the prospective purchasers immedi-

scented by aboriginal outlay, together
with our profit. By this time, how
ever, we had come to think more OF
the property than ever, and what
looked like a good business transac-
ton at first, now seemed insignificant,
when compared with what the prop
erty would be worth under develop

were Intending to incorporate the
claims and to mine them N a large

the claims were purchased for the

~istence, as follows:

MooTED POINT IN HISTORY
Eyewitness Explains End of the
Merrimac and Why the Con-
federates Blew Her Up.

In a communication recently pub
lished iL the Troy Times, William l..
Stone, of Mount Vernon, N. Y, in the
interest Of the truth of history"
says in regard to the destruction of
the Merrimac at Hampton Roads in
the spring of 1892
Second. the Merrimac was not sunk
by the Monitor, but, being driven into
the Roads by that vessel, was subse-
quently blown up, either by the con-
federates or ourselves, this being still
Il mooted point. So much for his
tory"
II one who was present on that
memorable occasion may venture TO
speak on this "mooted point" the
writer, who was an officer attached
to the United States ship Susquehan-
ma, then lying at anchor at Fortress
Monroe. and who saw the fragments
of the Merrimac as they fell, begs to
say that the Merrimac was not
driven into the Roads by that ves-
sell the Monitor); also that the Mer-
rimac was destroyed by the confed-
crates. There was no question about
that at the time of the occurrence
among those who were present and
participated in the stirring events OF
the period.
The facts are that a movement by
land on Norfolk had been projected
and was being projected under the eye
OF President Lincoln. Troops had been
conveyed in barges from Fortress Mon
roe to Sewells Point, and We're NOV
ing or Norfolk. This movement forced
the evacuation of Norfolk and its
fortifcations by the confederates. Ihe
navy yard was fired and the Merrimac,
which had been lying at Norfolk,
moved down Hampton Roads, where
her officers and crew destroyed her.
The Monitor was all the time at an
cho; near Susquehanna. She did
not drive the Merrimac "into the
Roads" The federal vessels, which
were all lying with anchors buoyed,
slipped their cables and Immediately
after the explosion were under way for
Norfolk. The Susquehanna was the
second vessel in the line. The first,
whose name l forgot. met with no diff
ficulty. but the Susquehanna struck
upon a pile of obstruction, which, for
tunately, she passed over, and pro-
ceeded with the first vessel, and short
ly reached Norfolk, where at the navy
yard the fire was still raging furious
ly. So much for the 'mooted point"

Pretty Little War Anecdote.

After the final surrender of the con
fedcrate forces at Appomattox Gen. Lee
and Gen. Meade. who before the out
break of hostilties had been comrades
In the United States army, met with
mutual delight and Immediately re-
sumed the terms of intimate friendship
which had been temporarily interrupted
By the war. In the course Of the great
conflict they had several times been pit
ted against each other Meade being the
victor and Lee the losing commander
at Gettysburg. In the course of their
talk on the day of the reconciliation
Lee remarked playfuily TO his old friend
that he was beginning to feel the weight
of years. time was telling upon him. 10
this Meade replied: "It lent time. ,bu,
Gen. Lee who has made me gray and
wrinkled."

had one time cherished dreams of
becoming trained nurse myself; hence
Miss Newell, after her avowal assumed
new interest for Inc. With youthful
indiscretion l proceeded to do just what
she had been avolding-to lead her mind
back to her work. She, filled with the
love of her calling, easily fell into my
snare. Quite unconscious of her late
resolutions. she was soon pouring forth
many of her experiences into my will
ing ears.
After awhile, as memories began to
throng, she paused for several mo-
ments, and her face saddened.
"My dear child" she finally con-
tinued, "if you should ever become u
nurse, it Is the soul suffering you will
be confronted with that will remain
with you longest. After a time one
grows somewhat deadened 10 physical
sufferings; and then there is always
something one can do in such cases.

had charge Of the nurses on the first
hospital ship that was sent out TO Cuba
You remember how, at that time, it was
a fad Of the society girls to go out as
nurses to the soldier boys. On our shin
we had wealthy young lady, Miss
c.. of New York, acting as nurse.
She was a gloriously beautiful woman
with queenly way Of doing things even
if it were but dropping the medicine.
"You read, of course, about the great
number Of poor fellows brought aboard
our ships the day Of the battle of San
Juan. All! but We we're busy that day.
Late in the afternoon young soldier
was brought to the ship with bullet
through his left side. He was a great
big, handsome fellow with silky blond
hair and delicate features l saw at
once that he had no chance. We dressed
his wound and made him as comfortable
as possible but he sank into a coma.

ON her knees beside him with a pitifui

and while she was agonizing over him

Miss Newell closed her story abruptly
with a sad little drop in her voice at the
nd
silence for space. She was back amidst
the scene of her busy life. and was med
itating on the strange coincidence by

TOO full at the feet, ami so allow them
TO be suggestive of the crinoline. On
the other hand, the long trains of the
Josephine period will counterfeit this
effect. In fact, in the matter of skirts,
there is much controversy and many
variations to choose between.
The beauty of the colorings and ma

Louis cannot be surpassed; for instance,
there are the wonderful blue and the

familiar and ii neither of these suits

such glorlfied fabrics we want, of course,
beautiful lace, and some old paste or

THE FoRAGER.
Sudden Attack of Rheumatism Pre-
vents His Using His Poultry
Loaded Drum.

At dinner during the recent Gaines
vile maneuvers, the conversation turned
to wartime foraging, and this story was
told:
There was much talk of foraging
among the veterans gathered in Boston
in August One veteran told about q
captain and certain drummer.
This drummer could almost make a
drum talk. There was hardly his equal
in the army. Hence, on every occasion
of importance, he was put in a conspicu-
GUS post, and by his great skill with
the drum sticks he reflected credit on
his company.
with colors flying bravely in the
sun, the army one morning entered a
conquered town. The tanned young he
roes stepped out splcndidly. The side
walks were crowded with onlookers,
The drummers and the fifers filled the
air with brisk, inspiring music.
"The captain marched with the colo
mel
""This is all good music, sir he said,
but | want to call your attention to
my drummer. There he is, the tall fell
low with red hair
"The two officers looked at the skilled
drummer, and, 10, he was not drum

his hip pocket, and he marched idly
and gayly along, joking and winking at

why he is neglecting his duty in this
shameful way
Trooper Smith departed and on his
return he whispered in the captain s
ear:
"The drummer has two geese and a
turkey in his drum, sir, and he says the
turkey is for YOU
"The captain glanced hastily at the
colonel to see if Smiths whisper had
been overheard. Then he said in loud
pleasant voice:
"'oh, very we'll. Why didn't he say
before that he had rheumatism in his
arms"

THE BATTLE.

Never was the air clearer,
Never seemed the heavens nearer;
Never did the sunlight shiver
Softer radiance on the river:
Never were the breezes lighter,
Nor the heecy day-clouds whittier.
All was lovely as vision
From the unseen world Elysian
Yet there seemed dread forekrowiug,
flushing cen the rivers flowing.
AS when earth. her breath suspending,
Waits the mighty storm clouds rending
Half league between them lying.
Armed with flags, before them flying,
Sword and saber glittering brightly,
Where the sunbeams touch them lightly
Moved two mighty armies. speeding
To the conflict, death unhecdinG.
Every one flashed bright and brighter;
Not one manly cheek grew whittier;
Nor the war steed loudly neighing.

modern warfare is an automatic pro-

forces in 1898. 1t is cigar-shaped and
about 16 feet in length, being made of a

worked by automatic machinery in its
interior. the lever being released ard
