. weak force he had to contend with.
and it was his intention to sweep over
Fort Stevens on the morning of the
18th Of July, capture every one in the
fort, and move on into the capital city
with his victorious troops
At midnight on the 18th of July the
Sixth corps of the Army Of the Poto-
mac landed at the wharf on the Poto-
mac and marched up along Seventh
street road. over which the cable cars
now go changing, over the highway,
beyond the boundary up to the heights
where now the beautiful suburban viii
lage is located. Just before sunrise
this splendid corps of veteran soldiers
formed in line of battle behind the
earthworks of Fort Stevens, and there
the tired and weary soldiers fell down
upon the ground into the sound slumber
which it was so easy in those days for
the veterans to take whenever they
had a period of rest. For about two
hours along these heights the soldiers
slept. when they were aroused by the
oncoming of the confederate veterans
who anticipated an easy victory over the
soldiers and department
clerks who were known to be defend
ing the fort the night before. AS they
came forward upon their charge with
with a hurrah and yell, they were

Grant was preparing, by movement
south ON the Weldon railroad, to in.
vest Petersburg. At this time Gen.
Lee prepared one of his celebrated
flank movements which had thereto
fore always been successful in driv.
ing the Army of the Potomac back to
the defenses of Washington. Gen.
Jubal A. Early with a corps of confed-
crate soldiers had swung around to the
rear of the Army of the Potomac and
was threatening the national capital.
Gen. Grant did not withdraw the Army
of the Potomac to the defenses of
Washington, but directed Gen. Wright
to proceed to the defense of the ma
tional capital with the old fighting
Sixth corps. and that order was imme-
diately obeyed with creditable haste
zeal and discretion.
On the 9th day of July, 1864, Gen.
Lew Wallace, with an inferior force,
bsttled with Gen. Early at Monoca-
cy. Nd, and delayed the progress Of
the confederate leader toward Wash
ington. But Wallace was ultimately
brushed aside and Early came on with
the avowed intention of capturing and
despoiling the city. On the evening
of the 18th of July the confederate
army under Gen Early appeared be-
before Fort Stevens and camped there
for the night All of the convalescent
soldiers in the hospitals of Washing
ton and all of the clerks in the de-
partments who were able to bear arms
were mustered into the service and sent

Blarney stone, which is set in an ex-
act reproduction of the historic castle.
The entrance to the village is a gem
of early Celtic architecture, bearing over
the portal the words ''Cead Mile
Failte," which, translated, bids the Wis
itor q hundred thousand welcomes.
Once within the mimic city, the
stranger finds much to instruct and
amuse. Here the process of dairying,
lace-making and other Irish industries
are faithfully represented, and the time
may be pleasantly passed in listening
to genuine Irish songs, dances. etc.
The funds to sustain this enterprise
were subscribed by people of every po-
litical and religious faith in Ireland
and by public-spirited citizens of this
country. There is another Irish village
in the Plaisance, on the right-hand side
further west, which offers many fea-
lures of interest, but the one that has
the Blarney stone must, and very natu-
rally, attract the most attention.
A little further along the Plaisance,
on the right-hand side going west, there
is the Javanese village, of which SO
much has been said and written. With
out going into a detailed account of its
many queer features, we can but say
that it is well worth the price asked to
pass through this strange community.
J'he people themselves are the greatest
curiosities of this remarkable exhibit.
Their houses. mode of living and many
curios from the land of the Malay offer
ample interest for an hours visit, but
when the visitor leaves their gates he
does SO with an impression that there
is race that cannot well lay claim to
being anything like clean in their
habits
A little further along are the Ger
man villages, "Old Vienna on the left
and the German village proper on the
right, in either of which there is much
to be seen and heard that will afford the
visitor a profitable hours pause. Aside
from the beer and music, which are in
adjuncts to most all Ger
man entertainments, there is much to
please and instruct in the various pro-
auctions of art and industrial skill.
The concerts in themselves are always
q great attraction for lovers of martial
music, and great crowds of Germans are
drawn to the daily concerts
in these villages.

The Correct PrOnuncia:i zion Of This Title
.s Adopted by General Usage.
Since the opening of the fair it has
been matter to observe with regret
that the name of that strange thorough
fare wherein many nations are repre-
sented has been regularly and auda-
ciously mispronounced by large pro-
portion of the general public.
1t has been charged that in selecting
the title. Midway Plaisance," the park
commissioners made an unwarranted
incursion upon a foreign tongue, but
when one considers the inadequacy of
the word street." the effeminacy of
avenue" and the total impossibility
of boulevard" it is not hard to see
what led them to the choice. The real
ly wOeful consequence of their selec-
ton is to be found in the weirdly varied
pronunciation which some people give
it. ''Plezzunts" is common. so is ''play-
zance." ''Playzahants," with the accent
on the ultimate, is favorite. Ere

In the immediate neighborhood of
the German villages are the Turkish
mosques and baZars in which are
faithfully portrayed the different
phases of life in the oriental cities.
Regularly every day, at stated inter
walls OF about two hours, may be heard
the plaintive wall of the muezzin who
from his lofty perch on the mosque
calls his brethren to prayer.
Not word of the invocation is dis
tinguishable: the chant is simply a
long. somewhat melodious and plain
lively quavering information. It would
not become professional muezzin to
chant otherwise. He continues on this
strain for several minutes - long
enough for wonderfully cosmopolitan
crowd to collect: and as usual it is an
lrishman who volunteers the first criti-
cism of the performance.

Further along are the villages of the
Indians and Dahomeyans, the latter be-

in the Plaisance. This village recalls,

in an article in the Chautauquan, the
stories of Stanley, Livingstone, and
Paul du Chaillu. 1t is inclosed by
q fence made of bark with a platform
running along the top and the entire
distance of the Midway front There
are also signal towers near the entrance
and into these matched boxes black
and savage sentinels are to be seen
every day dancing madly when they
are not singing and shaking long loops
of goats hoofs. There is no doubt that
