How Carefully He Noted the Move
N ents OF Each Regiment in Battle.
From the Youths Companion
The parents OF a young soldier who was a
private in Prussian cavalry regiment
during the Frsnco-Prussian war became
terribly anxious about him. Several battles
had been fought, and they had received no
news of their boy. After some hesitation
the father decided to see Gen. Won Moltks,
who was understood to receive visitors at a
certain hour in the early morning.
Strange to say, the father was admitted
to see the great field marshal.
What is your businessP' said Moltixe
use as few words as possible"
The visitor explained that he wished to
know the fate Of his son, private in GER
tain regiment. Moltke smiled, but not un-
kindly, and drew from bis pocket q square
Of aboard, covered with dots, lines and
crosses Of various colors
This line" he said. Indicates the line of
march OF your sons regiment. These dots
mark the distances of each forced march.
Tomorrow morning at Z o'clock the regi-
ment must be at this point here Take note
Of the situation"
He said no more, and the interview ended
Long before the hour named the father was
at the point indicated on the map. Just be-
fore o'clock the trumpets OF the advance
guard we're heard In the distance, and pre-.
cisely at the hour the father saw his son.

The price of print cloths-that is,

In 1880, they we're worth % cents a

a yard, they arc now worth 3 cents a
yard; but at the rate of wages paid

Those alleged Mexican revolution
lists are little better than a band of
marauders of the old Quantrell stamp.
There is nothing to excite revolution
in Mexico now, and Cara and his
followers, a lawless, disorderly lot of
Hlal-contents who make all excuse of
revolution, will be glad enough to get
from before the guns of the regular
troops ere they are many days older.
Mexico is prosperous and equitably
governed. Her affairs have not been
better in years, and her people are
indolently contented with their I'M
proved condition resulting from the
friendly, favorable relations with this
country. The leaders of the so-called
revolution are professional bandits
and their war is merely a greater than
ordinary system of brigandage. There
is no political Importance 10 the

If one should set out TO hunt for the

which the impulse to render honor TO

the artistic adornment of streets and
places was very far removed. If an
obscure sculptor, with only the ambi-
ton to get his name before tie public.
has a friend who can push his model
of some more or less noticeable man,
on the understanding that the artist
furnishes his great and talented
services for nothing, the chances are
high of such a disintcrestcd project
