The Battlefield. or the rebellion.

Maj. j. Ii. Stine, historian of the old 1st
army corps, is in daily receipt of large
number of letters from prominent veterans at
the north, promising to participate in the
visit to the battlefield Of Fredericksburg,
Va. The principal point of interest will be
the slope up which the Irish brigade made
several desperate charges and wore repulsed
with heavy losses each time by Barksdale's
Mississippians who supported the terrible
masked battery on the opposite side of a deep
ravine. The committee of Washington vet
erans are making active preparations for the
event, which will take place May 10.

For the instruments above mentioned the music
was, by necessity, in all cases simple, and was
either sonerous, stirring or grand THAT pro
duced by the tuba" or ''cornu"1, was soft,
warbling and bird-like las would be natural
from the flutes, fageoets, etc., Any one who
has ever heard the famous march in Verdis
Aida, will have the simple and grand effect of
the ancient Greek music which was the music
adopted by the Romans. Two well known
Neapolitan composers, Sebastian and Albert,
composed the marches and the song
music for this festival The instruments
were thirty in number, and the trained
singers about the same, the chorus having to
sing the epithalamium" and the 'fepicidium,"
or funeral chant and elegy.
But have to say in the language of Josephus,
in his description of Vespasian and Titus tri-
umph, now it is impossible to describe the null
titude of the shows as they Deserve and the
magnificenee of them ALL" That is the way
that / feel So will very briefly sum up. First
were the grand procession, the people in ancient,
beautiful costumes the stirring music of the
Roman band, the emperor in his palanquln,
surrounded by his cohorts and his court, the
gods borne on mems shoulders; then came the
chariot races and athletic games, in an elon-
gated circus Of 800 feet by $50, with the first
century 1.-THE emperor senator's etc. seated in q
grand covered stand on one side and the nine
tenth century l4,OO0 spectatorsl on the other
side. The chariot races were intensity interest
ing and exciting. The elongated circus, by the
way, was laid out on the unexcavated ground
just back of the little country restaurant of
MarianTna, whom Judge Rand will remember
Then, at o'clock. we all left the place of games
and entered the main excavated street Of Pom.
peii where the marriage procession passed and
we saw the bride adorned with garlands, pre-
coded by priests and boys with censers, and
succeeded by the chorus of women who sang at
intervals, as the bride moved onward to the
home of the bridegroom. On the second day
flor it was three days festival) there was the
repetition of all this, with the addition of regu-
lar Roman funeral procession, music, the body
and the cremation-eyery thing was carried out
in regular style, even 30 the burning of the body
which, of course, was dummy" On the last
day the chief interest was concentrated in five
different excavations revealing some thirty
different objects which had been hidden for
l,S00 years., and the gladiatorial contest in the
ancient amphitheater. The procession here
was magnificent and could fancy myself in
the days of old when the troupes of gladiators to
stirring music fled before the emperor and cried
Marching to death, salute thee, o
Caesar" But interesting as the contest was, it
was, after all, only ''sham fight, land would
not wish to see real onel, and thus there was
no more excitement about it than sparring
march. But all else was a complete success, ex-
cept the nancial result The thing was
too well DONE the cost was too great and moth
ing was left for charity j. G. FLETCHER

THE PIED PIPER OF HAMELIN.
The Sexcentenary of Deed Famous in
Legendary Story.


The citizens of Hamelin are determined to
celebrate the seXcentenary Of the atrocious deed
of the Pied Piper which has given him and them
so prominent place in legendary lore and which
has been sung by poet and pictured by painter
To retail at this time of day the story of the pi
per who piped away the rats. and then, when
The burgomaster refused to pay him his thousand
crowns piped all the children after him into the
heart of the koppelberg HILL is, no doubt, almost
like an insult to the intelligence of the age,
though may reckon on it's being related in u
hundred forms next month, when the Hamelners
are to hold ther commemorative function The
Pied Piper is their historical stock in trade 1t is
he that brings crowds of myth loving people, with
golden sovereigns in their purses to look on the
Stadthaus where he made his bargain and the
cliff where he took his revenge. The story isone of
the oldest of its kind; it has been sought for III
the Sanskrit; there are hints of it being sun
myth. AS early as 1913 it was a frmyes-
tablished tradition, for old Verstegan, in his
Restitution of Decayed Intelligence tells us
how there came into the town Of Hamel an
odd kind OF companion, who, for the fantaStical
coat which he wore being wrought with sundly
colors, was called the Pied Piper" Then we
hear of the plague of vermin, the bargain he
made, the way the corporation broke it, and tho
cruel retribution which he wrought with that
woundrous pipe of his, ''And this great won
der"-the charming of the children into the Kop,
pelberg-' happened on the 22d day of July. in
the year of our Lord 1876 If So the Hamel-
ners are nearly century out of their reckoning
for they affirm that it occurred on the Doth of
June-old style of course,-l2S4 and as the
burehers were long in the habit of dating their
municipal records from this calamity they ought
to know. Admitting the date, the question still
remains whether there was ever such piper
and whether he did any such grievous deed as
that attributed to him. We may dismiss the
Pied Piper in his received version. But that
some event of remarkable character, which
gave rise to this myth, and in time, by a law
well known to folklorists, grew, got rounded,
pressed together, and smoothed off in it's angu-
iarites is fact which must be allowed. That
rats were a terrible pest In the middle ages we
know. Until very lately-as in the time of Ivan
the Terrible, of Russia-they put the public in
danger; and more recently overspread Bohemia
in such numbers as to become absolute pest.
Six centuries ago we may readily take it for
granted that some such mischief befel the Ham

SHIPPING A BABY BY FREIGHT.
A Sucking Papoose Sent to San Francisco as
an Indian Curio.

Tacoma Ledger
When the Mexico sailed from Victoria on her
last trip to San Francisco, she carried live In
dian baby, which had been shipped as freight to
a leading society belle of San Francisco, who is
an enthusiast in the collection of Indian curos
The Victoria Times gives this account of the
affair;
1t seems, so the story goes. that she wrote to
young man here to send her an Indian curio-
something so unique as to excite the
envy of all her friends The young
man purchased papoose from the
mother but for some tire was
at a loss as how to forward it. He finally put
the papoose and ive-gallon can of milk il
box Just large enough to prevent the youngster
from being tumbled around by the action of the
vessel All ntred the box up with padding and
bedding To the can he attached tube, from
which the baby can help himself to milk when
ever so inclined. The air-holes of tho box were
numerous, and as it is particularly under the
charge of the purser, the infant will probably
reach its destination bright baby. Whether
or not the young lady will consent to receive
him when he arrives is what is now agitating
the purser and the freight clerk
