HATCHET WITH STATUE.
Act of Vermont Captain MT Gettys'
burg to BE Preserved on
= Monument.

1t is not always best to bury the
hatchet, especially if it is an historical
one.
1t has been decided that the statue
of Capt. Stephen F. Brown, which is
part of the monument marking the
spot where the Thirteenth Vermont in
fantry stood at Gettysburg, will show
a hatchet. Cape Stephen f. Brown
was prisoner at the time the battle
of Gettysburg began, but he was re-
leased, and with hatchet heroically
led his company until he wrested from
a rebel officer sword and pistol.
The hatchet in the statue rests near
the captains right foot. The presence
of the hatchet in any position natur-
ally suggests inquiry, and that is just
why the Nermonters wanted it there.
Every cemetery guide will know the
story of Capt. Brown and his hatchet,
visitors will tell it to their children,
and it will become history.
At the battle of Gettysburg the Thir-
teenth Vermont was a part of Gen.
STANDARDS Vermont command. The
Second Vermont brigade had been left
on outpost duty in Virginia until the
third day after the army of the Potomac
had passed it in pursuit of Lees troops
into MAJ Lend and Pennsylvania. Then
the brigade got orders to proceed by
forced marches to join the army of the
Potomac. The latter was also on a
forced march, but in six days time the
NermOnters had overtaken the main
body. just before the first days battle
Capt. Browns command came up to q
we'll at which was an armed guard.
"You can't get water here" said the
guard. "'Gainst orders"
"D-n your orders," said Capt
Brown, and then, with all the canteens
of the men, and with only one man to
help him, he thrust the guard aside
and filled the canteens. His arrest fol
lowed, and he was deprived of his sword
The history-making battle began
with Capt. Brown prisoner. He
begged for a chance to rejoin his com.
panJ, and was allowed to go. He picked
up camp-hatchet and ran TO the firing
line, rushed into the fray, and singing
out rebel officer 80 yards away, pen
etrated the rebel ranks. collared the
officer, wrestling from him his sword
and pistol, after watch he dropped his
hatchet, while his men chsered hin

Perfumed Pads for BEDS.

While many a housewife has made il
her habit to lay away the bed linen in
lavender scented closets, it was not
until recently that the perfumed pad
invaded the bed itself. This pad is a
thin quilted affair, which has one layer
of cotton plentifully besprinkled with
the favorite scent-either rose, laven-
der or violet-in a sachet powder.
From time to time the powder is re-
newed around the edges. The pad is
LAID between the mattress and the lower
sheet. Pillows are also opened at the
corners and sachet powder shaken into
the feathers. Those who are fond of
the smell of pine woods gather pine
needles during the summer and use
them about the wide hens of the pads
and pillows, making special little sacks
for the needles and filling them in
fiat.

neclilst, a score of bracelets and two
or three anklets encircle .he neck,
arms and ankles respectively. Sundry
ornaments are also placed in the hair.
The bracelets most commonly worn
are made of glass ornamented with col
ored shellac. The necklet is often com
posed of the current coin, but the size
increases and diminishes with the fiuc-
tuations of the income.
Having no individuality apart from
her husband, woman is practically an
irresponsible creature, except that
should she have the i'll grace to out
live him she is blamed as the cause of
his death, but then the circumstances
are quite beyond her control, since it
is the consequence of some crime of
which she is guilty in former ex.
istence, and therefore must be accept
ed as her fate in her present life.
She takes no part in public worship,
and they say that serving a husband
is the wifes religion, for that to worship
the husband is to worship the gods.
She only takes part in such ceremonies
as relate to her position as wife and
mother.
In recognition of the superiority of
the man an Indian woman always sits
on lower seat than her husband. She
walks at a respectful distance behind
him, and never presumes to eat with
him, always preparing his food and
waiting upon him while he eats it, be-
fore she gives any thought to her own
meal. 1t is not thought correct for a
woman to utter her husbands name.
The laws of Hindooism teach that a
woman must at no period of her life
do anything according to her own pleas
ure, since in childhood she is dependent
upon her father, in youth on her hus-
band, and in widowhood on her sons,
or, should she have no sons, on the llins-
men of her deceased husband, or on
other male relatives, and failing all
such relatives she becomes dependent
upon the rajah."
Mohammed wrote: "Alen shall have
the preeminence above women, because
of those advantages wherein God hath
caused the former to excel the latter"

VANDALISM OF SOLDIERS.
wRnton Destruction of Property by
Reckless Characters on
the Rampage.

"Indiscriminate charges of vandalism
against soldiers" said the colonel,
"were as common as blackberries in
1861 and 1862, and the copperheads
rarely referred to n union soldier eX-
cept as vandal, who was killing men
for hire. We expected n certain kind
of abuse from the rebels, but we were
not prepared for the charge that we
were the riffraf of creation and born
pillagers. Our regiment was raised in
a college town and nine-tenths of the
men were high grade, genteel, chivalric
young fellows, who regarded any sort
of thieving with adherence. We made
1o0-mile march in the enemy's coun-
try without stealing chicken or a
pig.
1--WE were priding ourselves on MAX
ing an excellent impression, when we
were informed by rebel newspaper
in on of the towns captured that we
had been robbing and burning houses
and abusing women all the way up the
valley. Two weeks later the same
charges were repeated in copperhead
paper published in our home county.
The effect was demoralizing on the
more reckless men of the regiment
and they wrote letters home complain
ing of the rigid discipline that guarded
every sort of rebel property, and that
compelled the soldiers to eat bacon and
hardtack in midsummer, when chickens
were walking over them, and nice, fat
young hogs were roofing down their
tents.
'In good time the union troops came
to live off the country, but even then
there was no violence. There was great
respect for churches and religion
among all classes of soldiers, whether
they came from city or country. Dur
ing our first week in service a Methodist
church was thrown open for our use
as barracks. We saw afterward an ac-
count in a copperhead paper saying
that we had practically ruined the in
terror, and that the ladies of the con-
gregation refused to enter the building.
The truth was that there was so much
respect for the church among the men
that they didn't want the band to play
inside, and the greatest care was taken
not to soil or injure the furnishings.
This feeling continued throughout the
service, and cannot remember single
complaint of church desecration in our
four years of service. But we were
accused of firing on and running all
churches that came in our way.
Our regiment was very careful
about pillaging, but there We're few
men who would raid every house left
vacant, if close watch was not kept

WOMEN IN THE ORIENT.
Among the HIndoos They Have No
Interest In Heaven and Very Lit
tie In Earthly Things.

The Mohammedan peasant woman is
spared all the jealousy and misery of
sharing her title of wife with others,
since her husband cannot afford to in
dulge in polygamy, though Moham-
medan of the better class may indulge
in as many as four wives at n time,
but it is not supposed to exceed that
number. However, he can have just as
many wives in his lifetime as he pleases,
since he may resort to divorce on the
smallest pretext, and as frequently as
he chooses.
A Hindoo is generally supposed to
have but one wife, but should she bear
him no son within seven years he may
take another; also for other reasons,
sometimes the most trivial. The high
est rank of the Hindoos are privileged
to take as many wives as they like,
and, since each wife brings him good
dowry, one of these aristocrats will
wed as many as 100 wives, sometimes
marrying all the eligible members of
one family, and even engaging himself
to 30 brides in one day.
In addition to the work of the house
hold the woman always engages in
some remunerative employment, such
as picking, cleaning spinning or weav-
ing cotton, in company with others, or
she makes vermiceli, weaves baskets,
manufactures fans, or embroiders
chaddars and caps with silk, in her own
home.
Her costume varies according to her
religion, race and rank, and so nu-
merous and minute are the differences
in dress that in the case of man even
his occupation may be known by his
clothing.
Women of all ranks make great dis
play of jewelry, the rich wearing gold
and precious stones, and the poor either
silver or some manufactured material
of little value. Numberless rings adorn
the ears, nose, fingers and toes. A

stripes. Years after, when that lad
had grown to mans estate and had
become minister of the Gospel, a
member of the North Ohio conference,
in 1861, when the country was lurid
with the smoke and flames of civil
war, he preached from his pulpit in
Keene sermon of impassioned patri.
otic eloquence from the words: "Out
of the south cometh the whirlwind." !"
in which he described the scene and
oath in Belfast. The effect upon his
congregation was wonderful. The
hour had come for the preacher to full
fill his vow, and no paper being at
hand, the young pastor wrote out and
signed an enlistment on the hy-leaf of
hymn-book, and appealed for volun-
teers to join him. Sixty at once en-
rolled, and the next day the list grew
to 100, and, with the pastor for cap
tain, became H company, in Col. Eph-
rain r. Eckley's Eightieth Ohio vol
unteer infantry, doing gallant service
in the Vicksburg and Atlanta cam
paigns, proving himself courageous,
wise and successful officer.
Then he was sent as consul to Milan,
and afterward made an extensive tour
through Europe and the Holy Land.
Returning, he spent the closing years
of his life in and about Cleveland,
where, in great peace and honor, he
died the other morning in his sixty
seventh year. While student in Bel
fast college, his native oratorical pow
ers were quickened into life by hear
ing many famous speakers, among
whom were Guthrie, Chalmers, D'Au-
gigne, Cough, Gavazzi and Kossuth.
However eloquent as preacher, he won
his greatest renown as a lecturer and
orator on philanthropic and patriotic
themes, for which he was in demand
from one end of the country to the
other.-Christian Advocate.

Moths Routed by Perrume.

1t has become known to the wise
ones that the destructive moth despises
the pleasant fragrance of perfumes.
For this reason the pungent and dis
agreeable remedy is not always neces-
sary to rid wardrobes and closets of the
ruinous insect. The mixture which is
said to work this magical result is pre-
pared as follows: Take one ounce each
of cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, caraway
seed, mace and tonka beans, pound to
powder and mix them with six ounces
of orris root, which must also be in
powder. These ingredients may be
obtained ready crushed at druggists.

WIIdernesa hummer.

Several cargoes of lumber of consid-
erable interest from a historical point
of view have just been delivered in Phil
adelphia. The lupber was obtained on
the Wilderness battlefield, and the bills
of lading show that the trees were felled
and the lumber sawed on the famous
field where Lee and Grant fought so
fiercely and stubbornly for supremacy.
In some of the planks the mimic balls
can be plainly seen, particularly whore
the bullets have been cut through by
the saw, which seemed to go through
the lead as easily as through piLe. The

where the bullets were found are discol-

freighted with Indian meal for the
sufferers. This lady was the mother
of G. w. Pepper. The generous act
of this government so thrilled her
that, taking her sons hand and rails

to God that should any calamity
ever overtake the American people,

a SUIT IMMINENT.
President Fouke Makes Tender For
Lands to Caddo Levee Board.

it will be remembered that at a
meeting previous to the one held
few days ago, resolution was
adopted by the Caddo levee board,
by vote of four to two, one mem
ber being absent and one being va
cant, agreeing to sell 20, 600 acres
of the levee boards land, more or
less, to the Texarkana d Shreve-
port Railway company for the nom
inal consideration of three cents
per acre. While not so stated in
the resolution, the object in selling
the land to the railway company at
that figure was to practically make
a donation of it to aid the company
in building its road.
1t is held by some of the best
legal talent in the city that the
levee board cannot legally take this
action. President E. NJ. Smith of
the board, Gen. It, F, Bell and Mr.,
Dwight Hall, members strongly op-
posed the action of the majority on
this ground, and upon the advice
of the boards attorney declined to
sign the deeds if they should be
presented to him for that purpose.
Not until yesterday, however,
was any action taken by the off
GERS of the railway company to in
dicate Just what action would be
taken, if any. Yesterday President
Fouke, with an attorney, called
upon President Smith and indicated
that he was prepared to make a
tender of the purchase price of the
lands and would expect him to sign
the deeds, which he had already
made out in due form. President
Smith Indicated that he desired to
have Mr.. David Land, attorney for
the board, present before he would
give his final answer Mr. Land
had gone home and it was too late
to take further action which, by
mutual agreement was deferred
until this morning.
The indications are that the case
will find its way into the courts.
Today will probably decide the
point. Both President Fouke and
President Smith declined to say
anything regarding the matter uu-
til the business in hand is disposed
of one way or the other.-Shreve-
