attack on Confederate batteries at Mat
tias Point and the battle of Bull Run.
In 1862 it served III tho dofenses Of
Washington and in 1868 engaged in two
skirmishes in Pennsylvania.
With the exception of the militia Or
CARNATIONS which entered tho long term
service in 1861 it was the heaviest loser
among the militia troops of any from
tho Empire State.
At Bull Run tho Seventy first fought
in the brigade Of General Burnside, tho
column Of direct attack over the stone
bridge. After Burnside's leading regi-
ment, the Second Rhode Island, had
been severely handled in vigorous at
tack upon the enemy, losing Colonel
Slocum and Major Ballou, the Seventy
first went into action. It was accom-
panied by two howitzers, which it
trained on the enemy. The enemy was
checked, and the whole brigade advanc-
ed, fighting steadily all the afternoon.
Everything was going favorably until
the line on the right Of Burnside broke
an1 began to retreat past the knoll
where the brigade was in position. The
Sevonty-frst was ordered to interpose
between the retreating troops and tho
enemy and did so until ordered TO re-
treat by the division general 1t lost in
the battle SO officers and men, 10 being
killed and 81 wounded.

Since Bennett invaded the square it

THE END.


Some interesting Investigations have
leen mudo in the matter of porspira-
tion, ard the following conclusions havo
been arrived at: Tho perspiration is
more concentrated on the right side Of
the body. 1t would. by the way, be in
torafting to know whether tho opposite
was the case in the left handed. Tho
palm Of tho hand sweats times moro
than tho skin Of the chest, and the
checks ~ times as much. There is n
slow Increase in the sweat in the after
Moons, especially noticeable from s to

there is dininution. Feeding has but

REsCUING WRECKED ARGONAUTS FROM ROCK.

with all our might, allowing it to
swing about broadside with the current.
She slowly carecns, sorapes along the
rock for an instant, and then leaves it
like shot, the oarsmen scrambling in,
dripping with the icy water, just in
season to save their own lives and per-
haps the boats cargo although too late
to prevent her proceeding down stream
stern foremost. We are now about in
midstrcam, and before we can make land
in little cove just at the gate of the
rapids we are tossed hither and thither
among the rocks, till we are well nigh
discouraged ms well rs exhausted. The
day is cold and raw, and we are drench-
ed from head to foot. The boat has TAX
ell good deal of water, but we feel
just bit pleased to got ashore with our
lives. The boatmen take long pull at
bottle of brandy, although they hard
~ know the tasto of alcoholic liquor.
Now the goods must be taken ashore to
dry, and buckets and barrels OF water are
to be baled from the boat, We must find
u suitable place for camping likewise,
for it will now be necessary to pack our
outfits around the rapids by land, as it
is impossible to run through them with
such heavy load.
A Boat wreci,ed Each Day.
But we are not the only unfortunate
ones Spread out near us upon the shore
are other outfits that have been drench-
ed through and through. Coffee, dried
fruits, beans and other provisions, as
we'll as matches and clothing are lying
upon tarpaulins to dry, and in some
cases this has been the result even when
The best pilots were employed to take
the goods through. 1t is estimated that
upon an average one boat day is wreck
cd during this present low water and It's
cargo lost or ruined. Boats drawing
from five to ten inches only can be TAX
en- through the canyon and rapids quite
easily and safely, but those OF deeper
draft are in constant peril when the
water is so low.
Some Of the gold seekers do not hest
tate to state that the regular pilots,
who are we'll organized, give false in
formation and directions as to th'
course of tho channel to those who take
their own boats through rather thar
