An 1nc,dent of Kenesaw Mountain.

In the course of the battle there oc- cured pathetic incident showing that "blood is thicker than water" At one place on the mountain the dry leaves and brush began to burn, and the creep ing flames encircled many poor fellow lying helpless and in agony on the ground. The Confederates at that DOT tion of the line were ordered to cease firing, and then one of their officers called to the Federals and offered to suspend hostilities long enough to allow the removal of the disabled. While the Union soldiers bore their comrades to the rear, the Confederates looked o1s, and then the fighting was renewed.- Blue and Gray.

Boston's state house was invaded on Tuesday by crowd of ''the unemployed" ;" who presented memorial to the govern or and also one to the legislature, asking that the state provide work for them. Morrison I. Swift was spokesman. Gov. Greenhalge consented to go out and see them. He said to them that their me- morial "would receive respectful and care full consideration. You ask for employ ment (cries of "yes, yes") but you must consider that the functions and powers of the governor and of the legislature are limited, and that this is a government of laws and not of men. The governor has no despotic power, but he is bound by the laws, and so is the legislature, and those laws have been made by the people. If there is any wrong in them, it is the fault of the people. You say that you want public works to be started up. But there are difficulties in the way. What is the state? It is practically the tax payers. ment will be called to account for. No public works can be undertaken unless it | is, first, necessary; second, beneficial, and, third, unless there are sufficient funds to carry it on. Is not that reasonable ?" Later Morrison went to 'Doric Hall,' the state house vestibule, and made an in- fiammatory speech. "We will clean out state house, he cried out, eff we don't get what we want.'' The rabble, for such it was, accepted the declaration with en- thusias1n. Private Secretary Thomas was standing near and at the enunciation men, tioned repaired hastily to the governor and reported the state of affairs. Gov. Greenhalge grabbed his hat and headed for the scene of action. Meanwhile, how ever, Swift had finished and had ascended the stairs and stood outside the chamber door awaiting Representative Mellen, to have him introduce the petition. The governor met him.
 s'Did you say that you would clean out the state house ?" asked the governor. Swift covered. "I did," he half nut tered, "but I stated that we would do it with the ballot.n This was absolutely untrue.
 .'You wish to qualify it in that way, do you ?" continued his excellency.
 "Yes," replied the agitator."
 "Well,'' said the governor, clinching his hands, sI do not like that language, sir, and it won't be tolerated. warn you that will hold you personally responsi- ble.'' Swift's bravado was all gone. He quiet 1 1y slipped out of sight and mingled with the crowd that surged about. Soon after the state house and grounds were cleared by the police and order restored. In the house the petition was referred to com mfttee. Representative Mellen of Wor- lcester, labor reform man, in moving the reference severely denounced the meth ods and manner of the agitators who had presented it.

 A Frenchman in Southbridge has been taking advantage of the method of dis tributing the relief fund and has swindled the authorities out of about $40. This Frenchman, who can neither read nor write, applied for assistance and presented a little blue book, supposing it to be the one used by the officers in the distribution of the fund and in which the amount given was put down each time. ssThat isn't the order book" said the clerk. The man explained his ignorance, but insisted that it must be the order book. It was exam ined by the clerk and proved to be bank book in the Frenchman's name, showing a balance of $500 to his credit in the To- cal savings bank. He was taken over to the bank, compelled to reimburse the re- lief fund for what he had received, which amounted to $40, and then given some advice, strongly worded.
