One of the most important features of

ouragement to improvements which
.'ill thoroughly open the young repub

U; and the combination formed
lonths ago for the extension
f our railroads into Mexican

o active work. That paper also thinks
here is untold wealth in Mexico for
hose who are quick and keen enough to

• The War Department has received
i official notice of the death of Col onel
: Thomas L. Alexander, one of the Mexi
an veterans who died a few days ago,
,t the Galt House, Louisville, Kentucky,
ie was born in Virginia in 1804. At
he age of 26 he was graduated from
Vest Point Military Academy, after
vhich he entered the United States
nmy. He was a soldier in the war with
he Florida Indians, and also in the
Mexican war. For several years he was
Governor of the Soldiers’ Home, at
Elarrodsburg, Kentucky. Then for six
fears he was in charge of the Soldiers’
Home at Washington. In 1863 he re
ared from the army and has since been
pensioner. His death makes three va
cancies in the retired list of the army.
Vennor says the winter is not over yet
,by any means. He thus puts it: “There
are yet at least three storm periods in
this month, namely, on the 12th, 13th or
14th, on the 16th and 17th, and lastly on
the 20th or 21st The latter two periods
■will give heavy snow falls, one of which
is likely to be the heaviest fall of the
winter. This will be pretty general over
a large part of North America, and is
likely to cross over to Great Britain.
There will be also one more cold spell of
! considerable severity. The month will
end with rain and slush.” St. Patrick’s
day, it will be seen, is included in one of
the storm periods.

Another Advocate of a Modified Rail
road Commission Law.
We have already noted the fact that
the Albany Sett* and Advertuer, hereto
fore a staunch supporter of the present
Railway Commission law of Georgia, has
recently changed its base, and—having
come to the conclusion that said law is in
equitable, unjust, and fraught with dan
ger to the best interests of the State—is
now an earnest supporter of an advisory
commission, which will be an umpire
between the roads on one side and the
people on the other. We are now called
upon to note another and significant in
stance of a similar change of opinion.
The Americus Sumter Republican,
which, from the first, has been one of
the most ultra advocates of the present
law. has also seen the error of its ways.
In its issue of Saturday last, that paper
still avers its decided friendship for a
commission, but expresses the opinion
that the present law is too arbitrary and
that it should be modified. It says:
“The first objection to the present bill
is the unlimited discretionary power
vested in the Commissioners, virtually
and practically taking the management
of railroads out of hands appointed by
stockholders, and placing it in hands
of State officials. The bill is now work
ing admirably, and could we always have
such men as now fill these responsible
offices, no objection could be urged, but
as they are not continuous, we must pro
vide for the contingency of having cor
rupt and incompetent men in office. If
such provision is not made, and this
absolute power allowed to remain in the
hands of State officials, how can we rea
sonably expect capital to have confidence
in our railway investments. It can have
but one result—to drive capital from us.
No new roads will be built, and our vast
resources undeveloped will remain so.”
This change of opinion of our Ameri
cus contemporary is specially worthy of
note. It was Americus more than any
other city in the State which first com
plained of unjust discriminations to its
prejudice by the Central Railroad; it was
a member of the Legislature from Ameri
cus who was prominently active in favor
ing and securing the passage of the Rail
road Commission act, and the Sumter
Republican, during the time that act
was being considered by the Legislature,
as well as after its passage was, as we
have said, a most strenuous advocate and
supporter of the measure.
We are convinced that a large ma
jority of our State exchanges will, if
they examine into the matter closely and
dispassionately, follow the example of
our Albany and Americus contempora
ries, and acquiesce in the views which
the News has always expressed on this
subject. The glaring injustice of a law
which permits the management of pri
vate property, valued at millions
of dollars, to be taken from its
owners and vested in three disinter
ested officials; the almost absurdity
of the proposition that any three
men, no matter who they are, can suc
cessfully manage a vast and complicat
ed system of railways when even an
army of trained officials find it difficult
to do so, and the great danger, amount
ing almost to a certainty, that such a
law must effectually crush out all rail
way enterprise in the State, cannot but
have a legitimate effect both upon the
press and people of Georgia.
The Sumter Republican, in giving its
adherence to the passage of a Jaw re
pealing the present and establishing an
advisory commission similar to that re
cently established in Alabama after ma
ture reflection on the subject by the
Legislature of that State, appropriately
cites the case of Massachusetts, where
an advisory commission has long been
in force, and where there is but one com
missioner, Mr. Charles Francis Adams.
There the law has been found to work to
the satisfaction of all concerned, and
Mr. Adams says in no instance has a
railroad ever refused to comply with a
recommendation of the commission.
Give Georgia a similar law and there
would be no further complaints, either
from the roads or the people.
The St. Louis Republican thinks that
the national banks who so eagerly gave
up their circulation for the purpose of
bulldozing Congress, and frightening
Hayes into vetoing the funding bill, will
have to pay pretty dearly for their little
game. It says: “Some of those hasty
bank Presidents who deluged the Trea
sury with greenbacks in order to drown
the 3 per cent, refunding bill, begin to
appreciate the fact that they will have
to pay very dearly for their success
in that experiment. They killed
the bill, but they killed all their
old notes, too, so that if they want
circulation these dignified Presidents
will have to buckle down to the
task of signing a lot of new notes.
Banks that have had several hundred
thousand dollars of circulation will not
be pleasant places to frequent until this
heavy work of signing new notes is done.
The luxuriously inclined officers cannot
delegate this duty to their clerks, but
their own sign manual must go on the
notes. Circulation is sufficiently profita
ble also to make it reasonably certain
that the great majority of the old notes
retired will be replaced with new ones.”
Mahone declared publicly in the Senate
on the day that he received his very dis
agreeable initiation into that body, that he
was not a Democrat but a “Readjuster.”
Now what does that mean? Simply that
he had been elected by a party in Vir
ginia, formed by a coalition of Radicals
and a faction of whites opposed to the
Democracy, for the purpose of forcibly
readjusting the State debt, or, in other
words, repudiating a portion of that debt
Yet the Republican press, which has so
long and lustily howled about Southern
repudiation, are now patting Mahone on
the back and lauding him to the skies,
while it is even rumored that the United
States Executive proposes to assist him
in building up and strengthening his re
pudiation party. This, if true, added
to the appointment of Windom—who is
from Minnesota, an out-and out repudi
ating State—to a Cabinet position, looks
as if President Garfield intended to in
augurate a repudiation administration,
notwithstanding his inaugural. In view
of all these facts, it is eminently appro
priate once more to remark that consis
tency is a jewel.
It is stated that considerable feeling
exists among the New York Hibernian
Societies because of the declination of
the 69th Regiment to participate in the
parade to day in honor of St Patrick’s
day. The reason given for this action
of the regiment is that it, as a member
of the National Guard, is prohibited, by
order of the Adjutant General of the
State, from participating in any parades
or processions not strictly military. The
societies, however, are not satisfied with
this explanation and charge the regiment
with getting “aristocratic.” The ar
rangements for the celebration have pro
gressed favorably in every other respect.
The State Senate of Illinois adopted
the other day a resolution of thanks to
President Garfield for having appointed
Mr. Robert Lincoln Secretary of War.
The Democratic members of the Senate
made the resolution unanimous by voting
for it with apparent hearty good will.
The Monetary (oafereace.
The appointment by President Gar
field of Messrs. Evarts, Howe and Thur
man to represent the United States Gov
ernment at the new monetary conference,
soon to be held in Paris, has given fresh
impetus to the discussion of a
bi-metallic standard of currency,
and very great interest is being
manifested in the subject The indica
tions also point to the fact that the univer
sal remonetization of silver will be much
more favorably received than when the
subject was presented before the Inter
national Monetary Convention, which
was held soon after the passage of the
law creating our present silver dollar.
We read that most of the English
financial journals are willing to admit
that a powerful hi metallic union would
exert a great influence upon the market
ratio of gold and silver, but at the same
time advise the British Government to
hold aloof from the conference. This
seems to be very strange advice, for of
ali countries in the world Great Britain
has peculiar reasons for using all its in
fluence to prevent silver depreciation.
Her immense Eastern business is nearly all
transacted upon a silver basis, that metal
being the only recognized currency of
the Orient, and, as an exchange
well remarks, “it is impossible
to conceive of anything that would so
rapidly and totally demoralize Great
Britain’s Eastern commerce as a mate
rial depreciation in the value of silver.”
It is, however, generally believed in
France, Germany and the United States
that if a bi-metallic union, such as is
contemplated, can be formed, it will
have the desired effect, even though
England refuses to join in, and that if
such a union is effected, the British Gov
ernment would be as well pleased with
the result as any member of the union,
for then the combined influence of the
great powers participating in the confer
ence would be exerted to maintain a uni
form ratio of value between gold and
silver, and thus secure a stable basis
upon which to carry on the Oriental
trade.
The chances for the formation of such
aunion are, evidently, much more
favorable now than they have ever been.
In the first place nations which hereto
fore have looked upon the proposition
coldly are now anxious for it. Germa
ny has accepted an invitation to be pres
ent and participate in the proceedings on
certain conditions, and even England has
expressed a willingness to do likewise
provided tha form of the invitation to do
so is so changed so as not to make her ac
ceptance a committal to the bi-metallic
movement. In the next place it is stated
that the conditions of the financial situ
ation are more favorable for the success
of the movement than formerly. The
United States, France, Italy, the other
members of the Latin Union, and Austria
and Russia would join the union, and
possibly Germany. Italy, Austria and
Russia, all of which nations suspended
specie payment years ago, are now
very anxious to resume, and
are making preparations for re
sumption. They have paper money
equivalent in amount to more than one
thousand million dollars, and their total
supply of full legal-tender coin is esti
mated at no more than $170,000,000 in
gold and $50,000,000 in silver, of which
probably not more than one-half is
immediately available for resump
tion purposes. To successfully main
tain specie payments, they must
obtain certainly not much less
than $200,000,000 in gold or silver, or
both, in addition to their present supply.
Here alone is demand enough to absorb
all the visible supply and much more be
sides. With this demand at the agreed
rate of nearly 61d. per ounce, there will
assuredly be no reason why lower rates
should be accepted. The enlarged use
of silver as money would legitimately
affect the market ratio, and would, no
doubt, establish it pretty firmly at the
agreed ratio.
This new monetary conference is re
garded as one of the most important
events to the financial and commercial
world likely to occur in the near future,
but to no section of the country is it of
more importance than to the South. By
reference to an extract elsewhere pub
lished, from the last monthly circular of
Smith, Edwards & Cos., of Liverpool, it
will be seen that in the opinion of that
firm, should the Paris conference succeed
in the formation of a powerful bi-metallic
union in whole or in part, the prospects
for an active cotton trade would be
greatly improved, and this would offset
to great degree the low prices which it
is generally anticipated will be the result
of a good season and a large crop next
year. The reason of this is obvious.
Should the bi-metallic standard be
generally adopted, the effect would
be to make money more easy,
and give impetus to industrial
enterprises, besides causing an increase
in consumption. On the other hand,
should the Paris conference fail, the
money market would certainly be no
less stringent abroad than at present,
and hence, with an increased crop of
good cotton, and with consumption not
greatly improved, prices must decline.
This proposed conference, therefore, is
a subject in which the South is vitally
concerned, and its deliberations will be
watched by our people with great in
terest
Grant, it is said, has expressed him*,
self in very positive terms regarding the
preposterousness of De Lesseps’ proposed
Panama canal schema He thinks the
work will cost $1,000,000,000, and says:
“The Chagres river when in flood is as
large a body of water as the Ohio at
flood, and yet De Lesseps proposes to
stop this river by a dam 140 feet high,
only letting a little water out into a
ditch which is to run along by the side
of the canal. The floods of the Chagres
cover the whole valley from mountain to
mountain to a height of twelve feet
above the top of the banks of the pro
posed canal. The idea of stopping such
a flood with a dam and backing the
water up to let it evaporate
is absurd. The result would be
that half the length of the canal
would be broken or washed completely
away every year in the wet season and
rebuilt at a cost of millions during the dry
season, only to be destroyed again. The
only feasible route for a canal from the
Atlantic to the Pacific is by the Nicara
gua route. I have been over all the
routes myself, besides having examined
all the reports made regarding each of
them carefully, and that is my firm
conviction.”
When the respective experiences of
De Lesseps and Grant in canal construc
tion are considered, the above sapient
opinion of the ex-President may be taken
for what it is worth.
Political parties in California are now
divided into “Slickens” and “Anti-
Slickens.” The soft mud washed down
into the streams by hydraulic mining is
called “slickens.” Back of slickens is
an obnoxious “debris law.” Just think
of the politicians of the Golden State
getting into slickens twenty feet deep,
Dennis Kearney should be persuaded to
take a header.

PROFITS OF BROKERS.
Howe ol the Wax* 1b 0 hUb noner
la Hade U Wall Street.
Jietc Fork Sun.
A Wall street broker, with a taste for
figures outside of those of the stock list
of the Exchange, or the tape of the indi
cator, indulged yesterday in a computa
tion as to the cash value of the Ex
change and its belongings in these flush
times.
“Beginning with the Exchange itself,”
he said, “we have a very nice bit of
property to consider. When the en
largement and other extensive improve
ments are completed, the Exchange will
be a superb affair, and well worthy of
the enormous business that is done in it.
I think that the Exchange could safely
be put down, when the repairs are made,
at fully $1,500,000. Now, we’ll con
sider the value of ‘seats’ in the board.
It’s all a fiction, you know, about seats,
for no one has a seat except the presiding
officer or a chap who is smart enough
to slip into one of the few cushioned
arm chairs around the sides of the room,
which are usually monopolized by the
old fellows who can’t stand the pum
melling, pushing, shoving and climbing
in the centre of the room as well as they
could a few years ago. Well, a seat is
now worth S32,<XW, cash or check.
There are about 1,100 seats, worth, in
round numbers,'s#s,2oo,ooo. No indi
vidual can own, or at least use, more
than one seat. The same rule applies to
a firm. One member of the firm is
usually spoken of as ‘the member who
goes into the board.’ The privilege may
to a confidential clerk. Just
to‘show how valuable a seat is as a mat
ter of investment. I’ll tell you a little
story. A young clerk worked hard and
saved his money. When seats were
worth less than $5,000, and that is not a
great many years ago, he bought a seat.
A firm that had just been organized of
fered him & round sum a year for the
use of his privilege. He accepted the
offer, being nominally a member of the
firm, but really only entitled
to the income from his seat
He was transformed at once from an
illy paid employe into a young gentle
man of leisure. Some years ago, when
the silver mining excitement broke out
in California, he went there, but his in
come was regularly remitted. The firm
has grown to be a big one, but it prefers
not to change the old arrangement. The
young man, having an assured income to
back him up, has prospered in California
and bids fair to be a very rich man. In
fact, even at the present price, there is
no better investment for money than a
seat in the board, provided that the in
vestor is a man of agreeable manners,
and has a knowledge of the ways of the
street, or associate himself with a man
who has. It is not improbable that the
price of a seat will rise, within the year,
to $50,000, if the tide of general pros
perity continues to strengthen, for the
volume of business transacted daily upon
the exchange is tremendous and is steadi
ly swelling. Why, a day when 500,000
shares of stock are sold and bought is an
average day now. The commissions on
this buying and selling are $25 for every
100 shares, or $125,000 for the day’s
business—an average of more than SIOO
a day apiece to the 1,100 brokers.
“Why, I’ll tell you something that
very few people know, and that is that a
broker who has a fair business relies
upon his interest account alone to pay
his whole office expenses. Russell Sage,
probably the largest operator in stocks
in the world, the boys tell me, expects
them to divide their commission witb
him when they drop in for a dicker over
a privilege, and that this little ‘side
speculation’ braces him up for all his
business expenses. So, you see, the
commissions in a well regulated office
are clear profit. By the interest account
in a broker’s office I mean the percent
age that a broker usually charges for
carrying your stock for you until you
are ready to sell out, or to get sold out,
if your margin runs down too low to
make the broker’s commission and inter
est a sure thing. The banks are very liber
al in their discounts to members of
the exchange. A broker can get money,
as a rule, even in tight times, at a rate
that leaves him a considerable margin of
profit in charging interest to the custom
er. A good many firms, of course, don’t
charge any interest, but that is because
their profits from commissions are so
large that they don’t care about such a
trine as the interest on the money tha 1
they pay for the stock they buy for a
customer. Those are the kind of brokers
who have customers who buy and sell
25,000 shares of stock in a day, without
getting within gunshot of the limit of
their capital. 1 know of one such house
that has a customer who not only keeps
up a stiff margin, but lends the firm his
check for a million or two whenever
they want to even up their heavy stock
account at the close of a trying day’s
business.
“Then, too, every member of the board
is good for SIO,OOO worth of life insur
ance if he is in good standing in the ex
change at his death. That means simply
if he is a member, for we don’t try to
void life insurance down here as they do
in some palatial structures in Broadway,
where the uncontested payments to the
survivors of policy holders are the least
item in the enormous aggregate of re
ceipts and expenses, upon any techni
cality. Upon the death of a member,
every living member is assessed $lO.
That pays SIO,OOO cash and no fooling,
and leaves a margin that goes into a sur
plus insurance fund that has already got
to respectable proportions. The money
is paid over by a special committee to
the widow, or nearest of kin, ordina
rily, within three days after the
death of the member. So, you see,
membership in the exchange, with the
sense of partnership in a great number
of millions of dollars’ worth of property
and daily business, the splendid oppor
tunities, granting the possession of a
clear and well-balanced head and a
steady nerve, of making a large income,
and the certainty of the payment of a snug
sum to one’s heirs after one’s death, is a
neat thing. Judging from my own expe
rience and that of my friends, there is
nothing neater, for, with skillful man
agement, a broker may get aloDg with
very little money besides that which his
customers put up as margin. The profits
of turning over 500,000 shares a day are,
of course, not equally divided among
the brokers. But the small fry have a
better show in Wall street, probably,
than anywhere else in the world
because the rate of profit for a broker's
services is fixed, and the broker who
makes SIOO,OOO a year gets no more for
handling 100 shares than the broker
whose income is only SIO,OOO. All de
pends upon customers. They are allured,
though they are men, as a rule, by at
tractive surroundings as well as agree
able manners. This is getting to be well
understood now, and an era of luxury in
office furnishing has begun in Wall street.
Very few customers, dealing in 100 shares
at a time, suffice to pay expenses and to
assure a handsome profit. Why, a young
friend of mine, who had an obscure little
office in a dingy building, and half a
dozen customers, cleared S3OO a day in
commissions for ninety days at the begin
ning of last year. That was just $27,-
000. It enabled him to branch out, and
bring about him a better class of custo
mers, and to-day he is on the high road
to wealth. You can judge from this
how much money the big fellows make.
Why, if brokers didn’t speculate, they’d
get rich in a very few years. ”
The hatred of Germans and the Ger
man language in Hungary and Bohemia
displays itself in public and private, in
society and business. A manufacturing
house of Vienna received an order writ
ten in Bohemian, which no one in the
establishment could decipher. They re
turned it to the writer with the explana
tion that they have correspondents who
are familiar with French, English and
Italian, but have never had occasion to
use the services of one who understands
Bohemian. The order was thereupon
sent to them again written in French,
and that is now the language in which
all correspondence between the parties is
conducted.
Cetywayo, the Zulu ex-King, is to be
released from his close confinement in
Cape Town Castle, and allowed to live
on a farm in the neighborhood of the
city. He will thus, in all probability,
become a neighbor of the Natal chief,
Langalib&lele, who has for some years
been provided with a similar residence.
So far as health and beauty of surround
ings is concerned, Cetywayo will have
nothing to complain of. Elis dwelling
will be in the midst of a dir, breeze

GENERAL GORDON
At tfe* Hancock Banquet In New
York.
At the banquet given Gen. W. S. Han
cock at the Manhattan Club, New York,
last Saturday night, Gen. J. B. Gordon
being present and called on for a speech,
responded, in effect, as follows:
“Mr. President: I could name very
many reasons why I ought not to have
been called upon. I can name but one
excuse even for having been called upon,
and that is that I know General Hancock
better than any man at this table [Ap
plause.] Some of you have known him
very much longer, doubtless, but none
of you know him so well. I made his
acquaintance fifteen or eighteen years
ago under circumstances calculated to
impress me with that acquaintance.
[Laughter.] I made it in smoke, and
clouds, and in blood, far away in
the Wilderness of Virginia, on the banks
of the Rapidan. I felt General Han
cock, aDd knew him then. [Laughter
and applause]. Afterward when those
scenes which had introduced me to him
had passed and he was clothed with the
double power not only of a commander
of armies, but of civil administration
over the people with whose lot my own
had been cast, and when he had issued
that celebrated order, which not only
was worthy of him and of the party
which he recently represented, but of
the spirit of Republican liberty. [Great
applause]. I not only knew him better
then, but I loved him; and from that
hour until his name was placed upon
the banner at Cincinnati in June
last, and afterwards, I looked upon
that man and the grand sentiments of
liberty he had uttered as the emblem of
freedom for the down trodden people
with whom my lot had been cast.
[Applause.] I was present on the grand
occasion at Cincinnati when he was
nominated for the Presidency; and as
soon after that event as I could reach a
telegraph office, the sentiment which
thrilled my heart and every fibre of my
being found expression In my pen, when
I sent a telegram to him: ‘Thank God
for your nomination. May the God of
Liberty grant that you shall be the man
who shall lead together the estranged
brothers of the country.’ [Applause.]
I wanted to greet him as a Southern
soldier who had fought him. [Great
applause.]
“And now I want to tell you one
thing for you to carry home with you:
Remember that the South has stood true
to your banners. Unite among your
selves, stand firmly by your principles,
and we will help you yet to bear some
such man as the one who faces me to
victory; and thus we may yet together
save the institutions of our common
country.” [Great applause.]
An Unprejudiced Englishman Abroad
T. B. Wilkinson, Banker , in Manchester City
News.
The great fact which was ever present
to my mind, and which was brought
home to me in a thousand ways, from
the morning I stepped upon the quay by
the Hudson river and was acCosted by a
custom house officer, to the day I em
barked on my return home, was the
American people. There, separated from
us only by the ocean, are fifty millions
of people, speaking our language, work
ing hard late and early, prospering and
happy, self-governed and strong. Un
consoled by the presence of a State
church, and yet possessing more places
of worship per head of popula
tion than elsewhere; unprotected
by a great costly standing
army or navy, and yet secure; and even
destitute of an aristocracy with heredi
tary privileges and power, yet uncon
scious of their poverty. To travel in
the United States is to witness the full
meaning of the civilization of the nine
teenth century, untrammelled by preju
dice or precedent. Do not let this be
misconstrued into speaking in a strain
derogatory of my own country. It is
not so intended, for I am sufficiently an
tiquated, and unequal to the task of di
vesting myself of what may be called
prejudice, to still believe that the best
outcome of civilization is yet to be found
among English gentlefolk, where culture
has gone hand in hand with breed. And
I have an instinctive repugnance to
nickel and veneer of all kinds.
Lord Beaconsfield in his recent produc
tion, “Endymion,” has gone out of his
way to use a double-shotted sneer. He
makes one of his high-born characters
suggest the supposition that society in
America is very like society in Manches
ter. And yet these American people,
like the working and middle classes of
England, have done great things not
withstanding much opposition from the
patrician class. To my mind ODe of the
sublimest episodes in the history of na
tions was seen after the suppression of
the Southern slaveholders, revolt against
the United States, when a vast and
excited army, flushed with victory,
was rapidly disbanded and its sol
diers returned to their peaceful
avocations as citizens. Nor was
the example of the United States
Government less striking for its magnan
imity when they forgave and set free
the leading rebels, who had caused the
expenditure of an unparalleled amount
of blood and treasure. To their honor,
also, be it remembered that they were
willing to submit important claims to
arbitration with respect to the pirate ship
Alabama, built and launched in one of
our chief ports, and which thence sailed
forth on the high seas to burn and
destroy the property of a friendly nation.
These were two examples which will not
be without effect in future history.
The people of the United States are
the most instructed people in the world,
and among the most law-abiding. The
school house of New England was not
planted in vain, and I hope it will be
jealously guarded from priestly interfer
ence to all future time. There was sown
the little seed which germinated and
grew into the tree of liberty, and the
defense of which has lifted the United
States to a foremost place in the nations
of the earth. They are a nation of
workers. Time will bring leisure when
art will grow upon American soil.
There is even now no English poet who
is more read and whose combination of
mind and feeling has a deeper hold on
the affections of the multitude than
Longfellow; and for his cheery, delight
ful companionship, who can compare
with Oliver Wendell Holmes? The
American character has some blemishes
which time may change. Like the newly
made rich in the old world there is too
frequently a self-assertive tone which is
not pleasant, and a want of deference
which is painful to witness. But these
are perhaps the exuberance of strength,
and as time goes on an increased leisure
may bring greater tranquillity of life and
a repose of mind fruitful of good results.
Already I see the beginning of the new
age—that activity in intellectual work
which continually applies itself to prac
tical affairs, and which has given us the
sewing machine, the steam plough, the
improved printing press, and a perfect
host of inventions for economizing hn
man labor will never pass away, but may
in other generations work out its subtle
life in creative art.
A Guest Who Asked No Questions.
Boston Journal, March 5.
It was during the Peninsula campaign,
just before the battle of Williamsburg,
that Gen. McClellan had issued an order
forbidding foraging under penalty of se
vere punishment. A section of artillery
had been supported by the Fifty-sixth
New York Volunteer Infantry in a little
skirmish late in the evening, and owing
to some misunderstanding Ihe infantry
and artillery were left on the picket line
till a late hour without any rations.
Darkness had closed in and a farm
yard in the vicinity offered too great a
temptation for the hungry artillerymen
to resist. Soon the fragrant aroma of
roast pig drew more than one officer to
the vicinity of the improvised barbecue.
Among others was Col Van Wyck, the
senior officer in command. He was
asked by one of the improvised camp
cooks if he would partake of the menu.
“Certainly,” replied the Colonel, and
with sharpened appetite he at once took
hold of the luscious roast porcine ribs.
Suddenly a staff officer rode upon the
scene. With an unmistakable French
twang he said: “With de compliments
of the General commanding, I wish to
know who kilt dis roast hog?” “Tell
the General commanding,” roared Col.
Van Wyck, stretching his tall form to
its utmost altitude, “that Colonel Van
Wyck never inqutres who the butcher
is when he sits down to a gentleman’s
table.” The staff officer was the Comte
de Paris, of Gen. McClellan’s staff. No
further inquiry was ever instituted into
the mystery of the foraging expedition.
SrBfITITCTE FOR Sea BaTHING.—
People who hare no opportunity to en
joy aea bathing will be glad to know
that a substitute, nearly if not quite as
strengthening, i3 found in an ammonia
bath." A gill of ammonia in a pail of
water makes an invigorating solution
whose delightful effects can only be
compared to a plunge in the surf. To
weak persons this is recommended as an
incomparable luxury and tonic. It
cleanses the skin and stimulates it won
derfully, and leaves the flesh as firm and
cool as marble. More than this, the
ammonia purifies the body from all odor
of perspiration.
