Miles Oh Miles Of Winged Ants.

Yesterday afternoon a spectacle was
witnessed by Dansvillians resembling
one of four years ago in character, but
greatly exceeding it in magnitude.
Clouds of small-winged ants blackened
the atmosphere in perpendicular streaks,
extending north and south an apparent
distance of five or six miles, and per-
pendicularly from near the earth about
a mile upward, and moved rapidly from
east to west with the wind from near 4
O'Clock until it was too dark to see them,
so that the vast insect flock must have
been over IS miles in length. Many of
them settled down in the village, very
thickly in spots, but not nearly SO thick
" as in 1874. The most of them were
very small, but many of them were as
large as Il large ant, and some of those
large ones were without wings, the
wings probably having dropped off. Oc-
casionaily one of the clouds, u few feet
in thickness, would be seen moving
rapidly downward as well as
westward, while others would keep
right on. We have found no Dansvil-
liam who recollects any phenomena OF
the kind except the one of 1874, which
occurred September OF that year. ear
ly in the evening.-DansvtNe (N. ~

Queen VietOria's Income.

In the debate in the House of Lords
last week Sir Charles Dixie said that the
income of the Queen was 93S5,OOO, or
about 81 $4,000 per annum, but that
she did not spend one-half of it, not
outstanding the act OF Parliament
specially stated that f325,0OO of this
sum "was to be spent in maintaining
the state which pertains to the sovereign
of Great Britain" "What does she do
with it?' is a question which is being
asked in private circles and is beginning
to be discussed in the newspapers. A
writer in the Mayfair, paper which is
supported by the best of English socle'
ty, discusses this subject, andaays that
"for sixteen years the English nation
has faithfully performed its part OF the
contract in allowing her Majesty, as the
head of the State, a magnificent income,
and people of an arithmetical turn OF
mind want to know what has become OF
these vast successive annual payments.
Beyond an occasional drawing-room re,
ception, state ball, 4 concert now ana
then, Queen Victoria spends nothing IN
state display. This is a well known ana
extensively discussed fact. Even these
expenditures were suspended during her
long retiracy, but her income was regu,,
larly drawn from the Treasury, ana
large sums called for to endow her nu-
merous children so soon as they reach
the age of maturity or marry. Inc
writer in the Mayair concludes with
the remark that this grasping and pc
nuriousness of the Queen "tends 10
bring the crown into contempt" This
is very plain language, and will some
day lead to trouble. Letter 70

Legal Advertising in Cooperative
Newspapers.

An important decision, touching the
legality of advertising in newspapers
printod on the cooperative plan, has
been rendered by the New Jersey
courts. A mortgage sale was adver-
tiSed in newspaper printed on this
plan, and the property was sold as adj
vertised. The owner of the property
protested against the proceedings, on
the ground that the advertisement
thereof was not legal, because the
newspaper printing it was a so-called
patent inside" 4 petition TO set
aside the sale was accordingly filed in
chancery. The petition fully and square
IL raised the issue as TO whether news

A Sword with q History.

The Charlottesville (Va.) Chronicle
says: When II. T. w. Duke entered
the Confederate service in 1861 as Cap.
tain of Company A, Nineteenth Virginia
Regiment, he carried with him an old
sword which, according to the family
tradition, was the sword of DR.. Thomas
Walker-the Colonel's great-grandfa-
ther-who was Commissary-G General of
the Virginia troops under Washington,
in Braddock's army. At the battle of
Sailors Greek, April 6, 1865, Colonel
Duke, then commanding a regiment in
Gusts Lees division, was, with his en-
tire command, captured by the Federal
troops. The Colonel surrendered to a
Lieutenant Cronert, in a New York
regiment, and requested his captor to
preserve his sword, acquainting him
with it's value as Il family relic. Captor
and captured then exchanged addresses
and parted, the Colonel to remain some
months in Johnson's Island Prison.
Since the war several efforts have
been made to find out the Colonel's
captor, but it was only few months
ago that his present address was OBJ
tanned, and @ letter received from him
contained the information that the
sword was still in his possession. After
some negotiations the sword was for
warded, and is now in the Colonel's pos
session.
1t is quaint and singular looking old
weapon, triangular-shaped, having three
eating edges, solid silver hilt and
guards, is of the style known as dress
sword of the time of Charles and Queen
ANNE, and has doubtless danced at the
side of some gay cavalier in the days
when "Church, King and State" was
the cry. 1t followed its owner to the
Old Dominion, and paced minuets
with his descendant at court balls at
Williamsburg, ran away with him at
! Braddock's defeat, saw the Revolution
of 1776, and now after being drawn in
to four years. contest tor the "Lost
Cause" and surrendered with heavy
heart, has again returned to whom it
belongs, where, we trust, it will remain
unsheathed for years to come.
DIR. Walker, the original owner of the
sword, was cutie distinguished man in
the early history of this and Louisa
Counties, representing both of these
counties time after time in the House of
Burgesses. He was the guardian of
Thomas Jefferson and intimately con-
nected in public and private relations
with Washington. He was married
twice, his wives being Misses Thornton,
I first cousins of Washington. He held
many important offices in Virginia. be-
ing member of the conventions of 11I5
and 1889. AZ one time he owned the
land upon which Charlottesville is now
situated, and he gave the public square
20 the county to build the Court House.
II is said be could ride from Gordons-
vile to the Ohio River and sleep every
night OF his journey on his own ground.
He is buried at Castle Hill, the residence
