Why should the people Of this coun-
try toady to the old world sociallyl
Why should we not develop social
usages Of our own, as refined and
gracious as those Of the old world
and adapted to the free and equal oiti-
zens Of a republic? So long as we copy,
apelike, both the clothes and customs of
European society we by that admit that
we are inferior to the people of Europe.
In nothing is this blind subservienoy
to old world social notions more mani
fest than on the occasions when a for
eign nobleman purchases an American
wife. 1t is the custom for man who
thus buys title for his daughter in
Europe to settle large sum on the hus-
band That is what the count or mar
quis stoops down from his alleged high
station and takes the plain citizen s
daughter for. 1t is the custom there
for her to have a dowry when she
takes husband, and the dowry is
often the chief inducement to the
man. 1t is the practice in America
for a man to be manly enough to take
a woman for herself alone, willing
and glad for the sake Of his affec-
tion for her to trust to his good right
hand to support her and himself too
Why should there be any change to suit
foreigners? Why, when foreign roue
asks the hand of an American girl,
should not her sturdy citizen father an
swer: ''It is not the custom in the Unit
ed States for brides to have dowries. It
is considered unmanly for husband to
allow himself to be supported by his
wife's money. If you take my daugh-
ter, you take her without cent" If
Americans had backbone enough to
stand up like that we should see-well,
many million dollars that now go out
Of this country as the dowries Of brides
bought with title would remain in it,
that is all.

soon as the ground was favorable both
regiments quickened the gait to trot,
and when within short pistol range
charged the enemy simultaneously upon
his front and flank.
Hearing the t'charge" sounding from
the cavalry bugles, the enemy stood only
long enough to fire one volley, and then
attempted to escape under cover of the
gathering darkness. The pike soon be-
came blocked with wagons, FORCES and
ambulances, all striving to get to the
rear in the shortest possible time. When
about mile from the bridge, the First
Vermont captured a piece of artillery,
the first taken by the Union army on
that day. General Custer, after telling
the Vermonters that he would be salts
fed with them if they got a single gun,
had stopped to direct the movements Of
the remainder of the division. Colonel
Wells and his command were not con-
tented with one gun, but continued the
advan CO at a sharp trot.
In the mad rush no time and but few
men could be spared to look after cap
tured property Or prisoners, so that it
never could be definitely determined
just how much Of the spoils of ar be-
longed to each Of the regiments, but
they had fought side by side for moro
than three years, and neither was jeal-
GUS of the other and only stood up for
their combined rights against the claims
Of other regiments which did not par
ticipate in reaping the harvest of VIC
tory. The trophies Of the two regiments
consisted Of five colors and IS guns, be-
sides numerous caissons and ambulances
and about 1, 900 prisoners Of the 48
guns captured by the Union forces in
this battle %, or but one less than half,
were accorded to the Vermont regiment.
Of the eight medals Of honor awarded
to the cavalry for captures Of colors at
Cedar creek three went to the First Yer
mont and two to the Fifth New York.
The First Vermont lost 10 officers and
1874 troopers killed in battle. They fell
on A different fields. The severest loss
in single battle was in Farnsworth's
charge, where 10 were instantly killed
and 8 out Of IS wounded died on tho
field. GEORGE L. KILMER.

made their way out as best they could.
Major Wells, with the larger portion Of
the command, turned toward the south
and passed through a gap in the enemy's
line. Others made their way'out be-
tween the Round Tops, while a few
skirted the base Of Round Top and passed
through the skirmish line Of the old
Vermont brigade, each of the parties
bringing In about as many prisoners as
they had men.
On the morning of Oct 10. 1854, the
First Vermont, with the Eighth and
Twenty seoond New York, battalion
OF the First New Hampshire and SQUAD
ron of the Third Indiana, composing
the Second brigade Of Clusters cavalry
division, lay on the right Of the Union
line guarding the fords at Cedar creek.
Colonel Wells Of the First Vermont COM
manded the brigade. The men were
aroused little before daylight by rat
tie Of musketry in the direction Of the
picket line, which was nearly mile to
the front, and in a few minutes they
were in saddle ready for whatever the
day might have in store for them. Dur
ing the forenoon the brigade and part of
the time the regiment alone, under Gus
ter's personal direction, galloped from
point to point fighting with Rosser's
cavalry. Before Sheridan's arrival at
midday Clusters whole division had
broken through the enemy's right flank
and thrown Rosser's column off on the
flank, separating it from the Confeder-
ate infantry.
The lines Of the enemy rested along
the Union breastworks on the north
bank Of Cedar creek, and General Sheri-
dan ordered Custer to charge the breast
works, swing to the left and secure what
he could. But SO rapid were the Con-
federates in their progress to the rear
that before this movement could be ex-
ecuted they were nearly all safely across
the creek, and but few prisoners were
secured. Colonel Wells, with the First
Vermont, moved down through q mar
row wooded ravine which led to a ford
across Cedar creek. Captain Watson,
commanding the first squadron, rode
across, and finding the enemy still re-
treating called his men over, and they
advanced, skirmishing, until they
reached stone wall, about 60 rods from
the creek, where they received volley
from some of Pegram's infantry who
bad rallied and were endeavoring to
form behind the wall. Captain Watson
was severely wounded in the shoulder,
and the squadron halted until the re-
mainder Of the regiment came up. Just
as the formation was completed General
Custer came up with the Fifth New
York cavalry, which was all the force
that could then be spared from the first
brigade to- assist the Vermonters, now
more than mile from any support.
The situation was desperate, and not a
moment was to be lost. Ten thousand
veteran infantry were within rifle range,
and although broken and dispirited for
tho: time they might, in a very few
minutes, prepare successfully to resist a
very, much stronger force. The First
Vermont was on the right and the Fifth
New York on the left Of the pike. AS

1t is an excellent plan, that which is
taking shape in some Of the great cities
for public bathing and laundry estab-
lishments. In all the poorer districts Of
city the public bath, conducted in the
cleanest, most inviting manner, will in
some measure equalize the lot Of the
poor and the rich. In the few rooms in
to which the very poor are crowded
there is no space for bathtub or laun-
dry. The public washhouse, with all
modern appliances, ought to be avail
able at very small cost to the women
of the tenement houses. The public
bath, supplied with the luxury Of hot
and cold water, marble slabs, douches
and plunges, must come for humble
working people. A small charge should
be made for those whose self respect
will not permit them to accept charity.
Besides these there should be connected
and adjoining department in which
the baths are entirely Free Into these
tramps and others who will not wash
should be thrust neck and heels at least
once week. Many of the states have
compulsory education laws We ought
to have compulsory bathing laws too.
An admirable suggestion has been made
for constructing baths in the Easements
OF public school buildings for the use of
the children.

Getting Rid Of the Peers.

How to abolish the house Of lord.
without hurting Its feelings too muoh
is problem with which England must
grapple at the close of the nineteenth
century. A sentiment is growing that
hereditary legislative house is an an
aohronism in this enlightened age.
Why, because q man is born with IT,
tie, he is endowed with any peculiar
wisdom for making laws to govern his
fellow countrymen is question the
British people are asking oftener and
oftener of the British constitution. The
answer is bound to come before many
years, and it is bound to be against the
lords.
Mr.. G. Swift McNeill, M. p, gives
in the London Fortnightly Review a
way of his own for destroying the
hampering power Of the peers. When
parliament meets, it does so by sum-
mons of the queen. Mr.. McNeill sug-
gests that the queen simply omit to
summon certain Of the lords The min
istry will suggest the names Of those
whom they wish to have summoned,
and only these will receive the royal
writ to attend. The rest will know that
they are not wanted because they stub
bornly oppose the will of the people as
expressed through the house of COM
mons.
1t is certainly the prerogative Of the
crown to summon such lords as the
ministry choose. This prerogative was
exercised in the time of Edward I, and
it has never been abrogated by parlia-
ment. It would certainly be an effect
i've way of downing the opposition of
the lords and making them subservient
to the dominant political party.

TRIALS OF A TEACHER.

The school teacher is very poorly
paid for his wearisome work Of i'm
parting wisdom to his pupils, if many
Of his pupils are like the one describ-
ed in the following dialogue. The boy
found it difficult to understand simple
arithmetic.
Teacher-Suppose, Fritz, you have a
stocking on enc foot, and you put an
other stocking on the other foot. how
many would you have on both feet?
Boy never wear no stockings
Suppose your father has one pig in
pen, and he buys another pig and
puts it in the pen, how many pigs viii
there be in the pen?"
Dad don't keep no pigs
The teacher blew n heavy sigh from
his tired lips, wiped the Precipitation
from his scholastic brow, and went at
1t again with renewed courage.
suppose you have one Jacket, and at
Christmas your father makes you a
present of another jacket, how many
jackets viii you have them"
He amt that kind OF a, father He
never gives nothin on Christmas"
Suppose your father gives you one
apple, and you have one already, what
viii you have then?"
Stomach ache. Our apples are
cookin' apples.
The teacher was not the man to be
discouraged at trifles He began TO
suspect that the boy was not we'll up
in arithmetic, but he resolved to make
one more effort, so he said:
IF a poor little beggar boy has a
cake. and you give him one more, how
many will he have?"
Il dunno. / eat my own cakes"
Then the teacher told the children to
go out and play.-TeXas Siftings.
