veteran troops and $500 Homo Guards, making
$3.50 in all. OF cavalry we had 250 veterans
who did nob1y, aided by 100 mounted infantry.
OF artillery, we had six light guns (6-pounders),
none too well served. 1t was reported on
what we considered good authority, that the
section with our division limbered up, started
to the rear without orders, and only returned
to the action by peremptory personal order
from Gen. Ricketts,. The lowest estimate of
the enemy's force by Gems. Wallace, Ricketts,,
Sigel, Barnard and others, is 10000 men, COM
prising some of Gen. Lees best veteran troops.
Included in this estimate is the Confederate
cavalry of 1000 to 5000 veterans (some say
5,000) under Gems. Bradley t. johnson and
McCausland. AS to the artillery, Gen. J. G.
Barnard says:
Early admits in his official report ST have about
40 pieces of field artillery, of which the largest
12-pounder Napoeons besides a few pieces of horse
artillery with the cavalry"
I can testify, from personal observation, that
THE REBEL ARTILLERY WAS WELL SERVED.
We wished that we had had McCartney's 1st
Mass. Battery or Sleeper's 10th Mass. Battery
with US. We knew by months of severe fight
ing that the men of these two batteries named
would stand up to their guns and to DEATH
We knew that we could trust each other, and
it is this confidence in each other, and in our
Generals, that wins the battle. Permit one
example of the
ACCURACY IN BATTLE
of an experienced artilleryman: At Spottsyl-
vania, Va, in May, 1864, Gen. Ricketts, asked
a gunner in McCartney's Battery (which was
assigned to our division) if he could hit GER
tain house one mile distant in or near the ene-
my's line. "Yes, sir" The first shot tore
away the corner of the building. The second,
a shell, exploded in the building. OF the 20
600 men opposed to US at Monocacy, 1900
were in front of our division and 1000 were at
the stone bridge on the Baltimore pike fight
ing our right wing.
OUR LOSSES,
by official report were as follows:

The Nashville Colored Church Choir,
which give an entertainment in
Brackets Hall. next Saturday even
ing, Aug. 23rd, 1884, is one of the
most popular companies now travelling
on the road. The following is one of
their many press notices:
ga more interesting and attractive
combination than that of the Nash
vile Colored Church Choir Co., is not
travelling upon this continent to-day,
and they offer an evening of music,
fun and pathos, which combines all
the elements of an entertainment at
once refined and jovial. There is an
indescribable charm, an originality
and feeling of reality, about the songs
of these dark-skinned artists, which
is positive relief from the hackney
ed rubbish of the bogus cork-grimed
variety man. The music of these yo-
caiists seems to well up spontaneously
from a reservoir of sensibility some
where near the heart. and makes evil
dent to every listener the faithfulness
of the saying, that "those who would
make others feel, must feel them
selves" There is weird witchery
about these southern songs which.
like the cry of the curlew, tells story
to the soul. The comic elements of
an entertainment of the combination
are genuine humor, no stretched or
strained effort after fun. but that
rollieking joyousness which bubbles
over in the darkey nature.-ChicGg0

Opening of the River Falls Roller Rink

Mr.. E. L. Winslow opened the River
Falls Falls Roller Rink on last Satur-
day evening with grand promenade
concert, and exhibition of fancy skat-
ing which drew large and appreci-
alive audience to the rink. The River
Falls Cornet Band furnished the mu-
sic, and the great skating floor, 40xl00
feet, was filled with enthusiastic de-
voices of the science, who exhibited,
practically, all the stages of progress
in the art, from the timid and doubt
ing beginner to the intrepid and con-
fdent expert. The features of the
evening were the exhibition skating
by Mr.. Frank Barron, the champion
ten.hour Roller Skater of America,
who kept time to the music OF
charming waltz, and for fifteen min
utes performed upon two feet, one
foot, feet and hands, all the figures
and tricks possible to skater. His
exhibition was novel and entertaining,
and was highly appreciated. At the
conclusion of Mr.. Barron s exhibition
the visiting skaters, some fifteen
couples, from Hastings, with some of
the best local talent, gave an exhibit
ton of figure skating which was very
beautiful and fascinating, and enough
to tempt every one who witnessed it
to learn the art also. Among the Wis
itors exhibiting the greatest profcien-
cy ana grace of courage Mrs. Alex
Scott, Miss Minnie Richie and Miss
Dudley were the most noticeable, al
though there were many other grace
full skaters in the party. Mr.. Wins
low has secured the services of Mr..
Barron as manager and instructor for
the River Falls Rink and the patrons
will be given the best attention and
instruction under his supervision.

Facts of national Importance were
brought out at the late National
Teachers Convention at Madison in
this state. Hitherto there has been
distrust as to whether the Indian race
is as susceptible of being educated as
the white. 1t has lately been practi-
cally demonstrated that Indian chill
dren acquire school education as read
lily as any other race. The Indian
schools which have been maintained
the past two or three years have set
tied this matter beyond question. If
this fact had been recognized and act
ed upon by the United States govern
ment many years ago, a vast amount
of money might have been saved, now
appropriated annually to keep the In
dams from starvation and suffering.
Education would have changed their
wandering habits and rendered the
tribes self-sustaining.
