war OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES lapse Of

war Reminiscence.-A lapse oi
90 years James Hill returned here on Sunday
last to pay his respects to Miss Margaret
Bell in return for the kind treatment he re-
ceived at her hands and under her roof while
suffering from bullet wound At the time
| he was a soldier in the Federal army pursu-
ing Gen. Early's army in its movement back
across the river from a raid in Maryland in
1864. He was amongst the advance guard of
the Federal troops and attacked Early's rear
at the western end of this town. He and
his comrades were repulsed and attempted
to make their escape through Miss Bells
woods dodging behinds the trees and firing
on the enemy ct the same time. Presently,
he says, in relating this story the other day,
he felt stingng sensation in the breast just
below the heart, without knowing that he
was shot. He looked around, not COM
rade was to be seen, and he fled in earnest,
with Confederate balls flying after him
thick and FAST which he thought to escape
by getting behind Miss Bells brick house,
which was then in close proximity to him.
Making to the house gate was to be passed
through, and he says it seemed to him if
one ball from the pursuing enemy struck
that gate while he was attempting to open
it, fifty must have struck there abouts, He
finally opened the gate, but was exhausted,
and fell upon his face in front of the house
by his faint condition engendered by the
wound. He was taken inside and received
the friendly attention of Miss Bell for sew
eral days and was then carried to the hos
pital at Washington. His wound was i'm
mediately below the heart and that he is q
living man to day doing service in the
Census Bureau at Washington is a miracle.
Coincident with Hills wound about the
heart in the same skirmish, a Confederate
soldier was shot directly through the heart
and killed little further down town.
Hill Joined the army from Michigan, re-
turned to it after his wound healed, was
mustered out at the close of war, and has
since prior TO a month ago been conducting a
rancho in Wyoming successfully. Now he
is capably performing duty in the Census
Bureau.

A Popular Instrument.-Person at
tending the annual fairs of Western Mary
land during the last five or six years, have
manifested much interest and admiration in
the splendid display made by the Miller Or
gan Company, Of Lebanon, Pa. "What
beautiful organs; what splendid toned in
struments," were expressions heard contin-
ually as the crowds passed by. Seven OF
these organs were sold by the agent, G. w.
Walker, of Browningsville, in less than two
weeks. At the late fair at Rockville the Mil
Ter Organ Company was awarded two di'
plomas-one for best instrument; also fol
best display of instruments.

For many years, through nearly every
newspaper in the land, the proprietors OF Dr.
Sage's Catarrh Remedy, who are thoroughly
responsible, financially, as any one can easily
ascertain by proper enquiry, have offered,
in good faith. a standing reward of $500 for

NO Joint Debate.-Ho Louis II. Nc
Comas invited Gen VIM. NJ. McKaig, his
Democratic competitor for Congress from
this District, to a joint debate during the
campaign. At first General McKaig was
disposed to accept the challenge, but upon
sideration Of the fact that McComas did not
accept Mr.. Nelson's challenge several years
ago, and that when he accepted the chal-
lenge of Col. Douglas two years ago he ac-
cepted it at such late hour that little was
gained by the joint discussion, he has de-

A New and Important Mathemati

A New and important Mathemati-
cal DemOnstrati0n.-Fo thirty centu-
ries or more the relation of curved figures
to those with straight sides has been vexed
question to mathematcans. A kind of tacit
admission has obtained that polygon
might have its sides multiplied to such an
extent that it would exactly equal circle.
it is a polygon with an infinite number of
sides. The truth of this proposition has
never been demonstrated, and though many
mathematicians in all ages have denied or
doubted il, yet, they have never success
fully attempted to demonstrate its fallacy.
This great work has at last been accom-
plished by one of our own townsmen, Capt.
James Anderson, our County Clerk.
In the last issue Of the Mathematical Maga-
zine Capt Anderson's work is published in
full. His theorem is, "To what extent So
ever the number OF sides Of the inscribed
polygon may be increased, its area cannot
be made to differ from that of the curve by
less than any assignable magnitude of the
same species" This theorem is almost in
direct contradiction to one OF Eucllds, but
any one who will follow closely Capt An
derson's demonstration will find that his
proof is clear.
| This proof, however, could never have
been educed from the Geometry of Euclids
day--the advances in Analytical Geome-
try, and more still, the employment Of the
Higher Calculus make it now possible.
We would be glad to lay the Captains
work before our readers, but the facilities OF
a newspaper establishment are not such as
publish mathematical work. Any OF our
readers who feel sufficiently interested can
get the work by addressing Prof. Artemas
Martin, Editor of Mathematical Magazine

MORE NEEDED REFORMS.

The navy at present, feeble as it is,
costs $40, 900, 600 year. Much of this
goes in salaries to ornamental officers.
comparatively little to the common men
who do the work and have no hope of
promotion, no matter how brave or eff
Gent they are. There are SO many An
napolis graduates now that there are not
officers places enough for them, but
their pay goes on. Some day our navy
aristocracy will go to pieces. The only
true way to create officers would be to
take from the ranks of the common en-
listed sailors such as showed themselves
particularly capable and put them in the
naval academy and give them the edu-
cation for officers. Two results would
follow: capable American young men
would enlist on our war ships and the
navy would be differed by men, not
by snobs and dudes. The same rule of
promotion ought TO prevail in the army
as well.
The change would be more beneficial
in the army, if possible, than in the
navy: it would afford an incentive to the
enlisted men to improve their soldierly
qualities and would unquestionably
solve the problem of how to stop deser-
tons that Is now so seriously affecting
the efficiency and morale of the army.

THE WAY NOT YET OPEN.

The market reports show decline in
the price of corn in Chicago, and ''the
reduction of freight rates from Kansas"
is given as a reason for the decline. But
the decline in price is very slight, SO far
much less than the reduction-and
may not reach that point, though the
EAGLE will confess agreeable surprise if
it does not. If the slight advantage af-
forded by the reduction in rates is thus
lost to the producers, their only re-
source. as far as outside interference can
affect anything, is through legislation
by congress against the real cause of all,
or most, of the trouble, that is, The gam
bling ia futures, including the whole of
the genus combine. And If there is any
doubt about the power of congress to
deal with the subject on account of con-
stitutional inhibition, steps should be
taken promptly TO confer. that power
through an amendment TO the constitu-
ton.
This plan will be too slow at best TO af-
ford any relief from the present stress
that is upon the agricultural commun
ity, and the farmers who can not hold
their surplus crops will be compelled to
sell at whatever sacrifice, unless some
means Of immediate relief can be de-
vised. The storage idea seems to us TO
afford the most plausible and speedy re-
lief of anything that has yet been sug-
gested. But this must be put i'll shape
and practical operation by the farmers
themselves, and this affords the alliance
opportunity to demonstrate its ability to
benefit its members in q practical way.
and at the same time exhibit the capa-
city TO deal inteliigently with economic
questions pertaining TO the aduiDiStra-
tive functions of government. We be-
lieve they can do ii.
