DRILL.
Tne Gpey> , rr-ami
Monday night at Patterson’s hall the
much talked of prise drill of the Spald¬
ing Greys took place. A good sized
audience was present who evinced
their appreciation of the fine work
put up by the men on this occasion
by the liveliest applause. Precisely
at 8:45 o’clock the squad, under the
command of Capt. J. T. Stephenson,
entered the hall and at 9 o’clock the
contest began. The squad was com-
posed of ten men, all of whom were
up to the manuel of arms, and it
was seenJby all at the outset that the
Judges would have no- easy task in
the work laid out before them. Alter
a preliminary practice of 15 minutes,
the contest was announced ready and
the judges took their stations and
the work began to earnest.
The captain, who was also drill
master, put them through the move¬
ments to every conceivable way “ d
the astonishing precision of each
movement attested the excellence of
their commanding officer.
The drill had lasted just one hour
when the rank was reduced down to
three men, they being 1st Seargeant
Sears and privates Pickering and
Powell. Of these Powell went down
first and Pickering next, leaving
Sears winner of the first prize, #25
in cash with Pickering second, #10
and Powell third, #8.50.
The prizes were delivered by Judge
W. C. Beeks to a neat, well-timed
speech, to which he paid a beautiful
tribute to the old Spalding Greys.
This concluded the exercises for the
evening. The judges were M. D.
Mitchell, Tom Hatton and Tom Hast¬
ings, whose decisions were satisfacto¬
ry all around.
COLONEL FELLOWS’ ENEMY.
His Method of Ascertaining What Oth¬
ers Thought of Him.
The other day I sat down to dinner
to theGault House in Louisville. Next
to me sat a gentleman whom at first
sight I thought I knew. The second
look and his own glance of unrecog-
nition at me showed tha,t I was mis¬
taken. After a few moments I saw
why it was that I thought I recogniz¬
ed him. He bore a singular likeness
to the cartoons of Mr. John R. Fel¬
lows, the district attorney of New
York, the man who defeated DeLancy
NicoU, and the mam about whom
President Cleveland wrote a letter of
recommendation as it were. Fellows’
picture had appeared at the time to
many of the comic papers, and my
neighbor at the dinner table bore a
great resemblance to the cartoons.
And at last I said:
"Do you known that you look very
much like John R. Fellows, of New
York.”
"Yes,” he answered, “I have often
been taken for him. Do you know
him?”
“No, I do not; but I have seen a
great many pictures of him to the
papers. Do you know him ?”
“I am slightly acquainted with him,
I regret to say.”
“Then be is not a friend of yours?”
“On the contrary, an enemy.”
“Well, it must be rather embarrass -
tog to look like a person’s worst ene¬
my.”
“Oh, I don’t know that Fellows is
my worst enemy, although perhaps
he is.”
“Then I amagine yon didn’t vote
for him on the occasion of that mem¬
orable struggle?” .
“No, sir; I did not. Still I did not
vote for Mr. NicoU, so it is a sort of
a ‘saw-off’ between Fellows and my¬
self.”
“Well, I would have gone further.
I would have voted for NicoU.
My sympathies were with him in the
contest.”
“Then you are not a New York
man ?”
“No, I’m from Detroit.”
“Ah! I did not think a local elec¬
tion would have had any interest so
far west.”
“Far west? Bless yon, Detroit is
not far west. Detroit is an eastern
city. It has the stability of the East
with the enterprise of the West.
“Must be a wonderful town?”
. “Oh, it is. What is Nicall doing
now?”
“I believe he is practicing law. He
is a goodjawyer.”
“I should think you would have
been sorry you did not vote for him,
when you must have felt that it was
the right thing to do.”
“Well, none of us do as we should,
you know. Besides a person seems to
see these things clearer after they are
over than he does at the time. Any¬
how, it would not have made any dif¬
ference with the result.” *
That’sso. By the way, what
of a district attorney is Fellows mak¬
ing? Howjdoes the averag^-mon re¬
gard him?”
‘Well, it’s like this FeBows is like
the rest of us. He is neither as good
as his friends try to make out, nor is
he as bad as you or I might think

Compact Between Thurman and Cam¬
eron.
New York Star.
Barring Ohio, Pennsylvania is
probably the most clamorous com¬
munity for federal patronage of any
state in the union. For fifty years
or more it has been fortunate in
having men of great influence as its
representatives in congress,men* o,
who saw to it that, the Keystone
state had a verylarge share of fed¬
eral “pap.” Both Simon Cameron
and his son, who succeeded him, be¬
lieve very firmly in the doctrine, “to
the victors belong the spoils.” There¬
fore, they have had the ear of every
President for nearly half a century,
and easily secured places for those
who were friendly to their interests.
This is one of the sources of General
Cameron’s remarkable power upon
the political end of Pennsylvania.
Ex-Senator Thurman One day at a
dinner party illustrated the office-get¬
ting propensity of the old general in
a very neat way. The Elder Came¬
ron and Mr. Thurman are personally
warm friends, and, while the compa¬
ny at the table were at the height of
the enjoyment of the occasion, the
two got to chaffing each other about
their associations in the Senate.
“General,” said Mr. Thurman, “if
you should reach the golden shore be¬
fore I do.I.hope you will say a good
word for me.”
“Certainly I will,” replied the gen¬
eral, “I should be lonesome on the
other side without an occasional tiff
with you; but Thurman, suppose you
get there first, what are you going to
do for me?”
“Oh, I will speak well of you;’, was
Thurman’s quick reply, “but I will at
the same time warn St. Peter that if
he doesn’t keep his eye on you every
officer in Gabriel’s army will be a
Pennsylvanian before you have been
there a month.”
