Proceedings of the Congress.


Omaha, Nov. 26-The annual cleo

Commercial congress was the first or

". Richardson of Omaha introduced a
seclara ton diametrically opposed to the
free silver resolution previously Off
.red by Governor Price. 1t was:
1.-THE Transmississippi Commercial
congress at it's eighth annual session
respectfully represents 10 the congress
Of the United States that, recognizing
the wisdom OF the great commercial
nations of the world In declaring that
the gold supply is all sufficient for
requfsftely stable for a measure and
standard Of values, we demand the
maintenance of the present gold STAN
dard as the basis Of our circulation
until such time as the leading CONNER
cial nations Of the world shall, in the
course of natural events, or by inteT-na-
tional agreement or otherwise, unite on
q ratio. We desire the largest use of
silver in coinage consistent with the
recognized standard Of value. We de-
nv the statements and declarations of
the free silver advocates that the law
Of 1873. dropping silver from coinage
was slrrreptitious legislation; that such
legisla ton influences the price of wheat
or any other commodity; that II Is re-
sponsible for the present financial de-
preston or the thousand fills so pro-
fife in the imagination Of the average
free silver enthusiast.

limited coinage of silver by this gov

tional agreement, because we believe
that the result of such action would
mean silver recommendation. thus drop

A southern magazine, by way of illus
trating the transformers of fame, says
that less than twenty years after the
close of the civil war the following
conversation took place at Chicago
railway station, where a soldierly pas
senger had just stepped from train.
who is that fine-lookine MANI" said
a prominent citizen of the city to an
ex-confederate.
That is Gen. BuclSner, was the re-
ply.
''Who is Gen. Buckner?"
Gen. Buckner, of the confederate
army, you know, who surrendered Fort
Donelson."
The prominent citizen seemed to be
collecting his thoughts.
oh he said, The surrendered Fort
Donelson, die he? What did he do that
for?'-Youth's Companion.

ment felt absolute confidence that the
rest would execute its part of anv
movement ordered. II has been mat
ter of discussion by doubling regular
officers whether such movement was
feasible under the fire of veteran
troops. But there are many living
witnesses of the affair who will testify
that it was done and that there is no
exaggeration in the above description
The regiments composing the brig
ade were the Second Minnesota, the
Eighty-seventh Indiana, the Ninth
and the Thirty-ffth Ohio Its battery,
which fought throughout the day on
Snodgrass hill. was second of the
Fourth regular artillery. This brig
ade enjoyed the distinction of having
lost no position assigned to it in the
two days battle, of succe ssfully exc
cutting every order it received. of main
tanning its lines unbrollen throughout
the bait and having the greatest per-
eentage o. killed and wounded of any
brigade on the union side. The same
is true of the movements and the losses
of its battery.-H. V. Boynton, in Chi
caqo Inter Ocean.

The young woman meantime had
hunted up an old envelope on which
had sometime been addressed: ''gege

it for awhile, and finally decided it was
intended for Judge Ralph Mum.

CAMP FIRE STORIES.
NO PRlvATEs7


The General tells, with swelling pride,
How the fires OF Jattle cleaned
OF the slaughter Of men ''On the other side"
As the shell and shrapnel screamed;
How I'VE charged the foe like the mighty wave
OF wild and stormy sea-
But, in the rush Of the true and brave
The Private-where was her
The Colonel" boasts how his horse fell
On Georgia's blood-stained hills.
How he stemmed the wave of that battle hell.
Avenging his country's ills;
How the CHASTITY heaps of the gallant slain
Bestrewed the slippery ground
But we study the tragic tale in vain,
There were no Privates round
On, the Majors sword. it was red with gore.
And great was the foes alarm.
AS they charged and halted ana fed before
The swing OF his mighty arm:
But Freedom FURNISHED her epaulettes.
As she swatted the hosts Of sin
And the lonely pensioner still forgets
That the Privates were not in
How brave they flew at their country's call,
To the outpostS, far ia front.
"Generals- Colonies, and Majors all
To strive in the battles brunt:
And the Captains stand ten thousand
strong.
To tell how the thing was done
But where was the Private in that throngs
Alas, there was not one,

hot and destructive enfilading fire
upon it. Van Derveer, who was riding
in advance, took in the situation at
a glance. Sending staff officers to
each regiment with orders he rushed
his lines forward into the open field,
wheeled them to the left on run. and
under a rapidly increasing fire till
they fairly faced the approaching line.
The distance to Breckinridge's front
had meantime been reduced by its adj
vance to a hundred yards. Van Der
veer's men had not fired gun. Under
orders, his lines dropped on their
faces and the front of two regiments
poured a volley into the faces of the
enemy, effectLally checking his ad-
vance. Van Derveer's second line
sprang up, under succeeding orders,
passed over the front line on a charge,
followed instantly by the front line,
both dashing at a run toward the
enemy's front. 1t fred once, then
broke, and was rapidly pursued by the
charging brigade and driven back
around the union left.
Van Derveer's loss was about twenty
per cent. in thirty minutes. Every
horse in the brigade but two was
killed or wounded. The lines of the
brigade did not break at any point Of
the movement, and an hour later it
charged to the crest of Snodgrass hill
70 the left of Gordon Changers succor-
ing command, and fought there with
its lines unbroken to the close of the
fight. IL was the first brigade com

Another step and out came the kit

which was like a fifth hand, still
clasped firmly about her leg.
Upon leaving his house Mingo as
sumed perfectly upright position,
holding one hand over his head, and,
then occasionally dropping to all four,
he crossed the little grass plot ans
easily swung himself into a tree.
His long tail sire tched out to it's full
length, and by it he actually liftNd the
kitten until, when four or more feet
from the ground she scrambled at the
limb and aided herself up.
Mingo finally settled himself on
bough with the puppy, which he held
closely in his arms.
Mingo, the Spider monkey, belonged
to a tribe known as Coaita, and came
from the valley Of the Amazon
Mingo's fifth hand or tail was so deft
and cunning in all its movements that
one wondered whether somewhere
tilefe was not an eye or two concealed
in the coarse hairs to enable it to find
It's way about.
When Mingo walked a limb the fifth
hand was invariably caught on
higher limb so that, when he lost his
hold, as he sometimes did, with his
hands and feet, he swung in safety by
the tail.
The tail was frequently employed to
inspect crevices in its owners house,
and it could pick up very small objects
with the greatest ease.
When approached, Mingo would
often extend his tail and grasp ones
finger with it in most confiding man

To this day many of the older ne

by this little war anecdote: The two

in remote place in the south during

one evening to make call at house
not far from the camps. They received
not over-warm welcome from the
residents, an old woman and her
