had to carry his outfit. Besides his
heavy musket, he carried knapsack
on his back in which was a complete
change OF underwear and blouse, and
IN roll on top was a blanket and per-
maps an overcoat; haversack capable
OF holding ten days rations OF hard
tack and bacon, a canteen holding a
quart of water, belt with q bayonet.
and a cartridge box holding forty
rounds, tin cup and sometimes q for.
age cap. The cartridge was of heavy
paper, the end of which had to be BIT
ten of in loading, the bullet being ram
med down with the ramrod. Occasion
ally infantry regiments armed them
serves with the newly invented Henri
l6'shooter rifles. Of the men who car
ried these a Johnny Reb said: Them
derned Yanks load all night and shoot
all the next day Such regiments
were usually mounted to serve as scouts
and foragers, the cavalry proper being
armed with lighter carbine and sa-
pre-. Before the close of the war the
infantry in constant active service dis
pensed with the knapsack and carried
the blanket in long roll about the
body. A dog tent was added, the can
vass and poles for each being divided
between two men. 1t was tent into
which two persons could crawl.
"On the march some attention was
paid to order, but the men were allow
ed to carry their guns as they choose.
1t was found TO be easier marching to
keep step. The men sang and chaffed
one another, and especially any unpop-
ular officer who passed, while they
were embarrassing in their affectionate
comments when popular general was
in sight. In ordinary circumstances
twenty miles was full days march,
The average was less than this on the
march to the sea, although the roads
were fine and no enemy obstructed the
way.
1.-THE first to enlist in 1861 were
members of the independent militia
companies and the volunteer fremen.
The engine houses were centers of pa
triotism, and on the first night after
Lincoln's call for $4,000 volunteers,
more than half of the fremen were en-
rolled. Colonel Ellsworth's enlistment
OF full regiment of fire laddies in New
York was one of the remarkable Incl
dents OF the early days of the war"

That War Balloon Under Fire.

The balloon, propelled by strong
rope one thousand feet in length and
held by eighteen men, was being car
ried all over the field, and the move
ment of troops was directed from it un.
til it was finally shot to pieces at about
twelve o'clock. A telegraph wire con-
nected the basket of the balloon with
the ground, and observations were
transmitted in that manner to the off,
GERS below. Finally point that is now
known as HELPS Crossing was reached
by the balloon men, and a scathing fire
was poured into the initiating bag. Three
shells from a shrapnel battery tore
great holes in it, and showers of bull
lets made it resemble large sieve.
Remarkable is the fact that the three
men in the basket at the time it was
destroyed escaped with but one slight
injury. They were Colonel Drew,
chief of engineers on General Skaters
staff; Major j. E. Maxfield of the sig
nal corps, and Sergeant Thomas G.
Boone, detached from Company X of
the Second Massachusetts Volunteers
as telegrapher in the balloon detach-
ment. Three of the men holding the
rope on the ground were wounded.
The balloon was finally landed in the
middle of stream waist-deep just as
the First and Tenth regiments of cav
airy (dismounted) were charging a
Spanish ambush in field of wild corn
on the west side of the stream, which
for the terrible slaughter there is known
as Hell's Crossing .-Springfield Repub-
lican, Santiago Letter.

which the President believed the Span
ish would steal, "a trap adroitly set for
Spain, into which she fell" Really,
English was used in the interest OF
ceudor, of expedition and of peace.
The Eagle supports the President.
This paper has its reasons for support
ing him. 1t believes its reasons are
respectable, and it has openly printed
them. They have been based on con-
fidence in the President as an honest
and patriotic man and in the national
cause as worthy and sacred cause.
No paper can prevent Mr.. Schurz from
imagining mean things about the Pres
ident's supporters or about the presi-
dent himself. None can prevent him
from printing them in such papers as
have not discontinued publishing his
contributions-as Hdrper's Weekly has
done. But his imputations shall not
here, at least, pass without rebuke, es-
pecially when he closes them with a
limited forecast of his possible support
of free silver and Bryan in 1900 as a
lesser evil than expansion and as a
price worth paying for our continued
international isolation. We challenge
him to name the gold Democrats other
than himself who are prepared or dis
posed to take that step. Those with
whom or for whom we speak have
shrunk to no such unpatriotic deca-
dence. And we profoundly regret that
Mr.. Schurz's course, as he seems to be-
gin it, toward Mr.. Mckinley, carries in
it such apparent justification of the
structures which many of his sometime
Republican colleagues uttered concern
ing the animus of his course toward
James G. Blaine. The sword of i'm
putation should be used only by the in
vincible. 1t wounds the vulnerable
hand.-Brooklyn Eagle Oem.)

Women in the Civil War.

Many and thrilling are the tales told
of the heroism of women both of the
North and South during the War Of the
Rebellion. The women of the war may
be divided into three classes. The first
class included the women who served
as nurses in hospitals and on the field
of battle. OF these much has already
been written. The second class was
that very useful body of scouts and
spies whose dress and actions were &C
cording to circumstances. They ap-
peared as stylish danes surrounded by
admirers in the morning, and in the
evening as dissipated youths, dropping
into billiard rooms and like resorts, to
detect plots of the enemy.
Those who, fired by burning zeal to
serve their country, actually donned
uniform and shouldered a musket to
serve the cause, formed the third class
Of women of the war. OF these there
were many more than is generally sup
posed. AS far back as 1868 the Mem
phis Argus published a paragraph of
news headed "Death of Cavalry Sol
der Who Proved to Be Woman" 1t
read:
n bAOlb u
ing to a Missouri calvary regiment was
entered at the Overton Hospital for
treatment for fever contracted in camp,
says the New York Herald. The SOL
der died, but not before it had been
revealed that the supposed young man
was a woman. She had followed her
lover into the army, and to be near him
had willingly braved the dangers Of
battlefield and borne the hardships and
exposures of campaign life. Her years
could not have been more than twenty"
An intensely interesting story is that
of another who became a soldier sail
for love-" Her name was Annie Lilly
bridge, of Detroit, Mich. In the spring
Of 1862 she was employed in dry
goods store in Detroit, where she made
the acquaintance Of lieutenant of the
Twenty-irst Michigan Infantry, and
an intimacy sprang up between them.

They were studying the catechism
about the wonderful greatness and
power of God. Can God do anything?
asked the teacher. 1t was generally
admitted that he could. Then the
teacher asked, Could God make two
and two equal five? The teacher wait
ed with rather amused smile. Then
up went little hand. Well, asked the
teacher, what do you think about it?
What do you think of it? Yes, sir, he
can, was the prompt and certain re-
spouse. Now it was the teachers turn
to look surprised. Well, how can God
make two and two equal five2 By add
ing one, was the triumphant answer.

Has Dewey an Understanding with
the British Warships at Manila.

If the report cabled from Hong Kong
10 the London Daily Mail is well
founded, we have for the first time an
indication of the attitude that Great
Britain would take in the event of an
endeavor on the part of German war
ships to obstruct our occupation of Ma
Mia. We are told that the German Adj
mirai Won Diederichs asked Captain
Chichester, the commanding officer of
the British ship Immortalite, what the
latter would do in the contingency
named. The British captain is said to
have replied that only Admiral Dewey
and himself knew what course he would
pursue.
Assuming that such a conversation
really took place, we cannot but as
cribe considerable significance to the
fact that Captain Chichester's orders
with reference TO certain possible
copjuncture should have been COM
municated by him to the American adj
miral. Had the commander of the I'M
mortalite received instructions to main
tain strict neutrality in the event of
collision between the German and
American squadrons at Manila, it
would have been superiuous to d.
vulge them to Admiral Dewey, for
England's neutrality would have been
taken for granted. In the absence of
counter assurances from Great Britain's
naval representative, our admiral would
have proceeded on the assumption that
no departure from England's normal
attitude would be undertaken, and that
for the purpose of repe ling German in
reference with his plans he must rely
on his own ships alone.
On the supposition that Chichester
did an unnecessary thing and informed
Dewey that under the circumstances
named he should remain neutral, there
would be no reason for his refusing to
give the same information to Won
Diederichs. Undoubtedly, the deduc-
ton drawn by the German admiral
from the British captains statement,
if it were really uttered, was that the
latter, if requested, would cooperate
polling German aggression.
If such an offer of assistance in
given contingency was made by Cap
tain Chichester to Admiral Dewey, it
must have become known to our gov
eminent, and one could then under
stand the entire absence of misgivipg
which has been exhibited at Washing
ton regarding the situation at Manila,
and the complete confidence with which
the German ambassadors assurances
of friendship have been received.
What is knc wn in Washington is I'M
doubtedly known also in Berlin, and
the last thing that Emperor William
can desire is to be forced into mari
time war with England at the present
time by the rashness of his naval rep.
resentative in the far east.
Reinforced by the Monterey and the
Monadnock, or even by the former
monitor, it is improbable that Admiral
Dewey would ask or accept British as
sistance, 30 long as he had only Ger
man ships to deal with. Should, how
ever, German attempt at interior
ence be backed by another great mari
time power, the offer of British sup
port might become of capital impor-
lance to our squadron at Manila; and
for that reason Americans will hope
that the report cabled to the DAILY
Mail is true.-New York Sun.

Four Wounds from One Bullet.

A. F. Cosby, member of Troop X,
New York division of Roosevelt's
rough riders, has been in all the battles
of Santiago and escaped injury until
the last skirmish, when single
Mauser bullet wounded him in four
places. The bullet penetrated the rim
of his hat, and, grazing his face, en-
tered his right breast, then, coming out
several inches below the spot it enter
ed, it lodged in his right hand. The
soldier was lying fiat at the time he
was shot, which explains the unusual
course OF the bullet.
