Firing by Company.
From the indianapolis News.


On one occasion Colonel Doan of the
One Hundred and First Indiana made an
effort to have all the regiment to fire off
their guns together After taking great
pains to dress them into line, he rode
down the front and gave special in
structions for every man to be slow and
deliberate. He said he would be care
full to give everyone time, and he wanted
every man to fire at the word of COM
mand, and see how near they could all
come to discharging their guns together.
When he was ready he rode back, and
after taking a calm survey of the regi-
ment, he gave command. s'Make
readyp' Ga long pause);" Take aim!''
(another long pause, during which some
one, by accident, fired his gun; next, two
Or three more went of, then the whole
regiment commenced; some of the boys
supposed he had said Fire!" and they
had not heard it. So it was sput! bangl
then bang! up and down the whole line,
bang! bang! going off one at time, and
eight or ten at a time). The colonel sat
calmly on his horse until the last gun
was fired, then with a loud voice he yell

when q lovely creature of seventeen,
with o face and form which might have
served as model for Apelles when he
painted his exquisite picture of Venus,

was no other than the Lady of Bagatelle,
who had SO long excited the curiosity of
the Parisians, her ravishing face being
concealed by frightful and ingenously-
fashioned mask. Her object in yelling
those charming features from the gaze
of the world was, to secure partner who
would not seek to marry her on account
of the accidental advantages of wealth
and beauty alone, but for her own in

Camille darcy she obtained such a part

Hollanders.
From Good Words. !

Farmers and farmers wives and
daughters in Holland do not go with the
times, their manners, customs, and cos
tunes are the same as their grandfathers
before them, and quite good enough
they consider them to be for them. The
old silver handed down to them is priced.

than any modern work; as they keep to
the same form In their boats, 50 In their
outline of dress. We heard one farmer
described as being little foppish, be-
cause he had g boat built few inches
less in beam than the old pattern gener-
ally, and the number Of petticoats worn
by farmers wives is as unalterably kept
to as the law of the Modes and Persians
We found two characteristics In the Zee
landers. They carried silver-handled
knives in a special pocket on the right
side, the handle much ornamented and
rather of yataghan form, with blade
of about seven inches, and their hair is
cut square right across the forehead
The houses are painted here with blue
and red distemper outside around the
door; the shutters, green with white
panels, giving a remarkably bright look;
especially as the crockery of Holland is
so beautiful in color, particularly some
of the tones Of green glaze, and their
varieties of brass work and cooking uten-
sis perfectly endless.

A THRILLING "Reminiscences.

The following scrap of history is told
by the Alta California;: In 1911 the
Tonquin, one of John Jacob Astor's fur
ships, commanded by Captain Thorn,
lost eight men IN endeavoring to pass
Columbia riverbar in boats, to reach the
site they had selected for Astoria. After
ward, on Vancouver. Island, Thorn an
gered party of Indians who had visited
the Tonquin TO sell furs. In the ensu-
ing fierce conflict the savages killed every
man On board except Lewis, the ship's
clerk, an Indian interpreter, and five
sailors, who hid in the cabin. After the
Indians left four men escaped to the
shore, but were all caught and massa
cred. Lewis and the interpreter remain
ed on the vessel and wreaked VEN
geance on the savages worthy of thee elias
sic ages. They deeoyed the Indian
back again, and while the deck wa
swarming with savages, fired the maya
zine, and the ship was blown to atoms.
Lewis and more than hundred natives
persisted, but the interpreter was thrown
in the water unhurt-a miraculous es-
cape.
