Decline in Martial Spirit.

The Alexandra Light Infantry went
out on Thursday for their annual en-
csmpment, marching through the streets
of the city With less than forty men.
This leads the Alexandria Gazette TO
remark on the decline of the patriotic,
or at least the marital, spirit. This
company, with their ranks, is the only
military organization in the city at
the present time, whereas IN 1850, Just
before the breaking oat OF The civ'l
war majority OF the able-bodied
men and youths of the city were SOL
diers. There were FIVE infantry COM
psnies, one artillery. and'one cavalry,
each company having fu i ranks. Ooe
of these companies. "fhe Alexandfla
Riflemen," commanded by Capt Nor
ton Marye, WAS the FIRST military con-
pany to arrive at Harper's Ferry on
the occasion of the John Brown RAID
10 November, 1859; aud WAS one Of the
TWO companies sent by Longstreet,
under command Of Captain Marye,
across Bull Run, at Blackbprn's Ford
ON the 18th of July, 1861, to capture the
battery Of artillery thrown forward by
Mcdowell on his advance to First Ma
passas. which occurred three DAYS later.
All Of these Alexandria companies took
an active part in the Confederate var
but The artillery company commanded by

recent copious rains aud hot waves have
produced large crops of weeds which

Cure for Neuralgia.

A simpls method of curins facial neu'
rslgia is given 10 the Indian Review. II
the neuralgia is 10 the right side OF the
face the left hand should be placed in a
basin Of ,ater as hot as can be borue.
Or if neuralgia il in The left side OF the
face then the right hand should be pl iced
in tie hot water Ii is asserted that 10
this way rellet may be obtained in less
than Ave minuies The explanation is
that the two nerves which have the
greatest number OF lscIle nerve BINDINGS
are the fifth and the medsn nerve. As
the 6bres of these two nerves cross any
impulse conveyed to the sit hand
will affect the right side Of the face. or II
applied to the right hand will affect the
leti side of the face. Thisis on account OF
the crossing the cords.
