The iron Brigade answered Reynolds
call for infantry at Gettysburg and went
| in at double quick, fixing bayonets and
loading their muskets on the run. Over
Seminary Ridge they dashed, into the
woods, past Reynolds as he stood on knoll
pointing out the way. His words of COM
mand died on his lips. A Confederate bril-
gade-Arcner's Tennesseans-was coming
at full speed across Willoughby run to
seize the woods. The Iron Brigade swung
into horseshoe shape and kept on, the
Twenty fourth crossing the run In the
end Archer's brigade was cut in two and
half captured, and the Iron Brigade rallied
and formed and changed front, charging
north on a new enemy. Sergt. Abel G..
Peck, who took the regiments presenta-
ticn banner out of Detroit, promising to
bring it home or fall with it, was the first
man killed in the regiment, and now to

reader may count up the color guard heroes
of that day. Big six foot Col. Lanigan lost
a leg, and the adjutant was wounded in
this affair.
The first line of battle of the brigade after

it retired to form new one. Then occurred
the well known incident of the Confeder-

Union boys fought: Here are those black

The Twenty-fourth had worn the polish
from its shoes, belts and uniforms, and
was quite as grimy though not so ragged
as the rest of the Iron Brigade and the
Army of the Potomac.

THE RUSSELL CASE,

LONDON, Dec. 3.-Interest in the great
Russell separation case shows not the
least sign OF abatement The court room
was densely packed this morning with an
audience eager for the proceedings to COM
mence
Sir Charles Russell continued his pres
entation of the case for the earl, which had
been interrupted by the adjournment of
the court yesterday evening. He gave a
different version of the quarrel at the
Albemarle hotel, stating that it arose
when the earl refused TO allow his wife to
attend the Ascot races
Immediately upon the conclusion of Sir
Charles RusselPs address, he called the
first witness for the defense. Professor
Roberts entered the witness box, and. in
reply to questions put TO him BY Sir
Charles Russell, testified that he was
friendly with the earl at college. He after
wards lecame RCQu tinted with the Scott
family. and after the marriage of the earl
and Lady Mabel Scott he visit ed at their
home The witness made a very emphatic
denial of the actions imputed TO him by
the countess in relation TO che earl Pro
fessor Roberts testimony being finished,
he resumed hisseat.
a thrill of expectation went through the
audience when Earl Russell was called to
take the stand in his own deters. The
earl declared that the statements made by
the countess that he left her and went TO
Professor Roberts bedroom were abso-
luteiy false There was not the slightest
reason 80 suggest any impropriety between
himself and Professor Roberts
In answer to questions, the earl stated
that be did not think that his wife's health
or nerves suffered during her married life
Her ailmeuts were caused by unaccustonl-
ed restraints.
At this poiut Sir Edward Clarke. repre-
sentlng the countess, asked the witness TO
give an instance of funRccusJomed restraint
The earl replied that one instance was
his limiting has wife TO six cigarettes a
day
The witness declared that be was not
undUly anxious TO have son. He denied
that he had ever Syorn AT his wife or cali
Ell her brute or a beast.
The earl's testimony had been so snicv
thai the people in the court room antici-
pated much endowment from ths ordeal he
was about TO undergo AT the hands Of Sir
Edward Clarke. Among the first oues-
tlons put TO the earl was one which caused
the audience TO prick up their ears. Il re-
feTred 10 the eari's conduct before mar
riage. In reply 10 it the earl admitted
that before he married he had seGuced
servants, but be said that he had told
Lady Mabel Scott, his fancee. all the cir
cumsiances, aud she found no reason to
discard him.
AT this point the court adjourned.

Most of the provinces have
chosen to do nothing, aud where priests
have died affairs remain vacant for want of
a salaried ministry. The BrazIlians. un-
accustomed to voluntary contributions
for clerical support, are learning TO ne
elect religion, and the church sees the peo-
pie slipping away from it. These circum-
stances have created bitter feeling and
tend to intensity the attachment of the
clergy for the Catholic house of Braganza.
which never neglected the church. The
government, on the other hand, which
paid little attention to the signs of clerical
discomfort, now recognizes the clergy As
politically hostile and possibly dangerous,
ana steps will doubtless be taken on the
reassembling of congress towards abolish
ing any remaining responsibility of the
federal government for the support of the
church establishment. Monsignor Spoil
verini, the papal nuncio, will shortly take
his departure from Brazil TO report the
condition OF affairs at the Vatican.
