crate fort in q second. A rumble quick

the fort began to raise. Up, up, up it
went, and then dividing, fell over a
wide tract, creating a black cloud.
Men, tents, cannon, wheels inc all
sorts of debris could be seen in the ris-
ing mass.
It was an awful surprise to the poor
fellows owe there. The enemy on the
right and left wildly ran, expecting
other explosions.
Why didn't the Ninth Corps rush e
and capture the line? They could have
taken almost peaceful possession il
they had moved at once; but they
didn't. By the time they did charge the
scared enemy was ready to meet them
and a most bloody fight epsued. GreaS
numbers Of Burnside's men, after fight
ing heroically, were driven into the
hole made by the explosion, which wal
twenty feet deep, wide and 100 fea
long. Many of these were killed or
wounded and the balance made pris-
oners. The field over which the Union
men retreated to the entrenched line
from which they had charged was Gov

a blunder that cost the army 1000
brave men.

At the time Gen. Grant assumed su-

there were stationed in and about
Washington some carpet regiments.
These troops were kept near the capital

ordered them to the field, and the or

"Do tt"

Peter Cooper, who founded the Coop
or Institute. in New York city, had a
hard struggle. AS a boy, his health
was of the frailest. He went to school
but one year in his life. and during that
year he could only go every other day.
But when he was eight years old he
was earning his living by pulling hair
from the skins of the rabbits his father
shot, to make hat pulp.
He had not half a chance" 1t SEEM
ed almost literally that he had no
chance at all. He went to New York
when he was seventeen years old. He
walked the streets for days before he
got a place, and then ~apprenticed him
self to a carriage maker for five years
for his board and two dollars a month
He had neither time nor money for
what the world called pleasure of hope.
While he was working for fifty cents
q week he said to himself, IF | { ever get
rich 1 will build a place where the boys
and girls of New York may have an
education free" and so he did.

Teach Children

That teasing is a positive crime.
That they must eat bread before
cake.
That bedtime is not a movable
hour.
That they must speak respectfully TO
the servants.
That bawling over bruises is unwor,
thy sturdy beings.
That they should not appeal from the
decision Of one parent to the other.
That punishment follows in the wake
of nreyarication and hiding more swift,
lv than it follows active mischief.
That it is bad taste for them to tell
all that they learn Of their neighbors'
domestic arrangements through play
ing with the neighbors' children.-Ex.

: Under the new amendment adopted
at the last election, a mnn has to be a
full citizen Of the United States three
months before he is legal. voter.
According; to this, any one who is no
a legal voter, and wants to vote. att
the town election next spring, will
have to get his second papers on Dec.
= Or 9, when the district court meets,
that icing the only time he can get
them in order to be a citizen the re-
quired three months. Under the new
law it is expected that Willmar has
about 15o or 200 non-legal voters.
The vote at the spring election will be
considerably lighter than usual, unless
these people take out their second
papers in time.
