The old 15th Illinois Infantry Volun teers held a reunion at Chicago Wednes day May 24th. Qen. John E. Smith and others, of Chi. cogo, are engaged in planning a series of veteran reunions daring the summer, and have engaged for a place for all such organizations to meet. The number of United States senators who served in the rebel array are 23. The number who served in the Union army are 16. t ' The late Senator M. B. Plumb, of Kan- saa, enlisted early in the war for the Union, in the 11th, Kansas Infantry as a lieutenant, was promoted to captain of his company, then major and lieutenant colonel of his regiment. Gen. John R. Kenlev.the highest officer in rank from Maryland during the war of the rebellion, who was also a major in the Mexican war, and one of the bravest and best fighters in both wars, is lying at tho pomt of death at his Baltimore home. Gen. Kenley entered the service early in 1861 as colonel of the 1st Md., but was soon promoted brigadier-gener al. He was mustered out at the close of the war, and was brevetted major-gen- eral for gallant and meritorious services. The Reunion of the 13th III., held at Dixon, was a very successful meeting. Nearly 70 members were present. The following officers were elected: Pres., Randolph Mostow, Co. H; V.-P., R. M. Hevenor, Co. F; Sec., Oscar A. Webb, Co. A, Dixon; Treas., C. H. Noble, Co. A. The report of the Regimental Historians, wascalled-forandresponedtoby Chap lain Miller, who reported the historical work completed and in the bands of the comrades, but regretted that much val uable information had come to hand alter the book was printed. The total cost of publishing the book was f 1,018.13, Surgeon John S. Billings, U. S. A., as the result of an investigation of the health of the survivors of the war, finds that while field service no doubt benefited many of weak constitutions, the propor tion of sick among veterans now surviv ing is four times as great as among those of equal age who have not seen service. The illnews most privalent among old soldiers are not such as to necessarily in volve total disabilty, but they impairen ergy and decrease ability to earn. The disproportion between ex-soldiers and civilians is greatest in diarrhoeal diseases, where the ratio is 900 to 16, and rheu matism with a proportion of 1,600. Nearly every exchange that comes to our table has the obituary of some gal lant veteran who has paid the debt of Nature. They all seem to have been gal lant, faithful soldiers. Singularly, not one of them appears to have been a de serter, a bounty-jumper or a coffee-cool er. What a queer lot these "weeds oi the army" appear to be! There are myriads of them on the pension-roll, it is said yet no one can find them while living, and none but good soldiers die anyway. National T/ibune. Nothing will please the veterans more than a fair investigation of the pension roll. They will be only too glad to have any commission.of fairminded men ex amine the whole system from top to bot tom. They have no fears of the result But they will insist that the investigation shall be fair and impartial. They do not ask that it be made by their friends, and they are determinedly opposed to its be ing made by their enemies. They are ccuAdent that any body of able, judicial- minded men, without prejudice either way, would decide, after full examination, that the pension roll is pre-eminently roll of honor, men and women on it have earned their places there is no other pensioners in the world ever did. Hurrahs lor Jeff Davis in the Wrong Flaoe. One morning, as a returned soldier named Thompson, residing in Washing ton, was engaged in conversation with some parties at a public house in Peoria, 111., an individual entered, and as he passed the soldier shouted, "Hurrah for Jeff Davis!" In an instant the soldier turned and asked, "Did you Bhout for Jeff Davis?" The individual surveyed Thompson for a moment, and seeing that he meant mischief, replied that it was not he. "Well," said the soldier, "I be lieve you did, and if I was sure of it would give you cause to remember it. He again declared that he had not done so, when at this juncture one of the men Thompson had been conversing with, who had always acted with the Demo cratic party stepped up to the soldier. I am a Democrat but I can't stand that; he did hurrah for Jeff Davis, and now pitch into him." The veteran hesitated not a moment, and, although by far the smaller of the two, he went for the Jeff Davis sympathizer and administered a most thorough drubbing, concluding by compelling' him to shout twice as loud as he was able for "Abe" Lincoln. Then al lowing the fellow to get on his feet, he cautioned him never to repeat that oper ation again in his presence, saying: "I have fought rebels for four years and had a brother killed by just such men as you are, and whenever a traitor shouts for Jeff Davis in my hearing I will whip him or kill him." i A Word to Mr. Carnegtef Mr. Andrew Carnegie has made a large fortune in the steel business, but is not satisfied. He now poses as a political prophet, but is not entirely a success. He tells us that the whole English speaking world ought to unite in order to boss the affairs of the planet. Such a combination, he declares, would give ns the dictatorship. We should be come the arbiters of the world's destiny, "and all like that, you know." Our consolidated navy would be decisive in any controversy, and European na tions would be compelled to ask our per mission before cutting each other's throats. > There is no reason why we shonld unite with England either politically, commercially or otherwise. We are quite able to run our own machine, and ask no help from any one. We don't propose to assume the task of control ling Europe. If Germany Wants to fight Russia, that is her business. We will stay on this side of the water and supply breadstuffs at a reasonable profit, if France is loading up for a contest, that is not our affair. She is her own master, and we have no desire to take a hand. If our memory serves us, we were at some pains about a century ago to break off all close relations with England. King George got very mad and swore at us in his characteristic patois, but we brought that stubborn gentleman- to terms at last. It is not probable, there fore, that we shall at this late day enter into a "combine*' with England which iviiglit open up a chance to recover the property she owned before the Declara- lion of Independence.--New York Tel egram. Helping Out • Medical Authority. A medical authority says that in view of a threatening plague people cannot be too careful in the selection of the ice they use, as all sorts of disease may be communicated by this medium, but no directions governing the selection of ice are given. In order that the public wel fare may be conserved we present a few general rules for the guidance of ice purchasers. The best ice is always cold, and some times a slight moisture may be observed upon the surface. It is devoid of smell and will melt when exposed to a tem perature of 110 degrees F. Ice made of water is most desirable. It should be transparent, or nearly so, and should break into fragments when given a a sharp blow. Tough ice that will not break is generally adulterated. Avoid soft ice or ice that has been subjected to excessive heat while under process of manufacture. It sometimes presents a fine appear ance, but is unhealthful. Ice more than three days old should not be purchased as it is liable to turn sour on your hands and will have to be thrown away. After haviag melted, ice loses many of its vir tues and should not be used. It should always be kept in a cool place and at a distance from gas fixtures to avoid ex plosions.--Washington News. % Trials of a Kentucky Minister.

" Beautiful Lectures on Journalism* Lectures on journalism are becoming abundant. It goes without saying that 19 times out of 20 they are by those who know nothing of their subject experi mentally, but know all about it theoret ically. And, oh, how beautifully they do talk! But if they'll only take a little) hack at it in a practical day in and day out sort of way they'll find that journal ism means something else than spider web rainbows and pansy beds, or we'll lose our guess. We have never known a case where actual experience with book canvassers, committees who want a lot of free ad vertising in the editorial columns "for the good of the cause, you know," etc., ever failed to leave its impress of stern logic. Those who presume on the duties and responsibilities of journalism and all that sort of pretty talk would see some things at least a little differently if they'd only get down from their high hone and take a hand at journalism themselves.--Milford (N. Y.) Journal. Where Discipline Is Essential. It seems to us that we have this year an inordinate number of reports of riot ous and obstreperous conduct on ths part of students in institutions of learn ing, especially in colleges and academies, and even in seminaries for young wom en. Making due allowance for youthful frivolity, we take occasion to say that at all hazards order must be preserved among the students and discipline en forced by the faculty of all educational institutions. When students are suf fered to override the rules set up by the faculty, it is to their own disadvantage; when professors fail to apply these rules, it is evidence of their incompeten cy; when an institution gets a name for disorderliness, it is on the road to ruin. --New York Sun. Sheep Shearing In New York. _ They are shearing the sheep in Cen» tral park, and a good sized job it ?":r turned out to be. There are about 80 ewes and as manyt lambs besides the two or three rams. All of the flock ara v Southdowns of the purest breed, ana their wool, averaging from six to eighM pounds a fleece, is very fine and of morl| Value than that of the ordinary sheep. I Shepherd Conway and his sheepdog are attending the sheep and lambs on thflf ^ green, while three or four professional \ sheep shearers are at work on the restol "rl the flock at the sheepfold. As fast as an f animal has been shorn it is turned out to pasture with the lambs and rams, an<| the contrast between the thin, white ap* - pearance of the shorn sheep and the thick, brown fleeces of the rams and , lambs is an interesting sight. -- Nevf % York Letter.
