Things Soldiers Carried.


 'There were lots of funny things about the War;" said Col. Freder- lck Martin of the BFodklyn Elevat- ed the other day, ''now that you think of them when the tears are dried away, and about the funniest things l recall were the queer ar ticles the boys u5ed to pick up on the march and the eccentric way in which they'd tote lem along to finally adoin some ditch by the #ayside. Stragglers were the worst at this, but all tie fellows were bad enough. Whenever the army went through a frst-famlly residence the boys would capture what struck each as most attract i've, and some of their tastes were peculiar. They had great weak ness for cradles. You may ask me what man treading his way to the front wanted wifh a mahoga- ny cradle, and I'm blest if I know, but they took lem. First one man would back a cradle and cart it a dozen miles; then he'd begin to cuss and finally drop it.
 Now, you'd suppose that an or dinary idiot would just look at q cradle as it lay in the road and pass on, but they wouldn't. Some one would be certain to pick it up and lug it a few miles farther into the Confederacy.
 "I recall one cradle that travel ed 100 miles on blue backs before it went to increase the blaze of mess fire. Somehow they seemed to think vaguely that there was q chance of getting the infant sooth- CT home, but they never succeeded.
 The funniest thing I ever saw carried was a looking glass high as your head and two feet wide. I saw 1t first in the parlor of a Virginian mansion, and next on a soldiers back, headed for Peters
  burg. Then I lost sight of 1t for two days, and found it again prop ped up against tree forty miles further along. The next day I saw it on a straggler's back He had his gun in one hand, and had some how strapped the glass so he could get along without holding fast to 1t.
 "Well this fellow must have got tired. for the next day a third man had it, and the next a fourth. This chap toted it into the lines at Pe- tersburg He set it up against tree, took a long, regretful look at full length of his shabby self, and turned away with sigh.
 ''It was just as we'll that he did. The next minute along came a minnie bullet, buzzing like a hor- net, and hit the glass square in the centre, and smashed 1t into 0 frame full Of cracks radiating from around the hole.
 'The heavier and the more use less things were the more they clung to them, even combining to escort pianos into untinisly graves in mudholes; but the man who could steal a rocking chair was 6 white-robed angel in his own mind and the object of universal envy.
 Another funny thing was to have the suttler strike camp load- ed with condensed milk. I've seen a whole regiment sitting on a fence, each man with milk-can in one hand, dipping out the sweet thick stiff with his forefnger and licking it off with an expression of beatitude that would make saint look sick in com parison.

CHURCH DEDICATION.
On Sabbath last, April 4th, the little
village of Nooksack Crossing, some 16
miles back from Whatcom City, was all
astir, the occasion being the dedication
of their neat little Presbyterian church,
which, with its pretty spire, is both
credit to the little settlement and an Or
nament to the vicinity. The edifice is
2Sx50, and is capable of seating about
$50. The total cost il 81 AGO, of which
the Presbyterian Board of Church EGec-
ton furnished S400, and 800 was given
by Mr.. w. 8. Ladd, of Portland, the peo-
pie themselves raising IN cash and work

whole settlement of 400 population. The
reason of such generosity is the lack OF
a saloon to drain the resources OF the
people. The field was originally part of

greatly hastened his end by his jealous
attention to this out of the way place,
and the church now dedicated is mon
ument to his faithful work and the cease
less energy of his successor, Rev. b. X.
McElmon, of Whatcom. The dedication
sermon was preached by the Rev. John
Reid, Jr, of Port Townsend, his text
being How amiable are Thy tabernacles,
Oh, Lord of tsr'-Psalms 81 !, which
was listened to with rapt attention. The
dedication ceremony was participated in
by the pastor at the close of the services.
In the afternoon over 40 took part in the
communion service, which proved sea-
son OF blessing to all Previous to the
administration of the elements two little
ones were baptised. At night all the
available seating capacity of the church
was occupied and sermon delivered
from. I Peter, HIS, by Mr.. Reid. The
church was dedicated entirely free from
debt, and was designed and carried to
completion by the Rev. B. K. McElmon.-
The pleasant day, the auspicious event
and the genial surroundings made it a
red-letter day in the history of the Nook
sack Crossing.

amendment was voted down by party
vote of 10 to 90, democrats in the affirm
ative and republicans in the negative
Mr.. Eustis moved to amend by confning
the right of suffrage in the proposed new
state to male electors only. He sup
ported his amendment in some remarks.
in which he maintained that if congress
agreed to the bill as it stood-admitting
female suffrage the State of Washington
could elect female U. S. Senator, and
the result of that would be that the
problem OF secret sessions would be in
stantly solved. Laughter.l
