This Prince is Thrifty.

The Count of Flanders, the only brother
of King Leopold of Belgium. and heir to
his throne, is the richest Prince in Europe.
He was the favorite son Of his father, who
left him the major part of his money, which
the Count has since vastly increased by iu-
Cicious investments and thrift.
Yet he has applied to the Belgian Govern
ment for an increase of his allowance from
$4,000 TO $50, 600 year.

NE COLD, CLUSTERING
/ezN>\N, morning in the month of
8Sp March, 1862, there came to
sLu2 the quiet little village of
VGS0 Jacksonville, Pa, two slim,
~ brown haired, blue eyed
boys so nearly alike in per-
sonal appearance as to attract universal at
tention. One of them carried on his shoulder
an old army musket that doubtless had seen
service In the Mexican war. They were is
years of age. Their weight was exactly
the same, each drawing the beam at SO
pounds There was but one fourth of an
inch difference in hight. In their country
home they had read the proclamation of the
great Lincoln calling for volunteers, and had
trudged nine miles through the storm and
mud to the village TO offer their services.
They came of fighting stock, their father
having belonged to the army of France in
the days of the First Napoleon, and who
traced his lineage to the romantic Murat,
commander of Napoleon's cavalry. Their
grandfather on their mothers side of the
house was twice prisoner among the Indians
and fought in the war of 1912 on the Ameri-
can side. Two of their uncles fought with
Gen. Taylor in Mexico, and were wounded in
the battle of Buena Vista.

boys, so Slight, SO young, and so mucn alike
that no one could tell one from the other,
were mus cred into the service as members
of Co. G., 10th Pa. In the following June
they joined their regiment on Johns Island,
s. c., then en- route for operations against
Charleston under the ill-starred Gen. Ben
ham. They had never seen a single officer
or enlis ed man Of the regiment. They
were strangers and far from home. In less
than "a hours after their arrival, without
moments drill, ignorant of every evolution,
they were under heavy fire, for the rebels
pushed out in the darkness and attacked the
advanced line, of which their regiment
formed part.
The 10Th was Zouave organization, drill
cd and ably commanded by Col. John Nj.
Powers. The Zouaves knelt in the open
field and skillluly handled their arms The
undrIlled twins stood up and fought like
veterans. The attack WAS repnlsed. From
that day every man in the regiment was
their friend. In this, their first baptism,
they were christened The two little fight
ies,n and By this name were known through
oct the entire brigade until the close Of the
war. This illy-concelyed expedition ended

be assailed in flank and rear by Pender's
Brigade, which took the place of Capt
Moore's company few minutes later,

Many Of our men were taken prisoners,
for in the darkness Of the early evening
they mistook Pender's Brigade for re-
inforcements coming TO their assistance,
and some, when they discovered their
mistake, quietly passed through the Con-

A DISAPPOINTED CRowD.-Mr. Carl
Brown, chief lieutenant OF the Com
monweal of Christ, which, headed by
Colonel Jacob S. Coxey, of Massillon,
Ohio, marched to Washington over a
year ago, disappointed large audience
yesterday by failing to make his ap-
pearance on the steps of the Capitol in
Washington, where he was to have
been remarked to Miss Mamie Coxey,
daughter of his whilom chief. Brown
claims that he was married to Miss
Coxey some time ago in Ohio. Brown,
instead of carrying out his intentions,
it is stated, went out to a picnic given
by the remnant of the Commonweal,
consisting of some twenty of the box
car knights who marched to Washing
ton with Coxey. Brown yesterday
evening stated to some of his personal
friends in Washington that he had been
married on the Capitol steps at seven
o'clock in the morning. No one there
places the slightest credence in this
story, however.

posed to the adoption of the exist

into operation, but having seen
with their own eyes, how smooth
w and fairly it works, and how
under it, every voter, no matter how
ignorant, CAP, if he shall choose to dc
so, deposit a legal ballot, and that that

UNDER THE Presidents new civil
service rules, no Virginians will be al
lowed to apply for positions as clerks,
copyists, watchmep or messengers in any
of the government departments, but may
they apply for examination for the postal

reason for this is that Virginia already
has more than her quota of such posi-
tons. But nearly all the quota referred
TO are republicans, and most of them,
though hailius from Virginia, don'tlive
in the State, and never did.

The FOURTH OF JULY, from the first,

been holiday 10 Alexandria, and there
are many now living who can recollt CT
when the late Mt. Vernon Guards,
whose organization dated back to
tho earliest years of the century,
headed by Plants or Garcia's
band, paraded the streets on that
day, and when the Declaration of Indie
pendence was read and an Grafton de.
livered in the then Lyceum. Since the
war between the States the celebration
of the day here has been more OF
private character suspension OF WORK
and indulgence in the pleasures anc
,amusements of picnic parties aud ex
curaions, by land and water, tonear by
places in the country. 1t is doubtful
however, if there ever was greater
exodus from the city on the Fourth
than on yesterday, and there certainly
never was more powder exploded.

tied by the late gold loan, and who wish
10 enhance the value of the bonds of

happy and the goose hangs high; but
that what they say is the veriest gable

THE BALL-BoDINE TRAGEDY.-The
trial of James Ball for the killing Of
William Bodine, of Nokesville, on June
ODD, was begun at Manassas on Wed.
nesday before Judge William e. Lips.
comb. Hon. e. E. Meredith, attorney
for the defense, was assisted by Hon
R. w. Moore, of Fairfax. Common
wealth's Attorney ]. B. T. Thornton,
Mr.. Campbell and Eppa Hunton, jr.,
Lof Warrenton, represented the prosecu,
ton.
The prisoner, accompanied by his
wife and two small children, was seat
ed near his counsel. He was neatly
attired in black suit and had an anx.
ious, care-worn look. When arranged
he pleaded not guilty.
The case was opened by prelimi-
nary argument by Mr.. Campbell for
the prosecution. He was followed by
Hon. L. E. Meredith for the defence.
The examination of witnesses was then
taken up, but no new facts were
Drought to light.
Little Willie Bodine, son of the de.
ceased, told the same story as at the
preliminary examination, and made no
conflicting statements. ABOUT forty
witnesses have been summoned.
Ball was put on the stand just before
the court adjourned. His testimony
was essentially the same as that OF
Bodine's son, except that he claims he
told his son to ride on his left, thus
putting him between himself and Bo-
dine to AVOID n contact with him, and
that he told Bodine to let go his bride.
Testimony in the case was concluded
yesterday and the case was given to the
Jury. Bsll was on the stand yesterday
morning. He related the circumstances
of the quarrel with Bodine, which was
the initial cause of the murder. He
shot Bodine, he said, because he feared
the latter was about to do him vic.
lence. Balls testimony was much COZ :
fused, and he made rather poor show
ing for himself.
This evening the jury brought in 2
verdict acquitting Ball.
