L r 1, i. 6. 12 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY MAT 26, 1880. IN THE SOCIAL SWIM. POINTS OX POLITENESS. Tobacco Chevrcrs Scored The Hnblt Stroncly Condemned When a Silk Hat Should be Worn Celtnloid Collars and Cuffs Not the Proper Caper. nnarTKS toe tub DisrATcn.2 The author of "Don't," in addition to giving some points on etiquette, presents a communication on the evil ot the tobacco-cbew- er in society. The habit is strongly condemned, and its votaries are unmerci- fully scored. The question seems to resolve itself into a charge of unchivalrous conduct on the part of the American man toward the American woman. A couple, when attending church and passing down the aisle to a seat, should the Gentleman precede or follow the lady! Reader. Wo have answered this question before, but will repeat our answer. At a theater or con- cert the gentleman necessarily precedes the lady, because he knows, or is supposod to know, where the seats are situated, and the way thereto; at ch urch the gentleman precedes the lady because it is his province to open the pew door. The gentleman in all such cases Is the conductor, the guide: he leads in order that he may clear away obstacles.in case of a crowd, to obtain a passage, to act always as protector. To come behind is the duty of a servant. What is the proper thing for children to say in replying "yes'" and "no" to questions asked them by both male and female? A ErvriLDEEED Mother. There is no term that is applicable to both sexes or that will do for either sex. If two persons ask a child a question at the same mo- ment a breach of manners has occurred, and one or the other should withdraw his or her question. But it is not necessary for a child always to say '"sir" or "ma'am;" in fact, accord- ing to the rules of the best circles, a child should be taught to say "Yes, uncle," "No, aunt," "Yes, papa," instead of "Yes, sir," "No, ma'am," etc.; and often plain "yes" or "no" may be used, if the tone is respectful. The Americans are accused of using "sir" to ex- cess, its introduction In conver- sation being thought vulgar. "WHERE TO WEAR A SILK HAT. What are the rules in regard to wearing the bat? Is it proper to wear a silk hat with a tack coat; A.B.D. With Americans great license prevails in wearing the hat. In England, en the contrary, the rules are very strict, and certain modifica- tions of them have been adopted by a few clnb men here. According to the English dictum, a silk bat (that is a high hat) should be worn with a frock coat, bnt never with a sack coat, or jacket, as this article is designated by En- glishmen. The Derby hat, as we call it. must be worn only w ith a sack coat: .but neither the tack coat nor the Derby hat is admissible on the promenade or in the "city," these articles being limited to the train or country. A soft bat shonld never be worn except when travel- ing or on sporting occasions. It would be ab- surd to follow the English strictly in wearing the bat, bnt they are worth heeding: and allow- ing for differences of climate, may be advan- tageously followed in some instances. Let us at least not wear a silk hat with a sack coat. What is yonr opinion of wearing celluloid collars and cuffs? J. C, B. No lady or gentleman should wear anything but linen collars and cuffs. Celluloid collars are about as vulgar as paper collars,wnich men eo much used a few years ago. Linen is the only proper ear and that should be white and immaculately clean. BOS'T WKAB OUT TOUR WELCOME. I am Invited in the country for a fan- - days. How long would it be proper tostay under such an invitation ? 1quieer. Not more than three, or at the utmost four, days. A visitor to a country house should al- ways remember that other visitors may be ex- pected at a definite day, and therefore should not postpone departure beyond the allotted time. Are white or spotted linen shirts preferable for summer wear In the country 7 Fancy colored linen shirts have no advantage over shirts of white linen, inasmuch as they coil just as easily. Colored woolen shirts of fine texture are appropriate for boating, yacht ing, pedestrian excursions, picnics, etxx, hence for all occasions when white linen is not used they form a suitable substitute. But decorated linen is neither useful nor tasteful, however fashionable It may be. My friend from Baltimore always calls her overshoes "gums." Is this right ? Bessie. And in other places overshoes are commonly called rubbers or India rubber, which is about as bad. Call these articles "overshoes." There is no necessity for designating the material of which an article of the kind is made. We have received not a few letters comment- ing upon the almost universal masculine habit of spitting. Our correspondent has favored us with an account of an experience in a New Tork horse car, which we wish all the tobacco cbewers and spitters in the country would profit thereby. He designates his communica- tion OUB JTATIONAL HABIT. There were five of them; three on the opposite side or the car and two on my side; all were uncom- fortably near, and each man was Industriously occupied In decorating the floor of the vehicle with discharges of saliva. Three were tobacco chewers, and their copious coffee-color- ed expec- torations soon made unsavory pools at their feet; the other two discharged a while saliva which was only a little less coplous'and nauseating than the other variety, bo persistent and so zealous were these five men In this occupation that It looked as If they might have been hired to sit there and spit at so much an hour. My cheeks Uncled at first with lndlrnatlon, hut Dresentlvtbe wbolethtnr bes-a- to Imnreas me aa amusing. Were not these men simply exercising their natural orlvllejce of expectorating where and as mnch as they pleased? Ihey ptld their fare; and a car Is ajjunllc vehicle In which everybody Is as rood' as anybody else: and what la the floor -- anyway but something to tread upon and spit upon? Tbelr reply to any protest 1 mlrnt have jnaae wouia nave oeen aavice energetically ex- - pressed to the effect that if 1 dldn' lite tbelr do- - In ;s l mlcnt get out ana walk or mre tell them thai tbey were making the floor very nasty, and that everybody wh6 came In would have to tread In the filth: that women's skirts would fall into its that the right their Tares rave them was to travel is the car and not to solllt at their pleasure to have told them all this would have excltec: their amazement and their Ire. The right to spit was to them as natural as the right to breathe they had never doubted it and had never heard it questioned and yet thty were not people of the lowest class. They were dressed tolerably well, and considered themselves, BO doubt, respectable citizens. But bowdld these respectable citizens aside In their own houses? Ilia tbey cover the floors of the passages, the stair- ways, the dining room, the parlor, with stains that tbe most insensible would scarcely call orna- mental? Did they and their wives and their daughters always sit down with their feet in spool ortobaceo Juice? Ana then did they spit all day long as persistently and energetically as they were doing on this occasion? 1 dared not think of tbelr homes, or follow them in their vocations to see and bear them for a duration of ten minutes was more than enough. A GROTESQUE FICTURE. And yet I was amused. I had just been reading one of Frederick Harrison's brilliant essays on the "Worship or Humanity" the new religion which makes mankind the object of worship and reverence and I thought ot humanity with a big H as a universal tobacco chewer, as an embodied expression of expectoration and of worshiping It! The picture seemed a little grotesque, andirrevb rent laughter sprang to my lips. 1 am afraid that the thoucbtof man as a spltter, as a cbewer of tobacco, as a being ceaselessly ejecting unsavory streams from his mouth, is ra- tal to not a few visions of the race. "How noble In reason, "exclaims Hamlet, bjfbrm and mov- ing, how express .and admirable, In action how ttiypV like an angel. Id apprehension bow like a rod, the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals.' This Is rerr noble, but in order to sympathize wlih It fully I must forgetniy five paragon tobacco splltersln a Mew lore street car, and Hamlet lived before the days of tobacco. In apprehension how like a rod that is when be seizes upon his to- bacco poach. In action like an angel that ia when he squirts his tobacco Juice oyer your newly polished boots. In truth, vile habits, like tobacco chewing and spittlnjr. kill not only virtue In those who indulge In thein, but in those who are compelled to witness them. Who can be inspired to serve humanity when humanity Is unsavory and disgusting In lis .radices' To din for vonr country is the old pa- ls riotlc asuiratlon. Dvlnr for roar country uy- - lnr for other people, and If other people means my Are companions in the street car, with their, quids and their ejections, I shall think about It This habit Is entirely American not merely the habit of tobacco chewing, but the habit among men who do not chew Utbacco of ceaselessly spit- ting. The climate Is the cause, some say. Hut American women do not spit more than the omen of other countries, and therefore climate cannot be the cause, for climate Is no respecter of sexes, ti e 01 America are A NATION OP SPrTTERS and are recognized as such the world over. It is not an agreeable reputation. The spittoon is almost an unknown article elsewhere; here it is fairly a national emblem. In many parts of the country its presence Is most revolting. 1 recall an In- stance of an artist who was aeked to go on a sketching tonr In certain districts, and who ret fused because be would not travel where in hotel and car be mnst be brought in ceaseless contact with the tplttoon and the spltter. "Love thy neighbor as thyselfI" is the Scrip- tural Injunction. With all my heart, with one mental reservation. He xnus. not be a chewer or tobacco. Manv complaints are made of the decline of manners as illustrated by the neglect of gen- tlemen when in a car to offer their seats to la- dles, which at one time they never failed to do. Is it still incumbent upon a gentleman to do this thing? btrictly speaking, it is, although there is a growing feeling against it; some men excuse themselves on the ground that ladies so often fail to acknowledge the politeness, bnt thelack of good manners on their part scarcely excuses a lack of courtesy on our part. There is one cirenmstance, however, that goes far toward ex- empting men from the attention which is that veryrarelv does a woman when accompanied by a lad direct him to vacate his seat for a lady. A courtesy which women expect from men they never, it would seem, teach their own boys to practice. The women have the training of boys; it is in the household that the principles and practice of good manners are taught: and hence if the young men of the pe- riod are deficient in that courtesy toward women which once characterized all American gentlemen, are not the women themselves to blame for it? Let each materfamillas teach her own bovs the obligations of cood manners. and then no materfamllias will be likely to have occasion to complain of discourtesy from boys or men when she goes abroad.

'The little Tycoon" has been here so many times that it is hardly necessary to rehearse its merits again. This week Wtllard Spenser's clean, wholesome and lively little opera comique will hold the boards attbe Grand Opera House. For a summer divertisement "The Little Tv-- coon" has a good many sterling recommenda tions. Its music is light and melodious, and tbe humor of its lines is gentle and refined. The opera will be presented by a strong com- -' pany, which Includes R. E. Grabam, J. Aldrich LIbbey. Floyd Wilson. Catherine Linyard, Hat-ti- e Arnold, Mamie Cerbi and others. The opera will be beautifully staged, and the costumes are ricb and tasteful. 3Theatergoers are familiar with the play that brought the late Bartley Campbell so promi- nently before the public, "My Partner." It will be seen at Harris' Theater this week, and the company presenting the 'popular drama is one of superior merit. Miss Jennie Kenmcrk, who appears as Mary Brundtn, has made a distinct success by ber effective rendition of a a difficult role. The other characters are in hands, and the production as now given f;ood to equal that of any of Its predecessors. Jt Is safe to predict that 6My Partner" will re- peat the big success which it did at this house earlier In the season. B. P. O. E. NOTES. The Executive Committee met onlast Thurs- day evening.

Guskt'S, t L00AL AfiT AND ARTISTS. Miss Emma W.Patton shows a study of a head in water colors at Mayer's. The work is so broadly handled it may almost be said to be devoid of detail, bnt it is from life, and therein lies Its merit, as tbe expression is very cood and it is certainly very lifelike. The Haseltine collection has been kept in the Hacke gallery somewhat longer than was at first intended, but the pictures will be removed and in their places will appear those which form the usual exhibit, supple- mented by such new ones as may be added from time to time. Two very fine nbotogravures of paintings whioh are really masterpieces of art, are shown at Gillespie's. One is from "The Shrine ot Venus," by L. Aima-Tadem- a, which exhibits tbe fine qualities that have rendered tbe fame of this master so world-wid- Tbe other is from the picture entitled,"Football," by W. H. Over-en- the author ot "An August Morning With Farragut." The large number of figures shown in this work are all excellently well drawn, and the action cf those engaged in the struggle for the ball is particularly strong. At this season of the year painting in the studio seems a wearisome task compared with the delightful recreation which it becomes when a big yellow umbrella forms one of the accessories, or better still, when the shade of some convenient tree may be availed of. The suddenness with which we have been visited with' periods of high temperature hit made many of th e artists long for tbe cool breezes of forest and glade, and they are making prepara- tions to pack their sketch boxes and take to tho woods. To speak of them as taking to tbe woods, however, is not as literally true at pres- ent as it has been in former times, at least not to the same extent. There has of late been a manifest disposition on tbe part of the public to buy, and consequently on tbe part of artists to paint, subjects in which the work of man is evident, and scenes of field and farm, cottage and roadside, such as were beretofere almost neglected are now looked for with tbe greatest interest. Chastises creek is a picturesque locality, and would readily furnish subjects for the brush of Pittsburg artists without their going very far from home, but this is a fact of which they appear to be ignorant or unappreciative, since the place is so caro fully avoided Mr. E. A Poole, however, has planted his sketching stool close by a large tree overhanging the waters of the creek and produced a picture which proves that the scene forms a very ex- cellent subject for the brush of tbe landscape painter. The particular effect shown in this work is that of early morning when tbe mists rise and hang about the trees,rendering all the more distant objects more or less mysterious and obscure. In the drawing and coloring the work is verv rood, and in comoosition and gen eral effectit is decidedly pleasing and attract ive, but tbe handling of tbelarge tree in tbe foreground is faulty, as it Tails to show the Sualitles artist. most characteristic of a work by a A very pleasant and cleverly handled in- terior shown at Boyd's is the work of Mr. D. B. 'Walkley. The bright sunlight streaming in at the window seems to indicate that tbe hour is morning, while the occupation of the young woman who Is apparently engaged in the pre- paration of the midday repast would perhaps justify the same conclusion. The picture gives the impression of being a scene from Holland, presumably the home of a moderately well-to-d- o peksant. This is a well composed picture, full of interest of a qniet kind, as works of its class by Mr. Walkley usually are, Tbe figure of the younger girl leaning idly against a table, watching her companion at work, gives the picture an air of repose which tells of ease and contentment with their lot in life, which is quite characteristic of the class of people they repre- sent. The color in this work is very good, and in the execution of detail very little fault can be found. There is one respect, however, in which pictures by this artist may be considered fair subjects for adverse criticism, and that is . that he displays a certain amount of manner- - In f... n.nln. rf hi. Awn a in.1.n. 1.1 pictures look too much alike. This is some- thing of a fault in his works taken collectively, though it perhaps does not detract from. the artistic value of each one viewed by itself. Along with the above, Mr. Walkley also ex- hibits a small painting which is really an ar- tistic gem. It is about tbe smallest work that has ever been shown by a Pittsburg artist, but it is a very complete picture, representing tbe exterior of a farm bouse, and is very effective, although on such a small scale. . A small, collection of paintings, consisting of five works by foreign artists, have been shown at Gillespie's. These pictures are all works of considerable merit, aud although limited in nnmber are full of Interest and well worthy a visit from art lovers. The "Grand Canal, Venice," by F. R. Unterberger. is a good sized picture, keyed in a high tone of color and of very decorative effect Tnosewho wish to see work by an artist with an unprononnceable name will do well to inspect the picture by Z. Ajduklewlcz. Tbe subject is a mounted bunts-ma- n winding a horn and having a number of dogs grouped about him in various attitudes. The man and animals are seen in the midst of a dreary landscape, at a time when twilight is far advanced and the shadows of night are coming on. There is some good drawing in this work, but also some faulty coloring, especially in the painting of the horse, where it becomes cold and hard. H. Lerolle is a n artist and the picture shown here is a good example of his work. It is one of his favorite subjects, a farm scene, showing a field from which the birds are rising, disturbed by tbe approach of the harvesters. A splendid landscape by Rlcbet is a very pleasant though slightly paint- ed work, showing some buildings partly hidden by trees in the distance, while near the fore- ground a noble old tree bends over the road. Tbe work is very clear and strong in color. An excellently painted work by Milne Ramsoy con- sists of an old metal casket surrounded by roses, under which tbe hilt and part of the blade ot a sword is seen. Tne objects com- - in this last picture are very well andled, though lacking in artistic arrange- ment. Taken altogether the fine works, by as many different artists, are cleverly painted pictures, and their varied character renders them of considerable interest. . ETENTPUL TO ONE SCHOOL. A First Opening Dny, and Other Items of Edncationnl Interest. Last Friday was an eventful one at the Sylvan avenne school, Fourteenth ward. It was opening day, the first in the history of the school, and all conceded that this embryotic effort was a successful one. In the rooms taught by the Misses Eva Conrad, M. Van Horn, Hannah Jones and H. Mays, were speclmens'of drawing and other school work. The boards were nicely dec- orated, and singing speeches and calisthenics entertained the visitors, the whole reflecting great credit on tbe school. Miss M. E. Hunter, principal of this and the BelleQeld school, ex- pressed herself much pleased with the work. At a meeting of tbe members who bad charge of tbe Prosser benefit concert yesterday to re- ceive all returns, it was found that tbe total re- ceipts amounted to 11,602 15, and the committee certainly must have been an econointnal one, for the expenses reached the modest sum of SIS 93, leaving SI, 156 20 in tbe treasurer's hands. The committee passed a resolution thanking the press and all who so kindly assisted them in making the benefit a success. Edncationnl Echoes. THE BelleQeld school exhibition occurs Fri- day, June 7.

Programmes for memorial Day Exercises at the Cemeteries The Orators Chosen-Ne- ws From tbe Posts The Sons of Veterans. Once more are the surviving soldiers of the "War of tbe Rebellion called together to pay well merited tribute to those of their comrades who survived not tbe cruel shot and shell, the murderous bayonet and the long and health-destroyi- marches, and to those whom tbe Great Commander has called since they went bravely forth to die, if necessary, for the preservation of this glorious nation. This solemn, sad, yet beautiful custom of decorating the graves of fallen comrades, originated in the South, a year or two after the war, and the Idea was taken np and urged upon tbe Grand Army of the Republic by Commander-in-Chie- f John A Logan. It is a sad thoughf that there will be more graves to decorate each succeeding year and fewer vet- erans to take part in the exercises. The num- ber of deaths of Grand Army men in this vi- cinity has been unusually large the past win- ter. Aye, the ranks are beginning to rapidly thin out. Let us all unite in honoring those who now sleep peacefully beneath the sod and those who are jet numbered with the living, to whom we are indebted for this "land of the free and home of the brave."

The Sum of $100,000 of Stolen Gold Buried Kear the City of Buffalo, 0YEE THIETT-FIV- E IEAE8 AGO. Story of a Famous Robbery and an Search for Treasure. A GREAT SECEET, CAEEEULLX GUABDED fSPICIAL TXLXOBAX TO TEX SISFATCS.1 Bufpaxo, May 25. The secret of buried treasure that is said to have laid undis- turbed forthe past 35 years within a few miles of Buffalo came to the knowledge of yonr correspondent this week. It has been kept a close secret in one family during all these years and now has descended as a her- itage to a resolute young man who has de- termined to unearth it. He does not choose to tell its exact location, for fear others might get there before him, nor yet does he wish his nsme published, lest if he fail in the enterpnse he should be laughed at. The amount of the treasure, he says, is $100,000 in gold, placed in an iron chest or box, and the story of how it got there and several attempts made to unearth it, is a strange one, as told by the present custo dian of the secret. He said: About 35 years ago 5100,000 in gold was sent on a Central train to Buffalo, consigned to the Holland Land Company. The express mes- senger and the gold were missing when the train reached Buffalo. The gold was never found, and though the most dUllgent searcb was made, no trace of the messenger could bo discovered. That Is ail tbe public as yet knew about It. From several sources I have corrobo- ration that tbe money and messenger were missine. Five years later a man named Ernst, a German living at Black Bock, received a letter from Germany from the missing mes- senger. The two were friends. In the letter the messenger confesstd that he had stolen the money, that be had buried it, made bis way to New York and then to Germany, expect- ing to return and unearth the treasure after such time bad elapsed as would make it safe for him to do so. But be fell sick and was on nis deathbed when the letter was written and be told Ernst he could have tbe buried treasure for the digging. He gave directions where to find it. mentioning a certain railroad crossing near which it could be found. TBE BTJBIED BOX. Ho said it was in an iron box or chest, that it was very heavy and that he bad rolled It out of the car door and down a t emDant. mentastbe train was speeding along. After- ward he got off the trajn and buried the box where it lay at the foot of the embankment. Not to be too exact about it, tbe spot is op the line of the Central Railroad between 10 and 20 miles from Buffalo. Ernst decided that It was an enterprise in which two persons could work to better ad- vantage than one, and be come uptown and consulted my uncle, Jacob Benzlno. who then lived on Swan street. They talked it over and agreed to start for tho spot early next morn- ing. Ernst bad a long, sharp iron rod, with which be intended to probe the earth in tbe vicinity of the buried box. He left this stand- ing outside my uncln's door ana started for home at Black Bock. He was smoking a pipe as he walked. It was dark and be fell into an open trench or sewer, partially stunning him, and as he lay there the fire in his pipe set bis clothes In flames. His burns and injuries from falling were so severe that he died next day. The letter was found in his breast pocket, partially burned. It fell into tbe possession of my nncle. who eagerly examined it, only to find that some of tho minute directions were effaced. He could still come pretty close to the spot, however. THE PIBSI SEABCH. Five years went by before he gave it a trial. My father came here from tbe East and tbe two talked it over together. Tbe result was that my nncle, aunt and father started on tbe first search ever made for the gold. They found the railroad crossing all right, and fol lowing the incomplete direction" as well as ihey could, fixed upon a spot to die for tbe treasure. Thoy failed to find it. Thoroughly discouraged, they gave up the quest and re turned home. But the thought of that gold haunted our people. My nncle died during the war, and the secret fell to my father's branch of tbe family alone. It was often talked over, and when my brothers came to be some size it was decided to try once more. PEIQHTENED BT AN APPAB1TIOHV A second attempt was made ten years ago.' My father, two brothers and a brother-in-la- made up the party. They heard of an-ol- man somewhere who had an instrument by which he could tell where gold was located. There was a ringer in the instrument which revolved so that it could point in any direction. I've heard that some gold diggers use such things. Tbe party got this old man to go along, and tbe finger pointed to a spot onUhe north side of the railroad track, directly opposite where the digging was done on tbe first search. They began digging It was night time, and you can imagine thatTney all felt nervous. My father hid gone with tbe lantern to look to the horses, which were np tbe track a bit, when suddenly a vfcice was beard calling to tbe dig- gers. Theylooked up and saw a man standing beside tbcrf. Not a sound bad told of his ap- proach, ana after a minute or two be vanished away In the darkness Some ot the party who were superstitious thought the man was a ghost, abd being nervous enough already, tbe searchwas given up. ( THE LAST VATJT 8EAECH. A:year ago last summer 1 drove out with my father and the old man to the spot and took a look at tho surroundings. We found that an additional track bad been laid, and that it covered tbe burying place of the gold. We tried tbe old man's instrument in every way, and every time it pointed to tne spot wnere tne party had dug before. We were satisfied that the money was there, but we hesitated about digging under the Tail road track. I'm not sure that we could get permission to do so, though it could be done without injuring the track. The young man reitered bis determination to make immediate search for -- he treasure. Old residents here remember the great robbery referred to. NATIONAL GUARD NOTES. GAPTAIjr AMRED E. HUNT, Of this City, left for Europe yesterday. He expects to be gone several months. General Hastings, in his report, touches on the subject of dress uniforms just enough to show that he favors distinctive uniforms for each regiment. The question is bow be will do It on S7o,ou0. Tas members of tbe Washington Infantry are ordered to assemble at the armory on Thursday morning. May SO, at 7 o'clock in full dress uniform, to proceed to East Liberty to act as escort to Post 117, G. A- - B. CrncT;LAK3 have been sent out from tbe Di- vision Headquarters to tbe commandant of the various organizations in the State, asking that the location desired for tbe coming sum- mer encampments be forwarded at an early date. This members ot Company F. Eighteenth, will assemble at the armory, 1304 Bing- ham street, at 7:30 A. M. on Thursday May 30, to act as escort to Post 151, G. A B. Other members of tbe regiment who desire to participate can report at the same time and place. The Adjutant General's report for last year speaks of tbe fact that the Second and Eighteenth Regiments have the poorest quar- ters in the State. Tbe armory of the Second Begiment Is well under way for construction; now what's the matter with the Eighteenth doing business also? Colonel Bona FFOit,of the Third Begiment, has made application to Division Headquart- ers for the privilege of marching his regiment to camp at Mount Gretna this summer. Thb distance is a little ovur 100 miles, and he ex- pects to cover tbe ground in about tour days. Tbe idea is pretty wel thought of, and the privilege will probably De granted. The Eighteenth Begiment rifle range at High Bridge is almost completed, and will be ready for use this week. On Decoration Day Company E will be on the grounds. Tbe range is well located, within ten minutes ride of tbe CltV. and it la flTTMtrtArl tf,A th. rttflHmAn v41t bo able to make a good showing this season In garget practice, something that very little at- - ictiuan naa oeen paid 10 heretofore. 'Cou.onel PsROHMENT, of the Fourteenth Begidngnt, has decided that the coming of the regiment will be held at Idlewild, neW Ligonler, the scene of tbe en- campment ofHlSSa.

Company K, of Manfleld, will be on the range and Company G on Decoration Day. Tbe spring inspections in this end of the State closed last nlgbt with Companies H and B, of the Eighteenth Regiment. The regiment as a whole showed up pretty well, the following being the strength per company: A, 53 men 3 officers; B, 45 men 3 officers; C. 60 men 3 officers; 0,42 men 2 officers; E. 60 men 3 officers; F, 44 men 2 officers; G, 64 men 3 officers; H. 45 men 1 officer; L 57 men 3 officers. The guard duties as performed in the different companies was very good; the skirmish drill, however, was but fair, except in two or three instances. Battsbt B had 64 men and five officers in line last Wednesday night for the annual spring inspection of the organization. Captain Hamilton, assisted by Lieutenant Bean, wis present to do tbe rating, and it it safe to say the battery will be woraed pretty high, as aside from the fact that all tbe artillery ma- neuvers possible in tbe space of the hall were gone through in an excellent manner, the mea presented a clean and neat appearance- - Quite a. large number of ladies and visitors were present to witness the ceremony, and every- body seemed well pleased with the showing made. After the inspection an election was held for Captain and Senior First Lieutenant; tha commissions of Messrs. Hnnt and Bheperd having expired by limitation. The latter was eiectea unanimously, captain Hunt, however, bad an opponent in John D. Watson. But one ballot was required, tb vote standing 43 to 21 in favor of Hunt, Lieutmtaut Bean, of the regular army, who has been assisting hi tbe inspections of tha guard in this State, speaks very favorably of tbe appearance made by the Second Brigade so far; He criticises the miserable quarters of the companies in this city very severely, and is surprised that an attendance of men can bo gotten under the circumstances. In speaking of tbe inspection of Battery B, last Wednesday nieht, be makes a point which Captain Hunt should bear inrmlnd, and that is the remark- ably poor condition in which the Galling gun is kept, and the fact that not more than two or three of tbe members of the organization knbw how to use tbe instrument. Lieutenant Bean is an artillery officer and is presumed to know . what he is talking about, and be expresses amazement that the only piece of artillery tha battery would prooably ever need in case of riot duty, should be kept in such unserviceable condition.

12 THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, SUNDAY MAT 26, 1880.

IN THE SOCIAL SWIM.

POINTS OX POLITENESS.

Tobacco Chevrcrs Scored The HnbltStroncly Condemned When a Silk HatShould be Worn Celtnloid Collars andCuffs Not the Proper Caper.

nnarTKS toe tub DisrATcn.2The author of "Don't," in addition to

giving some points on etiquette, presents acommunication on the evil ot the tobacco-cbew- er

in society. The habit is stronglycondemned, and its votaries are unmerci-

fully scored. The question seems to resolveitself into a charge of unchivalrous conducton the part of the American man toward theAmerican woman.

A couple, when attending church and passingdown the aisle to a seat, should the Gentlemanprecede or follow the lady! Reader.

Wo have answered this question before, butwill repeat our answer. At a theater or con-

cert the gentleman necessarily precedes thelady, because he knows, or is supposod to know,where the seats are situated, and the waythereto; at ch urch the gentleman precedes thelady because it is his province to open the pewdoor. The gentleman in all such cases Is theconductor, the guide: he leads in order that hemay clear away obstacles.in case of a crowd, toobtain a passage, to act always as protector.To come behind is the duty of a servant.

What is the proper thing for children to sayin replying "yes'" and "no" to questions askedthem by both male and female?

A ErvriLDEEED Mother.There is no term that is applicable to both

sexes or that will do for either sex. If twopersons ask a child a question at the same mo-

ment a breach of manners has occurred, andone or the other should withdraw his or herquestion. But it is not necessary for a childalways to say '"sir" or "ma'am;" in fact, accord-ing to the rules of the best circles, a childshould be taught to say "Yes, uncle," "No,aunt," "Yes, papa," instead of "Yes, sir," "No,ma'am," etc.; and often plain "yes" or "no"may be used, if the tone is respectful. TheAmericans are accused of using "sir" to ex-cess, its introduction In conver-sation being thought vulgar.

"WHERE TO WEAR A SILK HAT.What are the rules in regard to wearing the

bat? Is it proper to wear a silk hat with atack coat; A.B.D.

With Americans great license prevails inwearing the hat. In England, en the contrary,the rules are very strict, and certain modifica-tions of them have been adopted by a few clnbmen here. According to the English dictum,a silk bat (that is a high hat) should be wornwith a frock coat, bnt never with a sack coat,or jacket, as this article is designated by En-glishmen. The Derby hat, as we call it. mustbe worn only w ith a sack coat: .but neither thetack coat nor the Derby hat is admissible onthe promenade or in the "city," these articlesbeing limited to the train or country. A softbat shonld never be worn except when travel-ing or on sporting occasions. It would be ab-surd to follow the English strictly in wearingthe bat, bnt they are worth heeding: and allow-

ing for differences of climate, may be advan-tageously followed in some instances. Let usat least not wear a silk hat with a sack coat.

What is yonr opinion of wearing celluloidcollars and cuffs? J. C, B.

No lady or gentleman should wear anythingbut linen collars and cuffs. Celluloid collarsare about as vulgar as paper collars,wnich meneo much used a few years ago. Linen is theonly proper ear and that should be white andimmaculately clean.

BOS'T WKAB OUT TOUR WELCOME.

I am Invited in the country for a fan- - days.How long would it be proper tostay under suchan invitation ? 1quieer.

Not more than three, or at the utmost four,days. A visitor to a country house should al-

ways remember that other visitors may be ex-pected at a definite day, and therefore shouldnot postpone departure beyond the allottedtime.

Are white or spotted linen shirts preferablefor summer wear In the country 7

Fancy colored linen shirts have no advantageover shirts of white linen, inasmuch as theycoil just as easily. Colored woolen shirts offine texture are appropriate for boating, yachting, pedestrian excursions, picnics, etxx, hencefor all occasions when white linen is not usedthey form a suitable substitute. But decoratedlinen is neither useful nor tasteful, howeverfashionable It may be.

My friend from Baltimore always calls herovershoes "gums." Is this right ? Bessie.

And in other places overshoes are commonlycalled rubbers or India rubber, which is aboutas bad. Call these articles "overshoes." Thereis no necessity for designating the material ofwhich an article of the kind is made.

We have received not a few letters comment-ing upon the almost universal masculine habitof spitting. Our correspondent has favored uswith an account of an experience in a NewTork horse car, which we wish all the tobaccocbewers and spitters in the country wouldprofit thereby. He designates his communica-tion

OUB JTATIONAL HABIT.There were five of them; three on the opposite

side or the car and two on my side; all were uncom-fortably near, and each man was Industriouslyoccupied In decorating the floor of the vehiclewith discharges of saliva. Three were tobaccochewers, and their copious coffee-color- ed expec-torations soon made unsavory pools at their feet;the other two discharged a while saliva which wasonly a little less coplous'and nauseating than theother variety, bo persistent and so zealous werethese five men In this occupation that It looked asIf they might have been hired to sit there and spitat so much an hour.

My cheeks Uncled at first with lndlrnatlon, hutDresentlvtbe wbolethtnr bes-a- to Imnreas me aaamusing. Were not these men simply exercisingtheir natural orlvllejce of expectorating whereand as mnch as they pleased? Ihey ptld their fare;and a car Is ajjunllc vehicle In which everybodyIs as rood' as anybody else: and what la the floor

-- anyway but something to tread upon and spitupon? Tbelr reply to any protest 1 mlrnt havejnaae wouia nave oeen aavice energetically ex- -pressed to the effect that if 1 dldn' lite tbelr do- -In ;s l mlcnt get out ana walk or mretell them thai tbey were making the floor verynasty, and that everybody wh6 came In wouldhave to tread In the filth: that women's skirtswould fall into its that the right their Tares ravethem was to travel is the car and not to solllt attheir pleasure to have told them all this wouldhave excltec: their amazement and their Ire.The right to spit was to them as naturalas the right to breathe they had never doubted itand had never heard it questioned and yet thtywere not people of the lowest class. They weredressed tolerably well, and considered themselves,BO doubt, respectable citizens. But bowdld theserespectable citizens aside In their own houses?Ilia tbey cover the floors of the passages, the stair-ways, the dining room, the parlor, with stainsthat tbe most insensible would scarcely call orna-mental? Did they and their wives and theirdaughters always sit down with their feet in spoolortobaceo Juice? Ana then did they spit all daylong as persistently and energetically as they weredoing on this occasion? 1 dared not think of tbelrhomes, or follow them in their vocations to seeand bear them for a duration of ten minutes wasmore than enough.

A GROTESQUE FICTURE.And yet I was amused. I had just been reading

one of Frederick Harrison's brilliant essays onthe "Worship or Humanity" the new religionwhich makes mankind the object of worship andreverence and I thought ot humanity with a bigH as a universal tobacco chewer, as an embodiedexpression of expectoration and of worshiping It!The picture seemed a little grotesque, andirrevbrent laughter sprang to my lips.

1 am afraid that the thoucbtof man as a spltter,as a cbewer of tobacco, as a being ceaselesslyejecting unsavory streams from his mouth, is ra-tal to not a few visions of the race. "How nobleIn reason, "exclaims Hamlet, bjfbrm and mov-ing, how express .and admirable, In action how

ttiypV

like an angel. Id apprehension bow like a rod, thebeauty of the world, the paragon of animals.'This Is rerr noble, but in order to sympathizewlih It fully I must forgetniy five paragon tobaccosplltersln a Mew lore street car, and Hamletlived before the days of tobacco. In apprehensionhow like a rod that is when be seizes upon his to-

bacco poach. In action like an angel that iawhen he squirts his tobacco Juice oyer your newlypolished boots.

In truth, vile habits, like tobacco chewing andspittlnjr. kill not only virtue In those who indulgeIn thein, but in those who are compelled to witnessthem. Who can be inspired to serve humanitywhen humanity Is unsavory and disgusting In lis.radices' To din for vonr country is the old pa-

lsriotlc asuiratlon. Dvlnr for roar country uy- -lnr for other people, and If other people meansmy Are companions in the street car, with their,quids and their ejections, I shall think about It

This habit Is entirely American not merely thehabit of tobacco chewing, but the habit amongmen who do not chew Utbacco of ceaselessly spit-ting. The climate Is the cause, some say. HutAmerican women do not spit more than the

omen of other countries, and therefore climatecannot be the cause, for climate Is no respecter ofsexes, ti e 01 America are

A NATION OP SPrTTERSand are recognized as such the world over. It isnot an agreeable reputation. The spittoon is almostan unknown article elsewhere; here it is fairly anational emblem. In many parts of the countryits presence Is most revolting. 1 recall an In-

stance of an artist who was aeked to go on asketching tonr In certain districts, and who retfused because be would not travel where in hoteland car be mnst be brought in ceaseless contactwith the tplttoon and the spltter.

"Love thy neighbor as thyselfI" is the Scrip-tural Injunction. With all my heart, with onemental reservation. He xnus. not be a chewer ortobacco.

Manv complaints are made of the decline ofmanners as illustrated by the neglect of gen-tlemen when in a car to offer their seats to la-dles, which at one time they never failed to do.Is it still incumbent upon a gentleman to dothis thing?

btrictly speaking, it is, although there is agrowing feeling against it; some men excusethemselves on the ground that ladies so oftenfail to acknowledge the politeness, bnt thelackof good manners on their part scarcely excusesa lack of courtesy on our part. There is onecirenmstance, however, that goes far toward ex-

empting men from the attention which is thatveryrarelv does a woman when accompaniedby a lad direct him to vacate his seat for alady. A courtesy which women expect frommen they never, it would seem, teach theirown boys to practice. The women have thetraining of boys; it is in the household that theprinciples and practice of good manners aretaught: and hence if the young men of the pe-

riod are deficient in that courtesy towardwomen which once characterized all Americangentlemen, are not the women themselves toblame for it? Let each materfamillas teachher own bovs the obligations of cood manners.and then no materfamllias will be likely tohave occasion to complain of discourtesy fromboys or men when she goes abroad.

hands, and the production as now givenf;ood to equal that of any of Its predecessors.Jt Is safe to predict that 6My Partner" will re-

peat the big success which it did at this houseearlier In the season.

L00AL AfiT AND ARTISTS.

Miss Emma W.Patton shows a study of ahead in water colors at Mayer's. The work isso broadly handled it may almost be said to bedevoid of detail, bnt it is from life, and thereinlies Its merit, as tbe expression is very cood andit is certainly very lifelike.

The Haseltine collection has been kept inthe Hacke gallery somewhat longer than wasat first intended, but the pictureswill be removed and in their places will appearthose which form the usual exhibit, supple-mented by such new ones as may be added fromtime to time.

Two very fine nbotogravures of paintingswhioh are really masterpieces of art, are shownat Gillespie's. One is from "The Shrine otVenus," by L. Aima-Tadem- a, which exhibitstbe fine qualities that have rendered tbe fameof this master so world-wid- Tbe other is fromthe picture entitled,"Football," by W. H. Over-en-

the author ot "An August Morning WithFarragut." The large number of figures shownin this work are all excellently well drawn, andthe action cf those engaged in the struggle forthe ball is particularly strong.

At this season of the year painting in thestudio seems a wearisome task compared withthe delightful recreation which it becomeswhen a big yellow umbrella forms one of theaccessories, or better still, when the shade ofsome convenient tree may be availed of. Thesuddenness with which we have been visitedwith' periods of high temperature hit mademany of th e artists long for tbe cool breezes offorest and glade, and they are making prepara-tions to pack their sketch boxes and take totho woods. To speak of them as taking to tbewoods, however, is not as literally true at pres-ent as it has been in former times, at least notto the same extent. There has of late been amanifest disposition on tbe part of the publicto buy, and consequently on tbe part of artiststo paint, subjects in which the work of man isevident, and scenes of field and farm, cottageand roadside, such as were beretofere almostneglected are now looked for with tbe greatestinterest.

Chastises creek is a picturesque locality,and would readily furnish subjects for thebrush of Pittsburg artists without their goingvery far from home, but this is a fact of whichthey appear to be ignorant or unappreciative,since the place is so caro fully avoided Mr. E.A Poole, however, has planted his sketchingstool close by a large tree overhanging thewaters of the creek and produced a picturewhich proves that the scene forms a very ex-

cellent subject for the brush of tbe landscapepainter. The particular effect shown in thiswork is that of early morning when tbe mistsrise and hang about the trees,rendering all themore distant objects more or less mysteriousand obscure. In the drawing and coloring thework is verv rood, and in comoosition and general effectit is decidedly pleasing and attractive, but tbe handling of tbelarge tree in tbeforeground is faulty, as it Tails to show theSualitlesartist.

most characteristic of a work by a

A very pleasant and cleverly handled in-

terior shown at Boyd's is the work of Mr. D. B.'Walkley. The bright sunlight streaming in atthe window seems to indicate that tbe hour ismorning, while the occupation of the youngwoman who Is apparently engaged in the pre-paration of the midday repast would perhapsjustify the same conclusion. The picture givesthe impression of being a scene from Holland,presumably the home of a moderately well-to-d- o

peksant. This is a well composed picture,full of interest of a qniet kind, as works of itsclass by Mr. Walkley usually are, Tbe figureof the younger girl leaning idly against a table,watching her companion at work, gives thepicture an air of repose which tells of ease andcontentment with their lot in life, which is quitecharacteristic of the class of people they repre-sent. The color in this work is very good, andin the execution of detail very little fault canbe found. There is one respect, however, inwhich pictures by this artist may be consideredfair subjects for adverse criticism, and that is.that he displays a certain amount of manner- -

In f... n.nln. rf hi. Awn a in.1.n. 1.1

pictures look too much alike. This is some-thing of a fault in his works taken collectively,though it perhaps does not detract from. theartistic value of each one viewed by itself.Along with the above, Mr. Walkley also ex-

hibits a small painting which is really an ar-

tistic gem. It is about tbe smallest work thathas ever been shown by a Pittsburg artist, butit is a very complete picture, representing tbeexterior of a farm bouse, and is very effective,although on such a small scale.

. A small, collection of paintings, consistingof five works by foreign artists, have been shownat Gillespie's. These pictures are all works ofconsiderable merit, aud although limited innnmber are full of Interest and well worthy avisit from art lovers. The "Grand Canal,Venice," by F. R. Unterberger. is a good sizedpicture, keyed in a high tone of color and ofvery decorative effect Tnosewho wish to seework by an artist with an unprononnceablename will do well to inspect the picture by Z.Ajduklewlcz. Tbe subject is a mounted bunts-ma- n

winding a horn and having a number ofdogs grouped about him in various attitudes.The man and animals are seen in the midst of adreary landscape, at a time when twilight is faradvanced and the shadows of night are comingon. There is some good drawing in this work,but also some faulty coloring, especially in thepainting of the horse, where it becomes coldand hard. H. Lerolle is a n artistand the picture shown here is a good exampleof his work. It is one of his favorite subjects,a farm scene, showing a field from which thebirds are rising, disturbed by tbe approach ofthe harvesters. A splendid landscape byRlcbet is a very pleasant though slightly paint-ed work, showing some buildings partly hiddenby trees in the distance, while near the fore-ground a noble old tree bends over the road.Tbe work is very clear and strong in color. Anexcellently painted work by Milne Ramsoy con-sists of an old metal casket surrounded byroses, under which tbe hilt and part of theblade ot a sword is seen. Tne objects com--

in this last picture are very wellandled, though lacking in artistic arrange-

ment. Taken altogether the fine works, by asmany different artists, are cleverly paintedpictures, and their varied character rendersthem of considerable interest. .

A First Opening Dny, and Other Items ofEdncationnl Interest.

Last Friday was an eventful one at theSylvan avenne school, Fourteenth ward.It was opening day, the first in the historyof the school, and all conceded that thisembryotic effort was a successful one. Inthe rooms taught by the Misses Eva Conrad,M. Van Horn, Hannah Jones and H.Mays, were speclmens'of drawing and otherschool work. The boards were nicely dec-orated, and singing speeches and calisthenicsentertained the visitors, the whole reflectinggreat credit on tbe school. Miss M. E. Hunter,principal of this and the BelleQeld school, ex-pressed herself much pleased with the work.

At a meeting of tbe members who bad chargeof tbe Prosser benefit concert yesterday to re-ceive all returns, it was found that tbe total re-ceipts amounted to 11,602 15, and the committeecertainly must have been an econointnal one,for the expenses reached the modest sum ofSIS 93, leaving SI, 156 20 in tbe treasurer's hands.The committee passed a resolution thankingthe press and all who so kindly assisted themin making the benefit a success.

Programmes for memorial Day Exercisesat the Cemeteries The Orators Chosen-Ne- ws

From tbe Posts The Sons ofVeterans.

Once more are the surviving soldiers ofthe "War of tbe Rebellion called together topay well merited tribute to those of theircomrades who survived not tbe cruel shotand shell, the murderous bayonet and thelong and health-destroyi- marches, and tothose whom tbe Great Commander hascalled since they went bravely forth to die,if necessary, for the preservation of thisglorious nation. This solemn, sad, yetbeautiful custom of decorating thegraves of fallen comrades, originatedin the South, a year or two afterthe war, and the Idea was taken np and urgedupon tbe Grand Army of the Republic byCommander-in-Chie- f John A Logan. It is asad thoughf that there will be more graves todecorate each succeeding year and fewer vet-erans to take part in the exercises. The num-ber of deaths of Grand Army men in this vi-

cinity has been unusually large the past win-ter. Aye, the ranks are beginning to rapidlythin out. Let us all unite in honoring thosewho now sleep peacefully beneath the sod andthose who are jet numbered with the living, towhom we are indebted for this "land of thefree and home of the brave."

Story of a Famous Robbery and anSearch for Treasure.

A GREAT SECEET, CAEEEULLX GUABDED

fSPICIAL TXLXOBAX TO TEX SISFATCS.1

Bufpaxo, May 25. The secret of buriedtreasure that is said to have laid undis-

turbed forthe past 35 years within a fewmiles of Buffalo came to the knowledge ofyonr correspondent this week. It has beenkept a close secret in one family during allthese years and now has descended as a her-

itage to a resolute young man who has de-

termined to unearth it. He does not chooseto tell its exact location, for fear othersmight get there before him, nor yet does hewish his nsme published, lest if he fail inthe enterpnse he should be laughed at.

The amount of the treasure, he says, is$100,000 in gold, placed in an iron chest orbox, and the story of how it got there andseveral attempts made to unearth it, is astrange one, as told by the present custodian of the secret. He said:

About 35 years ago 5100,000 in gold was senton a Central train to Buffalo, consigned to theHolland Land Company. The express mes-senger and the gold were missing when thetrain reached Buffalo. The gold was neverfound, and though the most dUllgent searcbwas made, no trace of the messenger could bodiscovered. That Is ail tbe public as yet knewabout It. From several sources I have corrobo-ration that tbe money and messenger weremissine. Five years later a man named Ernst,a German living at Black Bock, received aletter from Germany from the missing mes-senger. The two were friends. In the letterthe messenger confesstd that he had stolen themoney, that be had buried it, made bis wayto New York and then to Germany, expect-ing to return and unearth the treasureafter such time bad elapsed as would make itsafe for him to do so. But be fell sick and wason nis deathbed when the letter was writtenand be told Ernst he could have tbe buriedtreasure for the digging. He gave directionswhere to find it. mentioning a certain railroadcrossing near which it could be found.

TBE BTJBIED BOX.

Ho said it was in an iron box or chest,that it was very heavy and that he bad rolledIt out of the car door and down a t emDant.mentastbe train was speeding along. After-ward he got off the trajn and buried the boxwhere it lay at the foot of the embankment.Not to be too exact about it, tbe spot is op theline of the Central Railroad between 10 and 20miles from Buffalo.

Ernst decided that It was an enterprise inwhich two persons could work to better ad-vantage than one, and be come uptown andconsulted my uncle, Jacob Benzlno. who thenlived on Swan street. They talked it over andagreed to start for tho spot early next morn-ing. Ernst bad a long, sharp iron rod, withwhich be intended to probe the earth in tbevicinity of the buried box. He left this stand-ing outside my uncln's door ana started forhome at Black Bock. He was smoking a pipeas he walked. It was dark and be fell into anopen trench or sewer, partially stunning him,and as he lay there the fire in his pipe set bisclothes In flames. His burns and injuries fromfalling were so severe that he died next day.The letter was found in his breast pocket,partially burned. It fell into tbe possession ofmy nncle. who eagerly examined it, only tofind that some of tho minute directions wereeffaced. He could still come pretty close tothe spot, however.

THE PIBSI SEABCH.

Five years went by before he gave it a trial.My father came here from tbe East and tbetwo talked it over together. Tbe result wasthat my nncle, aunt and father started on tbefirst search ever made for the gold. Theyfound the railroad crossing all right, and following the incomplete direction" as well asihey could, fixed upon a spot to die for tbetreasure. Thoy failed to find it. Thoroughlydiscouraged, they gave up the quest and returned home. But the thought of that goldhaunted our people. My nncle died duringthe war, and the secret fell to my father'sbranch of tbe family alone. It was oftentalked over, and when my brothers came to besome size it was decided to try once more.

PEIQHTENED BT AN APPAB1TIOHV

A second attempt was made ten years ago.'My father, two brothers and a brother-in-la-

made up the party. They heard of an-ol- mansomewhere who had an instrument by whichhe could tell where gold was located. Therewas a ringer in the instrument which revolvedso that it could point in any direction. I'veheard that some gold diggers use such things.Tbe party got this old man to go along, and tbefinger pointed to a spot onUhe north side of therailroad track, directly opposite where thedigging was done on tbe first search. Theybegan digging It was night time, and you canimagine thatTney all felt nervous.

My father hid gone with tbe lantern to look tothe horses, which were np tbe track a bit, whensuddenly a vfcice was beard calling to tbe dig-gers. Theylooked up and saw a man standingbeside tbcrf. Not a sound bad told of his ap-proach, ana after a minute or two be vanishedaway In the darkness Some ot the party whowere superstitious thought the man was aghost, abd being nervous enough already, tbesearchwas given up.

( THE LAST VATJT 8EAECH.

A:year ago last summer 1 drove out with myfather and the old man to the spot and took alook at tho surroundings. We found that anadditional track bad been laid, and that itcovered tbe burying place of the gold. Wetried tbe old man's instrument in every way,and every time it pointed to tne spot wnere tneparty had dug before. We were satisfied thatthe money was there, but we hesitated aboutdigging under the Tail road track. I'm not surethat we could get permission to do so, thoughit could be done without injuring the track.

The young man reitered bis determinationto make immediate search for --he treasure.Old residents here remember the great robberyreferred to.

NATIONAL GUARD NOTES.

GAPTAIjr AMRED E. HUNT, Of this City,left for Europe yesterday. He expects to begone several months.

General Hastings, in his report, toucheson the subject of dress uniforms just enoughto show that he favors distinctive uniforms foreach regiment. The question is bow be will doIt on S7o,ou0.

ham street, at 7:30 A. M. on ThursdayMay 30, to act as escort to Post 151, G. A B.Other members of tbe regiment who desire toparticipate can report at the same time andplace.

The Adjutant General's report for last yearspeaks of tbe fact that the Second andEighteenth Regiments have the poorest quar-ters in the State. Tbe armory of the SecondBegiment Is well under way for construction;now what's the matter with the Eighteenthdoing business also?

Colonel Bona FFOit,of the Third Begiment,has made application to Division Headquart-ers for the privilege of marching his regimentto camp at Mount Gretna this summer. Thbdistance is a little ovur 100 miles, and he ex-pects to cover tbe ground in about tour days.Tbe idea is pretty wel thought of, and theprivilege will probably De granted.

The Eighteenth Begiment rifle range atHigh Bridge is almost completed, and will beready for use this week. On Decoration DayCompany E will be on the grounds. Tbe rangeis well located, within ten minutes ride of tbeCltV. and it la flTTMtrtArl tf,A th. rttflHmAn v41tbo able to make a good showing this season Ingarget practice, something that very little at- -

Company K, ofManfleld, will be on the range andCompany G on Decoration Day.

Tbe spring inspections in this end of theState closed last nlgbt with Companies H andB, of the Eighteenth Regiment. The regimentas a whole showed up pretty well, the followingbeing the strength per company: A, 53 men 3officers; B, 45 men 3 officers; C. 60 men 3 officers;0,42 men 2 officers; E. 60 men 3 officers; F, 44men 2 officers; G, 64 men 3 officers; H. 45 men 1officer; L 57 men 3 officers. The guard dutiesas performed in the different companies wasvery good; the skirmish drill, however, was butfair, except in two or three instances.

Battsbt B had 64 men and five officers inline last Wednesday night for the annualspring inspection of the organization. CaptainHamilton, assisted by Lieutenant Bean, wispresent to do tbe rating, and it it safe to saythe battery will be woraed pretty high, asaside from the fact that all tbe artillery ma-neuvers possible in tbe space of the hall weregone through in an excellent manner, the meapresented a clean and neat appearance- - Quitea. large number of ladies and visitors werepresent to witness the ceremony, and every-body seemed well pleased with the showingmade. After the inspection an election washeld for Captain and Senior First Lieutenant;tha commissions of Messrs. Hnnt and Bheperdhaving expired by limitation. The latter waseiectea unanimously, captain Hunt, however,bad an opponent in John D.Watson. But one ballot was required, tbvote standing 43 to 21 in favor of Hunt,

Lieutmtaut Bean, of the regular army,who has been assisting hi tbe inspections of thaguard in this State, speaks very favorably oftbe appearance made by the Second Brigade sofar; He criticises the miserable quarters ofthe companies in this city very severely, and issurprised that an attendance of men can bogotten under the circumstances. In speakingof tbe inspection of Battery B, last Wednesdaynieht, be makes a point which Captain Huntshould bear inrmlnd, and that is the remark-ably poor condition in which the Galling gunis kept, and the fact that not more than two orthree of tbe members of the organization knbwhow to use tbe instrument. Lieutenant Beanis an artillery officer and is presumed to know .

what he is talking about, and be expressesamazement that the only piece of artillery thabattery would prooably ever need in case ofriot duty, should be kept in such unserviceablecondition.
