Brigade.
The Vermont ws. the pot or
ganization of the Army of the Potomac,
and Miles O’Reilly described them as
honest farmers turned vagabonds—sim
pie countrymen changed into heroes,
They stole ancient horses and bony cows
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 rah
bite 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 infighting 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. , • j mu 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. When moving into action
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, perchance,
they held a 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
well closed up.”
A Dangerous Experiment
One day last fall a small boy of White
skylarking in a barn,
scratched and cleaned out, as he
thought, all of the grain, and went
about his business. About six weeks
ago the boy was taken with a severe
pain Id his ear. His bead swelled up,
and he was in awful agony. All reme¬
dies failed, and his mother took him tc
a physician, who removed two kernel!
of oats which had sprouted and taken
root in tbe boy’s earUEI e is now oer

The quarantine regulations of Kanaaa

This will give transportation for

The Texas cattle interests for a time

cattle quarantine, but the raiiroad has
taken the place of the trail. It isg be¬

Forces of England and Russia.
Russia has more soldiers and more
ships of war than any other country in
the world. In her standing army there
are 780,000 men, and she has 358 ships
in her navy. It costs $125,000,000 a
year to keep her military establishments
on their peace footing, and her military
authorities say they can place 2,300,000
trained men under arms in war time.
English standing army is 182,000
me n. This includes the English regu
j ar troops serving in India. The Eug
\^ ar Office authorities profess to be
able to put 6 42,000 well-drilled and ef
fective British troops in the field If
called on to do so. This does not in¬
elude the Indian auxiliary forces, which
would swe u the total British forces at
home and abroad to over 1 , 000,000 men.
it costs England $90,000,000 a year to
jj ee p U p its regular army. In 1853
there were 52,000 Irish soldiers in the
English army; now there are only 31,
qqq i n 1353 a great number of Irish
men f rom Tipperary, Armagh, Kilkenny,
and other Irish militia regiments volun
‘eered for active service, and were sent
to the Crimea. The English navy con
tains 283 Bmps. But while the Bus
