NOTES or THE REUNION.
Scenes and Incidents of Yesterday
Briefly Set Forth.

one Of the most affecting scenes or the
reunion came under the observation of a
Dispatch man yesterday morning in front
of the veteran headquarters at No. l5ll
east Main street. Sitting down In front
of this building was an aged veteran on
whose head the frosts Of more than sixty
winters had left their impress. He was
apparently enjoying himself, though, ana
was seemingly obliyious 10 mis- surround
ings Another veteran on whom Father
Time had also made his imprint came
slowly sauntering down the hill Arriving
in front of the headquarters building, ne
stopped and. gazing around him, MS eyes
fell upon the veteran VINO was seated In
the doorway. With one mighty whoop he
sprang toward him, and the other rose
70 meet him. mutual recognition shining
in both their faces They embraced each
other and kissed repeatedly. and finally
both went copiously. These two men
were with Jackson in the Valley cam
paigns. and had side by side passed
through scenes which tried mems souls.
They had not met since the surrender.
and they were both oyerjoyed at this
chance meeting.
In the Exposition building are quartered
two uniformed veteran organizations from
Nashyille-one an infantry company, ana
the other a cavalry troop. Their uniforms
consist of home-spun Confederate gray,
with coats such as were worn by Johnny
Rebr during the war They will march
with the Tennessee division I'm the pa
rade. and will no doubt make fine dis
play.

The Russsn La nguage In Russia Society

The coronation of the czar Will take
place in May, and those who intend
then visiting Moscow are already MAX
ing their preparations. Although the
long journey and the peculiar circum-
stances will make no small equipment
necessary, ,one important item will prob
ably be neglected by all alike. The
fallacy prevailing in England that the
Russian language is without Importance
in Russian society is. like most fallacies.
a superannuated truth and survives
only through ignorance of the march of
events. Formerly every Russian family
spoke three foreign languages. one of
which, generally French, was in every
day use, and two, German and English,
were always available. In society
French was universal, German was
largely used in commerce, and English
was the language of the nursery, while
Russian was relegated to the stewards
office and the servants hall.
Now, however. the Russian language
has worked it's way up through the
tion of it's literary capabilities by the
author Gogol and the promotion of ma
tional feeling in the upper classes by the
late Emperor Alexander III. The ma
tional language has now almost ousted
French from the family circle and is
rapidly taking the first place in society.
German is now of little use to the trav-
eler and the tourist had better avoid it
altogether, or he may, like a recent
visitor to cosmopolitan st. Petersburg,
be ANONYMOUSLY turned out of shop in
the Nevsky Prospect or be cruelty
snubbed by some fair patriot. Although
no average Englishman would be we'll
advised in attempting to learn Russian
by May, he could commit easily to mem
ory greetings, fareweils and few COM
mon phrases which would give pleasure
to his hosts, and probably contribute
much to his own. 1t will be surprising
II, after he has experienced the social
and political importance of the language
and listened to its melodious cadences.
he allows the difficulties OF the initial
stages of learning to deter him from the
prosecution of so interesting q study.
The visitor to Moscow who attended
the ceremonies. of the Easter festival.
got an idea of Russian religious feeling:
If he stays for the coronation of the czar
in May he will realize the meaning of
Russian loyalty, and he will then have
appreciated the two great forces which
are the handspring of the Russian state.
But If he stays two months more and
learns to interpret the Russian Ian
guage he will find in it the history and
character of the Russian people, of their
national, local and family life, of their
tastes and thoughts, recorded from day
to day by themselves, and he may then
look forward to a more lasting pleasure
than the recollection of the most i'm
pressive religious ceremonial or state
pageant.-Pall Mall Gazette,
