Walkers Filfbusters,

John P. Reinhardt, of Jersey City,
having seen an article on Walkers Fill
busters, his memories are awakened. In
the Spring of 1855 he shipped from San
Francisco in Mexican brig with 200
of those filibusters for Acapulco, but
before they got beyond Sausalito the
brig sprung a leak, and after pumping
on her for two days she had to be
brought back to port, but he made 800
by the run, because she ran from port
to port. In 1857 for while he was on
the brig Roanoke, making a trial trip.
They took on board the balance of the
about 400 of them. They looked like
the men he afterwards saw come out
of AndersOnville, and then reported
that Walker had been hung to the
yardarm of an English sloop-of-war in
Lake Nicaragua.
Golfers Weekly says that he was
executed by the Nicaraguans, and was
considered the greatest warrior of that
age, more so by the Shareholders whose
dream was extension of slavery into
Mexico and Central America. At the
Inauguration of Buchanan Comrade
Reinhardt belonged to the Water
Witch, carrying ammunition to the
Norfolk Navy Yard. He did not dream
at that time that it was part of the
South'S preparations for the war.
The First Lieutenant OF the ship was
named Lowell, and was very strict in
furnishing men when they got drunk.
Lowell, who was afterwards prominent
in the rebel army. had a man triced up
until his toes barely touched the deck.
Comrade Reinhardt gave the poor fel-
low drink of water. for which Lowell
put him in double irons.

Reform Spelling.

Editor National Tribune: am pleased
to notice that The National Tribune has
adopted some of the reform" SPELL
ing-such words as tho, thru, etc.-but
1 wish you might adopt all of the words
recommended by the American Philo-
logical Association. If you cannot, why
not adopt all of those recommended by
President Roosevelt? 1t would be a
great advance to use ''t'' for led" in
such words as mixed, and "f'' for ''ph''
in such words as sulphur. The Stand,
ard Dictionary uses the latter spelling,
SO 1t already has authority.
I have vainly hoped for many years
that a thoroly phonetic alphabet ano
spelling might become in use, but there
is so much opposition to such a radical
change that probably the language will
have to be changed ;'ttle by little. So
I am glad that the old National Trib-
une is adding it's great influence by
using a few words spelled in the new,
shorter and better way. have been a

This touched his patriotism, and his
Scotch-Irish blood began to warm up.
