LOSSES AT CHICKAMAUGA.

General Boynton, the distinguish
ed Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, ex-
tolls in high terms the tenacity and
valor of the Confederate troops at
the battle of Chickamauga, Sept. 10
and 20, 1868 This great battle was
where General Thomas acquired the
title of the rock because the utmost
efforts of the Confederates could not
move him from his position. Long
street pressed the whole rebel strength
against him unavailingly. 1t is
claimed that Chickamauga was for
both sides the bloodiest battle of the
war in proportion to numbers and
the time of the actual fighting, and
that it far outranked in the percent
age of killed and wounded any of the
battles of modern Europe. General
Boynton says
The marvel of German fighting in
the great battle of Mars la Tour was
performed by the Third Westphalian
Regiment 1t suffered the heaviest
loss in the German army during the
Franco-Prussian war. 1t went into
the battle three thousand strong and
its loss was 1914 per cent. There
was nothing in the campaigns of
which this formed a part which eX-
ceeded these figures, and they became
famous throughout the German
army. And yet in our war there
were over sixty regiments whose
losses exceeded this. Seventeen of
them lost above sixty per cent, and
quite a number ranged from seventy
to eighty. There were over a score
of regiments on each side at Chicka-
manga whose loss exceeded that of
the Westphalian regiment.
The loss in Longstreets' wing of
the Confederate army reached forty
four per cent, and this was increased
on the second day of the battle, and
the largest part of it in little more
than an hour on Sunday afternoon.
The Tenth Tennessee regiment had a
casualty list of sixty-eight per cent.
Anderson's brigade of Hindman's
division, Colonel Gracie's brigade of
the First Alabama legion, went into
action with 2OO3 officers and men
and in the space of an hour lost Cos
killed and wounded. This not only
shows the daring and intrepidity of
the COnfederates, but the terrible
Union fire to which they were ex-
posed

TROUT.

The trout is the tiger of the brooks.
The spots might perhaps suggest
rather the leopard, but the alertness,
dash and voracity of the 'speckled
beauties" are characteristic of the
tiger. tits these qualities which add
SO much zest to trout fishing. There
is, of course, the pleasure of being in
the open air, of breathing the eXhil-
arating fragrance of the mountain
forests, of struggling against Ma
lures barriers: slippery logs, messy
rocks, tangled branches, almost i'm
penetrable thickets, of whetting the
appetite with healthful exertiOn, and
finally of feasting on the sweetest of
fish taken fresh from the water and
roasted in hot ashes, wrapped in
succulent leaves.
These delights are necessarily self
ish With an increase in the number
of men devoted to the art, available
brooks are either bought and held as
private preserves, or are soon fShed
out. Every summer we hear of two
or three eager fishermen going in
to some mountain stream and taking
as many as thousand trout. Such
butchery is simply devastating. In
the desire to make out a large fish
story every smallest specimen is
counted What then is left for the
successors of the frst-cOmers? All
the big ones are taken, and not even
baby trout are left to grow up. Such
fishermen are the Goths and Huns of
the woods Laws limiting the
length of prendible fish and the
amount to be allowed each individual
are exceedingly difficult to enforce
lit Is so easy to measure the trout
from tail to jaw and from jaw back
to tail againD Even the more neces-
sary laws regulating the periods
when fish can be taken are, as every
one knows, constantly broken. In
some of the states, Vermont for in
stance, this period has been set back
a month Instead of lasting from
the LIST of Nav until the 1st of Sep
TENDER, it now begins with the LIST
of April and ends Aug l. This has
been done because trout begin to
spawn about the middle of August,
and August is the time of all the year
when spOrtsmen are most apt to
take their vacations, and when the
worst destruction of fish is perpetu-
ated Probably before many years
all our trout brooks will be owned
by private individuals or organiza-
tons, and then the irresponsible
slaughter of trout will be much linn
tied.
Perhaps before individual owner
ship of preserves is consummated the
spirit of gain which the country
boarding house keepers are rapidly
acquiring will be felt in town meet
ing, and the town will take posses
sion of the brooks and pay a large
portion of incidental expenses by
Ievying a tax on all fishermen. This
would probably be welcomed by
most fishermen, unless, indeed, the
freedom of the brooks should be ac-
corded to the natives. That would
be adding insult to injury, for the
country pumpkin who goes to the
brook every day in summer is the
most redoubtable enemy of the fish

THE CONTRACT LABOR LAW IN
NORTHERN VERMONT

Amos l.. Allen. an immigrant in
spector, with headquarters at New
port, has made a report to the Treas
ury department in regard to the OPP
erations of the alien contract labor
law along the Canadian border. He
SAYS that his Investigations have
the part of the people to comply
with the law, but that there are
many cases in which its enforcement
would work great hardships and
serve no good purpose. | beg leave
to say, writes the Inspector, that |
find no opposition in the enforcement
of the law, and in fact it virtually
enforces itself when people have
learned that an officer is looking for
violations. | believe a rigorous en-
forcement of it would work needless
hardship on this frontier and | have
endeavOred to make people acquaint-
ed with its terms SO that they could
comply Herewith rather than hunt
for technical violations. The law
might work ahardship to the farm
ers near the line, and | have been in
formed that they are somewhat
alarmed, but | have not sought out
any violations by them, because no
complaints have been made. | be
lieve the informers could be safely ex-
empted from the operation of the
law. The Grand Trunk and Canadi-
an Pacific railroads are peculiarly
situated as to the law. The latter
has about 20 miles of road in-Ver-
mont between Richford and New
port, and at one place, Mansonville,
runs into Canada again before it
reaches Newport. Their road work
men are mostly residents of Canada,
and the exigency mi ght arise for them
to bring quite force into Vermont
to make repairs. They hire their
bridge builders, carpenters, etc, by
the month, and it would be a hard
ship to require them SO seek out resi-
dents of the state to make repairs
and not employ their regular force.
The Grand Trunk enters Vermont II
miles above Island Pond and termi-
mates in Portland, Me. They can
and do, | believe, substantially COM
ply with the law, but there might be
cases when it would work injustice
and hardship. l have thus far prac-
ticallv enforced the law in the line of
the secretary's instructions of July
&c and will continue to do so.

THE VERMONT HORSE BREEDERS
4 SSOCIA TON.

The object of this association is the
advancement of the legitimate inter
ests of the breeders of road and trOt-
ting horses. The public have learned
from the four past exhibitions that
the purposes and methods of the ex-
hibitiou are strictly legitimate, and
that its meetings are so conduct ted as
to afford an entertainment of the
highest interest, from the objectiona-
bic features that too often attend
gatherings of this character. All
gambling, liquor-selling, side shows,
catch-penny games and peddling are
strictly excluded from the grounds.
The colt races, of which there will be
seven at the coming meeting, have al
ways been honestly fought out, Civ
ing honor to whom honor is due, and
indeed all the speed contests of the
association have been above suspi-
cion. The next meeting, which takes
place at Randolph on the 2Sth, Doth,
and 3Oth inst, promises to excel its
predecessors in many respects. The
money to be contested for will exceed
$4,000, and the number of horses
shown will probably reach 500.
Railroads will carry passengers for
fare one way, according to advertise

The Scotch-Irish.

AT Ironton l had a brief interview with a
patriarch now verging on his SOth year, Mr.
John Campbell, long identified with the de-
velopment of the iron industry of this local
ity. In my entire tour / had scarcely met
with another of such grand patriarchial pres
ence; OF great stature and singular being
nancy of expression, he made me think of
George Washington; this was increased when
he told me he was from Virginia He Is from
that strong Scotch-Irish Presbyterian stock
that gave to our country such men as Andrew
jackson, John c. Calhoun, the Alexanders of
Princeton, Felix Houston of Texas, Horace
Greeley, the McDowells, etc. Stonewall Jack
son was one of them, and his famous brigade
was largely composed of Scotch Irish, whose
ancestors drifted down from Pennsylvania
about $50 years ago and settled in the beauti-
full Shenandoah valley about Augusta and
Staunton. They were never to any extent,
more than they could well help, slave hold
ing people; indeed they have been noted for
their loveof civil and religious liberty. While
in the American revolution the Episcopalians
of Eastern Virginia largely deserted their
homes, as numerous ruins CT Episcopalian
churches there today attest, and fol-
lowed King George, these ''hard headed
blue Presbyterians," as one of their own writ
ers called them, from the loins of the old
Scotch Covenanters, were strong reliance of

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters systemati-
cally to overcome that super-sensitive-
ness of the human sensorium, which is
subversive of all bodily comfort and men

hurtfully upon the system. The difficult
ty underlying this, as well as many other
ailments, is imperfect assimilation, no
less than incomplete digestion of the
food. In the discharge Of both the diges>
tive and assimilative functions, the Bit
tiers are the most potent, the most relia-

ROUGH ON BURGLARS.
An Ingenious Device OF Rockford
MANI. How 1t Operates.

Man, How 1t Operates.
The Rockford Register says for three
years there have been frequent burglaries
at r. H. Shumwsy's seed concern, on
South First street. Mr.. Subway says
they have broken IN half dozen times
and stolen probably $4,000 worth of
STAMPS and cash. He always keeps sew
eral hundred dollars in the place. because
he mails such vast amount of packages
daily. He also had great quantity of
rare coin and old currency collected for
years. On one occasion they took $500
worth Of these coins.
Last October they broke in and got
over $500 worth of stuff. The police
kept these burglaries quiet, hoping to
discover the perpetrator. Shumway had
offered $500 for his apprehension. He
hired watch to sleep there and gave him
two revolvers. One night he was awak-
ened from sound sleep by persons at
tempting to enter. but instead of Shoot
ing them he ran to the front door and
called loudly for the police
Finally Mr.. Shumway got up con-
trivance, ingenius and dangerous. He
set two revolvers in the back room. con-
nected their triggers with copper wire
and then ran il across the only passage
where an intruder could walk. The po-
lice sighted the pistols for him, and
they were fastened securely. 1t was
dead ringer that the man who ran against
the wire would be shot. Last night the
burglar entered again through the back
window-the usual route. He ran
against the wire, and one bullet entered
his body.
He did mot steal anything last night.
The police inspected everywhere in the
direction the pistols pointed There was
no bullet hole. Then they tested the
pistols on a bag of seeds, and found that
there was but one place where the bullet
could go. The burglar, without doubt,
had been shot in the side, Just about
four inches above the left hip. 1t was a
clever scheme and sure to shoot. Officer
McEvoy took the first train towards
Freeport to hunt for the bird, and the
search will be extended in other direc-
tons. Mr.. Shumwsy hopes that any
doctor who has treated such a wound.
or any one learning of person thus in
jured, will report to him. The fellow is
sure to be pretty badly hurt, and it
seems as il, with the bullet hole in him,
he could not long evads discovery.
