go long had at their old stand.

rity, worth snd business qualifications.

which should be distributed everywhere,

Quite a breezy little war was waged
for awhile at the Worsham House, yes
terdsy morning, by Sandy Marshall and
Alex Smith, two rival walters, of a bright
new saddle hue. Tea cups were SHE'D at

must confess that it looks Ike it had

witness to an easy, graceful. flowing
style Of writing, combined with vigOr of
thought. From its enunciation Of princi-
pies we extract the following: "Ths

One OF the most sbsurdly startling
announcements made by the telegraph
during the European war was that pub
lished in the Ledger yesterday evening,
and made the text for an editorial, which,
whether it was meant ironically or in
sober earnest, il Is impossible for as to
tell. We refer to the dispatch ~announc-
ing the explosion of a mine or series Of
mines, by which b moderate little num-

cdhdTd is. Suppose that the Prussian
commandments had determined to
sacrifice 100000 men al once, by placing
them over a mine and exploding 1t; and
suppose he took all infantry, 40 artillery,
no csyslry, no baggage, but plain in
fantry, armed and ACQUIRED as the Prus-
sian soldiers Of the line are. The meas
