in retirement and the third Gen. Sam
uel G. French, lives at Pensacola, Fla,

fairs Gen. French won his spurs in the
Mexican war. Though. native of New
Jersey, he cast in his lot with the South
when the rebellion broke out, and he
was one of the few men of Northern
birth to win high rank in the rebel
army, eventually becoming a Major
General. 1t was Gen. French who COM
manded the Confederates on the night
attack on the Army of the Potomac at
Harrison's Landing, when the Federals
were thrown into much confusion. He
planned and directed the construction
Of the defenses around Petersburg, and
took part in many of the hardest

At the Volcanoes Crater.

A party Of Americans touring in
Mexico recently accomplished the un-
usual feat Of ascending to the edge of
the crater Of Mount Popocatapetl, the
famous volcano Of the North American
continent. A member Of the party in
describing the trip says the crater is a
marvel and well worth hard journey
to see. "a huge and gloomy pit it is"
he says, 'its steep sides emitting sui
phurous smoke and fumes, and it's per-
pendicular walls descending, it is said,
to a depth of 1900 feet. At the bottom
is a small lake of emerald green, sur
rounded by volcanic rocks and deposits
of sulphur At the top there is ledge
of rock at the crater's edge, from which
we made our observations of the crater
and upon which we were photographed.
| did not observe any difficulty in
breathing or any noticeable increase Of
heart action, but several members of
the party were painting painfully and
were hardly able to speak. One Of my
comrades told me that he could feel
his heart beat through his coat and
sweater. The temperature was very
cold, but it seemed to be modified some
what by the natural warmth of the era
ter and we were protected against the
icy wind outside"

No doubt it is a mere coincidence,
and yet some people might suppose
that the President had a superstitious
preference for monosyllables in choos-
ing members of his cabinet. There have
been in all fifteen heads of the eight
departments. Look at this array Of
names: Day, Hay, Gage, Long, Root,
Knox, Bliss, Smith and Griggs. Then
there were Gary and Alger, whose
names were short, but not monosylla-
bic. Seventy-six letters suffice for the
Burnarnes of all the fifteen cabinet Off
GERS, or almost exactly five letters to a
name

AT last there appears to be a cheer
Ing prospect that the West Point hazing
scandal may be wiped out. The re-
cent commotion in the National Mill
larry Academy is an outgrowth. of the
Congressional Investigations, when
Congress decided to bar the practice
and certain cadets were subjected to
admonition and punishment. At the
time 1t was supposed that the incident
was closed, but it appears that some
Of the cadets felt it to be in order for
them to assert themselves in a final
protest. When Colonel Mills, follow
ing the Congressional instructions, I'M
dertook to discipline one of them for
hazing a lower-class man they revolted.
After incidentally training a gun on
the house of the commandant rs a
slight token of their disesteem they
set to work to secure his dismissal.
If there had been any doubt as to the
Justice Of the Congressional verdict on
the hazers it is removed by the facts
OF this case. Young soldiers may be

Natalie, mother of the young king. Al
though very much older than he, she
won his love and was married to him
In spite of the fact that Natalie and
Milan resorted to no end of intrigue to
stop him, and in spite of the fact that
his parliament threatened to revolt.
The car finally consented and the for
mer maid took her place on the throne
which her former mistress had occu-
pied. Draga is said to be so unpopular
In Seryia that she does not like to ap-
pear in public. Her influence over
young Alexander is all powerful, and
thus far she has won in all her con-
tests with the people. Her father was
colonel in the Russian army, and
through his influence she was given her
place at the court of Queen Natalie.

A wealthy and cultured American,
prominent in social and literary circles,
lately died in England, where he. had
resided for thirty years. Since his first
week abroad he had never dined at an
Englishman's table. At his first din
ner-party in London his host made a
sighting reference to the United
States, which his guest, as a guest,
could not resent. Upon the spot he
resolved never to accept an invitation
where such another affront might be
put upon his patriotism. For the an
tithesis to this act, cross the channel
to Paris. An Austrian archduke, visit
Ing in that city, offended a Frenchman,
who later, in a drawing-room, trod on
his foot. The archduke took out his
handkerchief, brushed the dust from his
shoe and remarked aloud to his host,
what an awkward person that is!'
The archduke was too highly placed In
Europe to acknowledge the possibility
Of intentional insult. One would need
to go far to find two more comprehen-
sive Illustrations Of an unhappy but not
tnfreQuent phase of social life. Some
persons wound others Intentionally,
some unwittingly. Shall one therefore
60 through life avoiding all society lest
perchance ones sensibilities be hurt ?
Or shall one be blind toward even in
tended rudeness and Live it DOWN.

mud, the dignified thing for the pedes-
trian is to walk on unheeding.

their welfare, but soldier, young or
old, is first of all obedient. In their
conduct toward Colonel Mills the ca
diets were not only disobedient bat mu-
tinous. It is impossible to believe
that boys who are permitted to rebel
against the orders of their superior Of
dcer will be likely to grow into men
who can be relied upon for obedience
when severer duties are to be required.
The expulsion of several of the cadets,
with the suspension Of others, ought to
bring this lesson home in way that
the unruliest student will understand.
When Rev. George D. Heron and
Miss Carrie Rand were married in New
York the other night they uttered spir-
itual beliefs that are dangerous to the
continuity of our social and moral es-
adjustments, says the Chicago Jour
nal. In the interests of good order and
a higher sense of responsibility on the
part of. civilized humanity, the mar
rage custom has evolved from a sim
pie, savage rite to one that carries
deep obligation and is interlfnked with
sacramento solemnity that makes it
strikingly impressive. There are civil
and religious marriages, but both have
legal sanction. They constitute con-
tracts that cannot be easily abrogated,
and the entire thought of those who
framed our laws was to throw the
ton. Statutes have been enacted that
severely punish the man or woman
who enters the connubial state and
then proves false to the sacred VOWS
If there were no restraint, the family
| that inhabits the earth would be illegit-
| shameless-mere tribes that would
prey upon each other in the most bar
barous manner. A positive union Of
souls Is beautifully sentimental DR..
| Heron and Miss Rand assert that they
have discovered between themselves
love that is abiding and harmonious,
| love that is so strong and everlasting
that no words of priest or prelate are
needed to cement it, and that all they
should be coerced into doing is max
ing an announcement Of the fact. The
law of the land, prescribing certain
| formalities they declare pestiferous
and unnecessary, and begrudgingly
| comply with it. Prof. Heron must
| have performed a few mental gym
nastics since he led his first wife to
the altar. He gave her his love, and
| two children were born to them be-
| fore he deserted her for Miss Rand.
If his soul-merging system is infallible
| why did he transfer his affections?
! Would he advise every man to leave
his wife as soon as he ascertained
that the original physical love was
not capable of being ripened into the
| higher spiritual love? Would he urge
a practice requiring nothing more
| obligatory than Il take this woman
to be my companion" or II take this
man TO be my companion" Simpli-
| fed his teaching amounts to nothing
more. 1t panders to the vicious in
stincts Of the brute IL man and if in
vogue would bring innumerable i'm
moralities in it's train. Society is we'll

cient and honorable customs which

and his bride should be Stunned by re-
! spectability.
