now thinks the position of the administration
IN regard to Spain and Cuba, as indicated by
the Presidents recent message, recommending
repair OF tie ferts, Sc, is intended to draw
the attention Of the country from it's policy in
the South and especially Louisiana. The Dis
patch need give itself NO concern about this.
The Republicans cal1 attend to Spain and the

either case to help it in the other. The people

to the navy and CIR forts, as foreshadowing a
war with Spain, it forthwith commences to

During great food in the Ohio about
twenty-five years ago, when the river over
leaped the bounds of propriety, and dwell
ings located Gu the river banks were swept
ed away and went floating down upon the
pitiless tide, there was intense excitement.
Families, unconscious of their danger,
were fast asleep in their beds when the wa
ter rose about their homes, and lifting the
tenements from their foundations bore them
away amid the darkness and the turbulent
food.
On the left bank of the Ohio al that time
between Marietta and Pomeroy, stood
humble dwelling, occupied by a farmer
his wife and five children, the youngest
child being an infant girl little over
year old. The river rose during the nigh
while the family were in bed. Tit

Sunday at the Barracks.

The regular monthly review of the troops
took place at Ash Barracks at O'Clock Sun
day morning. Too much cannot be said in
praise of the officers and soldiers, for all
who witnessed the review were satisfied the
boys knew what they were about. A large
crowd Of people went out to witness the
dress parade at 6 O'Clock in the afternoon,
and 10 get the benefit of the music discussed
by the band, which has become famous.
Many OF the visitors were admitted TO the
guaTd-hOUSe to see Ouachita, the wounded
Cheyenne chief, but the brave was not in
the humOr Of receiving company, and laid
on his cot with his eyes closed the whole
time his guests were in the room. He hap
pened TO be in a stubborn mood Sunday
afternoon, but up to that time, with one
exception, he had been taking matters
easily. A few mornings since he attempted
to put an end to his life by stUffing rags
down his throat Since then he has been
more quiet and has not made so much fuss
about cheap good whisky" Corporal Al
len, who was stabbed by Ouachita at Madi-
son Station, has sufficiently recovered to
join his company in the West.

The last report Of the New York City
Board Of Health shows a notable increase
Of deaths from malignant diseases.
The victims Of smallpox number III
against 81 the week previous; those OF
diphtheria 20 against 80, and those of scar
let fever A against -. The Secretary
was instructed to call the attention Of
street car companies to the law abOlishing
the use of cushions for seats in the cars,
and to bring suits in cases Of nOn-c)m-
pliance. Old and sOdden cushions in street
cars are apt absOrbents Of cOntagiOn, and
constitute prolific source for the dissent
nation of any prevalent disease throughout
the city. This fact deserves attention, not
only during the summer season and in
times Of epidemic, but at all times, because
some form Of contagious disease nearly
always exists in our large cities. The
diseases of children, for instance, many of
which come under this category prevail at
all seasons, and the tender physique Of
early age is peculiarly susceptible to conta-
giOus influences. The New York law,
foFbidding the use Of pest-hiding cushions
in street cars and other public vehicles,
would be an excellent one to enact and
enforce everywhere. The neatly curved
seats of hard polished wood, now coming
into vogue, are quite IS easy and comfort
able as ragged old cushions that have been
in use for unknown years and have alb
sOTbed unknown elements from sweltering
humanity. il necessary, we might well
sacrifice little comfort for the short time
one sits in a street car, in order to secure
more safety, especially for the tender buds
Of coming humanity.

not cement the friendship Of the States.
1t wasfOr those who fought in the OppOs-
ing armies to lead in the reunion, now that
all were ready for the era Of good feeling.
Both sides had fought with motives that
they believed pure and exalted. Let none
deny this. The great arbiter of nations
and wars had given the victory to the
Union side. Let us now be one in spirit
as in name. The sentiment uttered by the
speakers seemed to receive a hearty re-
Spouse from those present.
Capt. Thatcher was then invited forward
and led in singing "My Country, Ills of
Thee" and "Old Hundred" nearly all
present joining in and producing an effect
that will be remembered by those who
were fortunate enough to be among the
listeners. The train came out few mo-
ments afterward and everybody fastened
to get aboard.
Not a casualty occurred during the day,
and it was a matter Of general remark that
a more orderly aSsemblage was never
known. 1t is estimated that between 5000
and 1000 persons visited the cemetery dur
ing the afternoon. Two cars loaded with
cOlOred people came down from Gallatin
and another from Lebanon.
The cemetery comprises sixty-ive acres
and is in charge Of Mr.. w. A. Graham, as
Superintendent, who keeps the grounds in
magnificent order.
The number of soldiers buried in the
cemetery IS shown by the official record to
be as follows:

The prospect is that there will be a lively
fight in the City Council over the re-dis-

of which seem to be abo equal in num-

opponents favor changes, from the present
lines, of a less extravagant character,
