Militia Under President.
In replying to a criticism that the
President can not send the militia out
of the United States. as they are
strictly a home guard. the Army and
Navy Journal will say: We have made
no mistake. The control of the Pres
ident over the militia Is absolute and
unlimited in time OF necessity. and as
he is the sole judge OF that necessity
there is practically no limit upon his
discretion. In speaking Of the militia,
however we refer to the national mill
tia and rot 10 the national guard. Most
of the members of the national guard
are militiamen. and as such are subject
individually to the orders OF the Pres
ident. issued in accordance with law,
but the organizations of the guard are
not recognized by the government as
organizations.

TWO VOICES.

A SOUTHERN VOLUNTEER.
Yes. sir. fought with Stonewall,
And faced the fight with Lee:
But if this here Union goes to war,
Make one more gun for me.
l didn't shrink from Sherman
As he galloped TO the sea;
But If this here Union goes 20 war,
Make one more gun for me,
I was with EN- at Manassas
The bully Boys in Gray;
| heard the thunderers roarin'
Round Stonewall JackSon'S way,
And many time this sword Of mine
Has blaZed the route for Lee;
But if this old Nation goes to war,
Make one more sword for me.
I'm not so full o. fightin'.
Nor half so full o. fun,
AS I was back in the sixties
When | shouldered my old gun;
1t may be that my hair is white
Sich things, you know, must be,
But if this old Unions in for war,
Make one more gun for me,
I hain't forgot my raisin'-
Nor how, in sixty-twO,

HIS NORTHERN BROTHER.
Just make it two, old fellow,
l want to stand once more
Beneath the old flag with you,
AS in the days Of yOre
Our fathers stood together
And fought on land and sea
The battles fierce that made US
A nation of the free
I whipped you down at Vicksburg,
You licked me at Bull Run;
On many a field We struggled,
When neither victory won.
You wore the gray of Southland,
| wore the Northern blue;
Like men We did our duty
When screaming bullets flew.
Four years we fought like devils.
But when the war was done
Your hand met mine in friendly ella. Z
Our two hearts beat as one.
And now when danger threatens.
No North, no South, we know,
Once more we stand together
To fight the common foe
Ny head. like yours, is frosty
Old age is creeping on;
Life's sun is lower sinking,
My day will soon be gone.
But if our country's honor
Needs once again her son,
I'm ready, too. old fellow
So get another gun.

Chicago. July iS.-Corn absorbed all the
interest in the speculative pits to-day.
There was an enormous business done in
corn and Saturdays advance was well
maintained until near the end of the ses-
sion. The weather was a factor of i'm
p~ortance on the side of the bulls. The
corn bell was without rains over sunday
and the weather bureau forecast gave in
dications of none for &c hours.
The wheat pit ceased to be attractive to
the bulk OF the grain spectators, who
crowded the somewhat confined area Of
the corn pit to a most uncomfortable de-
gree. A shower of rain on Lssalle street
had a tendency to create akn near
the close. There was generous profft-tak-
ing by the smaller holders on the bulge
and offerings from this source greatly
aided reactions. September closed hc

Excellent weather for harvesting and
threshing together will good crop reports
