A COURAGEOUS GIRL.
The Heroine of Telegraphic Story of the
Battle of Gettysburg.

1t was my privilege to meet with the
"Old Time Telegraphers'' in Kansas City
recently, and one of our many good
times" was visit to the Soldiers Homo
near Leavenworth, Kas.
You are not to have description of
that beautiful retreat now, but only a
little telegraphic story OF the battle of
Gettysburg told me by Captain o. R.
McNary, Post No. 6, who was we'll ac-
quainted with it's heroine, and was
near her temporary Office during tho
battle.
When the enemy entered the town
driving away the citizens, the railroad
station operator, a young girl, took the
machine from the operating table, con-
nected the wires so as to preserve the
circuit intact and carried the instrument
to Cemetery Hill a quarter of a mile dis
tant. Placing it upon block of wood
she instructed the boys how to cut the
line and reconnect the wires, and seated
upon the ground sent and Ieceived news
for the officers all through the battle,
faltering not in her resolution when the
brains of man struck by she'll not
six feet away were scattered over her
faithful to her post throughout all those
awful scenes for three days. When tho
end came she replaced the telegraphic
machinery in its old position and re-
sumed her work in the station.
1t is story that belongs in history,
but like many another incident of that
time-especially wherein women were
the heroes-remains unrecorded.

RANDOM SHOTS.

GEORGE B. DREAMER, of Baltimore,
Md, the new Junior Vice-Commander-
in-Chief served in the campai gns of the
Army of Western Virginia as an enlisted
man in the Tenth Maryland Infantry,
and has been an active member of the
Grand Army of the Republic since
1867.
A NOVEL idea in connection with the
National encampment of the Grand
Army in Detroit next year already is
broached. 1t provides instead of the
customary parade, for all veterans pres
ent to be grouped upon huge raft upon
the river to be viewed from passing
boats.
AN Irishman of Company d, Third
Maine, was eloquently describing the
first battle of Bull Run, in which he had
been one of the promptest participants.
A member of the Seventeenth Maine
asked Pat: "Did you run?" Faith and
l did" replied Pat, "and fellers that
didn't are there yet"
GENERAL WHEELoCK G. VEAssY, Com
mander-in- Chief, of the Grand Army OF
the Republic, has just filled ono Of the
most important offices in that organiza-
tion, by the appointment of Judge Will
liam Lochran, as Judge-Advocate
General. Judge Lochran is on the bench

gone into my body. 1t wac great ro
lief when found it was my thumb"
General William G. Oats, M. G. Of
Alabama, was ono of the worst shot men
who served on either side, and yet lived
to tell tho tale. He was severely wound
ed six timos and left his right arm in
front of Richmond, after taking part in
twenty-seven battles. He was first shot
in his right arm, then in the right leg,
then in the left hip, and completely
through the right thigh and hip, then
in the head, then in tho right
arm. When he got his last and most
dangerous clip he was trying to hold
Hancocl's left in check.
General" said, show does it feel to
be wounded?"
"When mimic ball strikes you at
short distance, as the ball did which
took off my arm, you feel stunning
shock, very much as If man had struck
you with a bricl1bat. After that you
feel the pain-sharp, stinging, cutting,
as If thousand knives decorating every
nerve, and red-hot Goals were consuming
your vitals. Then follows sickening
sensation, caused by loss of blood, and
if you are fortunate you loso conscious
ness and forget you pain.
"After l lost my arm secondary hem
orrhage set in. l lost SO much blood
that 1 was speechless. The doctors
thought Twas going to die, and believed
so too. There was consultation of
some five or six ply ysicians, and they
discussed what was best to be done. A
certain operation was proposed by ono
of the surgeons and objected to by the
others as being too dangerous, but the
one answered that / was bound to die
any way, so that it made but little diff
ference what they attempted. They
imagined that 1 could not understand
what was said. but did, and my men,
tai faculties were so keen that my
whole life came up before me like

THEY LIVE FOR LOVE.
Mexican Women Interest Themselves
Only in Heart AGairs.

Only in Heart Anairs.
The Mexican educates his sons and
sends them to college, but his daughters
have to remain with their mother.
There are too many women there and
they live for nothing but love. They
become accomplished of course, but be-
yond being good entertainers, good
Mexicans and good linguists they do
not amount to much.
1t is considered disgrace for Mexi-
can lady to earn her own living. The
men do the cooking and male servants
do the housework. If young lady
should learn stenography and typewrit-
ing, or should try in any manner to earn
her own living, she would be ostracized
from society. There are many heiresess
there and there are many Mexican ad-
ventures who make their living marry
ing them.
They are handsome, indolent spend
thrifts and the ladies fall in love with
them. A Mexican woman's beauty fades
early, and when a wealthy heiress mar
ries one of these mon she mover lives
long. When she dies her husband i'm
variably marries another wealthy girl.
A Mexican lover must WOO in patience,
as his intentions are, from the start,
treated as family matter by the pa
rents of the beloved Of his soul. He is
bound by custom to make known to his
lady-love his desire to pay his addresses.
If the communication is pleasant he ia
referred to the mothor and the siege OF
the maiden's heart may be said to be
begun.
Custom compels the youth to execute
movement called playing the bear"
which consists of daily afternoon
promenade before tho shaded jalouslo
behind which sits the maiden, flanked
by her mother, sisters, female cousins
and aunts.
Before such battery of black eyes
the suitor must pace back and forth for
at least twenty minutes day. He may
toss note up into the jalonsie, If so be
he has sufficient courage TO face tho
party, but his missives are read by the
mother before they are delivered to his
love.
His love may answer the notes, but
her replies must be read and edited by
her mother before they are given to the
stately senior pacing up and down in tho
blazing tropical sun. II the suitor ID
approved by the family, he is soon per
| mitted to talk to the senorita, still in
the presence of her family. Ere long
no Is allowed to call, and thenceforth
| the wooing progresses more in accord
Rnce with American views.--N Y. Jour.

ELECTRIC-LIGHT BUGS.
An EntomoIogist Says They Belong Co
Disreputable Family.

Tho electric-light bug, 4 big, ugly
"critter," about two inches long, with
yearning after electric lights, which
gives him his name, has often been the
occasion of comment and speculation.
He was never met with until the elec.
trio light made its appearance, and it is
matter of curiosity as to how he spent
his evenings before the electric light
came into use.
The scientists have located him. After
nightfall he is drawn to the lights by
the glare from his watery home. 1t is
the largest United States representative
of the genus BeIostoma, the same family
to which the bedbug and field chinch,
the louise and the squash bug belong.
So his relations are not such as to COM
mend him. This particular bug lives in
sluggish streams, marshes and swamps.
The light attracts him, which he haunts
until tired out, when he falls to the
pavement.
The body of the insect onds in two
respiratory tubes. 1t is provided with
suctoral tube, through which it re-
ceives its nutrition in a fluid from plants
or aquatic animals. The insects, which
have sometimes been scattered over the
pavements on the paved streets, forty or
fifty to tho lamp, arc not very danger
Gus to man unless they succeed in in
serting their strong beak into the skin
of the hand. In such case very pain
full wound is made.
A milky fluid is injected into the hurt
and the pain is followed by stupor from
the fluid. This bug is very rapacious
and captures and destroys large num-
bers of small fishes, water beetles and
larv@, which it easily docs with its
large, powerful beak. Its prey is held
between its forelegs, while the juice OF
its victim is extracted. 1t is browL'
black in color and quito agile in swim,
ming, flying or walking. Its element
seems to be water, and tho paddle
shaped arrangement Of its hind legs
J show this.-N. j. Journal.

From heart TO heart, the tidings sped;
From lip 10 lip the message rang;

Earth smiled upon her Prophets way:
Tho skies of winter softer shono;
And bnlmv were the ocean gales
That gently urgodhs feet barque on.
The hstning air hushed silence kept,
Then thrilled with answering bugles clear

We heard our brothers welcoming checri
Oh soul to SOUL we fo't your Joy,

Who led thy captive people forth!
We too, have heard our Prophets voice,
And message of n grandcr worth.
Did we not follow where he passed.
With spirit vision undenicd.
Did not our hearts within us burn,

tofore to express our belief shat Il was
the ideal of taxation, unatCainable for
q good while to come ana without long
agitation and progressive advances, but
resting on irrefragible logic. Its ad-
vantages would be many. 1t reduces
taxation to absolute simplicity and cor-
tainty and the utmost eillciency-thati is
to say, the form which would bring tho
greatest ratio of revenue with the small
est cost and difficulty of collection. 1t
would absolutely free from the inequali'
ties that characterize all existing sys.
tens of taxation, for all land, by whom
soevor held and for whatever purpose
used, would pay revenue in precise pro-
portion to the advantage derived from
holding and using it, Moreover, 1t
would bo tho form of taxation that
would interfere least with the processes
of production and of trade, and there
fore be the least of a burden upon the
community. We do not think it would
accomplish all that has beon claimed
for it in affording opportunities for la
Dor and relief from poverty, which has
many causes, but it would afford the very
mercial freedom and facilitate a more
equal distribution of opportunities and
of the results of production and cx.
change. 1t would bring about free
trade which would be absolute in its eX'
emption from burden, restriction and
perversion by public authority.
AS an ideal system it is we'll that this
form of taxation should have its earnest
and persistent advocates, that it should
be the subject of agitation and discus
sion, that organizations should be form
ed and conferences held to promote it.
1t has a sort of analogy to the old free
soil and anti-slavery idea without its
sectional aspect; but there is vast deal
of this process of revolutionizing public
sentiment to be done before it can be-
come n practical question in politics and
legislation. But all tax reform must
move in this general direc tion-in the
direction of removing burdens and re-
strictions from industry and trade, and
in the direction of simplicity and GER
tainty. We have long advocated deriv-
ing all taxes for State and local pur-
poses-excepting such special expedi-
ents as obtaining revenue from corpora
tions that hold public franchises-from
real estate as distinguished from per-
sonal property, and reducing the ma
tional system of taxing trade to a purely
revenue basis with as much simplicity
and effectiveness and as little interfer-
ence with the natural laws of trade as
possible. These would be long steps in
a III of
ment, and they are steps that may be
taken as soon as the people can be con-
vinced of their advantage. They are
steps that must be taken before there
can be any headway beyond them. They
are within the range OF practical discus
sion and feasible legislation. The single
tax is a remote ideal, and the conference
of this week will serve to make it better
understood and will stimulate the work
ing of the leaven.
