thorities at the Four Courts are alarmed

MORE QUERIES.

RICHMOND, Va, January 27.-M
Editor: Does the Legislature have control
of affairs at the Capitol or mott II such ID
the case, then why should The Register
of the Land Office, when called upon 10
show why he appointed the present engi-
necr at the Capitol, say that the fireman
Mr. Henry Richards, was an experienced
engineer, and was appointed as such by
the Governor two years ago.
Does that release the engineer In case
OF an accident? Does il implicate the
fireman. Mo- 1t only shows that peo.
pie are rewarded not according to merit
but according to the sly chances taken
in order to gain certain points.

Senator George G. Vest, of Missouri, has
two moods, the talkative and the silent This
week while in the city he was in a silent
mood, and wore his black SLOUGH hat far down
on the left side of his head His hat is the
barometer that indicates his moods. When
he feels in the humor to pass conversational
Rubicon his hat is thrown squarely back
from his high, round forehead, and rests
jarntily on the back Of his head. In stature
the noted orator is squatty, and inclined to
be bowlegged His lower limbs are consider
ably attenuated for the good sized body they
carry around His face is very round and
pallid There are wrinkles fast coming and
no whiskers to hide them, only q struggling
gray mustache. Every man has, so to speak,
his dressing center or focus. With dudes the
collar and tie is the focus, but with the sena-
tor everything is subordinate to the shapeless
SLOUGH hat that picturesquely adorns his head
the year round. The senator is still strong
advocate of President Cleveland for a second
term, and fully believes he will be nominated
and elected Senator Vest, more than any
other man, controls the Federal patronage in

the timely arrival of Butcher, who had
marched in haste at the sound of battle. And
example after example might be cited to
prove that upon the marching power alone
of armies has depended the fate of battles
and nations It is actually fact that tao
tics alone, Independent Of questions of supe-
rior armament, quality Of troops, ETC., has
very seldom decided the success of battle.
On the other hand, many campaigns have
been won with scarcely a gun being fired, by
the strategic marching Of armies under
skiilful general Often also has the loss Of
life on march been fully as great as that
caused by battle Thus in the winter cam
paign OF 1s77-7S, the Russians under Gurko
lost 1000 men from freezing in one storm,
lasting four days, through which they
marched. During the same storm the
Twenty-fourth Russian division at Shipka
Pass lost 6,OO0 men, 80 per cent. of its
strength, from the same cause. The terrible
losses Napoleon's army experienced in its re-
treat from Moscow are familiar history
