THE n1NaGoLD REUNION.
Tho Famous Cavalry battalion to Meet a
West Alexnnder,

On Friday, the 2lst inst, there is to be
areunion at West Alexander, Pa, Of the
famous Ringold Battalion OF Pennsylvania.
This old Union army organization was re.
cruited principally in Washington and
Greene counties. II was first cavalry
company, but rapidly grew so large that Il
was divided into three companies and
formed into a battalion. II was attached
10 the Department Of West Virginia, which
was under command OF General B. +.
Kelley, and in this connection the follow
ing letter received by Captain Carlin from
the brave old General is given:

And SO the row went on. Mr.. Mylesi
Mr.. Harrell, Mr.. Stanley, Mr.. Hildreth
and other leading members cried down
the foolish idea, but all to no avail, fol
finally Mr.. Sweeney aud number Of
those who were anxious TO get to work
and get home, trooped of towards the
Ark, and Others followed to see the fun, SO
that by the time the Ark was reached q
quorum was on baud.
In the meantime the First Branch had
been called to order in tho old Office for

and was proceeding with its business, but
after learning that the Second had acted
in the manner that 1t had, on motion oil
Mr.. ALI. Caldwell 1t adjourned and follow
ed to see the fun and concur in any action
that might be taken. Mr.. Caldwell said
that by doing this there could never be
any question about the legality Of what
might be done by Council or the Munich
pal Court, as for as the place in which ii
was done might be concerned.
The members OF Second on reaching
the Ark stumbled in over the rubbish and
litter left behind. The gas fixtures had
been removed and It was not until Mrs.
Johnston kiadly loaned a lamp that any
thing could be done. It was q CHASTITY
scene that the feeble rays Of the lamp re-
vealed The roll was called in sepul:
chral tone by Clerk Bowers, who was so
disguised with the proceedings that he
was almost sick. A quorum was present.
The reading of the minutes was dispensed
with and n resolution adopted making the
alleged required transfer.

city dads were wild. dizzy, foolish, idiotic
and cranky as 1T has oltentimes been

strangest, widest performance that the
cratic body ever INDUCED in during its
short but eyentiul career.
The members were called to meet in
regular semi-monthly session at the new
City Hall; 1t was to be the first meeting
in the new quarters.
By halEpast seven the large room for.
meriy used by the Governor as his outer
reception room, which had bsea assigned

chamber, was well filed with members Of
both branches. A discussion was started

DIR. Lincecum, of Texan fame. has
even improved upon Solomon by his dis.

Texas. America is essentially farming
country. and the agricultural ants arc
born farmers. They make regular clear

cept a particular kind of grain, known as
anti-rice. DR. Lincecum maintains that
the tiny farmers actually sow and Guilt
yate the anti-rice. DIR. McCook,
ON the other hand, is of opinion
that the rice sows itself and that
the insects part is limited to pre-
venting any other plants of weeds from
encroaching on the appropriated area In

The Armored War Ship Useless.


A French marine officer argues In The
Nouveile Review that the armor-clad ship
is as completely obsolete as the old three
decker. and in any future war no iron
clad should venture to put to sea TIL all
her opponents torpedo boats had been de-
stroyed. For this reason no more money
should be spent on the construction or
keeping up of armor-clad vessels ana
even those in progress should be aban
doned. The best type of boat is one al
most invisible, and quicker than the
largest sea- going vessels. France pos
sesses several that have proved themselves
very successful, but should have at
least 400
Those existing are registered at forty-six
tons, and carry coal for 1000 miles at
medium speed In case of need they could
steam twenty-five knots per hour, are
armed with four tOrpedoes, and cost $50,
900 each Ten vessels somewhat larger
are now being constructed The best type
of sea going torpedo boat should be about
131 feet long or less, and about twelve
feet wide; she should be manned by
fifteen or eighteen men, should carry pro
visions for twelve to fifteen days. and coal
for l, 800 to 2, 600 miles. She should be
able to steam twenty-five to twenty
FIVE miles an hour, and be
armed with six or eight torpedoes and
one machine gun. The cost would DC
from $50, 600 to $75, OOO AS a great ma

The Philadelphia Time

The Philadelphia Times, which
has been printing recently series
of forcible editorials in which the
merchants and others of that CITY
are charged with provincialism and
lack of commercial acumen and en-
terprise, reproduees in its issue of
Monday the following well-timed
article from the Bellefontaine pa
Watchman, on the causes which led
to the loss of the southern trade by
the Quaker City: Twenty-Five years
ago Philadelphia had the southern
trade almost exclusively. To-day it
does not have one tenth of it. Why?
People who don't want to look the
matter squarely in the face or ack-
nowledge their own foolishness may
lay it to shameful provincialism,"
when the truth is it is the ''intoler-
ent political bigotry" of its capital
lists, its merchants, its financiers and
its citizens. individuals or commu-
mites do not, as general thing,
patronize their enemies. And where
in all this broad land has the south,
as section, a bitterer, more yindic-
tive or abusive enemy than Phila-
delphia, as city? Her newspa-
pers TEEN with continual condemna-
ton of the south and her people, her
societies and clabs denounce them
in their resolutions, her stump speak
ers point to them as outlaws and
ruffians, her capitalists contribute TO
any and every movement or cause
designed to annoy, belittle or de-
grade them, and her people approve
of all that is said and done at the
polls. What else is there for the
south to do in a business way but 60
by Philadelphia, with her millions
upon millions of traffic yearly, to d
city where her people, their opinions
and institutions receive at least re-
spectful consideration"
