Special Correspondence National Tribune
EVANSVILLE, IND, Aug 20.-Farragut Post,
G. A. r., took possession of their new quarters
in the national bank building few evenings
since with a Campfire celebration and other
festivities. The new quarters are conveniently
and elegantly furnished, and embrace almost
the entire third story of the building. The
appointments are those required by the Society,
the carpets are Of rich color and quality, and
the walls are papered after the aesthetic style.
The room is well ventilated, and pleasant and
commodious.
The special invitations that had been sent
out brought together a company which, added
TO the membership made the attendance very
large. The arrangements, however, were
complete, and insured the comfort and enjoy
ment of all.
The following was the programme of the
evening:
Reveille-Martial Band
Duet-On the Field of Glory-Profs Tinker
and Zeller.
Address-Col. DENLY.
Quartette- Soldiers Farewell-Profs Tinker
and Zeller, and Messrs Rankin and Mason.
Address-Gcn. Shackelford-" How Cap
tured John Morgan"
Quintette-Soldiers Chorus.
Addre.s-Gen. A P. Hovey-" Results of the
War"
Address-Mai. A. c. Rosencranz.
Recitation-The Maniac-Capt McCutchan.
Tattoo-Martial Band.
Part II.-Song-Marching Through Georgia
Prof zoller, soloist, the company joining in
chorus.
As Gen. Shackelford stood before us he
looked tho ideal general-1ashing eye erect
form, full head of dark hair, slightly tinged
with gray--the very picture Of physical man
hood. To hear the General speak without
notes in that clear, ringing voice and spirited
manner was positively electrical.
Col Denby's address of "Soldier life, from
the enlistment to muster out" was impromptu,
as was also the address of Gen. Hovey on ''The
results of the war;" Both were well received.
1t is needless to say this in Indiana as their
ability as orators is well known.
Mai Rosencranz's Reconnaissance in the rear
of Chickamauga" was true to such Incidents

PRESENT FoLLIEs OF DRESS.

In London recently small party of privi-
legged persons had the advantage of hearing
a lady lecture in a drawing room upon the
faults. and follies of the present style of
women's dress. The lecturer was young,
pretty and charming. She held forth upon
the atrocity Of Il pinched-in waist Her own
was excessively tight. She reviled trim
mings. Her gown was covered with flutings,
friIlings, furbelOws and flounces. She de-
nounced tight sleeves. Her own were so
concise that the lines of her very graceful
arms were by no means lost on the be-
holder. She advocated reform in the matter
of pointed toes, but her small patent leather
shoes could not have measured an inch
acrose the extreme tip She urged upon her
sister women resistance to the invading Grim
oline, but had herself so far yielded to its
attack as to exhibit very pronounced Grim
olette. When mildly reprOached by ar
advanced lady with her Inconsistencies,
the fair lecturer cast down her eyes with the
air of Christian martyr and said: I'm
obliged to obey my husband, and he likes
to see me fashionably dressed"

of September, 1851 When the regiment veter-
anized he returned with them to indianapolis.
The ovation rendered them will long be re-
membered by the members, and Johnny re-
ceived his full share of notice.
The little fellow was all smiles until our great
war governor held him up before the great
thFong and said, ''This was the youngest soldier
in the United States army, having enlisted when
he was nine years old. He has veteranized
and will not go home until his father, who was
made prisoner at Chickamauga is released
When his worthy fathers name was mentioned
his eyes filed with tears-wEen the great
crowd gave three cheers for Johnny. He was
never sick or in the hospital. His date of birth
is July 1, 1852. On the 1st day of July last he
was thirty years old. Ifany younger man can
be found who served three years trot him out.
His father, Capt Jacob W. Messick, who, after
over seventeen months imprisonment, was pa
rolled at Wilmington, N. c., beats the bass
drum. The fifer (Gus. Leich) of the band is an
inimitabe soldier. He is the best Post Adju-
tant in the State.
The music was excellently rendered and
enjoyed by all.
Among the guests from other cities were
Gen. A. P. Hovey, of Mt. Vernon, and Captain
Millner, commander of the Post of the G. A. r.
at that place.
Farragut Post was organized on the oath Of
June, 1881, with thirty eight members. Since
that time it has not only grown most materi-
ally itself but it has organized Posts at Hunt
ingburgh, Owensboro, and Mt. Vernon. The
present membership is one hundred and thirty

REGIMENTAL REUNION

Survivors of the Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry
Celebrate their Anniversary at Reading, Pa.
The survivors of the gallant Seventh Penn
sylvania cavalry held their first annual Reun-
ion at Reading on August 23d. The festivities
were held at Keller's Central Park, which wore
gala appearance, with flags flying and the
sounds of martial music echoing and re-echoing
among the grand old trees. The hospitable
doors of the spacious park cottage were thrown
open for the reception of the veterans, who
gave themselves over entirely to day of en-
joynnent. With the arrival of each morning
train the visiting members were met at the
depot by reception committee, consisting of
John L. Miller, Henry Lott, Samuel Wagner,
and Charles Belleman, and escorted to their
headquarters.
The Reading Eagle says of the Reunion:
This is the first meeting of the kind held by
the survivors of the Seventh since the war.
Old comrades-in-arms who have not seen each
other for nearly a score of years shook hands
and once more rehearsed the story of their
wild charges and perilOus skirmishes and scenes
of their life in camp and field, and amidst
song and story they to-day lived over again
the times that marked the pathetic years OF
the Nations life.
Gen. Rosecrans, of California, the old COM
mander of the Army of the Cumberland, was
expected to be present, but wrote that pressing
dnties would compel him TO remain at Wash
ington. He added: "The old Seventh Penn
svlvania! One of the staunchest and best
cavalry regiments that drew sabre IN the war
of tbe ITnion-one of the first regiments in the
sabre BRIGADE in the Army of the Cumberland.
Dnrinp all the time it was under my command
its gallant men, never to my knowledge. ,.went
hack in a single engagement" In conclusi'
General Rosecrans expressed the hope that
career of each individual member of the res
ment in time of peace may be as successful
that of the regiment during the war.
Shortly after one o'clock the members of
Seventh formed in line at Bowman's Hotel,
and. preceded by the Liberty Cornet Band,
which played number of patriotic airs,
marched to the Central Park. Each member
wore gilt badge which bore the coats of arms
of Pennsylvania, the figure of hOrseman, and
the words: Seventh Pennsylvania Cavalry"

marched to the park and who participated IN
the days festivities:

any one approach me for my vote. Yes, I
did, too" he continued "only last week a
crank came to see me one morning and said
he was the agent of an English company
which was very much interested in qnes-
ton before the Ways and Means Committee.
L am authorized by them,' he said, to e1-
pend $4,000 in securing such legislation.
Could you recommend me, Mr. Smith, good
lawyer whom l could entrust this business
top looked at him minute to sec whether
he was in earnest, and then said Good
morning, sir L beg your PARDON said he.
Did l understand you?' Yes, you under
