The Topeka correspondent of the
Kansas City Journal saws: When
Governor Martin was delivering his
memorial address at Minneapolis last
Saturday he departed from the usual
custom. and gave brief sketches of III
dividual members of his regiment. who
had died in battle. Among those Il
whose memory a tribute was paid, W a.
Sergeant John W. Long, a member OF
COMPANY l. Seracaht Long had been
wounded al Chicamauga and nj Peach
Orchard. and finally gave up
his life December 10Th, 1864
at Nashville. Tennessee. lie
was man of good principles. brave.
and in every way model soldier.
This being the case, his record was
dwelt upon AT length. After the GER
emonics were over a citizen of Mime
apolis brought up 10 GOV. Martin a
Young man whom he introduced as the
son of Sergeant Long. il was then
found out that the Young man. born
the day his father was killed. now
grown 10 manhood. had gone out TO
Minneapolis q stranger. seeking a To-
cation. lie did not know a person in
the city. and wandered into TIE rink
where the governor was speaking.
quite by accident. Soon the name of
his father fell upon his ear. and for
the first time in his life he heard a
stranger TO him pronounce words of
praise of one - near and vet strsn-
ger Ii can easily be imagined that
the meeting was one memorable 10
both the old and the new generation.

Last Sunday evening the beautiful

The most Respondent deed for charity $

the occasion. Ticket; were IS each;

language of the brilliant belle who was asked
at the close of the entertainment, if she felt
satisfied with the measure Of success which
her efforts had achieved.
How could it he otherwise she replied;
Mrs Potter wore q costume which she had
imported from Paris for the purpose. Moth

material, as you see, is silk-soft, lustrous,
old gold in color and luxuriously hand

The recent electrical congress in New York
paid especial attention to the problem of under
ground wires, and did much to reach solution
of its difficulties. Reports were made of the
working of various systems, and 1t was shown
that wires can be successfully and economically
operated when thus buried and out of the way.
The chief obstacle has not been nature but mo-
nopoly. From the first, the reform has been
opposed by the companies, but they are now
beginning to show a more friendly spirit as they
perceive that public opinion does not intend
TO let legislation on the subject become dead

familiar round. The improvement will be

There may have been good excuse for the
original publication of the licentious atrocities
of London. but the latest aspects of the move
ment violate the planest dictates OF decency.
1t is almost inconceivable that mothers should
let their young daughters be hauled through
The streets in wagons under notices of scorn
and reproaeh. That a vast crowd attended this
demonstration goes without saying. 1t Is easy
to collect a mob in London for any purpose,
and the scandalous character of the morality
parade, so called, would be sure to draw all the
idlers and gossip-mongers in the city. The
movement seems TO be rapidly losing the coun-
tenance of those who at first approved ii, and

gance much similar emotional sensations

He has found opera in Munich as improbable
