BUCKLEY IS PLEASED
P0sTHfAsTER LAVISH IN PRAISE OF
 HIS SUCCESSOR.
Mir. DimrmicE< Declines to Discuss Ap- pofntment Until 1t is Confirmed --J. M. Savage May he His
 As&istant.

Postmaster c. W. Buckley yesterday expressed great pleasure at the ap- pointment by President Roosevelt of Joseph P. Dimmick to be his success or.
 Politics had little to do with the appointment of Mir. Dimmick," said Postmaster Buckley. Tt goes with out saying that a Republican admin istration would want a Republican ap- pointed to the postofice in the Capitol City of Alabama, the centre of politi- cal influences of the State.
 Tt has been the uniform policy of the Postmaster General to appoint postmasters who are acceptable to the community where the office is To- cated. These two objects were ob- tained in the appointment of MT. Dim mick. He comes of Republican stock. Thirty-seven years ago. asked in person, General Grant. then President, to appoint his father, Capt. J. W. Dim- mick. postmaster here. It was done. and the city had an efficient and high ly satisfactory postal service.
 The son of Captain Dimmick no doubt will be highly acceptable in ev- cry way to the people of Montgomery. Why not? The young man was born and reared in this city. He knows the people and their environment. Hon. est, capable. industrious. of liberal ed- ucation, a graduate of Harvard Col iege--and Harvard is name to con- jure with in this administration,---how can he be otherwise than acceptable7
 Steps leading up to his appointment were taken several days ago in Wash ington. Figuratively speaking the Saturday afternoon last at 5 o'clock the string was pulled here and the follow ing Monday morning the appointment was made.
 Tt is without regret that lay of the burden of official responsibility which was growing heavier and heav- fer as age came creeping on. It Is with feelings of pleasure that I now place the responsibility upon one whose Is pure. and whose unchangeable pur- pose Is to give the people of Mont gomery the best possible service in his power"
 Judge Buckley may engage in busi- ness in Montgomery and he may re- tire from active life as 1t is well known that he has a comfortable income.
 Speculation is rife as to who will be the Assistant Postmaster. He is the one person employed at the postofflce who is appointed by the postmaster, the other attaches being in the civil service As this appointment is pure ly a personal one 1t has been sugges- ted that John M. Savage. Money Or der Clerk at the postoffice. may be selected by Mir. Dimmick, as his assis- tant. Mir Savage Is kinsman of the nostmaster-to-b He has been em- p1oyed at the postoffice sometime and is regarded as man of exceptional ability.
 MT. Dimmick has declined to dis cuss the appointment or his future course. He holds that he is not post master of Montgomery until the ap- rojntment is confirmed by the Senate. frntil that Is done he has nothing to say of his new office.

FLAG or ssrH.
TaftcSed Dannef ef AInbama Re&iment
 iu etatess Archives.

TafteYed Dannef ef AInbama Re&insent
 iu etatess Archives.
 After remaining in the possession of private parties since the close of the war between the states. the tattered fIae of the ssth Alabama Regiment, c. q A.. was yesterday sent to the State Department of Archives and History. and deposited with the war relics of the slate.
 More than forty years have passed since ths surrender of the 5Sth Ala bama in Meridian. Miss. yet the stand. ard of the famed regiment, barring a few tatters. and the coloring of age. Is in good condition. and presumably as fresh as on the day 1t was hidden from the Federal troops and carried safely from the field by its bearer.
 The history of the old flag since the war has been one of unusual interest. When the command finally surrendered at the close of the conflict, the color bearer. ]. L. Freeman, tore 1t from it's san and hid 1t in his boots For e number of years 1t was lost sight of, but finally was heard from in Indiana, whfther Mir. Freeman had gone after the war. By him 1t was sent to Lieut.. Col. John W. Inzer of the 5Sth at Ash viIfe.
 To secure the flag for the State Ar- chives has long been an object of in- terest to State Historian Thomas sr Owen. Several requests have beer rnaes that 1t be turned over to the State, ard yesterday Colonel Inser brought ie to the Capitol.
 The commanding officer of the 5sth Alabama was Colonel Bush Jones of Uniontow1. Its Major was H. J. Thorn ton of Greene County. The regiment absorbed in November, 1883, the 36th Alabama. but retained It's own officers. It was mustered out at the time of the surrender.

Lieut.. Gov. Cunningham Filling Many
 Enwagements.
 Dr. Cunningham spoke at several points in North Alabama last week. On Monday last he spoke at Rockford in Coosa County Yesterday he was at sylacauga in Talladega County. Today he will be at Eufaula In Barbour Coun- ty. Tomorrow as per announcements elsewhere in The Advertiser he will speak at four places in Dale County, Friday at Hartford and Geneva in Ge- neva: Saturday at Dothan in Houston County and Headland in Henry County. It must be admitted that this will be a weak of pretty strenuous work.
 He opens next week with speech at Abbeville, fin Henry County. and per- haps some other point In that county. On Wednesday. June 9th. he will de- liver an address at the laying of a corner stone of | Jewish synagogue at Mobile. Saturday he will speak at Guntersville and at Albertville, away up in Marshall County.
 pr. Cunningham has already visited twenty-nine counties in the State. and has made forty-four addresses during the past four months.
 Including his engagement at Selma on June 14 Mir. Conner has. made a large nuInber of appointments in different parts of the State. to be filled during the next two or three weeks. He is meeting with good crowds and receiv- ing great encouragement at every point he visits.

household xoods. wlyes sistsr

household goods, wives, sisters. mothers and babies rode in the osna- burg-sheeted prairie schooners or what soever wheeled conveyance tke emil grant could secure. up from ancient top bugies to new conestogas, while the men rode their horses or mules or trudged beside the caravans. A his- toric party of five Frenchmen pushed a hand wagon from the Missouri to the coast. and one man trundled his possessions in q wheelbarrow. At it's best, it was an itinerary untranslata- ble to the present generation; at its worst. with Indian massacres. thirsts, snows. "tenderfootedness" and disease. 1t was one of the ghastiiest highways in history. The worst chapter of can nibalism in our national record was that of the Donner party. showed in from November to March. 1s49-lS50. in the Sierra Nevada. In the fifties the Asiatic cholera crawled in upon the plains. and like a gray wolf followed the wagon trains from the River" to the Rockies. Tn the height of the mi- grafton from 4.0oo to 5000 immigrants died of this pestilence.

Tnld of Professor .onrta.

Mime. Curie has explained an incident in the life of her her late husband. He had the distinction of refusing the red ribbon of the legion of honor. Ills reason was a matter of speculation. One insinuation was that the great chemist had a grievance that bis wife was not decorated with him: an other still less plausible, was that he did not care to accept decoration which had never been conferred upon his father. Mme. Curie writes quietly to observe that all this Is purely fantastic. M. curie had settled conviction that personal decorations were onen to objections that outweighed their advantages and to her great Joy as sharing his opinion he acted up to 1t in his own case He had declined academic distinction befnre AAaiiAis= thA LARinn of Honor-
