Veterans Reunion.

Mr.. NJ. +. Sweeney, has been engaged

Sweeney & Walker in the case of John

pending in the St. Louis courts. Mr.. E.
D. Sweeney is the attorney for the Wa

Missouri, was present as attorney for the
plaintiff, As soon as the business part Of
the judges visit had been accomplished
he asked for DR.. Gregg. The doctor
happened to be passing by and Mr..
Sweeny called him up and introduced the
Judge. As soon as the doctor heard the
others name, he grasped the judges hand
and shook it long and warmly They
had been through the war together and it
was the first time they had met since
then. They stood side By side at Shiloh
fighting until the surrender. They were
taken prisoners together and inhabited the

campaign and close friendship sprang
up between them. After the war they
became separated the Judge gaining dis
tinction as a lawyer in Missouri, while
the doctor be came honoled and respected
in his profession in this city. Ii was q
joyful meeting of these veterans, aud for
two long hours they sat there and re

were side by side before. And not the

present century and have since grown into a
renuwn rs Wids as that of tic giant cedars
OF California, some Of which stood where
they now stand before the Hebrew Bible
was recorded or the eaI hest .choric hymns OF
the hiudoos rose along the borders
Of the five rivers. One Of those mighty
trees, now hurled down and stretched along

A Remarknhle LADY,.

Justice S. F. Cooke received letter
yesterday from his sister, at Memphis,
Tenn, which is wonderful production
of the pen. The lady is over eighty years
of age, and yet the page of letter looks
as though it might have been printed from
a stell plate. 1t is uniform throughout
with no running of the line or shaklness
in the lines of the letters. AL is smooth
and perfect and the writing generally is
free and well rendered. 1t is pcnmanship
of which any young lady might be proud,
and is entirely feminine. The lady has
been wonderfully preserved for the time
she has lived and in full use of all her
faculties.

TRUSTWORTHY MEN.
Let the Democrats Select Their Candi.
dates Without Reference to the
Ferry Monopoly.

The Union must not put words in the
mouth of the ARGUS never uttered by it.
The ARGUS is warmly in favor of full
ticket composed of unimpeachable dem
ocrats, who are known to be loyal TO the
grand old democratic party. 1t does not
favor wishy ,washy men who call them
selves democrats, and who upon an
emergency and crisis in the democratic
party, can be approached by republicans
to use them for the purpose of demoral>
izing the democratic party, and breaking
its front The Argus stands by true
and loyal democrats at all times.
But the Union has started out on IA new
tack 1t not only proposes TO dictate to
the republican party. who shall be its
nominees, but under the inspiration of the
ferry company and Capt. Robinson, it
proposes to tell the democratic party
whom it shall place in nomination for
city offices Why should the Union
and Capt. Robinson have any influence
with, or dictate terms, to democrats
Robinson's personal friends boast that
the republican party shall do what he
tells them to do. because of his generous
and liberal contributions to the Blaine
campaign fund. They insist Robinson
has a mortgage on the republican party.
and if it fails to do as he dictates, that he
will close the mortgage and wipe the
party out at his own sweet will.
Well, as to the republican party, We
have nothing to say, but we have some>
thing TO say as to the democratic party.
Just now we are not running things to
suit the republican party. The old dem
ocratic party has once more control Of
this grand government. We are going TO
run il in the interests of the masses of
the people. President Cleveland is com.
ing back to the pure principles of the
JcffersOnian democracy, and he is going
to make this government by the aid Of
our party, the bright sun light of govern
ments. The Union and Capt Robinson
must net tell the democratic party who
their standard bearer shall be. That party
is capable of selecting its own candidates,
without any dictation from that source.
In the coming city election the demo-
Gratis are sure to win if they select their
best men, men in whom the people can
place confidence. Put a ticket Of thi;
kind in the field, and it will carry dismay
into the republicans, and result in a Clio
rious victory for the democrats.

The Shamrock.

Mrs. James Kennedy, whose husband
works for Davis g. Co, received letter
from her mother in Ireland, this morning,
which contained slips of shamrock. and
the mountain shamrock, the national en-
blem of Ireland Itcame too late to wear
on the great Irish national holiday, st.
Patrick's day. When in the old country
all true Irishmen wear ship of it on the
lapels of their coats, but it was Just in
time to escape the edict of the postofice
department that no shamrock shall be
carried in the mails, on account of the
damage which the moisture which ex-
udes from il does to other mail matter.
The slip of shamrock is dearly treasured
by Mrs. Kennedy as it was the first sig
MITIGATION she had received in long time
that her mother, who is over so years OF
age is still alive.

Postal Improvements

The changes in the rates for mail mat
ter in the bill passed by the last congress-
are great and of Importance. Instead of
paying cents for each half ounce for
letter postage the weight is increased to
one ounce so that twice as much weight
in letter will be taken after the law
goes into effect, as can be sent now, for
the same money. All newspapers sent
from publication offices or news agencies.
including sample copies, are entitled to
transportation at the rate of one cent per
pound. Any article, as in a newspaper
or publication, may be marked for obser-
walton, except by written or printed
words, without increase or postage. Ans
other, and most important improvement,
especially to business men is the provision
for the insurance Of a 10 cent stamp
which, when attached to letter in addi-
ton to the regular stamp for transmission
insures the delivery of letter by special
messenger at any time between o'clock
p. m, and midnight.

rHuRLow WEEDS STORY.
How a Lawyer Came TO His Derense-The
Secret Out.


TCroffut in New York World.l
The late Thurlow Weed, who was some
times called 1.-THE Priam of the Press, be-
cause he was the father of so many news
papers, once told me an interesting incident
of his life which has been inadvertently
omitted from his memoirs. 1t was during
the war of 1872 when he was living in Coop
erstown, n Y. the home of the yet un-
fiedged novelist, and was setting typo as
journeyman printer Il was 10 years Old
and fell in love with Catherine Ostrander,
my landlady's daughter, two years younger
than was. Her folks objected, very prop
erly, to her marrying strolling printer,
without money or anything else, anu
agreed to wait
"About this time got into bad scrape
|, with three other young fellows, who"ere
rather hard lot, was arrested on complaint
of four girl; whom we met at prayer

but we walked home with them, and they
made n charge Of improper conduct against

rich relatives, and prepared to go to jail.
At the examination told the justice that
had no lawyer and no money to pay one,
when, TO my great surprise, leading attor-
ney of the town, whom had never spoken
with and did not know, stepped forward
and gave bail for me and offered to defend

DR., Klnyon S Lecture

The y NJ c. A. have arranged for a
series of practical talks by well known
gentlemen which can but be of interest
to all. Last evening DR.. Kinyon gave
one which was instructive and well worth
listening to. He took for his subject
tine Human Organization and its Main
tenance He described the indicated
cells, of winch all living matter is COM
posed from the insignificant microscopic
and apparently lifeless forms which are but
a cell in themselves wrapping themselves
about and digesting their food, seemingly
without organs, to the human frame built
up of billions of these little cells, which
are the OutgrOwth of some other cell,
multiplying constantly to make the growth
and TO take the place OF old cells. He Illus
trated the providence of the arrangement
by which the bones of the young and
helpless are soft and pliable, and again
when they are old and feeble they are
weak and brittle, but when they have
reached full growth and have to bear the
burdens of young and old. the bones are
hard and strong The immense power Of
some Of the muscles received attention,
and the byccps was referred TO which
when weight Of ten pounds is raised in
the hand excrts force OF two hundred
pounds. The circulation of the blood and
the manner Of building up the different
parts Of the body and carrying off the
waste and dead material was described
The doctor said of the immense work
done by the heart, that it exerted $780,
600 pounds of force in twentyfour hours
in carrying on the circulation. The Ices
ture was listened to with the close atten>
ton which il deserved.

Of which they are now very proud. A

Crockcr's Fence.


Crocker's fence is one Of the sights Of San
Francisco. When Charles Croker, the part
ner of Stanford Hopkins and Huntington Of
the Central Pacific railroad and a man worth
many millions, bought his residence ON Cali
fornia street, he met with considerable oppo-
sition from property holder on Sacramento
street. Croker had acquired the entire
block, with the exception Of a single lot on
the Sacramento street side The owner Of
this. lot demanded an extra price for it,
which Crocker agreed to give. Then the
price was doubled and Croker accepted the
raise. Again and again was the ayariciOuS
seller satisfied, till patience ceased to be a
virtue. The railroad magnato got his mad
up and sent him word: Tell him to -. -
Croker built his house, laid cut the
grounds with rare good TASTE, and then
fenced in" his co-telant on the block. He
built fence fifty feet high on threa sides OF
the house on Sacramento street. Only the
front view remained unimpaired, and, as
Sacramento street is very narrow, the front
view is not matter to care much for. The
owner Of the house soon sickened of his bar
gain, and moved it bodily away, but Crock
er'S fence remains
