Kate Field on the Suffrage. Sixteen months ago, on the platform of the World's fair congresses in Chicago,

stated that, never having be

lieved in universal suffrage unallied to universal intelligence and honesty, I had never publicly advocated woman suffrage. Logically I have always believed that women had as much right to the ballot as men. I denied the right to both sexes. I have always claimed that suffrage is a privilege and should be granted as a reward of merit regardless of sex. If woman suffrage leaders had taken the same ground, I would have joined them long ago.

I was convinced that whenever a majority of Americau women wanted the ballot they would get it. I never met a man who did not assent to this conviction and who did not second my assertion that tiie worst opponents to female suffrage am women themselves.

Why, then, did I experience a change of heart in Chicago? Because I had begun to look into our naturalization laws and was terrified at facts. Because I discovered that the new states were in the hands of aliens, not citizens of the United States. Because I saw that female immigration was much less than male immigration that a large majorityof female votors would bo American born, and that tlie sooner the forces of anarchy and rebellion were met by the conservators of home and law the better for the country. I heard the threatenings of riot that broke out a year later, and it seemed to me time for women to come to the fore.

What I thought 1G months ago I firmly believe now.

Good Looks In Jiusiness.

Here i.s a little story which seems to indicate that tho pretty girl's business prospects arc hampered by her prettiness:

Tho secretary of a large eastern insurance company decided a short time sinco that it would bo better for his office work to introduce half a dozen or more women as typewriters, operators and assistant bookkeepers. He had noted that of the feminine employees in his office the pretty ones were the least effective and attracted the most attention, to the detriment of the work of the other clerks. So he decided to engage only women who were of mature years and experienced in office work. First he advertised, stating that applicants should give age and number of years' experience. He did not succeed in getting a single satisfactory reply. Then he went to a well known business college and told the manager that he did not suppose he would have any trouble in aiding him, as he did not want a young or attractive looking woman.

The manager listened to him while he explained his wants, and then, going to a desk, took out a filo of letters, with a smile, and laid them before his visitor. There wero upward of half a hundred applications from banks and commercial institutions, and every one of them, without a single exception, asked for a woman of mature age. The manager said that it was absolutely impossible to supply tho demand for employees of the description that business men now demanded, but he had rafts of pretty girls at all times who were applicants.

CUBA.

Wo are afraid somebody in Cuba must by lying.—New York Journal. Marti may be dead, and Gomez may bo dead, but there is pluck in Cuba, and the rebellion still lives.—Boston Journal.

We 1 iave reason to believe that General Campos in Cuba lias signed as his press agent Colonel Joseph Mulhatton of most everywhere.—Chicago Dispatch.

The time for springing the "master stroke of tho Cuban revolutionary movement" has been extended 80 days. This will allow7 the press correspondent ample time to rearrange Marti's obituary notices go as to lit his regular season of deaths.— Chicago Times-Herald.

WHEEL WHIRLS.

When you see a man with a thin streak a of mud down the middle of his back, you f: may know that he came to his office on a

wheel and found that the streets had been sprinkled.—Chicago Times-Herald. Nature never designed a bump to inspire the eloquence of a phrenologist like that displayed by a bicyclist who has just taken a header. The latter is, however, not seeking this particular kind of eloquence at 9uch a time, nor would it be safe to volunteer it.—Brockton Times.

SCARS OF GRIM WAR.

MR- BEADLE VISITS THE BELGIUM OF THE REBELLION.

From Germanna Ford to Spotfcsylvania Court House Is One Long Battlefield.

Virginia Gold Mining—A General Air of Refinement Among the People.

[Special Correspondence.]

BROCK'S CROSSING, Va., July 8.—Spott6ylvania and adjacent strips of Orange, Hanover, Louisa and Caroline counties constitute the Belgium of North America, not indeed in fertility, a* the region as a whole is among tho poorest in Virginia, and much less in density of population, for half the area is still covered by the native woods. The wild deer is still hunted over the old battlefields turkeys, foxes and opossums abound, and even the pheasant, extinct in tho central northwest, is occasionally brought down by a skillful marksman. In these solemn woods I came upon more than one creature which is but a reminiscence of boyhood in the west, as, compared with the Ohio valley, this is a wild and unsettled country. The quail and squirrel show that at this season they have no fear of man, and even tho male redbird, shiest as well as most graceful of all that hide in our forests, allows the rambler to como near enough to got a snap shot with a kodak.

The Belgium of America.

As Belgium was tho battlefield of Europe, so this region was the disputed ground for two bloody years, and save in the immediate vicinity of Richmond none other can compare with it in battle records. On an area not 40 miles either way, containing certainly not more than 1,400 square miles, were fought six of the bloodiest battles of the civil war and scores of minor engagements. On this area over 80,000 men were shot down and 50,000 mon captured or slightly wounded. Through all tho central part of it one may walk today on continuous lines of old breastworks in tho densest woods one comes suddenly upon rifle pits and old trees still bearing tho scars of conflict, and everywhere in the cleared lands the plow still turns up fragments of shoe and shell,

bullets and rusted bayonets, and on rare occasions a moldering skull and other bones. From Germanna ford to Spottsylvania Court Houso is one long battlefield. All the land is still aglow with the romance of the conflict, and owing to the poverty of tho soil, which is for the most part a reddish clay thickly sown with coarse iron gravel and white flint stones, nine-tenths of the country remains exactly as the armies left it.

In the minds of the old residents every hill has its tragio story and ever hollow its case of rcmarkablo escape or recovery from dreadful wounds. In every secluded nook noted men died, at every spring they point out where the wounded crawled by scores into the stream in the agonies of thirst, in every thicket they find the scene of some savage hand to hand encounter, and everywhere they point out how the tide of battle ebbed and flowed and how all these slopes and hollows, now so peaceful, were then the theater of wholesale, continuous and reciprocal murder. Every house is a museum. Every matron who was then a maiden has her own story of finding and aiding some wounded man, and many of thorn love to toll how the soldier returned long years afterward and renewed in peace the acquaintance thus made.

Across Country.

I have said that ono could walk all day in one general direction upon breastworks, but I should add that he would frequently have to crawl or cut his way through tangled vinos and low hanging brush, for the contral part of the great battlefield, extending seven or eight miles southward from the road which runs due westward from Fredericksburg, is rightly named the Wilderness. As I walked slowly southward through this forest I emerged occasionally upon a little opening where the line of old locust trees and an occasional post indicated a former dwelling house, yard and garden, but all around were breastworks or rifle pits, and the ragged and sickly appearance of the locusts showed that they had barely survived their many battle wounds. Here and there, too, is a depression containing a few acres of fertile land and the rudo cabin of a negro family, from which the children rush out, not unlike scared rabbits, to gaze at the passing stranger in a way that clearly shows that visitors are rare. I confess to a considerable fear of the dogs, of which each negro family owns from 2 to 15, and quite as much of the very long horned cattle which browse in tho woods, for this is the season when young calves are lying around, and it is the custom of a "scrub" cow whose calf is disturbed to hook first and consider the matter later.

Many romantic stories are told, of which one interested me very much. A Massachusetts soldier who carried a gold watch fell wounded beside an immense log on the highest sand ridge. Seeing that his command was retreating, he buried his gun and watch under the log. When the great reunion was held here a few years ago, he succeeded in finding the place, and the log had decayed so slowly as to keep the ground under it quite dry. He found his watch in such good preservation that it resumed business after being cleaned, and the writing on the paper he wrapped round it was still partially legible. The stock of his gun, however, was completely rotted away and the metal very rusted, but he fondly declared that there was not enough money in New1 York to buy it. It is related, however, that very few of the soldiers could locate tho places where their most exciting experiences took place, as their minds at that time were not on the features of the landscape.

Frightful Death Roll.

Of course I am not going to write the history of these battles, though, in my humble opinion, it has not yet been done, but before I mention them in the order of my tramp I will emphasize the general statement above by giving the bare flguros and the lowest estimates at that. I lump the losses, but the curious reader can find the proportion of killed, wounded and captared in the regular records: At Fredericksburg the Federals loit 12,353 and the

Confederates 4,576 at Chancellorsville the respective losses were 17,030 and 12,281 in the Wilderness, all battles, they were 37,757 and 11,400, and at Spottsylvania Court House, including the bloody angle, they were 26,461 and 9,250. Add for the minor engagements, and it will appear that simply in crossing this county Burnside, Hooker and Grant lost about 95,000 men, while their opponents lost but 39,000. This inequality of slaughter increased with every move farther south until, at Cold Harbor, Grant lost 13,931 and Lee but 1,720. Then the frightful system of hurling solid columns headforemost on breastworks was abandoned, but that is beyond the scope of this letter.

At Fredericksburg I walked along the famous sunken road from which the Confederates shot down about 8,000 of our men, they losing but half as many hundreds. It was only when they came out and made a flank charge that their losses were heavy. It is now so concealed by new buildings and orchards that one cannot see the entire sweep which the shot must have had, but even now it is hard for a common man to understand how a military man could have thought it possible to capture such a position held by skilled riflemen. Above the road at the south end rises the hill, now a beautiful national cemetery. In it lie the remains of 15,285 soldiers, of whom 12,795 are unknown. All around the hillsides are beautifully terraced, and there is but a small area level on top, for the cemetery covers but 12 acres, but it is as beautiful as any in the country. The present superintendent is Lieutenant Thomas D. McAlpine, a wounded veteran of tho Second Massachusetts infantry.

A Deal of Lying.

Taking up my line of march westward, four miles brought me to Salem church, which still bears marks of Sedgwick's battle, and tlience I visited in turn Chancellor houso, the Jackson monument and the location of tho various headquarters of the generals of the Eleventh corps, about which there has been so much dispute. To satisfy my own mind I estimated the distance from house to house and from General Devon's lino to the woods from which Stonewall Jackson issued. I am forced to one of two conclusions, both very unpleasant—either I am entirely incapable of understanding an official account of a battle or else there has been a deal of frightful lying about Chancellorsville. And I think I may say, as Congressman Walker of Massachusetts said in his last speech on the banking bill, that "I am not tho stupidest man in the world either."

I do not know how many miles it is northwest from the Jackson monument to Germauna ford, for one is compelled to walk a long way round, but not far south of tho ford I found the open region where Grant began his long and bloody battle. And, what interested mo equally as much, I found gold mining in act vo and, according to the miners, very successful operation. Tho idea of there being rich placer mines in this part of the world wn.s one I found it hard to accept, but the men certainly are getting out gold, and they say that they are making much better wages than they could at tiny thing else and think with proper machinery an immense product could be returned. Just south of the placers is a sort of oasis in the general barrenness—half a dozen or more good farms, covering perhaps 1,000 acres of cleared land. In it-are the original Wilderness store and postoiiice, and at tho west end of the Chancellorsville battlefield is the old Wilderness church which first gave name to the region. That church is still worth visiting, for it is an almost perfect reproduction of the old English country church and surroundings. There are the same groves and heavy sward a solemn, restful quiet secluded walks and rustic gateway, which seems a thousand years old. It is said that tho original church was built in 1776, but it has been so extensively repaired that it may be called new.

Here, as in many other places in Virginia, I am very much struck with tho contrast between tho country and the people. Two-thirds of this county consists of land which our western farmers would call "scandalously poor," and yet the country pooplo live remarkably well. In ict, I do not just now remember any rural region where the general tone of living is higher. The dwellings are neat and the surroundings generally attractive, the food is of the best and well cooked, and, unlike tho western farmers, the people generally liavo secured for themselves such luxuries as ice, the finer kind of standard groceries and other things usually found only in towns. There is a general air of refinement, and in many of tho houses one finds considerable libraries. Hero, however, as everywhere else in the south, I notice that the books are odd standard English, with very rarely indeed any of tho late novels or scientific works. J. H. BEADLE.

Interviewed a Man With Tremens. A journalistic feat of no little novelty has just been accomplished at Vienna, where a reporter succeeded in having an Interview with a man suffering from delirium tremens. The result of the experiment throws even Zola's description of Coupeau in tho shade. Tho patient, a broken down actor, declared that ho was Baron Rothschild, and that his constant craving for dainty dishes made it necessary that he should take weekly trips across the ocean to New York, a city built on beer bottles, unfortunately all empty. Drinks were not to be had in New York, and therefore he was obliged to take as much as he could carry before starting in his balloon, and from which he shot flies, Benedictine rabbits and other game, which wero brought to the car by flying retrievers. Tho man is now an inmate of the Metropolitan hospital at Vienna. si1 a ,St Queer Fish Bones.

A curious freight which is shipped exclusively from San Francisco to China is "fish bono," which pays |20 a ton. It is sent in large boxes consigned to tho Tung Wah hospital at Hongkong, but the contents of the boxes are really the bodies of dead Chinamen sent home for burial. Most of the Chinamen who como to tho United States are under tho care of the Six Companies, who sign a contract guaranteeing to return the bones of the dead for burial with their ancestors in the Celestial empire, and tho Tung Wah hospital acts as the agent on this side in carrying out the agreement. They are shipped as "fish bones" in order to evado the rule of the steamship companies, who charge full first class passenger rates for the dead. «&•,.>£

To Prevent a Hydrophobia Epidemic. To prevont further troublo by reason of the havoc played by tho mad dog in Soneca township, O., a few days ago, tho township trustees ordered William Kellar, who lost 19 sheep by hydrophobia, to kill the remainder of his flock of 72 old sheep and 85 lambs. This caused a loss of 1600 to Mr. Kellar, and the county will have to stand it. The trustocs also ordered that the carcasses of tho animals be burned, the ashes buried and the field plowed in which they had boep pastured.

Among all the structures thatjnake up the human body, the nerves have been until recently the least understood.

The role of the nerves in the digestion and assimilation of ftod is a highly important one. The question whether the food shall nourish or become a mere load npon the system is a question of nerve force.

Neglect to satisfy the demands made by the nervous system carries heavy penalties. When this nervous force is exhausted the disgestive processes are obstructed, the body is weakened and pains of neuralgia, indigestion, rheumatism, invade its parts. During repose the nerves and great nerve centers feed upon the nutritive matarial that is stored in the blood and tissues. It is when this supply of nourishment is prompt and abundant tha^ the nerveus system is able to recuperate, but when the system has become too tired to appropriate sufficient nourishment and the nerves too shaky to get the the rest they need, that best of all blood purifiers, nerve foods, and nerve regulators, Paine's celery compound, should be given at once.

centers do not permit snfU-ient sleep, nervous prostration, lassitude and desponency are sure t© fol'o.v. Paine's celery compound guards against all this by promptly feeding the exhausted nerves aud making the blood pure, abundant, and nourishing. It cures uxraglia, rheumatism, all forms of nervous weaknees, despondency, skin diseaae, and affections of the heart, liver and kidneys. It sends pure, vitalized blood to every organ,and thus makes people well. Paine's ce'ery compound has found its way originally through prescreptions by physicians, into every city and smallest village in the country.

It would be very difficult to find a man or women of mature ag^ who ha^ not either been helped by this remarkable remedy or has heard of its marvelous prop erties at firsthand from some enthsiastic friends or relative. Paine's celery compound is the only great popular remedy that pkysicans of every school prescribe for disorders of the blood and nerves.

Say Mrs. Kate Manuel, 216}4 8rd ave Minneapolis, whose picture is above: "I have been greatly benefited by Paine's celery compound. I have taken six bottles of the wonderful remedy, and recommend it to all who are aflloted as I *vas.
