TIE Doth L. S. Vols, which has just
been discharged at San Francisco, was
mainly made up of Georgians. with some
from Alabama and Mississippi. 1t was
organized at Fort Mcpherson, and went to
the Philippines with 80 officers and 30S
men. 1t was given very lively service for
eight months, and took part in several
battles, in which it showed fine soldierly
qualities. 1t had IA men killed, and only
IS died of sickness. About 16 officers and
19S men decided to remain in the Philip
pines and engage in business there.

GEN. CHAFFEE has most effectualIy
squelched Mr.. Thos f. AIiIlard, a vel
low" writer in one of the magazines. He
shows that Miilard either did not know
what he was talking about, or else de-
liberately lied III his story of the march to
Picking. He certainly was not on the
march, as he represented himself to have
been, but arrived in the country weeks
afterward. Millard's charge that the
American troops participated in the shoot
ing, bayOneting and looting of the natives
is most absolutely untrue. There was far
less of that done than reported, and the
Americans did none. All of the houses
of the people were not burned-fully
three-quarters of them are standing to-
day. Gen. Chaffee is justly severe upon
Millards gross exaggeration of the hard
ships of the march. The march was not
a picnic. Nobody expected that it would
be, and there would be nc credit to the
brave men who made it if it were. Men
do not enlist in the army to go on picnics.
The march 10 Picking was full of hard
ships, which the Americans endured as
gallantly and unc0mplainingly as Ameri-
can soldiers always do. They were quite
as well taken care of as any troops in the
field, and much better than most. Our
Quartermasters and Commissioners
showed splendid efficiency and the men
are entirely satisfied with and proud of
the record made.

THERE was only majority of one in
the Supreme Court, but so it has frequent
ly been in the most important events in
history. One or two of the books included
in the canon of the New Testament only
reached there by majority of cne in the
Ecumenical Councils, and it was the same
with some important doctrines of Christ
ianity, which led to the remark that ''the
Holy Ghost resides in the odd man." This
was applied to the Electoral Commission
in 1876.

JUST now the German agrarians have
dropped the American hog for the Rus

THE mutinous students mt West Point
have received a sharp lesson in the dis
missal Of five of their number and the
suspension for year of six Others The
youngsters are appealing to Washington
for reversal of the sentence, but meet
ing cold comfort from Secretary Root
1t is superlative impudence for overween-
ing hobbledehoys, who are getting their
board and education and life profession
from the people of the United States, to
take it into their heads to run the elee-
mosynary institution to which they are
appointed. The pity is that there were
not more Of them dismissed. There are
plenty of the right kind of boys in the
United States who are ambitious of a mil
itary career, and who would be only too
glad to take their places and Loyalty obey
the regulations of the Academy.

Circus Day.

Yesterday was show day, and the
rising sun found people from all parts
of the country turned toward the city.
Trains poured people into the city
from all roads.
The attraction was Forepaugh &
Sells Bros menagerie and circus.
The show was extremely gratifying
from the fact that there was nothing
in the whole show that was not ele
CANT and refined The menegerie was
complete and the performers in the
circus kept the audience wild-eyed
with astonishment. Every man or
woman was q complete master of his
work.
To mention the various acts one at
time would take too long and lang
uage would fail to express the excel
lence of their performances. The
sea lions seemed to please people
more than any other act. 1t is per-
fectly safe to recommend this show,
as it was undoubtedly the bent in Ma
rietta for some time. Everybody went
and evrybody seemed to enjoy it
completely. The side shows were
equally good. The only weak point
in the whole show was the clowns.
1t is difficult to see how it would be
possible to improve the show.

A Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days, when
as somebody has said, men drop by the
sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had
dawned. They are fraught with dan
ger to people whose systems are poorly
sustained and this leads us to say, in
the interest of the less robust of our
readers, that the full effect of Hoods
Sarsaparilla is such as to suggest the
propriety of calling this medicine some
thing besides a blood purifier and tonic,
say, sustaining diet. 1t makes it
much easier to bear the heat, assures
refreshing sleep. and will without any
doubt avert much sickness at this time
OF year.

'And the nights shall be filled with
music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold up their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away"
Longfelow knew the soothing power
of music; he knew its grand influence
for good. A home without piano or
music of some sort doesn't seem quite
a home: something seems to be wanting.
It's easy enough to have music in the
house nowadays, Pocket your doubts,
