regimontal reunions were held this after
noon. About 100 people gathered at
the National Soldiers Home for disabled
veterans where he men passed in review
before Gen. Sherman and party. Gen.
Sherman was received with immense en-
thuslasm and made a briet speech in
which he says it is the last he will ever
make. The general said: Bows, my
speaking days are over; | am not going to
make any more speeches | am always
glad to see SO many soldiers looking hearty
and healthy.
II think we can stand on our legs yet.
like to see that our old Uncle Sam
takes good care of these old soldiers-Un-
Gle Sam cannot make old men young but
he can make young men lust as good as
you or | ever were. | see Milwaukee is
full of them and they ale coming out of
the bushes everywhere. We have passed
through one crisis of our countrY's his
tory. | don't see any chance of another
but nobody knows the future.
Bring up your children to love and VEN
crate the old soldier who fought in 1861
65 and maxi then uncover their heads
when they see the banner you followed in
the days which tried us to the utmost.
Let us venerate that flag and love our
our country anu love each other and stand
by each other as long as we have heads on
our shoulders and legs on our bodies.
Those old soldiers who marched against
the enemy in those trying days a CRATE
full ouutry tries its best to assist and
will | think, in fact | am sure, be good
to you when you get too old. All hat is
necessary is to keep Young as long as you
can and do not go into a soldiers home
If YOU can helm it.

Stocks and CarrIe Markets.

New YORK. Ang. 2S-The stock mar,
ket throughout the day was fairly active
and feverish with specialties showing
marked strength or weakness and the
general list fairly steady with a general
upward tendency in the forenoon which
gave way to the Rio Grande movement

traded in are slightly lower than last eve

that stock more active than usual and

The Civil Service Commander
before leaving for the west ad-
dressed a letter to the President
asking him to have all the appoint
ments made in the Census bureau
taken from its lists of eligibles
1t is not likely that the President
will comply with this request as
most people believe that Congress
intended these appointments to be
made outside of the Civil Service
rules.

Samoan commissioner, and the
administration has a good right to
feel both pleased and proud.
Sunday Telegraph: The ap-
pointment of General Fairchild as
one of the commissioners to
purchase lands of the Cherokee
Indians is very popular one
The fitness of General Fairchild
for the performance of the duties
of the position will not be ques-
toned by any one. But the
appointment affords the democrats
an excuse to speak unkindly
about the gallant old veteran
because of the pronounced way in
which he took off his coat and
shook Grover Cleveland at the
time he issued his order, in 1887,
directing that the rebel flags be
returned. The office is worth
5000 and expenses, which, SO far
as money-making is concerned, is
vastly better than Minister to
England, or any other frst-class
mission.

commissioner of Indian affairs,
and it pays $4,000 a year, being
one of the desirable divisions of
the department. Judge Noyes is
admirably fitted for a place of this
kind by habits and education, and
he is strongly recommended by
chief clerk Bross, of the Wiscon-

Moves served as clerk to the COM

that the judges chances for the
place are good, as it is now vacant
and there is no strong pressure

Queer Articles Which Take the Place Ga
Gold and Silver.
At meeting of the Academy of Sci
ences of San Francisco, number OF
years since, Mr.. Stearns presented a
paper upon the money of uncivilized
man, in which he remarked that the
durability and ease of manipulation Of
shells have long caused them to be en-
ployed in domestic intercourse and
trade; and, among these, he first
enumerated the common clam of the
eastern coast of the United States, the
purple portion of which constituted the
wampum, or one class of their money,
while another was made from the axes
of a species of Pyrula. In each shell
about half an inch in diameter of the
inside is of this purple color, and this
was converted into beads, which tn ey
called Suckanhock, or black money,
and had twice the value of their white
money or wampum proper, which was
made of the Metauhock or Pyrula. This
was used not only among the Indians,
but among the whites; and it is re-
marked that the solid cash with which
the salaries Of ministers were formally
paid included black and white wam-
pun. The money of the west-coast
Indians is a species of tusk-shell, or
Dentalium, resembling a hollow ele-
plants tusk, the worth depending
upon the length of the shell. These
are strung on corns and worked up in
various forms of beaded and other
ornaments, having a distinct value
among the Indians, according to the
size of the shell and their number,
quite as fixed as that of the specie or
the paper money of the United States.
The use of the money cowry in Africa
is well known, many tons of the shells
being annually imported to Great Brit
ain, and again exported for barter
with the native tribes. Christian at

The long-pointed corsage is Of white
satin, stiff with the same needle-work,
and draped about the shoulders and
down the front with scarf of old rose
crepe, which is embroidered in gold
and silver and cashmere colors. An
other one of these lovely toilets is a
tea gown of dull old rose crepe (Mrs.
Vanderbilt's favorite color), the whole
embroidered with exquisite garlands
of roses and leaves in natural colors.
This opens over petticoat OF plain
rose-colored crepe, and from the OPEN
ing at the waist to the bottom there
are loops and ends of green and rose

The back is fitted tightly and the
fronts hang half loosely. The sleeves
are flowing with lace under-sleeves.

built up his fame on his ravishing
combinations of rose and green. He
