The Origin Of Fencing.

From the first invention of the sword down
to the period when the 18th century was draw
ing to close, the weapon had always been used
as an arm of offense. The person using it
thrust on nhewed it into the body of his antag-
onist whenever he had chance. and the only
defense against it was stout armor or an inter-
posed shield. 1t is not to be supposed than an
ancient warrior, one belonging to the earlier
Middle Ages. never thrust aside or parried with
his own stroke of the enemy's; but this kind
of defense was not depended upon in those
days; the breastplate, the helmet and the
while he was endeavoring to get his sword into
some unprotected portion of the body of his
antagonist. But about tho time of Ferdinand
and Isabella of Spain the science of fencing
was invented. This new system Of fighting
gave an entirely new use to the sword. 1t now
became weapon of defense as well as ofense.
Long, slender rapiers, sharpened only at the
point, were the swords used in fencing. Armed
with one of these a gallant knight or high
toned courtier, who chose the new method of
combat, disdained the use of armor; the strokes
of his opponent were warded off with his own
light weapon. and whichever of the contestants
was enabled to dsarm the other or deliver q
thrust which could not be parried could drive
the sharp point of his rapier into the body of
his opponent if he felt SO inclined. The rapier,
which was adapted to combat between two
persons and not for general warfare, soon be-
came the weapon OF the duellist; and rs duels
used to be as common as lawsuits are now, it
was thought necessary that man should know
how to fence and thus protect the life and honor
of himself his family and his friends.

The richest bootblaek in America is Patrick

One of the best evidences that the American
people now live better than their fathers did is
found in the steady and rapid growth of the trade
in tropical fruits. 1t is not many years since the
great majority Of people scarcely knew what a ba-
mana was, and considered oranges and lemons as
luxuries to be afforded only in sickness or on great
occasions Now, not only these, but other tropical
fruits bought and eaten almost as generally and
freely apples, and the consumption of melons,
peaches. pears, piums and berries Is on the sane
universal and extensive scale.

WAX OEPARTMEST,
QUARTERaASTER-GE OFFICE,

WAsHINGToN, d. c., June 26 1885,
DEAR GEN. SHERMAN: / have received your let
ter the subject of the Springfield National
Cemetery, and of the National Cemeteries gener-
ally, and hasten to thank you for the promptings
which you have given me, well as for the breadth
and interest with which you have treated the
subject.
These cemeteries are in Col Batchelder's hands,
and he now has Col. Owen employed ostensibly
for the purpose of getting up book OF the grounds
and buildings. 1 do not know what progress has
been made thus far, but shall look into it immeti-
ately, in hopes of meeting, sooner or later, your
views upon the subject. Unfortunately, the appro-
priations for the cemeteries have been limited to
Sl00 600 per annum for all purposes.
Last year strong efforts We're made, without sue
cess TO increase that sum by $4,000.
IL we can interest the Southern people in these
cemeteries we may get more assistance.
Frequently now in this way roads have been
built by special acts of Congress in each case, aud
one is to be soon constructed at Springfield.
The rostruns built by Gen. Meigs have cost so
much that think our Legislators have conceived q
prejudice against these expenditures. IL has oc-
CURED TO me that possibly rostrun,s of prepared
timbers on some general plan, framed to put up
and take down ION the same principle that we get
out and prepare tinbers for O military bridge)
might be devised. and one kept for use at each
National Cemetery where there are not masonry
rostrums. They can be prepared. dressed. etc, In
timbered country, the parts painted, and stored
in a shed when not in use. Again. timber rostrums
last at least few years At all events the subject
shall have our best attention.
trust, General, that you are in good health and
enjoying your honored retirement.
Most respectfully. yours ID. b. HOI.ABIRD.
