IN the list of officers named for the
proposed new regiment Of West Vir-
ginia volunteers, we note that How
ard Atkinson, son Of Governor Atkin-
son, is to be made major, Guy Scott,
son of Hon. n. B. Scott, is a lieutenant
and two sons Of Senator Elkins are to
be captain and lieutenant respectively.
These are all, no doubt, excellent
young men, and their patriotism is to
be commended but it seems to US it
would be great deal more becoming
if some of these sons Of rich or inhu-
entail men should enter as privates
1t is unlikely that they know much Of
military affairs, and they are probably
not as well fitted for important posi-
tons as many others who DO not hap
pen to have the political pull they
possess. The plums ought to be dis
tributed more judiciously.

The volunteers from Utah and other
Western States have been wondering
what sort of clothing would be most
comfortable during their militry SER
vice at Manila. The Salt Lake TlJ-
J,lae observes that in such cases man
is a great animal to adjust himself to
surrounding conditions. In Manila
the average Of the thermometer for
the year stands at 50 degrees. At
first the people We're ike the Utah
volunteers. They worried good
deal about their clothing, but they
eliminated one garment after another,
until the masses of them are now con-
content with a few feathers in their
hair. All the clothing that the cav
alryman will need to take with him
will be pair Of spurs. He can get
the feathers when he arrives there.

THE West Virginia volunteers are
not falling over themselves to enlist
in the regiment that the politicians at
Charleston have so beautifully Off
cered. We do not blame them, for
the scheme as developed so far is sim
ply plan for the advancement Of Re-
publican politicians. Partisanship is
not patriotism, and a regiment Off
cered by such partisans would not be
very effective.

THE THIN RED LINE.

James Adams, reader of the Family
Herald and Weekly Star In Arbroath.
Scotland, writes us as follows: wish
to call yoiir attention to a mistake in
your description Of one of your prem
ium pictures. You said The Thin Red
Line" represents an incident in the
Peninsular wars. Now, this is not cor
rect. It represents an incident in the
Battle Of Balaclava. one OF the most
spirited and exciting contests Of the
Crimean war, fought on the 25th Octo-
Der, 1854, and the following short ac-
count Of it, written by the correspond
emf OF the London Times. DR.. w. H.
Russell, may be of interest to your
readers: THE Russian cavalry who
have been pursuing the Turks on the
right are coming up to the ridge be-
meath us, which conceals our cavalry
from view. The heavy brigade in ad-
vance Is drawn DIP in two lines. The
first line consists of the Scots Greys,
and of their old companions in glory.
the Enniskillens: the second OF the
4th Royal Irish, Of the 9Th Dragons
Guards, and of the LIST Royal Dragons.
The Light Cavalry Brigade is on their
left, In two lines also. The silence Is
oppressive: one can hear the champ

valley below. The Russians on their
left draw breath for a moment. and
then in one grand line dash at the
Highlanders. The ground flies beneath
their horses feet, gathering speed at
every stride, they dash on towards
that thin red streak topped with line
of steel. The Turks fire volley at
eight hundred yards and run. AS the
Russians come within 600 yards, down
goes that line Of steel in front and out
rings volley of mimic musketry. The
distance is too great; the Russians are
not checked. but still sweep onward
through the smoke, with the whole
force of horse and man, here and there
knocked over by the shot of our bat
teries above. With breathless suspense
every one awaits the bursting of the
wave upon the line of Gaelic rock; but
ere they come within hundred and
fifty yards, another deadly volley
flashes from the levelled rife and car
ries death and terror into the Russians.
They wheel about, open files right and
left, and fly back faster than they
came. Bravo. Highlanders! well
done!' shout the excited spectators;
but events thicken. The Highlanders
and their splendid front are soon for
gotten; men have scarcely a moment
to think of this fact, that the 93rd new
err altered their formation to receive
that tide of horsemen. No. said Sir
Colin Campbell; L did not think it
worth while to form them ever four
deep! The ordinary British line two
deep was quite sufficient to repel the
attack of these Moscovite Cavaliers

When he is to speak at banquet he
frequently makes no more preparation

Champagne fizZ is his stimulant.
No man in America and probably no
