A REVOLUTIONARY RELIC.
sword Which Tarleton Carried a tn e
Battle of COwpens.

\ priceless relic of revolutionary days
has just been placed in the state house
at Columbia, S. c., for safe-keeping. 1t
is the sword which Tarleton used in
leading the British troopers at the bat.
tie of Cowpens, that state, against the
patriots under Morgan, Piekens, Sum-
ter and Marion.
The sword is the property of Gel. r.
f. Dickson, and has been placed with
the sword of Marion and other revolu-
tionary relics in the possession Of the
state.
Tarleton lost the sword at the battle
of Cowpens, where the patriots won
such signal victory, victory which
put fresh heart in their brethren
throughout the colonies and FASTENED
the coming of the triumphant end of
the war at Yorktown.
Col, William Washington, the gallant
leader of the American cavalry, pressed
Tarleton so closely in his fight as to
be able to have one exchange of saber
blows with the British leader. Wash
ington's sword cut Tarleton's finger
and the British colonel dropped his
steel, spurred his steed and obtained
safety by flight.
William Scott, the father of Col. Dick
sons mother, was an American soldier
in the battle of Cowpens. He saw the
fight between Washington and Tarleton
and picked up the latter's sword when
he dropped it. The sword has ever since
been preserved in the family as price
less trophy of ancestral prowess in the
revolutionary war.
The sword, or saber, for the blade
curves back so as to give greater force
to its blows, is long and heavy. The
blade is yard in length, while the hilt
is slightly over six inches long, with an
iron guard. There is long scratch on
the guard and cut in the iron knob at
the end of the hilt, which are believed
to have been made by the blow of Wash
ington's sword which forced Tarleton
to drop his weapon or which knocked it
out of his hand.
The iron shank of the hilt is cased in
wood, which was covered with leather,
muCll VI NhlCh mas btNh WI II away
Upon the blade close to the hilt, is en-
graved the word Potter" probably the
name of its maker.
There are many notches in the blade,
and some rust upon it, possibly made
by the blood of patriots who had felt its
edge.
In this connection, il will not be amiss
TO repeat two anecdotes about Tarleton
and Washington.
The patriot ladies of the revolution
airy times had keen wits. On one occa-
sion, Tarleton, in a Dragging mood,
was telling a patriot lady how he wished
he could meet "their boosted Col. Wash
ington." Her prompt reply was; "If
you had looked behind you when run
ming away from Cowpens, your wish
would have been gratified."
On another occasion, Tarleton was
speaking eontemptuously of Col. VIII.
liam Washington TO a patriot lady,
WHY said Tarleton, they tell me he
is SO ignorant that he cannot even write
his name" With meaning glance at
Tarleton's right hand, which Washing
ton had wounded, the lady replied
But nobody is better aware than you,
Col Tarleton, that Col. Washington
knows how TO make his mark. Wash

PROGRESSIVE KISSING.


Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox Describes
Three Degrees of Oscillation.
The accumulated knowledge of ages
is sometimes revealed in a kiss; and
one might add that where wisdom is
bliss it is folly to be ignorant.
Never TO have been kissed is never TO
have fully lived. Perhaps 1t is a secret
consciousness of this which renders the
unlssed women of earth so bitter in
their denunciations of the love enlight-
ened-iust as the very poor denouuce the
very rich as enemies to the world.
The kiss is rot all sweet. 1t contains
the sting aswell as the honeyof the bee
Loves favorite pastime is the pro-
gressive kiss.
When a man wooes a woman he usual
~ begins his demonstration by kissing
her gloved hand-an innocent enough
act surely.
But it does not long satisfy him! The
glove is in the way, and he longs to
press his lips to her soft fesh-the
white fingers first-then the pink palm,
and the blue-yeined wrist.
She bushes a little al this and draws
her hand away, yet, surely, it is not
very wrong, she thinks.
After that he begs to kiss her cheek
just one little touch of his lips to its
velvet surface-no more! Such tiny
favor TO ask? And if one cheek is ca
ressed, why not the other? 1t is unfair
TO show fayortism. Crossing from the
left cheek TO the right, leads directly
over loves own domain-the lips, the
home of kisses.
After a woman has given her lips 10
man she becomes either great deal
or nothing to him, Unless she is a
thorough woman of the world or great
reader of human nature she can never
he sure which result viii ensue, IT de-
ponds upon the man, the situation and
the kiss. lie may adore her, or despise
her; believe in her, or distrust her;
cling to her always, or leave her for"
ever.
Marriages are made, and missed, by
the kiss. IT is the lasso which leads
some men to the altar, and it is the
blade which sewers the tie uniting 9TH
ers to their lady loves.
Therefore, the game of the progress
sive kiss is the most perilous Of pas
times for any save the woman on the
eve Of her marriage, to indulge in.
There is subtle psychological DIFF
ference in the temperament Of man and
woman, which underlies the danger. lie
does not turn from her lips with the
same sentiment with which she turns
from his after the kiss is exchanged.
She is excited by her emotions; he is
only irritated TO her it is an epoch.
the first ardent kiss she has known. To
him it is merely the latest. If she has
known others, she has the art Of for
getting them utterly and believing the
experience to be new and this man diff
ferent from all others. But he. on the
contrary, classes her with lot Of
other women he has kissed. Until she
gave him her lips she seemed apart
from and above them.
It is wiser TO be remembered as the
one woman a man wishes he could
have kissed than to be forgotten among
those he has caressed.-Ela Wheeler
Wilcox. in \. Y.Journal.

been arranged for the musical and
literary entertainment to be given to-
night in the Odd Fellows Hall, corner
of Sixth-st., and Minnesota-ave by
the members of Wyandotte Council No.
81, Loyal Mystic Legion of America. A
feature of the entertainment will be a
nail-driving contest between we'll
known women of Kansas City, Kan,
for a silver water set.
The contest will be open to all women
present at the entertainment no
entrance fee to the contest being re-
quired. The contestants will be given
dozen nails, pine blocks and small
hammer each, and at the word "go''
they will begin driving the nails in the

OFF TO THE RACES TO-DAY.

The Steamer Richard Peck VIII Leave
at 10 o'clock for New London-Fine
View of the Finish.
The steamer Richard Peck will make
an excursion trip to-day to the great
boat race at New London. The boat
will carry, it is expected, 1000 passen-
gers and will furnish them an excellent
view of the finish. She will leave Belle
dock at 10 o'clock this morning instead
of 1890, as was originally intended.
The change is necessary in order that
the boat may be in time to secure a
good place at the finish. AT the restau-
rant on board the prices will be the
same as usual.
The Old Guard band will furnish the
music on the trip. The fare for the
round trip from New Haven to New
London and return is $1.75. Immediate
ly after the race the boat will return
to New Haven without touching at
New London. The boat will arrive in
New Haven in plenty Of time for the
celebration which will occur in case
Yale wins the race.

The stock Market.

New York, June H.-The stock mar
ket to-day gave renewed evidence of a
general disposition among important
financial interests to restrict confident
operations until developments in the
war situation, more stability to the
grain market and clearer perception
to the future of the money market ma
terialize. Apprehension regarding the
latter factor involving, as it does, the
floating of the new government loan,
has been largely dissipated by the
enormous over-subscription to this is
sue and the excessive ease to current
rates in the money market. Call ac-
commodations were made to-day in ex-
ceptional cases at 1 per cent. Ruling
rates, however, were principally 1A@
IL per cent. with the great bulk of the
transactions at the minimum figure.
The tone Of time money showed great
er ease, but quotations were not ap-

The Doctor Has Arrived
And Will Make the Lame Walk
and the Deaf Hear.

One of the moss wonderful sights ever
witnessed in New Haven will be that OF
DR.. Grays exhibition tonight. 1t will
greatly excel anything ever attempted
before the public, and will be a sight
well worth witnessing; it will be full of
wild and tragic events as well as serl-
GUS and pathetic scenes, and many
times outrivas that of a drama. DR..
Gray will perform such cures as will as
tonish the skeptical, set the serious to
thinking, and convince the doubtful.
Hundreds have been snatched from
the brink of the grave and restored to
health and happiness by this great for
eign healer. No man ever visited Amer
lea who has created such sensation or
has received as many testimonials and
affidavits as DR.. Gray. Everywhere he
meets with the same gratifying results,
and those who have received treatment
at his hands express nothing but words
of praise and commentator in favor OF
this wonderful specialist.
All those who are on crutches, rheu-
matte or paralytic. and wish to be cur
ed free, are invited upon the stage for
treatment. 1t matters not whether your
case be of long or short standing, If
amenable to cure you will arise and
