Tomorrow will be out pamphlet en-
titled, can Examination into the Merits Oh
the Reported Proposition Of the British

RuYrIS."
We take It that In this matter Colonel
RrrrrS speaks for his brother officers In
the Capitol. But whether he does or not,
the pamphlet Is all the same Just what the
people Of Virginia need to inform them
officially Of the condition OF the State treas
ury, sand TO point out what patriotism re-
quires at the hands OF the taxpayers.
The following stat' ment made up from
the books Of the Second Auditors office

tered 10 any new settlement, and shows also

( The pamphlet says:
But In arriving at conclusions TO be pre-

ditor himself, and the result 10 given in the

4 Fine Specimen from Egypt Re
CcIVcd At the National Museum.


er.a &c Washington sur.
Mr.. ". Y. Cox, chief clerk of the Ma
tional Museum, has received a fine
mummy as pleasant souvenir from his
uncle, Hon. :. :. Cox, United states Min
lister at COustau,inople. The remains ar
rived at the National Museum Monday,
and were Al once presented TO the muse
um by Mr.. ". Y. Cox. Minister Cox. in
his letter TO mis- nephew, simply stated
that he haG secured the deceased in The
upper Nile region during his recent visit
20 Egypt. Il Is supposed that tue Minis
ter nad good reasons for not being more
explicit Some years aKO, owing 10
threatened exhaustion of the stock OF
mumnies, already depleted hy Mehemet
AIRS reckless use OF tnem As fuel Tor MS
locomotives, the Egyptian government
prohibited the exploration OF mummles
from the country. 1t Is assumed then
that Minister Cox secured the mummy
now living IN state at the National Mu-
seum either by a clandestRe expedition
tutO some burial place, or through some
neatly planned diplomatic intrigue. In
either case, OF course, he would not desire
20 explicitly state how it came into his
possession. Il has been suggested also
thar tae sultan bestowed the mummy up
on the Minister As y ntting return OF the

WoMAN'S RELIEF CORPS.
Brief History OF the Organization of Thi
Benevolent and Useful Society.

Brief History OF the Organization of This
Benevolent and Useful Society.
The nucleus of this grand organiza-
ton seems to have been formed about
1862, in connection with Bosworth Post,
G. A, r., of Portland, Maine. This
society was supplemented with others
in different towns of the State, and
finally grew into State organization
called the Woman's Relief Corps of
Maine. The Bosworth society was also
instrumental in organizing the Woman's
Relief eorps of Massachusetts early in
1879, from which emanated the Union
Board. The last named organization
came to embrace the States
of Massachusetts,, New Hampshire and
Connecticut, and Mt the convention al
Denver, Col. in July, 1888, became the
basis of the National association.
Meanwhile, the work had been started
at the West by the efforts of Mrs. Kate
b. Sherwood, of Toledo, Ohio. In 1877
this lady interested number of her
sex in the relief OF, the Grand Army,
and an entertainment was held which
netted $1,000 to the relief fund OF
Forsythe Post. To continue this relief
work Mrs. Sherwood urged the forma.
tion of a society, and March 15, 1873,
Forsyth Post Ladies' Society was organ
lied. This auxiliary became the great
missionary center for the extern
sion of woman's work in
the Grand Army, and when the
Denver convention met, 140 auxil-
iaries, in nine States. had been organ
lied through the direct efforts of the
president of the Toledo society, Mrs.
Sherwood. AT Denver, when the propo-
sition of forming n National union OF
these auxiliary societies, East and West,
was made, there was some difference OF
opinion as to the form of the work.
The Grand Army delegates generally
favored the plan of secret work, but the
ladies of the auXiliares had been carry.
ing on their work without any service,
signs or secret forms. Mrs. Sherwood,
as representative of the Independent
auNiliaries, proposed that these bodies
should lay aside their plan of work and
accept secret work, on condition of the
of all loyal women. She then
proposed that the form of work of the
New England board should be adopted,
as it conformed more nearly than that
of any other to the work of the Grand
Army. On this basis National organ
izatlon was perfected. The officers of
the New England board were made off
GERS of the National association. Mrs.
Sherwood was made senior Vice -Presi-
dent, and given special jurisdiction in
the West According TO the report of
June, 1885, the corps includes twenty
live departments, with membership OF
20, 226, and Az auxiliary corps. The

been in some very close quarters. But
never had seen nino thousand horse
men drawn up in battle array, and tho
sight was certainly thrilling ono. l
believe | am safe in saying that since
the battle of the Pyramids in Egypt,
modern warfare had not seen the like.
The enemy woro well supported by thoir
artillery, and as looked across the
intervening space could sec the mouths
7 of the cannon. While we sat on our
horses waiting for orders, Generals
PloHsnnton and Curtis came riding
down between the lines. AS they pass
ed me | heard Pleasanton say; I'VE
must como together now" These
words, and the ominous looks of tho
cannon, assured me that serious
moment was at hand. / had six hum
dred dollars about me, and put itinto
an official envelope. then directed 1t
to my sister, and gave IL to our surgeon,
with the request TO forward II in case OF
my death, or us the boys were in the
habit of saying, in case did not "come
OUT
AT last the bugle sounded the charge.
The long lines surged in and out but
no advance was made,
Again tho buglc rang out on the still
air, and again the lines wavercd.
Then suddenly rider on white
horse burst through the ranks and rode
at the foe. Like an avalanche we fol-
lowed. In tho excitement every fear
vanished, and we rode through tho one-
my's ranks, dispensing them right and
left. They had fired one vollcy and
had no time 10 reload
Their right wing was completely cut
of from the main body and surrounded.
Having no other alternative they sur
rendered, aud we were soon busy dis
mounting them and hurrying them to
the rear. On my way back with n
crowd of prisoners, we met General
James Lane going TO the front. He
stopped, and pushing his way through
the crowd of guards and prisoners,
walked up to tall, iinc-looking Con-
fedcratc, held out his hand, and said;
"llow do you do, General Marina
dukeP" The man shook his hand
warmly, and after few words General
Lane walked away taking General Mar
maduke with him. When taken Cen
eral Marmaduke had on his hat star
and crescent. At the time no one knew
hIm, and Colonel Bentine noticing the
ornaments cut them from tho hat rs
trophies of war. The star when last
heard from was in museum in Chi
cago. General Marmadukc had no in
sigma of Office from which he could be
distinguished from the common sol
diers, having simple gray uniform
and large slouch hat l have never
learned who the rider on the white
horse was that led the charge other
than that he was staff officer.
The Confedcratcs made stand again
in the afternoon, forming in squares,
but could not stand before our on
slaught, and again retreated That |
night horses and men lay down and
slept together. So utterly worn out
We're we that no one thought of eating;
going to sleep was so much easier.--J.

AN EvENTFuL CAMPAIGN.

Complete View of the Successes and
Failures of ChancelIorsvilIe.
In this campaign both armies failed
to achieve what they attempted to ac-
complish. Both were equally success
ful in their strategy; both were equally
poor in their tactics and fighting, Had
General Hooker carried out his original
plan and crushed General Lees army
the war would have ended. Had Gen
eral Lee, after General Hooker's mis-
take of stopping at charlottesville,
been successful in delivering a crushing
blow to the Army of the Potomac, he
would in all probability have made
great step towards establishing the
Southern Confederacy.
Why did the measures of these two
Generals failP The answer In simply
this: Bad tactics and poor fighting.
Had either General emulated the tactics
and lighting OF Dcsaix at Marengo,
Masscna at Wagram, Davoust at Eek
muhl' where, with thirty thousand
Frcnchmen, he defeated ninety thou
sand Austrians; Marshall Ney at the
Moskwa, McMahon Mt Magenta, Sko-
beleit at Pleyna, or the Grand Duke
