Confederate Veterans. Reunion.

Chattanooga, Tenn. has been overlooked
during the past week by ex-rebel soldiers, who
have been holding a Reunion in that city. On
the 4th of July the Reunion took the form of a
monster parade over 1000 old soldiers who
wore the gray being in the line, together with
three regiments of Tennessee militia Gen.
John Il. Gordon, Governor of Georgia, was the
Chief of the procession. It is
creditable TO the managers of the Reunion to
say that in ali the line not single rebel flag
was displayed, but every command carried the
National colors. The brass bands passed up
tho streets playing National airs, Dixie"
Bonnie Blue Flag" and war tunes of both
sides, and cheers greeted every air. feature
of the parade was several hundred young men,
sons of Confederate veterans who passed along
singing National airs. Along the line of parade
in the business portion of the city there was
not single house that was not pr0tusely deco
rated. Gov. Taylor, of Tennessee, and staff
headed tho Tennessee militia.
After the parade and review Gen. Gordon
addressed several thousand people in front of
the Union Depot The widest enthusiasm
prevailed. In the afternoon 5000 persons
crowded into the great tent and listened to 4th
of July orations war "reminiscences and patri-
otto music. Speeches were made by Gen.
George b. Gordon, of louisiana; Gen. w S.
Cabell, of Texas; Gen. T.. Kirby Smith, of
Tennessee, and Gen. "Tige" Anderson, of
Georgia.

orally southerly, but still have somewhat of
monsoon character. All salong the northern
coast of America, as along that of Siberia, the
monsoon tendency is to.draw the air from the
colder land to the warmer ocean in Winter,
and the reverse in Summer. These effects
combined with the general easterly motion of
the atmosphere in these ATTITUDES, gives rises to
prevailing southwestly winds in Winter and
northwesterly ones in Summer. The Winter
monsoon influence is small, much more SO than
in Siberia, for the ocean contains SO many large

The most remarkable canal in the
world is the one between Worsley
and St. Helen's, in the north OF
England. 1t Is sixteen miles long and
under ground from end to end. In
Lancashire the coal mines are very ex-
tensive, half of the country being un-
dermined aud many years ago the
duke of Bridgewater's managers
thought they could save money by
transporting the coal under ground IN,
stead of on the surface. So the canal
was constructed and the mines con-
nected and drained at the same time
Ordinary canal boats are used, but the
power is furnished by men. On the
roof of the tunnel, arch are cross-pieces,
and the men who do the work of pro.
pulsion lie Oh their backs on the coal
and push with their feet against the
cross bars on the roof.
