Considerable talk is going OH
about Il certain law passed by the
Congress of the United States, at il
period when charity and good will
were the controlling influences that
acluated its members, by which no
man who had ever served in the
Confederate Army should hold a
position in the regular Army above
that OF a Sergeant. The boys need
not worry over that law. There is
not probably a Confederate soldier
living who desires any such posi-
ton, and in case the government
should need the services of the sol
dierly element, the law does rot APP
ply 10 volunteer forces.

are painting for military fame need

attended Secretary Manning at his
home, gave the following statement to
an Associated Press reporter: The
Secretary was seized with vertigo on
his return to his Office from the Cabinet
meeting. He had been working all
day without taking any nourishment,
and was feeling very weak. He walked
up two flights of stairs, and on reach
ing the top was attacked with vertigo,
and partly fell and partly sat down.
His sudden illness alarmed his friends,
and he was taken home His mind
was perfectly clear, and he had free use
Of all his limbs, and gave very clear
account of everything that occurred.
Two or three hours after his attack he
had improved very much.
