Paper Thirty Years Ago.

In looking back at what was written
in regard to paper making not more
than 80 years $50 q popular authority,
treating of the discovery of paper max
ing from esparto, the source being
Spain, cited Spain as an unstable coun-
try. The great business of paper max
ing might be quite undone or made
helpless if it were to depend on Spain
for esparto. Next bamboo as a crude
material was discussed and found inn
practicable. Its bulk and the cost of
carriage would render bamboo fer pa
per stock impossible Bagasse, the
fibrous residue of the sugar cane, was
deemed only of relative value, for it
gave only 40 per cent of fiber.
The writer, treating of cotton or linen
rags, said that these could be no longer
depended upon, and next considered the
proposed utilization of wood. He deem
ed this out of the question. Wood,
he said, contains but small amount
of fiber and has little telling power.
Then the writer vi the article told how
several mills in England and Scotland
which had tried to mako paper from
such woud pulp had abandoned its man.

A SONG FOX THE VOLUNTEERS.
BY WILL II. DIXON.

Hurrah for the brave volunteer. who with
loyal heart and true
Stood up for the right in the midst OF the
fight. an American thro' and thro'-
While Others may sing with 4 hearty ring, and
for the regulars give good cher.
Yet my heart sings q song the whole day long
"a song for the brave volunteer.
All honor to the boys who marched away
meath the heat of the blazing sun.
Who stood dav and night in the thick of the
fight, nor left till the battle was won;
Who gave UP all, at their country's call and
meath the nag that waves on high
Marched forth to the fight for the cause of
right to dare, TO do. or to die
Then hurrah for the brave volunteers who
come marching home today,
Who fought with will Caney'S hill, and
stood in the midst of the fray;
Who faced shot and shell in that living he'll
where the sun was blazing and hot.
Who stood brave and true and were grit clear
thro'; as they gave back shot for shot
4 nd here's a tear for the comrade who sleeps
today in that far OF land by the sea-
Who gave up his life in the midst of the strife
and died for the flag of the free;
All we never can know all the want and the
HEwoe. the hardships. the hunger and tears
in the ranks and welcome our brave vol
unteers-
So here's a welcome that's loyal and hearty
and true, "A welcome TO today.
To the boys in blue who were grit clean thro =.
who come marching home from the fray;
We welcome you home with heart ana hand
with song. wi h feast and good cheer,
While a day long in our heart rings song-a

where Lie. the Blame.

William f. Curtis, a lifelong re-
publican and for wears the CORE
spondent of the Chicago Record, at
Washington, was asked by>a CORE
spondent: What proportion APP
proximately of the suffering of the
United States soldiers has been due
to the incompetency of officers who
have been appointed from civil life?'
His reply is very significant: Il
should say the greater part of it, and
think everyone who has visited the
camps will agree with me. The in
experience of both the regimental
and staff officers who were appointed
to the army from civil life and gen.
orally for political reasons, has de-
comforts and conveniences, but the
necessities of life
Who is responsible for the appoint
ment of these inexperienced civilians,
for political reasons?" Take, for
instance. the state of Illinois, who is
responsible for the appointment of
such men here? There has been a
good deal of suffering among Illinois
troops. Who is responsible for it?
ANY one who has marked the course
of events here must say, John r.
Tanner. No sooner was he seated
in the governors chair than he began
to reconstruct the militia of the state
turning out competent democrats
and appointing his political friends to
the vacant places. No governor has
been so determined that the troops of
his state should be Differed by the
states authorities as he. and accord
ingly he has Differed the troops from
his state almost solely from his po-
litical friends. He never asked any
questions as to what the troops
wanted, or is the man competent,
but, what political debt he could pay
bv the appointments he should make.
The war found our militia regiments
oflicered, as largely as he could make
it, by small republican politicians.
The result is seen in every Illinois
regiment without exception, and the
cause is seated. apparently well salts
fed. in the governors chair at Spring
field. 1t does not pay to elect such
blatent demagogues As John X. Tan
ner more than once in n hundred
years. Now that the war is over one
can easily sum up an enormous
amount of needless pain, suffering
and sorrow, beside MANY deaths,
which are all owing to the partisan
ship, folly and demagogueism of John
X. Tanner.

HuntIng In ISygone lIays.

What long apprenticeship the would
be huntsmen had to serve in bygone
daysl CASTOR de Folk considered be-
ginning shosld be made when the child
had reached the age of 2, when it should
be placed in the kennels. King Charles
says that to become perfect huntsman
the young gentilhomme who is intended
for the post of veneur should be taken
at the age of IL. He must be healthy
and well built, he must have good sense
and especially quick and prompt judg
ment. One of the principal things re-
quired is that he should be painstaking.
Alas, 100 years later we have D'Yau-
vile telling us that man needs two
years tuition TO qualify as a huntsman
1t was not only the paid gentlemen of
the hunting establishments, however,
who became real connoisseurs, for their
royal masters took such personal inter
est III everything connected with the
chase that most of them knew all their
hounds by name, and on the eve of a
days hunting would name each hound
that was to be taken out. They also
prided themselves on being able to faire
lie bois themselves-that is, go out with
their lymers i'll the morning and quest
for and harbor the stag.-Pall Mall
