THE VERMONT TROOPS. A RKIUADK THAT fl«l> A I.OT OK VUS AM) KKOI.IC: IN IT. Bern. Verier Vmere, In hit Kemlnlftr^nrm el Ike %%’nr. Tell* Thin Nlnry nl n Vermont 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 fectiy well It) Rail In* toad of Trail. now TEXAS 18 OOI HQ TO OKT ITS 0 ATT LI NORM DKHIUTB qUAIUNlINR, The quarantine regulations of Kanaaa ogaiuat the cattle from Texas have brok* outlet for the stock cattle of the Texas ranches the F->rt Worth and Denver City Railroad is being extended at the rate of a mile a day beyond Wichita This will give transportation for 80Utl!Wru ftli d southwestern Lexas cattle to Harrold, which is a newly established town.

Thin war of intere#ts, which threatened to become most bitter, is likely to end with the rail in place of t he trail. 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.
