His Reply.

My Darling Miliie: Your letter of
yesterday has made me the happiest
man in the entire universe. You dear,
precious little goose. What made you
ever imagine l was engaged to my
cousin May? l am sure l never told
anyone so, and am at loss to know
how the rumor ever started. She has
been very kind to me, it is true, dur
ing the past few months. and has done
her best to console me for the neglect
of-well, of others; but 1t has all been
done in a sisterly, or rather cousinly
way, and there has never been even
the reinotest thought of marriage be-
tween us.
On the contrary, Cousin May tbless
her wise little noddle!) has been con-
stantly urging me to go 20 you for an
explanation as to why received no
invitation to your party, saying she

GREEK SPELLING MATCH.
lads" Win in the Contest at Whit.
man College.

one OF the most unique contests ever
held at Whitman was the Greek SPELL
ing match which took place in Pro-
fessor Anderson's room yesterday
morning. The beginning Greek class
is composed OF both college and acad-
envy students. Six representatives
from each championed their respective
sides. The contest consisted of two
parts, one to spell the words in Greek
and the other to give the English
meaning. The "cads'' won out in both
by narrow margin. GaiuS Green
slade stood up longest for the college
and ARA Willis and Miss Fowler for
the academy. BY such contests as
these and his great enthusiasm Pro-
feSSor Anderson makes the study of
Greek, ordinarily very dry one, the
most interesting TO students of any in
the course.

March T. 1864, which runs after this
wise:
lou are too young to remember the
scandal which attended the commence
ment OF Lincoln's second term when q
man was inaugurated vice-president Of
the United States, while in a condition
OF maudlln intoxication. The man WAS
Ahoy Johnson, who became president
after Llncoln's assassination. The
spectacle which Johnson made of him.
sell at mat time was looked upon as
a national disgrace, and the older gen.
GRAFTON will recall the storm which if
raised throughout the country. The in
finite disgust and humiliation of the
republicans who had elected him and
the derlslve joy Of the democrats whom
he had deserted on the war issue NAV
be imagined. Columns have been
written concerning the incident. but
the true story has never been printed,
and am going to give it to you.
johnson was military governor of
Tennessee when the republicans nomi-
mated him for vice-presilent with Lin
coin. He had left the democratic party
at the commencement of the civil war,
and was cordially hated by the south,
but very popular in the north At the
time of the inauguration he was conva-
descent from a severe siege of typnOid
fever and he went to Washington for
the inaugural ceremonies against the
advice of MS physicians. When they
told him he must not go he answered
by saying that he had been chosen to
the high office by the people and his
duty to them made it imperative that
he be present to take the GA tn of office
in the regular way. SO he came a few
days before the 4tn of March, still weak
and unsteady from his illness.
johnson was very we'll known in
Washington. He had been senator
for years and was a very approachable
man. In consequence of this he was
besieged with callers at his hotel and
the strain almost brought on relapse.
Il was personally acquainted with
him and am certain he was not q
drunkard, as is commonly believed. He
occasionally took a drink and at times
was convivial 1t is mistaken notion,
however, that he was habitually under
the influence of liquor. During the
few days prior to the inauguration he
took a large quantity of stimulants on
the advice of his physicians for the
purpose of keeping up for the trying
ceremonies.
ION the day of the inauguration he
was escorted according to custom, to

BATTLEFIELD OF BULL
RUN BE SCENE OF MILL
TARY MANEUVERS.
Thirty Thousand Troops Will Be Given
Practical illustrations in Fight
ina Next Month.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 1S.-The
third battle of Bull Run is to be
fought out on the historic Virginia field
early in September. Thirty thousand
troops, regulars and state militia,
drawn from practically every state east
of the Mississippi river, will assemble
at two camps, one at Manassas and the
other at Thoroughfare, and on the
fields intervening, will engage in COM
bat during a period of five days.
The Manassas maneuvers are to be
the most elaborate of any yet planned
for the militia and regular troops. More
men are to be assembled than have
ever before been brought together for
a similar purpose, and the plan of
mimic warfare is more extensive and
more intricate than ever before at
tempted The actual maneuvers will
extend from September 5 to 10, but the
troops are expected to assemble in ad-
vance of the maneuvers and to remain
in camp some time after the sham en-
gagementS are over.
