SOLDIERS BUDGET,
At Chickamauga.

We met at Chickamauga. hadn't seen him since
We looked across the trenches and his bullet made
vince;
But we both shook hands in friendship as hearty as
could be,
Though he had marched with Sherman, and had
marched with Lee.
We walked across the battlefield where once the
bullets flew,
And the green and bending grasses felt the fall Of
crimson dew;
And we talked the whole thing over, where the
flag was waving free;
How he had marched with Sherman, and had
served with Lee.
The drums had ceased their beating we saw no ga
bres shne
The hair about his forehead fell as snowy whit e as
mine
And voices seemed to call DER the far eternal sea-
Where the men who marched with Sherman are in
camp with those of Lee.
We parted; eyes grew misty, for we knew that
nevermore
We'd meet until the rolLcal on the other peaceful
shore;
But both shook hands in friendship as hearty as
could be.
Though he had marched with Sherman. and had
fought with Lee. Frank L. Stanton.

Silver and Gold.

On Tuesday of last week the Illinois
convention for the election of dele
gates to the national democratic con-
vention at Chicago, July z, event
crazy over the widest utterances of
Altgeld, and made him leader of solid
silver delegation instructed to vote as
unit"
On the following day, Indiana and
Ohio added their large and powerful
delegations to the silver column. In
Indiana gold delegation to the state
convention from Marion county-In-
dianapolis-was unseated and silver
men ordered to undo their work. Mr..
Bynum made hard fight on the gold
side, but he was greeted with bowls
and Kisses in the convention and finally
compelled to retire. The silver men
were rampant and triumphant. They
declare in the platform adopted, for 'the
democratic doctrine, bimetalism, and
therefore demand the immediate
restoration of bimetalsm by the free
and unlimited coinage of both silver
and gold as primary money at the ratio
of 16 to l, without waiting the CO.
operation of Great Britain or any other
foreign power, all such coinage to be
full legal tender in the payment of all
debts, public and private"
There was similar convention in
Ohio on the same day, ending in the
adoption of a similar resolution with
substantial unanimity. The Buckeye
democrats emphasized their devotion
to the cause of the white metal by
electing as permanent chairman Gen.
eral A. j. Warner, the apostle of soft
money and silver. All three conven.
tions resulted in sweeping victories fol
free silver coinage, in northern states
in which the democrats ought to kno v
better.
North Carolina democrats, on the
following day, declared for free ant
unlimited coinage OF silver, as they
might have been expected to do, bu
better things should have come out o
the party in 80 intelligent northern
community as the state of Ohio.
With these states the free silve
wing of the democratic party has nearl.
600 out of the 300 delegates that vii
constitute the Chicago convention,
preponderance in numbers that alone il
discouraging to the supporters of soun'
money, but when the fiery, fanatica
zeal of the silverists is considered thei
majority must be appalling to the mel
of reason in the party.

Swiss YuItures.

In the canton of Uri woman was liv-
ing in 1854 who had been carried off by a
lammergcier when a baby; at HundwyL
in the canton of Appenzell, a child was
carried off in sight of its parents. On the
Silberalp vulture attacked a little boy
who was watching sheep seated on rock
and had time to knock him over the edge
of the cliff before the shepherds could
drive the bird away. At Murren, above
the valley of Lauterbrunnen, vulture
carried an infant to an inaccessible rock
opposite the village and devoured it. Por-
tions of the baby's red frock lay there for
some time. Another child 2 years old, but
very small and feeble, was lost when out
with her sister The remains of the body
were afterward found on rock separated
from that where the child was last seen by
precipice. A vulture must have taken 1t
there, either dead or living.
But the most striking instance of the
child devouring tendency of these birds
occurred in the Bernese Overland. A child
years Old called Anne Zurbuchen, was
taken up to the high alp at haymaking
time and left asleep while the father
fetched load of hay. He returned to find
the child gone. AT the same time another
peasant, called Henri Michel, was coming
up the mountain Dy rouen pam, Wien
he heard child cry. At the same time he
saw lammergeier rise and sail away.
Running up to the place. he found the
little girl, unhurt except for wounds in
the arm and left hand, where the bird had
clutched her. She had lost her socks, shoes
and cap while being transported by the
bird, the distance traversed being about
$50 yards. The facts were all entered in
the parish archives of the village of Hab-
keren, and the girl, who lived to be an
old woman was always known as "Geier

THAT the democratic party is, as
ever, ready to do anything that will
give it chance to win is shown by the
alacrity of democrats to consider even
the widest sort of a proposition which
promises to gain populist and silver
republican votes. One of these propo-
sitions, which has been seriously ac-
cepted by some democrats and the car
rying out of which may even be at
tempted at the Chicago convention, is
that democrat be nominated for presi-
dent and populist for vice-president,
and that resolution endorsing Senator
Teller for secretary of the treasury be
adopted by the convention. And these
men actually seem to think that the
voters of this country can be bam-
boozled by such crazy-quilt sort of an
arrangement as this. They will know
better later. -
ACCORDING to the consensus of
Washington opinion, without regard to
party politics, writes our Washington
correspondent, the dignity and effect
of Senator Teller's bolt from the st.
Louis convention has been greatly les
sened by the persistent efforts of the
populists to push Mr.. Teller forward as
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton. Of course those who know Sena-
tor Teller's high-minded devotion to
principle, do not for moment believe
that he is taking any hand in this bust
ness, but there can be no doubt that in
giving advance notice of his intention
to do just what he did, he put it in the
power of men less high-minded to make
use of him as tool to attempt to carry
out certain schemes of their own, nor
that those men are taking advantage of
their opportunity. There isn't the
slightest probability that the democrats
will nominate Senator Teller for presi.
dent, and he would increase the re-
spect with which he is generally re.
garded if he would put an end to the
game by forbidding the use of his name
before that convention.

ABOUT the oldest thing in the pres
ent political situation is that, although
Mr.. Cleveland said in his broadside
against the silver democrats, published
recently, that his only desire hereafter
was to be private in the party ranks,
the belief is generally held in Washing
ton that he is willing to accept the
democratic nomination again, even
upon a silver platform. This isn't
complimentary to Mr.. Cleveland, but
it is the fact all the same.

half OF his time at home was spent
in the saddle, and this active
out-of-door life gave him q glow Of
heath and sense OF vigor. We
learn from his intimate friend,
George Mercer, interesting details.
His skin was clear and colorless !;
the nose straight; the face long,
with high round cheekbones the
blue-gray and widely-separated
eyes Swallowed by heavy brows !;
a large, mobile mouth, showing

ARRANGING FOR THE FIGHT.
Billie Brady Devising Scheme to Con-
duct Prize Fights.

Billie Brady Devising Scheme to Con-
duct Prize Fights.
Billie Brady, Corbett's manager,
has a scheme for pulling off prize
fights. Here it is:
"My proposition is to build
vessel expressly for fighting pur-
poses. She need not exceed $4,000.
She would have no masts or other
rigging on deck that could inter
fere with the fighters and the COM
fort Of the spectators. She would
be built on keel like other sea-
going craft, but her deck would
reach far out over both sides of the
hull. There would be a rail around
the edges Of the deck. In the mid
die Of the deck there would be the
customary 24.foot platform for the
boxers. The seats for the specta-
tors could be arranged in tiers
around the four sides OF the ring,
as they are in all fighting smphi-
theatres. Below deck would be
the rooms for the fighters and
seconds. My proposal is that a
club be formed which shall offer
purse for a fight between Corbett
and FitZsimmons, build the boat,
take 1t to sea and derive whatever
profit may accrue. The club could
easily accommodate 1000 speCta-
tors at $50 each. The ship could
be taken beyond the three-mile
limit by the tugs and anchored
there. The men would train some
where around New York and en-
bark on the vessel without coming
into collision with any law. There
need be no secrecy about the lOCa-
tion of the fight nor the date set
for it,"
SHOULD any unforeseen obstacle
arise to prevent the fight at sea
the wonderful Brady has another
scheme by which the battle might
be fought on land.
"What is the matter with
Hayti?" said Brady. "There is an
island situated not a great dis
lance from the coast OF Florida
that has an independent republi-
can government. They have no
law against fighting, and if some
body should make the president
a present OF a string OF colored
glass beads he would let the men
fight in the yard OF his residence.
"If you don't like Hayti, what is
the matter with the Bahamas?
They are under Spanish rule, but
Spain has no laws against fight
ing. There are dozens OF islands
off the coast OF Florida, but not
within the Jurisdiction OF the
United States, on which a fight
could be pulled off. The ship idea
is the best one. ] am to meet a
few gentlemen who are interested
in the subject. The result OF that
meeting will probably be the
formation OF club"
