Hulings, who commands this fine organization, comes of an old Pennsylva- nia family, which settled on the Delaware in 1660, and is the son of Marcus Hulings, whose reputatir as an “oil man” is well known in Pennsylvania. The colonel is thirty-eight years of age, thus having been too young at the time of the breaking out of the rebellion to take any art in the strife His later achievements have been in the forum rather than the field, and he is regarded as one of the rising political stars of Pennsylvania. He is a republican, served four terms in the state legislature, and is fre- tba mentioned as the probable successor of ion. L. F. Watson, the present representative of the twenty-seventh congressional district of Pennsylvania. Colonel Hulings takes great pride in the gallant sixteenth, and cannot say too much in its praise, The Eighteenth Regiment. For the fourth time the eighteenth infantry, N. G. P., of Pittsburg, also comes to Washing- ton to participate in the ceremonies attending the inauguration of a president.
