A SKETCH OF ARMY LIFE ,

of Aollvo Hcrvlco.
Mickey Keynolds was a natty llttlo soldier ,
says a writer In the Now York Times. The
accntof the bandbox hung around him In
camp and In garrison , liven on long muruhot
the dust never clung to his shoes and IcggHs
in the hateful wav It diet to oun ; thcro was
that air of neat distinction about him oven
then. Take him in the post , on parade or
review , thorn was not an ofllccr In the com.
mnnd could get himself up In so Immnculnto
a matitK-r as Mickey. Ills whlto facings
were pipe-clayed to a painful dcgrco of clean-
llnois , Uts collar fairly glistened , and each
hit of polished brass or steel about him ro-
lloctod n sun of marvelous brilliancy.
Mickey was a musician , not by marked
natural picdlloetlon , but In that strict mili
tary classitlcatlon thaldcnoininatei one blue-
bloused public servitor a "private" and
another , nn obstreperous wcaier of chevrons ,
an "oi-doily sorffoant. " Ilcuas u musician ,
also , from foico of circumstances. Ho had
tlrst presented himself at regimental hcad-
ciuaitors , a slip of a boy of fourteen and had
begged to bo enlisted. Of course ho could
not perfoun the duties of a private soldier ,
and the enlistment ot minors was out of the
question altogether unless the consent of
p.uents or guardian was obtained. But
Mlckoy was persistent and his blight faeo
so won upon thogiouty old co'onul ' thut " 1'cg
Leg'1 himself as ho was Irreverently spoken
of by ccitain lubaltcrns stumped painfully
to the cabin that Mlckoy pointed out as
homo and Interviewed his mother on the sub
ject.
ject."Inllst , Is III" sala'sho with a tine , scorn
ful intonation , "t'ulx , ye hev mo permhsion ,
an'much good may K do ye. I'm taut plnd
to Do rid o' the biat I'd pay ye fur inblti him
away , I wild. "
As MIcuoy had never known the double
woo of two parents to boat him , the matter
was thus dcnnitoly settled , and ho became a
regularly enlisted member ot the loglmout.
Ills Jirst military duty was under the su
pervision of a guy/led veteran , who taught
him to drum. This was in accord with his
conviction that the army was intended to af
ford unlimited opportunities for noise and
bluster , and ho was soon able to produce
more of nn effect than any other drummer in
the regiment. Ho handled the sticks with
an enthusiasm bom of love for thu duty ,
and he assailed the unoffending sheepskin as
ttiough It woio his most malignant , enemy.
Ho next essayed the life , and hero
achieved another notable tilumph. When ho
puckeicd and blow , the other filers remained
silent and lot him cairy off the honors. And
bearing his piercing blasts , old Peg Log
would chucltlo softly and say to some visiting
ontcor :
"Do you notice that tiim little liferl
Got lungs 01 brass , I do believe. Hasn't
boon In the service six months and I'll Luck
him against any musician in thoaimv. En
listed him in ) self nt Nashvllto und got a
pri/o. He , hoi That's the way with the
whole regiment , you know not a blank in
It. "
Fiom Mlckovs' oiio-sldcd parentage and
the nttiudo maintained towuid him by hl- >
slnglo known progenitor , It may well bo sup
posed that his scholastic attainments \\uio
limited. And so they weio. Ho had ao-
qulicd addition , likewise suutraction. hut in
the process tils sense of tuum had been dulled
while mourn was abuotninlly developed.
Further than this , his education had not pro
gressed.
Wlthhlsoxtravagant taste for the pomp
and circumstance of the military calling , it
was not strange that the gay national colors ,
berne by the stalwait color bergoaat , should
taVo his eye , and it was not long before ho
asked his Instructor on the drum "What the
lottorin' on tlio Han might bo. "
" 1 hem's ' names of battles , mo boy , " said
the sergeant.
"What battles } "
"Battles the regiment shared in. "
"This regiment I"
"Nono other. "
"And was vou Iheroi"
"I was. "
The sergeant was forthwith duly wor
shipped by Mlckoy , and so it caino about
that Chuncellorsvillo was the llrst word ho
Icnincdio iccognUo , but nofoio long ho bad
committed the list to memory.
"That was grand 1" ho would oxelalm , as
the circle o' soldiers sat around the barrack
porch smoking before taitoo "Chancellors-
vlllo North Anna Cold Harbor 1'eteis-
hurg and all of tlioni. I wish I had boon
there I O. I wish I hud been ihciol"
The grilled veterans , recognl/ing in him a
recurrence of their own jouthtul ardor ,
would nod knowingly at , each other behind
the clouds of tobacco smoke , and eaoh would
turn a kindly , almost fatherly eye on
Mlckoy. Ho was the pet of the entire regi
ment.
Thou came the abolition of the llfo und
drum and the introduction of the bugle. Tnis
necessitated a now application of Mickey's
energies and ho made lair programs , out ho
never achieved f.uno as In his caillor en
deavors. Ho fioiiuuntly complained that
while ho had an "elegant lip" for tlio life
and could "tonuuo it tilpplngly , " the bugio
never llttod his mouth. Tlio smait tap
of the drum and the shrill shriek
of the life wore to him the standard for nuir-
tial music , and no accordingly introduced n
variety of corresponding staccato notes on
thu bifgla that rondarod some of the calls
well-null nninlelllgiblo. His "counter
march" and "cease ilrlng" alwavs brought
confusion In the battalion , and "taps" lio-
caino a rollicking quickstep when Mlckoy
was on duty as oidorlv.
Nor was Mickey's fnvoiitlsm confined to
banacks. Thu quarters of married soldiers
always welcomed him , and ho was at homo
In ovcrv family. And on the line of the olU-
cer's kitchens , too , was ho n prime fuvorlie.
Many a soup was scorched uml many an
Abigail neglected her swooping thiough
chatting ever the baekyuid wall with curly
haded MIckuy tbo musician.
It so hapuuned that after two terms of scr-
vlco Mickey found himself in "A" company ,
noted forits high standard of discipline. This
was good for Mlckoy , for John Baileycom
had already untoiod into contll't , with him ,
and often had the musician succumbed to his
ullmements und , lu accordance with mllliaiy
usngo , forthwith hud ubodo In the guurd-
housj and done garrison police dutv fur days
at a tune. It did no manner of good to line
Mickey for tils lapses ; ho would got us drunken
on an empty pocket as a full one , for there
was no barkeeper in the llttlo frontier town
who did not look upon him as u diawlug card.
Slilct confinement and thu vigilant eye of u
sentry appealed to bo the only method of
rumudv , und this was productive of but sp.is-
iiiodlo reform.
About this tlmo an event occurred that srt
the whole giirrUon tnlking. It was one of
these infrequent upheavals that do sometimes
strlko an Infantry regiment n promotion.
Mr.'Ulnko , who had served n round score of
yours with a llrst lieutenant's stiouldorstrups
and n colonel's Uio vet , was uluvated to thu
rank of captain and took command of "A"
company , and with his wifu , his son , his
daughter and n couple ot rosy maids , appear
ed i.t thu post forthwith.
U'hllu Captain Blake was a * Just man ana
thoughtful for his soldiers , hu was not a dU-
clpllnurinn. Ho knew ho hud a peed coin-
pan } and ho wanted to keep Itus It then was ,
the standard for the regiment. Ho did not
care so much about the ability of his men to
hit the bull's-uyo ten limes running at itnu
yards , bo was not very onthuslastlo on com
pany drill long jeuwof it had sho.vn its
real value ; but ho was proud to say that
fewer men wore court-martialed out of his
company than any other In tbo regiment , erIn
In the military department , for that matter.
Ho would talk to his men and by moral sua
sion strive to keep them up to the standard.
Unfortunately , the soldiers did not under
stand this method and mistook forbearance
for Indecision. Ihoy all liked him they
swore by him ana leferrod with pride to tha
captain's record but they expected no pun
ishment for petting drunk , and accordingly
drunk they becaimi. This state of alTulrs
was soon noised about lu the regiment , and
every graceless scalawag whoso enlistment
lu some other company had ox pi rod applied
to Cai'tuiuBluku ' fur rc-oullstuicut , 'i'huir
appeals , backed fyy .apparently honest Inten
tions of correct soldierly deportment , wore
scMdom taken lv.iln ( , and soon "A"
company presentpij nn nppearanru far from
that it had possws J , under its fortnor com-
mnnder.
Unutnin Blake then commenced to "put the
screws on. " as Mtekoy said , nnd on divers oc
casions Mlokoy was the subject of this opera
tion , and was nnccrdinonlcuily landed In the
guard liouso , StlH , ho ixmnnsod powerful In-
lluoncu In Captain Blako'ti housnhold , being
well regarded by .Mary . , the rosy housemaid.
In fact it was generally admitted that Mlckoy
nnd Mary were "Keeping company , " a state
ment berne out by Mlckny'1 ! frequent calls at
the back door of tha captain's quarters. And
by loino occult bond of sympathy or under
standing Mickey would not bo long under
charge of the guard before Mary would np-
pear before her mistress dimpling with sub-
scrvlonco and nervously twisting her apron
string.
"Well , Mary , what Is ill"
"I'lei.30 , nia'iim ' , it's Mlckoy. That boy "
"Yes I" oncourunlngly.
' llo'ii In the guardhouse again. "
"Why , what lias ho been doing ! "
"Kcally , ma'am , I don't ' think helms bcon
doing anything nt all. It's that Surirunnt
Urutntn , In my opinion ; the Germans Is Jeal

und he's got n splto against MIckuy , and Is
alwujrf getting him Into liunble , although ho
knows It no nso , for 1 wouldn't look at him If
ho was the last man the longest day of my
life , and so I've told him. "
"I'm sorr > Mary , but I don't see that 1 can
help him any. "
' O , ma'am , if you'd but speak a word to
the captain , I'm suio "
"Huton know 1 can't do that ; I have to
share in the regiment's discipline. "
"Then , ma'am , I suppose poor Mickey must
stay theie and bo punished lor nothing nt nil.
It seems haid on the poor boy , but it's the
uriny wav " and Mary would tearfully
withdraw to tlio kitchen.
Whatever belief Mrs. Blake may have cn-
tot tallied roguiding the limit ol her nuthor-
Ity , it Is certain that slioitly alter t'lls ' MIck
uy would be marced to the captain's quniturs
liy a tile of the , 'uard , and , alter n short ser
vice of solemn leeUmi und voluble losponse ,
would be icleascd upon piomisu of leform.
But ho fell nu.iln nnd a .iin , until unwill
ing ocs were compelled to see , nnd a Mlont
but potent oidciat dccieo was promulgated
concerning him.
Mickev , rationalIv sober , pleasantly Intoxi
cated , Vt.is in Captain BlaUo's kitchen , held-
ing sweet conver-io with his love , Mary the
houio-niiild. Ho was now near the end of his
llf tec-nth j ear of sol v Ice.
"Ah , mv ie\\cl' " ho cried , "I'll soon bo
wearing thiee service stripes on mv aim , in
stead of the piltiy two , tis buti week long
er , and mv disc-barge is , duo. Then I'll ro-
enllst , and I'll many you but jon know
that , suro-and with the inomi.V that'll becoming
coming to n.cuo'll ' lake a lurlou h and ire on
a wadding trip. Think of thatl And when
via coino back , It's quaitors of our own we'll
have , which iou'll keep that neat a man could
sleep on thu Hour without soiling his blouse. "
' It s nothing else lo slcsp on you'll have , 1
fear , If you don't mend \our wajs , Mickey. "
"Ah , now , j on wouldn't fordid mo a diop
at , odd times ! Como now " And with a
piodUnl amount of cujulory jMickey adjusted
u pair of lose colored glasses , similar lo his
own , over Mary's o.\c-1 , and thus thov viewed
a future of unbounded love nnd plontv ,
stretching in pleasant vista through liftcon
ycais more of service , widening then to lion-
branlo lotireniPin on a comfortable pension.
They would bo oid then O , veiy old but
Mickey would be a civat m in , with a stated
income , and she would still bo tils wife. Ttio
woild would noeVy well with them.
Mickey wapionlpt in stating to Captain
Blake bis desiio to io-ciilist in A coinpinj.
"H's the cracl : company of the regiment ,
colonel-said he , taking polite c.ue to ud-
diess his commandri by hM nlghc'bt brevet
rani : , "und I'm proud to belong to It. I'll bo
glad to Iliiish my uCtlvo sei v.uo in it. "
But the captain demurred , which Miokoy ,
with no idu.i of tho'll ' it agaln&t his ro-enlist-
mc-nt , thought strange.
"You had bolter see If you can't go in
some of the other ci > mpiuies , Kovnolds , " said
ho. "My company is > full now. and 1 must
cut down. Gu ami sue the other company
comiaaiidcrs " Thus Captuln Ulako left hU
app leant and marched on dutv as oflliur of
the day. ,
An hour later Mickev ictumcd , with an
expression of grieved conccin on his open
Irf-h faio.
"Captain , thov all say they can't tuko mo.
What does it menu ! Don't they wan't me
any lo-.iger , after lifteun yeais'honest sci-
vice with them in camp and garrison , and
never a mi ) luitf"
Kind-hcai ted Captain Blake had dreaded
that , question , and had hoped to bioak the
foiccof MicKev's disappointment bj sending
him on his errand of lo-enllstment to the
dlffeient communes.
"I'm nfiaid it's so , " said bo. "You are n
good soliMur in the Held , but we don't have
much lighting row , and when jou can get
liquor , u's nil day with you. You know th it ,
and so ' . ou know nil about It. I'll ' glvoou
as good a discharge as f can , and you try
\our luck elsuwneio , where the men don't
all know your fulling. I think j on inuv bo
wanted ta so-.nu othi-r regiu cut now. " The
captain had in mind cortari private letters ho
und written concviiilng Keuiclds.
But , Mickey shook his head "If there's
"
noplace for "inn In Uio old icgimuui , thcru's
none nowhere , sir. My lifn'.s been passed In
it and I'm what It. has inado mo. " Ho saluted
the captain pjrfunctord ) and moveJ off
across the parade giound with uncertain ,
langlnc atc-pi Cvoi v tra > o of his alert , mill-
tnrv Dealing had vanished.
I'ho adjutant's kcua 0)0 had noted Koy-
nolds' nbsuncu at guard mounting , and ho
commented upon it mentally.
"Uruc.k , I suppo-u , thinks his tlmo is so
near out we'll let it pass. I'll Just round him
up onio inoio , "
So after tncieuu'ar ' morning duties were
completed and the colonel had loft the oftico ,
ho summoned the or.K-ily
Go toA' Lompiuy and toll Hoynolds to
como here "
The ordeily saluted , withdrew , nnd In Hvo
minute- , returned alone.
"It1) nolds is nut , in his quarters , sir ; some
of Uie'mim said they saw him going toward
town on the railioad. "
' ! < ho on pass' "
"Seig.'aiit Grumm said ho was not , sir "
"That will an" Tlio mljutint refloated
"Just as 1 thought ; now he won t she v up
for a week "
Teward noon Captain Blake , sitting on his
porc-h a'ld keeping nn eve on the garrison
generally , saw Corporal O'Brien of "A"
company rush frantically to the surgeon's
door and ring the bell. Ttio captain was on
his foot in an Instant.
"What's Iho matter , O'Brien ) Who Is
hurll" hu called , and Marv , thu housemaid ,
sweeping down the stiirs put horhoad out of
the door to sen and listen.
The corporal saluted hastily.
"It's Koynoldo , sir. Wo'vo Just found

iitotit o ( ' ilio Uniform Hank
of 1'jtliluH.
Many of these who were residents of
Ciolhnm In 180S may remember n llttlo tavern
on the Bowery , nearly opposite Spring street ,
known to the boys about town as the "Corn
Cob. " Hero a number of choice spirit ! ) of
the dramatic profession used to meat nightly
and discuss the triumphs or failures of the
evening over a bottle of wuio or a mug of
ale , tell stories , nml work out practical Jokes
lu n manner that would have made Sothorn
stare and blush. Dun Bryant , Nelso Seymour -
mour , Charley White , Tony Pastor , and a
dozen other kindred spirits might at that
tlmo bo found thcro any evening In tha
week making tnetiylth song , story
and rop.irtee. These nicotines became
so icgulnr , and a source of so much
enjoyment that It was finally arranged
to form an organl/ntlon for mutual enter
tainment and protection , to bo called the
"Jolly Corks , " und under that name tlio or-
g.ml/ntlon continued for some tlmo. It was
at Ilist a semi-secret society , composed ex
clusively of members of the dramatic profes
sion , and any "good fellow" who was con
nected with the beards was eligible to mem
bership.
Early In lyJS Charloi Vivian , the brilliant
London coined ! in who was at that time plnj-
Ing an engagement at Uio old Mlnstiol hall
on Broadwity , w.is Introduced at a mooting
of the "Jolly Corks , " and , after becoming ac
quainted with tie ! purpose of the organlza-
tinn , ho proposed to iliango the order to one
similar to the "Buffalooi" ot London.
This proposition did not meet with
much favor , as something distinctively
American was -wanted. After considerable
( list ussion and tlio consumption of numerous
tohys of ido It \\.is decided tliut the older
should bo known a * the Benevolent and Pro
tective Older of Ulks. 1'his scorned to have
been too Amoilean for Vivian , for although
practically the fonndev of the order anil the
author of the Hist degtoiho never became
an Ulk. Before lhc > formal otgani/ition was
completed his professional engagements compelled -
polled him to co westward There ho died in
1ST ! ) , and his remains icposod in a nreloctod
and Unlotteto.l gr.ue at Loudvillu Mill the
early springof ISVJ , when thov werecUmmcd
and i amoved to the "Hits' Kent' ' at Button ,
wnoio all that was moital of ttio goiilnl notor
now llis , undur the shadow of a m.irblo si aft ,
ihat tolls of his in tiny virtues and his bur-
vli'os to the order.
Tiio order was formnllv instituted Pob-

llrst lodijo , rscnv York No. 1 , Is embcllUhed
with the autograph ? of iniinv of these wno at
the time were popular favorites on the va-
r o'v and minstrel stage.
For several vars alter the organisation of
the order its doors were closed against all
but lugitimito members of thu Uramatio pro-
fo-'sion. 'Iho rule- , wore tht'ii somewhat
ro'n\ei1 and a few favorite Journalists wore
admitted , but tliu order was li'tlo else than
u social society till 1S71. In March of that
year tlio order wa < duly inrornoinlod under
Iho law of thustntnof Now Yoik , and Irom
that time its existence us a fr.iti'imil heiinvo-
lent , ortani/ation dates. Tlio restricted chur-
nrior of the niemboiship retarded the growth
of the order till l Tli , and only four lodges
weio instituted in eight y.arand these
could hardlv bra considered in a healthy con
