail building
the following roads have boon extended
within a comparatively short period :

Convexity ot Itumls.
Macadam trave the following testimony
before a committee of the House of Commons ,
and which is practically the Judgment of the
most experienced road builders :
' I consider that u road should bo as flat as
possible with regard to the water llowlng
off , because a carriage ought always to stanu
upright. I have generally made roads three
Inches higher in the center than ut the
sides , and on this slope the water will easily
escape. When the road Is made ilut pcoplo
will not follow tha middle of It as they do
when extremely convex. Moro water will
stand on a very convex road than on a flat ,
because all carriages seek an upright posi
tion in the center , and the wear there will ,
of course , bo greater. The most useful In
clination Is in the direction of a road's '
length.innd engineers glvo preference to a
moderately inclined road over ono rigidly
.level. To sccura nn equal distribution of
service every part of u road should bo
equally hard and good to prevent unequal
wear. "

CHICAGO , Juno 17. Tlio corn market broke
down today and the drop was not so sharp as
was the advance of Friday. There was , however -
over , a reduction of about Ic nliiii The Trench
Inly question wns more clearly understood.
There wore numerous dispatches saying thn
action was only on hay , with no prospect of
other removals. It was established by past
records that Franco only takes from 5,000-
000 bu. to 25,000,000 , bu. on the outside
of corn on the average and that the
question of free ndrnUMon ot course
grains was not so very Important to American
grain merchants after nil. Tlioro was , of
course , general Rolling out of corn by those
who bounht on the scare yesterday. The sen
timent at the start was castor and dr.-it trades
wcro anywhere from ' { c to ic under tlio final
flunrcsof yesterday and after ruling steady
for uwhllo , continued lo grow weaker , suiting
olT Uc moro. Later the price rallied a trtlta ,
ruled fairly steady but ut the close had lost
from iiic.
There was only a Unlit trade In wheat today
nnd an caster feeling existed. The opening
was easier and llrst sales were from nbout the

Tlioro was sotno business In the way of

may lljfiiro out a shortage In tha urcmrctivo
marxutalilo supply of cattle , but expei-li'iico
nml.ptcsetit Indications at this point hardly
warrant such conclusions. At both
Omaha and Kaim'is City receipts of
cattle show an Increase over last year
\\lillo the dccreacn at Chicago lias only been
significant as Indicating the \M-stward ten-
clonoy of tlio big dressed beef establishments.
At any rule , miring tlio past week receipts
have exceeded tlio absolute leqillremenls of
the tnulo by a few thonuaml head , nnd
In the present nervous and unsettled
condition of the maiket values Imvo
ttiken n big tumble nnd thn feeling on
all sides lias boon decidedly weak. The ten
Uency of prices hns been lower from the mien-
Ing of tno weuk. Onlng to Ilio continued
dllllcull v In making collections and securing
loans tno dressi-il beef men are restrict
ing their purchases to tlm smallest poss.hlu
limits while the .sumo circumstance op _ > r" < cs
asan Inccnttxe to stock raisers to send n 'id
rcallro asMionns possible ou nil avnllanlo
.stock. Demoralization Iris IKHMI t'ic natural
and Inevitable result , and prices for beef
teer have declined any where from 25c to 35c
during the week.
The week closes with a very air run , nearly
100 cars although eight of these were To\nns
bought at Kansas City by Uiidaby for. canning
purposes and another string of fourteen cars
of good heavy cattle were practi
cally not offered for sale. There
weru more olTered , however , than
were wanted and business was ( in
tliu dull and drugging order thtoughont.
Dressed beef men had to ha\o a few good light
ratlin nml for tin-so they paid very nunily
steady prices , $4.20 to $4.50 for good to choice
1,000 to 1,200-11) . steers. The heavy grades were
In very poor demand and all of a dime
lower than Krldiy , with sales ot poor to
choice 1,216 to 1,494-lb. beeves ut fiom $1.20
to $4.G5 nnd the same was line of thu fair to
Door light stuir and odds and ends that Mild all
the way fiom J4.15 down to $3.50. The mar
ket was very uuoveil ami no two dealers en
tirely ngrecd as to the condition of the trade
althuusli all were quoting prices 25clo35c
lower than the close of last week.
The same state of alTalis existed In the cow
market. Itecelpts , nhllo not heavy , not over
300 bead , worn moro than ample for actual
necessities , and prices averaged fully a dime
lower all around , and from 40c to 75c loucr
than a week airo. Good fut cows and liulfers
sold at from $3.35 to $3.75 , with fulr lo good
butchers' cows ut from $2.40 to $3.30 , and com
mon aiil | canning grades nt from $1.70 to $2,30.
A few calves were olTurod and readily sold at
ft oin $3.50 to $5 for fair to good veals. Hough
stock wits weak and lower with common to
very good hulls , oxen and htugs bulling ut from
$2.25 to $3.75.
The feeder trade was merely nominal , In
fact It has heen In this condition about nil
week. Itecelpts were light and a fuw sales of
ImlllTerLMit to very good feeders weio made at
from 53.25 to $3.b ( ) . Tight money Is felt In
this branch of the business and prices uro lOc
to 20o lower than a week ago with hardly
enough trading going ou to establish quota
tions.
HOGS Although the week's receipts show up
about 33 percent lighter than a year ago. and
the supply so far this month eompaieil with a
year ago shown u falling olfof 53,000 hogs , the
offerings are still too liberal on account of the
very limited demand and prices
hive : been on the down grade
all week. The Iliianclal stringency
Is the main and for that matter almost the
only bearish feature In the bllu'itlon.
Puckers'stacks nf provisions "ru lower than
for yours past , the packing in the west from
March 1 to Juno 14 compared with a yeur ago
o.xhihltH u dccro.iso of approximately Uo5- '
000 hogs , and all indications point
3o a continued shortage In 'supplies. ' Still , on
account of tlio present light demand for
product and thu Inability of packers to bor
row money they are compelled to take only
whut they cjin handle and as : i result prices
have to go down. A feuturn of thu trade
the past week has been the free buying
hy shippers. Of the 30,700 hogs received 13-
000 were taken by outsiders or over 40 per
cent. The best demand at mescnt from all
clashes ciC buyers U for goo : ! light and medium
weight hogs , tlio packing grades being dis
criminated against every wlit-iu.
Kecelpts today were imalu liberal. This
maiket was lee high Krlilay computed with
other places , 15c to 2.r > c higher than Kansas
C'lty for Instance , ami while other maiUots
were stronger everywhere else today , buyers
evened up matters by taking oil' 5c to lUc here.
Tlio result was a very peculiar market. On
the early market ft was $0 for every
thing , good , bad and Indlirorcnt , but
later the market llrmed up a llttlo ami a few
hogs sold at $0,05 and $0.10 , or about Friday's
closing prices. Hough and mixed packers sold
as low .MS 45.1)5 ) nnd prime butcher weights as
high as $0.15. Hitsliiesi was fairly active fiom
the opening to the clo > o and by tlio middle of
thn forenoon the pens were empty. N'curlv

are now 40c lower than a week ngofr2.25 lower
