search, and the collection of statistics

farthest limit. 1t contains more veri-
fed facts concerning the climate OF
this region and its effects upon certain
diseases than can be found anywhere
else. Its perusal will we'll repay the
time and trouble taken.

When Leo XIII. Dies.

It has long been the unwritten law
OF the pontifical court that when a
Pope dies the cost Of erecting q suita-
bic monument over his remains shall
be betrayed in equal portions by those
OF the Cardinals he created during his
pontificate who may survive him, and
Leo XIII. decided long ago that he
shall be buried in that famous sacred
edifice outside of Rome known as the
Church of St. John Lateran. He has
even approved the design for his sepul-
chral monument which the official
Vatican architect drew up at his order;
80 that the Cardinals will not have any
trouble in settling the details. Mean.
while, His Holiness is himself spending
money lavishly on the church in ques-
tion, especially in connection with the
erection OF superb monument over
the tomb which now contains the ashes
of Pope Innocent I'LL, that masterful
pontiff who, besides placing France
under an interdict when Philip Angus
tus dared to divorce his wife in spite
of the Pope's caution, communicated
our own King John. London Figaro.

MARION, IND, August 9Th, 1889
Editor Neus.H Herald AS the greater
part of my time, for some time past, has
been devoted to not feeling well, there
fore, l will not write much, and will
save your readers much annoyance.
The soldiers reunion was held at the
Fair grounds at this place on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of last week.
On the second day there was grand
parade of the old comrades accompanied
by batteries OF artillery. There was
about 700 OF the old boys in line. After
the parade Major Steele delivered the
welcome address. He told the boys to
help themselves to anything they found
loose if they wanted it, that the city was
theirs, and they could do as they liked.
But they did not touch anything that
did not belong to them. A more quiet
and orderly set OF men you seldom ever
see. After the speech they returned to
camp, and at six o'clock put themselves
around an old fashioned camp supper,
in which your humble servant partici.
pated. After supper the camp fire, and
a grand one at that, was kept up until
after ten o'clock. The time was occu.
pied in speech making, old war songs,
war "reminiscences, declamations by both
ladies and gentlemen, and music by the
glee club. The third day was taken
up in social chat until about $3.50 p. M,
when the pickets began to fire. The
battle begun, and such rattling and clat.
ter Of musketery, artillery and the Cat
lin gun. 1t "licked the skinner" After
the battle was over and the dead and
wounded were cared for, the boys
stacked arms, many of them for the last
time. But hope they may be spared
to see mary more grand reunions. May
peace and prosperity attend them
through the remainder OF their lives is
my wish.
There were about $4,000 persons wit.
