In the camp of the regiment the men
were sitting about the fires singing
and telling stories, while the officers
were gathered together smoking and
occasionally wondering where that de-
tail of y troop could be. Still there
was no real anxiety. as no hostiles
were supposed to be in the neighbor-
hood. The prairie stretched away
lonely and white in the moonlight, and
the voices of the regimental singers
sounded sweet and plaintive on the
night air.
On sudden there was a shout from
the scntinels on the western side of the
camp, the singing stopped. and two or
three Of the officers ran toward the
western outposts, while souse confusion
arose n the camp. Soon there were
cries for the surgeon, and that officer,
who had been interrupted by the noise
at the height of one of his best stories,
grum blingiy arose and walked over TO
gathered, bending forward to look At
something in the center of the crowd.
As the surgeon approached he was sur
prIsed TO see an unmistakable Indian
pony standing perfectly blown near
the knot OF men. its legs wide apart
and head down. while the steam rose
from its wet skin Here's the doc
tor" said some one, and the surgeon
made his way into the center of the
group.

Thomas A. Edison has been express
ing himself vigorously to a Chicago re-
porter against the patent system of the
United States, which, he says, deprivOs
the real inventor of any chance to bene-
fit by his inventions. The patent law,
he says, is all right and the intention of
the government to aid inventors sincere,
but the difficulty lies in the United
States Circuit Courts and their method
of procedure. He advocates change so
that inventors who charge infringement
should have q preliminary injunction
against the alleged pirates, who should
be compelled to prove that the patent is
not valid.

Washington has three trees, each con-
nected with some important event in the
laying out of the town of Washington in
1888. The commissioners who made the
survey began their work under the great
white oak in the front yard of Judge
Andrews old home at Haywood.
Through the following century this was
one of the finest trees in Wilkes county.
Another historical tree is the great pop
lar on the Alexander homestead, In 1890
the first ordination of a Presbyterian
minister west of the Savannah river took
place under that tree. This was Rev.
John Springer. a man of noted character
and talents, and who would have been
president of Franklin college had he
lived.
Finally, coming down later in time,
we reach the memorable debate between
Robert Toombs and Benjamin Hill in
1856? This was one of the greatest in
tellectual contests in the history of
Georgia, and will never be forgotten by
those who heard it. 1t took place under
an oak in the grove of Haywood. 1t was
followed by a typical barbecue of the old

themselves. The ancients noticed that

from across the river in South Carolina
as a part of conspiracy to snow him
under. His experience has been Just
such as to stir this enthusiast, with
worn, wasted frame, sunken, restless
eyes and great activity and energy, if
not solidity, of brain. It will require
lots Of self control for the southerners to
keep cool when Watson gets started,
though the result of the contest is of
course not debatable since Watson closed
his own coffin lid in the house when he
last winter gave currency to the phrase,
"Where am at?'
P. FL. Thrasher, another Populist, will
insist that the majority of 1888 votes
given B. A. Enloe of Tennessee, the pen
sion Office investigator, is more apparent
than real.
J. F. Epes, southern Virginia Demo-
GRAFT, has nearly 5000 more returned
votes than Populist J. T. Goode, who
will contest before Democratic house.
The other southern contest comes from
North Carolina and is instituted by
Democrat, A. FL. A. Williams, who will
have to account for a shortage Of 614
votes less than Thomas Settle, a brilliant
Tar Heel Republican.
The noisiest contest will be that Of
John j. O'Neill, the ST. Louis Labor
Democrat, who is seeking to GUST Charles

In the California contest of w. B.
