monstratcs the motive power which
has SO nearly superseded the side
wheels. The first screw steamer ever
constructed, was built III Trieste, by
Joseph Russell in 1896, fof the Vice
roy of Egypt, and it was not till ten
years later that the Englishman
Smith and the Swede Ericsson followed
the idea.
The Lloyd screws have four wings,
whereas hut Chree are usually em-
pioyed. The advantages of the screw
over the side-wheeis are 80 evident that
most of the ocean steamers, which
were formerly all side-wheelers, are now
screw steamers. 1t needs but little
thought to understand these advant-
ages. The effect of this screw wheel
is always under water, whereas in the
side-wheeler the tipping of the vessel
in storm may deprive her of the BEN
eft of one wheel, at the very moment
when she most needs it; and, also, the
tightening of the vessel will diminish
the effect of the wheels upon the water,
so that towards the end OF a voyage the
vessel will not be able to exert as much
power upon the water as at the begin
ming. In war times, also, the screw is
out of reach OF shots, but we hope that
we are reaching an age of the world
when this latter advantage will be Of
but little consequence. The fastest
time on record was made by Il screw
steamer of the White Star Line, seven
days and twenty-one hours from New
York 20 Liverpool.

REUNION OF TIE Go0D-DoUGLas
EATTEEy.

This interesting and touching event
secured at TIE Commercial Club
Room on the night Of October ID. Pre-
vented hg indisposition from being
present, and the Secretary, Lieutenant
Alfred Davis, leaving next morning
for his home in Tyler, we had no report
of the proceedings. A friend who was
present, learning our inability toget Il
report, furnishes us the following brief
summary:
Captain John J. Good, the first Cap
tain of the battery, was called to pre-
side, and Alfred Davis of Tyler, one of
its original lieutcnanta, was selected as
Secretary,
It was then resolved to FERN an
IsAssociation, to be known as the
'Society or Reunion of the First
Tcxas Artillery.p A committee ap-
pointed for that purpose recommended
the following gentlemen as officers for
the first year:
James p. Douglas (who commanded
the battery from its reorganization at
Corinth, in 1862, till the close of the
war;, President; John J. Good (origi-
nal Captain and commander at Elk
Horn and Farinington), Vice Presi-
dent; Alfred Davis ian original Lieu
tenant), Secretary.
II was resolved that the association
should meet annually, alternately at
Dallas and Tyler, the next annual
meeting to be ut Tyler Rt such time as
the President Captain James =.
Douglas), should name.
BY way of explanation, it should be
stated that the original company was
formed of men from the counties of
Smith and Dallas-Tyler and Dali
las being the county'seats. The ORR
ginal officers were John j. Good,
Captain; James p. Douglas, First Lieu
tenant; u. n. Bowen, Alfred Davis,
William Harris, Lieutenants; =, Ilar-
den, First Sergeant. The writer is
unable to state more fully. The mein-
lMrs were, with few exceptions, from
Smith and Dallas counties.
Business having been disposed of
Captain John j. Good proposed the
first toast, towit:
1.-THE memory of our lamented first
! general commander, the brave and
noble-hearted General Ben. McCui-
loch.r
Drank in silence standing. Aunan-
imous call was made for John Henry
Brown, one of McCulloch's staff his
oldest friend and companion present,
to reply.
Major Brown responded, often
choked in his utterance, by giving a
brief outline Of General Ben. McCul-
lochs military career, and showing
that he was not mere partisan chief,
but thoroughly sclf-educatei militasy
man; tilat sfon, 1919 to 1851, he hal
been a close military student, having
laboriousIy studied the art of war as a
science under such famed teachers as
Turenne, vaubonne, Frederick the
Great, and Napoleon BoDaparte, whose
works and battles were as familiar to
McCulleell a. : . G to the school
boy. The peaker undertook to refer
70 his quarter 81 a century Of personal
association with Ben. Mccnllouh, but
was unafie to proceed and took his
seat amid prolonged applause.
The Hon. John II. Reagan delivered
speech Of rare pathos, overfowing

eauss and In eulogy Of ex,Prs-idsns

10 the Democracy Of Texas;
On the I'd day Of December, 1873, you
will have an opportunity OF showing 10
the world what you can do wiien per-
mitted hy free ballot. At no period
since the close of the war have the
peopie of Texas been permitted to so
freely to the polls. In 1866, it is true,
that there were no ''police" to overawe
the citizen and keep him from the
polls, but thousands were still laboring
under the crushing weight of the de-
feat of our arms, and sought only for
repose and quiet, and therefore refused
to take any part in affairs OF state.
The cares and conflicts since that time
are too familiar to occupy your time
with u recital of them.
There are tides in the affairs of men
and nations that, when taken at tie
Hood, do not always lead to fortune.
Public opinion, for twelve months
prior to the meeting of the Cincinnati
convention, had decided that the Balti-
more convention should take up the
Cincinnati nominee.
Therefore, when Mr. Greely was
nominated, the heart of the patriot
and Democrat sank. The Liberal Re-
publican party had forced man upon
us that had warred against us for near
ly forty years, and had forced the
Democratic party to q sit still and
hear his record attacked. without the
mower or inclination to defend 1t.
Hence, thousands remained away from
the election, and refused to vote. II
were useless To recount the acts and
deeds of misrule and folly OF the Rad
ical party fer the last four years. They
are too fresh.
From State free of debt, you ma
the country burdened with obligations;
from a treasury Overflowing with
money, you find creditors hourly
turned away empty; from y SET OF Oft
GERS whose civil administration gave
quict and reposc to society, you have
had q set of vagabond police to do the
work assigned to civil officers; for q
judiciary whose administration carried
conviction and gave satisfaction even
to the unsuccessful, you have men
whose decisions and judgments arc
things for sport by all classes.
VIII you be liberated from these
wrongs? VIII you correct these
abuses? viii you again have men for
public agents who viii regard them
selves as your servants, and not asYou,
masterse' Win you assume whal
belongs to yoii, and teach the world
that in order to have peace, good gov
ernment and contented, happy peo,,
pie, you only demand to be governed
less? IL you will accomplish thest
things, then go to the polls and make
use of the only means at your com
mand to accomplish these great ends
trust that you will remember That n,
leader can carry you to victory without
your earnest, active help.
/ recommend closer, ana more
thorough organization OF the party,

Throughout Germany, wherever fe-
males can be employed to advantage,
they are taken in preference to young
men, At Munich, the clerks and book
LeeperH in the banks are nearly all
young and handsome girls. AT the
dcpois many of those who attend the
windows for the sale OF tickets are
girls, and the cashiers in all the cafes
aud restaurants are of the same sex.
They are generally very expert at
figures, and In mental arithmetic they
have no superiors. In view of the
fact that so many fenales are en-
ploycd in the roughcT and harder de-
scriptions of laboring work, it speaks
well for the sex that they are seeking
and securing more desirable and lu-
cratiye employment.
