A Son’s Life for a Father’s Bravery.
An interesting Incident that Occurred During Our War With Mexico—Mad Tape Given Way to Hemsey.
E. P. Call
General Winfield S. Scott of the Mexican War, etc., was a good deal of a Martinet at times, but there were occasions, and not infrequent ones either, when his red tape theories were brushed aside by something that appealed to his kindly heart; for by nature he was a man of most generous instincts. A pleasant incident of his campaign in Mexico was told: in this city the other evening to a party of gentlemen who were exchanging associates in the conversation room of one of our clubs. The one who told the story in question was closely related to the principal persons concerned; and as these persons have a number of descendants-and collateral relatives-in California, it will be advisable while repeating the tale in print to avoid the publication of the real names of those involved. Documentary evidence of the affair is stored among the War Department archives in Washington, and copies of some of these are in the possession of a prominent San Francisco lawyer, an ex judge.
The story runs as follows: At the outbreak of the Mexican War there was living in Indiana a gentleman of considerable means who had had some military training in his youth. Mr. McDermot, as we will call him, was not far from fifty years of age and had several children, one of whom was a young man who had just passed his teens. The Galer had for some time been suffering weak lungs, and finally was informed a physician that his lease of life was run. This announcement was made on the day when the news came that government needed volunteers for the that had been declared against Mexico. McDermot promptly decided to offer his services in any capacity that would be able to the authorities, saying he had no to die in bed while his country offered a battlefield to die on. Notwithstanding his physical condition it was deemed sane by the powers that were to accept invalid volunteer because of his social tion and of the influence that his de-ined patriotism would have upon others. McDermot was therefore given a com-ision as Major of an Indians regiment, though many persons doubted that he did live long enough to reach the scene of an event. The young son referred to also volunteered, and he was enrolled as a private another regiment. Unable to take a very active part in the organizing of his regiment, Mr McDermot nevertheless proved himself to be in many ways an efficient officer, I accompanied the command to the seat war. The mental occupation, the river ocean voyages and the change of scene—a wonderfully good effect upon the sick an, and the result was that he was in pre-fair shape for active service are the troops he has a month in Mexico and from that will be remembered that stringent were issued to the American troops campaign against acts of aggression pressure toward non-combatant civilians Mexico, and that for disobedience orders punishment was promptly made. According to the findings of the co-county young McDermot, a hot head bad in an unwarranted manner in party of Mexicans in Vera Cruz, and meles that followed bad presumably one of them. For this he had been sentenced to be shot. Gen. Soon reading the report, turned to his staff and called attention to the fact by a curious coincidence, the name Dermot appeared in both the discord and expressed a curiosity to know two persons were in any way related other. The chief of staff sent for an officer who happened to be at headquarters and from him it was learned that the of Huamantla was the father of the prisoner at Vera Cruz.
“This is a most unfortunate affair Scott; and then, after a few minutes thought, he continued: “It is impossible me to thank the father and sign the death warrant with the same pen.”
He at once wrote a letter of contion to Gen. Lane, and in express commendation of Major McDermot’s conduct, and then wrote upon the date from Vera Cruz: “The finding of thе martial not approved. Let the p McDermot be dismissed from the army be immediately sent back to the States.”
After signing this he looked up kindly smile and said: “There is crosses of valor to confer upon the har- our army, but I think that brave faith be satisfied with his reward.”

The young man referred to also volunteered, and he was enrolled as a private another regiment. Unable to take a very part in the organizing of his regiment, Mr McDermott nevertheless proved him to be in many ways an efficient officer. I accompanied the command to the seat war. The mental occupation, the river ocean voyages and the change of scene a wonderfully good effect upon the sick man, and the result was that he was in pret fair shape for active service ere the troops been a month in Mexico, and from that me on improvement steadily until he was practically a well man when the campaign was ended.
And now we approach the incident suggested at the beginning of this article. Gen. Scott, after capturing Pueblo, had marched on his victorious path, leaving that town garrisoned by a small force under Colonel Childs. A body of Mexican troops invested the place, and the populace, encouraged by the presence of these troops, arose against the American invader. Childs with nearly 2000 wounded and invalid soldiers in his charge, and with an effective force of less than a thousand men, found himself hemmed in on every side by an army outmaneuvering the belligerent citizens. Concentrating his little command in the plains of the town, and utilizing the adjunct esthdral for a hospital, Childs made a gallant defense against the apparently overwhelming forces opposed to him and held them at bay despite the superiority of their artillery. One of his recruits contrived to get through the Mexican lines and to reach Gen. Scott with an appeal for help. Scott at once forwarded to Vera Cruz an order for Gen. Lane to move his brigade by forced march to the assistance of the belengared Childs. There were all the troops that could be spared for the purpose, but the brigade was an abruptly small in comparison to the force that must be attached that any other war had the one in question their effort would have been considered anything better than a failure hope. Experience had already proved, however, that one American soldier was worth several times his weight in Mexico, and the brigade hurried forward in absolute confidence that they should not fall to its victorious Nerves of their approach having marched the belengared Santa Ana, who was in personal command at Pueblo, marched out to meet many persons doubted that he would live long enough to reach the scene of action.

Cabins Which Have no Windows
A Montana Where Nature In Lavish With Her Glen, but the People Are Ignorant of the Value of Manly
Chicago Tribune
"I always had an idea that the stories we read about the ignorance of the people living in the mountains regions of Tennessee were exaggerations," and a Chicago man who famously made a visit to the southwestern part of that State, "but now I know better. These reports are not only true, but the facts have not been half told. I am not easily astonished, but I confess I was astonished by what I saw in Tennessee. Why, there are lots of men known there who have grown old and have raised families who can neither read nor write, and have never in their lives been far enough away from their homes to lose sight of the smoke that curled out of their chimneys. I knew there was a time when people lived in houses that had no windows in them, but I never dreamed that such a state of affairs existed in this enlightened age. Yet there are plenty of such habitats in Tennessee. And the people live in them are quite as much representatives of civilization as their dwellings. They have no knowledge whatever of the existence of a world that tends beyond the range of their vision on a clear day. I will say, however, that with them ignorance is decided blissful. To possess a rifle or a shotgun and a jug of whisky is the limit of their ambition. They know nothing of the value of their ambition."

OUR NEWSPAPER HEADLINES
American Originality and "Washington" Agenda Our English Sunday.
In England nationalism and anything approaching "immortals" are avoided; but in America the very opposite is the rule Indeed, so much attention is paid to headlines in that country that there is engaged on the staff of every newspaper of importance a gentleman whose duty it is to supply headlines to articles and paragraphs Some of these headline writers are paid large salaries and have a wide reputation.
Mr. George Augustus Sala once said that American journalists rarely take anything seriously; they are perpetually trying to be smart and amusing. Few people who have even an elementary knowledge of American newspapers will call into question the truth of Mr. Sala's assertion. The American journalist is nothing if not original, and this ruling passion is strikingly exemplified in the very headlines.
We have, for instance, never seen but one heading in English newspapers for those simple announcements which never fall to interest female readers—we mean the Births, Marriages and Deaths. In America, however, they use such headlines as Cradle, Altar, Tomb; Hatches, Matches, Dispatches, and so on; while one original genius sums up life thus—Births, Elistrations, Engagements, Breakings off, Marriages, Divorces, Deaths. Then, incident of the familiar Posting, Poetry, we
be remembered that stringent orders were issued to the American troops in that campaign against acts of aggression or opposition toward non-combatant citizens of Mexico, and that for disobedience of these were punishment was promptly mated out. Young McDermot, a hot headed lad, in an unwarranted manner insulted a city of Mexicans in Vera Cruz, and in the case that followed had presumably killed them. For this he had been tried sentenced to be shot. Gen. Scott, after the report, turned to his chief of and called attention to the fact that curious coincidence, the name "McDermot" appeared in both the dispatches, expressed a curiosity to know if the persons were in any way related to each other. The chief of staff sent for an Indiana man who happened to be at headquarters, from him it was learned that the hero Guanantla was the father of the deceased owner at Vera Cruz.
This is a most unfortunate affair," said it; and then, after a few moments' right, he continued: "It is impossible for you to thank the father and sign the son's wish warrant with the same pen."
At once wrote a letter of congratulation to Gen. Lane, and in it expressed his assumption of Major McDermot's gallant act, and then wrote upon the document Vera Cruz: "The finding of the court trial not approved. Lut the prisoner hermit he dismissed from the army and immediately sent back to the United States."
After signing this he looked up with a smile and said: "There are no value to confer upon the heroes of army, but I think that brave father will assist with his reward."
Colored non-union men at work at the Iron Works at Pittsburgh were stunned by Mrs. Saturday, when the colored men pistols and fired into the crowd. Four injured one, a boy, fatally.
Democrats, in framing a tariff bill, came to recognize the fast that protection become part of the general business ammend, and so moderates the measure as to send many Republican votes.

Local company is being organized in Chicago to build a line of railway direct延伸 Yuma.

SLOCUM, M.D., 181 Pearl St., N.Y.
The Girl and the Girdle.
Girl and the Girdle has grown to be a monstrous with the girls. This morning, in an apartment where people lived in houses that had no windows in them, but I never dreamed that such a state of affairs existed in this enlightened age. Yet there are plenty of such habitations in Tennessee.
And the people live in them are quite as much representatives of civilization as their dwellings. They have no knowledge whatever of the existence of a world that tends beyond the range of their vision on a clear day. I will say, however, that with them ignorance is decided blissful. To possess a rifle or a shot gun and a jag of whiskey is the limit of their ambition. They know nothing of the value of money except as regards its power to purchase liquor and ammunition.
One day a man whom I met had occasion to go from his home to the county seat. He was a man of more intelligence than most of his fellows, but he had never in his life been away from home before. He had never seen a town. The nearest approach to one he had seen was the collection of houses about the store where he sold his truck and bought his bacon. When he got back from the county seat I asked him what he thought of what he saw. 'Well,' said he, 'all I got ter say is this: If this world is as big on the right as us as it is on the left, she must be a regular whale.'
"I was once riding up in the Cumberland mountains," continued the Chicago man, "when I saw a bearded mountaineer splitting a big tree he had felled. It was a huge black walnut. I said to him: 'My friend, what are you doing?' 'I'm a makin' fence rails,' was his reply. 'Well,' said I, you don't mean to tell me you are making trains out of that piece of timber? 'Why, sartin; that's a good log, isn't it? It was as fine a black walnut log as I ever saw, and if my friend had known enough to get somebody with a few oxen or mules to drag the log to the railroad he could have sold it for $200, for it was worth more than that.
"But it is not only the mountainers whose density of ignorance is astonishing. I observed a case notable as showing in a striking manner why the South is so far behind the rest of the country in the matter of progress."
"The lumber used in Tennessee for building purposes is popular, as the mountains are full of it and pine is scarce. Saw mills are established in the 'oaves,' and the millman cuts up logs hauled to his saws by the mountainers. He pays a certain sum for logs, and then, figuring compensation for his work of sawing, sets a price on his product. It happened that at the time I was in Tennessee the price of lumber was $18 per 1000 feet. A man of my acquaintance has having a house built, and determined to have the interior finished with hardwood and red oak, which abounded in that region. Accordingly he asked the sawmill man what he would charge for lumber of the kind wanted. My friend was greatly astonished on being told that the price would be just the same as for poplar—$18 per 1000. That sawmill man will probably never get rich. Had he taken his hardwood and sedar lumber to the railroad and shipped it to Chattanooga or Nashville it would there have brought him $50 or $60 per 1000.
"One more yarn," added the Chicago person there was a time when people lived in houses that had no windows in them, but I never dreamed that such a state of affairs existed in this enlightened age. And the people live in them are quite as much representatives of civilization as their dwellings. They have no knowledge whatever of the existence of a world that tends beyond the range of their vision on a clear day. I will say, however, that with them ignorance is decided blissful.
