The Rutland toboggan slide bids fair to
become one of the most popular institu-

that there is talk of getting 100 members

faces of the young ladies of that town do
not rapidly assume more rosy hue under
the eNhilarating influence of this fascinat-

A CONFEDERATE MONUMENT.

The first Confederate monument evel
erected on the battlefield at Gettysburg
was put in position on Saturday, the 6tf
inst 1t marks the position of the Sec
ond Maryland infantry, at the foot OF
Culps' hill, on the Confederate left The
monument will be dedicated November
10, and it is expected the ceremonies will
be very interesting, participated in, as
they will undoubtedly be, by soldiers who
fought on both sides, and who will meet
on that ground which was the
scene of the decisive battle of
the late war, with the determi-
nation to bury more than ever the ami
mosities of twenty years ago. The hand
of the Southrou will take with a firm
grasp the hand of his wihom foe and
will there celebrate with fitting monu-
ment the chivalry and bravery displayed
on both sides 1t will be forgotten that
the same hands that grasp each other on
that day were, twenty-three years ago,
drawn in deadly conflict the one against
the other, and all that will be remem-
bered is the bravery of those who sleep
their last sleep where so many fell vic
Tins to the insatiate greed of the demon,
war. Certainly no one can be SO narrow
minded as to begrudge the testimonial to
ba oh oil e l.,
on what side they fought, England does
not attempt to interfere with the ceebra-
ton of the fourth of July in that country
by American citizens, and much less ought
we in the United States to enter a protest
to such celebration no matter whether it
be monument to the northern or south
ern soldier, for each did his duty for the
cause he believed just.
