At the national encampment Of the g.. A..
II. to be held in st. Paul during the first
week of September the services of a large
number of bands and drum corps will be
required, over 100 having participated in
the encampment and parades at Louisville.
1t Is expected that many of the visiting
posts and departments will necessarily eni-
ploy bands which are located in the yicin-
ity Of st. Paul, as the expense of bringing
them from their different home localities
would be too great. The committee on
that all leaders of bands or drum corps
who desire to furnish music at the time
of the encampment without delay send to
Lieut.. Robert L.. Whine. secretary of the
committee on music, Manhattan building,
st. Paul a statement giving the number of
members of their respective EXAMINATIONS,
a description of the uniforms which they
wear. the character of music furnished, and
the charge which will be made for their
services per day during the time of the
e~ncampment.
If they have any peculiarities or ad-
vantages In the way of drill, uniform or
attractive display, it Is also desired that a
statement of these shall be furnished. OF
late several Eastern organizations have
made inquiry in regard to music for the
occasion. and 1t Is very desirable that the
committee shall be able, at as early a date
as possible, to provide a list of musical
organizations from which selections can be
made. You are, therefore. requested to
send In this statement without delay.

A RriInI GIFT from Rnhemia

A beautiful and unique bridal gift
that lately came to an American bride
is a ~three-yard square of white linen
nearly covered with drawn work aud
rich embroidery done in gold-colored
silk. The design for the cloth is the
work of Prof. Tempeky, of Vienna,
one of the most noted designers of
the world. The embroidery itself was
dolie by ninety young needlewomen
who live in little hamlets among the
mountains of Bomenia. The millions
of stitches upOn the cloth We're the
leisure-hOur occupation of three years,
ana were done as Il labor of love after
the days work of stitching was over.
The design of the cloth extending
from the center shows first a knot of
the EGld-colorcd silk surrounded by u
cchweb of drawn work. beyond which
there are long narrow linen points,
on which small flowers are worked.
Then there is a circle of linen worked
with French knots and having the
edges finished in buttOnhole stitch.
Next there is a mass of solid en-
brOidery, in which every known stitch
is said to be used to carry out the
varied design. Beyond this there are
other borders, combining drawH-wOrk
and embroidery. The finest work is

Pretty Princesses Wed Early.

Beauty is shown to be no more or
less regarded in a princess than in IN
ordinary mortal when matrimony
comes to the front. The marriage of
the third daughter of the Duke of
Saxe-Coburg recently was a case in
point. This pretty girl was only II
when she became a bride and her two
elder sisters were likewise very young
when married. This is merely pointed
out as a contrast to the III in
which daughters of the Prince of
Wales have chung to the parent stem,
although now the Princess Maud has
become engaged, and the only one al
ready married went outside the royal
houses for Il husband. But then the
children of the Duke of Edinburgh are
all remarkably handsome, while those
of the heir-apparent to England's
throne are as nOticeably ugly. Their
heavy, t~hick-featured faces, with bad
teeth and dull compilations, are the
greatest contrast to the bright, we'll
set-up young girls on their uncle's
side of the house. And the pretty
princesses, like the pretty commoners,
have been the ones to marry young.

MAGNANIMITY IN WAR.

An Exchange of stories Relating to
the Armies. in virginia.
The Rev. Robert Wilson, of st.
Luke's Episcopal church, says:
in 1883 | met in Richmond a Col.
Mccoy, of Pennsylvania, who had
got quite chummy over a mixed wood
camp fire, and wishing to put him at
his ease, l told him the story of Ker-
shaw's magnificent reconnaissance at
Fredericksburg, which can never be
too often repeated. An orderly had
arrived in hot haste with a command
rcconnoitered at all hazards from a
knoll which was swept by the 1:e of
the sharpshooters of both armies.
Every bush and tree had been cut
away by the storm of bullets. and it
looked like certain death to the man
who should attempt it. Calmly sling
ing his field glass, and turning over his
command to the next officer in rank,
Joseph r. Kershaw rode slowly up to
the death trap, into which we would
not send any other man. The sight of
his heroic action, as he sat amid the
whistling minnies. sweeping the op-
posing ranks with his glass, was too
much for the chiyalry of the Yankee
commander. and the order went down
the Federal line: Cease firing. on that
officer" The rifles became silent, the
reconnaissance was finished and, rails
ing his cap in Acknowledgement, Gen.
Kershaw quietly rode back at a walk,
unframed"
1T vas a splendid incident" re-
marked Col. Mccoy, but I can eli
max it with a personal experience of
the %chivalrous disposition of your men.
I was on Gen. Meade's staff near Rich
mond, and one morning, with the gen
eral at our head, we rode down to take
a look at the river. AS we turned
sharply out of the bushes and came
out OH the bank, we found ourselves
in point blank range of a Confederate
picket drawn up on the other side. A
vOlley would have emptied every sad
die. for we were entirely at their
mercy; but it would have been muir
der, for they could not cross and cap
ture us. Recognizing Gen. Meade, the
commander of the detachment ordered
his men into line and they presented
arms. We raised our caps in grateful
acknowledgment, rode slowly back in
to the bushes, and, as soon as we were
fairly out of sight, put spur to our
horses and scudded back to the camp
as if the devil was after u.s."

Our commander q shall not give his

and addressed us briefly. He told us
it was better to die fighting than to be
shot like spies, and said that if we
should meet with a Spaniard which
IL boat could not outfoot we must
board her. Several boxes were brought
on deck. broken open, and machetes,
rifles and cartridges dis fibuted. Now
that we were armed and racing for
Cuba we no longer f,lt like stowa-
ways. but bore curse yes proudly as
soldiers.
The next night passed without ad-
venture, but the mex morning we had
our first look at the faces of our enc
mics. We came close to them, too
near for our comfort.
Along the southern horizon there was
a wreath of smoke. To change our
course would be suicidal. We plunged
along headed directly to what was
soon seen to be a Spanish vessel. Our
captain took a look at her through his
glass and announced without excite
mcnt: '%lnfanta Ma Teresa" We all
knew that she was one of the most
speedy and efficient of Spanish men-of-
war.

waited, Il hands uncertain In their

and then the lock of the rifle. If the
