Nostalgia.

"a great many soldiers died Of nos
talgia in the beginning Of the war
What is that, sir?' asked the old
mother, simply. 'Homeslckness," re-
piled the pompous old surgeon, with
something like a tear in his eye: ''the
same malady that attacks the Swiss
soldiers whenever they hear the RAM
des Vaches.'
Yes, that is his pictured face, my dear,
\ soldier of 90, you see,
And only boy; tho the face is scar,
1t is not with age he died, ah. me!
In the flower of youth, neither shot nor
shell
Had harmed hair of his cunning
head:
Ere one of his valorous comrades fell
We heard that our soldier boy was
dead.
No outward visible hurt lie bore.
And the hospital surgeon wrote to say
He had never known such 4 case before
That the boy had faded day by day;
That he often babbled his mothers name
And asked for sister left behind
But never thought of soldier fame
Disturbed the peace of his dying mind
And | knew that my boy was stricken
then
By the deadly aim Of 4 cruel foe.
That he died soldier. rs brave as men
Who into the heat OF battle 90.
When the final reveille bids them meet
On the camping ground beyond the
skies,
My soldier will haste with valorous
feet
Dear Lord, sweet life was my sacri-
fee"

ans, 2.135.1s1 Germans, 2.o1o,s41 slavs. 1.67S.569 Crotians l.052,1SSl Servians. 429.447 Ruthenians and 397,161 of differ ent races. From this computation 1t appears that there are 1O,462,358 non- Magyars, against S,742,302 members of that race. In other words those who are strictly called Hungarian are now in a minority in their own country. al- though forming a larger single racial section than any of the others. But 1t must be obvious to any one that the disorganized majority in Hungary can be anything but well pleased with the often arrogant practices of the Magyars. These latter are anxious that the German language shall not be used in giving orders to such soldiers of the Austro- o-Hungarian army as are furnished by Hungary. They maintain that these soldiers shall have orders given to them only in the Magyar Ian guage. and yet the probabilities are, from the system of general military guage Is just as much foreign to the majority of these Hungarian soldiers as would be the German. This system of race pre- -eminence in absolute disre- gard of the equitable rights of others Is one of the curses of southeastern
 Europe, and threatens. as soon as the death of the present Emperor of Aus tria, to make impossible any reason able and peaceful union of interests
 between nearly a dozen jealous and even hostile races. Under such circum- stances the result would be that that discordant section of Europe would fail to make progress and cease to have influence in the affairs of the world.

DID LITTLE BUSINESS
CABINET DISCUSSED IN DETAIL PARLIAMENTAL ADMINISTRATION.
President Also Discussed With Moody Railway Freight Bill. Legal Phases of Question Being
 Taken UD.

Washington. Dec. 27.-President Roosevelt embraced the opportunity to- day to take up with the members of the Cabinet many questions of detail in parliamental administration, the semi weekly meeting of the Cabinet being longer than usual. At the conclusion of the meeting the members of the Cabinet said that little business of se- rious importance was considered.
 After other members of the Cabinet had left the executive offices, Attor- ney-General Moody discussed with the President some phases of the railroad freight rate question.
 Both the President and the Attorney General recently have devoted much time to that problem. The latter is giving particular attention to the legal side of the question, so that he may be prepared to advise with the Presl- dent on the subject and with such members of Congress may wish to consult him. It Is understood not to be the intention of the President and the AttorneyGeneral to prepare and press the consideration in Congress of an administration measure" deal ing with the railroad freight problem. Such a bill. it Is thought. (to quote a member of the Cabinet) would be des- tined to defeat"
 put the HTeSluent ana the Attorney General. 1t is said. are proceeding on the assumption that the committees of Congress are amply able to prepare their own measure although the Pres ident, in conversation with Senators and Representatives, has presented clearly his own ideas. The Attorney General. too. has discussed the subject with members of Congress.
 At the conference today no definite conclusions were reached.
 Attorney General Moody discussed with the President also some appoint ments in his department. One of these was that of a successor to Francis F Wing. United States District Judge for the Northern District of Ohio, whose resignation has been received and ac- cepted. No explanation Is obtainab ble here of Judge Wings resignation.
 Judge Wing was appointed to his present position on January 23, 1901, at the suggestion of the late Senator Hanna.
 Postmaster General Wynne presented to the President report prepared by the department in response to the res olution of Senator Dubois of Idaho re- garding Postmasters or other postal employees who may be living in polyg- amy
 The report will be transmitted to the Senate when Congress convenes next week. The report finds that there are four Postmasters who have sustained polygamous relations. All these arr at small places, and the relations. it is stated. have not been continued since the passage of the Edmund's law, the offenses having occurred prior to that enactment In view of this fact it has been determined not to take any action in their cases.

-
 There were a great number of Christ mas celebrants in Selma. Many of them are still experiencing life behind prison walls.
 The aftermath was marked in the Police Court this morning. After post poning and mol pressing more than half Q dozen cases, still more than half a dozen were tried, and some were bunch ed.
 Pendant didn't appear. and forfeitures were taken out against his bondsmen. They were notified to appear tomorrow morning and show cause why the for Heiture should not be final.
 The misdemeanors and light offenses were largely among negroes. One was D long drawn out case in which war rants were made out against Lee Cliff lon. Will Wilson. Will White, Tobe Ed wards and Jesse Dickinson. Evidence showed that Will Wilson came near being the victim of a murder at the hands of Lee Clifton. With a pistol in his hands Clifton demanded the pay ment of a gambling debt of long stand ang. He threatened to use the pistol it was said, and was possibly only pre- vented by Wilson. who was alert enough to take the weapon from the drunk negro's hands.
 DlcklHson was alSo accused or nav ing a shotgun and Tobe Edwards of iiourishing a pistol, and the residents in the vicinity of the quarrel were look ing for Christmas imbroglio when the police appeared.
 Mayor Atkins lectured Lee Clifton and assessed a fine of $45. or ninety days on the streets. Jesse Dickinson and Tobe Edwards were each fined $25 or fifty days. Will Wilson, who was nicknamed old Folks" and Will White were discharged.
