 san Francisco Argonaut. In the winter of 1S60-61 the majority of the students of the Virginia Military institute were secessionists, while the people of the town were almost unani-
 mously for the union. One day two of the students came back to the institute much worsted in a fight with the villagers and the whole school resolved on ven geance. Seizing their guns large number Der of the boys started toward the town. On their way they had to pass Professor Jackson's house, and he came out just in time to intercept them. Jackson stepped on a horse block in front Of his house, and just as the foremost of the students came abreast of him he called out in his most commanding tone: '1dlt! lrOnt face."
 Almost instinctively they obeyed. and after waiting for the stragglers to come
 up he said in his mildest tone: Well. young gentlemen, where are you going 7? One of the men explained in very eX-
 cited way that two of the boys had
 been matreated by the villagers and they were determined on revenge.
 Well" said the professor, that may all be very we'll but whom have you for a leader? You can't go on an expedition without leader"
 They had not thought of that, they said.
 well, suppose I lead you" said Pro lessor Jackson.
 Nothing would suit them better. "An right" said the professor, but before we start we must get little bet ter rganiZation."
 To that end he marched and counter
 marched them, wheeled them up and
 down tine road. and, in short, carried them through all the eYolutions neces- saiV for his purpose. which was to cool

PROBABLY A CANARD.

A startling report sprung up in c.rcl"s of official gossip is to the effect that Am bassador James B. Eustis will shortly leave the diplomatic service, and come home for the avowed purpose of enter ing the contest for the Senatorshp from Louisiana. The election will be held next May. and although MT. Blanchard is extremely desirous of succeeding him self in the place he now holds, knowing onrs assert that he will meet with un- yielding opposition from the people or Louisiana, who are fully aware when they have enough, and have recently come to that conclusion regarding MT. Blanchard.
 The report further says that Consult General Morss has his eye on AmEassa- dor IGuStis' present position and will spare no pains to make himself available if a man is wanted to fill ii. All this may he merely rumor, but is certainly rumorr, which. if based on the slightest show of truth has deal of interest in it.
 The New Orleans papers disaVow the existence of knowledge concerning such nlan and it may be only another one on Ambassador Eustis, who seems to have been selected by the Boulevard press as o butt for the ranllest of gossip and the stupidest of jokes. l would be interest ing to know just what Senator Blanch- ard thinks of it,

For upward of forty years-from 1857 to 1S92-the Associated Press was com posed of those journals which received their news directly, or through auXll- iary associations, from the pioneer organ ization, the New York Associated Press.
 In 1882 the United Press was formed, it's papers being the Boston Globe, Chi cago Herald Pittsburg Leader, Brook lyn Times and some 100 others. In 1892 the New York Associated Press was con- solidated with the United Press, and the New York Herald, Tribune, Sun, Times, Journal of Commerce, Mail and Express, etc, then became the prominent factors in the United Press.
 This combination has with it the South ern Associated Press; the Associated Press of the state of New York; the New England Associated Press; the pioneer press organization of Canada conducted by the Great Northwestern Telegraph company, and various other organiza- tions most of which had been allied with the New York Associated Press for more than thirty years. This combna- Herald is part of 1t.
 The so-called Associated Press" is a Chicago enterprise, with scattered fol- lowing in various parts of the country. It is a spurious organiZa ton which came into existence in 1892. Its record of blum ders and inventions during it's career was becomingly perpetuated by its an- nouncement that the Nalkyrie had de- feated the Defender in the first of the International yacht races.

THE F1FTY-FoURTH CONGRESS.

Only two months remain until the as- sembling of the Fifty-fourth Congress. In the House of Representatives the Re publicans will have a majority, and in the Senate they lack just three votes of be- ing the dominant power. The Populists, who hold six votes in the Senate, will probably determine the scale, and at this present writing it is difficult to predict the jump of the cat. whether to the Dem ocratic OF Republican side.
 Among the first questions to come up will probably the question of Cuba shall or shall not the United States recognize the island as belligerent power. It will be a nice point for decision, as upon 1t hinges many things now resting in quiet. If so recognized, then any citizen may fit out and render assistance of whatever description he pleases, and no man can gainsay him.
 There are other questions confronting the members of the Fifty-fourth Con- gress, and it is to be hoped that they will drop party differences and act for the good of the United States, the people of whom have sent them to Washington for that purpose rather than for any in dividual advantage.

A RIVERS BURDEN.
Immense Areas of Land Transported by the
 Mississippi.

Longman's Magazine.
 The Mississippi has in the course of ages transported from the mountains and cent material to make 400, 900 square miles of new land by filling up an estu- ary which extended from its original out fall to the Gulf of Mexico for length of, 800 miles, The river is still pouring solid matter into the gulf, where 1t is spread out in a fan-like shape over a coast line of 150 miles, and is filling up at the rate of 362, 900 900 tons year. or six times as much soil as was removed in the con Struction of the Manchester Ship canal, and sufficient to make a square mile of new land. allowing for its having to fill up the gulf to depth of eighty yards.
 Some idea of the vaStneSs of this Oper- alton may be conceived when the fact isl considered that some of this soil has to be transported more than 5000 miles, and that If the whole of it had to be carried i'll boats at the lowest rate at which heavy materials is carried on the inland waters of America, or say for one- tenth of penny per ton per mile over an average of half the total distance, the cost would be no less sum than t23S GOO 900 a year. Through the vast delta thus formed the river winds it's way, twisting and turning by innumer- able bends, until 1t extends its length to nearly 1900 miles, or more than double the point to point length of the delta, con tinualy eroding the banks in one place and building up land in another occa- sionally breaking it's way across mar row neck which lies between the two aXtremties and filling up the old chan mel

Pig Risks on Missing Ships.

Reinsu1ng risks on vessels long over due. and supposed to be lost, is a game of chance in which specula tive marine underwriters have been induIginS. one of the vessels on which such big odds have been taken was the British bark Commander, which sailed on April II from Chittagong, India, for the West In dies and the Delaware breakwater and has been given up as lost. Both vessel and cargo were insured as ordinary risks, al the rates then current for vessels trad ing on long voyages. After three months had elapsed without the arrival of the vessel the original insurers placed their risks with other companies. paying tWen- ty guineas premium, and escaping the payment of a tot2i loss. Those who took the new risk became alarmed at the con tinued absence of the vessel. and to pro tect themselves, they reinsured the yes- sel and cargo at forty guineas premium
