The Prussian Hallway Regiment.

The Railway Corps of the German
Empire consists of Prussian regiment
and a Bayarian company, the latter
being precisely like Prussian COM
pany in every respect. The Prussian
Railway Regiment (das Eisenbahn-
Regiment) is organized in regiment
al staff and two battalions Of four
companies each. A company in peace
commissioned officers, and 100 privates.
Tho regiment is for excellent reasons.
for all purposes of training. placed i'm
mediately under the general staff. It
is only by being constantly in immedi-
ate contact with the best and most se-
lected officers of the German Army
that the officers of the Railway Corps
can be expected to know and learn
what is required of them. They are
thus able to know the slightest altera-
ton taking place in German and for
eign railway matters, rs well as every
change or innovation in foreign armies.
They have, moreover, immediate ac-
cess to men of high authority, and can
thus at once make known their ideas
in quarters where they can take effect
without delay. The naateriet given to
the PrHssiaB Railway Regiment is very
considerable, and Is 8 stfikipg contrast
to the parSimony in the use and ea,
penditure of stores generally practicel
in the German service, thus showing
the great Importance attached to the
efficient training of this new branch of
the army. The regiment, in fact,
actually possesses and works by itself
a line from Berlin to the artillery prac-
ticc ground near Lutterbaeh. some 80
English miles long. 1t has been given
in addition large practice ground.
with every facility of training recruits.
Here the latter are taught laying sleep
ers, rails, and telegraph wires, de-
stroying and repairing lines and en-
gines. in fact every kind of railway
work, and bridges have been bEiIt to
train men in the repair OF broken
arches, etc, and destroyed railway
works of every kind. The regiment
has an ample supply of rolling-stock OF
engines, passenger carriages, good
vans, trucks. etc. There is thus every
facility for training men to act rs port
ers or unskilled workmen in the load
ing and unloading of warlike and 9TH
er stores. and teaeGipg non-commis-
stoned officers and arliticers engine
driving. the care and repair of engines,
the duties of tiremen, pointsmen, shun-
ters, etc, and finally the duties of
railway guards or the management of
trains and regulation OF traffic. The
strength of the Railway Regiment,
large as it is in peace, would be enor-
mously increased were it modified for
war. Befors the second battalion was
raised Paris and Helldarf put the
strength of the German Railway Corps.
when modified for war. at eight COM
panies of artiiicers, four traffic COM
panies, and two companies of unskilled
workmen (Bau-Betriebsund Arbeiter-
Compagnien.) This has, of course,
been very much added to by the crea-
tion of the second battalion in 1875,
and we shoIld not be MUCH out if we

Washington's First correspondence.

Here are two letters that were writ
ten by two boys who became great and
good men. Now, while we are about
to commemorate the anniversary OF
our Nations birth, it is pleasant to look
back to the days when those two great
patriots were only boys like the rest on
US.
The first letter is from Richard Hen
ry Lee, who spoke so boldly and acted
so bravely for our country in the time
of her great peril and need:
"Pa broug ght me two pretty books
full of pictures he got them in Alexan-
dria they have pictures of dogs and
cats and tigers and elefants and ever
SO many pretty things cousin bids me
send you one them it has picture OF
an elefant and little idian boy on
his back like uncle* JOS sam pa says
if learn my tasks good he will let
uncle jo bring me to see you will you
ask your ma to let you como to see me.
RICHARD HENRY LEE.
To this letter Washington sent the
following reply:
"Dear Dickey thank you very much
for the pretty picture book you gave
me- Sam asked me to show him the
pictures and I showed him all the pic
lures in it; and l read to him how the
tame elephant took care of the master s
little boy. and put him on his back and
would not let anybody touch his mas
ter's little son. I can read three or
four pages sometimes without missing
a word. Ma says l may 60 to see you
and stay all day with you next week if
it be not rainy. She says l may ride
my pony Hero if Uncle Ben will go
with me and lead Hero. have little
piece of poetry about the picture book
you gave me, but l mustn't tell you
who wrote the poetry.
&C. WIS compliments to r. H. L.
And likes his book full well,
Henceforth will count him his friend,
And hopes many happy days he may end
Your good friend,
George Washington.
II am going to get whip top soon,
and you may see it and whip it. p"
In less than half century after
writing this child-letter, this same
George Washington stood before vast
assemblage of people, and. with his
hand upon the Bible. took the oath as
the first President of the United States.
Long live George Washington,

we have had the exclusive sale of the
Rockford Quick Train Railroad Watch
for the past three years. No OTHER
PARTY CAN BUY THEM FROM THE FAC
TORY, OR HAS ANY RIGHT TO SELL
THEM. 1t seems to us much like boys
play to get angry and advertise prices
because they cannot buy the goods.
We trust the publication of prices will
continue through the whole list, az we
have no money to advertise goods no:
in stock. Such desperate efforts will
not deceive any. The people know
that We have never cursed the place as
ready to be fenced in, because we were
going to leave it. They know that u e

Don't you wish you were here on this side of

'we think it's much nicer out here in the

Than shut up where you are, inside on the

And now am sure that my lesson is plain:

SeasOnable Remarks.

Fall does not come until the ther-
mometer falls.
1t requires no skill to play the kazoo.
All that is needed is wind and a gener-
al desire to be disagreeable.
The campaign lie must be nailed as
soon as possible, else orators will be

Editor Democrat :.

Once more ! am roaming the hill.
and dales of my childhood's home
and gathering the wild flowers anG
wandering beside the creek where
l have spent so many happy days,
A panorama of the past seems to
pass before mel see the home OF
my childhood, the wild blooming
flowers; oak rrees beneath whose
shade my sisters, brother and the
friends Of my childhood oft have
played. My loving, gentle mother
and father, all the loved ones have
passed away. Fond memory brings
to light other days around me; the
old school house, where we have
spent many happy days in the mer-
ry dance upon the Hill. Happy
days OF childhood! passed never
to return. The wild flowers are
blooming, where once we slept in
peace; where oft we have lisped
the childish prayer beside our mo-
theirs chair, and listened to the
song of the whippoorwill, or watch
ed the gentle moon as she shed
her bright rays in the midst of trees
and flowers where oft we have
played in the beams of her silverv
light. The old saw mill stands
where once was a pretty brook
after wandering in cbangeful scenes
how many joys and sorrows have
passed away. l feel like one who
treads alone, whose garland is dead;
all but me departed. One sweet
JOY is left me-all shall meet again
in the bright portals of heaven.
