During the eigh teenth ccnturv and the early years of the nineteenth it lost the greater par tof Its azulojos , and its great tank -was con verted into a public -wishing place ( le- vandora. publlca ) and its cloisters served as bar-rooms for various people , vrho wont there to drink and gamble under its artcsondo ceilings.

Thcso inscriptions in twelve verges , upon the almadrexas of the two galleries , ho lia carefully restored , having-for his guid ance the text of Castillo , and -with the sama African characters in the Tawll meter.

Tlio old time telegraphers form the stronger organi zation , any operator who vru in the service MorolSTO being eligible to membership , The military brincU has about two hundred members now , and each , ynar seei it drlndlo to less , Is'o ono caa "belong to it win did not serve through the war as a tegular employe of the govern ment. The number was originally 1 , 00,200 of which were cither captured or killed in the service. It w not until 1S30 that the military oper ators ot toRethcron apian of organization. .Many bad died , Irat there were still left a few liunclred and they formed the organization now known as the United States Military Telegraph corps. The objoctof the organiza tion la fully set f ortu in the following pream ble to the constitution , adopted at Niagara Tails InlSSO : "Alwut shteenyearsago the United States military telegraph corps was dismissed from the service In the war , unhonored nndun- thautced. In that time societies have been organized bjr survivors of fie various armies to perpetuate the history of their respective services , the memory of their gallant dead , and for the pleasures of social reunion. The military telegrapher has long felt that these objects alone required Ilko organization , but a growing conviction that the corps that coii- structcJ and operated over fifteen thousand miles of military lines In tlmw and places of extraordinary danger ; that they forwarded millions of telegrams to supply , recruit rind move the federal armies , thus siloao making success certain anJ the consummation speedy , lias been grievously overlooked by the gov ernment it supported so strongly , demands organization to secure such Just recognition ai may sociu proper. Therefore , to the end that the several objects abo\e \ Indicated , and such other kindred purposes as may from time to time seem proper , this constitution Is ratillcdnnd Improved. " At the meeting that Just closed here It was nsourco of disappointment that although a decade has passedsincothe organization was made , congress has Tiot recognized the de mands made upon it , Several bills have been Introduced , but tnerc seems to bo a fear in the congressional mind that these men the little handful that remains are looking for a pension. Such is not their purpose , as oft of the veterans told mo today. They are oiily looking- rccon ilion - lion for the rcmarlcahlc services they pave their country. There it no doubt but th.a In war times the government regarded tha corps as invaluable , forirhcucrci" an exchange wits made these bravo men \\pre \ never sent back to their own lines forin olllrc of less rank than major. Even the present secretary , Mr. J. S. I'etit , spent nlno months in Llbby prison and was exchanged for a confederate major , However , oven If the organization does ask a pension what will it nriiount to I There are probably 11 fteen or twenty of them entitled to such a bounty. Too bad , indeed , if the United States government could not allow unit ! And say they all got pensions , there are only about one hundredand seventy-live , all told , to get them. If congress dQffl not soon do some thing ? for the military telegraphic corns it will not lludsuchawnctlon necessary. With loss than two hundred of them left , it will not bo lonp until the last of this brave sol- dierv will have passed ai\oy , It is probably not generally known that Andrew Carnegie was a member of the corps and that ho was the first operator to loic a drop of blooJ in the cauic of bis country. The great Carnegie was then superintendent of the Pittsbarg divisiono the Pennsylvania road. The government communicated with the general manager of the system , asldng for Vivo thoroughly reliable and efficient men. Carnegie \va3 ono of the men seat. M tha meeting hero a few days ago Mr. Carncpio was made an honorary member of the old- time telegraphers' association. It-was while Governor Jotn S. Marrmdukc , recently deceased , was campaigning throusrh Arkansas that a young telegraph operator was hanged. David Uodd was the youns man's name , and ho was not twenty years of ago vhen ho was put under arrest as a spy and court-martialed. The young man took his notes in telegraphic characters In a small blank boolc ho carried with him. Ho Incau tiously neglected to tear it up or otherwise destroy it when he saw capture was inevita ble , and it stood as the clearest sort of evi dence against him. The characters wore plainly legible to any operator , ano after they were once read the poor boy admitted the facts. Ho was sentenced to death. Every effort was made to save the younp man's lifo The authorities offered to spare him If ho would disclose the name of the mai who sent the niesjtiRe. Younp Dodd would not do it , Ills friends and relatives Implored him to speak , liut ho went to the sallows smiling and firm. Ho would not imperil the life of a com rade oven to save his own. . This is the sort ol stuff those \var-tirao telegraphers were made of. 11 the artnlcshafl contained more of such , the war would have been shorter.

JUaillcs Buy So , ft nil Some of the Gen tlemen Admit XI , There is a decay of gallnnlry. The la dles say BO. The gcntlomcn admit It. The newspapers lament It. siya the Hoi- yoke Transcript. This decay of Rul- lanlry Is not wholly lo b lainontcd. Gallantry of the old school was n very curious tiling indeed. It kissed a lady s hand , but refused to nllow that hand , however skillful , to imko Itself useful. It worshiped womanhood nnd insisted on keeping Its Idols In a state or bo gt\ry , or at least ol dependence. Itvrolo odes to women's eyebrows , nnd denied thorn u chance to got nn education. It gave - women men a shiulowy homage , and denied them all real benotIK because tliey were only fit to bo done up In lavender. Gallantry has been ono of. the chief * obstacles In llio way of the Improvement of tlio conilillon ot women , Ixt ; a woman ye' ' a position as correspon\iont \ In a commercial house , as reporter on a novrspaper , as clorlc In a govornmcnt dcnartinent , nnd unless shola txwomnn of unusualsonso shots apt to cvpcct pullant treatment of lior nssoclatos. lior mlsttikos must bo con doned , her faults passed uncorrcctcd , bccausoeho Is a woinaji , Or , if she huro too much Bcnso to e.xjwct nnytlilng ot this sort her gentleman friend's will yet put hertiponthisfooting , and presently crowd her from her place , "because you never cun correct a woman , you know. " Xow , a , truly modest and earnest woman does not desire this sort of treatment. It she is cv clerk she wnnts to be a clerk. She is too proud to ask or receive any odds in competition. It Is "bettor , there fore , for the Independent women , who have to carry on the strusrfjlo of life for themselves , that the old gallantry should dioor change its form. Extra Liability to Mnlartnl Infection. Persons whose blood is thin , digestion \veaknndliverslufrgl3h , arc extra-llablo to thcaitacki of malarial disease.

The latter made a disparaging rRferencoto the former's mother , which was replied towith a blow , sanding Cathaway to the office floor. The in furiated preacher pounced upon his opponent and while Inflicting- lolling blows a. clerk in the otllco endeavoring to reauo his boss threw an inkstand at the preacher , v.-lilch cut anuglypaali in Ills head. Carroll turned on I'eterson , the clorlc , ami struck him. with , a bar of iron on the back of the neck and ho has bosn unconscious ever slnco and the physician announces the chances against him for recovery. .A coal hearer was the third to tackle the preacher nnd ho was also sent to the floor.
