The Origin of a Somewhat
Famous Phrase.
Attributed to Several Great
Men Of Former Times.
vestal Virgins OF Ancient Rome
and What Their Duties Were.

Two gentlemen On gagged in very In
teresting discussion last evening as TO the
origin of the oft-quoted phrase "God
fights on tho side of the heavies, bat
TALON" They spent nearly half an hour
in the debate and when IL ended neither
had convinced tn other. The fact is that
the saying is to be found in a letter writ
has been accredited to several persons,
end In one form or another was probably
used by more than one. 1t 10 attributed
by Alison 20 General Moreau, ny others
TO Napoleon, and by Irving to General
Charles Lee. 1t is quoted by voltaire,
In letter to Richie, Feb. 8, ITO. 1t is
also found In French epigram. When
Anne Of Austria said to Marshal de Ia
Ferte that the enemy were TOO strong
that year, but they themselves had God
and justice on their de, "Don't be too
sure, he replied; "God fights on the side
OF the heaviest battalion"
81 would like to know" writes COR
respondent, "wbo the vestal virgins OF
Rome were and what duties they per-
formed, II any," Vesta was probably
the most mi u ly worshipped of tire
Roman female deities. On the altar OF
Vests burned the sacred or perpetual
fire which II was the duty OF the vestal
Virgins to maintain. A vestal was bound
by vows similar to those of the nuns of
the Roman and Eastern churches at the
present day; but In the case of the vestal
ten years were given to learning the
duties Of the calling, ten to practicing
them. and ten to the instruction of
others. The umber oil vestals varied,
but there were usually six-two OF each
class. II is said by some autorities that
at the expiration of thirty years the ves-
tai was at liberty TO retire and, IL she
chose, to marry, hut IL there were such a
case, It is not known to be recorded by
any reliable historian.
Unchastity on the part OF Q vestal was
punished by burning or burying alive
but only three cases in the history OF
Rome are recorded of this punishme
being inflicted. Minutia was burned 337
b. e.. Sextalia, 274, b. c., and Cornelia
Maximiliaua A. ID. 90, were buried alive.
The vestals were allowed almost regal
honors. They rode In q chariot drawn
by white horses; the right of way was
accorded them wherever they went; they
had the chief seat next the Emperor's
box at the games In the ampit heater,
and decided whether the van luished com.
batsnt should live or die.
