The Brattleboro Monument.

There is strong feeling in Brattle-
boro against having the statue of a
soldier on the soldiers monument
which the town is about to erect, be-
cause it has become so common, and
the prospect now is that the selectmen
and advisory committee will accept
Larkin G.. Mead's proposition. This
was made in letter from Florence,
Italy, dated April 81, and is as follows !:
| beg to propose that instead of the
often repeated soldier at parade rest,
the monument to our Brattleboro
soldiers should have a statue seven
feet in height representing "The Re-
cOrding Angel" | once made snow
statue representing this subject on the
spot where the proposed soldiers mon
ument is to stand. This snow angel
had pen in her right hand, and a
tablet in her left hand. Her face was
joyous and showed that she had re-
corded noble deeds upon her tablet.
This seems to me a particularly ap-
prOpriate subject for a statue which is
to cap the monument to brave men
whose names are to be inscribed upon
it's base.

He Called Him Whitaker.

A st. Louis man who went East last
summer, hunted up the poet Whittier.
He found the quiet old poet trying to
hide from civilization in farmhouse
near Nahant. He had gone there to
escape just such bOres as the st. Louis
man was. At first he declined to see
the visitor, saying that he was not
feeling strong, but the Missouri man
was so persistent that at last Whittier
yielded, and he was admitted. He
bounced upon the poet, and nearly
shook his arm from it's socket. He de-
clared that he adored the poets works
in fact he read nothing else. He
asked Whittier to write his name a few
hundred times on a sheet of note pa
per, that he might distribute the auto
graphs among his friends, and it was
all the poet could do to keep the i'm
petuOus visitor from cutting the but
tons from his coat to carry away as
mementOes.
"And all the time," said Whittier
pathetically as he told his adventure,
"He called me Whitaker"

A Missing Peddler.

Twenty men searched unsuccessfully
the dense forest in Somerset recently
for the body of j. HI. Willis, the Bridge
water pauper whose pack or valise fill
ed with Yankee notions was found by
Dover fishermen near the head-waters
of the Deerfield river miles from civil
ization. A son and brother-in-law of
the missing man, who were among the
searchers, identified several articles in
the peddler's pack when he left Bridge
water sometime last fall for North
Adams and Fitchburg, SO that little
doubt is felt as to the fate of the I'M
fortunate man. Sometime last NOvem-
Der, peddler supposed to have been
Willis, called at the Somerset houses
of Messrs. Burnap and Fegan and it is
remembered that, instead of returning
to the highway. lac took wOOdrOad
which led to the wilderness. On No
vember 10, Postmaster Bond of Sears
burg and another resident were en-
gagged in running a boundary line be-
tween Somerset and StrattOn, and
when coming out of the woods, they
frequently heard indistinct cries long
way off, like those of human being,
but which they finally concluded came
from some wild animal, little thinking
it were possible for anybody but them
selves to be in these woods, especially
on that day which was one of the very
coolest Of the winter. 1t is therefore
pretty generally believed that those
cries came from the lost and distracted
peddler who, being an old man, had
mistaken the much used wOod-rOad for
the highway and wandering about un-
til exhausted and perhaps frozen, his
body was finally preyed upon by the
bears or other wild beasts,,which infest
that dreary country. RumOr has it
that a battered coat sleeve has been
found near where the pack was dis
covered

A Lively Egg Story.

An egg story comes from South
Franklin. A farmers wife in that To-
cality found, while searching for hen
fruit, a queer combination this con-
sisted of two eggs, one about the usual
size and the other much smaller, join
ed together endwise. The connecting
link was apparently of thick skin
about half an inch long; and both of
the eggs were entirely destitute of
shell-being covered, however, with a
skin sufficiently thick and strong to
hold them in shape. Such combiDa-
ton as this is rare indeed.-[St. Adams

WHY THE WAR ENDED.
Once when Sir Garnet WOlseley, the
present commander of the English ar
nv, asked me at dinner party at
Montreal if the south could not have
held out longer, l replied: GAS mere
matter of physical endurance, yes but
do you know, sir, that in the four years
of war through which we passed the
south alone, with its few millions of
people, lost more men in battle than
England did in all it's wars from Will
liam the COnqueror to Queen Victo-
ria p | spoke with some feeling, and
it ended the discussion as to the rea-
son why the south did not continue to
ton.
WHAT THREE MEN DID.
General T. w. Conway told me an
incident of the stirring times of 1863
the other day which involved the
names of three men of national repu-
tation. The general at the time was
chaplain of the Ninth New York regi-
ment, the famous Hawkins Zouaves,
and had been sent home to raise the
second BATTALION of that organization.
Money was needed for their equip
ment, and he went around with pa
per for subscriptions. Among other
places that he was told to go was to
the Office of James T. Brady, in Mas
hua street, near Wall. In Brady's law
office was also John Van Buren,, son of
the ex-president.
Brady who was war democrat, i'm
mediately subscribed 500. There had
been considerable talk about John
Van Buren's position and he was gem
orally suspected of sympathy with the
rebellion. After Brady had signed the
paper lie turned to Van Buren, and
said: "Here, John, everybody sus-
poets you of disloyalty; here's your
chance to show them your colors."
Van Buren, replied in shrill voice
'It's BANKED lie about my not being
loyal" and Selling the pen put down
an eq ual amount with Brady. Gener-
al Conway, in speaking of further
efforts to raise funds, said: II went
later to Samuel j. Tilden, up in Gram
Grey Park. He said he thought in
stead of raising funds to send more
troops to the front the authorities
ought to be considering the raising of
funds to bring the troops home. L did
not get any subscription from him."
