Valuable Military Relics.

The late General Benham, of the Corps of
United States Engineers, collected during his
long army service some interesting trophies and
curious specimens of arms. Many Of these have
been deposited by his son, Lieut.. Benham, of
the I'd Inf, in the museum Of the Military
Service Institution on Governors Island. The
collection comprises q sword of a crusader,
with its long blade engraved in arabesqus pat
tern; a pair of iron basket-hilted Scottish
claymores, of the Clan Stuart date, 100; several
trophies of the Mexican War, 13i6|45, among
which may De mentioned short sword taken
from the first prisonerat Buena Vista, an esco-
peta or short rife, two lances, some spurs and
horse pistols captured from Mexican lancers
in the same engagement. The war in West
Virginia is remembered by fine specimens of
smalEarms, powder horns and TASKS, captured
from ex-Seeretary Floyd's chief of staff, and
others, at Carrick's Ford and Carnifex Ferry,
in 1861. Petersburg and Richmond are repre-
sented by Enfield and Tower muskets, and
Swiss yager.
There are pieces Of the flag Of Fort Pulaski,
surrendered to the United States is 1862, and
some murderous-looking bowie knives, of the
same period, of Confederate origin. A beautiful
saber of Toledo, with the Spanish arms forming
part of the guard, and q silver mounted
Solinger," are also in the collection. Besides
these are many smaller, but equally interesting,
relics Another contribution TO the rapidly
increasing collection of the Institution is q
trophy of Chapultepec-a fine straight sword,
made in Spain during the reign of Carlos III,
with the name of that sovereign embossed on
one side of the blade the name of the dragoon
regiment to which it belonged, and the date
" 1776" when it was forged. This was cap
tured by Massachusetts, officer in the war
with Mexico in 1847. The illustrated cstslog
OF this museum is in the printers hands and
viii soon be issued.

Washington And this in "9O-day war;
that we had heard SO much about three years
previous, by an enemy said by the papers to
be in the last ditch" and whose backbone had
been broken daily, by aforesaid wise papers,
for two years pastl
The officers and men of our division have
ever maintained and so have the people of
Washington, including some very able officers
in the Regular Army, that our Capital was
saved at MoDocacy, July 8, 1864, by the conse-
quent delay Of the enemy's advance. The peo-
pie of Washington gave our division a cordial
reception few days after the battle, when we
marched through the city to join our corps, a
reception evidently as sincere and spontaneous
as had been given to any body of troops. proba-
bly,, since the entrance of the 9th Mass. and
other troops in April, 1861. At the same time
we acknowledge with gratitude the service rem
dered by one brigade of the Second Division Of
our corps July IL. The arrival Of the First
and Second Divisions and later Of the Nine
teenth Corps, would have been of no avail had
not Early been hindered at Monocacy. We
cheerfully allow credit in proportion TO service
rendered. The battle of Gettysburg is said to
be the greatest of that war, in many senses-in
the losses; in the magnitude Of the interests
involved.
LOSSES COMPARED WITH GETTYSBURG.
Let US compare the percentage Of killed and
wounded, on our side, with the percentage of
killed and wounded in the Third Division,
Sixth Corps, at Monocacy July 9, 1864:
Killed, Killed; Wounded Total.
First Brigade. .03 S9-l00 IA sS-IO0 Is 75-IOO
Second Brigade. .0l 37-lO0 10 94-lO0 IS 31-IO0
Gettysburg -...... 0S I5-I0o Is 23-IOo .ls 3s-IO0
The foregoing figures are sufficient evidence
of the gallantry and determination of the fight
ing at'Monocacy. Gen. Wallace in his official
report says:
1t would be difficult to say too much in praise Of
the veterans who made this fight. For their repu-
tation and for the truths sake wish it distinctly
understood that, though the appearance of the
N.Y. fourth line of battle made their ultimate de-
feat certain, they were not whipped On the con-
trary they were fighting steadily in unbroken front
when ordered their retirement, all the shame of
which, II shame there was Is mine not theirs Mo-
nocaey on their flags cannot be word Of dishonor.
Orders have been given to collect the bodies of
dead in one common burial ground on the battle
held suitable for a monument, upon which pro-
pose to write These men died 10 sdre The National
Capital and hey did SAFE IT,"

Society Note.


If there is any one thing fashionable lady
does really enjoy, il is to make formal call
on some other fashionable lady and find her
out.
A few days ago an elegantly dressed lady
emerged proudly from a street car, on Austin
Avenue, and called at one Of the stateliest
mansions, in front of which the inevitable
small boy was playing.

in confident tone of voice.

about this time in the afternoon replied the
lady, in disappointed tone of voice; and an
expression of horror and disgust fitted over
her mOre antique features.

given her chance to skip. heard her say SO

Just at this moment the lady of the house
