The Confederates Lost Opportunity
 After Ball Run.
 The enemy were routed Jackson saw their demoralizaUon and felt that if rapidly followed up it would spread and might involve the capital itself And every soldier should have seen in 1t at least a good chance to cut off and capture many thousands of fugi lives retreating by long and round about roads.
 There was little effort worthy of the name even to do this. Our small bod ies of cavalry did their best and cap tured about as many prisoners as they could handle In all ST1 unwounded were taken. But to fully improve such an opportunity not moment shoula have been lost. At the occurrence of the panic all the troops best situated to cut the line of retreat should have been put in motlc2, No! only staff officers, but generals themselves, should i13Ve followed up to inspire and urge pursuit. The motto of our army here would seem to have been, Build bridge of gold for a flying enemy"
 jackson's offer to take Washington city the next morning with 5000 men had been made to the president as he arrived upon the field probably about 5 o'clock. It was not sunset until 715, and there was nearly full moon. But the president himself and both gener- als spent these precious hours in riding over the field where the conflict had taken place. Doubtless it was an inter- esting study, the dead and badly wounded of both sides being mostly where they had fallen, but it was not war to pause at that moment to con slider it. One of the generals, Beaure- gard, for instance, should have crossed Bull Run at Balls ford or Stone bridge with all the troops in that vicinity and should have pushed the pursuit all night. Johnston should have galloped rapidly back to Mitchell's ford and have marched thence on Centerville with Bonham, Longstreet and Jones, who had not been engaged. No hard fighting would have been needed. A threat upon either flank would doubt less have been sufficient, and when once a retreat from Centerville was started even blank yolleys fired behind i it would have soon converted it into a panic General E.

A German Welcome Home.

In Germany it is the custom to make
 much of the return of any members of the family even after U short absence
 Should the house or fiat have been shut up and only put in order for the returning owners by a humble char woman she will never be so negligent of a kindly custom as to omit deco rating the front door with greenery and the word Welcome" in large let terS. An American woman who hap pened to be staying in German par sOnage when the head of the house re- turned from Marienbad. where he had been making the cure. says that the occasion was like the return of much loved prodigal or conquering hero from far country. For days before hand the "frau pastor" and her daugh- ter were busy making preparations, and the two rosy checked servants helped with right good will. The fat ted calf, or it's German equivalent, was killed, and not only the front door, but every door opening from the entrance hall, was garlanded. A little later the student son returned from Berlin for his vacation, and again feasting and garlanded dOorwayS were the order of the day.-New York Tribune

Mexican MusleIaLA

We were listening to the playing of a military band the other night when my friend said: Do you know that, al though l have heard just about all of the best orchestras and bands in this country at different times, have not discovered a single one that can hold a candle to Mexican musicians? Those fellows are something wonderful, all full of music, and, although half of them cannot read the language of their country, they read the music and get notes from their instruments that would really astonish you.

In camp for true comfort your under wear should be of wool 1 know that a great deal has been printed against 1t, and great many hygienic princi- ples are invoked to prove that linen, cotton or silk is better but experience with all of them merely leads back to the starting point, If one were certain never to sweat freely and never to get wet, the theories might hold, but once let linen or cotton or silk undergar mentS get thoroughly mOistened and the first chilly wind is your undong. You will shiver and shake before the hottest fire, and nothing short of complete change and rubdown will do you any good. Now of course, in the wilderness you expect to undergo extremes of temperature and occasion ally to pass unprotected through rainstorm or d stream.

CAN'T LIVE ON TWo-cENT FARE.
Louisville G. NashvilIe's Reply to
Tennessee Committee.
to the Nashville Banner.

Special to the Nashville Banner.
Louisville, KY, Feb. 2S.-"The
Louisville & Nashville railroad can
not live and do business in the State
of Tennessee on a 2-cent passenger
rate" declared Charles L. Stone, gen
eral passenger agent of the company,
at last nights session of the special
joint legislative committee of the
Tennessee general assembly appoint
ed to inquire into the matter of pas
senger rates in the state in connec--
ton with the bill pending before the
legislature to reduce the rate from
to cents per mile.
II can't imagine for moment that the
Tennessee legislature or any other
legislature would compel the Louis
vile & Nashville railroad or any other
railroad to adopt a 2-cent passenger
schedule thing that assuredly
would not conserve the interests Of
the state or of it's people"
Some Less Than Three Cents.
Mr.. Stone was asked If the COM
pany did not have a short-line rule,
for instance, between Nashville
and Clarksville, where the passenger
rate was about cents a mile. He
replied that round-trip ticket was
sold between those points for $40 for
the sixty-one miles. The answer
brought the question as to whether
the company did not have other short
line rates, and Mr.. Stone replied that
it had too many to remember. Family
tickets, school tickets, interchangea-
BILE mileage tickets and others were
then discussed, and it was admitted
by Mr.. Stone that the company re-
ceived less than cents a mile for
them. The interchangeable mileage
issued by the company, he said, was
good over 32,500 miles of railroad, and
cost IL cents per mile.
Mr.. Becker testified that no separ-
ate accounts of freight and passen-
ger earnings are kept by the L. & N.
and he could not say whether the pas
senger business is conducted at
profit or loss. There was no way Of
estimating comparative value Of
freight and passenger rolling stock.
Last years report showed net earn
ings per mile from all sources of
$773.37. The road received "a cents
per mile for each passenger carried.
For Tennessee to cut the rate from 3
to cents would mean a reduction in
earnings of from $4,000 to $4,000 a
month, he thought. The road sells
about thirty thousand tickets a day.
Mr.. Becker said he did not think
abolition Of passes would increase
revenues, as SO per cent ofrthe people
who ride on passes will quit riding,
if they have to pay. He did not think
the reduction in rates would
increase travel sufficiently to
help revenues. He said the amount
of travel depends on the population
of territory, and that in the east you
can see 500 church steeples from
mountain top, whereas you can see
about ten from Lookout Mountain.
Controller Charles Hayden was the
next witness. The investigation will
continue throughout Tomorrow, and
Chairman G. G. McCord, of the Ken
lucky railroad commission will be
witness.

WAYS OF THE LOBBYIST.


The successful lobbyist is born, not
made. His essential characteristic is
native, inherent diabolism that can
not be acquired. He is Mephisto-
pheles incarnate. His blood runs cold
and his heart never beats quick. Ap-
pealing to the sybarite in others, he
is himself an ascetic. He plies the
arts of the panderer, but is not stirred
with the lust of the ibertine. Pro-
viding for his victims every pleasure
of the sense, he shares in none. His
enjoyments are all of the mind and his
revelries in thoughts of how he has
debased his fellow men. All the po-
etry of life for him is summed up in
the one grand epic-"The Fall of
Man" His supreme article of faith
is original sin, and his single labor of
love to illustrate it's eficiency-St.
Louis Republic.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Conferees on

wants. He has made his headquarters

1t is not altogether unprecedented
