A Description of the Marker.
The marker is block of gray gran
ite brought from Dummerston, and
weighing about 20 tons. 1t is eight and
one.half feet high, six feet wide and
three and one-half feet thick. Its wide
faces are toward the north and south.
On the northern side are two bronze
tablets bearing the images of two sol
diers. Beneath one is the inscription,
s.Mustered in and on the other,

have looked starting for the front. The
other represents the same soldier,

wounds and other disabilities which
rendered them unfit for further service
in the field, of which number we have
no authentic record.
In March, 1868, the United States au'
thorities, after due examination and in.
yestigation with reference to the nat.
ural healthfulness of our climate and
the purity of the water that flowed
from our mountain springs, caused to be
established and erected upon these
grounds a general hospital which was
thoroughly oflicered and equipped for
the treatment of the sick and wounded.
As originally constructed II would cas-
ily accommodate 600 men. In the sum.
mer of 1864, following the advance Of
our army under General Grant toward
Richmond, there were sent here sick
and wounded soldiers so that at one
time there were l,l00 patients under
treatment. This enormous overflow,
beyond the capacity of the hospital
proper, were cared for under large
tents constructed for hospital purposes,
At one time. soldiers of every loyal
state in the union were inmates of this

to the credit of Vermont, thus giving
us total of 35,2i2 men standing to
our credit, and leaving us with a sur
plus of over $500 more men than the
quota of troops we were required to
furnish.
The first Vermont soldiers TO occupy
these grounds was the first regiment,
who were enlisted for three months un.
der the first call of the president, and
were mustered in at Rutland May ),
1861, arriving here on their return
home August I, 1861, and were mus
tered out on the 10Th and 10th of the
same month. The next regiment en-
camped here was the fourth which was
mustered into service September 20,
1861, and started for Washington the
next day. This regiment was attached
to the "old brigade" and was engaged
in 80 battles. II lost during its term
of service l23 men, killed in action or
died of wounds and disease. The next

Vermont was the only state in when
the draft was not used to procure sol

BECKHAM FLOUNDERED.

In our news columns last week we
pointed out few of the things
which, if satisfactorily explained by
Governor Beckham in his speech
here last Friday, would add mater
tally to his strength, in the county,
in his race for United States Sena-
tor. The Governor only touched
upon one of the topics we enumerat-
ed and it would, we think, have been
better for him had he treated that
one in the same manner that he did
the others, with silence.
This is the way we suggested the
topic which the Governor discuss
ed"
THE Governor might clear up his
befogged temperance horizon by ex-
planning why he waited until he be-
came an active candidate for the
nomination he is now seeking before
he attempted to close up the saloons
and theaters in Louisville on Sun
day, when he has been Governor six
years and had as much authority to
act during that entire time as he
now has,"

VAIN OF THEIR PETTicoATs.
Garments Most Priced Possession Of
Indian Women.

The priced possession of the Boil
Wan Indian woman and her chief
pride also. whether she is pure In
dian or chola, is her petticoat. Her
dowry is in this garment. Like the
Dutch woman of tradition. she car
ries her wealth about with her.
These petticoats are of all colors of
the rainbow and divers other hucs
not found therein. | first noticed
them at Nazarcnc. and remarked the
love of color, which must be Unborn,
for the garments were of yellow,
purple. violet, fiery red. crimson
scarlet, subdued orange, glaring SAT-
from. blue and green. They were
very short, reaching barely below the
knee, and no difference was observed
between childhood. maidenhood. ma
tronly middle life and wrinkled old
age. CHANGING from my window in

Of FORMULATING balloons.
These women have a habit which
the bashful traveller does not at first
understand. When he sees one of
Them calmly removing a petticoat
he is apt to turn away, but he need
not do so. 1t may be that the adj
vancing heat of the day has caused
the wcarcr to discard the outer skirt.
but more likely it is the vanity of
her sex, and the desire to make her
sisters envious by showing what is
beneath, for each new vesture dis
closed is more brilliant than the one
which ovcrlapped it. | sat in the
plaza at Tupiza and watched two In
dian women try to make each other
envious. The first one removed the
outer petticoat, which was of pur-
pie. This Investment disclosed an
other garment of blazing red, and
after that came brilliant yellow.
The other woman started with a
green petticoat, and gradually got
down to Il mixture Of blue and vel
low. BY thai time had begun to
fear for the consequences, and made
a pretense of turning my back by

the sale of liquors, shall be fined not

it is a plain proposition that if

LEADING TO PROPERTY QUAIL
IFICATiON.

The idea, advanced by both Gov.
Beckham and Judge Glenn in their
speeches here last Friday, that there
is more wedlth and learning in the
Democratic party in Kentucky and
therefore it should goUern, should
be resented by every poor man in
Ohio county. Granting this to be
true. and we do not believe word
of it, that there are more wealthy
and more intelligent Democrats in
Kentucky than Republicans, the con-
tention of the Democrats is, and
has been for years, that wealth
should not govern. Under this idea,
if these gentlemen lived in Pennsyl
vania, Massachusetts or Ohio, they
would be compelled to vote with the
Republicans.
This doctrine naturally leads up
to property qualification for the
voter. From the tenor of argument
advanced by these leaders of the
party, we may expect an attempt to
fasten upon the voters of this State
in the near future, if they are main
tanned in power, law giving to cit
liens only the right to vote, who
may own so many acres of land,
horses. cows, mules or taU books.
After all we have heard from
Democratic speakers, and read in
their papers attacking the wealthy,
and charging the Republicans with
favoritism toward the wealth of this
country, it does sound strange to
hear their speakers pleading for con-
tinuance in power in Kentucky on
the ground that they possess more
money than the Republicans. We
cannot account for this, unless they
have learned it from their million
aire candidate for Governor of New
York.

it would be passing strange, if the
people of this country should vote a

most deplorable condition in 1897,

Legislation ever put upon the
statutes, has been placed there by
the Republicans. An honest effort
to curb the trusts has been and is
being made. In the light of all this,
you are seriously asked to vote
against the Republican party, and
in the interests of a party which
never enacted a single antitrust
law in it's entire existence, and has
never even proposed one.
