Concert in 4 Wei.

For many years there has been a
scarcity of water at Woolley, Hunt
ingdonshire, the result being that
when at last new well was dug the
villagers thought it a most important
event.
A religious service was conducted
around the well on Thursday after
noon, all Of the women and children
afterward being entertained at tea. In
the evening the men of the hamlet
assembled at the bottom of the well,
which was, of course, dry. After a
prayer by the Rev. A. E. Farrar, the
rector, there were songs and speeches
and refreshments were handed round.

Pension Boil Of the Country

In his last report to the president
the secretary Of the interior says:
The report of the commissioner Of
pensions for the fiscal year ending
June 80. 1904, gives the total number
of pensioners on the roll at the end
of the year as 994,762, a net loss Of
1,7S3 from the previous year. The
gains to the roll during the year were
al ,246 new pensioners and 3,12S res
torations and renewals, a total Of
47.374. OF this number 326 were pen
stoned by special act Of congress.
The losses to the roll during the same
time by death and from other causes
were 49,157, a net loss for the year OF
1888. The number Of deaths Of sol
der pensioners for the year was

wera volunteers OF the civil war. The
pension roll at the close of the fiscal
year contained the names of 72O.S15
soldiers, 27S,S41 widows and depend
ents and sos army nurses. These fig
ures include one revolutionary widow
and two daughters. and there is one
survivor Of the war of 1912 and 91S

Some of the battle fronts Of the
civil war were twelve miles long, says
Harmon w. Brown. who was war sec
retary to Gen. Grant, and no one gem
eral outside Of Grant himself knew the
reason for some Of the orders issued.
AS military secretary Brown was al
ways at Grants elbow to take his or
ders or dispatches, and was therefore
in position to know more of the ac-
tual course of the various battles than
possibly any other living man. Grants
oSders of course we're given with
knowledge of all the circumstances
along the entire battle front, knowl-
edge which of course these critics did
not possess.
Private Brown now lives in Cincin-
natl. He says he enlisted in the sum
mer of 81 in Co. of the 18th Ohio
After a years service he received an
order from Gen. U. S. Grant to report
to him for special service as military
secretary.
When he reported to headquarters
he found that Gen. Grant had been do
ing all of his own correspondence and
as he grew to know the great warrior
better, he learned that he was most
indefatigable worker, and that as last
as one matter was off his mind, ne
took up something else.
AS illustrating this point private
Brown says that Grant did not even
wait to see the troops captured at Ap-
pomattox, but as soon as the capture
was effected he Immediately returned
to City Point, arriving there twenty
four hours after the battle, and in an
other twenty-four hours he was at
Washington, preparing to close up the
entire business and disband the army.
Neither did he wait to see the men
captured at Fort Donnelson nor at
vicksburg, as he was too busy with
his active campaign.
Brown was not stenographer and
so was obliged to take all Of Grants
orders in abbreviated longhand. This
was easy, he says, as the general used
short pithy sentences and his COM
nunications were never very long.
Brown has some interesting stories
to tell of the newspaper correspond
ents who followed Grant in his cam
paign.
The approach to Vicksburg and the
closing of the great campaign fur
nished some of the most marvellous
incidents in history. In carrying his
army across the Mississippi river
without a base of supplies and putting
lis troops into the enemy's country
between the armies of Johnston and
the forces of Pemberton at Vicks-
burg. Grant did something that
evoked much criticism, says Mr..
Brown.
But, he adds, Grants plans were so
perfectly matured that instead OF at
lacking Vicksburg Immediately, he
frst marched due east and defeated
Johnston. then faced about and de-
feated Pemberton in the bloody bat
tie of Champions Hill, Pemberton hay
ing been drawn out of his intrench-
nents at vicksburg into the open
field.
Had it not been for the disobedience
of orders by Gen. McClernand, private
Brown asserts, the siege Of Vicksburg
need never have been fought. Grant
bad so arranged matters that Penn
berton was entirely cut off from Vicks-
burg. McClernand was ordered to
place two divisions of his corps in the
rear Of Pemberton and he neglected
to do so, for which he was relieved
OF his command by Grant, who or
dered him home, although he was ap-
pointed by Lincoln.

Is MARRIAGE a Disease?

Sometimes it seems as though the
anti-divorce enthusiasts were not as
scientific in their methods as they
should be. The great, Astounding cause
Of divorce is, of course, marriage, and
marriage, therefore lis the thing to in
vestigate. First, then, is marriage a
germ disease? We have considered
this question long time, getting no
further with it, but the scientific in
vestigators will be able to tell us.
And if it is germ disease, they can
catch the germ, and the germ once
caught, they can get cultures and
compose antitoxins which will strip
this common and serious complaint OF
most of its terrors. And, of course
once we get marriage under control
we shall be in a position to regulate
divorce with a precision absolutely
scientific, if there is any divorce left
to regulate.-Harper's Weekly.
