We had IN our company slao-slaed- long
legged chap named Aaron Smith His race
wore a constant look of second mourning
and his voice was enough to remind the most
careful nearer of gTayestones and weeping
Willows. More as a joke than for any good
reason. the boys elected Aaron corporal,
and ever after that he went by the name OF
Corporal Solemncholy.
RnII ruu was our first fight. We were in
the neigbborhOod of the Henry house, ao-
yancing upoua section OF artillery, when l
saw Corporal SCHENECTADY take tumble W
the ground, roll over and kick, and had no
dout,t that he wasdOne for. We were drlv-
en back. and by and by the panic toliowea.
and away we went for Washington. About
a week after this. while the company was
sncamped at Arlington. the corporal walked
up ON US one day and drawied:
"You are purity lot of dod-gasted pump

A decision of a most important character
was delivered by the supreme court of Mss
issippi. An insurance company at Vicks-
burg resisted the payment OF policy on the
grounds that the Insured had made oath in
taking out their privilege license that their
stock was only valued at certain sum. but
insured the same for much larger amount.
ThsIower court gave judgments against the
insurance company, and the case was ap-

Worthless Public Buildings.

The architect of thethree new state insane
hospitals has received information that the
new boiler-house of the Evansville, Ind,
hospital which has cost 10000, will prove
o. total wreck Cracks in the foundation
and nam walfs are gaping wide. If it does
not soon tumble down it will be rebuilt.
The architect says it was built on bed of
Srfeksand and rf1at he urged as founda-
ton fifteen inches of concrete floor. 1t was
not done. 1t appears that the whole of
yanaef6nd county Is imiderkddswith qpitkf
sand, xnsi.in erecting great buildings. .:sacA
as The cilsr0m,n0use at Evansville, some
such method as suggested by Architect
Keteham is adopted for insuring the solidity
kgf the py1dstians. The main stlidipgs Yf
the hospital are on higher grounds and II Is
thought that they are IN no danger from the
Itreacherous sand. The loss sustained by the
state cannot as yet be measured.

LITERARY NOTES.

The PHANTOM CITY, a volcanic ro-
nance by William Westall, is a very
sensational story, the scene of which
is laid in the Cordilleras and is full OF
the most highly wrought situations.
The reader is kept on the alert from
the first chapter to the last, and at
some points the interest becomes in
tense. Oassell & Co., 739 Broadway,
are the publishers. Mans'ord Will
order it.

venient form. II is On admirable and
timely contribution TO the literature OF
health and proves beyond successful
contradiction that sail work and no

lecture should find wide circulation.
1t is well written and, while carrying

THE KEY NOTE, an illustrated week
ly review OF music and the drama, de-
serves the support Of the public for
its Just and Discriminating articles and
it's entir reliability. It does no. deal
in gush, In sloppy puffs o. brutal per
sonals. The editor, Mr., Archer, is one
OF the most accomplish musicians
on the continent and an organist OF
celebrity, who would not condescend
to anything but the truth. His knowl-
edge OF composers and compositions is
extensiye and his technical skill
second nature with him. He is doing
a world of good, and we wish him the
success he deserves.

sand Majority,

With the rising Of this mornings
sun dawns the eve OF great battle be-
tween the Democratic and Republican
rarties. Everything indicates a vic
tory for Demo cracy and the showing
under of the effort to put Shelby
county again under Republican ring
rule. What the majority will be is a
matter OF the purest speculation. The
lowest estimate is 1900, the highest
5000. This is based, Of course, upon
the belief that the full Democratic
vote will be polled. Unless this is
done the Republicans will win. The
vote is too close and the contest too
important 10 allow the superstition
that any man worthy the name OF citi-
zen will neglect to cast his vote for one
side or the other. The calculation is
also based upon the promise of the
merchants and Others to close their
doors and give their employees full
swing. Every vote counts.
