Going to School.

by Mrs. Margaret Z. Sdngstcr.l
There's army that musters its legions,
And marches to roll-call each day;
And happy and blest are the regions
Which lie in that army's bright way.
They troop over hillock and hollow,
They spring across brooklet and pool,
And gayly and cheeriy follow
The summons which bids them to school,
By thousands the army Is numbered.
Its soldiers are fresh as the morn;
Not one Is by sorrow encumbered
Not one is by care overborne.
AT declmais sometimes they stumble,
And sometimes by verbs are perpexed;
And the proudest grows saddened and humbled
When II question is passed to the next.
But forgot at the briefest vacation
Are problems and puzzles and prose,
The grief OF the stern conjugation,
That late was fountain of woes;
And the army goes back to its duty
The hour that play time is done,
Resplendent in love and in beauty,
Unmatched meath the light of the SUM
They gather, this wonderful army,
In field and in grove and iii street;
Their voices are music to charm me,
So ringing and eager and sweet.
Their checks are red Il cherry,
Ihelr eyes are as pure rs the day,
And the sound of their marching is merry,
wherever they pass on their way.
There are people forever assigning
ANA saying the world is all wrong;
But somehow their doubts take to flying
AT sight of this wonderful throng
The world may be clouded and weary,
OF trouble and toll may be full,
But at least there is hope where the CHEEKY
Dear children are going to school.

From the Philadelphia Times
The Senate Committee on Pensions is inclined 10
draw the line little tighter in order to close tho
gap in the Treasury for time. It did this yeSter
day by reporting adversely the House bill to in
crease the pensions to One-armed and one-legged
soldiers If this kind of policy is carried out it may
turn out after all that there Is somewhere in
the United States who cannot get pension.

Ants are very frequently seen busilv running
UP and down trees and plants which are in

charge of the lice and guard them from harm
with Jealous care, for which good services they
are amply paid in honey by The plant lice. The
ants approach the lice. and if there Is not an
accumulated supply, they touch them with
their antcnuP by way os reminding them of
their wants. and al once the lice respond with

became known that a big dinner was
prepared in Mr.. Edmunds' committee
room and that the bouquet men were
selected guests. Senator Butler aud
others determined to have some fun
at the expense of the brethren who
with eager appetite, slipped out OF the

JOY themselves, while their associates,
after an exhausting session of many
hours, proceeded to take fresh grip
upon the tariff. Just as the Edmunds
party had eaten half dozen raw. and

demanded their presence elsewhere

the feast and subject to interrIption
who did not have humorous attention
drawn to him was Mr.. Garland. He
owed his escape from merriment 10
the fact that he wore his old coat and
put no flowers in the button hole. The
moral of this is that Senators who
have banquet in prospect had better
not advertise it by dress suits and a
stunning floral display. The other
men. mad, tired and hungry, are sure
to put spider in the pudding and

petrated here. 1t is reported from
Washington that the warrant has been
issued for Sheridan's arrest, and he
himself says that he will be ready
when called upon. He will, therefore.
be taken before United States Com

cerated to await the arrival Of the
evidence of criminality upon which
the demand for surrender is made.
All the possibilities of the writ or

ernment may have such proofs of

The parent organization is located at

hand. He has secured the names of

This is 3 proper move and the old
Oonfederates Of Memphis should make
a similar effort. The heart aches and
flesh aches of the war are over and
the time has come when We look back
to the atirripg incidents of that great
struggle with piSssQre rather than
pain or regret. The survivors cam 1t
be too vigilant in gathering up an |
recording the events which are to en-
ter into future istory. The inside
life of the huublest astoriR that grea
drama will add mcrj to the charm and
favor CT future annals than the official
reports of any army commander.
Memphis has had aConfederateHisto-
rical andAsliof Association ever since
1868, but nothing vas ever accom-
plished in the way Of
collecting the records of
the war. There seems to be a re-
vival Of interest 10 regard to this
subject, and the time seems to hive
come to revive the organization and
70 to work again. This feeling has
been greatly quickened by the pres
ence Of Colonel Henry D, Cspers, Of
Rome, Ca, who represents the South
ern Historical Society at Richmond,
and is acting in cooperation with
General Fitzhugh Lee, who is ex-
peeted here on the 18th of this mouth.
The reception will doubtless be all
that should be accorded SUCH q man,
and will be worthy of Memphis. We
hope it will not stop at this. but lead
to practical results AMI bring out
