| IL ls generally supposed that II any body OF
men require harmony 10 win In contest
| II &c q military company, in which 80 much
| depends upon mis'step or htlight coiiis'
| s!on. But the st. Louis military think
| differently, and have peen oc'
cSPSg,,nf cSIPS,ngf thS ias Msas,os sase's
drill IN quArreling amongst themselves TO
such nn extent that thsso have been impor-
thnt changes In the RANKS OF the regiments
officers, which eeemsd 10 augur not oaiy
failure IN the drill trial but an early DIS
banding Of the militia itself. Colont ID. I.
Slattery and Lieuteusnt'Cclonel W. L:
Hazard, OF the Frat regiment, have found
II unpleasant 20 longer mold their positions
| and few days ago resignad. Ihey gave no
special reasons Tor leaving except that
painful dlscord reigned everywhere In their
camp. This explosion was Immediately
followed by the enforced resignation OF
Captain Cooke. who will never again walk
IN front OF the Bhin Xouhvee. The hoys Of
THE departed ieader's command claimed
that when on u recent tX-uIbion they o)r-
| tfibuted TO the expenses OF the IT ana lett
the funds with their trusted captain, they
| received no bsu'iit from their
donation and thai b, - vent 20 enrich
personal purse. TGis Was too much for
even the garefnua hearted H)uavss ana
from thst line hey made their oomm9nd-
er'sstny w!,h iAem anything bui peiiuu
OF bliss. ArSl tbese ruptures /; Was txpec-

peacsable emulation. Bot unfortunately

mace by number OF gentlemen Interested
| In the st. Louis militia 10 force the fesig1E
| ton of BriEGdier-General Lawrence
who few months ego, Wss taken
from the frat regiment by Governor
| Uittenden and mate brgadisr general.
| The open rivalry between the two regiments
necessarily did not assure warm welcome
TO tho new general, who found T., not the
| famous thornH. certainly u large number OF
unfriendly bay onets pointed bis way, tert
ously endsngeringa popularity that wa
never great enough 10 arouse much entuu
siasm, and wnieh might be easily mistaken
for cold expression o! respect. However,
the promotion set well upon the
new incumbent aud he minded
none of the ire in mis-
rear, until finally his peculiar actions cAus-
cd bis old comrades-the First-to turn
grumbling song. An experienced soldier
ought TO know that when mis- old asscciate5

oppol ents against him, IL IL about time for
q change; bat this General Lawrence didn't
appreciate In its full meaning, until he re-
c9iyed a letter from the men who had rec
| ommended him for the promotion, request.
| Jog him 10 let some one take his place.
This had the intended effect, the governor
soon receiyirg the desired resignation. The
| 49,. 1t.t.l lnv
| W. L. Sherman us compliment, but up to
the present writing nothing definite is
known ds 10 its aoceptaucs or rejection.
| Some argue that the old warrior should
not accept 1t, being United States officer,
claiming that Il would dclEsot from the in.
iluenoe Of the state over her own soidieiy.
| Others sre equally earnest in favor

he IS heartily In sympathy with all mill

he s besides the idol # he young soldiers
OF st, Louis. Thus the matter stands.
| By tho way, speaking of
rECUMsEH,
one is reminded OF the great esteem l.
which be IL held by the people OF this city,
ana how much he appr c!aied i, when on
retiIement no overlooked ~ the

mention Of the fact that the hero is 10 be
present at any meeting ia nlNayE suhicient
to crowd the hal, because people Lave
come to know that IL there is any oppor,u-
uity at all, General Sherman Will be COM
PEELED by popular pressure 70 give expFes-

There has been somewha. of
social sensation In The
blooded circles OF our society the past week,
and the curious tongues OF upper tepdom

the conclusion arrived at or the
only other one-that he was hard up; and
any body who knows OF psacock's pride

may se so with those who think that Il

The most
| NOTABLE WEDDING
that has occurred recently was the mar
rigge OF Mrs. ri. Il. Dsvereux, sister
of ArehbIshop Ryan, Of this city, and
Colonel Z. s. Bowen, OF New York.
The ceremonials were quiet and unossen-
tatious, but the brides fascinating powers
as a society lady rippled the wave OF corn
monplsce and made Il altogether inter
esting.
There Is az present number of invssti-
cations going on which include post.mss-
ter, politicians and members OF the Guy
council. Mono Is as yet finished. and II
would be premature T. speak ot them "a
this letter. II looks as though 81. Louis
would hes. American cities In two things
this wear: Failures to secure conventions,
sud uncovered ir uds in municipal affairs.
