Interesting "Reminiscences.

HENRY LYFoRD of Chelsea relates
several interesting incidents in his SER
vice in Company G., Sixth Vermont
Volunteers. On one occasion he saw,
long distance away, colonel of
Georgia regiment on fine horse. He
took aim and fired, and the colonel was
seen to fall from his horse. 1t was re-
ported at home that he had shot col
onel of a Georgia regiment. After
wards he re-enlisted and came home on
a furlough. While thus at home he
visited an uncle in Calais, Vt, who, he
said, sympathized with the South. One
day his uncle invited him to go to the
barn. When they entered the barn his
uncle closed and fastened the door be-
hind them, when he addressed Lyford
as follows: "They say you shot col
onel of a Georgia regiment; is it true?"
Il think it is" replied Mr.. Lyford.
"Well," says his uncle, "you will
never shoot another colonel of Geor-
gia regiment '-and seized fail that
hung near him and advanced with it to
strike Lyford a deadly blow. Where
upon Lyford drew a pistol from his
pocket, cooked it, and, pointing it at
his uncle's head, commanded him to
halt or he would shoot him. Upon this,
his uncle dropped the fail and left the

Vermonters at Pittsburgh.


the war of 1912 grander than that re-
lating to the Vermont volunteers at
the invasion of Pittsburgh in Septem-
Der 1914. Irrespective of party opinions
or age, the people turned out en- mosse
fathers and sons, veterans of the
revolution, and lads too young for mill
tary service-and all pressed on toward
the lake. Vermont should erect a
monument at some proper place in
memory of those brave men and their
patriotic service at that early day.
Orwell sent a corps of cavalry of
about twenty men, in which many dis
tinguished citizens were enrolled. On
their arrival at Plattsburgh, finding
the enemy had decamped, they did not
wait for general orders, or to be joined
by other forces, but pursued the enemy,
surprised his rear guard at Chazy,
captured seven dragons with their
horses and equipments, took the con-
tents of two baggage wagons and re-
turned-with the loss of only one horse
killed.
The late Hon. Samuel Swift, who
was then the secretary of Governor
Martin Chittenden, gives the following
incident in his History of the Town of
Middlebury: THE volunteers were
more accustomed to hunting wild ami
mails than fighting men; and while
they secured themselves as they could
behind trees and other protecting OBJ
jects, they were careful to take aim at
individuals of the enemy, and killed and
wounded many of them. After the
battle, number of British prisoners,
taken by the volunteers, were collected
together, and the man who appeared
to be most prominent among them was
inquired of as to his experience in war.
He mentioned, in reply, several battles
in which he had been engaged, and
said that he had never been in one
half equal to this; that those green
sprig men-the Vermont volunteers
wore green sprigs In their hats-would
hide themselves behind the trees, aim
at individuals, and hit every man aimed
at; and that their army called it
MURDER
There was an engagement on the
lake at the same time the battle of
Pittsburgh was being fought The
following interesting anecdote of Com
modore Macdonough, commander OF
the American fleet, is recorded: cat
the moment the British were bearing
down, an officer asked permission of the
commodore to issue an extra ration OF

MONTICELLO

The Magnificence of Jefferson's Residence
Downstairs, Economically Compensated
For by the Closen<,ss Of Everything Above.
The library, study and bedchamber of
Mr. Jefferson are. on the first floor, and
are used by the present proprietor for
the same purposes s they were employed
in the lifetime of Jefferson. The bed is
an alcove betw. zen the chamber and
study and can be fused from either room
the door of con munication is at the
head of the bed. 1t was in this room
that Jefferson died. and not one of the
chambers above, as some have sup
posed. The study was the favorite re-
treat of Jefferson, and the favorite
chair is still in the; accustomed place.
A large wooden ch air with broad arm,
where rested the paper whereon he
wrote. All about the floor in the neigh
horhood of the chair are ink spots
where the sometimes careless hand of
the statesman sent his ink flying.
These spots are faint with age, and be-
fore many years will have become in
discernible. The bed-chambers up
stairs are very small and very numerous.
It is no exaggeration to say that guests
at Monticello" slept in holes within
thx, walls. Scooped out of the thick.
ma ssive walls are little places about the
size of the lower berth in sleeping
car, whereon the bed was laid. Ii the
weather was at all warm, these curious
bed-ca1ambers must have been exces
sively.. hot. The space was meager al
lowed 10 the occupant to dress in, and
altogether the bed-chambers are pos
seSsed of but little to commend them.
The passages are very narrow on the
second and third floors-too narrow to
permit two persons to walk abreast.
The ceilings axe low; there are hooks
and crannies everywhere, and the con-
clusion is irresistible that the magnifi-
cence of everything downstairs has its
economical compensation in the close
ness of everything above.-Cor. st.

Russia's Line.
Dictated Letter,l

If our readers will take map of Asia, they can understand the military situation by tracing first the Russian line and remembering that the Anglo. Indian must con front'this. TheRussian runsfrom the right on the Black Sea at Batoum, by way of KaIs, ErzerOum, Tifflis, to Baku, on the Caspian--a sea- port: and terminus of a railway from Batoum and Porti, on the Black Sea, by way of Ezreroum and Tinlis to Baku. Thence, the Caspian crossed, the line would ex tend east to Nsry and Penjdeh and along the: :slopes.of the Hin. doc Koosh Mountains in Bokhara, still father east. Whatever the points of contact and however far distant the Russian and British lines may be and whatever may fall the points of hostile contact and however armies may be for the moment faced at points of contract this, in general, i. the Russian line. It IS assumed of course that England and Turkey will be in alliance and that thus the Asia Minor portion ofthe line will become of importance. The only point of the line at which a large R asian army is necessary at this moment of opening hostitli- ties is directly north of Herat, aiming at that point or perhaps ev- en at Cabul.-Avalanche.

Degenerate Sons of Statcsvhs sn.

Washington better to Ph. adel- phia Times: -->. or who attends the presidents receptions'is struck by the physical contrast between
 prominent statesmen of the day and their hopeful sons. It is well known that all tho United States Senators with three exceptions, and nearly all the able mon in the house of representatives, are above the average height and of ample proportions. They are selt- made mon, and reluirel all tho vitality of their large frames to raise themselves in the world. They are an honor to the White House, and lend dignity to its re- captions. But What a pitiful lot arc their wretched little dude of sons, with their spindle legs, dwarfed frames, sunken chests and colorless faces-ambitionless, dis sipated, worthless, without even a manly vice. There are some mark ed exceptions, but the average SO. cietv young man as seen in the
 White House is anything but an obj ject of admiration. It is a com mon sight to see a handsome, state ly girl with ono of these little ob- jects trotting across the room at her side, scarcely reaching her shoulders. That women don't ad- mirc the puny things is proved by the rarity of marriage in Washing ton society except in army and navy circles. where the young men are more manly in form and char acter. It has come to be gener. ally accepted fact, and human na- ture at the capital goes far to prove it, that conditions being equal, Q mans brains can be pretty accurately gauged by the size of their bodies. There are certainly many notable exceptions to this rule, but if we look to any of the professions we will find that a large majority of mental giants are bodily giants also. Society..w omen here understand this, and while they find the pretty little dudes useful for parties and the theater, they look elsewhere when they think of seeking man fora life companion. 1 am surprised that tho funny papers do not cartoon
 the statesmen of the day and their degenerate sons, for no other sub
 feet afford a better fold for sat. ire, both for the peacil and pen.
