Veterans of isI2-I3 to Visit Fort
Meiss.-From the following extracts Of pri-
vate letter addressed to Rev. JOHN SWAN, Mau-
nee, from 7. b. DAVIS, Of Macarthur, Ohio, a
SON Of one Of the veterans Of 1912, it win be seen
that we are shortly to have some distinguished
visitors In our midst:
McARrnUR, May 20, 1870.
REv. JoHN SWAN: Ny Dear Sir: My old
father. with some fifteen or twenty OF his old
comrades, soldiers of 1928, desire to visit the
battle grounds Of their youth, viz: Fort Meigs
and Col. Dudleys battle ground, at or near the
| rapids of the Maumee river, about June 20.
One VI these soldiers Gen. Leslie g lmbs
Of Kentucky, is fair speaker and doubtless
will deliver an interesting account Of Dudley's
| defeat, in which lie was taken prisoner and ran
| the gauntlet, mode Of Indian punishment of
prisoners. Father has a brother, II. NJ. Davis,
| a lawyer by profession, who will be able TO give
a history OF Fort Meigs, the siege, etc. think,
all things considered, it will be an interesting
old soldiers party, aud what they will be able to
communicate will be interesting to the present
scbty ness sssrs WI DnSey
battle was fought May 5, 1918. being So years
! ago fought by a Kentucky regiment Of 900
men, with tile British and Indians combined,
about to !, that is, British and Indians to
| of the ksntuckians. They fought till 200 only
greatest slaughter ever made to the number en-
gagged ON this continent Cot the American flag
and liberty, /. e., 800 out Of 1909.
We learn from the Toledo Commercial that
they expected here on or about the Goth inst.
We trust they may be greeted with such a recep-
tion on their arrival as will give them lasting
impression Of the progress Of civilization in the
Maumee Valley for the past ffty-eRht years.

The Washington correspondent of the Chicago

Republican Senator from Ohio:
Senator Sherman is one of the approved men
OF the place. He is here what his brother was ia

pleasant eye, mouth of steel, spare, light,
wiry form, and most quiet, but determined
manner. are his outward signs. He possesses
beyond any other Senator the gift of addressing
the body in the manner ofOne gentleman speak

The following questions will be asked by all
who are employed in taking the census, to be
answered according to facts in ue case. The
Schedules, we believe, ar not for public inspec-

Ii is now proposed to settle the Mormon diff
Guilty after the fashion of the partition of Po-
land; Idaho to take all the northern part of
Utah, above the forty-frst parallel, then to di
vide the rest by a north and south line running
half degree west of Salt Lake city, and give
the east section to Colorado and the west to Ne
yada. The Idaho Statesman, in which we find
this scheme set forth, estimates the population
of IdahO's slice as 5000; Colorado is to get
5000, with Salt Lake city, and Nevada % ,OOO
The editor, who is an old resident OF Boise city.
does not believe that Mr.. Cullom's bill against
polygamy can be enforced unless Utah is par
utioned in this way, but he says that Judge
Lewis, holding his district court at Silver CITY.
800 miles away from any Mormon settlement,
would wipe polygamy out of northern Utah, if
annexed to Idaho, in two trial terms. Itisru-
mored that Brigham, with all these difficulties
about his head, is negotiating tor the purchase
OF slice OF Mexican territory adjacent to Arizo-
ma, and on the line of the Southern Pacific rail-
road. With his hundred and fifty thousand fol-
lowers, well establishel on Mexican territory,
he could probably defy any attempt of the weak
government Of that country to NEEDLE with his
domestic institutions.

We are getting down to a specie basis about
as rapidly as could be desired Yesterday gold
touched 16S IN New York, the lowest point in
about eight years. The influences operating on
the market are the action of the Senate in giving
quietus to expansion; the continued advance of
American securities in the foreign markets.
where the ease in money seems to be stimulat-
ing an upward speculation In all classes of Sc
curities; the large supply of the gold in the
market here; the belief that the Funding bill of
Senate Is likely to become q law, and the report
that the Treasury sales will be increased in
March. United States bonds in the foreign
markets have reached the highest prices ever
made. The 62's sold in London at 90 which
with exchange at 100 and gold 116x, would be
equal in our market to within one per cent. of
par in gold. The ISIS yesterday sold about Z of
one per cent. absre par in gold. This is the most
remarkable example of rapid and steady re-
eovery Of credit from great depression ever
known in the history of any country. and it
seems more and more assured that the Govern
ment will speedily be able, by the aid of whole
some legislation, to redeem the fve-twenties
with five per cent bonds-saving sI7 900 900
every year In coin for interest, and placing the
entire debt on afooting where it can be managed
without difficulty.

THE MISSING STEAMER BosToS--Editor Star:
As there u some anxiety manifested in regard TO
tie safety of the steamship City OF Boston, the
experience of a Westinghouse on board Of this
vessel nav be interesting to your readers. On
the 2sth Of May, 1856, sailed from New Yorkin
the City of Boston for Liverpool. 1t was her
second trip, and she was then considered the
fastest steamer of the Inman line. On the fourth
day out We m 4 with dense fog, 80 that nothing
could be seen over half of the ships length dis
tant. At the same time the thermometer fell to
srch a degree that it became apparent that
great quantities of ice were near. The steamer
kept on her course at full speed, twelve miles per
hour. All at once the cry was heard from the
bridge ..hard aboard" at the same time the
signal was given for reversing the engine.
Everybody rushed on deck. and among them
myself, In time to see an iceberg of immen se
height, within twenty feet of us. In fact il h ad
the appearance, as IL the vessels rigging vas
touching the ice. Had we run against il
nothing would have ever been heard OF us. One
OF the passengers demonstrated with the captain
In regard TO our narrow escape, when that officer
made the remark. that one inch of the berg
was as good as 900 miles away. The City
of Boston is a strong vessel built with compart-
ments, and If she had only her machinery dis
abled she can make five miles under canvass a.
she is heavily rugged. w.

The Prince of Wales, whose manner of life
has been styled a scandal to British society by
distinguished subjects of the crown, and who
has at all events succeeded in winning a repu-
tation more like that of George Nv than that of
George III or his own father, has been lately
a compulsory witness in a suit for divorce He
testified to his own innocence and that of Lady
Mordaunt, the respondent, but the latter makes
confession of her frailty, and duplicates him in
her guilt The incident is only important as
another item in the cumulative mass by which
the tenure Of the British aristOcracy, and even
the throne, is imperilled. There is a strong
feeling animating an influential body that the
kingdom would be better under a differen;
government. and that it could not be worse
than under the rule of such man as the Prince
All events like the current one feed this feel
ing, and are to be considered in estimating the
set OF the political current.
