Twelfth and Fourteenth Minnesota
Volunteers are still camped at the
famous Chickamauga Park, and are
all enjoying th5 best Of health and
happiness. With the exception OF a
few who are not strong enough to en-
dure the climate we are having high
old time.
In taking a stroll around this large
and noted ground | notice monu-
ments and different structures of the
war of '63. it is merely dream to.
those who have not seen but heard OF
the many hardships of war and camp
life. Occasionally provisions are
short and again an all days dress
parade of about fifteen miles march
in heavy marching order; with nap
sacks, .havor- sacks, canteens. guns,
etc., on a persons sh. uiders, makes
me think of home, but its what we
are here for, and therefore that we
must do. We have received orders
saying that we will probably be call
ed either to Tampa, Fla: or Manila in
a day or two and to be ready on a
moments notice.
Captain Boyce of Co. D.. Fairmont
has been unconscious nearly ever
since we have been here, the march
from Chattanooga to the park being
the cause of his sickness, he is ex-
pscted to drop from the ranks at any
moment.
We are camped near the Alexander
house on the park, which will probab-
Iy be remembered by many old sold
iers iu Mobiles county, and is without
a doubt one of the most noted places
in history.
Col. Bohleter, who has been at the
head of the 18th Minnesota since it's
organization mas been promoted to
brigadier general, which not only
speaks high for the colonel, but for
Minnesota in having such man as
Mr.. Bobleter at the front.
Zina Cheney, a former Worihing
tonian is here with Co. M Of Fari
bault and is enjoying good health.
The 18th is in the first brigade,
third division of the first army corps
which put to the front first.
Camp life here is entirely diffe ent
to that of Minnesota, as in the morn
ing, cannon roar at day break and at
sunset in the evening which gives
nerve to the young men who have left
their homes to fight for their country.
l see that Worthington will organize
military company, but think that
town having lot of loafers like it,
ought to have more than militia,
Boys where are you at? You are
away behind the times and if you
cannot get up volunteer army don't
go any further, but stay at home
with your mas and pas. Your high
school reporters. bicycle riders and
foot racers are all right as long as
they can stay with their parents in a
case of need.
Drill hour is nearing and will not
have any more time to write this week
but anxiously look for the Worthing
ton papers and to see some signs Of
patriotism in the next one.

clares sho has always found herself good company. She is a cheerful, pretty and sturdy widow of about 30 years of age. She was born ill Canada, of French parents.
 "You will not be there six weeks be- fore you arc married, ? said several of her friends. Z
 "No, no, no. That wonla upset all my plans. l will cora 15.s. 4s ssls=.l sslid with plenty of gold, :. sho answered..
 Mrs. Riedeselle's plans are to extend her possessions near Griswold, Conn. She has farm there, which, with her own hands, sho has made into verita- ble garden spot. For six years she has maintained the farm, avoiding expense by tilling the soil herself and building her own fences. During the winter months she has employed her time as a professional nurse. Just before the train started from New York she said:
 You see, my baggage is small. am taking no food with me and very little clothing. l have two revelvers and the large rubber boots which I wore on the farm. My friends have told me that I can get everything ill Alaska. I will buy furs and blankets. l will not want for money. have saved up plenty of that. believe that am eminently fit ted for an explorer. My experience has taught mo how to take caro of myself and am in the pink of health. No, l will not tako my bicycle. When I get to Dawson City, I may purchase one, but those who go looking for gold can not give much attention to the wheel.
 Mrs. Riedeselle was attired in 6 black cloth gown which fitted her. A jacket and small alpine hat completed Q cos tune which looked hardly heavy enough to do rough service ill tho Klondike.- New York Journal.

Women In switzerland.

The women of Switzerland are hop ing to arrange 6 congress of women from all the cantons, to take place dur ing tho exhibition at Geneva next year. They look forward to being able thus to lay foundation for tho formation of @ national council of women-not an easy thing to do when ono considers that the inhabitants of Switzerland consist of three different races, with different Ian guages and religious creeds
 A society now existing in Geneva, with branches ill other towns, has much tho same spirit and aims as @ national council. It is called L'Union des Fenmes and has taken up the question of wemen's wages, of cooperative stores, of technical education, of dress reform and woman's moral elevation. Connected with this union is the Soci- ety For Woman's 8 Legal Rights, which last year achieved great step ill ad' vance by procuring for married women the right to dispose of their own for. tune or wages as tho oaso may be, and to bank the samo under their own name. Louis Bridel, professor of law at tho University of Gonoya, has been most helpful in this matter, as in all ques- tions relating to women, i'll which, aid cd by his wife, he takes the greatest in- terest.
 Feminine education, as every one knows, is far advanced in Switzerland, and the University of Zurich has many women students, most of whom come, however, from other lands. It was here that Dr. Emily Kompin, the first 1eo- turer of the woman's law class of the University of the City of New York, was trained. She had a long and hard struggle before being allowed to prao- tioe her calling, but tho fight has been a successful one for she is now not only engaged in active professional work, but is also professor at law at her alma mater

Little Jessie sat on the window sill sucking Q sugared lemon when sudden ly something darted in through the closed blinds, and, as she said, kissed her real quick, and then as quickly darted out again.
 But instead of kiss 1t proved to be a sting, and the offender was busy bee. Jessie screamed, and when nam ma looked in her mouth there was the stinger in the point of Jessie's tongue. which was getting quite black.

Little Bessie B1umenthal Showed the Court
 How She Made Paper Lanterns.
 Little Bessie Blumenthal, sitting tailor fashion on the floor of Recorder Goff's courtroom, made paper lantern so deftly that the spectators and the jurors applauded. Little Bessie's per formance kept her father out of jail.
 This father, Bernard Blumenthal. has a stationery store at 435 East Eighty third street. There was a fro in the sta tionery store on Sept. 2S. When Fire Marshal Mitchell made his inspection to learn the origin of the fire, he found ill the store several small boxes, the covers of which had been removed Over the boxes were tied pieces of paper and within the boxes were stubs of can dles, burned low. These boxes contain ing candles wero evidence of arson, and tue fro marshal arrested Blumenthal The trial began before Recorder Golf and jury. The marshal told about the ominous boxes that contained the stubs of candles.
 For the defense little Bessie was call ed to tho stand The child is 10 years old. The recorder would not permit her to bo sworn. doubting If she under stands the nature of an oath, but he permitted her to tell the jury what she knew about tho fire.

 "How did you make them?" asked the recorder.
 The child was tangled up in her words. She could not mako the jury understand how she made the lanterns.

bring in three times what is offered by the generous rector.
 Although conditions in America are not quito as bad as this, the educated woman has not yet reached that plane where her services are as well paid and as much appreciated as those of the do nestle servant. The demand for cooks is very much greater than the demand for teachers, and while tho market for good teachers is adequately supplied the sup ply of good cooks is ridiculous. It is just this question of market which regulates not only the price of the labor, but also the treatment of the laborer.
 In the average house tho position of governess is not to be compared to that of the cook. The latter is respected, or at least feared. She gets about double the salary, she has more liberty and moro leisure than the governess, and if she knows her work and does it there is hardly anything she may not do. The obvious question is, Why do not some of the girls who spend many years and thousands of dollars on what IS called 6 high class education spend some of each on thorough education in cooking? Cooking is not half as destructive to the more endearing qualities of 0 woman as are teaching and the thousand drudg cries of a governoss, and to compare the expressed satisfaction of tho family in assimilating a delicious goose, served
 with it's native apple sauce, with that of the same family listening to Tommy droning "Arma virumque cano" would be ludicrous. York Commercial.

how she made the lanterns. The record. CT sent for q box that had contained crayon chalk, some paper, 8 candle and pieoe of twine.
 The child took this equipment, and first removed the cover of the box. She lighted the candle and placed it inside tho box and then tried to fasten the paper over the box with the twine. She was awkward and embarrassed. She could not fit the paper around the box.
 A juror asked her what gave her SC much trouble.
 ..I can't tie it here" said little Miss Bessie from the high chair in which she sat. 1T was sitting on the floor at home.
 sssit on the floor here, then, said the recorder.
 Down she jumped, and, sitting on the floor of the courtroom with her lit tle legs doubled under her, she rapidly folded the paper around the box and fastened it with the string. The jurors stood up to watch tho little child make the lantern h moment she held ii up for inspection. The light from the candle shono through the paper, making 0 famous lantern.
 Then the spectators applauded, and some of the jurors shouted, "She's done it' The lantern was exactly like the boxes tho marshal had found in the sta tioner's store.
 The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and it is understood that it was the testimony of little Bessie which had most to do with that result. = New York Journal

 "And what is thatPn asked the other.
 "Only to tend this line till come back I wish to go on a short errand.
 Tho proposal was gladly accepted. The old man was gone so long that the young man began to get inpatient. Meanwhile the fish snapped groodily at the baited hook, and the young man lost all Ess de- pEession in the excitement of pulling them In. When the owner returned, he had caught a largo number.

Unlike the Indian if he would maintain his physical and mental health, he must take reasonable precau. tions to combat disease Nearly all dis eases have their inception in disorders of the digestion, torpidity of the liver and .mpurity of the blood. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is made of simple herbs. It restores Ghe lost appetite, makes diges- ton and assimilation perfect, invigorates the liver, purifes the blood and promotes the natural processes of excretion and se- cretion.

An impressive ceremony took place

presence of over two thousand men,
bers, the pastor and trustees destroyed
q Cancelled mortgage of thirty thou
sand dollars upon the church property.
The document was torn into as many
pieces as there were officers, and at a
given signal each held his piece in the
flame of candle till it was consumed,
the pastor exclaiming, $50 perish all
mortgages on Gods property When
nothing but the ashes remained, the
people rose and with glad hearts sang
the Doxology. Doubtless few of those
present remembered the historical pre-
cedent: In the year 1852 Henry ILL.,,

lighted taper in the other, swore to
observe the Magma Charta. The arch
bishop and prelates and the king him
