Alphonso von Dyvctiliotin , sergeant
major Sixth United States cavalry , wni
Iho ether evening porstmded to tell his
frlonilH the following good story of a
personal experience with the late chief ,
YoniiB-Man-Afrald-oMIls-IIorso :
"On February 10 , 1882 , bolng at the
time a sergeant In Captain R M. Gib-
BOII'S company M , Soventli cavalry , I ro-
colvod iMjrmission to hunt for the period
of twenty days.
The same day I left Port Mcnrto , S.
1) . , and pulled M far as Spcarllsh , a dis
tance of ubjut twenty-two miles , camp
ing there that night , and starting for
Slim Hnttcs , arriving there the same
riiifht and pulling out next morning for
the "Little Missouri" rlvor on the road
toward Fort Kcngh. 1'assing across the
Uoxoldor creek I saw lots of signs that
IntlTalo had boon there recently and I
went into camp.
Our party consisted of two privates
of troop M , Schroeder nml McGmth , the
latter a , rcornlt who hud boon in the
Borvlco only a short time , hut n strong ,
hardy and agile young follow , coming
from Boston. Wo soon eamo upon a
party of citi/ens who Joined us.
On the morning of February 14. as I
got out of my tent I saw a Binall herd of
bUITnlo at u distanno of about two miles
from camp and awoke my party. We
cooked a quick breakfast and then Me-
Grath and myself started out after the
gamo. The temperature wasj moderate ,
only a few degrees below zero , yet hav
ing served in Dakota for some Hmo , I
had started well prepared with gloves ,
fur cap and Dutch socks , knowing that
wo might uxpoct a blizzard 'most any
time.
The butlalo kept wandering further
away from us all the time until at lust
when about live miles from camp they
commenced grazing in one spot.
Crawling on hands and knees for
along ; distance I at last got within
range of them , and dropped seven be
fore I got.up. McGrnth at once com
menced to cut thorn up while I started
after a young cow I had wounded and in
tended to secure her hide above all.
After having chased them for some
time I heard two shots fired and seeing
my two citizen friends had my game , I
turned and went back toward McGrath ,
who was still busy trimming up the
game , when I noticed the air toward the
northeast getting white , and knowing
Dakota only too well I told Mac to stop
fooling with the game and follow mo ,
tolling him there was a blizzard not
long from coining upon us.
"Wo had walked about two miles when
wo met our hunter friends and by that
time tire blizzard had started in for
good , the snow was falling fast and the
thermometer had fallen over twenty de
grees. Yet I know that if wo could
hold out a little longer we would reach
our camp , inside of live miles.
Welsh , ono of the hunters , got turned
around and his friend also and soon
Btppped , telling rae that. I was going the
wrong way ; but having boon a sailor forever
over three years I was sure that I kept
glio right bearing and told them they
\voro wrong.
The cold becamb something terrible
and I gave my Dutch socks to McGrath ,
who , not being used to the cold as much
as I , sulTorod far more. At lust the poor
follow begun to bog mo to fgllow those
citizens as ho was sure those men knew
more of the country than I did. But I
would not , and throwing his arms around
mo ho bogged mo to follow Welsh. But
I would not bo persuaded till at last ho
told mo that ho would not follow mo but
would go with Welsh and Dawnon.
I stopped awhile and told him that if
ho did not reach camp no living being
could live through the night away from
tire , and that it was only an hour or so
before night would como on ns. IIo
asked mo then if I would feel hurt if ho
was to go with Welsh , as ho was sure I
was on the wrong trail. Seeing it was
useless to persuade him and not caring
to take the
responsibility against a
man's llrm belief , I told him ho could
go , but bogged htm again to follow me.
Ho wont , and that WUH the last I over

fooling that I was freezing by degrees ,
and only hoping to Htriko the crook bottom

wait until morning. I noticed soon that
I could not hold out much longer and at
last 1 foil down in the snow.
J remembered no more until about 10
o'clock that night , when I awoke In an
Indian tepee and two Indians- were rub

enmo to my bouses , and putting my
clothes on again asked where I was. A
half brocd interpreter told mo that
Young-Mun-Afniid-of-His-IIorso had
found mo about 100 yards from his camp l
and carried mo on his shoulders into his ,
tepee , where ho had put some of his
young mun to rubbing mo into sensi
bility with snow. I thanked him as
much as I could and after renting up .sa
little longer asked where my tent was.
lining told it was not much over < ! ( )0 )
yards from there I started at once for
my ciunp. Arriving there I found
Sishroedor had some antolono moat and
eotTi.'o ready for my reception. I ate a
little and then put MHIIO roasted onions
around ; my face and feet as they were
badly frosted. Then Hehroodor and
myself gathered nil the wood wo could
and draggud it to the next knoll and
made a signal liro.
This tire wo kept up all night and

A .Hnlillrr'K Hunt Itrftt.
General Edward .Tardlno died at the
Hotel I'omeroy at 1 p. m. Sunday , the
IGth hist , , from n complication of dis
orders resulting from wounds which ho
received in action thirty years ago. His
body bore many scars , and for years ho
was a cripple. Ho also had sutfered in
ternal Injuries , which slowly under
mined his health and strength. His
record asasoldlor was an honorable one ,
says the Xow York Tribune , and during
the civil war ho was promoted from the
rank of captain to that of brevet briga
dier general for gallant and meritorious
service. IIo was ( > . " > years old and leaves
a wife and son.
General .lardlno was fully aware of
the near approach of death throughout
his long , Html Illness , and mot It at the
last as bravely as ho had many times
faced it on the Hold of battle. His phy
sician , on leaving his bodsldo Saturday
night , informed Mrs. Jnrdino that this
end was not far olT , and that though her
husband might survive another day , she
should bo prepared for his death at any
moment. At 2'M : n. m the general was
overcome by ono of the fainting spoils
whloh were of frequent ot-curronco dur
ing his illness , and from that time until
his death ho was in a state of collapse ,
though ho retained consciousness almost
until his last breath. Ho had often told
his wife and friends that ho would not
recover , and in the morning ho told
thorn , what they already know , that ho
was dying. His physician made his last
call at 0:30 : a. m. , when ho stated that
his patient was beyond human aid. Only
an hour or two before his death the gen
eral said to his wife , referring to his old
comrades in arms : "Well , I am going.
Bid the boys 'goodby. ' " Soon afterward
ho lost the power of articulationbut eon-
lined to ri-oogiiizo his wife and the few
friends who surrounded him by smiling
at thorn till 1 o'clock , when the old war
rior calmly entered the bivouac of the
General .Inrdino was horn iu Now York ,
which was his homo for nearly sixty-live
yearn. His father was a French exile ,
who , driven from his native land by his
political opponents' , bottled llrst in Eng
land ami afterward came to this country.
While yet a stripling ho bceamo inter
ested in military affairs , and in 181 ! )
joined the Second company of the
.Seventh regiment. At the outbreak of
the civil war ho enlisted a company at
Fort Lee for Hawkins's Zouaves , which
became the Ninth New York volunteers.
IIo received his commission as captain
May-I , 180f , and wont to the front the
mime month. lie took part in the battle
of Big Bethel , and had command of the
landing force which attacked Fort Clark
and Fort HattoniH. IIo was also in the
battles of South Mountain , Antictam ,
Frcderiekriburg , Caindon , N. C. , Roanoke -
eke island , Elizabeth Cit y , Suffolk and
ether engagements. " i
In the battle of Antietam ho per
formed an uot of daring und , bravery for
which ho wit's highly commended. Ho
wits at the time in temporary "command
of the Eighty-seventh Now York regi
ment. The regiment was advancing ,
but the enemy poured into their ranks
Mich a storm of bullets and shells , and
the men were falling so fast , that the
line wavered. General , or Major Jar-
dine as ho was then , jumped upon a rock ,
exposing himself to the liorco lire , and
in full view of all his men waved his
sword and shouted : "What are you fol
lows doing ? Rally ! Forward ! Charge ! "
The olTeet was magical. The men , in
spired by the example of their leader ,
closed up their ranks and aiirang for
ward with a cheer , dashing down the
hill and routing the confederate line in
front of them.
At ono time General .Tardino's loft
thumb was nearly shot away , at another
time his right shoulder was shattered 1
and ho received a bull in the thigh
which disabled him fora time , and re
sulted in the loss of ono kidney. His
many wounds comnelled him to retire
from the Hold temporarily , in the middle
of the waiymd he was in Now York at the
tiiue the draft riots broke out. Ho took ;
an active part In suppressing them and
1f
won the cordial hatred of the leaders of
the. mob. At the head of 175 men ho at
tempted to disperse a mob at Nintcenth
street and First avenue. The mob ,
numbering many thousands , over
powered the little handful of soldiers
and one of the rioters leveled a gun at
the leader's head. A zouavo struck
down the weapon and saved his loader's
lifo , but the charge entered his knee
mid thigh , making a torriljlo wound.
Utterly helpless ho was carried by his
men into a collar , in the hope of hiding
from the mob. They bought him out ,
but decided not to kill him , as they
thought ho was wounded so badly that
ho would surely dlo in a few hours. Ho
recovered partially , however , and
before the war was over was again at
the front.
IIo was rapidly promoted for his brav
ery , lie was made a major February 14 ,
18U2 ; lieutenant colonel of the Seven
teenth Now York Infantry , October 17 ,
IBtlJl ; a brevet brigadier general of vol
unteers November 2 , 181)5 ) , and was mus
tered out of the borvico April 12 , 1800 ,
with a lighting record.
Ho never saw a well day after the
war. His wounds were too many and
too hovoro to permit his recovery. IIo
possessed , however , a vigorous constitu .oi
tion , a strong vitality and an indoinl- ii
table will , and though sullorlng greatly
at times and near death on several occa
sions , managed to tight against disease
and wounds as successfully as ho had ,
fought against rebels and rioters.
Shortly after the war ho was appointed
weigher at the custom house , und with
the exception of short intervals was able
to perform his dutlos until three months
ago.

He underwent nine surgical operations
on the leg which was shuttered in the
riots , pieces of the bone being removed
each time , so that the log was at the
time of his death six inches .shorter
than the other. For a considerable
time he wont to his work on crutches. !
The lust operation on his leg was per
formed lust October , Since that time
lie had a tumor removed from his head.
The tumor resulted from a blow initiated
upon him by a rlotor with the butt of
his gun.
Ho became confined to his bed twelve
weeks ago. For a long time before his
death ho was kept constantly under the '
intluunce of opiated to relieve the ter
rible pain which gradually reduced his
strength.

to Mini Ophelia Kroomer of Now York.

In the lint article of this serins it was
atatcd that a reduction of mean gradl-
from 'U to 1 } pop cent meant : i
of 50 pur cent in loads linulucl. It is not
my purposes to enter into n long nrgu-
mcnt to show why this is so. I will only
say that the question of the otTeot of
ratios is u question that hns boon thor
oughly ( liou.sdcd by many onRlnoers anil
practical rotul buildord. Experiments
liavo boon nuulo from time to time to
show what loads a horse can haul over
dilfercnt gradients and certain dollnito
results liavo been arrived at.
lloro is a table showing sonio of the
results that have boon obtained for hard ,
dry earth roads. The first column gives
the mean gradient which is oiicountored
over the entire length of the road , while
thu figures in thu second column show
the weight in pounds , including the
weight of the wagon , that ono hors cane
haul over the road indicated.

3 In lee , , HSU pounds
M.5 In ion . 77Uputmds
4 In 100 700 pounds
5 In 100 OHO pounds
In examining this table notice how
rapidly the load that can bo hauled in
creases as the mean gradient doorcases.
Wo notice for example that when the
grade doorcases from O.o per cent to 1.5
per cent the loud that can ho hauled is
increased from 770 pounds to 1I)0 ! )
pounds , or in ether words the cost of
haulage is reduced by one-third by the
reduction in grades alone.
Aniitliiir AdviuiliiKC.
There is another important advantage
to uo derived from the construction of
correctly located roads , and ono that
will reduce the cost of haulage still fur
ther and very materially , though junt
how much the reduction will be cannot
bo stated with any degree of certainty.
This is the fact , that correctly located
roads will offer a shorter route to the
majority of the farming community than
is , offered by section' line roads. At
first J ' sight this" may not seem
clear , but ifjt'1 ' little reflection
will dsmonsti'Utd ' ; its truth. For
correctly located 1'ouds , while following
the lines dictated } > y nature , should at
the same time riuliuto from the small
market centers lira manner similar to
the spokes of n'luvhecl. ' Thus every
farmer will betlthin a short distance of
ono of those improf ed roads , and when
ho once reachesiltwill Und himself trav
eling in a practically direct line over
the easiest grad'es'to his objective point.
By the present $ y4tom he is compelled
to follow the seuiHm lines , whic.li force
him to traVcrso-itwo sides pf .a triamrlo
over the worst ttctfriblu grades.
Still anotheradvantage to boDerived ,
frjom correctly 1/nmtgd / i\oaus lies-in , .the
fact that all of Uie-sinaU market towns
of. this county ar.o in the valleys. This
means that at least one-half of the
farmers would drive to. their market on
a continuous down grade , with a mean
no greater than H per , eent , but still
always down. This would enable this
fortunate half to haul very heavy loads
to market , the wagous roturmng up hill
empty or light. This is by no means a
fanciful statement , but it is a fact capa
ble of easy realization by building cor
rectly located roads.
In a former article of this scries I
stated that the decreased cost of main
tenance was another strong argument
in favor o ( correctly located roads. This
is mainly for the reason that on cor
rectly kcated roads heavy cuts , heavy
fills and stoop' grades are ulinostentiroly
avoided , while on section line rouds they
are the rule. '
An excellent oxaihplo of the dilllculty
of maintaining heavy embankments is
furnished by thovgrades on South Thir
teenth street. A ride over this street
from Vinton street to South Omaha will
furnish un object lesson to any ono. The
( lltlloulty lies in the fuot that our soil re
sists the action of 'wutor about as well
as so much brown sugar. The destruc
tion of those heavy embankments is a
perfectly logical rosultof their construc
tion. Again , the longj deep cuts through
the summits of the hills afford excellent
water courses in every rain storm. ( Jon-
lined between their walls the streams
race down the so-callod gutters or select
a novvly made wagon rut , and enlarge
the sumo with surprising rapidity. After
a few storms such gullies become dun-
gorous to tralllc and sometimes obstruct
it entirely.
On correctly located roads such dan
gers would bo very largely avoided.
Heavy embankments and long and deep
cuts would have no existence. The
water , instead of being confined in a de
structive stream , would bo permitted to
escape into natural courses before it had
attained any volume.
Suoh water as would fall on the road
way would bo carried away by gutters of
moderate inclination , and not bo con
verted into a mountain torrent , as la
now the ease on the steep hillbldus.

Wo'have alroad"'seen how the first
ono of these advantages will reduce the
cost of haulage Uy one-third. The
nocond and third advantages taken to
gether will easily reduce the cost still
further by ono-sixth. Therefore all three
advantages taken together will have
thu effect of reducing the cost of haulage
to one-half of what it la at present. To
put this another way we can > ay that the
farmer can market his crops in just one-
half the time that is now required , if u
system of correctly located reads bo
built. There is no oilier known method
of road improvement that would confer
so great a uenolit on thu county at largu
at so binull u cost as a completed system
of correctly located ruads.
