FACTS AND COMMENT
(By Retired Capitalist)
Ages of Union Soldiers.
LOCAL AND GENERAL.

Somebody has canvassed the in.
mates Of the Soldiers Home al
Quincy, H.. and finds their average
age sixtNnine years. From this he
argues that many of the Union sol
diers We're very young when they en-
listed; but he commences fi6liring
by supposing they all enlisted at the
outbreak of the war, In 1861. The
first call for volunteers was for only
10000 and those for only three
months service. The government
seemed to have acted on the tneory
that the south was only putting up
bluff and would subside upon a
show of resistance.
In the first two years of the war
the volunteers were mostly above
twenty-one years of age. Some as
young a. eighteen. OF sturdy build.
were enlisted with the consent OF
their parents or guardians. In the
iaSt WV yNuio vi tnC NaI UlUSL vi
these young fellows were taken into
the army, either as volunteers or as
substitutes for drafted men. MANY of
them being Of the latter class as they
obtained big money in which their
parents were interested
A correct canvass would probably
show that large majority of the
Union soldiers living entered the
service in the last two years Of the
war. The pension list consists very
largely of the widows of soldiers.
The southern negroes in the army
were not volunteers, but We're press
ed into the service. They were taken
on their physical appearance and
condition after medical examination.
irrespective of age II not too old, for
few Of them knew how old they
were.
OF the white troops, it woul,i be
found that nearly all those living and
under seventy-years Of age entered
the service in the last two years OF
the war, II d correct canvass OF them
was made.

Among these dances are the Russian
comarinskaias, the Hungarian czardas. the
Bohemian romarnas. the German handlers,
the Italian tarantellas, Irish and Scotch
jiRs and reels, the English morris dances,
the Swedish carrousels and several utili-
tartan dances showing the Industries Of the
Scandinavian races artlstically suggested
by gesture and body movements. one OF
the most interesting dances seen at public
school Ia is the reap the lax dance,
which shows how the flax is planted,
grows, is cut down, stacked. hacked,
corded and finally twisted into a single
thread, representing which the forty girls
form a line passing to and fro, as II ready
to be wound on an invisible shuttle. Ac-
~companying this are the folk songs OF
reaping, of linen and cotton weaving.
The castanents OF the tarantells, used
by the peasants In this dance are TO rep
resent the rattle OF the serpent, from the
poison of which the victim is supposed
to die, the real tarantella showing the
death agonies. Denoted by the smiling
faces and supple bodies of the children 1t
takes on a different Interpretation and In
place Of the traditional castanets little
snappers bought at the corner shops
furnish a very good substitute. In con-
trast TO this is the Hungarian czardas,
with its staccato emphasis by the feet
and it's strenuous turns, and a dance of
the Bavarian Alps, chiefly remarkable for
the high quick jumps into the air, the
Jumper held by the waist of the partner.

and lightness rather than strength, while
it gives the appearance to the lookeron
