Quarre1s in the Army.

'Rivalries and quarrels in the old
army" said the Colonel, "Were settled
without guns. l remember only one
case in which quarreling companies or
regiments appealed to arms, and in
that case a barrel eaded, unarmed Ma
jor General turned riot into order. AS
a rule soldiers in a quarrel never
thought of their rifles, only a few feet
away, but. fought their quarrels out
with fists and feet. By common con-
sent rifles were reserved for the enc
mics of the country, and were not re-
garded as legitimate weapons in per-
sonal or regimental quarrels.
'After one of the greatest battles Of
the war our division had general en-
gagement with a division in Thomas
corps. The fight was over rails which
at the beginning of the days battle
had been in the possession of our di-
vision, but which at the close OF the
battle had been seized by the other.
There was pulling and hauling, goug-
ing and striking in the dark, until the
generals commanding the divisions
good-naturedly interfered and the rails
were divided. "-Chicago Inter Ocean.
Coming Events Cast Shadows Before.
When Marcus Morton was Governor
of Massachusetts for the first time he
one day addressed his council in the
executive apartment Of the State
House upo1 his intended appoint
ments, and among other matters he al
luded to petition from young man
who desired to fill the situation of mes
senger to the Governor and council.
The applicant had then just COM
menced his public career, having
spoken at political meetings with ex-
cellent effect. The Governor remark
ed with reference to the matter: II
have considered his case and shall not
appoint him, for he is too smart man
and too good mechanic to fill the po-
sition." what did you say was his
nameY asked councillor who had not
listened very attentively. "Hfs name"
renlied the Governor, ''is Nathaniel P.
Ranks" That General Banks was one
of the truest hearted, though not al
WAYS the most successful, of patriots,
in the hour of his country's woe, not
one will deny.

Hipdoo Hospitality.

In his private capacity the Hindoo is
frequently very Hospitality inclined
The fact that his caste prejudices him
from eating with Europeans does not
always prevent him from offering an
invitation to dinner-his idea of En-
glish hospitality. This consists in his
driving his guests to hotel and paying
for dinner, while he awaits it's cop
sumption in another part of the house.
1t takes one some little time to get
used to this sort of procedure; but after
awhile one sees the propriety of accept
ing the kindness in the spirit which
prompts it.

AS soon as Neville had perfected his
plans for Selling the steamer, schoon-

and guns sufficient for two vessels,
which had been shipped from England,
were taken or board. The schooner
then sailed for the Santa Cruz Islands,
off Santa Barbara, and there waited
for another schooner, the Chapman,
which had been purchased at San
Francisco. She was ostensibly fitted
out for a coasting voyage, and she
took on board men enough to man two
vessels Both schooners were to fly

was named the Vesta, and was fitted
up with pivot gun, and made a for

lColumhia State.)
IL is a fact, and a gratifying one, that
the cause of silver was never so prom
is:ng as it is now, and the future of Re
publicanism never SO unpromlSing.
That PARTY has sold itself to the pow
ers of money and money only. With the
proceeds of it's sale it has bought one
election; but it sold out the public in
terests as well when it fettered itself IN
slavery to Wall street, and now that
the wrath of the people rises against it.,
il finds itself una bic TO adopt adequate
measures of defense.
here is only one hope for the Re
publican party, and that Is TO enter
upon foreign war. 1t is the only
thing which can divert the attention
of the masses from the utter failure
and shamefulnesss of its domestic policy.
The money power demands peace ar
any price; but it lis not distinctly nOml-
mated in the bond, and popular war Of
fers a side-door escape under cover OF
the honor of the flag.
Ne believe it will be McKinley's poll
cy to let American wrath at the situa-
ton in Cuba grow with the continuance
of governmental inaction until nearer
approach of the Congression elections
until some time in the summer-and
tlnen. when it is at the right heat. in
teryene by force That would be a
good stroke. If anything could cover
UP domestic failure. that would. But
still there are unpleasant possibilities
for the President. The Democratic
party could not be counted on to OPP
pose such a war. And it's exigencies
might force an expansion of the cur
rency, and everturning of the gold basis.

QUO VADIS.
lHanner's Weekly.l


For some months a good many worthy
people have found convenient measure
of The intelligence Of their fellows in
the popular story Quo Vadis. Not to
have read Quo Vadis has been to con-
fess ones self Indifference TO letters;
not to admire it beyond all the books of
it's year has been to admit incapacity
to recognize merit. No opinion is here
offered as to whether or not the book is
a masterpiece, but it is noted Tat the
worm that the Quo Vadis folks have
trod on shows signs of beginning to
turn. The New York Times. in re-
cent editorial paragraph, alludes to a
reference TO the book by Mr.. John s.
Wise, at the Princeton dinner in New
York, and finds an opportunity to de-
clare that the popularity of Mr.. Sienkie-
wiczs deliverance is due to the fact that
''it has enabled the large class of readers
who admire IL. p. Roe to get from n
tale nominally religious minute descrip-
tons of certain kinds of wickedness
about which their curiosity is very
great. The Times recklessly adds
"A more constituencies EDot-boiler' was
never written by man of talent" Z"
When we consider how large a share of
the capital of the country is locked up
in copies of Ono Vadis, and how enor-
nous an amount of time has been spent
by the people of this country in reading
it. it is apparent that the dissemination
Of such views as the Times has ex-
pressed amounts to an assault on public
confidence. 1t is question how far
such views may be eXtenuated on the
ground that they make it easier for per
sons who have not read Quo Vadis. and

IT'S NOT INVITING.

President Andrews, of Brown Uni
versity, who is to shortly lecture at the
State Normal and Industrial Coilege Ut
Greensboro and to deliver the commence
ment address at Wake Forest, advises
young men not to go into Journalism be-
cause if they do they win have to be
either drudge reporters or else sell THEM
selves to the propagation of opinions
which are not their own.
This is drawing it rather strongly,
but President Andrews is right in show
ing that there is little encouragement
for young men to enter journalism.
This is particularly true as it relates to
the great cities. The time was when
with a few hundred dollars James Cor
don Bennett, with a cheap basement of
fee. could start the New York Herald
and make it success, and Horace Gree
ly could go to the metropolis and found
a great paper on brains, convictions and
industry. That time has passed No
man need to hope to found a big and in
fiuential paper in q large city unless be
has the fortune OF % Hearst or Pulit-
ger. He may become a successful cdi-
torial writer or correspondent, and may
earn a good salary, but HE may not hope
to be the owner of n newspaper in a
big city.
The only poor man who controls the
policy of a paper is one who lives away
from the crowded cities. President An
drew1s states sad truth.

that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to a
healthy vigor is Electric Bitters. This
medicine is purely vegetable, acts by Civ

stomach, gently stimulates the Liver
and Kidneys, and aids these organs in
throwing off impurities. Electric Bitters
improves the appetite, aids digestion, and
is pronounced by those who have tried
it as the very best blood purifier and
nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC or 81

ed, but they were as anxious to return

Before the close of his first term,
Washington was anxious to retire. He
consulted Mr.. Madison as to the best
method of making known his determina-
tion not to accept a second term, and
Mr.. Madison gives us most interesting
account of the interview. He repre-
sents General Washington as saying
that he "only uttered his real sentiments
when he declared that his inclination
would lead him rather to go to his
farm, take his spade in his hand, and
work for his bread. than remain in his
present situation" Mr.. Madison sought
to dissuade him. and he was induced TO
accept a second term in responce to the
entreaties of his countrymen. Comment
ing on General Washington's desire to
retire, Mr.. Madison wrote that in the
condition of the young Republic, ut was
to be feared that no successor wou!d
answer all the purposes to be expected
from the continuance Of the present
chief magistrate; that the option evil
IDENTIFY lay between few characters;
Mr.. Adams, Mr.. Jay and Mr.. Jeffer-
son, were most likely to be brought into
view; that with respect to Mr.. Jefferson
his extreme repugnance to public life,
and anxiety to exchange it for his farm
and his philosophy, made it doubtful
with his friends whether it would be
possible TO obtain his own consent; and
if obtained, whether local prejudice in
the Northern States, with the views of
Pennsylvania, to the seat of Government
would not be a bar TO his appointment" !"
There are these who say 20, this is
we'll enough to talk about, but all the
same both Washington and Jefferson be-
came President" In a day of office
seeking, it is not easy to think we have
mon equal in patriotism and virtue to
Washington and Jefferson, but We are
among those who believe that If condi-
tions called for the exercise of the vir-
tues and patriotism they displayed, the
men would not be wanting.
