is entirely eliminated by most histor-
ians and by Gen. John b. Gordon and
Daniel T.. Sickles, and that is the
militia troops of New York and Penn
sylvania who defended Harrisburg and
the lire of Susquehanna. Gen. Gordon
states that he was leading the advance
OF Elwell's corps and was ready to
cross the river at Wrightsville and
march on Philadelphia. but was pre-
vented by the burning of the bridge;
but he omits to state. as do other
writer's, that it was the militia who
burned the bridge and who were
ready on the opposite bank OF the
river to dispute his crossing and to
defend Harrisburg and Philadelphia.
Gen. Gordon thinks that IL he had not
been withdrawn from his attack on
the Union right on the first day the
Corfederates might have won the vic
tory. But what would have resulted
II the New York militia, 1900 strong,
had not been on hand to check this
march on Harrisburg? II is all very
well to say forty years after the bat

Battle of Forts Wagner.

Members Of the Robert G. Shaw
veteran association met last night at
their headquarters, 8 Alden street, and
held exercises commemorative OF the
fortieth anniversary of the battle of
Fort Wagner. The principal speakers
were Judge Charles Cowley Of Lowell,
Maj. J. Wesley Furlong commander
of the corps, who was present at that
battle and near Col. Robert G. Shaw
when he fell leading his black sol.
diers of the Fifty-fourth Massachu-

years ago to-day your regiment won a
high place in the history of the civil
war. Col. Shaw, in the battles van,

causes.

state treasurer of New Hampshire,
who was attached to the staff OF Gen.

Southern politeness replied. "Ex.

Yes, SIR"

why: About a month ago we left

say the same corps is before US. How

you were going, so he sent the Sixth

Now, II you do not believe that the

This information was conveyed to
Gen. Early, and he knew what Il was
to meet the Sixth Corps; he had met
it before, and always got licked. Tho
lie told by the prisoner was this: In

often dream of but seldom attain. Per-
haps the most plausible excuse for this
neglect of physical training is the lack
of time to go where the apparatus for
the work may be found, but this ex.

omission of exercise in the future, for
an apparatus has been invented which
can be folded up and carried in the

the lack of actual muscular exertion,
While the bag is small enough when

no inconsiderable amount OF skill and
accuracy to drive it from the hand
even a few times without missing a

be used in the exercise, and to vary
the speed of the return 1t Is only
necessary to change the length OF the

Producing Arsenic by the Ton.

When the statement Is made that
during last year Canada produced 725
tons of arsenic one is apt to wonder
where It all comes from. A mining
Journal is authority for the statement
that 1t was all extracted from gold
ores with the bromocyanogen process.
After the concentrates have been freed
of their gold contents, the remaining
matter is passed through a cylindrical
washer, and the arsenical fumes are
condensed in suitable chambers. Al
ter passing through refining process
and being again condensed and col.
lected in a second set of chambers, the
resulting product is stated to be over
90 per cent of arsenic of a pure white
color.
