Graduates.

We acknowledge the receipt of an in
vitatiOn from Emory Marvel Jr., to the
| commencement exercises of the Medi-
! cal department of the University of
Pennsylvania at the Academy of
Music, Philadelphia Thursday morning
June 18th. DR.. Marvel, who will
graduate in Medicine tomorrow, will
be remembered as the popular teacher
at Walkers near this town a few wears
ago, and since a student at Delaware
College.
DR.. Marvel deserves more than
usual credit for his perseverance in
search of an education. All that he
has accomplished in this line has been
through his own personal efforts. His
thirst for education has been pro-
nOunced from youth and by working
in the summer has been aided in a
great way to complete his course in
the choice of his understandable
1t is understood Dr. Marvel will settle
in business with his brother at Atlantic
City. His friends are both wishing
and expecting for him bright future.
We have a similar invitation for the
same day and place from DR.. Herman
Bessey, formerly of this county. He
will be remembered as the superntend-
ent of Public Schools for New Castle
County during the incumbency of
Governor Biggs. pr. Bessey not only
receives his degree from the University
but also diploma for a special course
of practical instruction in obstetrics
and gynecOlOgy in the hospital as well
as certificate from the Dean for pro-
ficieny in Medical jurisprudence. He
has been elected one of the resident
physicians of the Philadelphia Dispens-
ary and will go on duty soon after
graduating.
The Law Department of the same
institution had its graduating exercises
yesterday. Among those who took the
degree of Bachelor of Laws was John
w. Graham Jr., of Kenton. We do
not know at this writing where Mr..
Graham intends to hang out his
'shingle" as Attorney at Law, but
presume he will spend a good part Of
the summer at home recuperating for
the work ahead of him.

some Kid Gloved Heroes.

Oct. 8 was the date of the battle OF
Perryville QS62). One of the Confeder-
ate regiments noted for gallantry there
was Maney's First Tennessee, nick
named for obvious reasons by rough
and ready fellows from the hills THE
Kid Gioved Regiment" Ahead OF the
Tennesseeans, on the grand charge that
day, stood Parsons elght-gun bat
terry of Napoleons. An open field
stretched in front, and Parsons had a
clean sweep, using canister at ninety
PAGES. The sun was in the eyes OF the
Tennesseeans, but they forged ahead
and quickly shot down Gen. Jackson,
who was helping Parsons. The infan-
try supporting the guns began to shoot
at 100 PAGES, but the Tennesseeans SIM
ply closed the gaps in their ranks and
rushed into the battery.
Behind the broken line was second
one, where Stones and Bush's batteries
were lying low for close work-grape at
ten PAGES. In front was cornfield
packed with Union rifiemen, who pep
pered the Tennesseeans while gradually
retiring upon the guns. The colonel OF
the kid gloved fellows asked the honor
of taking care of Stones guns. 1t was
granted, and the men advanced, firing.
They shot down thirty-five horses and
many gunners. and placed their hands
on the pieces. but the supports rallied
and drove them out. Col. Patterson
and fifty men fell in that charge. AT
the foot of the slope the line rallied and
charged again up to the guns. Again
they were overwhelmed and driven out
At the second rally only ninety-five
muskets were counted out OF $50 that
entered the fight Four of Parsons Ma
poleons were given to the Tennesseeans
as trophies and the names of their dead
engraved upon them. The "kid glove
slur had become obsolete.
