No stronger or better evidence can

the two homesteads, and built house,

since enlarged some of these build

excellent start was made, stout fox

Faster and faster went the fox and
the hounds after him, until the quarry
made straight for the cliff. The mas

Only Three Hundred.

Mexico, Mo-, Sept. %. - Of the
10000 men who fell in the line at
the bugle call when this city last
entertained the State reunion of
Confederate veterans twenty-five
years ago, to-day there survives a
struggling band of old men. scarce
ly 800 strong.
When the last Confederate re-
union was held here, corps of we'll
drilled soldiers, zouaves and cavalry
paroled the streets. Upon every
vacant lot and even in the road
ways there were tents for the &C.
cOmmOdation of the visitor.
When the roll was called this
morning there was not enough Of
the veterans to form three compan'
les. Most of them were bearded
hoary-headed men who bore the
soaring marks of the bullet wounds
and the infirmities of advanced age
Mexico hotels were amply able t.
care for them.
