cossAcKs AND CHINESE
Fighting Because of Russian Aggressions on
- -. .ll.l. Chinese Territory. ~. p -. III


St. Petersburg Dispatch to London Times.
Some trouble has again arisen on the Rus
so Chinese frontier, in consequence of the
irnpossbility of preventing the continual
border raids of the population on both sides
OF the frontier. The Russians, it appears,
have advanced five or six miles further
into Chinese territory than they have any
right to go according to the Kuldja treaty
and negotiations have already been opened
at Pekin to induce the Chinese TO accept this
improved frontier line, in order that peace
and security may be insured to the subjects
OF both countries. The Russians have discov-
cred that the frontier line agreed to in the
last treaty is not a thoroughly scientific
one somewhere in the northeast of the actual
province of Kuldja, and they think that they
would be better able to keep order, since the
Chinese are unable or unwilling TO do SO, by
advancing their CoSsack pickets few more
versts into China. 1t is not likely, however
that the Chinese government will agree to
this recti6cation of the frontier, unless very
forcibly persuaded to it. A telegram from
Zaisan states that the Cossacks have been re-
inforced, and also that large orders for flour
from the Chinese Amban have been refused
by order of the Russian authorities. Trade
generally at Tchugutchak, the frontier town.
has been almost killed, in consequence of the
difficulties encountered by the Russian and
Tartar merchants in getting the Chinese
paper credit-notes paid in silver The Am
ban, or Chinese chief of the Tarhagataie dis
trict, established this paper currency for the
sole benefit of the Russians, on the ground
of an insufficiency of silver coinage, and NOW
the Russians are having their paper notes
slowly taken up by installnents in return
for silver coin, which, although worth
more than the paper, is also of rather doubt
full value. But the strained relations be-
tween the traders are not so serious as the
open hostility between the military elements
of the two countries The Cossacks and the
updisciplped Chinese soldiery have fire.
Quently OF late come to hand-to-hand fight
ing, having killed and wounded on both
sides; and the Cossacks have more than once
pursued the Celestials up to the very walls

ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND.
The Fifteenth Annual Reunion at Cincinnati
In October Next,


The fifteenth annual reunion of the Army
OF the Cumberland will be held at Cincin-
ma ii on the 24th and 25th of October, 1888.
This society was organized under the au-
spices OF Major-general George II. Thomas
in 1868 and is composed of "ofiicers and
soldiers who have at any time served with
honor in that army
The constitution of the society provides
that 'the object of the society shall be to
perpetuate the memory of the fortunes and
achievements OF the Army of the Cumber-
land, to preserve, that .unanimity al loyal
sentiment and that kind and cordial feeling
which has been an eminent characteristic of
this army and the main element of the power
and success of its efforts in behalf of the
cause of the Union. the history and glory
of the officers and soldiers belonging to this
army who have fallen. either on the field of
battle or otherwise in the line of their duty,
shall be permanent and sacred trust to this
society, and every effort will be made to col
lect and preserve the proper memorials of
their services, to inscribe their names upon
the roll of honor and transmit their fame to
posterity,"i
The Army of the Cumberland was one of
the largest of the grand armies that battled
so nobly and we'll to preserve the Union.
Ohio gave to this army sixty regiments ofIn-
fantry, four regiments of cavalry and twelve
batteries of artillery; Illinois forty-three
regiments of infantry and seven batteries of
artillery; Indiana thirty eight regiments of
in ffhrtry, four regiments of cavalry and
twelve batteries of artillery; Michigan eight
regiments of infantry, two regiments of
cavalry, one regiment of mechanics and en-
gineers and five batteries of artillery, and
the aggregate from thirteen other States was
sixty eight regiments of infantry, twenty
four regiment of cavalry and ten batteries
of artillery, making grand total, at the
opening of the Atlanta campaign, of III 900
men. Every surviving member of these
regiments who received an honorable dis
charge is entitled to membership in this
society. The Society OF the Army
of the Cumbeland has al ways held high rank
with kindred societies, and its annual re-
ports, now numbering fourteen handsome
octave volumes, bound in CLOTH contain a
large amount of biographical and historical
information of great interest and value. 1t
is deemed desirable to cali the attention of
those who were members of the grand old
army to the approaching reunion of this
society. The corresponding secretary, General
Henry NJ. Cist, of Cincinnati, will send blank
applications and give any desired informa-
ton to those who may wish to become mem
bers of the society, Acknowledgment P.
II. Sheridan is its president, and it is ex-
pected that the meeting in the great Music
Hall in Cincinnati will be a large and bril-
liant one-a grand rally of patriotic and
brave citizen soldiers. Many new members
who have not seen each other since the mus
ter-out will there shake hands, renew old
army friendships, and perhaps drink again
out OF the same cauteen.

The Row In the Insane Hospital.


Madison Star.
1t is an unfortunate circumstance that the
institution of the greatest importance in the
State, one OF the most extensive and gener-
Gus bcnefcence, and one most sacred in the
hearts of our people on account of the un-
happy condition OF its inmates should be
made political football by politicians. The
positions in the institution seem 10 be given
out and used in the way of corrupt political
barter and trade. The great and high and
holy purpose of the institution seems to be
disregarded, and it has become the theater of
continual political cock-fighting The Star
mourns over this condition of things and we
believe the people throughout the State have
become tired of it. The walls of that insti-
tion enclose people in sad condition who
are dear to the hearts of others in homes ali
over the State, and this internal turmoil
amongst the trustees and other officers is I'M
pleasant to these friends. The scandal should
cease SPEEDILY

The trouble with some of the Eastern
editors, and many other people who live on

people called by Richard Grant White

everything about everything, and thereby
frequently make themselves ridiculous by

of a. conversation with one of the editors of
