fETERANS OF THE MEX:!CAN WAR
In May, 1846, was fought the battles
uf Palo Alto and Resacca de la Palma
@nd the following year Gen. Taylor
‘won the flerce fight at Buena Vista, and
Bcott moved in triumph from Vera
Cruz up the heights of Cerro Gordo,
over the Cordilleras and down into
; valley, sweeping away formidable
Op position and occupying the capitol
Di Mexico; eventuating in the retenion of Texas, the acquisition of CaliOrnia and southern Rocky Mountain
erritories ; an empire in extent.
. Fifty-one years after the battle four
terans of that war marched in the
post of honor on Memorial Day in
th is city at the head of the Grand Army
Division. Perhaps but few among the
many thousands who saw then fully
Fealized the lapse of years’ since they,
their young manhood, won immortal
fame by their oft repeated deeds of
h eroism on many a field wrested from
fs superior numbers.’ While the great
battles of the Rebellion and the size of
f § contending armies have now, to a
certain extent, over-shadowed those in
M exico, still no ome should imagine
that they were com paratively bloodless
or that those campaigns were mere
fholidey affairs. At Buena Vista,
Maline del Rey, and in other battles,
he loss of the Americans was very
7 at, and victory was secured only by
Sliatit valor, which would not admit
Pdefeat, and by the better discipline
nd cohesiveness of the northern forces,
4 he endurances displayed by these
ged veterans in marching was refarkable, and while some of them may
ferhaps be living a tenth of a ceni y bence the great mass of them will
a e passed bravely and quietly away
Taylor, Scott, Worth, Doniphan, Wool
and Kearney. The Nation owes much
to these gallant men, and the pensions
paid them should be so increased that
the needy ones may live the remainder
of their days in peaceful comfort.
They deserve much from California
for they were its real, though distant,
pioneers. Their services should be ever
remembered with feelings of deepest
gratitude, and State and people should
unstintedly grant them any needed aid
tv make their latest days as happy and
and triunphant.
JUST THE SIZE OF IT.
Nevada City Shocks the Sensibilities of
the Athens of California.
Nevada City announces that the town
is to be thrown “wide open” during the
approaching encampment there of the
G.A.R. If they are going to that extent for the old-timers who, as a. rile,
are staid and sober, whut do they propose todo for the’ Native Sons when
they hold their grand parlor up there
next week. It will have to be a case of
“everything goes but murder.”—QOakland ‘Tribune.
Nevada City’s style is to always do
the prettiest she can for her guests on
every occasion. That’s why people in
other parts of the State like to come
here and shake off the ennui that they
are always breathing in sleepy, prim
villages like Oakland and Milpitas.
The old soldiers have found out already this week that they don’t have to
ask for anything they want from us.
We of the mountains who are bred in
the very nesting-place of freedom appreciate the fact that if it were not for
tLem we might not be here now, and
they are welcome to just reach out and
take anything we have so long as they
don’t want our wives and babies. As
for the Native Sons, we had them here
once before, and k now just what to expect of them. ‘To be sure they stole
away some of our Native Daughters
‘then and married thém. They’) just
as likely as not steal more of them this
time. But we didn’t kick then and
don’t propose to now.
No, everything but murder “goes”
with the vets and the boys, and that’s
why they like it here. i

“OLD WAR STORIES.
Some. of the. Old. Veterans Tell Several
Good Ones
There are a number of famous story
tellers here with the Grand Army.
Last evening a crowd of the old boys
got together and these are samples of
their yarns:
HE WANTED SOMETHING TO EAT.
General Forest, during the late war,
was once approached by an Arkansas
man, who asked:
“General, when do you reckin’ we're
goin’ to get something to eat?” ".
“Kat )” exclaimed the General. “Did
you join the army merely to get some“Waal, that’s about the size of it.”
“Here,” calling an officer, “give this
Man something to eat, and then have
him shot.”
The officer understood the joke, and
replied:
“All right, General.”
The Arkansas man, exhibiting no
alarm, said: :
“Bile mea ham, Oap’n, stew up a
couple o’ chickens, bake two or three
hoe-cakes, fetch a gallon o’ so o’ buttermilk, and load yer guns. With sich
inducements, the man that wouldn’t be
willing to die is a blame fool.”
THE IRISHMAN HAD HIM.
A man named Dougherty was drilling with his squad of recruits at Camp
Joe Holt, Ky. Dougherty was six fect
two in height, and at that time the orderly sergeant was a man whose height
was only five feet four. On this day he
& proached the squad looking sharply
about him for some fault to find.

‘The head was raised again. Then the
Sergeant managed by standing on hia
toes to reach Dougherty’s chin, and he
poked it higher, with the remark:
“That’s better. Don’t let me
your head down again.” ‘
By this time everybody was interested at seeing Dougherty staring away
above the orderly sergeant’s head,
when a voice from above said in a rich
brogue:
“Am I always to be like this sergeant ?” :
“Yes, sir.”
“Then I'll say goodby to ye, sergeant,

GOVERNOR TOD AND THE APPLICANT,
A good thing is told of Governor Tod
of Ohio, whose labor in the great work
Out to have their practical knowledge
tested in the application of splints,
bandages, and first aid to the wounded.
To properly carry out this examination
about twenty men were sent out in
skeleton marching order, each man
bearing a ticket labeling him as suffering from some kind of fracture, wound,
etc. The patients, as such they were
called, were directed to lie down at
stated intervals from each other, and
at some distance from the field hospital. An officer appearing on the scene
did not think the patients sufficiently
removed from the bearer companies,
and, to the great astonishment and
amusement of troopsand spectators
alike, called out in a loud aud comManding tone, “Dead and wounded»
arise and come over here.”
HE WASN’T THERE.
A soldier, a young Irishman, was
charged with striking his superior
officer, Corporal —,° and when
asked in the usual'way by the president
of suppressing the rebellion may be
characterized as of the heartiest and .
most telling character. An old lady
between fifty*and sixty years of age,
entered the Governor's office and-niade
an effort to induce that personage to
exempt hor hustand from the draft. .
Mr. Tod looked at her an instant and
exclaimed:
“Why, the old gentleman is exempt,
“Ah, but he ar’n’t an old gentleman;”
and the applicant added, “he’s only 85.”
“In that case,” said the Governor, “T
cannot do anything for ‘him, but Tl
tell you what I'll do for you; in case
he’s drafted and gets killed, I'll marry
you myself.”
‘This seemed to satisfy the old lady,
and she accordingly departed;

if he objected to any of the cffl-ers
forming the court, he answered:
“Shure, I object to ye all.”“"On what
Brounds?” asked the president. “It’s
not guilty Tam!” Of course he was informed that his innocence was not yet
proved. “Well,” he continued, “I objects to the Colonel.” “State your ob
jection.” “Well, sure, he wasn’t prisent when I struck the Corporal.”
