WHO WILL BE POSTMASTER AT WEST POINT
Washington, July lot is understood that the
Senate Postal Committee Is unanimously opposed to
the confirmation Of George g. MccLlcm TO be Post
master at West Point, n. Y. There seems to DO no
charge against tho nominee: but the people of West
Point favor the retention OF Augusta H. Gerard who
has been their pos masie for twenty years. and do
not want Mcchlcm, who lives ten miles away.

IA, equipped by the Tenth ward, snoweo
the lrst Legislature of Ohio in session IN
,ts rude frame State House at the ancient
Capital--Chillicoth There were the
coarse desks, the rough benches on which
the lawmakers sat, and all the parapher-
MALTA. The Speaker Of the House sat at
mis- high desk, wearing o white wig, and
looking unusually impressive, just as Ii
he were as good man as Speaker Lamp
son at Columbus.
Float No. 10, in charge Of Ward Six,
showed sight familiar to all readers of
early Ohio history and adventures It
gave "Rattlesnake Den." Il showed
huge rock, from which the serpents
emerged, kissing and fuming and shoot
ing out their forked tongues in every d.
rection. Two hunters in front of the
rock, intent upon some other mission,
seemed entirely oblivious of the fact that
they had snakes---all around them.
The association of these two floats was
very suggestive, and was probably indi-
catiye of the feeling Of England that
they were merely variations Of one and
the same idea.
The Sixth Division was practically a
display of the tobacco industry, and was
not only one Of the most extensive, but
interesting Of the pageant. One Of Its
floats was pipe Of the days when
''there were giants" 1t would require
months wages to buy enough weed for
single smoke.
The Seventh Division was the longest
and most complete of all, representing
the greatest variety of subjects and In
terests, and in it was placed the display
Of the Geological Garden. This was
very interesting. First came an i'm.
mense bridge, thirty-five feet long--the
work Of the Queen City Bridge Com
pany. The Zoo elephant followed, and
Oh its back rode three little girls and two
boys. A band of Indians grotesquely
attired, was on u wagon, and next came
garden with more Indians, great bear,
fox, and several other animals. There
was still another-a wilderness scene;
there lion was carrying off babe, and
lioncss snnrled at q native African who
stood as though ready to drive spear
into the king of beasts. Numberless
ponies followed, ridden by children.
In this division genuine Cow County
OK stalked along in "go-as s.you-please"
style, and evidently considered himself
the procession.
The Eighth Division was composed of
trade displays, and was the finest ever
witnessed in the West.
The Ninth Division was Of the like
character, the display Of the Wells Fargo
Express Company being its most novel
feature The famous Deadwood coach,
drawn by six horses, was an "object of
interest," second only to the historic
"pony rider" who constituted Uncle
Sans mail carrier in early times. An
even hundred of the Police Force ended
q procession of which the foregoing can
give but faint idea. 1t will be long
ere the present generation will see its
equal, and those who did not see it must
content themselves with anticipations Of

muszle Of the gun," has been borne in
mind by those who devis these tre-
mendous engines of war, and in place OF
those who man them in action, risking
their precious lives near the place where
ball about the size Of a water bucket
hurriedly issues, to avoid being schorched
by the powder that has already burned
up its comfortable nest In the breech,
they keep In the background out Of
harms way-unless, indeed, the gun
should endeavor to usrRp the peculiar
duties of a Government mule, or the
performance of thrown-over applicant
for fat position. These ''great guns, :"
which, by the way, are not Of the vari.
ETY. that sailors say are blown on Father
Neptune's domain, are made in the latest
style, and are ''breech-loaders. It may
tend to reassure the timid also to state
that they are "Quakers. This is not
the case, however, with all the 'weapons
of offense" seen in that portion Of the
building. The Calling gun is there with
its circle of ugly-looking mouths, and
rifed steel cannon, whose missile will
knock an OK over, even after its force is
spent. There are also trophies Of war in
the shape of captured cannon, which are
veritable tramps-gray, or rather green,
with old age, from which the fortunes OF
war have stripped the polish but left
there instead the honorable scars and
honestly-earned homeliness Of veterans.
Scattered ut random among the guns are
samples of the missiles used In them.
There are immense solid balls, and those
which are as large, but which are not
solid, and all the more deadly for moi

with smaller ones, each one of which al

the Russian army during the Crimean
war, and perhaps might be one Of those
which impeded the progress Of the ''six
hundred" who charged onward" at
Balaklava. Our own ''late unpleasant
ncss' is vividly recalled by the presence
Of the stern part of the "Kearsage, {"
with the solids shot still in the ragged
hole, for which tho gunners of the "Ala-
bama" are to be blamed. In marked con-
trast to the metallic Titans, Of which
mention was made before, is the model
of Parrott gun, which modestly stands
in the rear of its big brother; yet, small
as 1t is, It can bite as we'll as bark.
While these things are usually viewed
as the enginery Of war, the idea forces
itself upon the mind that the constantly
increasing destructive power with which
they are being endowed is gradually
Transforming them into the most effec-
tive englnery OF Peace, and that the
knowledge of what they can do will pre-
vent the necessity for doing 1t.
