A pair of eye-glasses belonging
to Alexander Hamilton Stephens,

Senator from Georgia, Governor
and Historian, is in the poSkession of
a Federal soldier from North Da
kota, who is now in Jacksonville. Fie.,
and can be had by any member of
Mr. Stephens' family . or any Sou
thern . historical society desiring
them.
While In Jacksonville recently
Mr. Hardman Wade, of this county,
met a Mr. Vaughn, of North Dakoti.
Mr. Vaughn was with Sherman in
his march through Georgia and the
glasses were given him -in 1886 by
Lieut. Peck, an engineer in

motion boards and then the obliga- ]
tion will pass on down the line as!
long as men are needed.
Each number drawn will call out
4.000 men or one for each reg is- 1
tration district
The first number drawn will de-1
trrmine what man in each district I
is to be taken' first. If it be No. 10,
for example, it will mean that the
in each district bolding card I
10 will be called for examina
tion before any of the other men
ir that district.
The second drawn will determine
what man in' each district " is to be'
taken second, and so on as long as
needed. Those not nefted
for the fi^st war army will retain
their positions on the lists and these
positions will determine the order
of their liability \ when they are
needed.
The drawing wall be public and
each number wHl be announced as;
is drawn.
Obviously there will be no high;
numbers drawn for which there are
corresponding registrants in I
small districts. The smallest dis-1
trlct in the country Is understood
have but 187 registrants and the
largest about 7.000. Whenever a

Petrograd. July 13—The Russian armies have swept fif
teen miles beyond Kalusz. in pursuit of Austro-Germana.
W hen the Ruauns occupied Kalunz after forcing a paaa-
:ige of the Lomnici they had advanced twenty miles north-
westward from Stagfelau in five days. In the same time the
Eighth Russian any took Halicz and crossed the Dniester
there and began al advance between Stanislau and Bohorod-
line south of the Wester and the/army headquarters in that
rtgion was occupiai i n the taking of Kalusz.
The taking of Halicz. Tuesday was a threat against the
Austro-German lint northward through Brzezany along the
Zlora Lipa and thteroasing of the Lomnica and an advance
bsyond is a blow to the security of the line protecting Lem
berg. Should the lussian advance west of Stanislau continue
unchecked and shcald large Russian forces be thrown across
the Dniester in theregion of Halicz, the Zlot* Lipa line, un
broken by the Rusian onslaught of July 1, would be turned
making a general wtirement inevitable.
On the southed end of the Stanislau front, which (a the
foothills of the Caipathians. the Russians are not advancing
as rapidly as on the northern end. The enemy is taking ad-
antage of the hiQy country and has checked momentarily
attacks west of Boliorodozany.

cellor. reports in Girman newspapers Bay, has resigned. The
