There are 4, 1000, 600 farms in this coun
try, and of that number nearly three
fourths are owned by those who cult
vate them. Many of these, however, are
owned by capitalists, and contain thou
sands of acres, aud can scarcely be
called the property of the working class.
Still, Notwithstanding the fact that there
are some large farms, especially in the
West, they are quite in the minority, and
by far the largest portion of the farming
acreage of the country is divided into
farms of small acreage, that are titled by
hard working farmers.

that its supremacy is necessary for the

PUSHING INTO THE WILDERNESS.

Charles B. Brockway late Captain, Battery F First Pa
Artillery, in Philadelphia Times.
Grants Rapidan movement began on the Sd
of May few days later than Hooker had begun
his Charlottesville mo cement, and six weeks
later than Mcclellan his campaign of lS62. The
utmost caution was observed to prevent the
enemy from discovering our movements, and no
huts OF other material were allowed TO be burned
as that would attract the enemys attention
Just before starting appropriate order from
General Meade was read to the troops. 1t was
temperate in tone and avoided the bombast
generally used on such occasions During the
night the army was massed at different fords on
the Rapidan, ready to push over on the appear
ance of daylight On Wednesday, the 4th, our
corps-Hancocks at Ely's Ford with
out opposition. We were all surprised at this
because the river formed SPLENDID line of de-
Tense. Lee was evidently saving his army for
hard work elsewhere. Our road took us over
the Charlottesville battle-ground and by a
wonderful coincidence we parked our battery
on the same ground where exactly one year
before we were in line of battle engaging the
enemy. The spot was full of interest, as at this
point battery after battery had been massed, the
OF logs, knapsacks, dead horses, limber-chests
and whatever came to hand. Here the gallant
Whipple fell, and here the enemy made so many
desperate attempts to break our lines A few
hundred yards to the front were the ruins of the
Chancellor House, and over the whole country
was scattered the usual debris of battlefield
The enemy had leveled the intrenchments after
Hooker's retreat.
The troops were in motion at daylight of
Thursday, the 9Th. The day was fine. though
intensely hot. Our corps, leaving the main road
marched in a southerly direction, passing by
furnace and some ore mines We soon halted
and formed line of battle, but shortly afterwards
countermarched and formed on the left of the
Fifth Corps, already in position on the Brock
road, which cut the Orange plank road at right
angles. A. P. Hills corps was in our immediate
front, and it soon became evident that we must

miles and is called "The Wilderness"
With instructive haste the men began con-

logs, planks torn from the road, in fact, any
thing that would stop a bullet. The pioneer
corps was busily engaged in slashing trees in
front of the work, either to give play to some

THE KINGS QUESTION.
BY MRS. E. V. WILSON.

The King sat at the feast with clouded brow
Silent were all the courtiers seated round;
Sudden he spoke: Let who will tell me now,
OF fe's dread ills which is the most profound?'
Then quickly answered one, gray-bearded. wise:
80 King, the greatest of all ills is DEATH
But the King said, uplifting his sad eyes:
How gladly would yield this mortal breath"
Another said: " The worst to of all
Would be the loss of power wealth. or place."
"Ah," said the King, how light were such fall"
And wan smile moment lit his face
Then quoth third The keenest pang feel
When friend proves false in whom have believed"
Adown the Kings cheek slowly tears did steal
AS answered he: Il have been thus deceived
but there's a deeper Did you speak, frend?"
Turning to one, youth, clear-eyed and tall
"I-ah, my liege, said the saints defend
The King from that profoundest woe of ALL
And CHASTITY grew the wilderness of his face
AS the youth answered, bowling low: 81 trow
The greatest ill to proud men is disgrace
The King silent for space, then took
With trembling fingers from his hand ring,
''Wear this )" he said, and death was in his look
OF all fe's ills shame has the sharpest sting"
Let not my absence mar your feast / pray;
The youth is right, disgrace" He backward fell
The King is dead the awe-struck courtiers say.

THE PRICELESS THINGS.
BY JOHN BOYLE o'REILLY.

Those are vulgar things pay for be they stones for
crowns of kings;
While the precious and the peerless are unprced SYM
bOlic things
Common debts are scored and Cancelled, weighed and
measured out for gold;
But the debts from to ages their account
told.
Always see the nobest nations keep their highest prize
unknown:
Ch@roneas lion frowned above unlettered stone
Marathon and Balakava-who shall mete the worth of
these?
Shall huckster with our ifeboas that defy the leap
ing seas?
All the Greeks knew Came their victors honored from
the sacred games,
Under arches red with roses flushed their
ed names.
See their native cities take them breach the wall to
make gate!
What reward is theirs who bring such honors
TO their State?
In the forum stand they proudly their prizes from
the priest:
Little wreaths of pine and parsley on their naked
pies pressed
We in later days lower? Ay manful stroke is
made.
And raise a purse to pay it-making mauliness
trade.
Sacrifice itself grows venal-surely Midas will subscriber
And the shallow souls satisfied when worth accepts
the bride.
But cen here amid the markets there things they
dare not fize;
Dollars hide their sordd faces when they meet amounted
eyes.
Lovers do seek with jewels; flowers alone plead
for them;
And fragrant memory cherished is far dearer than
gem.
Statesmen the nation safely artists pass the burn
ing test
And their country pays them proudly-with ribbon at
the breast.
When the soldier the battle, wraps the flag around
his heart
Who shall desecrae his honor with the values of the
mart
From his guns of bronze hew piece and it
For the gain he gave priceless as unprced would
be the loss.
When the poet sings the love song and the song of life
and death,
Making millions cease their weary toll and wait with
wondering breath;
When he gds the mill and mine inspires the slave
rise and dare;
Lights with love the hopeless garnet tells the tyrant to
beware;
When he steals the pang from poverty, with meanings
and clear
Reconciing pain and peace and bringing blessed Wis
ions near;
His reward? Nor ribbon, but all others high
above,
They may wear their splendid synbos-he has earned
the peoples love!

FEMALE SOLDIERS.

Female soldiers have been more numerous in
foreign armies than in the English service. In
the French army, for instance there were (amOng
others Louise HOussaye de Bannes, who served
from 1892 to 1895, and was at QuiberOn; Ange-
lique BrulCn NEE Duchemin for she was married,)
Sous, lieutenant of infantry, and decorated
with the Legion of Honor, who was born in 1772,
and died, l believe, in the Invalides about 1859
Theresa Figneur, who served as dragon for
fourteen years from 1898 to 1912, and had four
horses killed under her. She died in 1861 at the
age of seventy-eight in the HOspices des Petit
Manages at Paris. Virginia Chesnieres who serv-
ed during the Peninsular War as Sergeant in
the Twenty-seventh regiment and died in 1873.
Louisa Scanagatti was a lieutenant of infantry
in the Austrian or Sandman army during the
NapoleOnic wars. Marietta Giuliani and Her
minia ManelG fought under Garibaldi in 1866.
Herminia was at the battle of Custozza. Angus
ia Krilger fought in the of liberation against
the French as subaltern in the Ninth Prussian
regiment, and was decorated with the Iron Cross
and the Russian Order of ST. George. She latter

THE GRAND ARMY.

Griff j. Thomas, Past Commander, Department
of Wisconsin, G. A. r., closed his address, at the
Campfire of W. II. Sargent Post, No. 20, with
the following eloquent and touching peroration
This is the Grand Army of the Republic
band of comrades united by ties which death
alone can sever Over one half of the survi-
vors of the war have already been mustered into
its ranks, and the remainder are rapidly gath
ering in Our comIadeship is all the Closer and
our communion more vivid by reason that
our organization is not perpetual. Every year
more than ten regiments stack their arms pile
their colors, and march down into that dark
valley whose shadows envelop them forever from
mortal vision. In a few short years only fee
BILE remnant will be left, but we will preserve
our bond of union and close up the broken
ranks, until the last quorum of the youngest
drummer boys in the service then, stricken with
age shall gather round the holy altar fires of our
encampment, and with trembling hands replen-
ish the dying embers. Then reverently saluting
the Old Flag once more, with streaming eyes and
throbbing hearts they will surrender their char
ter to the Grand Commander of the Universe in
whose sign they conquered, and sadly disperse to
the ways appointed for all the living.
This is the Grand Army of the Republic as
sembled here tonight, rejoicing with you in the
magnificent destiny of our common country
now unrolling before your vision. The clash of
resounding arms has melted away into the hum
of healing and enriching industry. Political
parties will rise and fall, leaders wax and wane;
but so long as the patriotism of the American
soldier is enshrined in the hearts of our children,
the Union shall endure; the foundation of our
Republic will stand until the heavens are rolled
together as a scroll, and the stars of the firma-
ment fall from their places, and our Star
Spangled Banner shall forever float, the emblem
of a country worth living for, worth fighting
for worth dying for

c. NJ. Spencer, of Hartford, inventor of the
"Spencer rifle" has invented single-barrel re-
peating shotgun capable of shooting ten times
in five seconds. The cartridges stored in a

gentle movements of the left hand will expel

An enthusiastic reporter says the sportsman,
without disturbing his aim, can make these
movements with the gun at his shoulder
