NOTHING IS now clearer than that
the novel is the popular form glitter
airy expression at the present time. It
is worse than idle to insist that it has
faults. If there has ever been a per-
feet form for expressing he feelings OF
men history has left no record Of it.
The novel is here, and apparently to
stay. It expresses the feelings and
suits the tastes OF the great mass OF
readers. and the most serious OF all the
mistakes made by its critics Is the
idea that il must be a medium for con.
veyinga moral or for giving instruc-
ton. II is. as the stage once was and
now is to some extent a means oil
amusement. It enables countless
thousands Of people to get away from
the dreary. wearying commonplace
things Of ordinary life and TO learn
something OF the lives Of others less
dreary or even more miserable than
their own lot.

Ridge. Kings Brigade was composed
Of the Fifteenth, Sixteenth, Eighteenth
and Nineteenth Illinois. This brigade

Chickamauga. The volunteer regi.
ments were taken from Stanley's Bri.

manned in Kings Brigade until Febru.

old regiment) assigned 70 his command,
and the writer believes that the other
two volunteer regiments left Kings
Brigade at the same time. The writer
claims that there were five guns cap
tured instead Of four, and that they
were captured by the entire brigade.
But the principal work was done by
the three volunteer regiments, and tle
fifth gun was taken by the Nineteenth
Illinois without aid from anybody.
The enemy had dumped the gun into a
creek, being closely pursued by the
Nineteenth, who fishcd it out the next
morning.

THOSE who are acquainted with our
different universities will hear witness
that the standard OF life and conduct
has greatly improved within the last
ten years in all these institutions.
There is less drunkenness. less i'm
morality. a broader and better inter-
est in the world, a higher and purer
tone in every institution throughout
the country than formerly prevailed,
and there is a closer relation Of these
institutions TO the thought AMI indus
try and social growths OF the country.
The moral and intellectual advance Of
the universities Is something to be
thankful for. The ideal OF educated
American manhood to-day is not that
Of a pale student. enfeebled by over-
work, and Withdrawn from mankind.

II is singular that it is always the

your defects Of appearance and man

hold upon your soul as long as you

Let's have a sons, my comrades all,
To drive dull care away
n Danish melancholy
Which on our spirits prey,
For there's nothing like o good song
To make old hearts feel young,
And the song is good that cheers US
No matter how its sung.
And though our pipes be out OF tune,
Our voices weak and low,
We stiI can sing with swelling hearts
The songs OF long ago.
And look into each others eyes
And see reflected there
But shadows OF what once we were,
Ere time had thinned our hair
And stamped upon our brows the tale
That tells Of harishlps borne.
Age stricken, still our hearts are young;
Wed better sing han mourn.
The songs we sung in those dark days,
When war swept through our land,
Are still the sweetest to our ears
We sung them h-and-in-hand,
We meet as brothers meet,
The ties that bind US stronger grew
AS years on restless wings hit by
And blanche our locks with snow.
We earned the right in wars lark night,
To stand in touch to-day
And clasp each others hands and sing
Our songs while yet we may,
For lite's long march is near its end;
We're weary Of the tramp:
Shake hands, old comrade, once again,
Wen al soon be in camp.

New YORK, April 18.-A special to
The Herald from Washington says there
is trouble ahead for the state depart
ment. 1t results from the payment of
the indemnity to the Italian government
for the New Orleans lynching out of the
contingent fund of the state department.
1t was not because ap indemnity had
been paid that fault was found, but be-
cause the president had assumed the
right to pay it without consulting con-
gress. The members of the committee
on foreign affairs in both houses are
very indignant in what they term an
arbitrary and fragrant misuse of money
which has been annually voted for some
years for the contingent fund. The sub
ject is likely to be sharply discussed
when the diplomatic appropriation bill is
taken up for debate.
