Brilliant Affair.

Brilliant Affair.
Washington, Jan. 3. = President and
Mrs. Roosevelt's New Years reception

their wives deserted the president in

homes.

proportion of negroes in the line was
smaller than in previous years.

Der of children in line and all We're
greeted heartily by the president. One
of the most amusing figures in the
line was a ten-year-old boy, with soiled
hands and clothes, who carried pair
of roller skates thrown over his Shout
der. The president laughed heartily
as he wished the little fellow happy
New Year.
A pretty little girl carried a great
white Teddy bear past the receiving
party and provoked a hearty laugh
from the crowd gathered in the blue
room.

breastworks
At different points where it was be
lieved that the enemy would attempt to
land these Notifications were con.
structed and behind them the natives
remained in hiding, ready TO give up
their lives in defense of their homes.
Only one is left and that is on Nau.
shon island, near Tarpaulin cove.
This old breastwork is in a remarka.
bic state of preservation.
II is said that one of the British
ships had intended to land a crew on
Naushon for. the purpose of obtaining
a supply of fresh meat. the island at
that time being stocked with sheep
and cattle. In order to divert the at.

lieved would cause the Falmouthtes
to return to their homes. But none Of
the small company left the breast
works. The attempt to land was
abandoned.
That many salormen. when in port
at Tarpaulin cove, nave visited the
old breastwork is evidenced by the
names that have been carved on the
trees that are now growing in the vi
cinity.
Residents Of Naushon say that a few
years ago there were traces of other
breastworks north of Tarpaulin cove
and also at the French watering place,
so-called, south of Tarpaulin cove.
Time has obliterated them, however,
and the one shown In the illustration
is the only one on the island that
shows the nature or the Notifications
behind which the men of nearly loo
years ago took their stand. determined
TO defend with their lives any attack
made by the hostile British.
Nearly all the volunteers who threw
up the Notifications on Naushon island
were residents Of Nalmouth. and in
that town there are number of old
guns, several of which 1t is stated
were mounted on Naushon.

WHEN ULYSSES LED THE VAN.

the bugles play.
And yonder thru the stately pines | see
line OF gray:
Tho the old, old past has vanished,
will nevermore forget
The grand old Union legions. an, me
thinks ! see them vet
With their banners waving proudly and
the beaming southern sun
Alight upon the eager blade and on the
polished gun:
What memories steal back from where
rolls on the Rapidan,
When we took the trail for Richmond
and Ulysses led the vanl
Where are the gallant thousands who
went surging thru the pines?
Some sleep to-day beneath the grass that
hide our battle lines;
And our cannon sCcm 10 echo In the
deadly thckets where
We met the gray-clad tiger In his dark
and gloomy lair;
But we never stopt a moment where
the foe was to be met
With rain OF leaden missiles and the
eager bayonet;
We plunged into the Wilderness and
met them man TO man,
And our battle cry was Forward Tor
Ulysses led the van.
With him to lead us onward not bugle
blew retreat;
We left our gallant comrades where the
pines and cedars meet.
Our campfires lit the darkness where
Nirglnia's woods are spread,
And the stars that gemmed our banner
scintillated overhead;
On 10 terrible Cold Harbor, on to Peters
burg so grim.
Prest the phalanXes OF Freedom thru
the shadows cold and dim.
We knew we had a leader who soldier
was and man.
And victory journeyed with us for Ulysse
led the van.
To-day l see the old blue blouse. the
old slouched hat he wore;
l see that grim yet kindly face Wen see
on earth no more;
And when he rode adown the lines, so
silent, cool and GRIM
The boys who bore the muskets would
have freely died for him;
We knew that where he led us he was
not afraid 10 go:
Our leaders face was ever turned to-
ward the sulen foe
We never tried to question him nor
sought To know his plan.
Nor for moment doubted when Ulysses
led the van.
IL was down at AppomattoX where our
flags at last were furl'd,
And the old Potomac army stood the
| pride of all the world
And our grim and silent captain said
unto the boys i'm graz:
| Take your horses for the blowing; you
will need them all some day"
We eager shared our rations with the
men we'd often met
Deep i'm the haunted Wilderness with
blade and bayonet;
| And again we turned our faces toward
the rushing Rapidan.
| Where with mighty army brave Ulysses
led the van.
Our ranks are growing thinner and the
roses soon will blow
Above the last brave boy in blue who
| met the eager foe;
| One by one the old commanders whom
we dearly love To name
Have camped beyond the river on the
camping grounds Of fame.
| May we meet in that bright country
where earth's sorrows find surcease,
| In a holy rest eternal and upon the plains
of peace.
| And as comrades. tho TRANSPORTED. may
we march there mFn to man
AS we marched beneath our banner when
Ulysses led the van.

Sixty-fifth New York regiment. who
was in that engagement, quotes an
other version of the incident from his
diary written at the time. He says:
"Oct. 25, started from Martinsburg
with large train with many paymas-
tiers and money in ambulances TO pay
off troops. While resting near Bunker
hill for dinner. Mosby attacked us
with a large force of cavalry, some
100. The men were soon in line, the
One Hundred and Thirty-third to the
light of the road. the One Hundred
and Sixty-fifth to the left. and then
ordered to deploy as skirmishers on
double quick The movement was
quickly made In the meantime Col.
Currie had massed the train In close
order and as soon as deployed the
order Forward, March, was given.
The men sprung to the work, lively
firing commenced; soon two pieces or
artillery passed quickly to the front
and numbered, sending shot into
Mosby's cavalry. This the enemy did
in a piece Of timber. 1t seems from
what we learned afterwards that they
knew a large amount of money, in
charge of six paymasters, was going
to the front in this train to pay off
the army. Mosby expected to capture
il, but did not count on our having
a reconstructed battery along. We
did not know Ii ourselves, and its APP
pearance was a surprise to us as well.
Mosby's men did make dash down
the road and captured some men in
the advance. Col. Currie handled
everything well. Arrived at Winches-
ter late at night"
In answer to letter written by Mr.
Welch to Mr.. Munson calling his at
tention to this fact, the latter replied:
81 remember the affair of October
25, GA. very well. for we captured
Gen. Duffie that day in sight of your
men. When we attacked your cavalry
guard they fell back on your infantry,
and | suppose Currie had orders to
protect that money or die in the at
tempt, for he stuck To the wagons
and drove us off. You were too much
for us. If we had known there were
greenbacks in the train | don't know
but what the boys might have put up
better fight. for they used to take
all sorts of risks for suffers trains
or greenbacks. | remember as well as
IL It were yesterday my feelings when
your first shell came bursting near
us. knew then we were up against
hard proposition, and was afraid
you would recapture General Duffie.
When we first saw his wagon we
thought II was a sutler and chased
him almost into your lines. There
are fun reports of IL all in the war
Records. w. Munson."
So we see how the accounts of
the civil war are still being amended
and corrected, and that as long as
there remains an old veteran to talk
there will be new light thrown upon
the incidents of the great struggle.

THE PAYMAsTER's TRAIN.
Mosby's Gueriiias Were Driven on
After a Hard Fight.

There are almost as many versions
of battle as there are soldiers en-
gagged in the conflict. Each sees from
different angle: each encounters
different dangers and experiences;
each is able to add some detail which
goes to make up the complete story
of the conflict. How true this was
of the civil war. and how through
the years since then stories have
been told and the discussion OF the
details of different battles has con-
tinued.

Mosby's raiders. told in Munsey's
