The Boston Transcript says that Ju-
liam Scott, drummer boy, Company E,
Third Vermont volunteers, received
the first congressional medal of honor
for bravery at the battle of Lees Mills,
Va, April 16, 1862. His duties did not
require him to be present on the field.
Learning that four companies of his
regiment, including his own, had cross
ed the creek and were suffering terrible
losses, and that many of his comrades
We're killed and wounded, he started for
the scene, forded the creek, and, in the
face of a terrible fire and countercharge
from the enemy, succeeded unaided in
bringing two severely wounded COM
rades across the creek. A general order
was issued by his brigade commander,
General 'Baldy' Smith, commencing
the heroic bravery of this drummer boy.
The act of congress granting the medal
of honor was passed July 12, 1862, and
it is reported that Secretary Stanton
was so pleased with the bravery Of this
boy that as soon as the medals were
ready he sent the first one to Julian
Scott. "

SYSTEMS IN SWITZERLAND.
Skilled watchmAkers VIII Not work by
American Methods.

It Is most interesting TO compare the
different methods by means Of which
the highest grade Of mechanical perfec-
lion is attained in various countries.
Notwithstanding the high character Of
American watches, for example, the
finest Swiss watches will retain their
great reputation. The Swiss workman
receives the parts from the manufacturer
j. the rough, takes them to his home,
puts his best individual skill into the
finishing and assembling and brings the
completed watches to his employer.
The latter inspects the work, and out of
a batch of, say, so watches he selects
five or six as worthy of his attention
and puts the others into the regular
trade under some general trade name.
The selected watches he readjusts, work
ing over them for days, weeks and
months before he considers them worthy
to bear his own name, and it is these
watches which 60 to those who not only
have the money to buy, but also the
patience to wait.
A prominent firm of American jew
elers, chatting under the inconvenience
of this old world method of doing
things, sought to introduce American
methods and see if the highest grade of
Swiss watches could not be made more
methodically. A factory was built, en-
ticing rates of wages were offered to the
most skillful workmen, and the expert
ment was tried. But, alas, the Swiss
workman soon found that no regular
wages could pay him for his loss Of lib.
erty. To be on hand when the whistle
blew i'll the morning, to have his stated
hour for dinner and his fixed hour for
quitting at night-these restrictions he
could not long stand. Formerly he had
worked when he felt like it and stopped
when it pleased him, and when he was
paid for one job he took his own time
to begin the next, generally waiting
until his funds ran low. The factory
plan did not work for long, and the idle
building now bears silent testimony to
the Swiss love for independence, which
is as much factor in present life as it
has been in past history. -Cassier's
Magazine.

WITH A BARREL OF OYSTERS.
How q Great Russian Banker Bought HI
Freedom From Serfdom.


One of the best known banking houses
of St Petersburg and the one TO which
most American visitors to Russia carry
letters Of credit is that of Messrs Shall
ounine & Sons, the founder of which,
father of the present head of the firm,
iwed his liberation from serfdom, l5
rears before the decree Of emancipation,
70 barrel of oysters Old Shalounine
was a serf belonging TO Count She
remetieff, one of the wealthiest mobiles in
Russia He had frequently entreated
the count to grant him his freedom, Of
fering him as much as $500, 600 for the
boon. But money was no object TO the
count, and it gratitied his pride to feel
that one of the leading bankers of the
empire was one of his serfs, una9le to
marry either his sons or his daughters
without his masters consent. Moreover,
as serf, the banker was liable to have
his money seized and confiscated any
moment by the count, since everything
that belonged to a serf, including his
wife, children and property, belonged
ipso facto to his master.
One day Shalounine, who had Just
that very morning returned TO the capi-
tai from Odessa, called at the Shere-
metietf palace for the purpose of report
ing his arrival, as i'll duty bound to his
owner. He had brought with him a
barrel of delicious Crimean oysters for
presentation to the count, but left them
in his carriage at the palace door until
he should have obtained his masters
intimation that his gift was acceptable.
On entering the presence of the count
the banker found him surrounded by a
party Of guests and engaged in berating
his chief butler for neglecting to pro-
vide oysters for the breakfast to which
they were about to sit down. The butler
was explaining to the count that there
were no oysters to be got in the capital
at that moment for love or money.
Catching sight of the serf banker the
count exclaimed:
"Oh, it is thou again. Thou art come
to poster me once more for thy liberia
tion! Thou knowest that it is useless. I
should not know what to do with thy
money. But stay, will tell thee some
thing. Get me some oysters for my
breakfast and thou shall have thy free
DOM"
Shalounine bowed low, left the room,
fetched the small barrel of oysters which
he had left in his carriage at the door,
and laid it at the feet of his master.
As soon as the barrel had been opened
the count called for a pen and paper,
wrote out a declaration emancipating
both the banker and his family from
serfdom, and then, bowling courteously
to the man who but a moment before
had been his slave, exclaimed, "And,
now, my dear Mr.. Shalounine-will
you give US the pleasure of your COM
pany at breakfast?'-New York Trib-
une.

When Wales Won the Derby.

II shall always be glad, says gossiper
in an English paper, "that 1 was present
when our future king won the Derby. The
touch of nature which makes the whole
world kin drew prince and people very
close that day. Everybody knows that roy
altics are not, as rule, above all things
human. But the prince is as human as
any man living. And at the Derby the tre-
mendous outburst of affectionate loyalty,
the long uproarious yell of delight which
greeted his horse as winner, touched him
so that his face grew white and he trembled
visibly from head to foot. The prince was,
indeed, unable himself to lead his horse,
md one likes him, if possible, almost bet
ter than ever before when one realizes how
deeply he was stirred by the popular ova-
tion accorded to him. And the Duke Of
York, TOO, could scarcely disguise his agi-
tation." -

TWO MEETINGS,
A Very Old Man Tells of Something That
Awakened Tender Memories.

II came across something last Sun
day." said an old, very old, man one
day in 1866, something that brought
tears to my eyes and started a flood of
recollections that l could not control. I
had been out with my son-in-law for
little excursion, and feeling thirsty we
dropped down in the yard of a neat
looking hotel and called for some Rhine
wine and settlers.
You will have TO order a NEAL
said the waiter and we said, OF course;
two meals. In time the Rhine wine
was brought The glasses were smaller
than they were when was young, but
their contents were otherwise we'll.
Then he brought the meals.
"They were the ordinary Sunday
drink meals My son-in-law's was Or
dinary in every way; but the waiter
had dropped mine, and, picking it up
in hurry, had placed it on the plate
upside down. Otherwise, of course, I
should never have noticed it. On the
bottom of the meal, carved deep into
the crust, were the initials B. G. R.,
and the date 1896, May IL Seventy
years old and more that Raines Sunday
meal was The initials were my own,
and, as looked at the figures, almost
as fresh as when they were first carved,
my memory went back to the bright
Sunday in May, 1896, when q friend
and l had ridden on our bicycles to the
self same hotel and ordered the same
drinks and meals. Of course, it was
only coincidence, but it was interest
ing.
"It was just about that time" said
the old, very old, man, picking up his
cane, that the custom the boys had of
carving their names on turtles backs
was given up; they carved them on
Raines Sunday meals, because they last
ed longer. And I think that was one
of the pioneers Of the new custom" And
the old, very old, man went out. New
York Sun.
