THE VERMONT TROOPS. A BRIG A I>K THAT HAO A I.OT OK VVS AN I* FKOI.IC IN IT. .Ben. Peeler Poore, In hi* Hemioinroncru ot the War, Telia Thin Story of a Vermont Brigade, The Vermont brigade was the pot or ganization of the Army of the Potomac, and Miles O’Reilly described them as honest farmers turned vagabonds—aim pie countrvmen changed into heroes, eow^ They stole ancient horses aud bony on the march. .They pillaged moderately in other things. They swept the dairies and they stripped the orchards for miles where they traveled. They chased rab¬ bits when they went into camp after long marches, and they yelled like wild Indians when neighboring camps were silent through fatigue. They were famil¬ iar with their officers. They swaggered in a cool, impudent way and looked down with a patronizing Yankee cool¬ ness upon all regiments that were better drilled, and upon that part of the army generally that did not belong to the Ver¬ mont brigade. They were strangely proud, not of themselves individually, but of the brigade collectively, for they knew perfectly well that they were the best fighters in the known world. They were individually self-reliant and skilful in the use of arms, and they honestly be¬ lieved that the Vermont brigade could not be beaten by all the combined armies of the rebellion. ^ They were veterans in fighting quali¬ ties almost from the first skirmish. This was at Lee’s Mills, They crossed a nar row dam under a fire, made the attack they were instructed to make, and came back, wading deep in the water, with a steadiness that surprised the army, They were an incorrigible, irregular, noisy set of rascals. They were much sworn at during their four years of service; yet they were, at all times, a pet brigade. There were but two things they would do—march and fight; and these they did in a manner peculiarly their own. They had a long, slow, swinging stride on the march, which dis¬ tanced everything that followed them. They had a quiet, attentive, earnest, in¬ dividual way of fighting that made them terrific in battle. Each man knew that his neighbor in the ranks was not going to run away, and he knew also that he himself intended to remain where he was. Accordingly, none of the attention of the line was directed from the impor¬ tant duties of loading and firing, rapidly and carefully. WI When into . . action moving and while hotly engaged, they made queer, quaint jokes, and enjoyed them greatly. They crowed like cocks, they ba-a-ed like sheep, they neighed like horses, they bellowed like bulls, they barked like dogs, and they counterfeited with excellent effect the indescribable music of the mule. When, perchfinc©, they held « picket line in the forest, it seemed as if Noah’s ark had gone to pieces there. When the Vermonters led the column on a march their quick movements had to be regulated from corps of ^division headquarters to avoid gaps in the column as it followed them. If a rapid or forced march was required, it was a common thing for Sedgwick to say, with a quiet smile, “ Put the Vermonters at the head of the column to-day and keep everything wpU close d up.” _ A Dangerous Experiment One day last fall a small boy of White Plains. N. Y., had his ears filled with oats by acme boys with whom he was skylarking in a barn. The hoy scratched and cleaned out, as ne thought, all of the grain, and abont his business. About six week. ago the boy was taken with a severs pain in his ear. His head swelled np, and be was in awful agony. All reme dies failed, and his mother took him to a physician, who removed two kernel* of oats which had sprouted and taken root in the boy’s ear. H# is now tx r fe«tly well 1>J Rail Instead of Trail. HOW TEXAS IS GOING TO GET ITS OATTIi* NOltTH lyK.SPITR QUARANTINE. The quarantine regulations of Kansas against the cattle from Texas have brok en up the northern drives into that State, and to meet the pressing demand for an outlet, for the stock cattlo of the Texas ranches the Fort Worth aud Denver City Railroad is being extended at the rate of a mile a day beyond Wichita F-dls. This will give transportation for southern and southwestern Texasi cattle *^° Harrold, .which is a newly established town * The battle designed for the North will then be driven across the Indian Territory to the terminus of the St. Louis, Fort Scott and Wichita Railroad, where they will be reshipped in cars. The cattle that are to go to the fattening ranges in Colorado, Wyoming aud Mon tana will be driven along the old Griffin and Dodge trail, through tho neutral strip just north of the Panhandle coun try aud thus they will reach Colorado. The Texas cattle interests for a time seemed seriously threatened by the cattle quarantine, but the railroad has taken the place of the trail. It is be¬ lieved that this will prove to be a solu¬ tion of a serious difficulty. The North¬ ern cattlemen, who have been influential enough to secure quarantine legislation, claim that the Texas herds bring death and disease to their cattle although pass¬ ing by themselves in excellent condition. There has been no doubt of this iufec ^ on aUl ^ ori S iu > ^ut cause * s a -^e southern Texas cattle a PP ear to spread the fever worse than those from the northern ranges. There :s no Pl a § ue that the Kansas cowmen ‘head more thap the Texas fever, and in croS8 * u S a tra ^ ou ^ 10! * r ^ r * vea they will put their cattle on a run, despite all con¬ sequent loss of flesh, until the herd is beyond the limits of the path of the Texas herds. It is claimed that when northern cattle are permitted to graze or drink where Texas cattle have passed the fever is certain to appear aud to cause serious losses. Thin war of interests, which threatened to become most bitter, is likely to end with the rail in place of the trail. Forces of England and Russia. Russia has more soldiers aud more ships of war than any other country in the world. In her standing army there are 111 . ^ er Dav y*' It C 8 S ^110,000,000 a year to keep her military establishments G n their peace footing, and her military authorities say they cam place 2,300,000 trained men under arms in war time. The English standing army is 182.000 men . This inc i u des the English regu lar troops serving in India. The Eug lisU War Office authorities profess to be able to put 612,000 well-drilled and ef fective British troops in the field If ca q e d 0 n to do so. This does not in elude the Indian auxiliary forces, which would swell the total British forces at home and abroad to over 1,000,000 men. It Costs England $90,000,000 ft year to keep up its regular army. In 1853 there were 52,000 Irish soldiers in the English army; now there are only 31, qqq j n 1353 a g re at number of Irish men f rorn Tipperary, Armagh, Kilkenny, an( j 0 j.h er Irish militia regiments volnn teered for active service, and were sent to the Crimea. The English navy con tains 283 ships. But while the Bus B j an navy contains more vessels than English naw. it must be remem bered that England spends three times aa much on her navy as Russia spends an hers. “ Brief an d to th e Point.
