almost complete control Of the choir
and introduced their elaborate poly
phonic school of music, which prevailed
until Palestrina, the most famous lead
er the choir has ever known, was
called upon to take charge of it and
simplify the character Of the chant
music. In 1865 Pope Plus ". con-
ferred on Palestrina the title Of com.

a WOMAN'S COURAGE.
An Incident of the First Days Battle at
Gettysburg

Gettysburg.
Mrs. Peter Thorn, of Gettysburg.
lived in the house at the entrance of
the borough cemetery. The house was
used as headquarters by Gen. 0. 0.
Howard. Mrs Thorn's husband was
away from home at that time Serving
in the Hundred and Forty-eighth regi.
ment of Pennsylvania volunteers and
stationed in Virginia), leaving her with
two quite young children. During the
first day of the fight Gen. Howard
wanted some one to show him and tell
about different roads leading from Get
tysburg, and asked number of men
and boys who were in the cellar of the
house to go with him and point them
out. But these persons were all fear
full and refused to go. Then Mrs Thorn
showed her courage and patriotism by
voluntarily offering to show the roads.
This offer was at first refused by
Gen. Howard, who said he did not wish
a woman TO do what man had not the
courage to do. Mrs. Thorn persisted
in her offer, saying: Somebody must
show you, and 1 can do it; / was born
and brought up here and know the
roads as well as anybody" Her offer
was accepted, and with the general and
his horse between her and fire of the
enemy, Mrs. Thorn went from one spot
to another, pointing out the different
roads. When passing along the line of
troops, the general was greeted with:
why do you take a woman FOR a
guide? This is no place for her ]" II
know" said the officer. but | could
not get man to come; they were all
afraid
This answer to them started cheers
for Mrs. Thorn, which lasted several
minutes and showed that our soldiers
admired the courage shown at such "a
time. The Veteran
