Answers to Questions AbOnt Lookout Mountain.

10 the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
have for some time been a reader of THE TRIB-
UNE. and don't believe 1 could well do without
the paper. have perused with interest the milf
tary sketches contributed by members of the vari-
Gus corps of the Army of the Cumberland, and
sometimes think they getting into close GUAR
ters even though they use nothing but paper am
munition. Please tell US through the columns of
THE TRIBUNE what bTigldier-general accompanied
General Hooker on TO Lookout Mountain, or with
what brigade did General Hooker climb the hill,
and what corps that brigade belonged to; also what
regimentai colors were first planted upon the top
of Point Lookout, and really was there Fourth
Corps in the Army Of the Cumberland, and if so,
where did it figure? Yours,
CLIFTON, KAN. A DoERISG.

She Knew Her KighIs.

On Monday afternoon, just as the gas
was being lighted, a young man entered
tue forward ladies' cabin Of Fulton ferry
boat. All the seats were occupied except
one, and he made his way unsteadily to
it. He had evidently been making too
many New Years calls. AS the boat
started he placed his hat On the seat and
went to look at himself in the mirror. In
his absence a colored woman with a
basket of clothes entered and took
the vacant seat. The young man
saw her and rushed to get ahead of
her, but was, too late. "That's my seat"
he exclaimed. "No, sab dis yar's de
ladies cabbing." ''But l had the seat

compelled to wait until the boat reached
the slip before he could obtain his tile,
and when he recovered it it looked like a
concertina in repose, and he had to try it
on his foot before he could use it.

PoN ERTi,
PrOv1dent Rats.

Rats are very apt to take heed for ihe
morrow. Eggs, which they have been
known to carry from the SaIret to the
cellar, and other tempting food Instead Of
being Ievoured instantly, are stored away
for the hour of need. A gentleman who
fed his own pointers, noticed through a
hole in the door that Il number of rats ate
from the trough with his dogs, which did
not molcst them. lie resolved to shoot
the intruders SO when he served out the
food he kept the dogs away. Not = rat
came to taste, although he could OCCASION
ly see them peeping out of their holes, for
they were too we'll versed in human ma
ture to venture forth without the protec.
tion of their canine guard. When the dogs
were let in, the rats joined and fed with
them as usual. The forethought of the
rats is indeed provorbial, and SO far from
being careless or selfish, these interesting
little folk are proved to be dutifuI chill
dren, careful parents, and friends in need.

DR.. GOWen's Future.

.Tfs UOWeNS , IutHTcs
The very positive statement lately cur
rent that Mr.. GOwen proposes imnedl-
ately to resign the presidency OF The
Reading railroad company, was quickly
found to De false on inquiry being made
of Mr.. Gowen himself. He said, what
he has said for some years, that he pre-
posed to remain 1T the head Of his cor
poration until it emerged from its diff
cul,ies and it was rehabilitated as div
idend paying road. Some persons ven
ture the opinion that even i'll this event
Mr.. Gowen will not resign his charge,
which has become, through the union
of Mr.. Vanderbilt's projected roads, a
very importan. railroad system. but
there is no reason for discredltlng
Mr.. Goyer's desire to be relieved or
r.ilroad administration. There are
other fields Of labor which are more con-
genial 20 his tastes and in which he is
fitted to shine with great lustre. One
thing, however, may be relied upon with
a great deal Of certainty; which Is
that Mr.. Gowen will not be forced out of
the presidency of the Reading. lie Will
not 90 out until he is ready. A part OF
the statement about his retirement was
that bis place would be filled by Mr.
Y ,llerbilt, who was asserted to control
the reading corporation by the extent
nT his interest in the stock. Here is a
Mistake. lie is an influential member
Of the Reading corporation, but not a
controlling one. Mr.. Gowen has abun
dainty shown that he is master OF his
company. Very energetic efforts have
been made 10 shake him out of the tree,
but they have never disturbed his hold
upon it. When he seemed IN danger
that the powerful Pennsylvania rail
roads interests would succeed III
destroying him, Mr.. Vanderbilt came to
his aid aid Mr.. GoWen accepted his
assistance. Many of his friends Thought
that he WIS escaping ilom Scylla into
Charybdis. and that Vanderbilt, motor
i,usly selfish in all his operations
would drop Mr.. Gowen very hard
lie certainly does not support him out
OF any sentimental feeling. He is salts
fled that his interests are best SuD5erVed
by cooperation with him or he is afraid
os him. The time has passed when he
could have disposed of Mr.. Gu"en. To
day if either one was to be forced 0dt oi
the Reading it is clear enough that il
would be Vanderbilt before GOwen.

If the bill introduced by Mr.. Butter
more into the state House of Represen-
tatives, reducing the number of en-
ployees and officials of the Legislature, is
correctly reported it is not judiciously
framed. The House can much more
easily dispense with doorkeepers than
with transcribing clerks, and the journal
clerk is far more necessary than the
numerous janitors allowed by the new
bill. 1t is doubtful whether any of the
clerical offices now provided for can be
spared unless it be the message clerk
but the janitcrships might well be in
cluded under some new regulation by
which the care of the House and all it's

IT rleases certain ignorant or mali
cioas newspapers, which never have any
thing but sympathy for public Plunder-
log aGda kindly fellow feeling for public
thieves, to insist that because reform
begins with looping off superlluous offices
at Harrisburg it must necessarily end
there. AS we have said before, & most
certainly the dispensing with dozen or
more superfluous employees aid officers,
and the saving thereby 10 the state of
ten or twelve thousand dollars. will not
be the most important test of fidelity to
public trust to which the Legislature
will be subject. Larger subjects must
engage its attention. Broader questions
must confront its members and try their
powers as well us their honesty" But
rs the election of officers and the ap-
pointment Of employees was the first
duty confronting the Democratic House,
it was all important that at the outset
the members should prove themselves
able to sacrifice party patronage
for the public good. Their fail
ure to rise to this level
in this small matter would naturally
create distrust of their sincerity and
discount their pretentions to reform in
matters in which the public had larger
interest and they themselves less per-
sonal and partisan concern. If reform
shall stop with the dismissal Of some
loafers it will be slight reform indeed,
but as the way to reform is to reform the
fact that it begins in the Organization
of the House is no reason why it should
not continue through its legislation.

The Senate Committees.

There is semb,ance of fairness about
the composition Of the state Senate COM
mittees AS made up and announced by
President pro TEN. Reyburn. Every re.
publican gets Il craftsmanship, excci'tthe
presidents nearest friend, Grady, who
declined to take any. Every Democrat
gets a place, and Senators Wallace, Hall
and WoIverton, distinguished by senior
ity of service and prominence of leader
ship, are iitly assigned to such import
an. committees as finance, judiciary gen
erai and apportionment. Senator Hall,
the Democratic nominee against Rey-
burn, is complimented with a chairman.
snip, and Senator Emery'S assignment
to the chairmansliip of the finance COM
mittee, Stewards to constitutional
reform and Everhart'a TO federal rc!a-
tions, are all in the line OF fair dealing
to those of his party to whom Reyburn
owed less than TO Lee. who is given the
less important committee of new coun-
ties and county seats.
On the OF her hand, the independents
have been wonderfully and it seems, in a
spirit of sarcasm, grouped upon theccm.
mitteps of constitutional reform, cen
tenniil and accounts ; they lave been
vigorously excluded from the commit
tees on railroads, corporations and legis
la:ive and congressional appGrtinnment
the Republican part of the camn.ittee OF
municipal affairs is not made up "ith {

and, while Senator Coke is assigned t(
five committees, he is not placed OF
those of such Importance as his ability
and po;entiaiity in the affairs of this
