WHEN THEY WERE BOYS The Grand Army Will Cele brate Real Old Times. "ON TO WASHINGTON!" TIIE CRY. A Retrospect of Their First Trip to the Capital Scenes That Lie lley on it. The Crack Regiment. That Earueil Im mortal Fame on Eastern Battlefields. (Copyright, 1802, by Amorican Press Associa tion.] Sept. 20 the veterans will moot to live the war days over on the banks of the Potomac. They will glide over the course to the grand encampment in parlor coaches, they will float there in palace steamers, ami even couch their rheumatic limbs in the downy berths of those supreme luxuries of the age— hotel cars—feasting at will, sleeping when the lit takes them, and awaken ing from dreams as charming as an oriental's vision to hear the train call, "Washington!" Then they will rub their eyes, pinch tlieir flesh and hunt through their clothes for mementos to identify themselves, for all will be BO strange. When they were boys tliey joked about rooms bespoken nt Wil lurd's or the Spottswood, the swell war time hostelriesof Washington and Rich mond. Now they will be honored guests iu quarters that are kingly in contrast with those noted models, and will have the keys to a city where splen dor paints the air with a royal tinge. In 1861 they were happy to secure a bench in a box car, and thought nothing of riding on the bumpers and holding on to the brakemen's ladders. Anything above an open flat car was a prize, and they would even be thankful for stand ing room in one of them as a means of getting to the seat of war somehow, or, if put to a pinch, go afoot and not grumble at bad walking. Once there a berth on the pavement was a stroke of fortune, for a bed in the mud was a common lot, while a strip of sward 6 feet by 2 on Capitol Green was elegance itself. 1 Very modest and timid at first about taking liberties in the holy city, their shyness vanished in a day or two and Washington, that didn't press honors and cheer upon them contained nothing too good in their eyes for the men who were to save it. They made a cooking camp on the grounds around the treasury, bivouacked under the overhanging scaf folds of the Capitol rotunda and in the chambers and committee rooms of con- MILD EYED BUT SAVAGE CLAD ZOUAVES, gress. Groups of mild eyed but savage clad zouaves picketed the streets and squares, picturesque reminders that the much decried military power was for once on top. Fremont, the ex-pioneer and explorer, and Little Mac, the ex railroad builder, riding down Pennsyl vania avenue, the one in his wild west trappings, the other in his trim, simple, regular army olothes, gave notice that the nation had suspended the chase after the almighty dollar to go gunning for marplots. The social entertainment of the boys at the capital in 1861 was as informal and primitive as their fare. Guests of the republic's court residence and in vited there to defend it, they were obliged to help themselves to a smack of Washington life, yet even in that man ner saw something to recall at this date for their children and grandchildren. They clambered over builders' debris on the Capitol plaza, dodged among scaf foldings and derricks that encumbered the way around porticos, galleries and corridors, querying whether the mam moth pile was ever to lie finished and serve its true purpose. They haunted the navy yard and ar senal to see how solid Uncle Sam might be in thnnder making supplies, roamed through the Smithsonian and patent of fice, eyed the treasury and war build ings with awe or with skepticism, ac cording as pay days were prompt or languishing and battles good or bad for our side. They scoured the town looking for ducal parks and palaces in their inno cence, and at last voted the place a worm eaten, ramshackle village, then pulled their war enthusiasm up to the fighting point by elbowing through the crowds to shake "Father Abrain's" hand and congratulate the nation, while com miserating the sad eyed martyr that he was in the president's chair. This trip public spirited Washington will look after their good cheer in away to set their eyes agog, and once more they'll look back thirty years, with the exclamation, "Is this Washington?" or, "Am I myself or some other fellow?" In some respects the great contrasts will be reversed. The parade on Pennsyl vania avenue to commemorate the grand review of 1865 will lack nothing in en thusiasm, though the color of tho great original cau never be reproduced. It will be a renewal of youth to every man in the Grand Army line. Then when the last tattoo sounds beside the Poto mac's shore the plodding pilgrimage will begin to scenes of other memories. Wash ington recalls the victory, the glory; the battlefields beyond reoall the deeds that purchased both. On that pilgrimage two columns will join their marches, our Grand Army and the Grand Army gone before, that ghostly column tiie poet had in vision when he wrote: And I saw a phantom arm, come With never a sound of life or drum. But keeping step to a muffled bum fit walling and lamentation The martyred heroes of Malvern HUI, Of Gettysburg and Chaucellorsville— The men whose wasted bodies All The patriot graves of the nation. All night long moved the strange array; And all night long till the break of day 1 watched for one who had passed away. With reverent awe and wonder, Till a blue cap waved in the lengthening lkte And I knew that one who was kin of mine Had come. * * * When that inarch begins the old army will materialize into regiments, brigades and corps out of the posts of the G. A. R. While going the rounds from Cemetery Hill to Five Forks, let there be a new TO SHAKE "FATHER ABRAH's" HAND. | canonization—a calling out of the forty immortals of the Army of the Potomac, the forty infantry regimentß whose dead , on those fields scored above 200 killed | in battle. There are just forty of them and in state lines knew no east nor west. New Hampshire heads the list of these crack regiments with the famous "Fighting Fifth," that scored a death i roll on the field of 205. Pennsylvania ; follows with the Eighty-third's death roll of 282. Ten other Keystone regi ments appear in this list, the One Hun dred and Fifth, that lost 245; the Sixty- j first, 287; the Eleventh, 286; the Forty fifth, 227; the One Hundredth, 224; the One Hundred and Forty-eighth, 210; the ' Eighty-first, 208; the Fifty-fifth, also 208; the One Hundred and Forty-fifth, j 205, and the Fifty-third, 200. The third place on the list is held by ! Wisconsin, with ttie Seventh, that lost 281. The Sixth Wisconsin has a place lower down, with 244 for a record of I killed, and the Second Wisconsin is close to that, with 238. Michigan is in the fourth place, next following her sister state. Her Fifth regiment lost 263. Five other Michigan | regiments have places—the Sixteenth, with 247; the Twenty-seventh, 225; the Second, also 225; the Eighth, 223, and ; the Seventh, 208. Massachusetts comes fifth on the list, | with the Twentieth regiment at 260. i Just below is the Twenty-eighth, with ! 250, and down the line the Fifteenth, with 241; the Twenty-second, with 210: the Ninth, with 200, and the Fifty- ! seventh, 201. New York, that shed more heart's blood than any other state, because she had more—but she did give it—New Yoik comes in for the sixth place, and that is held by the gallant Sixty-ninth (Irish), with a roll of 259 killed. The ' Empire State appears again with the Fortieth (Mozart regiment), scoring 238; the One Hundred and Twenty-first, 226; the One Hundred and Eleventh, 220, and the Fifty-first, 202. New Jersey holds the twelfth place on the list, the seventh to eleventh being taken by regiments named with their Btate leader. The Fifteenth New Jersey lost 240 killed. Vermont has her first honor in the twenty-third place, with the Second, that lost 221 killed; the Fifth lost 208; the Third, 206, and the Sixth, 203. These four regiments, together with the Fourth Vermont, formed the famous Vermont brigade, that lost more men killed on the field than any other brigade in the army, east or west. Maine scores one in the thirty-second place, the Seventh, that lost 207. But she is at the head in two other lists of crack regiments noted below. Connecticut is thirty-fifth, with the Fourteenth, that lost 205, and Indiana is thirty-eighth, with the Twentieth, that lost 201. Another band of immortals that fought over the bloody ground of the Potomac is the nine regiments of heavy artillery that Hcoreil records of over 200 killed. They were all recruited for gar rison duty, and went to the front in 1864. Their losses were remarkable, be cause they nearly all occurred within ninety days, in the battles of May, June and July, at Spottsylvania, Cold Har- FRKMONT, TIIE EX-PIONEER. bor and Petersburg. The liHt is headed by the First Maine, with its 423 killed. ; Next follows the Eighth New York, | with 861. The Empire State has four other representatives in the band—the Seventh, with 201 killed; the Four teenth, with 226; the Second, with 214, and the Ninth, with 204. The Second Connecticut lost 254, the First Massa i chusetts 241, and the Second Pennsyl j vania, 283. It is popularly supposed that heavy artillery regiments hud more men to I expose to the enemy's Imllcts than aid the infantry, and fur that tattoo cannot fairly rival the latter in u com parison of losses. Here are three facts bearing on that point. The forty im mortals in the infantry of the Army of the Potomac are led by the Fifth New Hampshire, which carried 2,500 men on its rolls, and 295 of them were killed, j The Seventh New York Heavy artillery J carried less than 2,700 men on its rolls, I and 291 of them were killed. That is about even, allowing for all contingen j cies. But the Eighth New York pulls I the artillerymen ahead by a long reach, j It carried lessthan 2,600 men on its roils, and 861 of them were killed. In other I words, with only eighty more men on its ! rolls its killed numbered sixty-six more 1 than the New Hampshire infantry lost. I Now for the immortals on horsobaok. ! The nine cavalry regiments of the Union that lost over 100 men killed in battle | belonged to the Army of the Potomac and rode to the charge and raid in the ' narrow strip between the Susquehanna and the James. Maine heads this band also, and with its First cavalry and a I score of 174 killed. Michigan follows, ! with three claimants in rotation—the First, with 164; the Fifth, with 141, and the Sixth, with 135. | Vermont claims a place in this list ! with its First cavalry, that scored 134. New York has two names on the roll, her First Dragoons, that lost 130, and the Second cavalry, that lost 121. New Jer- I sey is represented by her First cavalry, I with 128 killed, and Pennsylvania by the Eleventh regiment, with 119. Thetroop : ers won their honors by hard fighting, where Kilpatrick, Custer, Gregg, Tor bert, Wilson and Kautzled them against J Stuart, Hampton, Rosser and the Lees. 1 Another band of immortals whose honors belong to the Potomac field com j prises the ten regiments that suffered the heaviest in killed, counting percent ages on the number enrolled. The first three lost over 19 ]M:l' cent., or about one !in every five enrolled. These were the Second Wisconsin, 19.7 per cent.; the j First Maine Heavy artillery, 19.2 per cent., and the Fifty-seventh Massachu ! setts, 19.1 per cent. The One Hundred 1 and Fortieth Pennsylvania lost 17.4 per cent.; the Seventh and the Twenty-sixth Wisconsin, each 17.2 per cent., and the j Sixty-ninth New York, 17.1 percent., the killed in these four regiments being : ahont one in six of those enrolled. In [ the remaining three of this immortal ten the loss was about one in seven of the enrollment. They were all Penn | sylvanians, the Eleventh scoring 16.6 ' percent.; the One Hundred and Forty second, 16.5, and the Ono Hundred and Forty-first, 16.1 per cent, j Last and greatest of all, when the su preme test is applied, come the immortal ' five regiments that lost in killed in : single battles a proportion considerably ! greater than one to five of the number | engaged. Those five made their remark- I able records on the eastern fields. At the top stands the First Minnesota, which in | a charge at Gettysburg left 28 per cent. \ of its men dead or mortally wounded, i The Fifteenth New Jersey left 24 per | cent, of its fighting strength dead or dying at Spottsylvania, and two weeks "LITTLE MAC" AND DEVIL DAN, later, at Cold Harbor, the Twenty-fifth Massachusetts dropped 24 per cent, of its men in front of a single breastwork. The One Hundred and Forty-first Penn sylvania also lost 24 per cent, in the Peach Orchard fight at Gettysburg. The fifth in this list is the famous Duryea's Zouaves, that lost 23 per cent, in one dasli at Second Bull Run. Its death roll was 117, the highest in any Union regiment in a single battle dur ing the war. Every unit in all these startling numbers represents a hero, and it is not getting very close to the indi vidual to simply name a regiment's total. But to his comrades each brave boy will seem to stand in line and answer "Here!" on the very ground where his young life was given to his country. George L. Kilmer. DEATH ROLL OF THE STATES.

The base ball record in this part of the county was beaten yesterday after noon by the Hazleton club and the Tigers. For two hours and twenty min utes they struggled bard to gain some advantage over each other, but so evenly matched were they that it was found impossible. The game opened in a rather listless manner, and it was not until the Tigers tied the score in the ninth that it became very interesting. Hazleton made a run in the first inning, two in the second and two in the fifth. For the next nine innings not on j of the visitors could pass third ! base. The Tigers scored one in the • second, third and fifth, and Iwo in the ninth. When the score was tied both teams got down to perfect ball playing. Al though the pitchers were batted freely enough, the batters could not hit safe, j and the game went on like clock-work until the end of the fourteenth inning, | when the umpire, with the consent of, both managers, called it on account of darkness. The batteries of both team did excel-; lent, and the longer the game became : the more efficient were the pitchers. Trimble's third base work was the lead ing feature of the day, and the liy catches of J. Herron and Gillespie were well ap plauded. The Tigers' diamond did the best playing seen here for some time, ' the four players having accepted fifty live chances with only two errors. The i score: TIOERH. HAZLETON. H. 11. O. A. E. It. 11. O.

The Electropoise lias been in use for four yeare, and is well known in some sections of the United States, but there are a great many sufferers that have never heard the name. Those that have heard of it uml seen something , of its wonderful power, are curious to know how an instrument so small and so simple can accomplish cures so great. Now, while the Electropoise is very wonderful, it is not at all mysterious. Its ojicration falls in with what we know of science and any one at all familiar with the simplest facts of Biology and Physics can understand. ; HOW IT OPERATES. —The way in which I the Electropoise accomplishes its cures is very i simple and natural. It consists of a polarizer, which is connected by a woven wire cord with a small plate and garter. This polarizer is im mersed in cold water, or put on ice. The plate at the other end of the cord is attached to the warm body of the patient, generally at. the ankle. From the luhcrent nature of tin's polarizer it becomes negatively charged. By i tlyt' well-known laws of induction, the plate, j and with it the body of the patient, liecomcs intuitively charged. The body thereby becomes a centre of attraction for negative biwlics. Oxygen is the most negative form of matter in nature. Hence the body, bathed in the atinos : pherc, drinks in the life-giving oxygen at , every pore. Every process of life is thereby I quickened. The temperature rises; the pulse throbs with a fuller beat; the skin tingles witli , new life; every organ acts with renewed vigor, and the effete poisonous products of the body i are thrown off with ease. That quickened change of matter which oxygeu produces throughout the system, is accompanied by a largely increased genesis of Nerve Force. Organs half dead and stag nant are bom again, and begin to perform their wonted functions. The heart, the lungs, the liver, the organs of the external senses, the | organs of reproduction—all these throw off their derangement and weakness, and even the I disordered intellect is ofttimes roeuthronod. , here disease has not already made too great ravages, restoration to perfect health Is in evitable. The Electropoise is gcucrallv used at night while the patient is usleep, but may be applied, of course, at any time, and to several persons during the twenty-four hours, it will last a lite-time, never wears out nor loses its strength, never needs mending nor recharging. One in each family will render that family largely independent of doctors and druggists, and thus will save every year many times Its small cost. NOT AN ELECTRICAL APPLIANCE. Ihe Electropoise is not in any way akiu to | the numerous elcctricul appliances, such as I hells, inutile*, corsets, shield*, Ac,, palmed off I upon the public. It has no method of generat ing a current, nor means of conducting one. It acts upon well-known biological principles, and is heurtily endorsed by many or the nest physicians in this and other countries, and is daily used by them In their practice. It is pro ; pounced by them the greatest discovery in the history ot medicine, in that it does away with the use of medicines. DIRECTIONS FOR USlNG.—Aeeompnny ing each instrument is a book of iustruetions ■ fully explaining its uses. Its method of cure is so simple and free from duiiger, that the un initiated and even children can use it with pcr , feet ease und success. Editorial in lioslon Christian Witness and Ad vocate of llUile Holinc**, September 3,1891: "A method of treatment of diseuse without the use of any medicines or drugs, which has been quietly extending Itself over all parts of the I nited States during the past three years with very gratifying results. We are slow to commend new discoveries of any kind, for the reason that so many of them prove to be worthless. But we can commend the Electropoise as a safe and effective health restorer. We do not pretend to explain the philosophy of its workings, but, having realiz ed its beneficial effects, we can speuk of its re sults. About one year ago we recommended it to Bro. 1.1). Ware, of Philadelphia, for his son, who was a great sufferer from Sciatica. He had sought relief in vurious ways and found none. lie was almost helpless, and rapidly de clining. The use of the Electropoise restored him to perfect health, and now. after nearly a year, he is rejoicing as one who has found great Spoil. We have seen testimonials of most, re markable cures. Tliis notice of the Electro poise is without solicitation, and entirely gra tuitous. We do it for the good of the afflicted. We have no jtereonal interest in it, and are not paid for what we say in its favor." The following editorial in Central Methodist, Catlettsburg, Ky„ was written by Zcphaniali Meek, I). 1)., editor: i "Unless about ten thousand men, mniuly pro fessional men, lawyers, doctors, editors, preach ers, and all other classes, including the writer, are very much mistaken, the Electropoise ef fects cures and gives relief when* all other known remedies have failed. Especially is it efficacious in the case of delicate women and feeble children. 1 have used one for the past two yeare, and find it invaluable as a curative ; agent."
