school was admitted to the bar and began
practice in Evansville. He entered the
Union service in 1861 as major of the Twen-
ty-fifth Indiana infantry and was pro-
NOTED rapidly.
During his entire service he was con-
nected with the western armies of Grant
and Sherman He was commander of the
advance brigade of cavalry in Burnside's
expedition to east Tennessee, and he was
first to occupy Knoxville in 1863.
After the war he was editor of the Evans
vile Journal three years, postmaster of
Evansville four years, minister to Mexico
seven years, to Russia nearly two years
and to Spain two years.
Returning from Spain in 1885, he located
in Washington as a lawyer, serving as
counsel for various foreign governments,
but in 1890 was again employed by the adj
minstration as assistant in negotiating
reciprocity treaties. There are now two
Indiana men in Harrson's cabinet and two
men named Foster

At the siege of Rhodes the Turks con

'quickfirers," breechloaders, with small

punt guns. The Malay pirates put great
trust in the long brass swivel guns called
'lela," and in Borneo these lelas were used
as kind of currency, large sums being es

The Chinese cast excellent bronze guns

understand gunnery that in the so called

The Value of Lemonade.

Regarding lemonade Philadelphia au-
thority says that it is a healthy drink if
properly made, and is good for malaria,
biliousness and other attendant evils. On
no account should it be made in any tin
vessel, as the acid of the lemon forms
with the tin a poison that is very apt to
produce sickness. 1t is better to drink
lemonade without sugar if possible, and in
any event it should not be too sweet. A
physician who has great deal of expert
ence recommends glass of lemonade
without sugar before going to bed and an
other on rising in the morning, about half
an hour before breakfast. Lemons should
not be eaten clear but should always be
diluted with water

1t is getting so that the making of a will
generally turns out to be the beginning of
a lawsuit. The celebrated legal battles
over the estates of stephen Girard and
Samuel J. Tilden are still fresh in men,
DRY, and just now the people of Paris are
discussing "A case that involves less money
but more fun than those mentioned Nine

estimated that, after this charge has been
met, there will only be about POO francs a
year left for the fund, and the question
now agitating public functionaries is
whether that sum is worth the responsible

The Althorp Library.

English writers are beginning to recog-
nize the fact that America is a formidable
competitor in many fields Speaking of
the sale of the Althorp library The St.
James Gazette says that Selling it in
lump can mean only one thing selling it
to America" 1t then adds: 1--WE trust
that may not happen, since Lord Spencer's
collection contains many volumes which it
is a national pride to possess-such, for in
stance, as the famous Valdarfar 'Boccac-
clio, which Lord Blandford wrested from
the second Earl Spencer for f2.260, to be
ultimately bought for Althorp for the
bagatelie of ESQ. 1t will be an epoch
making sale, for this great library con-
tains some $4,000 volumes, mostly price
less. Scarce editions on vellum and large
paper, magnificent printing and dazzling
bindings by Pasdeloup and Roger Payne,
these are its glories Many of the books,
too, have famous histories. They have
felt the touch of the Pompadour or of
Diane de Potiers or the elegant grasp of
Francis l. There are eighty-two out of the
ninety-nine known productions of Caxton,
to say nothing of the famous Mentz salter,
a copy of which has fetched $4,000. To
sell the Althorp library, indeed, is almost
as though we were going to sell the rarest
rarities of the printed book department of
the British museum"

from the foregoing remarks, holds decided
views upon subject that is entitled to re-

Very peacefully they rest
Who In life by Peace unblest,
Caught the war cry fierce and shrill,
Felt the battles shock and thrill,
Heard the dreadful lannon's roar
Death behind and death before
Fighting on the sea and land,
Foot to foot and hand to handi
Very peacefully they rest
North and south and east and west
While the heaven descending dew
Falls alike on Gray and Blue,
While the cheering liLht of day
Shines on Blue and shines on Gray;
Weary march and battle sore
Past for hem forevermurel
Very peacefully they rest
And the babes whose cheeks they pressed
In last goodby have stood
Ger their graves in proud manhood,
And in holy Wedlock true
Plighted hearts of Gray and Blue
In the light of hearthstone fires
