stuffed rocker-drawn up to the table, on

make this hitherto sacred apartment into

A RELIC OF THE REBELLION

RELIC OF THE REBELLION.
-Twonty years ago the coming autumn
the great battle of Cedar Creek was fought in
which so many of our Vermont boys partici-
pated. 1t will be remembered that Sheridan
was twenty miles away at the commence ment
of the battle and that our army was badly de
fcated in the forenoon, but on Sheridan's ar
rival it rallied, repulsed, and then nearly an.
INITIATED, the rebel army in the afternoon.
Mr.. Alfred S. Worden, now of Marlboro,
was then a corporal in the color guard Of the
Eighth Vermont Volunteers The two color
bearers were shot in the morning and Corpo-
raj Worden then carried one of the flags
The colors were nearly surrounded at one
time by the rebels and bayonets were freely
used, but the flags were not captured. Dur
ing the afternoon, and while the regiment was
charging the rebel line, Corporal Worden was
shot down, his thigh pierced by rebel bull
let For nearly twenty years the bullet has
caused pain and loss OF sleep. 1t became 30
troublesome that few months ago he went
to Boston, and, accompanied by Colonel Hill
who was member of the Eighth regiment

operation at the Massachusetts general hospi-

the bullet it was not found Not discouraged
however, Corporal Worden recently went to
New York city and in the hands of a celebrat-

a rebel bullet weighing one ounce was taken
from his leg. a cash five inches long was

Whatever may be said in regard to the propensity
Of the managers Of great railway lines to provide for
the public only what is actually demanded in the way
Of accommodations and comfort can in no way apply
to the management of the Chicago, Rock Island Il
Pacific railway, or as 1t Is more familiarly known
"The Great Rock Island Route" This line has for
years been recognized the best and most comforta-
ble route between Chicago and Kansas city and the
Southwest, and has been abundanty able on this ac-
rouut to successfully cope with its competitors But
not satisfied with this and its already elegant
equipment its managers have caused to be turned out

We bespeak for the owners and managers of this

provision for the wants of the public, which is has
already been proven by the patronage extended tu
this line quick to appreciate aud patronze those who
prove by their deeds aud generous that they
are devoted to its comfort and welfare.

The last English census reveals the encour-
aging fact that the proportion of the blind to
the population has decreased with each sue
cessive enumeration since 1851 in which year
account Of them was taken for the first time.
The decrease in the decade ending IN 1881
was much greater than in either of the pro.
ceding decennial intervals, the number of
cases returned on this latter occasion being
%, s32, equal to one blind person in every

the progressive improvement in the surgical
treatment of the eye, and to the diminished

New Africa.

The New York Chamber of Commerce has
dono wise and proper thing in asking the
United States Government to recognize the
authority of the International African Asso-
citation, which-undsr the patronage of the
King of Belgium, who has expended $780,
600 in the project under the immediate man
agement Of the explorer Stanley-has estab-
lished twenty-five trading stations along the
line of the Congo river, in the heart of Afri-
ca. The object of the International Associa-
ton is to open up Central Africa to CONNER
cial relations with civilized nations without
preference to any one nation. The authority
of the association has been established by act
ual exploration and settlement, and by AMIGA
BILE treaties with friendly tribes. 1t is only
disputed by the Portuguese Government on
the sha6Owy claim that 400 years ago q Port
uguese vessel entered the mouth of the Con-
go and thereby acquired the right to the
country. The extent of fruitful and popu-
lous country to be reached from the west
coast through the water system of the Congo
river and it's tributaries is estimated at 6, 900,
coo square miles, an area larger than that OF
the Chinese Empire and nearly twice as large
as the United States. The Congo river is one
of the largest rivers in the world. The pro-
ductions of interior Africa, aside from its
mineral wealth, are cotton, coffee, pepper,
nutmeg and other Spices precious woods, and
the plant that yields India rubber. There ii
no other field of human activity which is sc
large or so inviting as this suddenly opened
storehouse of natural commodities adapted to
the wants of the whole world. While the
United States, owing to their policy of seclu
sion, are not prepared to reap the full benefit
of the establishment of commercial relations
with the dark peoples of the Dark Continent
| it is yet their interest to do what they may t.
assist the enlightened King of Belgium in car
rying into effect his great project. The time
may again come when this country will TAKE
its proper rank among maritime nations.
