Tho Diversion. of Bishops.

Fencing. as rule is not cultivated by &C.
clesiastics, unless, perhaps, they happen to be
military chaplains. There are, however, at
present in France, an archbishop and two
bishops. who are experts in the use of the
foils. Mgr. Ardin, archbishop of Sens, has a
bout with the skewers every morning in his
palace. The bishop of Chalons mgr. Latty) is
also good fencer, but these two prelates are
distanced by Bishop Batifoler, OF Mende, who
is not only an agile escrimeur, but rides and
drives well some OF the most finished
sportsmen OF the Jockey club, thus showing
that the cares and responsibilities of diocese
are not incompatible with the cultivation OF
worldly plishments.

Los Angeles was simply out of sight in the

A local contem porsry yesterday morn
ing said editorially:

luB bulO oultuIlhlly.
The people of the United States have about
$1,000. 100000 in the savings banks of the
country. 1.-THE government needs 500, OoO-
900 or $500,000,0o0 or 1000, O00, 900 the
people will furnish it promptly by withdraw
ing portion of their savings from the banks
and investing them in government bonds, pro-
vided they be given an opportunity to do so.
According to the official statement of
the secretary Of the treasury made Jan.
uary l. 1895, the total amount OF money
in the country, outside OF tho United
States treasury, was $l,626 sos, 1922.
Our contemporary seems to assume that
81, SOC. 900, 600 OF this is on deposit liz the
savings banks Of the country and avail
able for investment in United States
bonds. II the savings banks have ON
hand even one.third Of the estims ted
amount Of their deposits, what would
be the effect OF the withdrawal OF $780,
000,0 Of 1t for investment in United
States bonds upon the solveney OF these
bankks? tits . very small proportion
OF the savings bank deposits that are
payable on demand. Ths most o.! them
are payable only after certain notice.
The purpose in selling these bonds is
to get gold. Botwhere Ia the gold to be
got by the people who are to buy these
bonds? How much gold is in the hands
of the people or available to them? Ac-
cording to the Same authority above re-
ferred to, the total stock Of gold in the
country in the form OF money and out
eide OF the United States treasury on the
LIST of January, 1895. was $4S5. SOL 1915.
How are the savings banks to get the
gold to supply their depositors who want
to buy bonds?

FALLAcY OF A POPULAR BOND
LOAN.


H.. M.
The erroneous opinion and statement OF
facts relating to finances in the United States
are among the greatest difficulties in the way
of correct action.
1t is popularity supposed that an issue OF
bonds in small sums of $50 to $50 would be
taken up by the people, and in support OF this
they cite that the people have deposited in the
savings banks of the nation $I,777, 1888, 242,
and that it would be an easy thing for them to
take up $500, 100000 or $5Oo.oo0,o0o or
$1,000, 100000 of bonds and help the govern
ment.
What are the facts? The above figures repre-
sent the amount due depositors. That is, the
savings banks are indebted to the people in
the above sum.
But how much cash have those banks on
hand with which to pay that amount of debt?
The comptroller's report for 1894. p. 80,
shows that all savings banks in the United
States have only

A wax cast of the face of Napoleon was
made surreptitiously the night after his
death by an attending physician, DR.. Ar
mott 1t was sold by him tor S15, 600 TO the
king of Wurtemberg, from whom, some
years later, it was stolen, and put on eX-
hibition in London. Then it was secured
by Napoleon Ill, on the payment of a
ransom of $4,000, and kept with great
care at the Tuileres until, during the VIC,
lent days of the Commune, it disappeared.
Two reproductions of this remarkable cast,
one in full face and one in profile will ap
pear in McClura's Magazine for February,
and its story will be told by the man who
had the cast in his keeping while it was at
the Tuileries, Baron de ST. Pol, formerly
private secretary of the late Emperor Ma
poeon III, This publication appears as a
feature of the remarkably entertaining
life of Napoleon, now running in the pages

The Vermont Brigade.
why II Was the "OId Guard Of the
Army Of the Potomac"


From one Of "Cton,ne-r's" articles in the Na.
tiona Tribune
have received letter from a comrade
signing himself "a. +. Gleason Of llarris's
West Virginia Brigade but not giving
the number Of hs regiment. He says:
"You never miss an opportunity to heap
praise upon the Vermont Brigade. You
say they were the best infantry IN the
world that they never knew what defeat
was; that they never had any stragglcrs,
and so forth. And then you call them
The Old Guard of the Army OF the Po-
tomac.'
"Now, admitting for the sake of argu-
trent that all this is true, will you explain
why il was? Does Vermont raise better or
Drawer men than any other state?'
In reply To- this have to say that the
extraordinary quality Of the Vermont Brl-
gade was due 10 several facts.
j. They were nearly all native Ameri-
cans. The exceptions were few ltish.-
men and French Canadians, who were
always good soldiers.
2. Most of them were lineal descendants
of the Revolutionary heroes OF bennington
and Bemis flights, saltwater and Saratoga.
/ have heard them when starting on a
bayonet charge call for Three cheers fer
Molly Stark =" and "Hurrah for Ethan
Allen :"
>. They were all farm or country village
raised boys; not corrupted by the assocl-
ations and not enervated by the vices OF
great cities
i. They were i'm dead earnest. The
auti-savery sentiment was stronger and
more universal in Vermont than in any
other state The personal feeling Of the
individual soldiers of the Vermont Brigade
toward the rebels was more bitter than
ever observed in any other command. 1t
was almost equal to the animosity Of Crom-
wells Roundheads toward the cavaliers.
b. They solidly represented their state,
no other than Vermont troops being ad-
mitted to the brigade, except one New Jer-
sey regiment temporarily, and their pride
was very great.
6. The officers who commanded them,
from Gen Lewis Grant down, had been
their near neighbors and friends at home,
and were their close comrades and friends
in the field
: Their physical average was very high
Their losses from diseases were proportion
ately less than those of any other similar
command in the army.
All these statements can be verified by
consulting the official records of the Re
/ bellion.
In a word, | answer Comrade Gleason's
| inquiries by saying that the old Vermont
/ Brigade was the best in the army, because
/ it was made up, more exclusively than any
/ other, of old-fashioned, homespun Yankee
/ soldiers-the truest that ever pulled trig-
ger and the bravest that ever faced foe
"Cannoneer's' claim can be abundantly
supported by the official figures anywhere.
For instance, in the Wilderness fight Of
May >, 1864 ont OF 3,096 men OF all ranks,
the brigade lost 299 killed, $50 wounded,
~ captured, and just 4 unaccounted for
Moreover most of the captured were
wounded

Henry Ward Beecher,s Successor.


~ rom lhe Boston iran script
Considerable interest has been manifest
ed of late to learn what success Rev. Ly-
man Abbott, d. D., has had in Brooklyn
as the successor of Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, A gentleman who has been a
prominent member of that church during
a period covering nearly the whole of Mr..
Beecher's ministry, and all of Dr. Abbotts,
states that the large church has been and
is now well-flled every Sunday, Though
not paid quite so large a salary as was paid
to his illustrious predecessor, he receives
more than most ceTgymen in this country,
viz, SIS, 900. He uses no notes for his
pulpit ministrations, but his sermons are
models for compact original thought, and
are geographically reported, as were Mr.
Beecher's. He is heard and read by multi
itudes of people, not only in this country,
but abroad. He is too broad, too catholic
and too great a thinker to be penned in by
any strictly UNCONVENTIONAL lines, and CON
sequently he has a great following; for
there never was a time in the history of
the church when sectarian lines were so
little regarded.

Hon. Philetu, Sawyer OF Oshkosh, Wis,
who is a native Nermonter, born in Whit

said 10 be returned to the United States
Senate. He served ten years in the House

entered the Senate in 1881, was reelected in
1887 and was retired by the Democratic
legislature in 1892 The New York Even
ing Post remarks eve nave seen a sena-
tor reelected, as in the case Of Mr.. Morrill,

never before has a man who was not in
public life sought the Office at such an age.

ed with alarm by the younger Republicans
Of Wisconsin, for the rich old lumberman
has always had a very taking way with
members Of the legislature, and if he once
gets back to Washington, there is no tell
ing how long he will insist upon staying
in the Senate 1t happens, curiously,
that Senator Villas, whom Mr.. Sawyer
wishes to succeed, is also Y ermonter.
