Steamboat and Mill Supplies. BATTLE ANNIVERSARY1 The Daughters of the American Revolution Celebrate the Battle of Great Bridge. "THE HEROINES OF THE REVOLUTION." Mr. Robert SI. Hughes Delivered ft Flue Address, In Whicli Ho Telia or the Heroism ?Upluyed by the Women of the Period?A Large Number Present. The rooms of Great Bridge Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, at No. 126 Granby street, presented an animated scene yesterday from 4 to 7 p. m. It was the occasion of the cele? bration of the anniversary of the bat? tle of Great Bridge and between the hours named the ladles held a recep? tion, serving tea, chocolate and lcea to many callers. The rooms wore hand? somely decorated with flags and lighted with wax candles, while around the walls hung colonial portraits. Even the tea tables were set with colonial china ware. After the reception Mr. Robert M. Hughes delivered an address on "He? roines of the Revolution." in which he paid a high compliment to the valor of woman during the dark days of u hundred years ago. He was Introduced by Mrs. Phil. Yeatman, secretary of the chapter. Mr. Hughes recounted In ancedotal style a few exploits of the revolutionary women, which serve to add lustre to the period and brighten the pages of our national story not leas than the laurel-crowned heroes who led our armies and the obscure privates whose gallantry and endurance placed those laurels upon their brows. In the course of iris address, Mr. Hughes said: '?When we walk through the Capitol grounds at Richmond we see among the figures around the Washington statue, Thomas Nelson Immortalized in bronze. His lofty patriotism levelled cannon tit his own residence when occupied by the British officers at the siege of "York town. He Is entitled to all the honor which a grateful country can bestow, yet he only Imitated the unselfishness of Mrs. Motte. Her house was occupied as a British OUtpqst, nnil when the ! Americans besieged It, she furnished them with the arrows and tow by which they were enabled to set fire to the rcof and capture Its garrison. {" "But the woman did not shrink from extreme peril to serve their country. I.;. ilia Dorrngh riding alone through the darkness of night and braving the perils ?.f Ulillsll outposts and the fate of a spy In case of discovery, to warn the patriot army of impending danger, Mrs. Itrattcn Illing a magazine with her own hands to save It from the approaching foe. were, after all, but types. When ccaslon demanded, feminine Ingenuity was always ready to supplement mas? culine valor. "in one section of the country the risks end demands upon the women were hardly less than lipon the men. I allude to our Western frontier. There , nature has been prodigal of her choicest gifts, and the tourist little thinks that every acre of that bountcoun land was won from a mereilesH foe. whose war ; fare was extermination regardless of jage or sex. whose tnctlcs were not the roldler's light In open field. but the skurk'ng ambuscade ami the midnight surprise. Into that region the settler penettsted, rltle In bund. First til tuck? ing the giants of the forest, he clears a breulhing space and garden and util? ize.', the timber to erect a log cabin with clap boards for its roof and a short mud-daubed chimney as Its only ipcrture. Proud that he is at lost a free-holder, lie returns to the settlement and does not hesitate to take his wife into the wilderness to share his la? bors and perils. But the very smoke which attests her house-wifely care at? tracts the attention of a foe whose eyes are as keen as their tomahawks, the allies of Ills most Christian Majes? ty, (borge III., whose Canadian repre? sentative. Hamilton, the hair-buyer, pays as high prices for female ns for male scalps. And soon the pioneer In his new home Is welcomed by the clamor of n baud of howling demons, whose proffered quarter Is but a device to gain safe admittance for their murderous purposes. If he has constructed his hut hi the style shown by experience best calculated for defense, bis answer Is the crack of rifles aimed not only by himself, but by his wife as well, hardly ley-s skillful than he in dealing death to their red-skin foe. Indeed, occasions were not infrequent r'''e?>? th?? ???????? defense of home and children devolved upon the w"e. One of the most won? derful was the exploit of Mrs. Merrill. One nicht while quietly reposing with her husband and small children. In their lonely cabin on the outskirts of civilisa? tion, n noise was heard without. Her husband, on opening the door to ascer? tain the cause, fell desperately wounded and entirely disabled. She dragged him Inside and then, arming herself with an axe. awaited at the half-closed floor the approach of the murderers. As they attempted singly to force their Way lii through the crack, she killed five In 'tfn.ns In succession. The remaining three concluded that the chimney wa nn easier way of entering that house than the door. Detecting this by the noise, she stuffed a matress up the fire? place and smothered two more by the smoke. The sole survivor vanished into the darkness, leaving the victor In that midnight combat, surrounded by seven dead enemies, and a desperately wound? ed husband. "The feat of Mrs. Rozarth was simi? lar. In an attack on her house the In? dians, forcing an entrance, killed one of the men there and disabled the other. In the melee she snatched up an axe and killed the two Indians who had entered. Another, with more curiosity than discretion, thrust his head In at the door, and the axe, In the hands of this Intrepid woman, at once split It open. The survivors fled, defeated by a woman. "Near Frankfort, Ky? lived two broth? ers, named Cook. The Indians, coming suddenly upon them, killed one In? stantly and so wounded the other that he expired as he entered the house. The newly-made widows bad bnrelv time to close the door when the Tndlans attempted to beat It In, but without success. They were made to take a re? spectful distance by the unerring rifle, which put one of them beyond capacity for further mischief, whereupon they endeavored to set fire to the roof, but one of the women, regardless of their guns climbed up and extinguished the flames, first with water and then with broken eggs. Their courajro was at lencth rewarded by tho retreat of the savages. "After the cabins thickened and set? tlers multiplied, the fort- arose as the next evolution of the .frontier. The smaller of these were.log block-houscR, constructed as strongly, as possible, the larger a collection -w block-houses join? ed by heavy stockades. These were in? tended m havens' of refuge, and Into them on the first alarm the settlers Hocked with their wives and children. As they were nearly always located in small clearing:', no one knew ut what moment a mob of blood-thirsty red? skins might emerge from the depths of the forest. Placed necessarily on com? manding ground, they were destitute of water, for an Indian army never bad supplies and could only continue a siege for a few days. Yet on their strength depended the lives of all the Bottlers for miles around, whether male or female, young or old. "Let us Imagine that outrunners have brought Intelligence of nn approaching force. All at once Is bustle. The men labor to remove everything within rifle range which might give shelter to an enemy. The women arm themselves with buckets and proceed to and from the Bprlng, filling everything In the fort with water, sufficient not merely for domestic uses, but also to fight the fires that their adversaries will certain? ly endeavor to kindle on their buildings. If the savages are nearer than is sup? posed, they may burst from the forest at any moment upon those gallant women wlKn furthest from the fort. This perilous tnsk accomplished safely, the women and older children assume the task of cleaning the rifles, and mould a plentiful supply of bullets for the gar? rison. The preparations are scarce com? plete when hundreds of howling devllH leap from the woods and begin the at? tack. The men take their place at the port-holes and meet the onslaught with a steady (Ire. while right beside them stand the women loading the extra guns, cooling those overheated by rapid use. and often tubing the place of a disabled defender and directing a lire not less deadly. The baffled and decimated foe withdraws, and soon from a safe dis? tance arrows bear flaming tongues, which lick the roof and give a foretaste of the horrors of the slake. The women then repair to the lofi and light the flames: for the men must still guard the loop-holes to prevent a sudden rush and n-ake the besiegers keep their distance. Po it continues unlll the besiegers with? draw, dlscomfltted by the women not less than the men." It was an able effort on the pnrt of the speaker, who wns highly compli? mented. J A ?10XHTER Illl.L.
