WAR "REMINISCENCES.
THE PRIDE OF BATTERY q.

South mountain lowered upon our right, far OF
the river lay,
And over on the wooded height VIC held their
lines at bay
AT last the muttering guns were still; the day
died slow and wan;
at last the gunners' pipes did fill the sergeants
yarns began
When, as the wind moment blew aside the
fragrant flood
Our brierwoods raised within our view O little
maiden stood.
A tiny tot of six or seven. from freside fresh
she seemed
(of such little one in Heaven one soldier often
dreamed)
And as we started, her little hand went to her
curly head,
In grave salute "hnd who are your" at length
the sergeant said.

She lisped OUT who is me?
Why, don't you know I'm little Jane, the

A protest is in circulation and is re-
celving many signatures Of our most
influential citizens against the consum-
nation Of the pending treaty with
Russia, which is reported to contain
stipulations that the people certainly
will never approve. This is an extra
dition treaty, and the offensive section
is one providing that an attempt upon
the head Of either government com
prislng an act Of assassination. killing
or poisoning shall not be considered
political offense and shall be extradita-
bic. This appears to be unobjectiona-
Bile, and would be So under ordinary
conditions. But il is alleged that the
Russian criminal code provides that
any person committing such acts as
joining a society having for its object
plot against the life, person Or dignity
Of the Czar, Or expressing By word or
writing opinions favorable to such OBJ
Jet, shall be regarded as guilty Of the
accomplished crimer ofattempting the
life Of the Car and be subject 10 capt
tai punishment also any persen who
gives shelter to a father or mother,
husband or wife, brother or sister. son.
or daughter, members Of such society,
shall be subject TO the same punish
ment. II any treaty il III contempla-
tion which would require the extradi-
tion Of offenders against this horrible
code il may as well be abandoned at
once. The people will not sanction it.
and they will make quick end Of the
political career Of any public men who
become responsible for ii.

Pension Commissioner Raum has at
last done an act that the whole conn4
try win approve Of. He has sent in
his resignation. The resignation was
Immediately accepted. Delay would
have been criminal. Secretary Hoke
Smith could not have begun business
in the Interior Department more APP
propriately than BY giving Commits
siuner Raum his walking papers His
retention in the Pension Office, against
the judgment Of Secretary Noble,
against popular protest and in spite
Of proofs Of Official misconduct, was
one Of the worst biemishes in the re-
cord Of the Harrison administration
The dismissal Of Raum il is pre-
posterous to suppose that he resigned
without an intimation that he must go
has not been followed by the seIec-
ton Of his successor. His place is
temporarily filed by a subordinate.
His successor should be, if possible, a
soldier who has seen service, who re-
spects his epaulettes and the honor q
the army. and who could be depended
npon to stand up for deserving veter-
ans and at the same time protect the
Treasury from horse-leeches.

part Of Roanoke is built upon his an
cestral acres, derived by special war
ranty from George III. The bank Of
ficials and employees presented him with
a gold watch and chain, and set or

tors, before which he was summoned In
post haste.
