THE ARMENIAN ArFA1R.-A CORES

THE ARMENIAN AFFAIR.-A CORES
pendent of press association sent tc
Armenia to investigate the stories told
of Turkish cruelty, in his first letter
says there are two sides to the story,
and that there is likely some truth il
the charges made by the Turks that
Armenians have inflicted outrages upon
Turkish men and women. The Sas.
SCUM massacre, he declares, was ordered
by the Sultan, who was SO well pleased
with the work of his soldiers that he
rewarded the officers with decorations.
The Turkish commission of inquiry is
pronounced farce, and the hope of the
European residents of Constantinople is
that the commission will bring such an
unsatisfactory report that the Christian
nations will appoint commission and
make an independent investigation.
A dispatch from Paris states that it is said
there that the Armenian question is practical

ASAD SUICIDE.-Samuel A. Miller,
who went to Asheville,- n. c., from
Louisville, KY, three months ago with
his family, on Saturday threw himself
under two coaches of a passenger train,
and was crushed to death. MIR. Miller
was suffering from melancholia, caused,
it is understood, by business cares, and
had attempted to take his life before.
He seemed for a time to improve at
Asheville, whence he was taken in the
hope that change of climate would
improve his mental condition. A dis
tressing incident of the suicide was that
his son stood by and tried to restrain
his father as he plunged forward under
the coaches, and that daughter was
on the train that ran over him. All Of
his family are at Asheville except one
son. The body will be taken to Louis
villa

AMONG the numerous propositions
for retrenchment of government ex-

though those salaries were fixed when
greenbacks were cheap and gold was

A REMARKABLE paradox is afforded
by the fact that though the trade and
commerce OF Norfolk is increasing
greatly and rapidly, the membership
of its chamber of commerce has dimin-
ished to an extent that threatens, so it
is said in that city, ''to impair its useful
ness" Most every where else the cpm-
merce and commercial bodies of cities
increase at the same pace.

THE DEMOCRATS LOSE CONTROL
With the swearing in of Lee Mantle,
republican, in the Senate on Saturday,

cratic majority in the Senate disap-
peared. The advent of Mr.. Mantle
caused the total number of Senators to
be raised from So to Sc, and of this
number majority is A. The demo.
Gratis have 49 seats, or just one-half of
u total number and one short of an ac-
tual majority. The republicans now
have IS votes and the populist strength
remains at 5, including Senators Jones
and Stewart, of Nevada, who were not
elected to the Senate as popnlists, but
who have since joined that party. The
republicans will gain two more seats
when Clarke, of Wyoming, and Will
son, of Washington, arrive and take

THE FACT that several of the magi :

some, that that may be at least one of
the reasons why the laws of the State

may be upon having the laws executed,
it is impossible for him to do so when
the law officers are inefficient.

uone aC FerryvlIle. When sent into the
 cedar thicket, it was with orders to hold
 the ground until the last cannon had
 been taken off in safety. Bravely hold ing on, the Kentuckians had to fight
 enemies in front, right flank and rear.
 The "boy colonel" was shot from his
 horse and instantly killed. Around him fell 80 of his brave men.
 On another part of this same field of Stone River Kentuckians fought against
 brothers and friends. There it was that the First Kentucky brigade of Confed crates received its unique title, "The Orphans. This command had been or ganized soon after Shiloh by placing the Sixth and Fourth regiments of
 Trabue's old brigade with the Second
 and Ninth and Cobb's battery together
 under the leadership of General Hanson,
 an old officer of the Mexican wal The
 brigade served under Breckinridge, the great Kentuckian of the southern army. | It requires book to tell all the good
 things known of the Orphans" body
 of men whose history is unparalleled in
 American annals They had to run away
 across the border to organize, for Ken tucky was under Union surveillance. Breckinridge, Buckner and George B. Crittenden, brother of the Union gen. eral, Thomas L., met them there and put them into fighting trim.
 The annals of Company D, Fourth Kentucky, have been written out by a survivor. That little band mustered some striking characters, among them the noted Sue Mundy of guerrilla fame. Mundy and companion, who was like brother, were among the earliest re- oruits, and one day in vagrant skir- mish these two fell into the hands of some of the brutes who disgraced the blue they wore, and Mundy's compan- ion was butchered. Swearing ven- geance, Mundy left his command and entered upon the life of a partisan to take revenge for the death of his friend. Mundy's real name, which he bore in Company D, was Jerome Clark. An other character of the company was 'The Silent Man" He was 8 crack shot, lad in years, being about IS, but standing feet 8. The annalist says that at home he was mothers boy," driving up the COWS, milking and tend ing the baby, "but-I tell you in fight he was every inch man and very tall one at that.'' He would never shoot unless he could draw bead upon an enemy and then would take deliberate aim and fire and load as coolly as though shooting at squirrels
 To return to the Orphans at Stone River. Hanson led them in the terrible assault of Jan. 3. The brigade had the advance, and in the rush for the key to the Union position came toclose quar-
