PRIDAT, FEBRUARY 18, 1887.

Govornor P'oraker has ma)e himself poliil with lib constiiuency. He is spoken of for another term snd every boiiy is williDg.

It ia significant thai ail the praiae lavisbetl on "Si. John comes from Demo cratic papers. Tha i»rohiLi!tioniats mav ''niako note on it.

Th-" nvetijCHl collegoa are sending out their nsut'l quota of cewly-Hedged doctors. They arc not so dangerous a class as tluy used to he, sines pii] and potions are ilecreasing in size and virulence, anil there is a disposition (o leave a big part of all cures to "nature."

The whole of Europe ia negotiating loans, collecting army supplies equipping and drilling its soldiers, yet kings and chancellors krep assuring the public that there will be no war. The whole aitua|.tion has few aspects of the "piping times of peace," and a good deal cf "pomp and circumstance." .J -US .L'-

The Mutual District Telegraph company, of New York, iH undoubtedly a hard hearted corporation. The boys in its service struck yesterday, and the strike ia a just one. They receive the princely sum of six ceniu an hour, and if they were ten minuter, late they would ho docked eighteen cents.

All the disgusted Bourbons in this stale—hundreds of 'em—who tiad the role of simple citizen loo dull and slow, are willing to serve ns raiirosd commissioners. But Mr. Cleveland has a poor opiuion of the official ability of the Indiana democrat. [Is will let tho aspiring office-hunter rem*in where he will do tho least harm.

LP. the elaborate reasons set forth by Mr. Cleveland for vetoing the Texas seed distribution bill he says, "The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow citizens iu mi-fortune." Not to any alarming extent if Mr. Cleveland's tweniy-dollar contribution to the Charleston sufferers he takeu as a sample of the ''friendliness and charity of our countrymen.''

There seems to lie as much sensationalism in "popular" sermous, nowadays, as there is iu fiction and the drama. Talraage's subjects are as bad in their way, and as untlavored by religion as the "Mad Murderer of Bloody Gulch," or any cither title of a similar character. A St. Louis preacher has budded out with "Comforting Syllables." All this drivel, compared to the force and simplicity of the "Sermon on the Mount," shows how far we have departed from the faith of cur fathers.

How much freer and happier is the ludiana "boodlei" than bis fellow-bood-lers over in Illinois and Ohio. In these states they are sent to the penitentiary or find secluded and inaccessible hiding places wheie they can keep out of the clutches of the law' We may expect a wholesale emigration, for no other state holds out the inducements, honors and

emolument that Indiana offers all who,

bv means "most foul, help roll up Dem-

filler whose work must b9 classed among the tic* arts. Only the meat coatly materials are used the finishings are silver and gold and the rivets are jewels superior lo those used in first-class Waltham watches. All this has not been explicitly stated, but it is inferred from Ibe fact that hie bill for repairs at fha Cook county institutionc, in six months, footed up to $02,000. The county board want him, that they may present their congratulations, but he is as modest ?s he is artistic, and has hidden himself.

Xe re Haute and Yiu -ennes papers are following the example of this paper in d:BC»ara^icg tha emigration to and the Investment or money iti Western town6 that haven't a tenth of the advantages of those cities nor of Evansville. Xhi-i paper long ago denounced the western aud northwestern emigration craze.— [Evaiisvillo Journal.

NottheTerre Haute papera, but the Terrj Haute Express. The others ssem to have sold themselves lo western boomers, and a a no longer publithed inthe interest of Terre H.uiie.

Tliore are in connection with many saloons iu this city what is known a* "vvtne rooms." These are places, opening from sorae back way or alley,wl.ere designing men take bad women and many very yonng girls to eat, -i rink and bera^rry. I have had occasions to talk to many of these young girlB, some not moro than 12, 18 or 14 years o!dr who hive been brought before me, and nnj appealed to by inotherc and others in chargH of girls to know if there is no way to stop th9 nefarious practice. This is carried on to a greater extent than any oue who has not investigated conld ever believe.

The above ia from Judge Mack's remarks to the grand jury last Monday. The law makes it the duty of the prosecutor to call all persons before the grand jury whom he has cause to believe have knowledge of unlawful acts, or who possess information that may lead to the indictment, of criminals. Tf Jud^e Mick has talked with many of these young girls who have frequented wiiis rooms he most assuredly remembers their names, and his testimony would doubtleps go far towsid convicting, these unprincipled men who are leading young girls to ruin.

A contributor to the Gazette takes upon himself the burden of asking the Express quite a string of questiou "Boom," who, from the cut of his froekj is a "Kacsfss Boomer," improves the G} portunit7 offered him by the Gazett/6 to give a blow to the feeling alive in Terre Haute that the city will enjoy batter times this spring. He asks:

Is the Express guardian of the persons and estates of the citizens of Terre Haute? Is she serving as administrator of the estates of the Kansas investors? Judge Mack had better remove her for not reporting soonor, and appoint a better.

No, the Express is not the guardian of the estates of the ciiizens of Terro Haute but when it sees many worthy people misled by glowing pufis in newspapers, it believes it is time to call a halt.

The Express has no objection io men who have money to "throw at birds" iu vesting for "recreation and pleasurebut it does object to this hoodwinking of men of ordinary means. There are a great many people who rely solely upon ibe newspapers for information, and when newspapers publish the. advertisements of sharks as news matter, with no distinguishing mark, and deceives people, they are aiding and abetting fraud.

As for the other quest ions propounded by "Boom," the Express lias only ono reply to make. He could, with equal consistency, asked why tho Express did oppose the exodus to California in M0, or the revolutionary war. "Boom," it seems, knew where to go to secure the publication of his sneers and insults nt Terre Haute citizens who were so unfortunate as to invest their money in "malted holes" and grassless ranches. TheBO unfortunate investment should be a warnin to others to keep away from the slick western boomers.

An attempt to transport the eye of a living rabbit to a hnman socket in New York has proved a failnre. It 19 well. How would a feltow look anyhow, with such an organ of sight? Arid "Old Habbit Kye," as a term of reproach, would be unbearable.

A negro minstrel advance agent was arrested in ijouisvillo yesterday as a suspect, .ho niistake was not uu nnnat-arnl one, and the jury will doubtless make due allowauce.

The a£Otiy of suspense is over, and Daniel Max niug's accepted resignation is an accomplished fact. "For theso and all thy mercies,' Is now iu order.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., February 17th.

To the Editor of the Express. Your editorial mention in to-day's Express of "the ohicfest humbug of ntt—the sorghum sugar iiumbog— trader the especial patronage of Prof. Wiley, which has cost the government already over $40,000," reiniudB me that this same "Prof. Wiley" is the father of what oalled—by tho American Bee Journal and the bee keeping fraternity in general—the "Wiley lie," i. e., the story concerning the manufacture of comb houey without the Rgeucy of bees This ridiculous iavention, which has appeared in different forms during tho Inst four years in every newepaper in the country, and which is at present so generally believed that moet people, Boeing a fine quality of comb honey, in a store, will ask: "Was this iiiode by the bees?" or "Is it manufactured honev This ridiculous invention, 1 repeat, was sprung npou the public by I jf. H. W. Wiley, late of Pnrdne university, Lafayette, at present of the Agricultural Bureau,Washington, aud, as you are pleased to oall him, patron of the eorghum sugar hnmbng. This man, who hae always been one of the shiefest exponents ef that greatest of all frauds, glucose, has been instrumental in making people believe that most of the beantifnl comb-honey, with which skilled bee keepere at prasent supply our markets, is manufactured entirely without the aid of bees, and is glucose filled into artificial combs, while the fact is there hae aever been a pound of comb honey. produced that way, and that the only way to produce it, is through the agency of that most admirablel little insect, the honey bee. This statement, I know, will be received with •milee of derision by hundreds of your readers, but if yon will give the opportnuity. I will write a series of articles for the Sunday Express in which 1 shall prove all 1 say, and remove from many minds an unreasonable prejudice, on acconnt of which

HERE AND THERE.

There will be several representatives from Terre Haute to the Cincinnati labor convention, which meets in Cincin nati the latter part of the month. The convention will be for the purpose of establishing a new party which will include all organized labor. It will embrace the Knights of Labor, the Trades Assembly, and the farmers. The convention is looked forward to with inteiest. The Knights will be largely repteatnted, also the Trades Assembly. The Greenback element will probably appear in considerable strennth and will, it is said, insist upon the incorporation of some of their ideas It is mere guess-work to attempt to predict w'hat will be the results of the convention, although the K. of L. and other branches of organized labor are hopeful of a harmonious convention. There are, however, several conflicting factions and it will be one of the first efforts of the. convention to harmonize them.

Captain Jason H. Allen of this city, late Knight of Labor candidate for the United States senate, will attend. Mr M. C. Rankin will also be present, representing the K. cf L. and the G. A. The Trades Assembly have not yet elect ed a delegate but it is probable that Mr. Sam Christy will be selected. There will be several others from this city who will attend, not as delegates hut as spec's tors.

The recent foot race has stirred up interest in the city to a wonderful extent. It has thrown a lnrge number of sprinteta of local reputation to the front. In terest in athletic Sports has been revived to the extent that there is talk of the or ganization of an athletic association. There area number who are enthusiastic on the subject and propose to agitate the matter as soon as spring opens. Among the possibilities of the summer is a base ball team. There is considerable local talent in the. city and an effort will be made to revive the national game in Terre Haute. A billiard tournament is talked of in the near future, and it is said several are practicing for it already, one being known as "Charley, the bi!Iiardist."

The Crawfordsville Journal gives space to the following: "General Manson forma the Journal that the probability is that the Terre Haute distillery will not be rebuilt, as matters have not been go ill just as the late proprietors would have them go. The late owners are now drawing about $8,000 per month out of tbepool in which all all the western distillers are members. This draw will he kept up until next May, when the year will be up. The "government employes occupying the positions made necessary b}' the distilling interest will soon all be out of work and tho collections in the district will very materially fall off. If the distillery is not rebuilt this revenue district will fp.ll to one of about the fifth class."

The Indianapolis Journal of yesterday says: "On Tuesday, while Dr. D. P. Keene, of Terre Haute, was coming to this city to attend the G. A. R. encampment, he had occasion to protect, a lady on the Vandalia train from a crazy girl, who was also a passenger. The lady was a stranger to him, and while he was a! the depot, Wednesday afternoon, lie chanced to meet lier again. She mentioned his kindness in protecting her on the day previous, and he in return made some reply, cautioning her to avoid such danger in the future. When he started to walk away, Tim Ford assaulted and knocked him down. He soon learned that the lady with whom he had formed a chance acquaintance was Ford's wife. Fotd was arrested and locked up."

There was considerable delay in procuring a requisition for Johnson, colored, who was arrested in this city, charged with larceny at Danville, 111. The marshal of Danville arrived hero yesterday and left yesterday afternoou for Danville. Johnson was arrested here last week. It appears that he stole some property from a councilman of Danville. In making cut the requisition by some means or other the name of the councilman was subs'iluted for that of Johnson. The mistake was discovered and the delay wen caused in making the necessary correction.

The street commissioner has commenced work on the streets. A force of men was employed Wednesday. The rainy weather has prevented work being done, but as soon as it is favorable let the force of men be "increased and the thoroughfares be given a thorough cleaning. The condition of sidewalks have been improved in many places. Cinders and grave! have been thrown over the mud. While this mav not. make as deBiraole ir walk as brick, it is much more preferable than mud.

In the circuit court docket was entered yesterday, in the case of the state of Indians, ex re.l, Lnlti M. Laman against Levi B. Shank, for which the defendent is charged with bastardy. The parties are residents of Fayette township. Shank has "gathered up his feef'anJ fled f:om the "wrath to come."

THE G. A. R. OFFICERS.

The Rev. Ira .1- Chase Commander— Adoptlou of the Vinsl desolations liecUilng for Pension?. Indianapolis News. 'ij'

Following the reading of the repiotts yesterday afternoon, at the meeting of the department encampment, a number of resolutions were sent to the committee on resolutions, condemning, in tin strongest and most positive Wms, anarchism, nihilism, or any other ism hav ing for its object disorder. A resolution passed, indorsing a state loan, provided a portion cf the money was expended in carrying out the wishes of the soldiers with reference to the orphans' home and the monument. There was also a resolntion authorizing the la dies of the relief corps to meet this morning and perfect anew state organization, and promising support in case excep tiorvj were taken to the national encampmer t. This resolution provoked considerable discossion, and, could the ladies have heard it, there would he no doubt in their minds of the disposition of the comrades to back them up in carrying out he desire to put the relief corps on a more effective basis. The election of officers was made the special order for lti a. KI. to-day.

The encampment reconvenes this morning and business was rushed. The suggestions of the council of administration for the government of the order were accepted. The reports of the officers were approv*d, as also the action relative to encouraging the organization of the Sons of Veterans. In thiB connection comrade Miller, of Terre Haute, reported forty-one organizations in the state, with nearly 2,000 members. Com rade Johnson, of the monumental committee, submitted a report showing a fund of §21,280.50 now on hand and available for the puspose in view.

General Carnahan presented the following, which was adopted: Believing that full justice has not been done to that small class of our comrades known as the totally deaf, in the pension laws of congress, the department of Indiana, G. A. R, do most earnestly request senators and representatives in congress from Indiana, to use their best endeavor to secure the passage of the bill now pending for increasing the pension of the totally deaf comrade to $30 per month.

Commander Bennett offered a resolu tion calling upon senators and represen taiives in congress for the prompt and immediate passage of the soldier's de pending bill over the veto jf the president. Ttiis met with some opposition, but it was finally adopted by a large ma jority.

The committee on pensions reportedsuggesting that G. A. R. posts throughout the state organize county committees, embracing the chairman of each re lief committee, lo meet within thirty days and organize joint committees, whose sole duly will be to look after the old soldiers in county asylums, and urge and demand that Buch inmates shall be cated for at public expense outside the county asylumB, each chairman to report to the department in detail what has been accomplished prior to January 1 1888. 2. That tke Grand Army, a* an organ ization, place itself squarely on record against the so-called anarchists, com munistii and nihilists, whose teachings tend to destroy respect for and obedience to law. 3. Cordially and sincerely approving the organization known as the Sens of Veterans, and that it is the sense of this encampment that this organization should be sustained by every post and aud comrade that the formation of new corps should be encouraged. 4. That every soldier's honorable discharge must become his pension certificate, and the delegates from the department of Indiana are instructed to vote at the next national encampment in favor of measure givifiti every ribldier holding an honorable discarded a pension for life at not less than $8 per month, and more for disabilities incapacitating them from following their usual vocations. o, Requesting the general assembly to p.vs house bill 406. exempting all honorably discharged soldiers, sailors and marines from payment of poll tax and work on public highways 6 Tendering sincere thanks to general assembly for prompt passage of the Soldiers' orphaus home bill, and to Governor ciray for signing the same, and to the department committee which bad untiringly given its bests efforts in se curing the passage of the bill. 7. Instructing the delegates to the national encampment to me their influence toward securing the meeting of the encampment in this city in 1889.

The special order being the election of officers, Comrades I. B. McDonald, Jasper E. Lewis, Geo. W. Milltr, D. C. McCollom and J. 0. Peltier were directed to canvass the vote, and Gil R. Sturmont, Princeton Andrew Fite, New Albany, who is the present senior vice commander the Rev. Ira J. Chase, of Danville Frank Sweigert, of Logans port William B. Daily, of Peru, and John M. Runyan werd placed in nomination for com manders. Mr. Daily, in a neat speech, declined the office in advance. In pre senting Runyan's name, a delegate from Kosciusko county made a spirited speech in his favor, but the greatest applause was manifested when Chase's name was mentioned, and hia election seemed to be a foregone conclusion. A ballot was ordered, which resulted Stormont, 124 Chase. 333 Fite, 23 Runyan, 30, and Sweigert, 34 Black, 1. Total votes cast, 554 necessary to a choice 273. The election of Mr. Chase was accepted by acclamation, and he came forward and was received with cheers. He made a graceful and fitting response in recognition of the honor which had been bestowed upon him.

While the vote for commander was being couuted, a committee, beaded by Comrade Torn llanna, reported having procured a badge, as psr order of last encampment, at a cost of $100, which bad been presented at Past Commander Foster, of Fort Wayne.

The work of the monumental committee, was not ouly approved, but Comrade George W. Johnston, this city, was specially thanked for his work.

A resolution prevailed that Hon. Thomas E. Boyd, of Hamilton, be appointed one of the visitors to the soldiers' orphan home.

A resolution indorsing Comrade John Harrison and the Athens university, of Teunessee, to the various posts of the state.

John A. M. Cox, Indianapolis D. C. Anderson, Huntington William C. Daily, Peru, were placed in nomination for senior vice commander, and the first ballot resulted: Cox, 136 Anderson, 85, and Daily, 241. Before this vote could be announced officially, confirming Comrade Daily as senior vice commander, the encampment adjourned until 1 :80 p. m. sharp.

THE CAMP-FIRB

The camp-fire at Tomlinson hall last night was a glorious success. The immense auditorium, including first floor and gallery, was filled by a crowd of intelligent people, whose hearts were in sympathy with the G. A. R., and the best attention and appreciation was given to the programme, which, barring its length, had but few objectionable features. General Tom Bennett, who has the knack of making evei ybody feel at home, was the presiding officer, The evening opened with prayer by Chaplain Chabe, and then followed "Auld Lang

was honored with a recall. Short addresses followed by Governor Gray, or behalf of the state, and from Mayor Denny, on behalf of the city, both of whom, in their respective lines, extender a cordial welcome to the visiting G. A R. The remainder of the programme included short address by Comrade John W. Linck, cf Columbus Ben L. Smith, of the directory of the soldiers' orphan home General James Garnaham, who gave five minutes very effectively to the memory of Indiana's dead and the need of a monument !o cominorate their deeds Hon. John R. Ousham, of Msd ison, and General M. D. Manson, who was introduced by the irrepressible Bennett as the hero of* two wars, and who would have been in the war of the revolution had hf been old enough, and who was certuin to ba in the next war if living General Manson accepted this raillery in the spirit in which it WW given, and retorted in good style by showing that he was represented in the revolutionary war by his grandfathei, and in the war of 1S14 by his father, and still he wanted to impress upon the audience that he was not by long odds the oldest man it belonging to the Grand Army of Indi ans. Tha general also very effectively recalled the slur which Jeff Davis attempted to put upon tne Second Indiant in the battle of Bsuna Vista, and he sententiously- added that Indiana had lonji since fettled what .she owed this traitor. l.-U-rspersed with these addresses wete songs by the Keith post jnartet, of Columbus, old soldiers bui with young voices, carefully trained and in perfect control. There wure also recitations by Miss Genevieve Ellioti, thif city Miss Sidelia Starr, Greencastle, and Mrs. J. W. McCoy, Louisville Particularly in her last recitation, "The Lass He Smiled Upon," Miss Elliott was very effective. The theme chosen by Miss Starr, "Why I Wear the Radge," caught the heart and eye, and her impressive raauner carried the boys by storm, BP much so that she was compelled to repeat a portion of the poem. After she had retired, one of the G. A. not having a programme, called upon the presiding officer for the lady'n n:*me aud address, and quick as flash Bennett gave it. and added, with a wiuk, "direct your letter to Greencastle, and she'll get it." The comrade sat down in great confusion, while the house laughed itself hoarse. There was also a recitation by Mrs. W. Mc­

Coy, of Louisville, Ky., who kindly volunteered to supply the absence of Mrs Griffin, of tho relief corps, and as «he came forward, swinging an old tin canteeu, the "hoys" cheered to the echo. This canteen was her theme, and her reading was most admirable. Toward the close General Bennett was handed a note to the effect that Comrade Redding, of New York, had just arrived, and thai he had improvised a song since coming into the hall, and while the president was calling upon him to come forward, he btood upon the stage, having been there all the time. There was nothing in the song but the sentiment, for the rhyme was bad, bnt he sang it to the tune of "Old John Brown," with the audience joining iu the chorus. Afterward "Marciiin' Through Georgia" was demanded of the Columbus quartet, and this was also sung with chorus by the audience, and the meeting then dissolved. Dining the evening there were loud calls for General Hovey, but he absolutely remained away, greatly lo the disappointment. rtf the survivors of the old third division, thirteenth army corps, who were very desirous of seeing him. To supply his absence Comrade Daily gave a recitation.

A Valuable Satchel.

Cinciunnti Enquirer. A few days ago the Rev. M. C. Lockwood dedicated the study in his new church with a wedding. The interested parties were Mortimer McRoberts, of Chicago, and Misa Maude C. Mansfield Well, there v/as an after happening that rivsls tho wedding in importance. They were, to leave by evening train. The carriage was ordered, and the happy groom, grasping a small hand-satchel, sought the office artd paid his bill. Then the thought that he hod not seen his wife for to time minutes or something else disturbed his mind, and out he dashed, leaving the small satchel resting on he tioor under the cashier's window. In :iiio.ut fifleeu minutes the same man but ss pale as the ghost of Banquostood before tbe cashier's window in the Burnet hons^. Ifo asked if a satchel hud been found. Without a word the clerk handed it out to birti. He clasped his hands and raised his eyes heavenward while the blood leaped back into his face. "Saved," he murmured, and opened the satchel. The eyes of the bote man hulked out like snnil stalks, for the thing was packed with money. It con tained a cool $.50,000. McRoberts left and found his wife at the depot.

Causes All the Troiille.

Chicago Henil.l. "Casun Belli has been the cause of more wan than all the other foreigners in this country put together," said the driver of a Dine Island avenue car as he leaned heavily upon his brake. "Who brought on the Revolution'.' Casus Belli. Who started the war of 1842? Same cuss. Who was it that made us fit the South in'01? Casus Belli. Who was it that tried his darndest to git up a war with Mexico Belli.. I see by the mornin' paper that the same beast is figgerin' on a war with England over a mess of fish. In the country where 1 was reared a feller named Boetwick used logo round stirrin' up fights between his neighborHe had heaps of fun as long as it lasted, but one day late in the fall an uncle of mine and the Kendrick family fquatted themselves in a brush heap and when Bostwick came along they filled him so full of holes that he fell to pieces when they picked him up. I'm for cbokin' the gizzard out of this Belli, even if ha does come from Roman and Italian stock. He's got DO business in a free country. He's wuss'n Satan. How old is he anvhow?"

Royalty at the Theater. The Princess of Wales, accompanied by h«r royal husband and eldest son, occupied a box at. the Princass theater, an evening or two sgo, during a performance ('l Mr. Jones' "Noble Vagabond." It will seem strange to some American women to read that the wife of England's future king and the mother of a boy who, in all probability, will also wear the English crown be fore he dies, should have been attired "in a plain whitedress of situ pie tulle" without jewelry or ornaments of any kind, yet that is exactly what the wore. It was noticed also that she did not sit inthe most oomspicious spot the box afforded, but drew her chair with'i the shadow of the curtains with which the royal box was hung. When she did lean forward once, not to be seen but to see, a murmur of admiration went up es her well-preserved face and form were recognized, which she acknowledged with a qufck smile and quicker return to her retired seat. The prince and his 6on wore the ordinary evening suits, with white ties and lavender gloves, and went out together after the first act, presumably to see the same old man.

Mr. Hannah Euston has left to Charleston. S. the sum of $400,000 for tbe purpose of "making old age comfortable."

AN ODE.

Oh, woman! Thou who ruleet the bandbox With a hairpin, And wouldn't yaBk the lid oil The ballot-box For thine own plsasnre and profit, Lead on! In domestic matters thou ait I'he boss, And why shonld'st thou be feepierloss In all affairs of state? I he hand that spanketh a baby If placed upin the h-lm. Which guiJeth the governmental ships, Would show an equal grace ind thou conld legislate Some other plan by which the baby Could pnll through, \nd some day rnn against its Mother for congress!

Women make men of children, ind the men unmake their makers, Which it neither fair in law nor eqnity, \nd calls for rjform. As long as there are boarding honses (a the land. What's home and wife and mother? ind if we grant yon man's Prerogatives Von will know how it is yourself 1'iying to wind your watch up With a night key after election, \nd will kick less vigorously than now! Vhorefore, oh, woman, Lead onl My voice is still for equal rights, ind I don't care who knows it!

Scott In the Mexican War. February Century. His victories have never received tbf credit justly due them on account of th» apparent ease with which they were gained. The student of military history will rarely meet wilh accounts of battle* in any age where the actual operation! coincide so exactly with the orders issued upqp the eve of conflict as in tbe officia' reports of the wonderfully energetic an3 successful campaign in which Genera! ^cott with a handful of men renewed the memory of the conquest of Cortes, in his triumphant march from Ver: Cruz to the capital. The plan of the battle of Cerro Gordr was so fully carried out in action tha1 the official report is hardly more thai the general orders translated from thr future tense to the past. The story cr Chapultepec has the same element of ill marvelouB in it. The general commandippatent impossibilities in the closes' detail on one day, and tbe next day reports that they have been accomplished

These successes were not cheaply attained The Mexicans, though deficient in sci ^nce and in military intelligence, fough' with bravery and sometimes with iles peration. The enormous percentage 'oss in his army proves that Scott w» engaged in no light woik.
