THAT Old REBEL YELL.

Colonel j. f. McGowan, of TIE Chat
fanooga Times, gives the following
graphic description of an incident at
the late Cincinnsti banquet:
''The great orchestra strsfck up the
stirring old air Dixie, with its soul
Thrilling associations and memories.
For moment there was hash. The
old soldiers of the North and the old
soldiers of the South looked st each
other and the vast throng was still; but
before the second bar was strtek, the
emotions OF the gallant Soutkerners
overcame them, and almost sime1tane-
ously they sprang to their feet, more
than a thousand strong, and the ole
Southern battle-cry made the lofty
arches ring again. Side by side with
them stood the Northern hosts aud
cheered with them. Again and again
the men of the South broke forth as
gay measures swoke their enthusiasm,
and the strains OF the orchestra were
fairly drowned by their united voices.
A prominent gentleman from Cmcir-
natl, and famous soldier, turned to
Governor Marks, of Tennessee, and
said That is the old rebel yell.
Yes was the reply, and now hear
st. raised for the Stars and Strapes,' for
Just then tire orchestra struck up that
grand old patriotic air. The Scene that
followed is indescrbable. Such one
was never witnessed before. AS the
full orchestra poured forth the grsrd
old strains Of
''The star-spangled banner,
Oh, long may it wave
Ger the land Of the free st
And the home Of the brave.
The great organ burst forth IN glorious
unison with all it's magnificent power,
and the vast audience arose as one man,
and the old Union cheer blended with
the old rebel yell TO the notes OF the
national air for the FIRST time sirce the
dark and bloody years of the great civil
war. Men who had faced each other
on many u crimson battle field under
the stars and bars, clasped hands and
waved handkerchiefs, until the great
level Of the hall was like white sea.
All the sound of the orchestra and
organ was lost in the exultans shouts of
reconciliation and common patriotism,
and the great wave of enthusiasm
swept over the vast glowing concourse
and carried everything before it. 1t
~as scene never to be forgotten"

M Quad, of the Detroit Free Press
is doing New York, and amongst other
things he says:
You ask if we had any particularly
bright horses, replied a hook and ladder
man. Here is Peter he's been with us
nine OF ten years, and We rather brag of
him. Let me introduce him. Peter. here
is a chap from the Detroit Free Press.
Peter nodded his head and paved the
floor.
Peter have you been to fire today"
He shook his head.
Were you out Yesterday
He nodded.
Peter how old are you?'
The horse paved thirteen times with
his foot.
That's right old, boy. Do you remem
Der when u loafer stabbed you at a fire.
He did.
Where is the SCARF
Peter bent himself almost double to
bite his hip at spot were scar could
be traced.
Now. Peter, show the Detroit man
how you take your place at the pole
Down went the chain and the horse
covered the distance at two jumps.
Now walk around the truck and come
and take my hat Off.
The horse obeycd to the letter.
Now, continued the fireman, as he
lay down on the floor, step over me.
Peter lifted his feet very high and step
ped softly over, and returned to his stall.
That horse is one of us. said the man,
as he brushed off the dust and sat down.
We can rest the foot of ladder on his
back and he will not move. Wherever
we stand him at Il fire there he will stay
without watching. He eats with us,
chews tobacco. likes beer and would
learn to play dominoes in week, if he
could only handle them
