"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

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-

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.

BASE BALL NOTES.
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:

summoned and after dressing the wound
both clubs decided to postpone the game

will take place at Freelaml park, and as
the managers of both teams are very
anxious to win the public can look for
another good game. The admission will

What is the Electropoise ?
and What Will it Do?
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.

vocate of llUile Holinc**, September 3,1891:

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."
Names of prominent people in all sections of
the U. S. generally ean be furnished on appli
cation. Our cures cover all parts of the United
States and Europe. Over 00,000 people have
been treated with the most gratifying results.
In the large majority of eases the cures have
been speedy, but our claims are modest, and in
long-standing, chronic eases you cannot expect
speedy cures. We positively refuse to sell the
Electropoise in hopeless cases.
