Like the Cincinnati, membership in
the Loyal Legion is restricted to COM

eldest male descendants according to
the laws Of primOgeniture. The Off
GERS constitute members OF the first
class and their eldest sons members

men in civil life who performed ser
vice of note to the Federal cause dur
ing the war. Only sixty-two Of these
were admitted, one of the most notable
being John Sherman, now secretary
Of state.
The objects of the Loyal Legion are:
TO cherish the memories and associa-
lions of the war waged in defense Of
the unity and indivisibility OF the re-
public; to strengthen the ties of frater-
nal friendships and sympathy formed
by companionship in arms; to advance
the best interests Of the soldiers and

There was some opposition to the
order because of it's iron-clad laws,
making the eldest lineal male descend
ant eligible for membership. 1t was
feared in some quarters that this would
result in the establishment of a nobiI-
ity because of its imitation of the her
editary laws of European countries
To offset this the Society of ST. Tam

ticularly to oppose the tendencies
which it was feared were nurtured and

Inculcaie Patriotism

Al this season there should be no
alloy in the golden tribute of our
country to the soldiers. Their memory
should be cherished, their bravery ex-
tolled and their examples emulated.
It is impossible to value too highly
their deeds ON southern battle-fie1ds
to speak too emphatically Of their
patriotic motives. The incubation OF
the lessons Of patriotism is as much a
duty as the defense of the country
The anniversary of the day when the
graves of our beloved heroes are strewr
with the flowers of a nations love
should be observed with all the fervol
which a patriotic and home loving
people can ommand.-Selected.

SLOW BUT SURE.

A drummer who travels in Maine is
not greatly impressed with the rapid.
ity of the telegraph service in that
state. Recently he was in the upper
part of a county and wanted to reach
another town that night. He tele-
graphed the hotel keeper in the latter
place early in the day to send a team
to the station for him. When lie
reached the station at night no team
was there, so he started to walk to the
village, which was quite a little dis
lance off. No sooner had he stal ted
than the station agent said to ham
Are you going to the village?"
Yes
Then I wish you would take a dis
patch up to the hotel"
1t was the dispatch ordering the
team.

lutlOnary war societies are Springing
up all the time for the accommoda-
ton of new generations of descendants
of the heroes, and, taking this as a
precedent, civil war societies will be
in process of formation one hundred
years hence. One OF the most recent
organizations of the revolution to be
formed is that devoted to the minor
sons and daughters of members of the
societies of Sons and Daughters of the
Revolution. This is called Children
of the American Revolution.
The father of all these societies. as
we'll as those of the civil war. is the
Order of the Cincinnati, founded on
May Is, 1888. at a meeting of the of
tcers of the Continental army at their
environments near New Windsor, on
the Hudson river. Each regiment and
staff corps sent its representative. and
Inspector General Steuben presided.
The purpose of the society as then
draughted was:
To perpetuate, therefore, as well
the remembrance of this vast event,
as the mutual friendships which have
been formed under the pressure of
common danger, and, in many in
stances, cemented by the blood of the
parties, the officers of the American
army do hereby, in the most solemn
manner, associate, constitute and com
bine themselves into one Society OF
Friends, to endure as long as they
shall endure, or any of their eldest
male posterity, and, in failure thereof
the collateral branches who may be
judged worthy of becoming its sup
lorters and members.

ODD AND IN CHICAGO.

The oldest thing in the shape of a
railroad locomotive which has come
into Chicago IN recent years is a loco
motive fitted with an inspection cab
in front, and is designed to be used in
looking over the roadway of the com
pany which owns it. The locomotive
is one of the regular Chicago and West
Michigan engines, which was found to
be too light for passenger service. 1t
was rebuilt, and glLss-fronted cab
put over the pilot. The addition will
hold six people, and contains steam
heat and airbrake connections. 1t is
used by The officials of the road in
making inspections and furnishes a
novel and delightful method Of seeiEg
the track.-Chicago Tribune.
