BRIEF HISTORY OF 20TH U. S.
Orpjsnlxed by Order of President, May
, 4, 1861, and Made Up Wholly
of Volunteera.
In response to a request for a brief
history of the Twentieth U. S., the Na
tional Tribune makes tho following ro
Ply: Tho Twentieth U. 8. was organized
by order of the president, May 4, 1861,
as tho Second battalion of the Elov
cnth U. S. It remained part of the
Eleventh U. S. during tho war, and In
18CG was separated from that regl
inent and completed ns a separato
regiment. At tho tlmo of tho reor
ganization of tho Eleventh U. 3. Into
n tlireo-lmttnllon regiment, tho com
mander was Col. E. D. Koyes. It was
mmlo up wholly of volunteers and oin
cers appointed from civil llfo, the only
veteran ut Fort Independence, whero
It was organized, being Orderly Ser
geant Parr. Somo sergeants from tho
regular army wero detailed to get tho
men In shape, and who finally becamo
lieutenants. Tho Eleventh U. S. had
a very Important part In nil tho bat
tles of tho Army of the Potomac, nnd
at tho conclusion of the war was sta
tioned at Itlchmond, Va under tho lm
medluto command of Its major, Thom
as II. Nelll, brevet brigadier general.
Tho HrBt field officers of tho regiment
were Col. Frederick Steele, Lieut. Col.
'Louis 13. Watkins ami MnJ. Thomas II.
Nelll. Thesq were nil generals In the
.volunteer army. Tho captains had
also attained high rank during tho
,var, and included such men as (Jen.
A. S. Webb, Charles S. Russell,
Charles C. Pomeroy and John C.
Hates. Tho regiment remained In
.Richmond, patrolling the city and act
ing as police for the preservation of
order and property. In 18C7 It was
transferred to Baton Rouge, La., and
'then distributed to various posts in
that state, whero It remained for two
,years on reconstruction duty. Lieu
'tenant Colonel Watkins commanded
the regiment until his death, March
29, 18G8, and was succeded by Lieuten
ant Colonel George Sykes. In 1SG9 the
regiment was transferred to tho de
partment of Dakota, with headquar
ters at Fort Snelllng, Minn. It had a
troublous times In keeping tho Sioux In
order, nnd in 1877 was transferred to
tho department of Texas, with Colonel
Sykes establishing headquarters at
Fort Drown. Colonel Sykes died at
Fort Urown, February 8, 18S0, and
was succeeded by Col. Etwell S. tftls.
In 1881 tho regiment was transferred
to the department of tho Missouri,
with headquarters at Fort Leaven
worth. In 1885 tho regiment was re
turned to tho department of Dakota,
with headquarters at Ulsmarck. In
1891 company I, which had been dis
banded, was re-established as an In
dian company, and filled up with en
listments from tho Sioux, Gros Ven
tres and Assinlbolncs, This experi
ment proved unsuccessful, and tho In
dian company was eventually dis
charged. Tho regiment is now com
manded by Col. James A. Irons, Lieut.
Col Arthur C. Ducat and Majors Wil
liam V. nurnham, Richard C. Croxton
and Frank D. Webster.
Could He Tell?
A "high" private of tho 140th Pa.,
wounded at Chancellorsvllle, was
taken to Washington. Ono day, as
ho was becoming convalescent, a
whisper ran down tho long row of cots
that the president wns In the build
ing and would soon pass by. Instant
ly every boy In blue who was ablo
arose, stood erect, hands, to tho side,
ready to salute his commander-in-chief.
Tho Pcnnsylvanlan stood six feet
seven inches In his stockings.' Lin
coln was six feot four. As tho presi
dent approached this giant towering
abovo him, ho stopped in amazement,
and, costing his eyes from head to
foot and from foot to head, as if con
templating tho Immense dlstanco
from ono extremity to tho other, ho
stood for a moment speechless. At
length, extending his hand, ho ex
claimed: "Hello, comrade How do you
know when your feot get cold?"
And That Finished Him.
After Hunter's defeat at Lynchburg,
Va., and on our rotrent, we passed
through a Uttlo town nbout four miles
from Lynchburg. Ono of tho Thirty-fourth
Ohio boys, seeing a woman
otandlng In a doorway, swaggered
up to her and In a loud voice said:
"Madame, what is tho namo of
tnls city?"
Sho answered very politely: "Little
Lick."
"Well." said he, "how far Is it to
Big Lick?"
"If you had brains In proportion to
your Impudence, you would know
thnt you Just came from It," waB
her reply.
How He Reasoned.
During the excitement attending tho
failure of a sutler with' tho Army ot
the Potomac, who was being closed
out by tho sheriff, an Irishman who
had deposited his month's wages with
the sutler was asked why ho did not
draw out his money.
"Faith, an' I won't dhraw mo money
out at all, at all."
"Ar. don't yez know ho'll lose yer
money of yez don't dhraw it out?"
"Sliure, an' ain't ho better able to
lose it than I am?"

Now York. "Somo tlmo after the Ti
tanic went down I was possessed with
the Idea of going north in tho hope of
getting among the icebergs," writes
James 1). Corrington. "Thcro had
been no year in tho recollection of
men who go down to the sea In ships
when such n fleet of giant Icebergs
had been seen so far south. I wanted
to see them closo at hand those silent
messengers of tho land of eternal
enow and Ice, gray ghosts, embodi
ments of the spirit of tho north, that
drift in procession with the oaean cur
rents and ut tho wind's will, to Ho in

fascinated me.
"Their menace to navigation la al
ways a very real and constant one,
nnd hardly a ship that passed along
tho Newfoundland banks last year
but had a report of lco written In her
log. Tho greatest tragedy of tho bco,
tho loss oftho Titanic, would proba
bly not havo happened In a normal
year of Ice and It Is normal condi
tions that ships expect to meet and
for which they nro prepared.
"I left Now York on n summer day.
Tho tar on tho dock3 was soft from
tho scorching heat ,nnd even tho
breeze from the bay was hot. It was
tho beginning 'of ono of tho sizzling
spells of July. A few days later I yas
talking with tho officers of. tho ship
about the number of Icebergs they
had passed on their last trip and of
the ships that had gono north and
never been heard from, "caught and
chewed up In tho Ice."
"Thero was a distinct thrill In wak
ing In tho cold of early morning to a
vigorous hammering on my door and
the call of 'On deck, sir! Icebergs in
sight! ' Wo were nearlng Cape Race,
and away off to port, near shoro, thero
was a glistening mass of Ice that
stood cut with a distinctness against
tho black, rocky shores. We passed
soveral other smaller plcccB and ono

they loomed up on either sldo of tho
ship, all shapes and sizes,1 pfnnocled
towers that looked Ilka come great
marble cathedral glistening in tho
sun, Greek galleys, the head of a
great bearded Hon, every conceivable
shape, and form, modeled by the sun
and water. As wo passed near somo
of them we heard the sound of run
ning water, and could see tho grooves
of deep bluo cut by cascades of wa
ter mado by the melting snow nnd ice.
One giant berg looked a mile long and
a hundred feet high, a grent flat cake
of solid Ice, shaped Hko a big coun
try barn with a sloping roof enough
to supply Now York all summer.
Whero tho water had cut tho grooves
thcro wero cxqulslto tones of bluo and
green. Nearly all of tho bergs showed
projecting ledges under water, light
green In color. It was ono of those
ledges that was supposed to havo cut
Into tho vitals of tho Titanic.
"Now and then a crash was heard,
and a berg would begin to wabble and
sway Hko a drunken man Bometimes
to loso its balanco and topple over
Into tho sea with a nolso Hko the
crash of a big gun, causing n verita
ble tidal wave. Hero and thero near
tho shores a berg had gono aground,
sometimes making a difficult entranco
to some little harbor."
Favor Compulsory Compensation.
San FranclBco. Ono of tho most Im
portant questions touched upon at
tho sessions of tho Drotherhood of
Railway Trainmen was compulsory
compensation for Injuries sustained In
the course of duty. A majority of tho
delegates favor a federal act, and tho

in the hands of tho oxccutlvo commit

DIFFERENT TYPES OF HORSE
;
Men of Science Have Recently Taken
Up Study of Origin and to Differ
entiate Characteristics.
Horse breeding hns been followed
ns a trade ever slnco animals wero
first domesticated, but the study of
types litis only qulto recently been
taken up by men of sclunco with a
view of ascertaining tho origin of tho
species and to differentiate their
characteristics. Ah a result of this
study, based upon these anatomical
differences and variations which havo
resulted from wide geographical dis
tribution, anil which probably origin
ated In early geographical times, it
may bo accepted that thero are four
families or species of horses.
The first type In this classification
Is tho Celtic horse, found on tho west
const of Norway, known aa tho Fjord
The Prejevalsky Horse, Specimens of
Which Are Now Being Bred In the
New York Zoological Gardens.
horse in Iceland, Facroe, Uarra, and
other smnll Islands of the outer
Hebrides In northern Scotland, on
tho Shetland Isles, and In Conncmara
or northern Ireland. There has also
been found u closo kinship between
the Celtic horse und tho true Tarpan
horse of Russia.
The second type of horses Is the
Prejevalsky, found in a wild state on
ths steppes of central Asia. Thero
arc a fow of these in England on tho
cstnto of the duke of Bedford, , and
several specimens nro being bred in
tho New York zoological garaens.
Tho Prejevalsky horse Is of n rod
brown color with n light "menly"
nose, has a largo head in proportion
to his body, and Is "cat hamed," and
less .powerful than tho Celtic horso.
Somo writers have assumed that tho
Tarpan nnd tho Prejevalsky horses
belong to tho same family, but this
is not now accepted, on account of
their marked differences, tho most
conspicuous of which Is that tho
Prejevalsky has tho callosities on his
hind legs. In this family It usually
takes tho form of a narrow strip nnd
not drop-shaped as Is common with
other horses. Thero hnB been a sug
gestion that this little horso oaly
12 hands high, Is tho living ex
ample of tho original ancestor ot the
draft horses of Europe, but It seems
highly improbable, inasmuch as fossils
ot tho draft typo have been found
showing its great antiquity, and I am

moro Inclined to believe that those big
types aro a speclos by. themselves and
shall call this family tho third typo.
This horso Is known to science as the
Forest horse, becauso ho originally ob
tained his food by browsing on shrubs
and low trees.
Tho Arab or African horse forms
tho fourth type in our classification
His food is the grasses thai grow on
the ground, and his homo has always
been the open plains and hillsides re
mote from forests. Therefore his head
Is articulated on his cervical vertebra
at an obtuso angle, thus forming
"Hogarth's lino of beauty." This sot
of the head has long been recognized
by breeders as a constituent element
of beauty. II. K. Bush-Brown, In
American Breeder's Magazine.
Raise More Live Stock.
An exchungo points out that our
farmers should raise more Ilvo stock
ir they expect to keep up tho fertility
of their soils. In Germany thero Is
one head of llvo stock for each 3.C
acres of land; In Denmark one for
4 acres; in Franco one for 4.3 acres;
In England one for C.3 acres, but In
tho United States It takes 12.1 acres
to support ono head of llvo stock. If
wo nro to keep down tho cost of liv
ing wo must keep more live stock per
aero and farm our lands better.

BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Nationality of Diners Is Shown In
Their Various Method of
Eating.
Sherlock Holmes might hnve figured
this out, but he did not!
Tho average Englishman will al
was demand his egg boiled Just
threo minutes, then he places It In an
'KK cup, JuBt large enough to havo
tho egg lit it, taps tho .op of the
Blii'll, and removes the broken shell
with hlB fingers. The egg Is eaten n
spoonful at n tlmo.
A Frenchman, much like the Eng
lishman, llkeH his eggs of three min
utes, exnctly. Ho then "peels'-them,
places them In a glutts. ttlrs and
mixes well together with snlt, pepper
and butter. Ho makes a practice of
dipping bread Into the mixture, und
intlng It along with the eggs.
A Spaniard wouhln'l think of letting
his egg hull miTrii than one minute.
Ho then breaks It, and lets the eon
tents run Into a glass, and consumes
It as If ho wero drinking a glass of
ul no.
An egg Is only lit In an Italian's
estimation when It has been placed
In cold water, and removed' Just as
tho water beings to boll. Hu then
bienkti It, pours It on a plate, nnd
proceeds to sop It up with bread.
Tho German, like the Italian, de
mands his eggs ns near the liquid
state as possible. Ho breaks Ills eggB
In an unsightly cup, and scoops tho
liquid out na If it wero soup.
Tho American Is about the only one
who prefers his eggs hulled hard.
When they are served up to him, he
knifes them in half, removes the con
tents Into a ghiHH, atter which he
adds n plentiful supply of pepper, but
ter and salt. He then miners tho
iggs line, mixing them well with the
hldcen, and eats them with Ills toast.
ITCHING AND BURNING
Iberia, Mo. "I was troubled with
scalp cczoma for nbout live years nnd
tried everything 1 heard of, but nil of
no avail. Tho doctors told mo I would
havo to havo my head shaved. Being
a woman, I hated the Idea of that. I
was told by n friend that tho Cutlrura
Remedies would do mo good. This
spring I purchnsed two boxes of Cutl
cura Ointment nnd ono enko at Cuti
cura Soap. After using ono box of
Cutlcura Ointment I considered tho
cure permanent, but continued to uso
it to mako suro und used nbout ono
half tho other box. Now I nm entirety
well. I also ubed tho Cutlcura Soap.
"Tho disease began on tho back of
my head, taking tho form of a ring
worm, only moro severe, rising to a
thick, rough Benlo that would como off
when soaked with oil or warm water,
bringing a fow hairs each tlmo, hut in
a fow dayB would form again, larger
each time, and spreading until the en
tire back of tho head was covered with
tho scale. This was accompanied by
a tcrrlblo itching nnd burning sensa

Catching Files Pays Well.
Catching flies Is affording a Shreve
port (La.) man a profitable and inde
pendent living. He sells them to tho
city board ot health. His namo is
Bartsch, und his not revenue from tho
fly Industry for tho first two days of a
recent week was 121.20. When tho
health board begun offering premiums
for tho flics, dead or alive, Hartsch
purchnsed nbout 100 traps and placed
them in fly-ridden sections ot tho city.
Then ho began making Inroads on-the
health board's exchequer, and so well
did ho operato that ho boro the market
price down from CO cents to 20 cents a
quart, for It Is by that measure that
the board purchases. Bartsch Is still
working, nnd ho will work as long ns1
tho treasury holds out. Ho finds fly
catching pays.
Droken Heart Caused Death.
A broken heart, caused by vlolont
beating duo to sudden omotlon, was
said by a doctor to bo responsible for
the death of Alexander Durness, sixty-four,
a master tailor, at a Ixindon
Inquest. Durness fell nnd died during
an altercation with a foreman cutter
as to the ownership of cortaln articles
which ho was about to remove from
his former premises to now ones.
Ambiguous.
"That actor has such finish In his
work."
"Well, I'd like to see his finish."
Tho man who doponds entirely on
the push of those who aro back of him
will seldom get to tho front.
Save the Babies.
INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. Wo can hardly naliM that
of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent,
or nearly one-quarter', dlo beforo they reach one year; thirty-seven
per oent., or more than one-third, beforo they aro Ave, and one-half before
they are fifteen I
We do not heeltato to say that a timely uso of Costoria would save a
majority of theso precious lives. Neither do wo hesitate to my that many
of these infantile deaths aro occasioned by tho use of narcotlo preparations.
Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain
more or lees opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities,
deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead
to congestions, sickness, death. Costoria operates exactlv tho reverse, but
you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Hetcher. Custoria

twenty-five) no vehicles of any kind
