It'll be studying pathology and psychology with the end not yet

Fortunately a host of men have been so blessed with health as
to be unconscious that they had any physical organs or mental faculties

Therefore we can boast of knowing many things much better than we
know ourselves. Perhaps it is better so.

divorce alleges that her husband opens champagne by the basket at
roadhouses and requires the aid Of two girls whenever he takes a
drink. The husband IN reply admits he is a good spender and a
game sport, but says he can't keep up with a wife that pays 800 for
a hat. 81 ,400 for a gown and wants $4,000 a year for pin money.
Was there ever a story whose moral was more fluid or ran more
easily? If the man we're willing to use the champagne money for
dresses, or if the woman we're willing to blow the Doodle for booze
instead Of gowns, how happy they could be together! 1t is a pity
two such generous natures should part, but it seems even ritsburg
cannot supply money enough for both.

Meantime the Street Cleaning authorities should profit by the

winter is over. We cannot count upon a succession Of proidential

There is plenty Of labor in New York, plenty Of horses, trucks

The Fight at Princeton, W. Va.

Editor National TRIBUNE: About April
%, 1852, Gen. ]. D. Cox left the Ka-
nawha Valley with a small force OF In
fantry, one battalion of the I'd w. Va.
Cav. and a small Jackass Battery. We
reached Raleigh Court House April 27,
marched by the way of Flat Top Noun
tain and over Blue Stone Mountain to
Princeton, where we had quite little
scrap with the rebels, who burned the
town as they retreated. What troops
did Gen. Cox have with him and what
did they do? have never seen an
account of this raid in print, II.
Gilmore, Middleport, o.
Learning that the enemy under Mar
shall and other Confederate leaders
was advancing to attack his forces in
detail, Gen. Cox ordered the troops
posted at various points to move in
toward a central point. and, taking the
half of each Of the 2Sth, 34th and 37th
Ohio and a section of Simmond's Bat
terry, he started on the march for
Princeton, where he arrived May II.
The enemy retired from Princeton as
he advanced, and took up strong po-
sition on a wooded hill south and west
of the town. Gen. Cox went forward
with the whole of Col. Moore's COM
mand for a sharp attack. There was
spirited fighting for little while, when
the Confederates retired about q mile
to a strong position commanding the
Wytheville and Wyoming roads, where
they had artillery posted. The place
was too difficult to attack with the
forces that Gen. Cox had even after
LIeut.-Col. Won Blessingh came up from
another direction with part of the 37th
Ohio and made the flank attack. 1t
was found that Gen. Williams had
joined Gen. Marshall, making the en-
tire force in front two brigades, which
was double the number that Gen. Cox
had with him. Therefore, he retired to
Princeton, and awaited the arrival of
Gen. Scammon's Brigade. With these
came the information that the brigades
of Gems. Williams, Heth, Marshall and
! Floyd had all united, making a force
estimated by Cox at from 1900 to
$4,000 men. This information deter
mined Gen. Cox to withdraw in order
to protect his trains, which he did
