A! Berlin Special to the: New

of The Siberian Advertiser, which
Imnihflen mailed here contains a
ter from a well-known Kussian
ftllr hnnter named Jalin, wno is a
personal acquaintance of the
editor of the paper. Jalin says
that he went on snow-shoes to
hunt elk; in the primeval forest
south of he Yenisei.
When 250 yersts from Krasnoy-
arsFand 100 from San Vmich
crrtld washincs on the Pit river he

IMFOKTANT TO VETERANS.
Prepare for tne innrleston flennlon.
The Generaly Assembly by a
i
rising vote has extended a formal
invitation and the freedom
of the
State of South Carolina
tOi tne t
surviving Confederates to attend
the ninth grand reunion of the
"United . Confederate Veteran's
Association to be held in Charles- j
ton on May lUth, 11th; rztii
and 13tb. M
This is the place w
ere
the
war
opening guns of that great
were firod at 4.30 o'olook
a. m,
which
April 12, 1861 and against
the American 1 navy of that day
strove in vain. It was one of the
grand objective points of rithe
Federal arms! that only fell when
Gen. ; Sherman penetrated' the
south from its rear. Only Bich
mond has a richer record iof un
yielding defense in those days,
dark under the clouds of war but
sparkling with deeds of heroism
and illnmnmed with the fires of
Southern chivalry. There could
hardly have been1, a better; t selec
tion of a place j than Charleston
and no better time for the corafort
of the veterans could have been
chosen. i " .''-
There is a point to which we
call the attention of veterans,
howeyer, which is that section 5
uf article 5 of the constitution
says, "Camps shall not be1 allowed
representation unless their per
capita shall have been paid to the
adjutant general on or before the
first day of April next proceeding
the annual meeting." M t r !
This time you see is . but one,
month off. It is well enough to
attend to this very little matter
at. once. The Cabarrus veterans
will want to .go to Charleston by
all means and it is desirable to
have o ur f ull q uata of j delegate
and the camp in good and regular
standing, f ;
