List of Revolutionary Soldiers.

Our valued correspondent, Miss Marga- ret B. Harvey of Philadelphia. has Kindly copied for this department the list oi Revolutionary soldiers, published m the U. s. Census for 1S40, as then living m Alabama. This list is arranged py couh- ties and the, age of each soldier IS gwen. We hope that these names may aWahen Interest and that descendants of these SOL diers may be induced to join the D; A. R. Society. The age given in lS4O VIII IT. dicate the year of birth, date wnicn is vigorously demanded by the National So- ciety for each application paper. Inere are many ladies eligible to the SoSiely who do not live in towns where Chap- ters are already located; these ladies can become members-at-large by writing tne State Regent, Mrs. J. Morgan smith, whose address Is given above.
 As 1t is probable that a large mag if not all, of these soldiers were ouriso in Alabama, We hope that some or tneir graves may be identified. The state HIS forian. Mrs. P. H. Nell. earnestly re, nuests information about the graves or these soldiers. descriptions of the iocal- ities' copies of inscriptions and any par ticuiars which may be of interest m the lives of each soldier. ,...
 We trust that this list may atuact much attention and that we may receivs many letters giving the information wnicn we so much desire.

sion there was very important case on trial in the Circuit Court at Tuskegee m
 which Judge Rice, Judge Clopton, Gov
 ernor Watts, General Clanton and the late
 Governor Sanford were engaged aDoug
 equally divided on opposing sides. Coi-
 onel Sanford found a case In the su-
 preme Court Reports that fitted his side
 exactly, and he began to read it. Judge
 Rice listened intently and when Colonel
 Sanford concluded he thought he had won his case. He asked the Judge ' ne recognized the decision--saying that st
 was rendered by the Judge when he sat on the Supreme Bench. The Judge wes not at all set back. but scratching hls head little, said: 'Yes. I recognize the decision. but I have learned & great deal of law since then" There was a roar OF laughter and the case went on. the Judge
 winning it before the jury.
 In a convention in; q certain Congress slonaI District of this State. a few years ago, a delegate arose and placed In nom nation the name of q gentleman from another county, and said he, Mfr. Chair man, if one places another in nomination
 Is he bound to vote for him7' The ques- ton was not answered amidst the laugh ter 1t caused.

PAPER AND INK.

 Springfield Republican.
 Papyrus supposed by many to be an
 extinct plant, nevertheless does exist ir
 some of the lake margins of Lower Egypt, and occasionally is found else-
 where. as. for example, in inc Iameus fountain of Arethuso, in Sicily. WhefheH this be the real papyrus antiqnorums from which the paper of Egypt ana Greece was made, or the papyrus coryIn- bosus, abundant in India. and used for
 mats. is not so sure. But why should not the papyrus be aded to our paper stock
 resources? It could probably be comes- ticated in Florida swamps and I.onisiana bayous Moreover. 1t might be planted m the vast marshes of the Amazon systen1- Something must be done to insure the con-
 stant supply of paper; the forests or forever, under the drain of the pulp millss and attention should he turned to the
 rank marsh grasses and sedges, among
 which there must be many which are ea-
 pablo of use, and so of cultivation. le
 may be a mistake to drain and bury al1
 our marshes, even in the North; and the
 apparently irreclaimabie Gulf tnletss

 pyrus. The papyri that are found ara

 but it Is possible that the resources os
 all events, why is it not worth trying?
 There is also a fortune waiting for tha man who can make good ink. A good many skilled chemists have devoted their lives to the problem. which seems almost as impossible of solution as the philosophers stone or the squarlng of the circle. The trouble is that the demands of modern life are many and iucompati- ble. 1t is easy to make an ink that will flow easily. or an ink that has good colors or an ink that is indellible, but the dif1- eulty comes in getting all these qual-' ities at once. The most usual compro- mise is found in the various fcommercial writins fluids" which are somewhat more | pronounced than pure water, but not enough so to entitle them to be called ink "Commercial writing fluid" Is the right term. It is still possible to ger a good black ink if one knows where te look for 1t, an ink solid and emphatic and
 without that detestable glossy shine which
 most genuine black inks have. Music copyists and others who must have
 strong and positive ink have their own secret sources of supply, obscure stores
 where q few bottles of the real thing are still to be had black as a ravens featn- CT and warranted not to shine at any angle and never to fade. But such inks do not it In with modern convenenceS@ They do not consort with the fountain pen, and 1t is difficult to keep them from spelling when exposed to the air, Wnae is wanted is an ink of this sort with | the modern virtues added. and atter a1 l the problem ought not to DC So much harder to solve than wireless telesfaphya | say, or x-ray photography.
