                    <text>REOOLLEOTIONS OF OADET LIFE FORTY YEARS .A.(10.
The emu: r-frlu and Janunry fellows would soon be spotted
aud eliminated. The Jauuary exnmiuation wns to be a
test for us Plebes, as to our fitness for the cadet's appoint­
ment. Hitherto we had received warrants only. "Bon­
ing'' for corporalcies next year was the chief ambition now.
There are certain phrases peculiur to West Point which
must be explained here. "Boning," means to study.
"Fess," to confess utter ignorance of a subject. "Fan,"
to excc·lL
"Max," maximum mark for the lesson.
"Zero," a total fess. " Mllth," mathematics. " Phil,"
philo30phy. "Chim," chemistry. "To run it," is to be
absent either from recitation or drilL "To wheaton it,"
is to sham sick. "To bugle it," is to linger at the black­
board until the bugle sounds for the next section.
The Winter is interlnrded with various amusements. In
November we had one day of grace for a fancy ball, which
would be given in the cockloft of tho north barracks.
Elabornte 1&gt;reparations were 1tlways mado for this festival,
and various characters assumed. I remember Seuecl\ Sim­
mons, a first classman, appearing as Ninny Harris, one
of our instructors of tactics. He was dressed entirely,
Cilp a pied, in Ninny's own uniform, and played the
character with all of Ninny's peculiarities. We had
theatricals, using two of the section rooms for this pur­
pose, The officers and their families would attcnu these,
and showed their appreciation by their applause. I re­
member or.ce "Kit" Hardia playing tho pnrt of a bewil­
dered cadet at the blackbo,ml. A blackboard hal been
placed on the st.1gt', and on it was written, in chalk, the
problem from Bourdon: a m - b m = a - b. Kit, when the
curtain rose, was discovered in cndet costume, standing
conwmplating the intricate problem. No one suspected
what was coming ; the professors stared and oraned their
necks, the cadets tittered. It was all an enigma. At
length Kit, turning to the audience, commenced :
"Bourdon, thou reasonest well I else whenoe this pleas­
ing hope, this fond de�ire, this longing after a good stand­
ing 1" etc,
I thought the audience would have gone distracted.
Kit was called out to repeat it. Old Dad Kendrick, he
who was, until lately, professor of chemistry, played in
the piece following the charactE;r of Bob Acres, and did it
as w12ll as ever I saw it.
One bea.utiful moonlight night a foot-race was announced
between Benny Roberts and some unknown. Ninny
Harris had been ascertained to be taking tea and spending
the evening with the surgeon. Benny's programme was
to loiter about, pretend to be making his way to Benny
Haveus's, and get a servant to whisper the fact into Lieu­
tenant Harris's ear. He would naturally sally forth to
catch the vilLtln, and the race would take pince.
As Benny bad caloulate,J, so the lieutenant oame out
from the house, beat around a litUe, Benny meanwhile
do,lging, as if to avoid discovery ; at length, getting a
glimp�, Harris started in pursuit, and this extraordinary
race was improvised then and there between officer and
cadet.. The audience, the whole corps of cadets, assem­
bled on the pavement in front of the barracks. The dis­
tance, about three hundred 71U'ds, tried the wind of both
competitors. Il11t, though the lieutenant pushed him
hard, Benny did full credit to the cheering corps, amongst
whom he rushed and malle good his esca1:e. The lieuten­
ant, enraged and out of breath, demanded, in inarticufate
words, who it WIIB; no answer; all ffed snickering to their
rooma, while the· 0N1Btfallen lieutenant, mortifie1 and
ashamed· of the precipitanoy which had made him the
laughing-a&amp;ook of the cadets, repaired to his castle, a small
octagon brick building, which stood on the flank .of the
north barracks, aiid about dfty yards from it,

15

It was this same castle that Cadet Norris bombarded
with a battery of six miniature mortars he had constructed
out of the swlllS of old bras3 flat candlesticks, using cade,
bullet-buttons for shells. The battery was established in
one of his windows, and such a volley was rained around the
premises that "Ninny" was loath to show his face. The
perpetrntor of this " outrage" was never discovered, bu,
it was commented upon, commended and laughed at in
high qunrters. Poor Norris was dismissed in his gradu­
ating year, anu. became a distinguished civil engineer.
Tue o.1tlets were surrounded with spies and scouts, but
they managed to circumvent them all, and the more rigid
the discipline the more persistent the oad�ts became in
contriving the means of circumventing the oillcers. Some
of these, becoming ob!loxious, were designated by hard
sobriquets, such as "Ninny Harris," "Dickey the Pun­
ster," "Brute W nggaman," etc., etc., while othen, more
forbearing in their discipline, were adored.
We had our favorites, too, amongst the •�strikers" at­
tached in various employments to tho Acndemy. There
was Dan Avery, tho bugler, and Si, or "Sloptub," hia
brother, and Tommy Cox, the fireman, a dwarfish kind of
fellow, but a giant in his way; and old Wallace, the fifer,
grown gray in the service; and "Peter lt," a stalwart
darkey, whom the boys thought to be of neuter gender,
hence the name. He was a glorious follow I lived in a
cellar at the west end of the "old south," aud would oo­
casionally provide suppers for his favorite9, sub rosa.
Thou there was "Joe, the barber," he who is father or
grandfather to the darkies who w. ro chums of Cadet Whit­
taker, the colored boy of Afric11n descent. Joe has been
promoted of late years to suporintenclent of the cadets'
bathrooms. All these were groat favorites, and would do
trifling jobs for their orony oadets, such as 11muggling to
them a bunch of Havanas or a bottle of the "ardent.."
Christmas was n notable day, all the officers disappra,:,.
ing, and giving the barracks up to the devices of the
cadets, and such a jolly time they would have, assembled
in populur rooms, ainging, dancing and oarousing ; awak­
ing in the morning to their recitations with red eyes and
haggard fac11s.
On one occasion a few choice spirits-Cock Rodney, Kil
Hardia and Ziph GranJin-undertook the arduous job of
bringing from the "plain" the six-pounder used for firing
the morning and evening gnn, and carrying it up foar
flights of stairs to the "cock-loft," to ft.re it out of the
hall window. The gun was duly loadetl and primed, and,
but for the sudden intervention of an inspector, would
have been fired. Tue actors in this desperate scheme got
off scot-free. The authorities were greatly puzzled next
morning in getting the piece down-11tai.rs, tho polioe party
employed in the operation not understanding the rationala,,
and they were continually mocked M and jeered by passinf
catlots.
Now comes the June examination, with all its doubts
and fears and perturbations, and buck-fever withaL .U
this examination cadets who are "fountl," and have nol
exceeding. two hundred "demerit," are "turned baok,"
llild commence the course again in the new clruis, thu
running five instead of four years, before graduating.
The examination is conducte(l with the most rigid exact­
itude before the Board of Visitors and the Academio
Board, by sections beginning with the first cl81!8, and
thence downward to the fourth. The first class through
parades, reviews, firing with big gnns at a target, and
mort.irs on the plain at a barrel ; then ft.reworks, with
pyrotechny of their own manufacture ; then the relief of
the clnss in f{��lll'.Bl orde ; and as-a ]n1_!5.1le, the sacrifioial
