have heard of a fond mother, who
was much exercised and greatly alarmed
at the appearance Of her yea old, stout
and chubby boy. He was broken cut
with plmples or blotches. and she feared
he had taken chicken.pox or some more
fearful disease. She anxiously called IN
physician who, after a most profound
examination. with great dignity and
tuayltv, pronounced it ouiv an exuber.

b after mature consideration ~ the
decorations in our churches on Easter
Sunday. concluded that it was only an
"exubrrance Of piety. rather harmless,

vision down to July 1, 1886. The purchasing
committee has asked the bond and stock
holders to scan the report carefully and decide
whether or not they will Join In the proposed
reorganization scheme. II they should decide
negatively the committee will proceed with
the reorganization independently of them.
The local freight agents of the east.bound
trunk lines held a meeting at Chicago on
Thursday to consider the published charges of
extensive rate cutting Newspaper articles on
the subject have had the effect, for the time
being, OF at least nominally restoring the rates,
The local agents, having no authority TO act,
could do nothing except 10 put in disclaimers
for their respective roads. The managers of
Chicago roads were telegraphed TO meot COM
missioner blanchard yesterday ut his Office and
renew their pledges to maintain rates ut tariff
and discipline their agents.

A Reply From Secretary Cruger.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: The article
published in your paper to-day about the
finances OF the Washington Light Infantry
corps is in great measure mere bosh, and was
evidently inspired by person whose standing
in the organization is In no sense good; in fact,
his account Is marked N. q. (no good) ON the
books Of the corps That is doubtless the rea-
son why he knows SO much about one-sided
ledger account.
As the active and honorary contributing
that, at every monthly meeting Of the corps,
statement is given, setting forth every penny
that is paid by active or honorary contributing
members, and at the end OF each year my re-
port shows the exact amount that has been
collected
All Of these reports are examined by the
finance committee, and II not correct are 80
reported 10 the corps. All excursions have
been reported upon, except the last, and per.
hAps the instigator of the article in question
has the few tickets that are yet unaccounted
for, and which prevent full report OF the
know the corps would be very glad II the
member whom your reporter interviewed
would furnish his name He has shown such
great ability as q tlnancier-L e., in asking ques-
tions-thnt he might be quite an acquisition 70
the board of managers, He certainly would
soon be able TO answer all the questions he has
asked.
My fellow-members of the corps will, of
course, understand that l have written this
article In ylndication of the office have the
honor 10 hold nthe corps. Very respectfully,
j. HAMILTON CRuGER,
Financial Secretary, W. L. 1. Corps.
