American WorRmen.

The nations of the world are appreciat-
ing the value of American machinery. and
are importing it largely, but as Mr. Ford
says i'll The Triumph of the American
idea in The New England Magazine for
September, ''the American idea on for
eign soil needs American Drawn and brain
TO get the most perfect results; it is
cheaper in the end to send our own active
workmen abroad to put together Yankee
locomotives and install Yankee plants.
The Westinghouse people find it econom-
zeal TO place American workmen at the
heads of departments of the great air
brake works at st. Petersburg. And in
England the Maxim Works would gladly
use only. American workmen, the English
trades unions having refused to permit its
members to utilize more than a very linn
tied amount of the labor-saving power of
the magnificent American installation. In
vain has Sir Hiram Maxim sought to in
troduce the American idea among his
workmen. The representatives of the
British trades unions insist that dire laZi-
ness is at the root Of the American idea,
and that the restless american workman
merely wears himseifi out inventing i'm
provement, so that he may be enabled to
loaf while still drawing wages, while the
British wOrkman's love for fair play for
bids him doing more work than the weak
est individual can accomplish. L know
that this idea is carried out to such an ex-
tent, in fact, that many unions will not
permit workmen in large factories to turn
out more work on machine of new in
vention than can be done as of old by
hand, yet both the Germans and English
now initiate our tools, even to the trade
marks, and in canny Scotland the reputa-
ton of America for perfect workmanship
stands so high that a Scotch firm makes
an imitation of one of our Western stoves,
advertising it broadcast as the simon pure

MAGAZINES and Notes.

The September issue of The New Eng
land Magazine comes i'll Colonial blue and
white, and marks new departure in its
honorable history. Hereafter its edito-
rial offices are to be in New York, and,
while still pleasing and satisfying its own
long-held constituency, its scope is to be
brOadened and II national interest aroused.
The humors of the county fair have
been depicted on the stage, but L. S.
Nadal will impart to the fair fine liter
airy charm in his article which will lead
the October Scribner's. Mr.. Nadal is an
expert in horses as well as a writer of
achieved position.
The St. Nicholas Magazine announces a
new departure for the coming year. 1t
will no longer have serial stories, but every
other issue of the magazine will contain
a long story complete in that one num-
Der. The new departments, Mature and
Science and ''St. Nicholas League" have
attracted the attention of educators every
where, and have done much to increase
the circulation of st. Nicholas.
Some Real History in The Crisis is
the title of the leading article in The
American Illustrated Methodist Magazine
for September. 1t deals with the proto-
types of some of the leading characters in
Winston Churchilrs book, notably the late
james Z. Yeatman. who is the Calvin
Brinsmade of THE Crisis"
The coming season of The Century
Magazine will be "A Year of American
Humor." Contributions have already been
engaged from the best-known American
writers of humorous stories and sketches.

Guards without having to deal ere the
day had passed with the dusty veterans at
his heels.
Four days marching from Perryvills In
the wake of Bragg's army on Oct: 10
brought us to Grab Orchard and three
miles beyond. Our progress was reduced
to one-half our usual speed by the resist
ance offered by his rear guard and the
possibility of finding his veterans in line
Of battle to receive us; but his marching
column appeared to be away beyond our
reach, and now we were sure he would
not offer battle, since he has made no
effort to do so at Grab Orchard, where
we fully expected to find him.
We did not march today. 1t is evident
that Buell. has stopped to consider what
next TO do.
Oct. II was another idle day, and con-
WINGED us that the pursuit of Bragg has
been abandoned. for if we could not over
take him by marching continuously we
certainly cannot do so after this delay.
Bitter complaints are heard in the ranks
against Gen. Buell. for the failure of this
campaign.
Our present situation is not calculated
to improve our temper, as the nights are
frosty and we have no tents and but one
thin blanket to each man. Wood is very
scarce, and with no axes, the result is
poor and very few fires. We pass the
night in changing from one miserable po-
sition to another, now budding around
few smoking embers until too sleepy
to sit up any longer, then lying on Inc
cold ground away from the tire-for there
is no room near ito snatch an hour OF
troubled sleep, by which time being thor
oughly chilled, we rush back to the fire
to get thawed out. Thus it is that spec
tiers may be seen fitting to and fro ali
night, growing at everything connected

GEN. GREENE'S PLATE.
1t Has Been Returned to the Georgia His
torical Society.

The silver plate found upon the coffin
of the late Gen. Nathaniel Greene in the
vault in the old Colonial Cemetery, this
city, says the Savannah, Ga, news, and
which was taken North by Colonel Asa
Bird Gardiner for the purpose of clean
ing for further Identification, has been re-
turned by the Secretary of the Rhode Isl
and Society of the Cincinnati to the Gus
tody of the Historical Society. The an
nOuncement previously made that chem
ical treatment of the plate had shown, as
was believed TO be the case, that the plate
was from the coffin of Gen. Greene, is
fully borne out by the plate, now fully
restored, though badly worn. The in
scriptiOn now stands out very clearly, and
reads as follows: Nathaniel Greene,
Obit June 10. 1856. Ale fl years.
This completely establishes the claim
to the discovery of Gen. GIeene's remains.
1t is proposed to inclose the plate, which
is quite small. in a glass case, for the pur-
pose of exhibiting at the rooms of the
Historical Society. The question of the
further disposition of Gen. Greene's re-
mains was incidentally referred to, but
was not discussed. 1t has been thought
likely that the Rhode Island societies
might make u demand for the removal of
the remains to that State, with a view to
the erection of monument there, but
there has been 10 notice of anything of
this kind as yet. At present Gen. Greene's
remains rest in the vault of the Southern
Bank

The pedestal is of American gray
granite, the four sides of which are
highly polished. Surrounding the ped
estal stands fine Italian marble
statue of Jennie Wade. On the sub-base'
in large raised letters, is the name Jennie
Wade" The inscriptions on the monu-
ment are as follows: On the one side,

On another side, Whatsoever God
willeth must be. though nation

u courage born of loyalty, she hath done
what she could"
The monument is modelled after the de-
sign selected by Mrs. e. W. Mcclellan,
n sister to Jennie 1t is said that the
figure and features of the statue present
a good likeness of the heroine. The cost
of the monument was about 81 600, and 1t
stands over 10 feet high. =
JENNIE wADE's HOUSE.
The house in which Jennie Wade lived
ut the time of the battle is apparently a
one-story double brick house. as viewed
from the outside. However, on entering
il is found to have two rooms on the hrst
floor, on each side of the house, and Il
stairway in the rear room leads to sec
ord floor, where two plastered rooms are
found, each having a small window in the
end of the house, the sides of the house
being alike.
At the time of the battle that neighbor-
hood possessed fewer houses, and this one,
being located on high ground, was in full
view of the Confederate sharpShooters,
who deemed it possible headquarters
of the Union army, and thus it was that
this house was a mark for many bullets.

dropping on the outer side of the house.
HOW JENNIE WADE WAS KILLED.
The position of the doors and the win
dOws of the house are as they were on
July 3. 1863. A number OF bullets passed
entirely through the two window sashes.
The marks of these bullets display the
position of the windows and the doors al
that time. The door, as seen through the
back window, displays a number of bullet
holes which were as clearly pierced as If
made by an auger.

homes and remain out of sight. Even
the women, many, after having been
warned to leave the town, remained brave
ly in their houses. Jennie Wade had
been warned repeatedly to vacate the
place, but she had invariably refused 70
do so.
Curiously it was that at almost the
same moment a Confederate Colonel fell
near the place that Jennie had fallen. The
Confederates were occupying the grounds
just then. They had taken care of their
dead ColonePs body and had constructed
rough coffin for his interment, but
later a Federal column took possession of
the grounds, the rude coffin was secured
and used for the interment of the heroine,
Jennie.
Later her body was removed to the
Citizens Evergreen Cemetery, which ad-
joins the National Cemetery, where it now
rests.
Jennie had a correspondent, to whom
she was engaged. and who was in the
Union army. He fell at Winchester. He
was Corp1 Skelly, after whom the Get
tysburg G. A. R. Post was named. 1t

Jennie Wade, who was then 20 years of
age, passed through a panel of the outer
door and through the door between the
rooms, which was opened at the time, and
pierced the breast of the heroine, who had
been performing her household duties at
the time.
Her married sister lay sick a-bed in the
room adjoining at the time, and she, too,
had a narrow escape from death. AS the
shot and shell were flying about one
passed through the window of her room,
cutting off portion of post of the bed
in which she lay.
Jennie was buried in the rear of the
yard that evening by some of the soldiers
whom she had assisted in various ways,
such as carrying water and helping the
wounded during the progress of the bat
tie. The people of Gettysburg were be-
tween the two armies; nevertheless, as a
community, they did not desert their
