on the question.

pad every month IN coin. Heretofore
there has been no difficulty IN securing

al Tyler's staff, who was a witness of Colonel Quay's conduct.
 General Tyler gives this eulogium of Colonel Quay's gallantry: "Colonel Quay was upon my staff as 8 volunteer aid-de-oamp, and to him I am greatly indebted. Notwithstanding his enfee- bled health, he was in the saddle early and late, ever prompt and efficient, es- pecially so during the. engagement. In the charge on Marye's Heights his cool ness and gallantry were of a most con- spicuous character, such indeed as few men in sound health could have equaled, and such as I never saw excelled under any circumstances. but feebly express it when l say his conduct commanded my highest admiration Not satisfied with his labor of the afternoon, and al though so weak from his sickness as to be scarcely able to travel, he remained in the field, aiding in removing the wounded from undor the enemy s guns until after midnight J
 Winfield M. Clark was the captain of Company F of the One Hundred and Thirty fourth, the company which had 28 out of its 52 men killed or wounded within the short space of 12 minutes.
 Colonel Quay, he says, did not try to protect himself, as some officers did, by dismounting, but rode his horse to within q few yards of the wall ]"
 The results of the attacks on Marye's Heights or of the battle of Fredericks- burg are known to all students of his tory. Six times the Federals charged six times they were beaten back. Gener- al Longstreet in his account of the bat tic gives it as his opinion that the Fed erals left fully 1000 men killed and wounded on the hillside. "The dead, , he says "were piled sometimes three lines deep, and when morning broke the spectacle that we saw upon the battle field was one of the most distressing I ever witnessed. 1 thought as I saw the Federals come again and again to their death that they deserved success if eour- age and daring could entitle soldiers to victory.
 When one is familiar with the part played by Colonel Quay in this terrible engagement, wonder at the great influ- ence he exercises over men ceases. The man who could ride through such terri ble carnage, who could sec men falling about him by thousands and yet amid it all bear himself with perfect equa- nimity and heroic yalor, was undoubt- edly born to be leader of men. The fact, then, that he could enter upon such fearful drama with $10,0 of his comrades money in the haversack which was fastened across the shoulders shows, too, that he is not man to fear responsibilities. This money was all faithfully distributed by him when he left the service after the battle, and it's distribution was doubtless attended with many dolorous scene. = St. Louis Globe Democrat

 Much Interest Shown In the Balloon Ex-
 petition to the Pole.
 There is much greater interest felt in Norway and Sweden just now oyer NJ Andree's balloon expedition to the north pole than in the vague reports about Dr. Manson. The exploring bal loon is already more than half complet- ed, and it will be finished in another month. The severest tests are being ap- piled to the texture and seams of the great bag as it is put together
 The cloth is said to be much stronger than was contracted for, and the seams are still stronger than the cloth. A bal loon house is being constructed at Got tenburg, whence it will be transported in pieces to Spitzbergen, where the as- tension will begin. This house will be octagonal, about 80 feet high and no broad. The roof, which, of course, will be expansible, will be of balloon cloth. The walls and floor of the house will be covered with felt inside, so as to pre- vent damage by friction to the balloon, and the windows will be of gelatin in- stead of glass.
 It is found that combination of snl- phuric acid and malleable iron shavings yields the best hydrogen gas, and 35 tons of this material will be taken to Spitzbergen. It is expected that all the arrangements for the imitation of the balloon at Spitzbergen will be com pleted by the 25th of May Now York Suo
