EIGHTH VERMONT INFANTRY.

Veterans Of the Eighth Vermont
infantry made up in enthusiasm what
they lacked in numbers when they met
in the council committee room in the
courthouse. Only eleven members of

the meeting was one Of the most sue
cessful of the latter gatherings of the
Vermont regiment.
Organized under Colonel Steven
Thomas in 1861 the Eighth Vermont
participated in the campaign at Bayou
Lefourche and the siege of Fort Hud-
son, going from Fort Hudson to New
Orleans. The: regiment was engaged at
Winchester, Fishers Hill, Cedar creek

gagged. =:

Question of Widows Pensions
This auxiliary body has. for several
years taken a deep interest in all the
questions with which the Union Vet
erans' union is concerned. One of the
principal matters to come before the
session this year is the report on the
question of widows pensions. The. Ia
dies are earnestly at work preparing
to bring such pressure to bear upon
congress as will, result in giving the
Of $12 per month At present the
amount varies under conditions which
are purely arbitrary and in many cases
unjust.
Mrs. Ida Bogia Roe of Washington,
D. G., is president of this auxiliary
body, and is presiding over it's deliber-
ations. The other officers are:,
Mary Bears Of Chicago, senior vice
president; Mamie Gross Of Louisville
Springfield, ILL.,, chaplain; Hattie Dunn
o. jersey city, conductress; Mrs. Eu
banks of st. Paul, assistant conduc
tress; Carrie liner of Jefersonville

Wis, inside guard; N ary Whitley o;

No Connection with Grand Army.
The sessions Of both the bodies herr
referred to were held last year a
Springfield. ILL.,, in October. This yea
they came to Minneapolis, at the sam
time with the Grand Army. Of the Re
public, and in this respect they ar
public so as to take advantage of tn
reduced railroad rates. They have nj
connection whatever with the Gran,
Army Of the Republic and in this re
spect they are unique among the va
rious organizations auxiliary to tha
body which are meeting in tn
city at this time. The fact tina
the Union Veterans union dabble
in politics prevents it from fraternizine
, officially or otherwise, with the Gran
Army encampment as such, altho it S
happens this year that several me
have been chosen delegates to bot
bodies. "

The second was under the command Of
Colonel H. A. V. Post.
The Berdan sharpshooters were in
service during the entire war in the
army of the Potomac and were at the
front in about eighty battles. The
Siege of Yorktown, Antietam, Kelly's
Ford, Charlottesville, Fredericksburg,
Gettysburg, Hanover Courthouse, Old
Harbor and Petersburg.
The Berdan regiments were picked
bodies and the reauirements for enlist
ments were strict. The applicant had
to be able to shoot ten successive shots
at 200 yards and have them all within
circle of eight inches. =,
Some of the most unique things about
this regiment was that they wore green
uniforms with black buttons, instead Of
the regular blue. This made them ia
nous, and they were always recognized
by them. They were the first men in
the civil war to use the breach-loading
rifle.
The meeting brought out that the
numbers Of the veterans are fast fall
ing away. Of about 500 letters sent
out to the members Of the association,
almost 200 were returned unopened.
This show that there are many who
have died, altho only about twenty
deaths were recorded.
