employed men in the hospitals to make

of these investigations were distributed

Unmindful of everything but duty, hestood
there, that day, bravely fighting against
the overwhelming forces that were hurled
against us. Suddenly he was seen to fall.
and lie motiOnless upon the field. After
awhile, in a lull in the battle. he raised
himself upon his elbow, took out his little

the piece away. Not content with that,
with his fast failing strength he emptied
his cartridge-b0x. and scattered his metallic

Harriet Hosmer's Invention.

Some one was saying the other day that
the reason that Harriet HOsmer, who is now
in this country, has produced nothing note
worthy in sculpture for a long time past is
that she has given herself over for years to
the pursuit of something perilously like
thu ignus fatuus, perpetual motion. She
devoted herself while in ENGLAND, at the
house of Lady Ashburton. to the invention
of some mechanical continuance which
always was to be perfect in the course of
the next week or two. Meeting Story, the
sculptor, one afternoon, she told him that
in a fortnight her machine would be ready
for exhibition. The time passed, but her
mechanic had disappointed her. something
was not quite as it should be. Most of her
fortune, this informant surmised. was eaten
up by the machine. When Miss Hosmer
came to America her machine was to follow
by the next steamer. 1t lie not come. and
she took ship again and went back after
it to England. What has become of it
since was a point not calculated. Miss
Hosmer has been staying much with Mrs.
Carr, of Boston, who is a daughter of the
rich Mr.. Grow, of St.. Louis, another of
whose daughters 10 has Charlotte Cush-
