Rare Relics in War Museum.

The visitor who has the good for
tune 20 get a peep inside the museum
of Capt. F. II. Buffum at Winchester,
n. H., discovers a rare collection of
war time relics and souvenirs.
Capt. Buffum was color bearer of
his regiment during a portion of the
conflict, and has, neatly framed, a
fine reproduction of his regimental
colors. Close by is fragment of that
same flag, shot away by cannon ball
in battle. The piece was later picked
up and preserved.
Another fragment of cloth attracts
attention. and upon inquiry it is found
to be a piece of John Browns blanket.

lectures before the Lowell institute.
He was the youngest member of
Stonewall Jackson's staff in the war.
Douglas had come into possession of
very valuable picture of Mosby, and
while in Boston gave it to his warm
friend, Capt. Buffum. The photo was
taken at LeestOwn. Mosby is shown

whom he captured, telling him that
perhaps he needed them more than
the captain did.-Boston Post.

At Chickamauqa.

Speaking of perilous positions re-
minds me that Jerry Ryan, still living
in Chicago, did some extricating at a
critical juncture worth remembering.
When Gen. John B. Turchin made his
famo"5 charge on the afternoon of
Sept. 20 at Chickamauga the Twenty
First Indiana battery was left at the
angle where the right of Turchin's S
line had rested. Ryan, with the assist
ance of a corporal and a driver, linn
bered up two guns and retired diagon-
ally back across the Lafayette road,
swinging slantwise to Clonds hill,
and, reaching Col Dan McCook' S
right, reported to that offi.7er.
Soon Gen. Turchin SWING round to
the left, driving the rebels from the
Union rear, and brought up on Clouds
hill with McCook's men. That charge
to clear the rear of the enemy was one
of the finest military spectacles | ever
saw. The rebels had passed the
Union flank and were swarming in
the rear, when Gen. Thomas called
Gen. Turchin's attention to the mat
ter. Gen. Turchin forgot to present
his compliments, but saAd, in the hear
ing of all men, The tam rascals. We
will drive them out
"He faced his men to the rear and
charged on the exultant rebels, swing
ing his line to the left. When his
horse was shot under him he followed
the charging line on foot, indicating
the direction that the line was to take
by waving his sword. After a time an
artillery horse with harness on him
was brought to Turchin, and mount
ing him, the general maneuvered his
brigade to the accomplishment of his
purpose.
Gen. Turchin had a bitter cortro-
versy with certain me nbers of the
Chickamauga commission as to the
position of his brigade in the final
maneuvers on Sept. 20, but | happen
to know that the late Gen. Boynton
was in sympathy with the surviving
members of McCook's brigade in their
efforts to place a monument or tablets
on McCloud's hill to mark the posi-
tion held by the brigade at the close
of the battle. The government has
built barracks on Clouds hill, but Gen.
Boynton, not long before his death.
said that he would urge the Chicka-
mauga park commission to set bronze
tablets in front of the houses or quar-
ters built on the line held by the bri-
gade when the battle closed. ."-Chica-

commercial traveller, named George
Barnstead. His testimony is of so
astounding a nature that it needs to
be well authenticated and vouched
for, as it is in this instance. Mr..
Barnstead is of an active, alert ma
ture, and little goes on under his
gaze without notice.
And this was what he observed at
Portland depot, where he loitered for
some time, expecting to meet an
other runner named Hurd. He saw a
man-whom he has since recognized
as Vane Hamilton, the plaintiff, by
his photograph-standing irresolutely
by himself, travelling bag in hand and
dressed as Mr.. Hamilton was dressed
when he left Grovedale. He stood
there in the same attitude for at least
two minutes. He appeared to be
troubled in his mind, Mr. Barnstead
thought At the expiration of the two
minutes, more or less, another man
entered and looked at Mr.. Hamilton
as II deeply astonlshed, literally as
If he could not keep his eyes off. He
was man of about Mr. Hamiiton's
height, with long, dark whiskers and
dark hair, In some respects he re-
sembled Mr, Hamilton, particularly
about the eyes, He looked at him
so intently, walking away and then
returning as If about to accost him,
that he was observed at last by the
subject of his scrutiny. who, to Mr..
Barnsteads surprise, walked up close
to the man and said:
You appear to know me. Who
am I?'
The man was evidently taken
aback by this strange query. he hest,
tated only for a moment, however, re-
plying:
You are Henry Ashley
Are you sure? asked Mr. Hamil-
ton, anNiously.
Perfectly said tho man. I know
you WELL and he then entered into
conversation, the two soon walking
of together.
Here, gentlemen, is the unravel
ment of the mystery. The man was
Ashley himself. a fugitive from JUS
tice, detained by some means at Port

himself; for all accounts agree that
he was the very double of Hamilton

the counsel of Stone a Ferguson,

The claimant case was one of the

principals sat with their counsel, Mrs.
Hamilton and her uncle together in
the audience
Mr.. Morley opened the case for the
plaintiff la something like the follow.

Hamilton, the father, lost the greater
part of his property, and after time,

HIGH BUT UNFULFILLED HOPEa
Ambitious Boy Came Back to Home
With at Least a Hat.


Prof G. A. Hill, of the United
States Naval Observatory, said, before
sailing to study the suns eclipse:
II have high hopes of this expedi-
tion, but a cloud may ruin all. | de-
sire to come back overloaded with
erything depends on chance, and per-
haps | will return as empty-handed as
| so away.
High hopes, great eXpectations-in
the end, nothing. In this aspect
eclipse expeditions are like the eXpe-
ditions of young men from the coun-
try, who give up the plow and haste
cityward, expecting in little while to
become bank presidents, captains of
industry, and millionaires.
Alas, hopes high enough accom-
pany the expeditions of these youths.
The boy departs bravely. His honest
father and mother while away the
long and lonely evenings on the farm
with dreams of his future success.
They recount to one another his in
Vulnerable virtues. Such virtues, they
say, must inevitably lead him to the
governors chair, to a senatorial toga,
to a mayoralty, and so on.

A SPLENDID CHARITY.
More Than 700 Crippled Children
Have Been Given Pleasure.


There is beneficent charity in New
York City called the crippled child
ren's driving fund, which ever since
last April until now has employed big
stages to take little cripples out driv-
ing. through Central park, up River
side drive. and into the country. Any
poor crippled child has been eligible
as a driving guest, trained nurse has
gone with each omnibus full of more
or less helpless little ones, and the
stages have picked up their occupants
from the East side and the West side,
and uptown and downtown. In many
cases this has been the only outing
which the little sufferers have had,
and to go from the dingy rooms in the
tenements for such an outing has been
TO them delightful beyond description.
More than 700 crippled children have
thus been given pleasure and benefit
during the season that has now come
10 its close. Several hundred little
ones from the hospitals have also been
taken driving, and it need not be add
ed that this charity is one of the most
humane and valuable that the great
city has produced
