The following selection, composed
by an old comrade, was read by Miss
jamie Strider. 1t tells Of an event
that happened Company D at Brandy
Station
This is to nice old army mess,
Who seldom got their match.
Until they took the farmers pigs,
Which were slaughtered in batch.
Some members of the company,
Although they knew them well,
Could stand and beg them for taste,
But could not get smell.
Now Farmer Jack came into camp
His property to hunt,
And while he was at this mess
He heard the mama grunt.
Now, Farmer Jack into a passion flew,
But it gave not single vent,
Until he found the Colonel in his little
tent,
And to him his tale Of woe he blew
Now these two men to this nice mess
At once did hurriedly repair,
But to poor Farmer Jacks surprise
The mama was not there.
Had gone the way the piggies went,
For there was hide and hair;
There was nothing for their mess to do
But each man pay his share.
Now, Farmer Jack, nice old man,
In this his friendly call,
Says he'll not charge much
And push them to the wall.
Six hundred dollars think, is fair,
And not cent less, sure;
But now they found their mistake,
Gee, golly, how they swore.
The members of this mess you know,
And loved them as a rule;
| The one was blacksmith,
And always rode mule;
Another was Commissary with Earl,
But his name would not mention
For all that's in the world.
AN OLD CoMRADE.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the promises
made last fall, not a movement has
been made to remedy the financial sit
uation. The tariff bill won't help any
body but the rich manufacturers who
are pushing it to get back their cam
paign contributions. The House is
doing absolutely nothing in the way
Of legislation. Do the people approve
of this waste of valuable time?

Mr.. Isaac Homer, proprietor of the
Burton House, Burton, W. Va, and
one of the most widely known men in
the community, was cured of rheu-
matism after three years of suffering.
He says: II have not sufficient COM
mand Of language to convey any idea
of what suffered; my physicians told
me that nothing could be done for me !;
and my friends were fully convinced
that nothing but death would relieve
me of my suffering. In June, 1864,
Mr.. Evans, then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Co., recommended
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. At this
time my foot and limb were swollen to
more than double their normal size
and it seemed to me my. leg would
burst, but soon after l began using the
Pain Balm, the swelling began to de-
crease, the pain to leave, and now l
consider that l am entirely cured. "

confederate Reunion.

The second annual reunion OF the
survivors of Company D, Twelfth Vir-
GINA Cavalry, G. S. A., was held at
Shenandoah Junction last Thursday.
The day was very cool, and it was
rather chilly in the woods, but the
crowd seemed to enjoy the affair not
withstanding the disappointment occa-
stoned by the absence of orators and
war songs which made the first reunion
such an enjoyable affair.
Sergeant J. W. McCleary, of Balti-
more, called the old Confeds to order,
Corporal Edward Deck marshalling
them into position. Sergeant Nc
Cleary then called the roll, and 90
members responded. The remarkable
fact was noted that although the mem
bers of this company are climbing the
century mark, not a single death oc-
Cured during the past year. Of the
Isl members of Company D, l3 were
killed during the war, 81 were wound
ed, 81 were taken prisoner by the enc
my, 35 died of wounds during the war
or natural causes since its close, %
answered at roll-call, and "a others
are either living or their whereabouts
unknown.
After roll-call a committee composed
of Messrs. A. L. Osbourn, chairman,
Edward Deck, George H. Hagley, Eph.
G. Watson, J. NJ. Hendricks and D. G..
Moler was appointed to provide speak
ers and suitable music for the next an
nual reunion also to say where and
when it shall be held. Miss jamie
Strider read poem that made the boys
laugh heartily. The boys then broke
ranks for dinner, which was served
picnic style and heartily enjoyed by
all present. In the afternoon Maj. E.
H. Mcdonald, Capt. Lee H. Moler and
Mr.. Alex L. Osbourn entertained the
crowd with some interesting war sto-
| ries, and Capt. James W. Glenn paid
his respects to the women of our fair
Southland. A choir rendered some
hymns, the old soldiers gave the "rebel
yell and exhibited their suppleness
| despite their silvered hair.
A number of the members of Com
pany A were present also and enjoyed
the day. They were asked to appoint
a committee to act with Company DIS
committee in arranging for the reunion
Of '98. The old Confeds had a jolly
time with their stories of the great con-
aict Captain H. W. Kearney, of
Alexandria, Va, was present to greet
the members of his old company once
again.
The committee appointed had a
meeting on the grounds and decided
to hold the next reunion at Shenan-
doah Junction, sometime in the month
of May, date to be set later. They
propose to have everything in fine
shape for 98. A programme will be
prepared and carried out and the re-
union will be made grand success.
The boys were somewhat handicapped
in having no one to prepare a pro-
gramme this year and the reunion was
more in the nature of a business meet
ing to prepare for the future, but they
expect to make things lively in SO.

peninsula who will not keep alive
through the winter without assistance.
There Is, of course, the considerable gov
eminent problem ofproviding seed pota-
toes for next spring. But there is the
more urgent popular problem of seeing
that famine and the fever do not begin
their work before governments slow
machinery can be set in motion.
Thus far I catch not sign Of what
used to be called agrarian disturbance
or agitation. No doubt landlordism is
still on the backs OF the people, but va
rious legislative Establishments, and the
altered spirit of administration, have be-
tween them put the burden about so
that 1t no longer presses on open sores.
There are still too many constables to
be seen, but they have nothing to do but
watch the weather and pray for rain to
flood the trout streams for them Even
in this GIengarlff district, to which I
have just come, there is nothing visibly
remaining of the fierce spirit remember
there in 1884. The potatoes here are a
total failure, among the poorer farmers
at least, and this is one Of the very
poorest districts in all ireland, but one
hears not word about landlords" or
agents." or rents" Later on these
words may come to the top in popular
speech, but at present they are not men
toned. Do not imagine, from this, that
any notable political change has been
effected. The people are nationalists as
sincerely as ever they were, and they
like the system of misgovernment and
nauddIng under which they live as little
as ever they did. 1t is only that the
abuses of this system have become tenn
porarily obscured, or abated in the peo-
pies. consciousness. They are, for the
moment, thinking of other things. An
acute touch of distress in the bad dis
tricts, however, would bring the subject
sharply back into their minds again. If
there is not speedy help that acute touch
must surely come, and with it many
things that no good person will well
come.-Harold Frederic's Letter in the
London Chronicle.

Yesterdays Stock Market Fell or in the
Later Dealings,

a
Later Dealings,
New York, Oct. 4.--There was little
more in to-days market than a running
contest in which the bulls were success
full during the early part Of the day,
but the bears later put the opponents
to rout, wiping out all the gains of the
earlier trading. The lively buying on
Saturday apparently treasured foreign
capital, so that prices of American Sc
curities on the London exchange were
advanced before the opening here. The
International stocks opened about on a
parity with the London higher level.
The mass of orders in the hands of COM
mission houses and which were put into
execution Immediately, showed that the
home public as well as the foreigners
believed that the market had turned
again and that reaction had come to
an end,
The sensational jump in Manhattan
at the opening of over seven points also
stimulated the rise, though the small
volume Of purchases on which the
stock was carried up and the heavy Of
ferings Immediately invited by the adj
vance quickly showed that the jump
was purely manipulated. The pirlched
shorts having covered, the price quick.
" receded and transactions proceeded
on normal basis.
The railroad statements for the DAY,
all of which showed a heavy increase
of earnings, famed the flame of the
bull enthusiasm. Of these the most
notable were the fourth. week and
monthly statement Of ST. Paul and Rock
island, the former showing an increase
for the month of $332,717 and the latter
of s3d4. 023. Southern Paciflc's August
statement made the remarkable show
ing Of a gain in the net earnings of
$455,441
The advance of the market under ag-
gressive leadership extended from one
TO two points. The higher prices in
vited heavy realizing sales and the
bears added the pressure of the short
selling, under which the advances melt
ed away in most cases, the net losses
being however for the most part, frac-
tional. Union Pacific was a notable
exception, it's net loss extending to 19s.
Quite a number of the less active stocks
escaped the latter liquidation and re-
tanned net gains TO u point OF over out
the level of the market as a whole
closed decidedly lower. Sugar was ac-
tive all day and it's later weakness was
a material factor in breaking the mar
kct.
The bond mrket showed a decided ac-
cess of activity and prices held steady
J for the most part against the late
weakness in the stock market. Total
sales, $2,15o,O60
Government bonds were strong and
