WELCOMED BY TILDEN.
New York, Sept. 3—The
steam yachtVicking, belonging
to Samuel J. Tilden, steamed
down fr.ora Yonkers to the
foot of Twenty-third street, at
1:30 o'clock yesterday in
charge of George W. Smith,
Tilden's private secretary.
Shortly afterward the commit-
tee appointed by the National
Democratic convention at Chi-
cago to present the address of
regret that Mr. Tilden felt it
necessary to decline the pre-
sidency went on board. After
a pleasant sail up the river,
during which a handsome col-
lation was set, the company
reached Yonkers. R H. Hen-
ry, of Mississippi, chairman of
the committee, and Governor
Abbott of New Jersev, were
•> 7
selected to present the resolu-
tions. They were driven to
Greystone. There they were
received in the parlor by Mr.
Tilden, who welcomed them.
Mr. Tilden has been indisposed
lately and his physician ad-
vised against any formal re-
ception at tliis time. The
chairman of the committee,
Mr. Henry, in his address to
Mr. Tilden, said:
The national Democratic
convention accepted your de-
clinntion and withdrawal from
public life with rcluctance,
and know the influence of
your example an a public officer
would not bo lost. That ex-
ample was and will ever con
tinne to influence political
parties in this country for good.
They have learned from it
that, with a chief executive
officer of sagacity, firmness,
and integrity, it is possible to
seenre what the people of the
TJnited States have practically
lost—honest and cheap admi-
nistration of public a^virs;
but it will be no affront to yon
sir, when we add that coupled
with this purpose tq do you
honqr is another and no less
fixed determination of the
pemocr^tic party, to em phasize
now and in coming years, all
along its iiíarel) and line of
Ü
battle, the deliberate assault of
the Republican party opon
constitutional liberty in the
nullification of your election.
THE 'LONE STAR."
A HISTORIO GUN USEJ IN
BATTJLE BY THREE RE
PUBLICS.
A Mexican veteran of St.
Louie, on reading recently an
acconnt of two historic guns,
the "Sacramento" and the
"Kickapou," which were cap-
tured by Oolonel Donipham
from the Mexicans during the
war of 1840-48, was reminded
of another famous gun, the
"Lone Star," which also fig
ured in the Mexican war, and
belonged at different times to
three republics—Texas, Mex-
ico and the United States.
This gun was a brass six poun-
der, cast in Springfield, Mass.,
and presented by the ladies to
the Republic of Texas, then
engaged in a struggle for in-
dependence. It was a beauti-
ful piece of artillery, bright
as gold, and well proportioned.
It bad the figure of a star cut
on the brcech. *
This gun was a part of the
equipment of tl*e daring and
romantic "Santa Fe expedi-
tion," which, nearly fifty years
ago, started on a crusade for
the capture of New Mexico,
then cLtiineid as a portion of
the Republic of Texas. A full
account of this ill-fated expe-
dition wa« written by George
W. Kendall, of the New Or-
leans Picayune, who accom-
panied the expedition in their
long and dreary march. Those
wfio have read Kendall's book
will remember that after reach-
ing the litrle village of Anton
Chico, thirty or forty miles
southeast of Santa Fe, jthe
Texan , through the treachery
of one of their officers, wore
induced to lay down their
arms and to surrender as
prisoners of war to General
Armijq, the Govoruor of JS'ew
Mexico.
Instead of being trpnted as
prisoners of war the Tcxans
were subjected to most
inhuman i|nd l>arbarous
indignities. They were placed
under an escort commanded
by Captain Salezar, and
inarched on foot a long
distance, and then compelled
to work as s'aves in the mines.
On the march through Méxi-
co, they were furnished with
$he most meagre rations, a'
single ear of corn being
frequently the only food
allowed each lijan. When
one of the prisoners died
under tljw c 'uel treatment the
brutal Salezar caused his ears
to be cut off aud preserved as
proof that no one escaped.
Many of the hardy Texans
died on the route, and were
left oil the roadside to be de-
voured by 'the wolves and
vultures.
But to return to the "Lone
Star." This trophy was kept
by Armijo at Santa Fe, and
when the yr*r between the
¡■iíjPB
Jfóáutu
United States and Mexico
commenced, in 1846, it was
brought out for use against
log gringos. When General
Kearney, with a few regulars
and Missouri volunteers ap-
proached Santa Fe the first
opposition h® encountered
was in the narrow canyon a
short distance west of Las
Vegas. There A mijo collect-
ed his army, and the "Lone
Star" was placed in position
and loaded to (ire upon the
invaders. Amijo's position
was Hanked, however, and the
gun fell into the hands of the
Americans, but in a disabled
condition, for on retreating
the Mexicans built a fire
under it and burned the
mountings. General Kearney
captured Santa Fe without
the loss of a man, and passed
on to California, leaving the
"Lone Star" behind in,charge
of Colonel Doniphan.
The following year Gen-
eral Sterling Price was in
command ofXew Mexico,and
with a portion of his forces
started southward for Chihua-
hua over the same route that
Doniphan had marched a few
months previously In one
of the batteries was the Tex-
as gun; th(e "Lone Star," and
it was used to good effect in
the last battle of the Mexican
war, fought at Santa Cruz de
Rosales, si*ty miles south of
the city ot Chihuahua, March
16, 1*48. Peace was made
soon afterward, and Price
returned to Missouri, and his
volunteers were mustered out
at Independence in November,
1848. John A. Logan was a
Lieutenant in an Illinois
regiment, and performed his
first military service under
General Price.
What became of the "Lone
Star?" It was probably left
at Santa Fe, and may be there
still. If so it ought to be pre-
served as a relic among the
noted mementoes of the times
that tried men's souls.
HE GOT A LIGHT.
"J say, boss, wijd yez give
me a loight?" said an old
Irishman on Park row.
The gentleman looked
alternately at his freshly-
lighted, cigar and the half-fill-
ed bowl of the Irishman's
weather beaten dudeen, and a
look of disapprobation came
over bis face.
''Iinayhavea match," he
remarked.
He found one and handed it
over.
The Irishman crooked his
knee aud drew the match
slowly down his trousers' leg.
"O'iin thinkin'," he said,
"that (puff) yee musht ('puff)
be wan of (puff, puff) thiin
doods."—JJew York Sun.
