WAR "REMINISCENCES.
THE MAJORS STORY.

A Crack Troop of Cavalry Scared by .
Drove of Hogs.
We were at an accidental gathering
of few of the survivors" not long
since. The board around which we
were seated was not, as of yore, de-
tached shutter or door from an aban-
doned house, but was of shining ma
hogany, broad and substantial. richly
laden with the good things of this
world; for our host, gallant and dar-
ing sabreur in war, had in peace so ap-
piled his qualities of perseverance and
courage that success had crowned his
business ventures, and fortune had
welcomed him as one of her prime
favorites. He was charming listener
and knew how to encourage others to
talk, and his manner conveyed the inn
preston that he keenly enjoyed the
society of those present.
Notwithstanding the many reminis-
cences unearthed that evening, our
host, the major, was rather reticent
until one of the party asked: "Major,
do you recollect little Murphy?" which
brought the following:
murphy? Do I recollect Murphy?
How could I forget him? Why he did
me the honor to take care of my horses
when / was sub in the -th volunteer
cavalry, and for that reason alone de-
serves to be RENE m bered.
"A rare fellow was Murphy. AS you
might suspec. from his name, he was
born in that island which has furnished
so many of our politicians, priests and
soldiers. Now, the first of these he
could not have been, as he was not suf.

DIR. Kilmer's preparations, which fre-
quently prescribe for my patients and
invariably with the happiest results,
therefore it affords me great pleasure to

state. I recommend that the commits
sion be composed of civil engineers of
experience, and that suitable provision
be made by this general assembly to

Gov. Altgeld, in his inaugural ad-
dress, said:
while our state has developed in
every other respect, we have made no
progress in the matter of roads. We
are, in this regard, almost where we
were half century ago, so that, for a
number of months In the year, our
roads are almost impossible, and the
loss and inconvenience of this falls most
heavily on our agricultural commu-
mites. Not only is the farmer subjected
to heavy loss in the wear and tear of
his team, but he is frequently prevent
ed from availing himself of favorable
markets by the impassability of the
roads. The state should again take up
the subject of internal improvements
and adopt q policy that will tend to the
building of good roads in every county
in the state-roads that can be travelled
every day in the year. AS the railroads
do all the carrying for long distances
wagon roads are, to great extent, a
local matter in each city. This being
SO, the roads will not need to be so
wide, and can, therefore, be more
cheaply built than would otherwise be
possible. 1t is also probable that some
convicts in our peniteutiaries could be
used to prepare material for the build
ing of the roads"

The fame of the climate of California
draws to that charming state new friends
every year, particularly from sections
where long, severe winters, followed by
trying spring Seasons, work such disastrous
results among the weak and debilitated.
The great improvements in passenger
train service, higher degrees of comfort in
the cars, and shorter time required on the
trip. combined with the cheapness of the eX-
cursion tickets now being sold to California
and back by the Santa Fe Route, make the
journey agreeable and, one can almost say,
economical The many delightful resorts
now established in California afford every
comfort and luxury desired by the fastidi-
Gus, and present unique attractions.
The Hotel del Coronado at San Diego, the
Raymond ut Pasadena, the Redondo at Re-
dondo Beach, and the hotels at Santa Bar
bara, Monterey, Riverside, Los Angeles
and many other points, have grown as
famous as any on the Atlantic Coast and
fact that should not be forgotten is that
they are resorts all the year around, al
though the greatest number of people from
the East are in California between the
months OF November and May.

After Their Husbands' Death They Arc

Among the many sad things connect
ed with the lives of women in India,
nothing Is moro pitiable than the state
OF the poor little widows, says tho
Youths Companion. A child-wife, only
SIX or seven years old, is regarded by
her husbands family as the cause, more
or less direct, of his death. She is
treated at best with dislike, and often
with great harshness and severity.
Therefore the death of a young wife
before her husband is the cause of great
rejoicing among her friends that she
has thus escaped widowhood
They are convinced that the gods
nave favored her, and that she has been
advanced a degree in the great series of
births and deaths through which every
Hindu passes on his way to final perfec-
ton. The prayer of every little girl
before marriage and of every little
girl and woman after marriage is that
she may never become widow.
