whose wife was a daughter of Gen. Thomas Pinckney. His father, who was aide-de-camp to General Wilkinson in 1800, and adjutant-general in the war of 1812, suffered imprisonment in Austria for assisting in the liberation of Lafayette from the fortress of Olmutz; his grandfather, Benjamin Huger, was a famous revolutionary patriot, killed before Charleston during the British occupation; and his great-great-grandfather was Daniel Huger, who fled from France before the revocation of the edict of Nantes and died in South Carolina in 1711. General Huger was graduated at West Point in 1825, with a lieutenancy in the Third artillery. He served on topographical duty until 1828, then visited Europe on leave of absence; after being on ordnance duty a year was promoted captain of ordnance in 1832, a department of the service in which he had a distinguished career. He was in command of Fortress Monroe arsenal twelve years, was member of the ordnance board seven years, and one year was on official

Jenkins, United Confederate Veterans, at Bamberg, and is also a member of the Masonic fraternity. Major Theodore Gaillard Barker, formerly of the staff of Lieut.--Gen. Wade Hampton, was born at Charleston, August 24, 1832. His father was Samuel Gaillard Barker, a prominent attorney, merchant and planter, who was the son of a native of Rhode Island. His grandmother Gaillard, was a descendant of Pierre Gaillard, a Huguenot who fled from France in 1685, after the revocation of the edict of Nantes, and settled in South Carolina. He was graduated at the South Carolina college in 1849, and subsequently, until he attained the years necessary for admission to the bar, read law in the office of Judge Robert Munro. He was engaged in the practice of his profession at Charleston from 1853 until December, 1860, when upon the secession of the State he entered the military service as adjutant of the First regiment, South Carolina rifles, commanded by Col. J. J. Pettigrew. In this capacity he

should not have started on such an adventure. Certainly, unless induced by some powerful scientific motive, I should not advise any one to follow my example. On this perilous journey he traced the laminated structure to a depth of eighty feet, and even beyond, though with less distinctness. The summer closed with their famous ascent of the Jungfrau. The party consisted of twelve persons: Agassiz, Desor, Forbes, Heath, and two travelers who had begged to join them,—M. de Chatelier, of Nantes, and M. de Pury, of Neuchatel, a former pupil of Agassiz. The other six were guides; four beside their old and tried friends, Jacob Leuthold and Johann Wahren. They left the hospice of the Grimsel on the 27th of August, at four o'clock in the morning. Crossing the Col of the Oberaar they descended to the snowy plateau which feeds the Viescher glacier. In this grand amphitheatre, walled in by the peaks of the Viescherhorner, they rested for their midday meal. In crossing these fields of

ry, and after all we would only get cast-off vessels. I, make these remarks as the result of experience, for I have had propositions from many persons, and I know wherein they are all wanting. The construction of the corvettes at Bordeaux and Nantes, and the two ironclad vessels, progressed rapidly, and for some months there did not arise any question which suggested a doubt in regard to the purposes of the Imperial government in respect to their departure when completed. On the 23d of Noveor, who rated him severely, threatened imprisonment, ordered him to sell the ships at once, bond fide, and said if this was not done he would have them seized and taken to Rochefort. Captain Tessier also brought me word that the two corvettes at Nantes were ordered to be sold, and the builders of those ships sent me by him a copy of the letter of the Minister of Marine conveying the order to them. The order is of the most peremptory kind, not only directing the sale, but requiring the builders

David Waller Chenault was born in Madison County, Ky., February 5, 1826, the son of Anderson Chenault and Emily Cameron, his wife. Through his father he was descended from Estenne Chenault, a native of Languedoc, France, who, in company with many other Huguenots, was obliged to leave France after the revocation of the edict of Nantes, and in 1700 settled in Virginia. Colonel Chenault's grandfather, William Chenault, a soldier of the Revolutionary War, was among the first settlers of Kentucky and lived and died on a farm near Richmond that he bought in 1878, from George Boone, a brother of Daniel Boone. Through his brother, Colonel Chenault was descended from Robert Cameron, of Inverness, Scotland, who fought under his chieftain, Cameron of Lochiel, at the battle of Culloden, in 1745, after which he made his way to Conn<

Probably about 1740, common snakes were so abundant and annoying, that the farmers met, and appointed a day for a general snakehunt and extermination.—Letter of Mr. John Brooks Russell. Mr. Russell adds: A French Protestant Refugee, who visited Boston and vicinity to investigate the facilities for settling a French Colony in 1687, after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes (quoted in Shurtleff's Boston, p. 61), in speaking of the soil, climate and natural history of Boston and neighboring towns, says, We have plenty of rattlesnakes, but they have not yet come out. There are also a great many small snakes, three inches round, and long in proportion: they are to be seen seven or eight together. They flee from man, and it doth not seem that they harm any body. 1741 Some remarks found in Rev. Samuel Cooke's diary for January in this year are interesting:

He explained that the Americans hesitated about a declaration of independence, and an appeal to France; that the British king had not as yet done them evil enough; that they still waited to have more of their towns destroyed and more of their houses burned, before they would completely abhor the emblems of British power; that a brig was despatched to Nantes for munitions of war, and an arrangement made for purchasing the same articles of France by way of St. Domingo; that skilful engineers were much wanted; that everybody in the colonies appeared to have turned soldier; that they had given up the English flag, and had taken for their devices, a rattlesnake with thirteen rattles, and a mailed arm holding thirteen arrows. The communications of the French agent to the secret committee were not without influence on the proceedings of congress; i

years war, Brandenburg had for its elector, Prussia for its duke, a prince by birth and education of the reformed church, trained in the republic of the Netherlands.

Consciences, he owned, belong to God; no worldly potentate may force them. Pfleiderer's Leibnitz, 523. So when the revocation of the edict of Nantes, in October, 1685, drove out of France a half million of the best of the French nation, the noble company of exiles found a new country, partly with the Great Elector, and partly with the Protestant colonies in America. The same revolution of 1688, which excluded Papists from the throne of England, restored liberty to the colonies in America, and made it safe for the son of the Great Elector to crown himself on his own soil as king of Prussia. As the elector of Saxony had meantime renoun

who fell after having received two bayonet and four gunshot wounds. The Freeman's Journal publishes an obituary notice of the young "martyr," from which it appears that he was only 22 years of age. Says the Journal: "Our sorrow for his sad fate is mingled with horror at the treachery to which he and many more of his companions in arms have fallen victims. There was a wide-spread defection on the part of the Italian troops, in the Pontifical service. Com. Bedelievre, in a letter addressed to the 'Esperance,'published at Nantes, states that the 2d regiment of Chasseurs (Italians) not only fired on the foreign levies that went into action with them, but also on the aides-de-camp whom General Pimodan sent to disarm them. The Italian artillerymen (so we are informed by a private letter,) abandoned their guns. All the Pontifical cavalry fled, leaving only eighty of the Guides of Lamoriciere (all Frenchmen,) to cover the retreat of the defeated forces from the field of battle."
