The passage may be compared with Zola's
description. "The now constant Kissing
OF the bullets, with their sharp ping or
buzz whispering around and sometimes
into us, gave me a sickening. feeling and a
cold perspiration. felt weak around my

CHARLIE BUYS THE CIGARS.
South Side MatrOn Relates an Encoun
ter With Masher.

Chicago Chronicle
''If there is any thing in this world that
does make me angry clear through it Is a
'masher.'" The speaker was an attractive
south side matron, whom no one would
suppose, from her juvenile appearance and
carriage, to be she Mother or a son almost
old enough to vote. She was calling on
some west side friends, and after making
the above remark was asked what had
happened TO turn her thoughts on such
subject.
IN tell you," she said. 'You know my
Frank and Charley s. are great chums
Charley is twenty.one and a nice locking
boy, but such a dude! His father has lots of
money and as Charley is the only son, why,
nothing is too good, for him. He doesn't 10
thing! It's apity his father doesn't take
him in the bank and make man OF him."
'But what's Charley to do with the ques-
ton of 'mashers' and your indignation?"
asked one of the ladies.

Macmonnies Dancing Bacchante.

The Boston art commission, which mas Ge-
cded that the Macmonnies Dancing Bac-
clante is unsuitable to adorn the Boston
Public Library, must expect 10 have It's
Judgment freely criticised and even derlded.
II does not find fault with tie statle; in
deed, 1t expressly recognizes its ''remarE-
able technical merits." but it seems to he
satisfied that it is too gay for the Boston
Library. The Bacchante whom Mr.. Mac
MONIES devised is poised ON one foot and
carries Il baby on one arm. She is clothed
only i'll the cheerful graces OF youth, and her
whole attitude implies Indifference as Ia
whether school is keeping or not. No doubt
the art commission feels that any young
female who p0stures in the libTary's court,
even If not personally bOOkish, SHOULD at
least give evidence or being aware that
the schoolmaster is abroad.
The statue belongs TO MIR. MCkim, OF the
firm of McKim, Meade x White, which
built the library. 1t was given by him TO
the trustees, and was exhibited III Boston,
where. of course, it found many admirers.
SO many observers, however, claInored
against it as being deficientin austerity that
he art commission has doubtless acted
for the best In sending IL out or town. 1t

Maj. Edward Leslie, Of Paterson, " j., and
the inventor of the rotary snow plow, killed
himself March 26 with an overdose of lauda-
dun. He was respondent over a lawsuit with
his brother, which had been decided against
him.
In the Autumn of 1866, Frank Clendenin,
then a resident of Morrison, ILL.,, organized a
Grand Army Post at Erie, III. After few
years the Post disbanded. One of the members
OF said Post was George C. Wilcox, who sub
sequently removed to Joliet, H., and on March
3, 1896, was again mustered into the Grand
Army as a member Of Bartleson Post, 6, the
obligation and the ceremony of muster being
conducted by Frank CIendenin, the same CON-
rade who mustered him in 1866.
Henry Quinby, sou of the late Gen. Isaac
Quinby, and bookkeeper in the Union Bank of
Rochester, n. Y, felt angered at letter which
was written to his widowed mother by John
A. G.. Wright, we'll known as a good roads adj
vocatc He called on Wright for an apology,
which the latter refused, when he slapped his
face. Wright drew a revolver, and shot Quinby
in the shoulder. The wound Is not serious.
There is question as to Wrights sanity.

But few relatives and friends will be present

Though Maj. Gen. A. Med. McCook is on the

Deputy Secretary Of Internal Affairs, and
Chairman of the Monument Commission, has
been to Washington to study the monuments
there with reference to deciding upon model.
He was best pleased with those to Gems. Scott

Gen. d. Z. Sickes is strongly in favor of our
doing something decisive in behalf of the
Cubans. He says that we have been interven-
ing in Cuban matters for nearly three-quarters
of century. and that it is due to us that Spain
has retained the island as long as she has Had
it not been for US, England, France, or Ger
many would have had it long ago. He was Min

and did then all that he automatically could
in favor of the Cubans.

the use Of which is hereby prohibited to all
tramways or railroads, whether propelled by
steam, electric, cable, horse, or other power.
This bill is blocked in the House by
the plea of rigid economy, which sways
Speaker Reed in his control of legisla-
ton. The plea is fallacious. 1t is no
economy to fail to do a thing which
ought to be done and which must be
done, sooner or later, and which the
country is suffering from not being done.
We had surfeit of that bogus economy
in the last Congress. The less there is

The National tribune., 1896-04-02

commencing after fairly early break
fast, he might have cleaned out the
whole Army of the Potomac before the
end of that long July day. As there
were no eight-hour laws during the war,
Mr.. Lamar Fontaine would not have
objected to working in the old-fashioned
way, as long as it was light, and might
have gotten in about Is hours of good
steady work. If he had kept up his
pace of killing one man minute this
would have meant / 900 in round num-
bers in day, so that with him in the
center, and Hills and Longstreet's Corps
supporting on the right and left, the
Army of the Potomac would have fled
from the crimsoned field in wild dismay.
After this Introductory episode, the rest
of Mr. Fontaine's career reads tamely,
but he cannot forbear remarking that
the Federals put price of $4,000 on
his head. While this is the first time
we have heard of it, we should say that
