RELIC or .'ERY DAYS.
The Key to John Browns Cell IL
Charlestown Jail Owned by
New York Man.

Curious things are coming to light
every day. Among many interesting
relics OF the civil war is a huge iron
key more than a foot long, which
turned in the lock and made old John
Brown prisoner in Carlestown jail at
the time of his great raid in Virginia
and call for the negroes to rise and
fight Tor freedom.
This key is now in the hands of DR..
Alfred B. Tucker, of New York, and it
played a vital part in the history of
events leading up, to the civil war.
When Gen. Mcclellan marched
through Charlestown after the battle
of Antietam his troops burned the his
toric old jail, whence John Brown
went to the gallows. Later, when the
ashes cooled and boys began joking
among the ruins, the quaint key was
found almost unframed, the fire hav-
ing only twisted the handle a little,
which was easily restored to its prop
er shape.
In this connection it may be inter-
esting to state a few facts about John
Brown that are not generally known.
After his career in Kansas, where he
received the name of 'Osawatomie
Brown the old revolutionist, with a
fervor amounting to what he cOnsid-
cred religion, resolved to begin work
in a practical way of freeing the
slaves.
He went about his task deliberately
and with quiet preparation. To the
negroes he was known as Capt
Brown He began his campaign by

settling in Charlestown, Va, now West
Virginia, and not far from Harper's
Ferry. He opened a shop, over which
hung the sign, y. Brown, Watch
maker" Here he Ostensibly pursued
his calling like other business men of
the pla ce, only he spent his spare time
in visiting the various negro quarters
of the town and neighbOrhOOd urging
them to organise and strike for free
dom. 1t seemed a hopeless task, not
only absurd, but it was against the
laws of the country.
From Browns standpoint, however,
both he and his friends considered the
movement a complete success, for it
reused the country, brought on contro-
versy, followed by the election of
Abraham Lincoln, the seeding of the
southern states, and finally the great
est civil war ever known, with the
emancipation of 100000 of slaves.
Charlestown is situated on the main
road, the grand highway running from
Harper's Ferry down the valley of the
Shenandoah to Winchester and other
points in that glorious valley. A more
beautiful part of the country is not to
be found. The soil is extraordinarily
fertile, the climate like that of Italy
the landscapes as rolling and wooded
as the finest part of England, while
lovely blue mountains stretch away on
either side of the valley.
The people are most hospitable, and
it is here, in a region of enchantmeRt
almost, that the old Washington man
sions were erected, and for years were
the scenes of festivities and peaceful
happy life. Here the best families OF
! Europe, and even members of royalty
| came on their visits to the colonies be-
| fore the revolution.

SCENES OF SUFFERING.
Some Personal "Reminiscences of the
Days in the Hospitals at
Fredericksburg.

Grant was battering away at the
cOntederates, and the wounGei and
sick from the Wilderness and Spot
tsylvania were taken mo the city,
churches, public buildings and prI-
vate houses being convicted into tenn
porary hospitals, and many a poor
fellow after leaving the dissecting
table gave up his lie and answered the
reveilie in different country, relates
the correspondent OF the American
Tribune. Reenforoements, many of
them raw troops with gay uniforms,
occasionally PASSED through the city
singing Glory, Hallelujah," and Bat
tie Cry of Freedom, and many soon
returned singing quite another song,
wounded and sick Old men, young
men, and even boys were stretched
upon the naked floors, simply a
blanket for a mattress and a kaapsack
for a pillow, some with legs OF, arms
and hands amputated, others with bull
lets III their bodies and many sick.
Early in the morning, after being
Invested of their money and watches,
the dead We're taken out, placed in
rows, pinned in blankets, with a slip
of paper attached giving the name and
regiment and soon removed by the
some cemetery and there inferred, a
pine slab in pencil giving name, ETC.,
and there left alone in their glory,
martyrs to liberty and union.
One little drummer boy, wounded
in three places, lay in the basement
of one of the churches in a hastily
constructed cot, one leg held firmly
to a pest, tenderly cared for by an
who would sit by his side for hours
and watch over him, giving a MOTH
er's care. Late one evening, during
her absence, he was taken again to
the dissecting room, operated upon,
and in a few moments passed away,
never more in earth life to beat the
long roll, for taps were beaten and
his life extinguished.
Where's my boy?" cried the good
lady, in the morning, when she saw
the vacant cot, and then burst into
tears.
An artillery officer belonging to the
Eleventh Massachusetts, battery, with
brain crazed, imagined himself on the
march, and kept crying to his horses
until halt was made, and he, too,
passed away, leaving widowed
mother somewhere among the hills
of New Hampshire.
A Young lady attached, 1 suppose,
to the sanitary commission, visited
us often, and after distributing a bas-
ket of delicacies to the soldiers would
pause by the door and sing patriotic
| airs amid d deadly 81 elce, recalling
to our minds our dear mothers and
sisters at home. That young lady
saw some time afterward at the front
apparently uDconcerned, amid the fly
ing bullets, but who she was 1 know
not.
Members OF the Christian commits
| sion, seeing the APPROACH of death
would kneel by the side of the de-
parting soldier, utter an audible
prayer, and give all possible consola-
ton There were const~nt arrivals
all were fastening on to Washington
for Grant and his army were march
ing and Fredericksburg was soon va
Gated.

The Fascination of the Harvest.

The Fascination of the Harvest
Thrust in thy sickle and reap; for
the time is come for thee to reap;
for the harvest of the earth is ripe
There is a fascination in the harvest
that weaves a wisp of romance into
the sheaves that are bound up these
long, sun-fiooded days, where the
harvest of the earth is ripe. 1t is not
alone selfish rejoicing in the knowl-
edge that a generous yield means an
absence of want that awakens the uni
versa1 interest in the sturdy army now
marching against the battaliOns OF
bearded grain and will move north
ward gradually as the harvest OF the
earth ripens in regions where the sun
shines less ardently. There is some
thing Unborn in even the most urban
of men that causes him to feel thrill
of joy at the sight of great wheat
field waiting for the sickle. 1t is not
alone the hope of profit that causes
the student to hasten from his books
and the man to drop his accustomed
vocation to join the busy toilers in
the fields. Many of those who arise
with the earliest lark and labor until
the long shadows are lost in the dusk
are not in pressing need of the wages
they receive. They could find more
profitable employment in less arduous
work. There is some other cause that
sends them among strangers for sea-
son. There is a call of the harvest,
says the Kansas City Star, as there
is a call of the wild. The call Of
the harvest was learned in the days
when Ruth, the Moabitess, bound up
the heart of Boaz in the sheaves she
cleaned in the fields of the mighty
man of the family of Elimelech. The
vivid imaginations of those early
cleaners saw cause for wonder and
speculation in the annually recurring
miracle of the harvest. 1t is this lin
gering fascination that draws men to
the wheat fields even in this utili-
tartan age.

The international woman's congress,
sitting in Paris, recently witnessed
ludicrous scene. The ladies were in
solemn conclave when suddenly there
appeared a pair of trousers on the
scene. For a moment the ladies were
too perturbed to identify the spectre,
but after a moment of benumbing ST.
lence, the president rallied, and in an
icy tone identified it is "a man."
Then the apparition relieved the ten
sion by explaining that it was the
mortal presence of NJ. Legendre, of
Sens, an ardent feminist. 81 stood"
he said, "as feminist candidate at
the last elections, and I have to-day
taken IL trains to appear among you.
1 am happy to enjoy this opportunity
of supporting your cause" Alas for
enthusiasm when it is of the male per-
suasion and relates to matters femi-
nine. The president rose. and, accord
ing to the London Globe, after ex-
planning to NJ. Legendre, in tones of
cold, calm severity, that the taking of
IL trains at a stretch did not confer
the right of entry to that assemblage
had him expelled.

Exit the Khaki.

If Gen. Humphreys recommends
lions are adopted the khaki uniform
will soon disappear. The American
soldiery will not return to the dark
blue of civil war times, but will take
up the olive-drab service uniform,
lined for winter and unlined for sum-
mer. The khaki will be retained only
for troops serving at oversee stations.
The trouble, says the Des Moines Reg
lister, is not so much in the color of
the cloth as in the apparent inability
of the manufacturers supplying the
government to keep up with the de-
mand. Gen. Humphrey claims that
the supply of gray cotton goods in
this country is now practically the
monopoly of one corporation located
in Baltimore, where selling agents
hold and control the secret of khaki
dyeing. Neither of these concerns.
according to statements made in the
QuartermaSter's department of the war
department, has materially advanced
the price of khaki cloth or duck over
that of former years, but for some
reasons, which are not known at the
war department, the contractors are
SO far behind in two of their con-
tracts for khaki cloth that the gov
eminent contractors for the manufac-
ture of khaki coats and trousers, Gen.
Humphrey says, cannot obtain the ma
terial called for by contracts This
has entailed much inconvenience to
the army and organized militia. Gen.
Humphrey says that any first-class
cloth mill can produce olive drab,
which is entirely the result of blend
ing colors, while the khaki dye is
piece dyeing and a secret process, so
far as obtaining a fast color.
