that bring to light most of the buried
relics of the cruel past Their tiny
fingers, sometimes in play, again with
the hope of adding to the family cof-
fer, unearth pounds of lead.
In strolling through Alexandria
the writer came across a veritable
old curiosity shop down by the wharf.
1t is kept by an old junk dealer, who,
yielding to desire for glimpse at
the latest curiosity, brought to light
big box which had just arrived from
the country that morning. There, in
reckless confusion, were bullets,
musket balls, old pieces of brass,
epaulettes, sword hilts, buckles and
buttons, all battered and bruised and
corroded by the earth in which they
had been buried for SO man years.
This box, the dealer said, would
weigh about $50 pounds, and was
but one OF many that he was con
stantly receiving.
From the midst of the debris but
ton was fished out, upon which was
inscribed the arms of Vermont free
dom and unity,) showing that they
must have belonged to some member
of the first militia that was mustered
into service, as the troops were after
wards uniformed by the United States
These war relics comes from the bat
tlefields OF Manassas, Culpeper, Fred
ericksburg and the Valley of Virginia
and are sold simply for their value a
! old lead and brass. Occasionally al
: invoice of shells arrives, which throw
r the down town inhabitants into
! state of CONSERVATION. Not so yer,
long ago quite batch of these wick
ed looking things were prompt
hustled out of town by command o
the mayor
If the farmers were wise they woul
preserve the most interesting of thes
5 mementoes, for there will come tim
e when even the most insignificant vii
e have its value-Ex.

Democrats and Statehood.

Ever since the first talk for State
hood began, it has been told here
and there that the Democrats would
oppose the measure. These charges
have been disproved by their move
ments at every corner In the first
place Governor Stevenson made the
call for the Constitutional convention.
This committed the Democrats to the
cause. Then the party sent its best
men to the convention, men who
worked earnestly, honestly and faith
fully and whose impress is indellibly
stamped on the constitution, and then
later on by resolutions of the Central
committee they made their assurances
of support doubly sure. THE NEWS
does not hesitate to say that some in.
dividual members of the party will
oppose the ratification of the consti
tuition from principle but those mem
bers will not be more numerous thar
Republicans who will do the same
thing.

In another city were gathered thou
sands OF citizens to honor with military
pomp the memory Of tho man who hat
led a conspiracy to overthrow that SAINT
government, and to weep not only owe
the remains Of the fallen Arch onied

the loss Of the cause he advocated.
