It goes with out saying that no little pleasure was excited at the jevenile efforts that parents note with exquisite delight while others whose hearts go not out toward the dear little folks would regard them with some in difference. The songs, and es- ially the duet ', were very ditable.

Joseph Wheeler'sM decision to resi n his seat m ' - . . Conzress and retain his commis- CJ svon in the army niav have an- other significance than that which ' I he gives it in a published inter view. "I prefer the army life to the life of a membei of Congress," says the General. Has not this fine old soldier earned the grati- tude of his country by his mes-. timable services to it as a wearer of the blue, and should his coun- try be slow to recognize them Honors and emoluments on jo Bubstantially ? Surely there is no seph Wheeler, the American sol- more patriotic officer in the army today than Joseph Wheeler. It must always be remembered that when on the night of July 1 it was proposed to retire from San J uan ridge and occupy a position that could be defended with less risk to the army, Gen. Wheeler protested with such vigor that the 'Tomorrow, acceding to the fore plan was abruptly, abandoned. ;ca3t wiU be fdi with ' wider tern Had he thrown the weieht of his Perature.

There no other man of any rank in e-&aritiaeo' campaign who could "'measure careers with him. and all to veteran a of the War nf - fho febellion paid him homage for nis experience and prestige. it is deliciously humorous of en. Wheeler to say; "Although some little discussion has been raised as to my age, I hope to be ow enough soon to make a good soldier.' J03eph Wheeler was Graduated from the Military Anad-1 emy m 1859, being then 23 years age. When his State by adoption seceded and Wheeler re- signed from the army, he was ap- pointed colonel of the 19th Ala- bama, an infantry regiment. In the national army ho had served as a dragoon. At Shiloh he com manded a brigade and covered the retreat of tho Confederates. He was transferred to the cavalry in July, 1862. About six months later, ana at tno age ot iw, iie was promoted to bo a mujor-general. -- , : silrv 'and nrnasnn cr th a TflirnfiSBflfi - . - jj o after that battle he Jiamcd Rose- crans, beat a force sent against him and destryed i200 tr" portation wagons, with their stores.
