To. 39. THE BATTLE OF NASBY
BY BARON THOMAS BABINGTON MACAULAY
The battle of Nasby was fought- June 14. 1645. between Charles I and
rhe parliamentary army under Fairfax and C romwell. The main body of the
royal army was commanded by Lord Astley; Prince Rupert, the King's nephew
mid a German by birth, led the right wing, and Sir Marmaduke Langdale the left.
Rkij>pon was a general on the parliamentary side. The royal army, though suc
cessful in the early part of the action, was totally defeated. Alsatia was a
disorderly quarter of London, and Whitehall was the royal palace. Temple Bar
was a place in London where, formerly, the heads of traitors were exposed. This
ballad is supposed to be written by an officer in the victorious array, and ex
presses the sentiments which such a man would naturally feel at the triumph of a
cause which he believed to be right.
O. wherefore come ye forth, in triumph from the North.
With your hands, and your feet, and your raiment all red?
And wherefore doth your rout send forth a joyous shout!
And whence be the grapes of the wine-press which ye tread?
O, evi! was the root, aud bitter was the fruit,"
And crimson was the juice of the vintage that we trod:
For we trampled on the throng of the haughty and the strong,
Who sat iu the high places, and slew the saints of God.
It was about the noon of a glorious day of June,
That we saw their banners dance, and their cuirasses shine:
And the Man of Biood was there, with his long essenced hair,
And Astley. and Sir Marmaduke, and Rupert of the Rhine.
Like a servant of the Lord, with his Bible and his sword.
The general rode along us. to form us to the fight,
When a murmuring sound broke out, and swelled into a shout,
Among the godless horsemen, upon the tyrant's right.
And. hark! like the roar of the billows on the shore,
The cry of battle rises along their charging line!
For God! for the Cause! for the Church! for the Laws!
For Charles, King of England, and Rupert of the Rhine!
The furious German comes, with his clarions and his drums.
His bravos of Alsatia. and pages of Whitehall;
They are bursting on our flanks. Grasp your pikes, close your ranks.
For Rupert never conies but to conquer or to fall.
They are here! They rush on! We are broken! We are gone!
Our left is borne before them like stubble on the blast. v
O Lord, put forth thy mighty! O Lord, defend the right!
Stand back to back, in God's name, and tight it to the last.
Stout Skippon hath a wound: the center hath given ground;
Hark! hark! What means this trampling of horsemen in our roar?
Whose banner do boys? 'Tis he, thank God, 'tis he, boys.
Bear up another minute: brave Oliver is here.
Their heads all stooping low. their points all in a row.
Like a whirlwind on the trees, like a deluge on the dvkes,
Our cuirassiers have burst on the ranks of the Accurst,
And at a shock have scattered the forest of his
Fast. fast, the gallants ride, in some safe nook to hide
Their coward heads, predestined to rot on Temple Bar;
And he—he turns, lie flies:—shame on those cruel eves
That bore to look on torture, and dare not look on war.
SCENE FROM "TWIN BEDS" W
ENGAGEMENT AT THE MAJESTIC FRIDAY
There is a grain of latent supersti-!
tion in all of us, whether we are edu- i

plays Bignora Monti, the Irish wife of
the famous Italian Opera tenor, has de
veloped a superstition that is unique, j
and she ha* written the business man >
ager of "Twin-Beds' asking him to j
aaVige her in which theatre the attrac- 1

that if tbe theatre be named for a j

fIAftRISBUKtt STAR-INDEPENDENT, MONDAY BVENING, APRIL 26, 1915.
I JEFFERSON'S HOME.
' Mentloallo, With lt« View «f the Uni
varsity of Virginia.
A mansion on Monticello ("little
mountain," \ pronounced "Montechel
lo"), waa Jefferson's boyhood dream.
He worked at It all hM life with an
artist's creative teal.
The road from Charlottesville Is wind
ing, billy and rough. Rows of big
stepping 1 stones cross it, lifting pedes
trians out of the red mud, but jolting
heedless drivers.
Visitors may stay in the grounds
twenty minutes, but must brftig n<
luncheons. Jefferson's guests stayed
weeks and ate him into poverty.
From the servants' quarters a long
sunken way runs under the house ta
the ice house and other storage be
yond. The flat roof of this walk, twc
feet above ground, is a dry promenade.
Over the icehouse is an outlook plat
form. Icehouse and servants' qunr
ters are half underground, with win
dows only on the far side. Jefferson
looked out over them east toward
Washington, west toward the Unlver
slty of Virginia, whose beginnings he
watched with his telescope when he
could no longer walk.
Students enjoy the most beautiful
and inspiring scholastic shades in th«
new world. Jefferson's university Is
artistic perfection, reverently preserv
ed. Toward the town the curved walls
he designed to save brick and labot
for a poor institution still stand. The
length of each wave' line curve is
twenty feet. Its width, forty Inches,
gives the stability of a three foot waU
to one only four Inches thick. The
effect Is pleasing. »
Jefferson was a better architect than
Washington, and perhaps his equal It
landscape gardening and estate plan
ning.
On Jefferson's gravestone at Monti
cello no mention of the presidency is
made, but his authorship of the Dec
laration and the Virginia statute ol
religious liberty Is recited and that h«
was the "Father of the Unlverllty ol
Virginia."—New York World.
BAHAMA ISLAND SHELLS.
Pearly Treasures of Many Varieties
Line the Beaches.
The shores of the Bahama Islands
are each day strewn with multitudes of
beautiful senshells. more than fifty va
rieties of which have a commercial
value !n the United States and Europe.
Among these are rico shells, so tiny
In as to make one marvel how a
sufficient number could be picked up to;
fill a barrel; gold shells, mud shells,:
cockles, bleeding tooth; pretty decora-:
tive sun shells, eardrop shells, which}
are exported to Odessa. Russia, to bo j
used as ear pendants; Panama or tent ;
shells, which resemble miniature en-1
campments and sell at SOO a barrel;!
black snails, which take a high polish; l
conchs—king, queen, ivory, pinkllp and 1
trochug or Turk's cap. locally termed
"whelks." These are but a few of the
assortment kept In stock at the leading
warehouses at Nassau.
The qneon conch, which is et pecially
adapted for cameo carving on account
of having a layer of brown with a
white top and the pinkllp conch, which
has layers of white and pink, are much
sought for. Only the lips of these two
varieties are exported, the demand
coming from New York and from Torre
del Greco, near Naples, Italy.
Ordinary conchs sell at 1 cent; pink
llp. whole shells, from 5 cents to 23
cents, and queens at 30 cents United
States currency in Nassau. The whelk
or Turk's cap is particularly valuable,
as it has a portion resembling the best
mother-of-pearl, from which pearl
studs, for Instance, could be made.
It is estimated that a million shells
of this variety could be obtained annu
ally in this colony. These shells sell
for 1% cents each. Labor is cheap,
colored women receiving from 25 to 3fl
cents, ordinary laboring men 90 cents
and white engineers $1.50 a day.—ln

MRS. CORA E. BRITTEN TO
DRIVE IN MOTOR CLUB RON
*
First Women to Enter For Three-Day
Tri* Through South Jersey and
Dela^fcre—A Trophy For the Most
Popular Driver
Seven handsome trophies were re
ceived- bv the Motor Club of Ht&rris
burg on Saturday from West Chester,
three gold plated ones from the Board
of Trade, and this morning a number
arrived from Wilmington, making the
total for the publicity run, May 10,
11 aud 12, reach the seventy mark.
Many other trophies are expected
within a few days. |
The contest committee of the Motor
Club met on Siturday and decided on
rules for the run which are very sim
ple and only require an easy touring
schedule to be kept up with checking
at various cities aud towns along the
route, where stops are to be made and
where demonstrations have been
planned.
In order to bring some features into
the run the committee decided upon
three special awards of trophies to be
made as follows:
One trophy to most popular driver
on run.
One trophy to the business firm with
best advertising feature.
One trophy to the make of car with
most entries —disposal of trophy to be
arranged by owners.
Several other special classes are
now being talked over and Secretary
Myton will be held to hear from any
members who have any features they
might wish to suggest.
The Harrisburg run will be honored
by at least one woman driver as Mrs.
Cora of West Fairview, an
ardent motorist has entered and will
driver her own car over the entire
route. Several other women drivers are
expected and owners of cars -will make
up their parties by taking their entire
families.
The officials of the mTitor club de
sire all those who intend to enter to
register as soon as possible as many
of the towns are intyiiring how many
care and people will be on the run.
These inquiries come from towns which
are planning demonstrations and re
ceptions and where souvenirs will
likely be given the contestants.
The entrance fee of $5 covers all
the touring expense including tolls,
ferriage and storage at night at At
lantic City and Wilmington. The ex
pense is considerably over that figure,
but the -Motor Club is bearing all that
portion aibove the actual entrance fee
in order that its members oan have a
splendid at ve>y little
expense.
George D. Proud, who has been em
ployed by the Motor Club, reports ac
tivity in all the towns through which
the Harrisburg tourists will pass and
will spend this week in Harrisburg ar
ranging for the route book. Business
firms who have not already made ar
rangements to enter are invited to call
upon Secretary Myton.
TO LIFT MORE QUARANTINE
State and Federal Authorities Co-op
erating in Cattle Disease Work
The State Live Stock Sanitary Board
will some time this week nnnounce a
number of counties and localities from
which the quarantine is to be lifted
for foot and mouth disease. The ac
tion of the Federal authorities in re
leasing a number of counties from quar
antine to-day is in accord with the work
of the State Board. The two are act
ing in harmony.
The killing of hogs in the infected
district iti Philadelphia was kept up
to-day, and before the slaughter is over
at least 15,000 animals will have been
reduced to fertilizer.

REVERSE FOR TIE ALLIES
IN TRE DARDANELLES IS
NOW SUBJECT OFIIOIIIENT
London, April 26, 2.25 A. M.—Too
great expectations were raised by the
preliminary operations of the allied
fleet in the Dardanelles, according to a
representative of British ueWspapors
who is officially accredited to the expe
dition. -■»-
"The British navy is convinced,"
the correspondent says, "that the .nar
rows could be forced if occasion justi
fied the loss of ships that would result,
but, unless there were a powerful army
ready to occupy tfie Gallipoli peninsula
the moment the fleet passed into the
Sea of Marmora, the Turks and Ger
mans immediately would close the
straits behind it so the warships would
Hud it difficult to fight their way out
again.
"Nothing amazed the British and
French gunners more than the resisting
power of the old forts around the Dar
danelles. For example, those at Sed
dul Bahr and Kump Kale were subject
ed to a devastating bombardment in
February, yet when landing parties ex
amined them they found the material
damage done was comparatively small.
Although they were mere shamgles,
many guns were still intact and ont 9-
inch piece actually was found loaded.
"Similar conditions existed in the
forts nearer the narrows. After the
terrific bombardment of March 18 their
gunners were forced to seek shelter and
the fortifications were silenced, but the
fleet does not claim to have put many
guns out of commission. After the dis
asters to the battleships Ocean and Ir
resistible some of guns were re
manned, concentrating a heavy fire on
those vessels while the work of remov
ing the crews to destroyers was pro
gressing. ''
The correspondent considers the
Turks such poor gunners that the al
lies would have been at Constantinople
if there had been only Turkish troops
to deal with. He says, however, that
plnise must be given German officers
for their skillful use of the defenses to
meet the warships' fire. For this rea
son he believes it essential to have a
very large expeditionary force supplied
with heavy artillery, both field and
howitzers, if thb expedition is to be a
success.
"The first great obstacle," the Brit
ish observer" states, "lies in the con
stantly/ renewed mine fields, then the
concealed batteries of htavy howitzers
and the direct fire guns placed in posi
tion since the first attack on the outer
forts. Then there aTe the movable
light batteries, which bombard the ships
from the most unexpected quarters.
Th^severity of the fire from these bat
teries frequently checks and makes ex
ceedingly difficult the work of mine
sweeping.
"The more the task of forcing the
straits is examined the more tremendous
proportions does it assume. Moreover,
we do not know the strength of the
enemy's land forces, but they are eu
trenched everywhere, and the lesson of
Flanders brought home clearly what is
the inevitable cost of assaulting en
trenched positions."

themselves handicapped by the reactionary effects
of coffee with its subtle, habit-forming drug,

10 BURN INDIAN INCENSE
Albert Kelsey, In Hia Talk on Early
Mexico Friday, WiU Bhow Ar
ticles Used by Natives
Incense such as was burned in the
temples of tho Indians of Yucatan 300
years ago will be wafted through
Fshnestock hall Friday evening when
Albert Kelsey gives his picture talk on
his experiences in tropical Mexico.
Mr. Kelsey in agreeing to speak for
the benefit of the general fund of the
Pure Milk Society of Harrisburfc, also
promised to bring along some of the
blankets, pottery and other articles of
native service to give a "color" touch
to the lecture and the stage.
The incense was taken from an old
well in the city of Chicheun It/a, one
of the two%great municipalities of the
Maya civilisation. 'lt was that
the thousands of pilgrims journeyed to
worship the sun much as the Mohamme
dan travels to Mecca. The finest tem
ples were there; the conclaves of the
ancient priesthoods were held there.
In the course of his travels through
Yucatan Mr. Kelsey visited the ruins
of this ancient city and incidentally
he came upon the well. From this well
there were some other evidences of the
lost tribes of the Maya. The rest of
the find consisted of the skeletons of
ninety young women. Whether they
were the dancers of some ancient em
peror, or his wives or bis slaves or just
some women who had gathered at the
well is one of the stories that lies bur
ied in the dust of 300 years.
