Monitor sheered wildly, Juggling vic
iOusly at the iron cable connecting
her with the Rhode Island. Com
mander Bankhead watched with
anxious heart the behavior of his
craft noting with considerable con-
cern that as the Monitor rose to the
swell the fiat under surface of the
prQjetting armor would come down
withgreat force, causing a consider
able Stock to vessel and turret. Sev-
eral tlnes the Rhode Island was SIG
naled 70 stop, in hopes that the Mon
itor would make better weather, but
the eommander's hopes were des-
tined p meet with bitter disappoint-
meut At 1920 o'clock at night the
comnlander, finding the pumps un-
g1lnS - Ne task Of keeping-the YES
sci etiar, and in view OF the water
gaining momentarily, the signal of
distress pr evDusly agreed upon was
given to the Rhodc EIaad and
promptly answered. Ranging close
alongside, commander Bankhead in
formed commander $. d. Trcnchard
of the true state of affairs existing on
the M0pitor and requested him to
send boats to take the crew off.
Two boats, in charge of Acting En-
sign Taylor and Acting Masters
Mate ID. r. Brown, succeeded in
gaining the side of the Monitor and
the transfer of the crew commenced.
This was Il dangerous and difficult
undertaking. The huge iron hull
rolling and plunging madly, the
combing seas breaking furiously over
the entire structure rendered the
movements on both sides extremely
slow, tempered with precision and
caution. 1t was now all but impos-
sible to leave the turrct, the seas
breaking with great violence against
that structure, and it is supposed
that a number of the crew, in the
darkness and confusion, were washed
overheard. Close upon midnight the
engines ceased to work, the water
putting out the fires, and the Monitor
falling off into the trough Of the sea
rendered ii more hazardous than
ever for the rcscuing boats to VEN
ture near. The deck was submerged
and above the mass of iron Cddicd
and whirled waste Of fOam-ncckcd
seas, their white crests upheaving in
the hlackness of the night with start
ling distinctncSs. There was now
about thirty men left on board, some
Of whom were washed overheard to
find watery grave. Richard An
gier, a qulrtermastcr, remained at
his post at the wheel when the YES
sci LIr;,, sinking and when ordered
ny EiStommInurr to ret iuto the
boat rtplid, "No, sir; not till you 60"
Soon after reaching the RhOdc E'and
the Monitor with a heavy lunge dis
forever. Upon mastering
the officers and men on hoard the
RhOdc RldRd four officers and twelve
men were found to be missing. The
attention Of the Admiral and depart
mcnt was directed by the command
cr to the bravery and GOODNESS Of
Lieutenant Greene, who remained
on board to the last and by his cx-
ample and bearing was largely in
strumental in rescuing the men and
preventing panic.
Thus, briefly skctchcd, are the
facts pertaining TO the origin, combat
and fate Of the most remarkable ma
val craft ever invented by She gem

The carrying of the mail between
 Constantinople and Bagdad is in

 the Tartars, who all share by turn
 Tn It's profits and dangers. As the
 cavalcade passed at furious gallop,
 all mounted on the finest horses,
 there comes first a guard of six Tar tars armed to the teeth with yata- ghaus and pistols, with loaded and
 cooked rife slipped beneath their left leg; then comes the squad of horses lsshed four abreast, with the mail bags secured on each side; two or three more squads of guards sur round and follow the mail bags while the procession is closed by the chief in picturesque costume, smok- ing the inevitable cigarette, but never losing single man, horse or mail bag from his sight an instant. The trip occupies thirty five days, riding hard day and night, through countries often infested with bandits, but no mishap has ever yet occurred, although the mail is known to con
 tain drafts sent by merchants in Europe to Bagdad and the places east. The Tartars have always had the privilege of carrying it, and they are said to be the modern realization of the centaur, as man and horse seem actually to form one being as they fash past. They are also shar 1 Ing the usual good fortune of star reuters and accumulatins wealth. San Diego Sun.

Remington Monument.
From the Brat,leboro Reformcr.l


The work OF getting design for the mon
ument is going on slowly, but we believe
surely. Responsible parties have, within the
past week, we understand, offered to build
monument 800 feet high and in accordance
with the idea Of Prof. Hoppin of the Yale
College Free Art School, of Mr.. Thomas
Allen, the artist, and of Mr.. Ohm l.. Warner,
the sculptor, and of Prof. Perry Of Williams
College. The two last are members of the
ASSOCIATION, and have a voice in the final de-
cis,on. The directors, as is well known, at
their last meeting decided to ascertain the
cost of such structure as this, and it is now
learned that this cost will come within the
limits the association have set for their mon
ument to cost. The parties Offering and
there are more than one are abuudantly able
peculiarly and professionally, TO carry out
whavever they undertake. After the walls
Of such structure are completed, and the
| staircase and elevator in, the association are
still likely to have funds left with which to
add staiuary and historical tablets, as has
been heretofore suggested. 1t will take at
| least three seasons to erect this "tower-like
structure" and meantime the word of raising
money for the statuary can go on. This Is
precisely the way other associations of this
character have worked. The Bennington
association has money enough to begin mon
ument building now. 1t should do so with
out delay.

in Virginia was happy one. The camp at
Winchester was broken carly this morning and
going aboard the cars we came to Harrison
burg. A large committee composed of cx-
Confederates and soldiers met us some 20
miles from this place and accompanied the
party. A large cpncourse Of people greeted
the veterans AMI there was the greatest OF
enthusiasm. Speeches Of welcome were
made and the reponse of Col. Wright OF our
party captured the hearts of ALL The banquet
was fine one and the ringing words of
loyalty to the Union and commentator of
the bravery of American citizens OF both
armies, were received with cheers and en-
thusiasm. AT 5p. m. the veterans were
escorted to the depot by the soldiers of the
Tenth Virginia regiment aud host of cti-
zens The train moved off amid the shouts
OF the people and the cheers of the depart
ing visitors.
The Valley of the Shenandoah as it ap-
pears at present is very attractive and tue
people who live there are proud OF its re-
sources and declare ii is the garden of Vir-
gnia" il not of the whole country. 1t is
very fertile and the soil has abundant rich
ness which produces large and abundant
crops. Mountain ranges skirt either side
which must attract the rains, and there arc
rivers which by and by must be utilized to
drive the busy wheels of industry. Fruits
grow in great variety and this year the trees
bend under their loads Peaches are so
abundant that it hardly is profitable to gath
er. Pears, apples and grapes are found in
great abundance. We saw fields of corn
grown TO height of IA and Is feet high.
The land is very favorable for wheat and
produces 25 to 30 bushels to the aero. AS
yet manufacturing has not found a home
here, but during the next ten years capital
will be attracted to the Shenandoah to
use the water power and transportation which
IS SO accessible. The people who live
in this valley expressed themselves as deslr-
Gus that Northern men with capital should
come here and assist in building up manu-
featuring Interests. The SUCCESS in Northern
Georgia has attracted their attention and
hops were expressed that soon capital would
come with Northern skill. There can be no
doubt that great industries will even ually
be found in this valley. The people seem
truly loyal to the Union and the old bitter
ness is fast dying out until now warm hearts
aud hands are ready To welcome Northern
people to come and settle Into the Snenan-
dOah.
The trip has been very enjoyable one
and the visit to the old battle fields, and the
kind hospitality received from the people,
will long be remembered by the members Of
our party.

ACCIDENT TO THE REINDEER.
Breaking of the Walking Beam-Thc
Vessel Disablcd-rOwedi Into Port by
the steamer Williams,

Friday morning while the steamer Rein
deer WAS making her regular TRIP from
Ladd's To this city, bang about three miles
this side of Port Kent without the slightest
warning the forward or cylinder end of
the walking beam broke, releasing the
piston aud piston rods which fell
TO the starboard, smashing in the sides
of one of the life boats, and finally rest
ing On the steampipe and the hurricane deck.
The cylinder top was badly br' ken, as were
also the slides, cross head gbs, aud many
other parts of less Importance. AT the time
of the accident Captain Rockwell was in the
pilot house, and an instant before hearing the
crash he felt Il tremor in The vessel and I'M
medlately sprang 10 the door and opened it,,
when he was greeted by several
pieces of iron, which fell up
on the deck near him. lie i'm
mediately saw the necessity of shutting
of the steam from the cylinder, but on
reaching the saloon deck he perceived that
the engineer had anticipated him and had
shut or the steam within half minute of
the time of the crash, aud while the iron WAS
yet falling into the enginc'room. Forlu-
nately the engineer was standing just
outside of his room when several large
pieces fell into the room, crashing aud break
ing things generally. The accident was due
TO flaw in the wrought iron band which sur
rounds the frame of he beam aud which
could not have been discovered by nspec ion.
A few minutes after the accident the A. Will
hams came up and towed her into Post Kent
aud brought her to this city on her return in
the afternoon. 1t was indeed fortunate that
no one was AT all injured, no one, indeed, be-
ing even seriously frightened by the crash.
and there was nothing approaching u panic
by either passeugers-of whom the mum
Der was smaller than usual-or crew.
Some amusement was created by
one of the gentlemen attempting to climb
over the backs of Il drove of cattle which had
beel received at Plattsburgh, still cliDging
to large and handsome bouquet which he
had in his hand. The accident is one for
which no one can be at all blamed, nor could
1t have been foreseen or prevented. The loss
can not as yet be definitely stated. Estimates
vary from 50, 900 10 $4,000. The repairs
will probably be made here at her wharf,
but can not be completed in time for any
more running this season.

vileges of our "Ilome for destitute children
She eagerly exerted her influence to remove
them thither. Last week they came. The
mysteries of hair cutting and bath tub, with
clean bed and clothing were their first nights

observer could only express profound thank
fulness for them, and desire for others th,
