A visiting member of the late Maine
Heavy Artillery in Augusta. yester-
day. told Il Glory Of the narrow escape
some Of the men had one day from
death on account of the carelessness Of
a man handling a Krag-Jorgensen rife
1t seems that the krag is a rife that
is likely to bother a novice and some of
the Maine men had the Krag issued
to them down there. If the man is not
careful in opening and closing the
chamber he will explode the cartridge
if il is in the chamber. At the time
mentioned the man had forgotten he
had 4 cartridge in the chamber of his
gun, and when after the relief had
marched in and were about to be dis
missed this man went through the form
of opening ard closing the chamber
when his gun exploded. The bullet
passed between the legs Of private
who was sitting on a board pile. Near
this private were 20 or more other men
and had the bullet been aimed differ
emily. some enc would have been hurt.

made as 10 whether the proposition
was to take Wallace to his own home
or To the Togus Home. In case the
court reporter had said the officer
said, Let us take him TO his home"

You will see crowds looking indifferently
upon moving columns of soldiers, but
where the band strikes up their blood stirs
and their hats go into the air. Peculiar
scenes of the kind have been noticed in
times of war Stirred by the strains of
martial music, spectators have voluntar-
lily jumped into the ranks and volunteer
ed for immediate service in the field. His
tory records numerous instances where
the tide of battle has been turned by the
action of a heroic band Of musicians, who,
by stepping gayly into a breach, playing
the national airs, rallied the faltering
troops

ual observer what finely developed and

Is the constant practice of his art not in
some way responsible for this? And this
being so, may we not look forward in the

majestic symphonies Of Beethoven or the
weird mysticism of Wagner as is the

MUSIC AND NERVOUSNESS.

Month of Medical Treatment.

f. N, Innes in the Philadelphia Times.
There can be no doubt that music has
direct effect upon the nervous organiza ton.
BY perfectly natural process 1t produces
physical and mental changes. which, to the
unthinking, seem unaccountable. Any
body may have seen a cold. phlegmau,
person aroused by music to such enthus-
iasm as 10 rise and shout. forgetful of all
his surroundings.
l saw a most interesting illustration Of
this only few days ago. 1t was the &C.
casion of our farewell concert at Atlanuc
city. where we have been playing all the
summer.
The programme, made up Of compositions
appropriate TO the occasion, had been play
ed half through In response to an en-
core we nave a piece in which Dixie" Is

stand up in their seats, and, after giving
the old-time rebel yen as The first strains
of this weli-known war song struck upon
their ears, burst into alternate tears and
sobs on the occasion Of which | speak a
strikngly beautiful young girl, dressed in
the latest Paris gown, and accompanied
by two men Presumably her brother ana
father, stood up as though electrified, way
ed her handkerchief all through the piece
and at its conclusion tore from its place
the bouquet OF roses grazing her COrSage
and in spite of the very evident protests
of her companions, insisted on throwing il
on the stage.
1t is an incontrovertible fact that music
has a beneficial effect not only uron the
health, but also the disposition of the
young. Children are rocked TO sleep with
luliabes hummed by their mothers or
nurses. The appearance OF a street or
gan or band will soothe child who is ir-
ritable or pettish. While in this case the
effect is not so pronounced as in pers 1ns

nary remarks in order not to alarm the
venerable woman, suggested a number of
historical questions which were put
by Mrs. Nakuina. From these
questions we learned that she re-
membered the abolition of Idol
airy and that she recollected the war in
that connection. She stated that she was
a married woman and an attendant of
KapoEani l when the latter descended into
the crater of Kilanea and broke the tabu.
and that her name was changed from Ko-
poolele to Apau in consequence of the
event. She then tod usher ideas COM
ing more quickly as she continued talking
that she remembered Keona being killed
at Kawaihae. This occurred in 1871.
Finally Kepoolele Apau volunteered the
information that she remembered the dig
giug of the well in Kau, and that she was
a child al The time, similar TO a child run
ming about the house-a child between 6
and years. This event occurred in 1881
and is described in Fornanders history.
This would make her ~ years old, ac-
cording to exact calculation; but il is quite
permissible TO allow her a couple of years
more as she claims.
Il followed up an other method Of in
vestlgatiou and inquired how many chill
dren she had, tracing their descendants.
This 1 was enabled to do to the fifth gem
GRAFTON. Allowing the ordinary thirty
years for a generation. four generations
would give 100 years, and we can easily
allow four years for the fifth, bringing
out her age at what she claims by an en-
lirely different method of investigation.
We were satisfied that the aged woman
had spoken the truth.
what a curious link she is with the
past. She must have been little toddling
child when Capt. Cock went to the Ha-
waiiah Islands. She has seen the mon
archy of Hawaii consolidated. and she has
seen its fall. She remains to-day a monu-
ment of the past. but one which must soon
