George Francis Train recently sent to Representative Sulzer, of New York, an invitation to attend his reception at Mills' I'alace hotel, and in one cor ner of the invitation was printed: "No tablecloths, wines, cards, flowers, airs', fads, fakes or cranks, but bon vivants and cordial welcome." The American troops in the revolu tion numbered 309,781, in the war ol 1812, 556,622, in the Mexican war 112,230, in the civil war 2,778,304. The force varied, but it was always large enough to win the victory. And so it will be in this war. If the 250,000 are not enough, there are plenty more where those caine from.

The increased foreign demand for American hog products is another com mercial sign of the times. The general officers and a large num ber of national secretaries of depart ments and state officers of the Non partisan National Woman's Christian Temperance union have issued a cir cular letter to the presidents and facul ties of American colleges urging the importance of guarding their students from the temptations of drink and vice. Maj. Gen. M. C. Butler, of South Caro lina, who lost his field glasses at the battle of Brandy Station, in 1863, as well as a leg, was greatly surprised and pleased the other day to get the field glasses back again, they having been restored to him by Mrs. Kemper, of Virginia. "The last time 1 used these," said the general, "I was a confederate oflicer; now lama Yankee officer." Ex-President Harrison, in speaking of the American navy recently, said: "I consider the American navy, ship for ship, gun for gun, and man for man, un equaled by any navy in the world. The courage and daring of our men, the personnel of the officers of senate except seven votct known whether she returned the fire, but the shore batteries opened and one 6-incli shell fell on the Indiana's forward deck, exploding below. The explosion occurred in the men's sleeping rooms, but all were at quarters and no one was hurt. Xo other American ship was hit during the engagement, which lasted only a few minutes. I'rlKonoru Mutinied and Were Shot. Washington, July 7. —A special dispatch to the Evening Star, dated off Santiago, via Port Antonio, Ja maica. July 6. says:"After the de struction of the Spanish fleet some 450 of the men on the Maria Teresa were placed as prisoners on the Har vard. For some reason not yet ascertained these men mutinied. The officers and crew of the Harvard were not unprepared, however, and the mutineers were fired upon. Six Spaniards were killed outright and 12 were wounded.
