THE ZOUAvEs IN CUMBERLAND.
Last Tuesday night the Zouaves
of this place, numbering Al muskets,
accompanied by st. Patrick's drum
corps, left here for Cumberland to
attend the G.. A. r. reunion and to
take part in the military display and
pleasures of the occasion. In point
of numbers the Zoos outsripped the
other companies and as to military
bearing and soldierly qualities held
their own with the eight organiza-
tions present. Their bright and
snowy uniforms, and the novelty of
the style in which they are made,
combined to make the boys the CEN
tire of attraction. They were we'll re-
ceived and entertained by their mill
tary brethren of Cumberland, and
returned Thursday night much
pleased with their two days trip.
Ten thousand visitors were esti-
mated to have been present on We'd
nesday, and as many on Thursday,
embracing numerous G. A. r.. posts,
lodges, bands, &c.
Among the prominent personages
present were ex-President Hayes
and Mrs. Hayes, Ex-Governor Pier
pont and General Kelley.
Sergeant Williams says he would
like to bestow his leather medal upon
the dog that took hold of his heels
while on parade.
The "mashers" got left; but the
ball was a success.
Military discipline ''riled" some Of
the boys.
The Cumberland ladies say the
Zouaves wear "Mother Hubbard"
pants.

History of the BARRIERS Pole.


In the earlier days venesection was
the chief resource of the expert called
in to relieve the sick. So universal
was blood letting that he who lived
by pracicing the arts of healing was
called "leech." The BARRIERS shop
furnished conveniences for practicing
blood-letting either by the lancet or
the application of the leech, aud the
barber finally added this to the as
sumed duties of his profession. The
appliances were staff to support the
arm. a cord to bind it, and a bowl
to catch the flow of blood. These
were usually displayed in front of the
shop; the bandage being wound around
the staff, tie cord tied above it, and
the metal bowl inverted on the top.
After while these were initiated by
an artificial sign. A pole was at first
fastened in the ground, wound with
the bandage, and capped with the
bowl. Then painted strip of white
was put on the poie ia pace of the lin
en-, and wooden cap of metal color
surmounted the solid staff. 1t
was natural that the pole should
be painted red not only to
show the white stripe more plainly
but as suggestive of the use to be
made of the bandage. The bowl be-
came ball, and the brass or pewter
gave place TO gold or silver leaf. In
some parts of the world the barber
still retains his skill in venesection
but bleeding is now the rare exception
in medical practice even in the heroic
school for treating the sick. But
where the barber is no longer a leech
1.-The sign shorn of its significance, is
still retained, and the stripes and gilt
cap win mark the harber's pole, we
suppose, to the end Of time. Its use
certainly antedates any complete
historical record.-Journal of Com.
