to stalk them. and no one who has not hunted them can appreciate the Iuii meaning of the expression, "a wild gooss chase"
 Recently. however. Edward karr, Ar thur Luetchford's coachman at Ptttsford. had the good fortune to shoot two of these noble birds. A large flock had set- tied near the farm, apparently exhausted by long flight against the wind, and when approached by the hunter they took wing slowly, and well-aimed shots brought down two fine specimens.
 Further South the geese are hunted systematically and with much success. but in this County only a skillful hunter with great luck on his side can bag one of the birds. They are rarely found in the field or the water. and the thick coat of feathers, that has an even greater commercial value than the flesh. is a suit of armor impenetrable except at close range.

Collection of Pictures.

Among other things. the Departmment wishes to make a full collection of his torlcai pictures of Alabama and Ala bamians. This effort has been already too long delayed. and in consequence many pictures and paintings of value have been destroyed
 The collection is to embrace, as far as possible:
 Life-size oil paintings Of Alabama Fed eral Judges, Governors of Alabama, Jus tices from Alabama on the United States Supreme Court bench, members from Alabama in the Confederate States Cabi- net, all Generals from Alabama in the Confederate States armies. Alabama Bishops, Distinguished political leaders, etc.
 Cabinet photographs for the purpose of making groups u of all commanding officers of Alabama regiments. batteries, etc, @ eminent lawyers of the State, C0 historians. CD poets. G) novelists, tS) scientists, C0 educators. tS) industrial leaders, and t9 the several Constitutional Conventions of Alabama, 1Sl9, 1861, 1865. 1867 and 1875
 All who can supply any of the forego- tng are urged to do so.

The Congressional Program.

Public Opinion.
 Most of the congressional forecasts tel us what our National legislative body should do. Senator Burrows. however has outlined what Congress probably will do. It will reduce the revenue if 1t finds we are accommodating too much money: Il any taxes are reduced they will be the war taxes. New expenditures must bt considered, particularly for the laying ui a Pacific cable and an isthmian cana preliminary provision for the latter pro- ject being probable at the coming ses' sion. As to reciprocity. no arrangement (which does violence to the established principles of the Republican party in this regard will receive favorable action, Something" the Senator was not pre- pared to say what. will be done about trusts Whatever may be said about this program, it can not be called radi- cal

Yellow Yarns About the Alabama
 

XaTTIy
 The hysterical and sensational reports recently published in some of the daily papers of the damage done to the battle ship Alabama during her recent target practice off the Virginia Capes. have practically no foundation of fact. except that the two 13-inch guns of the ship were slightly damaged by the premature explosion of some defective shells. No damage of any consequence was done to the hull of the vessel as reported, and. in fact, we are informed that the ship is now in perfect readiness for her winter cruise and both guns have been repaired and are in excellent shape for imme- diate use. On the whole, as Rear Ad~ miral O'Neil has told our representative in Washington, the entire matter has been grossly exaggerated and an event of little importance has been made the cause for a sensational article.

No. 1S. DEPARTMENT NOTES.
War Records Once More.

Notwithstanding repeated Invitations and requests but few responses in ref erence to Alabama war records have been received. @A
 It is hard to understand why those who have papers will not permit their sts nci,;tary racord. ' sor n,,SIicstion t if has repeatedly urged that the official archives are painfully deficient, and that 1t would be impossible to make a com plete and accurate compilation without help from survivors or their descend ants.
 It Is useless to talk of correcting errors in history when those who helped make 1t will not help compile if.
 Invitation is, therefore. again extended all those who have material to send 1t to the Director of the Department at Montgomery. .up.4 It is also earnestly urged that all er- TOTS in any printed sketches or records in these columns be pointed out. It will be too late after they have been printed in book form

CANTEY'S BRIGADE.
From Perry and Smiths Directory of
 Montgomery, 1866.

For a long time after its advent into the army of Tennessee. this famous brigade was familiarly known as the ''Silver-spoon Brigade on account of the obstinacy of General Maury at Mo bile in keeping It on garrison duty. It was composed at that time of only two regiments. the 17th and 2sth Alabama commanded respectively by Co.'s. V. S. Murphy of Montgomery and J. F. Con foley of Dallas. The 17th fought bravely lat the battle of Shiloh. and over 200 oi its gallant spirits perished on that bloody field. The twoyTegiments reported to General Johnston at Dalton. in March, 1884. with twenty-four hundred men. which was by far the largest brigade in the army at that time
 The first engagement of the 18th was at Resaca on the 12th and 18th of May. In which it lost in killed and wounded

Each Member Wants a Room.


 Dispatch.
 Two years ago twenty eight rooms were built in the terrace section, but these have already been gobbled up and the de mand Is not yet satisfied. The fact is there never will be satisfaction unti each member of the House of Represen- tatives Is provided with a room in which to transact business. The satisfaction then will last only a few minutes. They will want suites of rooms. Senators al have rooms,~either in the Capitol or il the six-story hotel building the Senate acquired few years ago for its owr use. Several Senators have suites ot rooms in the annex. Senator Penrose for instance, has the use of four rooms He Is chairman of the Committee on Inn migration. and nomipally the rooms art for the use of all the members of that committee,
