DESCENDED FROM HESSTANS.
Curious and Exclusive Little Colony in
the Virginia Mountains.

About eight miles from Oharlostes-
vile, Va, surrounded on all sides by
a circle of low but steep and rugged
mountains, may he seen faint traces
of what was once a prisoners bar
rack of the revolutionary war. When
General BurgOyne surrendered at Sar-
atoga. the commanders of the CONT
mental army were greatly at Il loss to
know what to do with the large num-
Der of HesSian prisoners thrown npon
their hands. These men were finally
sent to what was then the remote
town TO Charlottesville on the border
Of civilization, where it was Thought
the situation and the unsettled condi-
ton of the country would prevent any
ATTEMPTED escape and thus render I'M
necessary a strong guard.
The prisoners remained quietly ats
their quarters the remainder of the
war, and came to be looked upon more
as settlers than as prisoners. The Hes
slams evidently preferred their life i'll
Virginia to fighting, for they not only
made no attempt at escape, but, after
the close of the war, were so pleased
with the situation that they deter
mined to settle there permanently.
In the hundred years which have
elapsed since the founding Of his
curious colony, the descendants Of the
founders have mixed but little with the
surrounding population, and today
they are easily recognized by the pc
culiarity Of their manner and dialect.
The seclusion in which the colony has
kept itself has not been beneficial 10
the character of the people. and iney
are ignorant and uneduca ted far be-
yond the average Virginia farmer.
They possess, however, native
shreW duesS which, in part, supplies The
place Of education, and keeps them
in fairly prosperous condition. They
are Of peaceable disposition, save for
an occasional feud between themselves
"a survival, perhaps, of their German
love of fighting. One noticeable feat
TIRE is tie peculiar sensitiveness of
their disposition, which is in marked
contrast with their rough manner Of
life. In this respect they are almost
childlike, and they will assume an in
jured air on the slightest preteXt.-

ONLY HALF YANKEES.
That He Had Been MisinfCrmnd.
They Convinced a Mississippi Colonel

Il was on the losing side during the
late war;" said Roger Blakenship to
a party of vets who were fighting their
battles Ger again in the corridors of
the Southern. Il belong to a MiSsiS-
Sippi regiment, and the last mother S
son Of US expected to return home with
at least a dozen Yankee scalps dang
ling at his belt. Our orators had led
us to believe that all we had to do
was to show ourselves and the YankS
would break for tall timber. Our col
Onel was a planter and small fry
politician who had never seen a real
live Yankee, and he fully expected to
plant our reglmental colors on the
dome of the national capitol before we
had been cut a month. We were eager
for the fray.
Just before Grant invested Donel-
son We encountered scouting party of
Michiganders. They numbered nnly
about 40, and the colonel took the COM
pany to which l belonged and at
tempted to head them off. They made
a hasty scamper for a brush field that
was surrounded 10y a rail fence. and
we broke ranks and lit out after them
in go as you please order. Every ma IN
of us wanted Yankee and realized
that there were not enough to 20
round. Just as we mounted the fence
we received a volley that laid a score
of men out. Before we could recover
from our surprise those MichiganderS
were over the fence and at work Gu Us
with their sabers and six shooters.
We concluded that we had made mis-
take-that we didn't want any Yam
KEGS, after all.
The colonel was the first man back
to camp. Half his left ear had baen
snot away, and ne had an ugly Saber
cash In his shoulder. l helped the sur
geon fix him up, and after we ha d
made him comfortable he turned to
the major, who also is an editor, and
said solemnly: 'Yer've been a-tellin us
in yer darned old paper that the Yam
KEGS wouldn't fight! Dodrat yer meas
ley hide, what do yer call fightin? The
major replied that those men were
westerners-only half Yankees. Only
half Yankees!' snorted the colonel.
Damme if l amt goin home! If them's
only half Yankees. I'll just be dad
burned if I'm a-goin t tackle any
whole, onesn st. Louis GlObe-Demo-
crat.

ONE WOMAN'S WORK.
who having little yet hath all ="

A narrow sphere! how can you call it so?
Three pairs of baby eyes look up in mine,
And seem the gates through which light
divine
Transigures all my life with tenderest glow
Because cannot paint with artist skill
The changing eolors Of the sea or sky,
Because cannot write of visions high.
And move you all with pain or joy at will.
Because to learning's shrine no gifts bring,
Nor take aforeTnost stand for woman S cause,
Because trust unquestioning the laws,
That bring US snow in winter, birds in spring,
You think my life is circumscrioed and cold
In what sho nd make it helpful. rich and
strong.
All. frendI these happy days are none too
long
For all the loving duties that they hold.
Nor has the art you love been all denied
For lovelieSt pictures every day see
In childhood's careless grace and movements
free,
From waking morn till dreamy eventide.
My Edith's braids. now brown, now golden
bright,
Imprison tints no artists brush has known;
The baby's deep blue eyes, that meet my
own,
In living beauty mock all painted light
Nor do you know, my friend, the critics bold
We story tellers in the children find
What store CT wisdom and of wit combined
We need to point moral new or old.
And in reforms are we not learning late
still, small voice need not be all in vaini
These childish hands may bring the greater

II am willing now TO simply wait
And what in science or philosophy
Can PASS IN interest the baby heart
Seeing in untried ways to take its part
For good or i'll in lie great mystery?
God help US mothers all to live Alright,
And may our homes all truth and love enfold
Since life for US no loftier aims can hold
Than leading little children in the light.

He CONGRATULATES HIMSELF,
Aldrioh is Glad That He Gave the
Government the Slip.
A Charge That Billy Was Present at
Royalist Meetings-The Gatherings
Always Carefully Guarded.

The details of the dynamite plot
were known to friends Of the roy
alists in this city and at Vancouver,
and to at least one fugitive from
the islands, now here, the full
scope of the plan was revealed.
That man is w. H. Aldrich, whose
escape from the vigilance of the isl
and authorities on the barkentine S.
N. Castle some weeks ago, created a
sensation, says a late San Fran
cisco Report. Aldrich is now tax
ing life easy at secure distance
from the scene of hostilities, and
every time he thinks of his friends,
Henry Poor, Antoine Rosa, Colonel
Ashford and the others imprisoned
on the Honolulu reef, he congratu-
lates himself upon the success with
which he gave the Government the
slip. Aldrich has, since the fall
of Liliuokalani, been one of the
most pronounced of the royalists,
and during the Provisional regime,
frequent meetings of the queens
friends were held at the house of
Antoine Rosa, at which he was
present. Those meetings were
carefully guarded in order that the
authorities might not get wind of
what was going on, and all sorts of
plans for the discontinue of the
missionaries were discussed.
Henry Poor was most rabid In
his talk, and frequently advocated
the use of dynamite against the
Provisional Government. So close
was the watch kept upon the known
conspirators, however, that nothing
came of the frequent conferences
except talk. AIdrich stood very
| close to the ex-queen, and his wife,
an accomplished half-caste girl,
was one of Liliuokalani's principal
ladies in waiting. From the fact
of his relations with the royalists
and his known hostility to the
Government, he was kept con-
stantly under surveillance. At the
| time of Aldrich's successful escape
on the Castle it was given out that
the Government wanted to arrest
! him because of his many debts, it
being the salutory rule in the ISL
ands that man must pay his
debts before bidding farewell to the
land of the palm and the hula. But
there was a more important reason
fo- the extreme solicitude of the
Government to detain Aldrich.
They had information of his active
participation in the plots of the
royalists, some Of the details OF
which were then in the possession
of the Government.
