The senate and boose committee

The American fighter is a terror
under whatever circumstances he may

A Texas commercial olob has agreed

Texas cotton and present it to the
government to be made into gun cot*

A German scientist has discovered
that the human memory is better in
summer than in winter. He also says
that among the worst foes of memory
are too much food, too much physical
exercise and too much education.

An enthusiastic American has dis*

The Oregon seems destined to make

she comes mighty close to it.
There has been a rise in the market
value of wives in Natal, South Africa,
Before the rindepest killed so many
cattle the quotation was eleven head

bead now represents £132. [lt is being
urged that the government should fix

the present, and should make it a rule
that the money equivalent may be
paid where cattle are unprocurable.
The passage of the H&waiian resolu

the count, is now simply a question cf
endurance. If the opponents can
protract the debate until the close of

liberating, but the majority of the sen

GENERAL PRACTICE.
The prospective removal of the Geor
gia regimenji to the frontal an early
day will bring the war right homo to
ue, says the Savannah News. The lists
of wounded and dead are now scanned
with sincere sympathy for those in
other states who are called upon to
mourn their losses. Within a short
time we shall be eagerly reading those
lists which may, and probably will,
bring poignant grief into our own
community. However, this is war,
and “war i. bell.” Those Who remain
behind must be brave as well as those
who go to the front.

After three or four years of canvass
ing, the attempt in North Carolina to
raise among the negroes of the South
$50,000 with which to build a cotton
mill to be officered and manned en
tirely by negroes, has practically
failed, and subscriptions are now being
asked from white capitalists. The
probabilities are that upon its new
baria the scheme will go through. Bev
eral cotton mill owners have sub
scribed, in order that the value of ne
gro.help iu cotton mills may be tested.

Grant Drilliac the Home Militia.
Grant left West Point in midsummer
and speht his furlough in Bethel and
Georgetown. He was invited by the offi
cers of the militia to drill the troops at
* ‘general muster, ’ ’ which took place at
Rusaelsville during August of 1844.
William Wilson and Peter Wamax are
two of the few witnesses living who re
member the splendid occasion.
It impressed itself ineffaceably on
young Wilson’s mind because it seemed
wonderful, even revolutionary, to see a
young lad such as Cadet Grant looked,
ordering the pompous old officers about.
“He looked very young, very slender
vid very pale.
“He was dressed in a long blue coat,
with big epaulets and big brass buttons,
and his trousers seemed to be white,
though they may have been a light gray.
He wore a cap and a red sash around his
waist, and he rode his horse in fine style.
“I was particularly struck with his
voice—that is, his way of using it. The
old men barked out their commands.
You couldn’t tell what they said Noise
seemed to be their idea of command,
but Grant’s voice was clear and calm
and cut across the parade ground with
great precision. It was rather high in
pitch, but it was trained. I could tell
that, though I was only a boy. ’ ’—Ham
lin Garland iu McClure’s Magazine.

As compound results are the source of life of all the old line companies,
what is best for the company should be best for the insured. And for best
results tvke a policy in the grand old MUTUAL LIFE.
Fathers see to it that the daughter, the pride of your heart, when as

And to the patriotic soldier who feels called upon to avenge the wrongs

president, Bichard A. McCurdy:
"I wish you to assure every policy-holder in this Company
that his rights will be fully protected under all circumstances
and tha no one need hesitate to respond to the call of patriot
ism or duty through fear of the forfeiture of his policy.
