that resistance was carried so far, that our sol
diers risked their lives in the river rather than
surrender, so long refusing to yield and then
only doing so when entirely surrounded and
there was no hope of escape.
In regard to the persons responsible for bring
ing on this unequal encounter Gen. Mcclellan
was to blame for not wording his order in such
a way that no loophole could be found by
which Gen. Stone could make greater demon
stration than was intended. But this hinges on
another fact. No action had been brought on,
no movement had been made since the battle
of Bull Run, three months before, and in the
beginning of the war three months of idleness
was longer than six at the close The troops of
Mcclellan were anxious for action, and but for
this inactivity Gen. Stone would not have gone
beyond his orders and fought the battle; as it
was, he concluded to make decided advance
if it could be done without endangering his
troops. His mistake was in giving Baker too
much power allowing him TO decide whether
or not to fight, while perhaps knowing that that
officer was far more likely to fight than retire,
even in the face of superior numbers.
Baker. who, whatever may be said to the
contrary, was rash and unskillful in managing
his forces that day, took a still broader view of
the subject, and, using the power conferred on
him, resolved to bring on an action, though
perhaps the rebels might be a little more nu-
mer0us trusting in his own and his soldiers
bravery to defeat them. 1t is certain, how
ever, he had no thought of meeting such odds
as were thrown against him. Thus we see an
order for a small demonstration, enlarged by
one commander, still more expanded by his in
ferior, resulting in the fearful tragedy of Balls
Bluff.
The persons responsible for the defeat are not
so numerous. Baker, after deciding to cross
his brigade, managed the transportation so
poorly that not more than half the available
forces were crossed. In plain sight from the
battlefield were 1900 troops unable to render
the least assistance, and if this force had also
been engaged there might have been a very
different ending to the battle. AS to the very
bad formation of the troops, the failure to seize
the wooded hills, where they could have held
out indefinitely. and several other things which
materially helped to defeat the Union forces,
they have been spoken of elsewhere. But in
my opinion the greatest cause for the defeat OF
Bakers soldiers was that there were entirely
too many rebels.

prise that Col. Lee had not yet arrived, and be
learned from men who subsequently came IN
that he had gone up the river with the officers
reported escaped with him, found the boat that
he (Bartlett) afterwards used, but, deeming 1t
impracticable, had left it, wandered on and was
finally captured.
Devens, more fortunate than any other Colo
mel, swan the river that night with the aid OF

oner.
Gen. Stone reported his loss at 40 killed, 15s
wounded and ia missing; total loss Col men.
Gen. Evans reported his loss at 80 killed, ia
wounded and two missing; total 1885, This last
statement surely must be either mistake or
lie, though it is pretty generally accepted, for
as the rebels had such a chance to report
small loss, it is reasonable they would stand by
their record and report only part of It, But
there is no way TO ascertain the truth.
Wild reports circulated among the rebel citi-
zens around Leesburg, and Francis l.. Buxton
said they really believed 10000 Union troops
had been nearly massacred by 1000 rebels.
Gen. Evans said the Union forces at Balls Bluff
aud Edwards Ferry lGorman's Brigade had
crossed there that day, but had made only a
slight moyement) were, as near as he could as
certain, 5000 strong Healso reported the loss
of Bakers force as 1900 killed, wounded and
drowned, and that he had taken 10 prisoners,
which makes the loss 10 more than our entire
force; but perhaps he counted the wounded as
prisoners also.
At the time of the action there was widely
prevalent belief that it was more of a massa-
ere than battle. This was a great mistake.
All who surrendered were treated as prisoners
of war, and none were shot in cold blood. The
origin of this report, no doubt, lies in the fact

A Hundred Tons of Money.

It hardly seems possible that the money paid
in one month for a ten-cent article could if
pennies were used in payment, weigh one hun
dred tons. Yet one of our bright schoolboys
has figured that this is true of Diamond Dyes.
To judge from the stocks of our dealers in dye
stuffs, Diamond Dyes own the field of package
dyes, and are complete success. Of course,
they have imitators. Nothing is success
until initiated" But no one wants to risk
counterfeit when the genuine can be obtained
at the same price. Three new colors have lately
been added to the list of Diamond Dyes: Fast
Stocking Black, Turkey Red for Cotton, and
Brown for Cotton. The manufacturers, Wells,
Richardson & Co., Burlington, VT, will send
colored samples of these new dyes, with book of
directions, to any address free of charge. These
additions seem to have made the line so COM
plete that any shade can be matched with some
color of Diamond Dyes. The beautiful sample
book of shaded colors lately sent to all dealers
in dyes, will delight the eye of any lady. It's
easy to dye with Diamond Dyes" is so abso-
lutely true that home dyeing is no longer a
difficult and disagreeable task. Almanacs with
their hints as to proper times for different
work, tell us that now is the time for Spring
dyeing. This, together with the thought of
that hundred tons of money, leads us to ask
what schoolboy can figure how many thousands
of ladies are now saying that this is the time
to use Diamond Dyes.

ASTOUNDING ATTACK UPON THE
PLYMOUTH ROCK PANTS CO.

In recent number of trade paper de-
voted to the interest of a retail clothing
trade, an article appears which, after discuss
ing the causes for last years depression in
ready-made clothing, concludes as follows:
Perhaps not all of our members appreciate
the effect upon our trade of the enormous
business that the PLYM0TH ROCK PANTS
co. is doing through EVERY post-office and
express Office in the UNITED STATES. It is
not an uncommon sight to see of Saturday
line of people waiting at some post-ofhce in
Maine, Illinois, or even California for parcels
of this concerns custom clothing to be de-
livered them. Backed by ample capital, and
with astonishing energy, they have pushed
their business up to such magnitude, that
profit per pair which to us would hardly pay
rent to them means handsome return upon
their capital. Representing as they probably
do over MILLION CONSUMERS of cloth,
they demand and obtain cloth in the wooden
markets of the East at LOWER figures than
ever before quoted. By the system that they
originated, they never have to carry any
ready made clothing, but CUT EVERY GAR
MENT TO ORDER, which of course attracts
q great many customers, as their prices are
even lower than the same garment ready
made 1t is useless to deny that they have
treated their customers with liberality which
THEY CAN AFFORD TO DO, where our
trade cannot, even to the extent of refunding
money at buyers request or making new
garment when customers send wrong measures.
1t has been suggested that memorial be adj
dressed to Congress by the clothing dealers,
calling attention to the operations of this COM
pany through the post-ofices and express COM
panies, asking if some action cannot be taken
to protect the trade against such competition"
We have read the above with great atten-
tion but fail to see how Congress could be
induced to interfere with business that has
REDUCED THE COST OF CLOTHING to
the people. We leave it for our friends and
customers throughout the country to let their
representatives IN Congress understand whether
or not our enterprise has been benefit to
the people.
In the meantime we shall continue upon
receipt of cents, to send our packages con-
tanning twenty samples CLOTH from which we
make to order our famous custom made Ply
mouth Rock s.. 81, and S. pants, and $13.25,

ment blanks.

The sketches of Capt. John Ericsson, which
have appeared since his death. have developed
the fact that while the main idea of the famous
Monitor was his, the inventor of the revolving
turret was New Yorker, Theodore R. Timby.
He received royalty of S., 900 each on all the
turrets constructed for the Monitor and other
vessels built on that plan. He is said to have
had the idea suggested to him by the circular
form of Castle William, on Governors Island
in New York Harbor, and he made model of
it as early as January, 1871.

CHAPTER TX.
FOOD AND DRINK.

FOOD AND DRINK.
British officer who used to amuse himself
by visiting the bazaars of Bombay in the dress
of native, once made the acquaintance of an
old Hindoo who had travelled both in Europe
and North America. Chow do you like their
big cities ," asked the turbaned Englishman.
" You never saw such fine buildings" said the
Hindoo; "and it's pity they should have
such tenants, for those Christians are surely
not more than half civilized" "They kill
their cows, don't they?" Yes; and more than
that" said the worshiper of Brahma, their
teachers preach against the sin of wrong drink
ing and never say word about wrong eating"
Those teachers might reply that alcohol is
responsible for countless crimes, and for at least
nine-tenths of our numerous digestive dlsor-
ders, but it is not less certain that the remain
ing 10th comprises some very troublesome and
yet very avoidable complaints.
In the countries Of the Caucasian nations
nearly all persons who can financially afford 1t,
eat, in the course of their lives, tons of things
which they cannot properly digest; and yet
OUereGting is not the chief trouble. 1t is very
much as with excessive drinking If we would
regulate the quality, the quantity would take
care of itself. People are not apt to commit
nightly havoc for the sake of cistern water.
Nor do lager-beer drinkers swallow bottle after
bottle to quench their thirst They do not
drink beer for the sake of its nutritiye proper
ties. They use it for its stimulating qualities,
and for similar purposes nine out of ten glut-
tons stuff themselves with strong meats and
peppered made dishes. They gorge themselves
to excite the jaded digestive organs with tonic
viands, just as the topper excites the torpid en-
ergies of the system with tonic fluids. There
may be persons who ruin themselves by an I'M
due fondness for water and bread, but they are
as rare as outdoor workers injured by an over
dose of fresh air. Potatoes and milk do not
fill gluttons' graves. As rule, natural appe-
titles have natural limits, and under anything
like normal circumstances can be safely in

AIDS TO ABSTINENCE.

Abnormal habits are hard to cure; but per-
sons who suspect themselves of penchant for
overeating and resolve on timely reform may
avail themselves of a physiological popularity
of our digestive apparatus. The organism has
effective methods of its own for announcing
the fact that the supply of food begins to ex-
coed the demand; but few minutes have to
elapse before the stomach can transmit that
communication to the conscious sensorium.
The ingeSta have first to be approximately ana
lyzed aud credited to the account of their several
uses Thus it comes that for five or six minutes
after a good meal has answered its physiology
cal purposes, hearty eaters may continue their
feast without direct protest of the surfeited
organism. Distending the stomach by habitual
overeating tends still further TO delay that
protest. But it will come sooner or later and
an excellent precautionary measure is to eat
NTH fer half-,ray pauses At the first suspicion
of a possible enough, put your plate aside aud
engage in conversation, or take up book and
give nature a chance to decide the question.
The same unmistakable feeling of repetion
which at last admonishes the veriest glutton to
desist, may thus get chance to assert itself in
time.

D1ETETIc PRECAUTIONS.

As general rule, the least stimulating diet
is the healthiest. Fasting and exercise should
take the place of hot spices; and it is singu-
lar fact that outdoor workers-farmers, hunt
ers and soldiers in active seryice-can more
readily accustom themselves toa change of diet,
while persons of sedentary habits are worried
by craving after unwholesome dishes, as a
topper is worried by his rage for strong drink
an additional proof that such appetencies are
wholly distinct from the need of nourishment,
which, in fact, seems to counterfeit their i'm
portunity. A hungry man is not particular
about styles of cooking but feels confident of
his ability to digest his food without the aid of
artificial stimulants. And all articles of diet that
require the addition of such stimulants are for
that reason, suspicious Such vegetables, fruit.
and semi-animal" substances as recommend
themselves to our paates without much artificial
preparation are, under ordinary circumstances,
our most appropriate diet. Wild plums,
huckleberries, hazelnuts, can be eaten with
relish as they are served in the free restaurant
of Nature. Honey and milk cannot be i'm
proved by French methods of cookery. Cereals
need but little preparation. But knocked
cabbage would be a sorry diet, and DR.. Zm-
norman asks the suggestive question if our
forefathers, before the invention of cookery,
can be supposed to have Toasted on the flesh OF
their fellow creatures2

FLESH FOOD.

The first men were, perhaps, not even able to
catch wild animals; Nature almost forced them
to content themselves with a frugal diet. And
even supposing stout child, left to the instruc-
ton of its instincts, were TO be locked up with
a lamb or young goat and full set of butch
ers tools, would the starving infant try to save
its life at the expense of its fellow kids :?
Hardly sooner than starving panther would
try to still his hunger with bagful of apples.
The panther, in the child's place, would need
but little encouragement to turn the lamb into
mutton, and the child would ask no better fun
than private interview with an apple-sack.
The lessons OF anatomy could explain the re-
suits of that experiment. Our whole organism
is strictly that of frugivorous animal. Our
entrails bear no resemblance to those of flesh
eating brute. Our dentition is entirely differ
entfrom that of the carnivorous wolf or the om-
niyorous pig, but, tooth for tooth, corresponds
with that of the fruit-e eating monkey Our
hands are made for tree-climbing and apple
plucking, rather than for scratching and tear.

HABTTUAL eLUTToNs.

Inc rare case OF gluttonouS f0noneSS IOr
strictly wholesome food can nearly always be
traced to the influence of involuntary orereating.
Nurslings are often surfeited with the most
wholesome of all possible nutriments by being
enticed to guzzle till they literally run over
like an 0verflled vessel, and from misconcep-
ton of the true cause educational reformers have
jumped to the strange conclusion that the nat
ural depraVity of man manifests itself IN the
propensities of baby, and that infants ought
to be stinted in their appetites to save them
from the consequences of their vicious instincts.
We might just as well stick to the superstition
of the French nurses who nearly smother their
babies with sWaddling- clothes to prevent them
from INDUCING their desire for over-eZercise.
Nature, we may be sure, knows what she is
about Children who have the free use of their
limbs grow quicker, get stouter and sleep
sounder in log cabin than sWaddled num-
my in the Palace OF Versailles: and the farm
er's wife who lets her babies follow the prompt
ing of their dietetic instincts and simply
refrains from artificial enticements has better
chance of success than the theoretical nurse
who times their meals with a chronometer.
Yankee inventors have patented some dozen
different "calfweaners that have probably
increased the profits of as many thousand
dairies but no stock-raiser would be apt to
maintain that they have furthered the interest
of the calves. Gluttons are not born, but
trained. An effective method of a training
school of that sort is the habit of urging chill
dren to " have another plateful," or of forcing
them to down disagreeable dish. The habit
of overeating is thus Systematically developed,
just as our boy-topers acquire morbid craving
for strong drink by Designating the protests
of Nature. Do not tell children that they must
learn to deny themselves that they must
"stop eating while food tastes best" They
naturally fail TO see the logic of such precepts,
and confound them with illiberal restrictions
of harmless enjoyments. Let them eat their
fill within the limits of distinct appetite, but
call their attention TO the fact that the doubt
full pleasure of stutfing themselves beyond those
limits is far outweighed by the consequent
penalty-the mental and physical oppression
that follows every snrfeit. especiallY in warm
