Owing to the inclemency of the weather,
the Gettysburg Reunion was not a success.

prayer, and the Arion Society sang "Praise

General J. P. s. Goblin, of Lebanon, late
Colonel Forty seventh Infantry, transferred
the monuments in the name of the com
mission to Governor Beaver.
Governor Beaver then arose, and after
the applause that greeted him had sub
sided, accepted the memorials in behalf of
the Commonwealth. He referred to the
part taken by the Pennsylvania commands
and Generals, making prominent the TACT
that Meade, Hancock, Reynolds and Buford
were citizens Of the Keystone State.
Isaac Pennypacker then read poem
entitled Gettysburg" Captain Joseph
G. Rosengarten, of General Reynolds staff,
related the story of 'The First Day s
Battle" and General G. Ii. Bingham was
vigorously applauded on his account OF
''The Second and Third Days"

IT is quite possible that the people OF
New York have counted much too CON
fidently on securing the proposed World 5
Fair for 1892 They have insisted that no
other city has the slightest chance, and
they have appointed committees and dis
cussed sites with good deal of enthusiasm.
But in Chicago something more than this
has been done. There headquarters has
already been established and subscriptions
TO a large amount have been secured. 1t
is stated that Mr. Pullman alone has offer
ed 800, 900, and that four other citizens are
ready to follow his example. The en-
thusiatic Mayor Of Chicago, who was in
New York last week, told U0rld reporter
that his city "will, if the site is given to
her, guarantee $S,000,000 in sixty hours
after she hears the news" This statement
may very possibly be an exaggeration; but
it is calculated to dispel the calm conf
dence of the New Workers that their rivals
are not really in earnest. "If Chicago has
the Worlds Fair" adds the Mayor, 1T
won't cost foreign exhibitors cent for the
transportation of their goods from the
steamers to our city-not cent. Chicagoll
pay for it," This boast the WOrld con-
siders important enough to put with all the
emphasis of full-face type at the beginning
of the interview with that official.

THERE is frequent remark that the min
ing laws of this country are far behind
those of Great Britain in protecting the
miners. The British miner does not have
to take the risks incident to the presence
of ignorant foreigners, yet accidents are
not so much less frequent there as one
might expect. They are wholesale IN
their slaughter, too, the last reported as
occurring near Edinburgh having sixty
victims.

The flowers on tho heath have closed thoiT
sweet eyes,
And the far away BtGrs shine bright in the skies.
Now darkness has gathered DER mountain aud

And Oh the soft breeze comes the night birds

While hRllowed memories steal DER the soul.
Awakening emotions We cannot control.
Now memory is busy recalling to life
Tho pleasures of childhood of manhood and

or hopes long deferred Of rcycrsrs sustained,
OF trials well borne, Of victories gained.

When the spirit, grown faint from sorrow and

In silence releases its tenure ofl:e

And n crown aud rest to the weary ouos givcu,

The following story, told in n dis
patch to the New York Herald from
Arkansas City, Kan, may be taken
with just little grain of salt: One of
the most interesting incidents of the
opening of Oklahoma occurred uron
the return to Arkansas City of the
train carrying newspaper correspond
ents. Seven of the Chicago and other
Western correspondents had pooled
their issues and engaged a cowboy to
meet them on horseback Just after the
train entered the yards at Arkansas
City, and to gallop furiously to the
telegraph Offices. James Cox, of tho
st. Louis G'obe-Democrdt, was shut
out of the combination. The plan
worked beautifully until the cowboy
had galloped half block on his way
10 the telegraph Office, Then Mr.. Cox
saw the scheme, and, leaping from the
moving train, he started on foo. after
the hOrsemen. 1t was n run of moro
than mile to the telegraph Office. BY
a squirt Mr.. Cox overlook the horse,
and then desperate race began. The
cowboy dashed his horse vigorously,
hut he could not shake off the fleet
footed correspondent. On the last
eighth of mile Mr.. Cox spurted like
n sprinter, and by terrific effort
reached the telegraph Office forty rods
ahead. When he entered the Office he
could hardly stand or see. The cow
boy has not since been seen,
