A CURIOUS CASE.
A Portland Young Lady Who Has a
Wonderful Power.

A case was reported recently of young
Portland lady who might be called a
natural healer as she possesses magnetic
power to marked degree. She can by
rubbing cure the worst kinds of headache,
etc., but unfortunately whenever she does
it, she seems to take the pain and suffers as
the original victim did.
A PRESS reporter in conversation with q
member of her family recently, mentioned
the subject, and he admitted it at once. He
said, L am subject at times to severe at
tacks of neuralgia that last for some days
at time, during which it is almost impos-
sible to attend to business. 1t always lasts
just so long, and nothing seems to relieve
it SO when felt attack coming on few
days ago looked forward to an IN
pleasant period The lady in question
thought she could relieve it, and rubbed my
head a moment and presto, the pain was
gone, and has not returned. am sorry
though, to say she has had the neuralgia
ever since though, and must have taken
the pain from me.
Her mother Possesses the same magnetic
power, and is a valuable nurse from her
power over invalids.

A MAINE MONUMENT.
1t Marks the BIO0diest Battlefield in
History.

Pleasing Courtesies Extended by A. p. Hill
Camp of Confederates to Survivors of
the First Maine Heavy Artillery.
Last evening, Captain Horace H.
Shaw of this city, gave, by Invitation.
to Bosworth Post an account of the re-
cent dedication of the monument of the
First Maine Heavy ARTILLERY at Peters
burg, Va. There was a large attendan ce
of veterans, who listened with pleasure
and freq uent applause. Captain Shaw
said:
Monuments to individuals or organiza-
tions are of consequence only in proper
tion to the Importance of the event, time
and place they mark to history. If to
die for country be sweet, and if to bleed
in her defense be glorious, then the First
Maine Heavy Artillery has reason to be
proud of it's record and to glory in it's
scars.
The Portland daily press., 1894-10-13
MONUMENT AT PETERSBURG.

The Philadelphia Inquirer of Septem Der
30, informs it's readers that "the First
Maine Heavy Artillery has the distin-
gulshed honor of losing more men
Killed and wounded in battle than any
other OF the 2, 04O regiments which COM
posed the Union army"
The monument, the erection and dedi-
rable attention from the press, North
and South, marks the field and stands
IN the centre of the acre where they
made their heaviest loss. When General
Grant had crossed his army over the
James river, to the front of Petersburg,
Va, June Is, 1864, and when all attempt
made on the 10Th and 18th to capture
the city had failed, the Second Army
Corps was ordered to make an attempt to
carry the works by assault, over ground
known as the Hare, or New Market
farm. The First Maine Heavy Artillery.
then serving as infantry, $50 strong, was
designated as the stornling column. The
regiment was commanded BIZ General
Russell B. Shepherd Of Skowhegan, an
educated, brave and accomplished sol
der, then senior major, the colonel,
DanielsChaplin, being in command OF
the brigade Whatever may have been
the opinion of this capable commander
or his officers, concerning the wisdom of
the ASSAULT or possibility of it's success,
does not appear. They were all sol iiers,
accustomed to obey orders. To make
the run of 500 yards across the open field
and to force those strong works, bristling
with rifles and artillery, did not look
easy. But when the order came they
made the attempt. In ten minutes, 604
out of the $50 men and officers who
started, were stretched upon the field,
writhing in a volcano of iron, lead and fire.
The most of this fearful carnage oc-
CURED upon a single acre of ground. On
the following 25th of March, 1865, when
General Lee had determined to get away
from Richmond, Petersburg, and Grant
by cutting his way out, General J.B Cor
don with his brave troops attempted to
open the way, and made brilliant and
daring assault upon Fort Steadman,
charging over the same field.
This assault, like that of the First
Maine, was unsuccessful, but very costly
the Confederates making here one of the
heaviest losses in all their campaigns,
leaving upon 5theasame fatal sacre more
men than Maine had sacrificed. General
Lee says in his book that his loss in
that assault Was nearly 1000 men.
Upon this field, which the historian
will hereafter record as the bloodiest
acre upon the face of the earth the sur
vivors of the First Maine erected on
June 18th last, just thirty years after
the fatal charge, a monument in memo
ry of their comrades. This monument is
a simple but massive block of Maine
granite, with plinth and base standing
twelve feet high above the foundation.
The face of the die is polished, five and y
a half feet wide by seven feet ten inches
high. At the top is the coat of arms of
Maine, and under this the inscription

about their beautiful monument for the
Confederate soldiers, their children, and
their children's Children, would protect
it and honor it as sacred to the memory
OF brave men, though former enemies.
They stated that it had been their de-
sire to erect on this same spot a monu-
ment in memory of their comrades who
had fallen there, but as usual" said
they, the Yankees have got the start of
u.s."
Captain Shaw then went on to say
that he. felt it his duty to offer them the
privilege of erecting monument upon
the land he had purchased for the First
Maine. Upon receipt of this offer the
Confederates proposed for him and his
comrades three hearty cheers an d reb-
ell yell, and said they would submit the
matter to their camp. Captain Shaw
has just received an official letter from
the camp, thanking him for his courtesy
him that at no distant date a Confeder-
ate monument will be erected beside the
Maine monument, in accordance with
his suggestion that the two monuments
ought to stand together as a memento
that the war had ceased, that all parties
had accepted the result of the conflict,
and that henceforth there should be but
one nation and one flag.
At the conclusion of Captain Shaw's
address, remarks were made by Mr.. E.
G, SWEET and Major HIS. Melcher.

Caught in the Tempest.

Captain Gilbert of this city reports
that the schooner Josephine Swanton
had rough time during the late storm,
or tempest as it proved in this case. The
crew. had been fishing off MonheganFaIls
and there the storm caught them. They
dropped anchor andEproposed to ride out
the storm there, but in the midst of it
the cable parted, and there was nothing
to do but to run before the storm, and
under reefed foresail they made the
distance of 40 miles between there and
Five Islands in two hours. When Cap
tain Gilbert left, the Swanton was still
at Five Islands.
