GE!T. W. O. VEAEEY, THE NEW COMMANDER- IN-CHIEr. The Colonel of the regiment was William F. Smith,' who afterward became popu­ larly known as General "Baldy" Smith. Being a West Point man he gave his command thorough discipline, and it dis­ tinguished itself at Lee Mills, the first battle of the peninsular campaign in 1862. By this time, however, its colonel had been made a general, and was in command of a division, and Colonel Veazey was his chief staff and was en­ gaged in all the battles of the peninsular campaign. In addition to a leading law practice in 1864 he accepted an appoint­ ment as reporter of the decisions of the Supreme Court of Vermont, and held the office eight years, publishing nine vol­ umes. lie was a State Senator in 1872-3, and a leading member of that body. Still continuing to practice law, he was appointed register in bankruptcy in 1873, which he held until the law was repealed. In 1879 lie was chosen a Judge of the Supreme Court of Vermont, and held this office for ten years, becoming dis­ tinguished for judicial learning and probity, and being called to preside at nisi prius over the most difficult trials in the State. In 1879 ho was appointed by the Governor a commissioner to report to the Legislature upon court expensos, with a view to retrenchment and reform. Soon after going on the bench he was appointed a commissioner for revising the statutes of the State. In 1889 he was appointed by President Harrison an Interstate Commissioner, and this office he holds at the present time. Finances of the Order. The report of Quartermaster General John Taylor, of Philadelphia, consisted entirely of figures. One set showed the official in account with the Grand Army. It gave cash balance Aug. 31. 1889, 813,- 333.49; receipts from salo of supplies, S'32.895.35; receipts from per capita tax, $7,611.06; interest on United States bonds and deposits $825.21; total to be s I THE PRESIDENT, THE GOVERNOR AMD GENERAL SHERMAN IN COPLEY SQUARE. Wvid day of the mightiest military power that was ever called into existence. It was a spectacle of superlative gpcandeur by whatever standard it was measured. In point of numbers it was Immense, and but for the excellent man- A NON-COMBATANT. agemontof its organizers and directors It would havo been unwieldy. From 11 o'clock in the forenoon till after sunset this memorable march was kept up column after column passing the grand stands with wonderful precision and pre renting to the spectators a succession of military tableaux, cach one in its turn possessing some peculiar and distinctive trait of the State from which it came. Maine's sturdy men displayed the pine cones of their forests; Wisconsin's contingent carried a badger: Ver­ mont's gallant comrades adorned their kossuths with sprigs of green to remind us of their green mountains; the Illinoisans bore banners on which the names and faces of their great citi­ zens, Lincoln, Grant, and Logan, were conspicuous; and so on through the long list of all the States represented. There were 45,500 veterans in line. It was the largest procession the G. A. R. has ever turned out. The President, the Gov­ ernor of Massachusetts, and Gen. Sher­ man reviewed the procession from a Stand in Copley Square. Undeniably the most gallant figure of the day, and the one most heartily and continuously applauded, was Gen. Alger. The Kew Officer#. The chief interest in the encampment surrounded the election of grand officers and the location for the next encamp­ ment. General Wlieelock G. Veazy, of Vermont, was electcd Commander-in- chief, and the next convention will be held in Detroit. Richard F. Tobin, of Boston, was elected Senior Vice Com­ mander, and George B. Creamer, of Bal­ timore, Junior Vice Commander. Commander Veazey's Career. Wheelock G. Vcazey was born in fiockingham County, New Hampshire, about fifty-three years ago. and was ed­ ucated at Phillips, Exeter Academy, Dartmouth College, and the Albany Law School. He had just begun practice in Springfield, Vt., when the war broke out. At the closo of his military ser­ vice he resumed practice at Rutland, in partnership with the Hon. Redfield Proctor, the present Secretary of War. He enlisted as a private in the Third Y#rmooi Volunteers early in counted for, $43,681.11. The expendi­ tures had amounted to $34,239.30, of which $15,759.90 had been for the pur­ chase of supplies and $18,512.40 for inci­ dentals, postage, salaries, etc. Another table gives the total assets as follows: Cash balance on hand, $9,445.81; due by departments, $852.11; United States bonds, $19,800; supplies, $1,571.08; total, $31,669. The Grant monument fund was shown to havo been increased by $981.76 since the last encampment, and to amount to $11,114.55. Keport «f Adjutant <ieneral Hopkins. The following is Adjutant General Hopkins' report: ltussell J. Alger, Commander-in-chief: COMRADE--I be® to submit, the following report of the business transactions of the Adjutant General's office, und membership and progress and condition of tho order for the year just cloned. Owing to the fact that the Twenty-fourth National Encampment is held two weeks earlier in the yeur than the preceding encampment, the reports from some of th« departments are not as full as they would have been had more lime been given to the posts in the various depart­ ments to make tbeir reports. When you as­ sumed command of the Grand Army of the Republic there were forty-two depart­ ments, with 0,711 posts, and a membership The following table gives the strength of the several departments, and the gains of each in posts and membership between June 30 1889, and June 30, 1890. These tables show that on June 30, 1890, there were in the several departments 7.178 posts, with a membership of 307,385. The gains since June 30, 1889, were .320 costs and 20.217 members. The losses were 20 posts and 1,581 members.

The offi­ cers should make a report of tho condition of their post at the close of the meeting next preceding the close of the quarter. If this were done, the total number in good standing would appear much larger. If to the number in good standing June 30, 1S90, of 427,981, were added the number lost by delinquent reports, and the number suspended, who, although suspended, are members of tho order, there would be a total membership upon tho rolls of 455,510; to such should be also added 2,720 who are out on transfer cards. The number of deaths during the year was 5,470. Tho amount expended for relief for the year ending March 31, 1890, was $221,350.18; number of comrades relieved, 19,470; others relieved, 8,949; total number relieved.28,419. In this sum no mention is made of the large amount of private aid expended by thousands of our members individually or collectively, and of which no reoord can be kept. For the quarter ending June 30, 1890, $51 ,599.01 was expended. . The total amount expended by the Grand Army from July 1, 1871, to July 1, 1890, amounts to $1,987,534.55. In a table showing the progress made during each quarter in the last thirteen year tho following shows the gain in six de­ partments. which take tho lead: Ohio. 2.593; Missouri, 2,028; Massachusetts, 1,043; Ten­ nessee, 963; Indiana, 957; Illinois, 779. Two new departments have been organ­ ized. The Department of North Dakota, embraced in the territorial limits of the State of North Dakota, was organized at Grand Forks. N. D., on April 24, 1890. Com­ rade George B. Winship was elected De­ partment Commander, who appointed Com­ rade William Ackerman as Assistant Ad­ jutant General, with headquarters at Grand Forks. The . Provisional Department of Indian Territory and Oklahoma was authorized by special orders No. 21, dated June 23. 1890, and a department encampment called for the purpose of organizing a permanent de­ partment at Guthrie on the 7th day of August, 1890. I beg to ijefer and cordially indorse the recommendations of Fast Adjutant General Eugene F. Weigle, in which he refers to the great advantage that would accrue to the departments and the organization if there were a less frequent change of the Assistant Adjutant General in the various depart­ ments. Some of the larger department* have adopted the plan of keeping perma­ nent headquarters and making infrequent changes in the office of Assistant Adjutant General. This seems to me very desirable in­ deed, and I quite agree with Comrade Weigle in his report that it would be amply sufficient to have semi-annual reports instead of quarterly, as the latter only enhance the labor of the post and the department, officers without serving any purpose that would not be equally as well served by eemi-annual reports. As giving an indication of the amount of work required in the office of the Adjutant General. I beg to notice that there have been Issued eighteen general orders, three circu­ lars, two national rosters, which with an issue of 12,000 copies of each amounts in all to 240,000; in addition seventyrflvo special orders were issued, and nearly 4.000 com­ munications of various kinds were received, most of which call for a reply, which may be found copied in the letter books of this office. A special mailing list, comprising the iia- I I rial eral departments to the desirability of printing the reports of their proceedings in as nearly a. uniform style as possible, to conform to the printed reports of the national encampment. Commander-in-chief--I desire to express my sinceVe regrets that our official rela­ tions, which have been at all times most pleasant, are so soon to be severed. You have impressed upon me, as you have all the comrades of the various departments you have visited, the sincerity of your work in behalf of the organization. The amount of time that you have placed at the disposal of the comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic was measured only by the time between the dates when you as­ sumed the office and when you will have laid It down. If I have In any manner merited the con­ fidence which you have placed in me, and my official action has been satisfactory to the members of the organization, I am more than pleased, and abundantly rewarded for the labor. I desire In as public a manner as ppsslble to express my thanks to the officers of the various departments for their uniform courtesy in responding to my demands made upon them in relation to their departments. To Assistant Adjutant General James T. Sterling I am greatly indebted for his as­ sistance. so cheerfully and zealously given at all times, and to Quartermaster General John Taylor, Judge Advocate General Aus­ tin. and Inspector General Griffith for their aid whenever called upon. Sincerely in F., C. and L., GEOROE HOPKINS, Adjntaht General. MUSIC HAI.L, WHERE THK O. A. R. HELD ITS SESSIONS. in good standing of 382,589. The consoli­ dated report for the quarter ending Juno 30, 1890, shows forty-three departments, with the provisional department of Indian Terri­ tory and Oklahoma, and a membership In good standing of 427,981, being a net gain of two departments, 404 posts, and 47,ll(i com­ rades. tlonal and past national officers, members of the Council of Administration, prominent members of tho order of the Woman's Relief Corps and Sons of Veterans and, soldier newspapers, is now quite large, and makes a large Item in postage.

As to the term "forked lightning," the representations of it given by ar­ tists, which resemble the so-called thunderbolts placed in the hand of Jupiter, are quite absurd. The Hash, when photographed, exhibits itself $3 a line which is continually changing its course, and is described as "intensely crooked" bv a very careful observer. It never proceeds for a time in a straight line, and then turning at a sharp angle, going on further in an equally straight line, as is represented in pictures. The forking of it is very marked and this occurs by side-flashes passing off from the main track and eventually losing themselves, like the ramifications of tree roots. Occasion­ ally the lightning appears to start from a point from which several flashes diverge in different directions. 2. "Sheet lightning"--Whenever a flash passes from cloud to cloud or from cloud to earth, the light produced by it illuminates the sky in the neighborhood, and the more intense the flash the more brilliant and extensive the illumina­ tion. At times sheet lightning has been proved to emanate from an ordi­ nary storm, distant more than one hun­ dred miles from the point of observa­ tion. It is, however, maintained, and apparently with good reason, that oc­ casionally lightning of the "sheet" type, such as what is called "summer lightning," takes place without any thunder, so that in such cases no ac­ tual thunder storm is in progress. tr 8. "Globular lightning"--This is a rare phenomenon, and one which no one has as yet been able to produce in the laboratory, whereas the phenomena of the two previous types are easily produced. The general description of the occurrence is that a luminous ball is 6een moving very slowly, not touch­ ing any object, and eventually break­ ing up with a violent explosion and the appearance of several flashes of ordina­ ry lightning. It is reported that pet- sons have gone out from a house into a street to follow such a ball and watch its movements, so that the occurrence must have lasted at least a number of seconds. Ordinary lightning, as is well known, is practically quite in­ stantaneous. Th« size of the ball on different occasions has varied from that of an orange to that of a large glass lamp globe, or «ren larger. Many physicists refuse to believe any ac­ counts of this manifestation of electric­ al discharge, font the reports of it are too numerous and circumstantial for us to consider them entirely baseless.-- Longman's 1Magazine. Expert on Itoautjr. There is a great deal of sham, writes Eugene Field, in all the show of affec­ tion that lias been going on at Berlin between the Emperor William and his uncle, the Prince of Wales. It is pretty well known that the two have an ill opinion of one another. Wales hates Berlin because lie regards it as a vul- garily democratic town, and he has always looked upon William as a boor. As for the young Emperor, he has been taught by Bismarck to regard England as a nonsensical little patch wholly unworthy of consideration, and he has been 'heard to remark that the Prince of Wales was simply a petit maitre and a flaneur. Wales was accompanied to Berlin by his second son, Prince George. After they had been there two days the son broke out suddenly one day with "Father, have vou seen a pretty girl since you came here ?" "That's a curious question," replied Wales. "How came you to ask it V" "Well, I fancied you'd be on the lookout," said George, "and I wish you'd tell me if you see one, for I've got tired of hunting for them. Your judgment in that direction will do well enough for me." He Liked It, A party of New-Yorkers, composed mostly of small Wall street specula­ tors, have just returned from a hunting trip down in Maine. During their stay in the Eastern lumber regions the party camped out and cooked their own meals. The first day in camp they drew lots to determine who should do the cooking. It fell to the youngest member of tlie party. He was also the brightest of the lot, for he got his com­ panions to agree to an arrangement by which he wa9 to begin as cook, and continue in offiee until some one found fault with the eatables. Then the fault-finder should be his successor. The young man had occasion to bake some bread the very first day. His breast heaved with pride as he placed his maiden effort in this line before his companions at dinner. His compan­ ions' breasts heaved with sorrow when they sampled it. One of them, in an unguarded moment, was moved to criticism. He said: "This is dreadful poor bread." And then, quick as a flash, remembering the treaty made in the morning, he added, "But I like it!"--New York Star. . A Jok* l<«r Hoarder*. "You've left your old boarding-house, I see."

Alwsirtw H. 8Uph«ni' Momenta ad Mow Owned by s >®(fro. Strange things occur every day. and nothing is stranger than the mutations of fortune and condition. Truth is stranger than fiction. If some poet or novelist should describe tho spectacle of of a negro possessing the estate of tho late Jefferson Davis we should dash it aside as the product of a fertile imagina­ tion. And yet the former home in Mari­ etta of the late Alexander H. Stephens is owned by a negro. Mr. Frank Rogers, of Marietta, haa recently purchased tho Stephens mansion, and is now repairing and renovating it for his own private residence. To think that the former home of the Vice President of the so- called Confederate States of America should become the property of a negro seems romantic. The retreat where the "Great Commoner" thought his best thoughts, conceived his brilliant cam­ paigns, and composed his most eloquent speeches, is now resonant with pattering feet and prattling voices of children, the offspring of negro parents. Out of that same old mansion may some day come a genius, the descendant of a negro, whose brilliance shall eclipse that of the "Great Commoner," and whose lifo shall not be coupled with a "lost cause." Who knows but that the ownership by a negro of this old aristocratic estate may be a prophecy of coming power, influence, position, and wealth to the whole race? Such at least is the evident moral of this story. Mr. Rogers is to be congratulated on his good fortune. He already owns some of the finest business property in the very center of Marietta. Let others take hope, resolution and inspiration from the example of Frank Rogers. Such a man is worth his weight in gold to any community.--Atlanta Times. A French Canard. In notes from Paris a correspondent of London Tritth started a story of a new plan of reducing obesity by actually cut­ ting out the layers of surplus fat beneath the skin. As this story of the scalpel as an aid to beauty, or vivisection as a means to embonpoint, is one of the kind that are likely to go the rounds of tho press, it may seem a pity to spoil it early, but in justice to truth it­ self, as opposed to some so-called news­ paper truth, it is best to say now that this is not so, and cannot be so. It may be a good yarn to stuff a gullible friend with, but don't give yourself away by telling it for a fact among those who may k now better.--Dr. Footers Health Monthly. His Ideas of Security. "I want to borrow a hundred dollars," said he. "Can I have that sum, sir?" "Certainly," was the courteous reply of the banker. "Come and sign a note, and get an indorser." "Hain't I good for a hundred?" "Yes, and a hundred times that amount." "Then what do yer want of a note? You know I'll pay it, don't yer?" "I have no doubt of it; but to loan money without security is not the proper way to do business. " "Pshaw! I only want the money for a month, and it'll be all right." "If you live. But should you chance to die?" "Die!" exclaimed the man, as he turned away with the most disgusted look possible; "who the deuce ever heard of a man dying in thirty days?"

Up to the present day. Vanderbilt's check for £700,000 was erroneously sup­ posed to be the largest ever drawn. This has been eclipsed, as one drawn by the Indian and Peninsula Railroad Company for £1,250,000 on the London and County Bank of London has just passed through the Clearing House. In 1883 the Penn­ sylvania Railroad drew a check in favor of Messrs. Kidder, Peabody & Co., for over $14,000,000, in payment of tho Phil­ adelphia. Wilmington and Baltimore stock. This check was framed and hung up in- the office of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.--Financial Netvs. LAST week, says a California paper, a negro killed a monster rattlesnako six miles this side of Clover Valley, on the Union Pacific extension from Milford. The only weapon which the darky had was in tho form of earth clods, but he succeeded in crushing out the life of the rattler, and upon examination found the snake to measure ten feet in length, with ninety-six rattles and a button on the lateral extremity. This would give an almost phenomenal age to the snake, making it about one hundred years old. The skin and rattle have been taken north to Salt Lake, from whence it will be shipped to the East.
