An Interesting Civil War incident

There was no draft in Hampton, Conn. August, 1862, there came an order to draft nine men of military age in the town of Hampton for their quo ta for a call from the United States government through the State of Con- necticut.
 A call was issued inviting the young men of the town to meet in the hall of the 'Old Chelsea Hotel" by the sheriff of the county, David Greenslit, who wished some young man would name a sum of money for which he would enlist. In immediate response, Geo. A. Hammond, president of Memorial Day in Putnam, said "I will not enlist for money, but 1 will enlist" When his name was signed to enlistment pa- pers others followed and the next day the full quota was filled. There was no draft III Hampton.
 In explanation of interest to the present generation draft meant iun- less the quota of nine men twas raised the whole number of eligible age would all be subject to draft, and when drawn in legal manner whoever was drawn must be taken from their homes and go forth to gar, and rest assured there were many men who slept better after that, some of whom knew they "couid never stand 1t to go to war"
 Another unique thing this same young man did not equalled we feel assured. Notwithstanding he had served a regular term of enlistment is left him still on the roll of men liable to draft, and intending to enter the silk business he furnished substitute for three years at an expense to him of nearly one thousand dollars.

The white dress parade" is dis
tinctly a foreign idea, CLEANED by Mr..
Williams of FIT. Wayne, with whom
Manager Daley of the park has been
associated with in the park business
for a number Of years.
During one Of his trips to Africa
he witnessed the procession in honor
of the Virgin at Algiers. In that city
is one of the most impressive cathed-
rails of the world, the Notre Dame of
Algiers, which is celebrated for its
image Of the Blessed Virgin, known
as the Black Virgin. The procession
in honor of this Virgin was composed
of a thousand young girls robed in
white with floating silvery wells, and
each carried lighted a candle. The
spectacle made such a vivid impress
ion on the American traveller that he
formed a plan whereby he could use
the idea in his own country.
The idea resulted in the plan for
Girls day, and the white dress pa
rade with American flass instead of
candles in the hands Of the young
participants. The result Of the plan
has given South Bend and Mish-
awake one Of the most impressive and
beautiful festivals Of the year.
