♦hit one could knock off or throw down. It
IwL you a sense of comfort, of ability to
5 ik about if y u wish, to see tne china
* fß iv ref osing in a chiffonier. The room
is one in which you feel at home.
Presently perhaps. th© curtains purt and
there appear tw o figures: one I elow medi
um bight, small but pertectlj proportioned,
slight erect, well-knit and active looking,
with large, expressive blue-gray eyes and a
great plaited coronet of light brown hair,
wbe fresn bealthv complexion and the
simple gray cloth walking-dress go admira
bly with the light step that suggest much
outdoor exercise.
With an arm about the shoulders of this
fl-ure there may be auother, somewhat
taller, younger, with girlish curves and shy,
girlish wavs. You note darker hair than
le.- mother's, drawn loosely back from a
pretty toreh-ad and coiled high. The eyes
quiet', straightforward, with a questioning
]■ ck under tueir curved brows. Tbe hands
are well formed, not small, but supple and
unadorned with rings. A jersey waist,with
a bunch of dewy roses at tbe belt, completes
for you the picture of as freih, fair and rosy
a g rl as ever played tenuis or applauded a
game of cricket, to say nothing of wrestling
in the grappie of intellectual thew and
sinew, m which sheer mental strongth and
staying powers aro the only things that
count to the wranglers.
These are Mrs. Alillicent Garrett Fawcett,
in whose diawing roc m at Cambridge the
first of tbe meetings that resulted in the
founding of Newnham college was held
twenty years ago, and her daughter, Miss
Philips Garrett Fawcett, who was then a
baby in her cradle, and who this summer
has won at the college her mother did so
mu h to establish a signal victory over “the
hard-grained muses of tne cube and square”
ami earned the right to wear the blue rib
bo of the mathematical year at England’s
university of matliematics.
"And how does it feel,” the question
springs involuntarily to the lips in face of
tins young girl, robust like Liana and full
of blushes, ‘ how does it feel to be bracketed
‘above the Senior Wrangier’ ?"
And then she tells you there are no
especial sensations, and she crimsons. She
is glad, a ,and yes, in a way, she is proud to
have succeeded, but she wishes people
would not make so much of it because she is
a girl. The truest compliment will be paid
when a girl's success is recognized as quietly
as a young man’s, with no flourish of
trumpets, as if it were a strange thing to
find some degree of ability in one sex and a
matter of course to find it in the other.
“But people,” you suggest, “have not
been used to looking for mathematics in a
woman.”
And then Mrs. Fawcett smiles and takes
the word. It is a smile that one would g >
far and give much to see. Iler daughter
has been modest about her school successes
a ways, but she has not grown up thinking
tnat because she was a girl there were cer
tain paths in which it was hopeless for her
to enter, crin which she could expect but a
third rate success, suited to a woman. She
inherited her bant for mathematics from
her father, who was seventh wrangler of
his year, and she his been encouraged to
develop her tastes always.
"You do not look,” it is impossible *to
avoid saying, “as is you bad injured your
health by your stu lies.”
And agaiu it is the mother who answers,
ruii.ippa has been well always, and, in
deed, Mrs. Fawcett thinks there has been
mucu cry and little wool in the alarm
rinsed about the education of women’s
mm lat the expense of their bodies. There
"as Miss Ramsey, who, three years ago,
"as the first woman senior classic, ishe
married the master of Trinity College, and

The student who has done the work f ->r
the partial reward tninks that su h a time
will come most certaiuiy, perhaps eve i the
bolding off -Uowsbip and tur, rship: but the
women Lave already the substance of tbe
university honors, ad perhaps they can
aff >ra to wait for the full recogulli >n. The
lack of tbe degree is a little inconvenient
sometimes, as hen a girl appends to her
signature “G. G.,” which the knowing are
left to interpret as “Girton Graduate," and
the uninitiated as “Go and Girl.” “N. G.” is
altogether too equiv Uto be adopted by
the graduate of Newunam.
It is explained that it ts easier for an
American college to give its degrees to
women, because at Cambridge the degree
carries with it the right to v to in the
University Senate, and that means not only
a vo ce in the government of the university
but in the election of parliamentary mem
bers. But tbe women's frie ids at Cam
bridge have always moved with tact and
diplomacy, and one can trust them to know
when tho next forward step ought to bo
taken.
"Your own success must do much toward
removing prejudices.”
“Oh, don’t, please; it was nothing. I had
an excellent coach.”
Oue thinki of Disraeli where he speaks of
merit and modesty and feels obliged t) put
off, pro trm., the asking of pointed ques
tions. Perhaps tha tea comes in at this
juncture. What pretty china! Oao begins
to wonder what can 1 > k nicer on a thirsty
afternoon than a quaint teapot in the hand
of such a bright, rosy girl.
“Did you teach your daughter mathe
matics?” oue ventures to ask of Mrs. Faw
cett, who is rising by this time to keep an
engagement.
No, Mrs. Fawcett had little enough edu
cation, she assures you, in that line. She
had a governess at home over whom she
tyrannized, it was the fashion in those
days to learn Hangnail’s “yuestions” and
other things by heart. She rode with her
four brothers and played games and gar
dened and browsed in the library. She had
very little systematic teaching.
And yet it may be doubted if the influ
ence of heredity is often more strongly
marked than in this sensitive, refined, yet
eager and generous daughter of a mother
who has been her child’s friend and a frie id
of her child’s friends, and who in all har
tweuty years on the platform advocating
woman suffrage—Lord Derby said the other
day in the house of lords that tho bast
political speech ho had ever heird wai
made by a woman, and he meant Mrs.
Fawcett—and in her study writing on politi
cal economy, has found time to be her
daughter’s best adviser and encour.iger,
teaching her common sense and self-reli
ance and a high enthusiasm.
“Miss Clough is the principal of Newham,
is she not ?’ one asks when it appears that
the subject of Cambridge may safely be
approacued again.
“Yes, she is the sister of Arthur Hugn
Clough, the jxt, and it is au education in
itself to be three years with her.” Miss
Fawcett relates how Miss Clough managed
tho campaign when the university was asked
to admit women formally to tho examina
tions. That was nine years ago and before
her time, but Feb. 24 has been kept ever
since as Commemoration day. The Senate
was to vote on the question, and tsrriblo
rumors were afljat us to the immense
number of non-resident members wh >
would dime up to vote against the girls.
On their side the wumeu whipped up every
man they could count on to rotno and vote
for them, for defeat meant almost certainly
tiie total collapse of tho informal system
under which tho girl students had up to
that time been examined. The opposition
went to pieces, the women carrying tho day
398 to 32, and after that they may look
forward to almost any victory.
The girls, Miss Fawcett says, have gained
a very high average of sue cess—her looks
deprecate nny personal reference—and tho
number of residence has increased steadily.
Newnliam, which began with five students,
had over 150 this past ye tr, and the demand
for the university degree could hardly lie
made more modestly and yet more pointedly
than by showing . s tho women do what an
excellent uso they make of what the wise
geuerosity of the university has already
given them.
“You believe, then, that the prospects are
bright for the higher education of women
in Great Bri’ain?”
“Most certainly.”
“And your future work?”
The Lady Wrangler has only just quitted
Newnham; she is going to the continent for
a rest and about what will come after she
is not ready to say.
Miss Fawcett, it may be well to say for
tho benefit of the good Frau in Dusseldorf
pension, who exclaimed on hearing of her
success: “And what is some day to become
of her man?” is an excellent needlewoman
nnd likes fine sewing. I believe she is not
incapable of knitting stocsiugs. She pos
sesses one of the softer virtues of weaknesses
in a great affection for a small dog named
Oddo, which frisks about the room with a
great deal of confidence and freedom.
And as one says good-bye one thinks of
Guido’s picture of "The Lawn,” and find’s
one’s self comparing this girl with the ro
bust and ruddy maidens whom G lido sur
rounds with clouds and roses. Miss Faw
cett is not yet 22. Some day the dawn will
deepen into sunligot, and then on her path
may there lie:—Guido’s roses.

FOUR MILLION DOLLARS BACH.
Poor Indianians, After Years of Litiga
tion, Strike a Bonanza.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Lawrenceburg, Ind.. Aug. 3. —It is not
often that one who has worked for all his
life on a farm comes into possession of
$4,000,000 in a day, and yet such an event is
soon to happen to a family living at Sun
man iu this state. In 1770 Mary Bentley of
New York city, leased a tract of land there
to the government for ninety-nine years.
The land was on the outskirts of tho city,
but as years rolled by and the city began its
marvelous growth the tract was surrounded
by colossal palaces of trade and mansions.
The government seeing a chance to pofit,
sub-lea*ed the ground to many different
persons, and it has bejn built on aud un
proved, and lying in the heart of the city,
its immense value can easily be understood,
ln 1875 the lease expired, and no oue ap
pearing to cl im the property, a legal fight
of immense proportions was begun between
the sub-leasers and the government; promi
nent among the former were the he.rs of the
oldor Cornelias Vanderbilt.
The government was successful and
gained possession of the property, and at
the same time the heirs of the original ie sor
began to asseri their rights, and after
another legal battle they were sustained
and the property held for them. Aftor
years of hunting for the unknown heirs
they have all been found, aud the property
ordered sold aud She money distributed.
The Boldrey family, of Suuman, of whom
there are five, are among these heirs, Mary
Bentley being their great-grandmother,
and they have been notified by their at
torney in New York city that the di-tribu
tion will soon be made and that their share
will be $4,000,009 apiece. They are all good,
honest, hard-working citizens.

CHILDREN AND THEIR BTOBXEB.
How tbe Little Ones Who Have V.Tld
m rginatiocs should be Dealt With.
By the Sea, Aug. o.—Some of the best
sermons ever preacned, some of the most
salutary lessons ever given to the world,
have bad for their l>esis a misconception of
ideas or expressions of others. This fact
alone ought to be sufficient to reconcile the
thoughtful and would-be logical to tl.o
freque cy of so-called mista ,es. A re
markable instance of such miscon
ception is furnished by the Augusta
Civonicle of July 2->, in the admir
able communication of “A Georgia
Matron." This earnest woman has for her
text wh it she bouesily conceivt dto be my
feeling and my b lief as expressed by
me in an u. tide on childrens’ lies.
Now, it would have been impossible for
this conscientious and intelligent writer to
have more thoroughly inisapm ehended mv
views and my spuit if she liad deliberately
planned to do 'o. But out of this miscon
ception has sprung some valuable thought
winch otherwise would not have material
ized, aud because this is so, bocauso I am
anxious that the world should have all tho
light that c in possibly be thrown upon it, I
am glad of the mistake, and not very much
disturbed hy the personal criticism. To be
g ad of a mistake will perhaps lie condemned
as unorthodox, but, as our most orecious les
sons are learned by mistakes, is it not b.-tt r
to be logical than orthodox ?
I should be glad if I could spare the time
and be allowed tho space to take up the
paper of my friend point by point. But, as
this is impossibl ?, I can only doth; next
best thing, and try to correct the false im
pression.
In the first place my article did not at
tempt to deal with lies or the effect of lies.
It was an answer to various communica
tions from anxious mothers, whose babies,
frt in the talking age to that of 5 or 6 years,
seemed to delight iu telling big
stories. My conviction, based upon
a long and varied experience,
was that these mothers were
unneeessurily disturbed. The imaginations
of children of this age are generally, as we
all know, very active. The world is a
great place to theril. In fact everything
seems so remendous, so startling, so won
derful, that their accounts of things must
be made to fit ihe feeling. Of course there
are some children who are born negative
aud commonplace, and grow up to be
neither one thing nor another. The grass
is green, the sky blue, tho flowers of various
colors, but " hat of it? Such children are
easier to deal with than the child who
reports a hundred roses on a tree when
there are but six, and talks about the
fairi<*s be has seen springing out of the
hollyhocks, and the Indians concealed be
hind the barn door. But you may give me
the imaginative babies, and the others—tho
shadows, the negatives—are quite at the
world’s disp sal. I was dealing with such
liars and lies, and trying to show the
anxious mothers of imaginative little ones
that their children are not in mortal danger,
since such exaggeration from its prevalence
must be a natural endowment, and not the
work of the devil. I have seen punishment
inflicted upon these active-brained little
ones by orthodox, Christian mothers for the
telling of si c i stories that made me
quiver in every neivo with sympathy
for tho darlings, and indignation at ti e
ignorance which prompted such cruelty. I
was present on one painful occasion when a
little girl, 4 years old, came running into
the house with a touching story atxiut a
tiny hunchbacked fairy she had just see i
aud talked with in tho playhouse under the
trees. The ch Id gave the most description
of the dress the fairy wore, and the patch
work quilt made of striped grass and dia
monds that coversi her hump. As she
went on 1 found myself taking mental
notes, with a view of publishing the fiction
which this baby had woven so skillfully.
I had just opened my urrns to take her on
my lao aud question her about this w nder
ful fairy, between my hugs, when to my
horror and surpriso the mother arose, and
seizing the child by -the hand literally
dragged her from the room. I shall never
forge; that baby’s shrieks as the quick
blows descended upon the tender, naked
flesh. This child was whipped at intervals
all that day, and though, as I have stated,
only 4 years old, would not yield oue particle
to the punishment. She had seen and talked
to a hunchbacked fairy, and t :at was the
end of if. Just think, not only
of the awful cruelty of this treatment,
but of its a solute laca of logic and even
rudimentai commnn sense. This Christian
mother had read various fairy stories to
her little one. These stories had all been
accepted as law and gospel. She had as
good a right to imagine a fairy as the adult
author of the tales she was familiar with,
a id how was she to discrlmiuuto between
fact and fiction? The orthodox mother was
guilty of causiug her child t > tell the first
lie, by developing the obstinacy which
caused he.- to stick to it, and this was an
irreparable injury. Far be it from
me to claim my superior wisdom in the
ma agemeut of such case, but my instinct
would Lave boon to have given the
child a lesson on tbe spot
w uch would have started tbe dis
crmiinati g faculties. 1 should have told
her that the writers of fairy stories did not
really see tbe fairies, but becaus > little
girls liked to bear about fairies the-e kind
people tried to please them, and that she
did not see a hunchbacked fairy because
there was no such thing as a fairy. If she
had persbtod in her siorv, I know I could
have made her ashamed of it, and so settled
the matter forever. I should also have
taken pains to have her understand that it
was a very nice thing to be able to imagine
such pretty stories, and that she must tell
them all to me and let me write them for
other little girls, but she must ou no ac
count say that they were true.
It was with such lies as these that I was
dealing, aud not with the lies of older
children, in my much criticised and wholly
misapprehended paper. I wanted to keep
mothers from making liars of their children.
I have seen this accomplished so often by
unwise and cruel measures that I Ihink the
utmost pains should be taken to prevent it.
A sense of injustice will cause a child to lie,
and woe beiido tne parent who plants and
waters the seed of obstinacy in the human
soul.
Several letters have reached me from
mothers since my paper was published ask
ing whut to do with children who, to screen
themselves from punishment, accuse others
of the things they do themselves. One
mother frankly owns that she considers her
self responsible for this state of things b -
cause of her child’s fear of the dark. This
was tho punishment t at change 1 a harm
le s exaggeration into a cowardly filse
hood—cowardly as viewed from an adult
and correct standpoint—but what of the
scared-to-doath, quiveriug o*nl j? Lot us be
careful of our points of view.

Boston, Aug. 9. —The city is wild with
excitement. Not in many a day lias there
been sueu a stir in this town. Too veterans
of the G. A. R. aro coming by every train.
There aro thou-ands of them. They are
coming from all directions and tbe city is
filled with strangers. The national encamp
ment of the G. A. R. opens on Tuesday,
Aug. 12, and an army cf men who wore the
blue, numbering at least 100,100, are ex
pected here. The procession of old soldiers
will afford the most impressive spectacle
of the sort that has been w finessed
in this country siuce the grand
review of the armies of
Grant and Snerman in IVashingt >n at the
close of tho war. Boston is in gala attire.
Although the encampment does not open
until Tuesday, for days previ us the old
fellows began to enter our hospitable gates,
and are now safely encamped iu this city.
Flajs are flying in all directions. Shops,
buildings and private houses are gay with
bunting. Mechanics’ building, where ma iy
of the old soldiers are quartered, Fai.uuil
hall, tho cradle ol’ liberty. Music
Hail, Tremont Temple, Horticultural hall,
the city hall and the state house are all ap
propriately decorated. There are triumph.il
ai ches here and there, and it promises t > fie
one of the greatest meetings ever held by
the old voterans.
It is the grand army’s week, and what a
week I Old fellows who have not met in
many a year will swan stories of the war
days, the band will play the patriotic airs
that stirred these non to heroic action, tho
old flag will float in tho breeze aud tho new
one tviih the forty-four stars will be there
too. The old generals will be there, and there
will be meetings and reunions of tho old
posts. A grand banquet, at which some of
the famous soldiers will speak, and thero will
be toasts drank in silence for heroe3 who
have gone aloft.
In brief, the programmo includes a grand
parade on Tuesday. In tho evening the
grand army und woman’s relief corps is to
have a reception in Mechanics’ hall. On
Wednesday tho meeting of the national
encampment in Music hall, also a meeting
of the woman’s relief corps, anil in the
evening a grand army camp-fire in
Mechanics’ hall. Thursday, continued
sessions of the national encampment
and in the evening a grand ! anquet. On
Friday there will bo an excursion to Piy
uiou h and a clam bake that will boa
revelation to most of the delegates. On
Saturday a steamboat excursion along the
northern shore to Cape Ann, passing
Nahant,Salem and Marblehead t i Thatcher’s
Isie, with a fish dinner o t tha boat. A re
union of many veterans will alsi be field,
and reunions of many othor organiz itious
at such Limes os may be agreed upon.
Of the distinguished mon and women who
will be present, Resident Harrison and his
cabinet, of course, will rank first. It is not
quite certain that the President will be here
during the entire week, but it is his inten
tion to be here on tho day of tha great
parade. He will be the guest of tbe state,
and upou his arrival will be escorted from
the station to the Hotel Vendome by two
troops of cavalry. He will review the pro
cessiou from one of the grand stands. There
will be other men here, however, who will
dwarf oven the President in the es
timation of tha veterans. Griz
zled old Gen. Sherman in tho
sunset of life says he would not rais3 it. He
will und mbtedly ba the hero of the week.
Gen. Sickles, Gen. Algor, Geu. Slocum,
Geu. Devens, Gen. Butterfield, Gen. Double
day, Geu. Wood, Gen. Cogswell, Gen. Corse
and others not so well known. Besides
these, ex-Gov. Foraker of Ohio, Gov. Hovey
of Indiana, Gov. Fifor of Illinois, Gov.
Bulleley, Senator Ing ilLs, Corporal Tanner
and scores of other men, bright stars in the
galaxy of the G. A. It. firmament.
There will be some famous women pres
ent, too, many of them to attend the na
tional encampment of tho Women’s Relief
Corps, who will attract attention. Mrs.
Harrison has promised to lie present, and so
have Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Sheridan, Mrs. Lo
gan, Mrs. Hancock, Mrs. Algor,and last, but
not least, Miss Clara Barton, tne president
of the Red Cross Society.
N. t in many years have so many dis
tinguished men and women, so identified
with the late unpleasantness, been brought
together, and the people of Boston intend
to mako the event one long to be remem
bered. While the distinguished visitors
will be largely the guests of the state or
city, there will be ma iy private entertain
ments given in their hono -.
Interest centers, of course, in tho great
parade and the banquet. It is hoped to get
190,090 veterans in line, preparatory to the
command “Forward, march,” which Gen.
Alger will give about 10 o’clock in the
morning. The line of march will be up
Commonwealth avenue, aud the depart
ments will fall in in tho order of then
seniority with the exception that the
department of Massachusetts, which is
the receiving department, will take
the left of the procession, according to a
custom of the G. A. R. The 15,000 veterans
of the Bay state will be massed on Boston
common. Geh. Alger, with a staff of 000
men, will review tbe procession. All the
notable men and women that I have men
tioned above will have soats of honor upon
the grand stand. The march will commence
through the Back Bay streets, Westchester
I ark aud down Washington street to Adams
square. F rty-three departments will be
represented in this order:
Washington, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
New York, Connecticut, Maine, New Jer
sey, Virginia, California, Rhode Island,
New Hampshire, Verm >nt, Potomac, Colo
rado and Wyoming, Maryland, Nebraska,
Michigan, lowa, Indiana, Kansas, Minne
sota, Delaware. Missouri, Oregon, Ken
tucky, West Virginia, Washington and
Alaska, Arkansas, New Mexico, Utah, Ten
nessee, Louisiana and Mississippi, Florida,
Montana, Texas, Idaho, Ariz 11a, Georgia,
Alabama, North Dakota, South Dakota
and Massachusetts.
Following these will come the naval or-.!
ganizatious of the country, regimental and
other organizations, with the Sons of
Veterans ou tho left. The naval veterans
will probably be o 10 of the most interesting
feature* of the giea; lioit. It is thought
that about 4.000 of tho old tars will parade.
The city has taken on a martial aspect.
Eveu the boys in the street aro whistling
the old familiar airs and tho whole town has
giv m itself uo to a week of enjoyable cele
bration. Three triumpaal arches have been
erected. The most imposing of these is on
Washington street near Newt ,n. It is
fifty-five feet high and eighty feet
from curb to curb. The
battle scenes represented will
he Pickett’s charge ad Sheridan’s ride.
Tne four panels will represent cavalry, ar
tillery, infantry aid the navy. It would
not ha surprising if tho pulses of the vete
rans should quickon a little as their eyes
light on tho representation of Sheridans
rule and as the hands play stirring war
song-. Another arch on Washington street
w ill bo located near Hanover. The pai t
ings will repro ent tho 8 gnal Corps in the
act of flagging Signals and Grant recunnoi
terii g o i ihe No.tu Anna, w.tu Hnermin’s
march to tho sea aid a scene ronre eating
peace wito t e armv at r-st, a id a scroll
inuring then.i wuril-i “Welcome, Grand
Army of tne Republic ”
Tne third arch will bo at the C unnioa
wi.al.U uvouuo entrance to the pub Ic gar
den. The (rout will bo udorjiod with a pic
ture of the Monitor and Merrimac fight,
aud I may say that this arch surpasses in
architectural beauty, magnificence of pro
portion nnd artistic treatment anything of
a I'imilnr nature ever shown in this coun
try. There will tie numerous grand stands
and plenty of accommodations for visitors
to see the parade.
lln bir.q iet will be a groa* affair. It is
to be henl in Mechanics’ building. It will
ro" bo so great, perhaps, from a gas
tronomic point of view as other banquets
t:.at have been held in this town, but it wili
n worthed** boa very substantial meal, aud
the spi ii o rs, such as Sherman, Alger,
Tanner, Sickles, Slocum, Foraker and oth
e s may fie depended upon toric ill the Aavs
i d' war and neace with a vividness of descrip
tion that will make the old soldiers forgot,
for the time a. h-a t, their wounds and tin ir
trou lea. Vt tho ineeti: gon Wednesday
Go;:. Alger will deliver his annual address,
lie may not b • a very great orator, but ho
can tie depended upon to hold the at eutio i
of tho soldiers, at and as he is talke i of some
what us a presidential candidate, every
uttorancewiii lie listened to w ith interest.
Olio of tho most interesting features of
tho week w ill be the session in Music hall
of tho Woman’s National Relief Corps.
This splendid auxiliary to the grand army
will represent a membership of 90,000, dis
tribute 1 in all tho suites and territories,
except Alabama, Louisiana aud South
Carolina. Mrs. Logan, Mrs. Sheridan, Mrs.
Harrison, Mias Barton and perhaps Mrs.
Grant may speak. The grand army camp
fire iu Mechanics’ building will bean event
to delight tbe hosrts of tho visitors, for
there will be speaking and smoking
galore and in an adjoining room a bub
bling spring of s mo cooling draught to
slake lho thirst of the old warriors.
The Kansas delegate* nave arranged for
a mammoth camp tire in Music hall. Of
c urse the principal speaker will be Senator
Ingalls, and Marshall’s celebrated band of
fifty pieces will render patriutic selections,
ii.galls has always been a favorite of the G.
A. R. mon.
The eighteenth annual convention of the
Annual Association of Union ex-Prisoners
of War will bo hold in iho hall of the House
of Representatives at the state house. It
will probably be the largest meeting of tho
kind yet held.
It would bo impossible to givo a pro
gramme of the various reunions of regi
mental and other association*, so many ure
ti be held. It may be said that every
hour will be utilized to good purpose, aid
before the excursion tho real work of the
convention will havo been accomplished.
Committees have beon formed to provide
for all necessary contingencies.
One feature of the meeting is tho hospital
department, in charge of Maj. Otis 8.
Marion. Tlio Emergency hospital, fully
equipped with 100 beds, will bo open day
and night during tho encampment for the
exclusive uso of the veterans. Thore will
ho in requisition two other hospitals for mo
in case of any emergency, together with ten
ambulances. A large corps of physicians
have volunteered their service* in caring for
tho sick ami injured, if such there should
be during the week. On the day of the
great parade there will be established along
the lino of march numerous emergency sta
tions, designated by the red cross flags, iu
direct communication bv telephone with
the various hospitals and ambulance sta
tions.
At each station there will be a member of
the ambulance corps and a policeman,
equipped with a stretcher, bandages, splints,
water, and restoratives, to moot tho needs
o any one siek or injured, till an ambulance
arrivis. Ou overy official excursion going
out of Boston during the week, tiiere w ill be
in attendance surgeons with a squad from
the ambulance c.,rps. All halls and hotels
where veterans are quartered will ho con
nected by telephone with the various hos
pitals. so that physicians or ambulance can
be called at any time. The veteran army
surgeons are invit and to visit tho various hos
pitals during the week. There will also be
a reception for them by the physicians mi l
surge ms of Boston.
All the trains running into Boston have
made favorable arrangements so that there
will be a very large number of visitors
from nearly all of tho states in a lditim to
the veterans. Beside* tins a largo sum of
money has been raised to properly enter
tain tbe old heroes, and they are to have a
never-to-be-forgotton week of if, Tho city
will he given over entirely to them.
Once again tho military will be in control,
but it will bean army of peice with its
arms beaten into plough-shares an I pruning
hock-*, a verifleation of Miltcn’s splendid
truth that “Pence has its victories uo less
renowned than war.”
AS GOOD AS GOLD.
Tho Evangelist Recognized the Sig
nature on the Blue Chip.
From (he Louisville Commercial.
In a crowd of a half dozen men standing
in front of a well-known saloon yesterday
was a man known to the fraternity as a
"lucky oue” in the sporting class. He had
in former years raked in manv a jack-pot
in this city, and was one of the few who
became rich by gambling. .Speaking of the
city before gnnlding was broken up, the
man, recently returned, said:
“Lot me tell you a good story of
(you nil know who I tiioau). Woll, for nine
years we were partners. Every trick that
ho turned I was in with, and if i made a
winuing he - hared it. I never could tell
what broke our combination, but one morn
ing after we had counted #909, aftir an all
night play, he said: ‘I have played my last
card and t :rned my last card. Suckers are
plenty and money seem to come easy. I
havo a few dollars and with it I am going
to lead anew life ’ I was shocked and
thought I was being guyed, but not so. He
meaut just what he said and reformed, but
before we parted my partner said to me:
‘We may both live many years, and I will
never forget the rood times we h ive had to
gether. lam going to quit gambling; you
are not, but whether you do or not, if you
ever play a 6taek of blues think of me, aud
if you win bury half of them to live on.’
"That was nearly live years ago. Now,
then, comes ray story. Only a short time
ago I heard of my former partner conduct
ing a religious meeting in tho town where I
was, and 1 quit a good game jus’ to go nnd
seo him. He did not know that I was in a
thousand miies of him. Bef re going to
the church I took a blue chip and marked,
not only his initials, but mine on it. I |
went to church and was sente 1 about half j
way down the isle. There wore singing |
and several short speeches, but I began
to feel that I was iu the w rong |
pew, becaus; I did not see my former j
partner. The choir sang 'Hold ho Fort,’
and just as I was about to leave my formor
partner appeared and made a few remarks,
and then asked the congregation to con
tribute sis tha choir sang. Two men whom
I knew very well and have beaten out of
inahy a dollar passed the baskets. Whou
one came to me I threw in roy blue check
and smiled in my sleeve when I thought of
w hat ray former partner wi -uld think when
he saw it. I will never go again where ho
is, for when the money was poured out on
the table he stepped to the edge of tne pul
pit, and said:
"‘I hold in my hand a blue chip. It’s worth
S2O. It’s as good as gold, for the man who
put it in has indorsed it wi.h his name. I’ve
held many a one with him. ami he has owed
me large sums of money, and I know that !
this check will be redeemed. ’ That was all
he said. I took my hat. anil went to the !
door and found an usher. I gave him two ,
tens and a five for good measure and told
him to give my kii and regards to my friend
and former partner. I don’t play any more
jokes on reformed gamblers.”
