To the strong and healthy country maiden who seeks not only self support, but greater excitement, every large city, with its wealth of trade and glittering show seems a mine ready to yield its rich ore. All kindsuf girls —«teady, earnest workersand giddy, thought­ less and dissatisfied village belles—throng the railway and steamboat stations, utterly inex penenced. often nearly penniless, alone and strangers. VVhat do they mean to do f Uni versally th« answer is, “Get work,” as if it were to be bad for the first asking To ob­ tain board “near by,” or to “work for board,” seems to their simple experience very easy to manage. But what are the factsl Arriving in the hurried, rushing crowd, no one meets them, no ont notices the bewildered, fright­ ened amazement at so many people, no one directs to the safe shelter of some Young Women’s Christian association or lodging house. Ah, yes! here are one or two to notice, this policeman or this hackman, with tbt badge of authority on his cap, comes politely to the comely maiden and offers to show her a respectable boarding house, kept by « kind landlady, at very cheap prices. And the unsuspecting girl gratefully accom panies ber guide, admiring the wonderful machinery of a great government, to—a house worse than death, from which she can never go out a pure, honest woman. And the hackman or policeman pockets <200 for his half hour’s trouble. This is painfully, terribly true. So true, that Christian women, slowly waking to the dreadful facts, have begun their work of op­ position. In Boston, the Y’oung Traveler’s Aid society provides for the distribution, on incoming trains and steamboat», of a printed «lip, bearing the words “lnqtortant Notice to Women/” telling of the lodging houses on Berkeley and Warrenton streets, connected with the Young Women's Christian associa­ tion. warning the travelers to “beware of in formation received from unreliable sources.” And to “And at the wharf a lady authorized to give information, wearing a blue badge, marked Boston Y M.

There are a good many people in Charlee­ ton, who had an intimate but somewhat un­ pleasant acquaintance with the Swamp AngeL One calm night in Al itigust, 1863, a It was a strange noise was beard in the «Ir. < noise that some people bad become familiar with, but one that to the women and chil­ dren in Charleston was entirely unknown. Some people compared it to the blast of the last trump, others to the howl of the hyena, and others to the concentrsted noise of 10,- 000 locomotives rushing through a tunnel in the air and condensed into a scream of the most barrowing Intensity. It was the first Swamp Angel messenger sent into Charleston by the late Gen. Gill- more. The watchman at St. Michael’s steeple sounded the alarm, and the firemen and other people hurried out in haste. The shell came from a uiaske«! battery, which Gan. Gillmore had erected in the marsh at the extreme south end of Morris Island, and on the southern borders of the creek which sepa­ rates Morris from Folly Island. In a straight Un. it was over five milee distant from the city. Tho battery had l>een constructed un­ der the greatest difficulties, and in what was considered an impossible place. The idea of a gun throwing a projectile a distance of five milee had not at that time penetrated the minds of the average public, and the arrival of the first messenger from the Swamp Angel was as unexpected as it was unpleasant. The battery was the famous Swamp AngeL It consisted of a single S-inrh Parrott rifle mounted in the marsh and surrounded by an earthwork of circular shape. It burst at the thirty-sixth round, and that ^waa the end of the Swamp Angel proper. After this the bombardment wua directed from the bat­ teries on Morris Island. It is said that the elevation of the guns was so great that they could only be used to fire a half dozen times, and as a matter of fact the people who re­ mained here during the bombarilment be­ came so accustomed to the sound that they could tell by the sound when a gun had burst. Gen. Gillmore’B gunners soon attained a wonderful accuracy in firing their guna It was said that the Swamp Angel shells were loaded with “Greek fire,” but this was never rerifled. Fires frequsntly occurred, and the firemen always promptly turned out, taking the chances of the shells. A fire at night in­ variably awoke the Swamp Angel to renewed activity The shells were sent in generally at an average rate of one every fifteen or twenty minutea Occasionally when a gun would burst there would be a suspension of operations at the Swamp Angel end of the line, sometimes for several days. This in­ variably followed a fire in the city. The light from the blaze would give the gunners at the Swamp Angel a good mark, and they would fire more rapidly, which probably cost them several guns, and then tbs people of Charles­ ton would have a rest until the burst guns wore replaced. The accuracy which the Swamp Angel gun­ ners attained was remarkable On one occa­ sion the buildings on Brown’s wharf wore tired during the day Tho fire department was promptly on the spot and set to work to extinguish the flamoa The building was on the water front, and the dense columns of smoke offered a splendid target to Gen. Oill- more’e marksmen. There aro perhaps a dozen men In Charleston today who will re­ call the Incident and who will testify to the tact that during the progress of that fire at least three shells were thrown into the burn­ ing building. The accuracy with which the riwamp Angel guns were fired. In fact, gave oolor to tho statenientsubsequently made that the gunners intentionally refrained from fir­ ing at St. Michael’s steeple, which was never bit during the entire two years of the bom­ bard menL Percussion shells were used by the Swamp Angel gunners for over a year. During this time the people of Charleston had abundant time to study the peculiarities of the percus­ sion Parrott shell. The shell, of course, could only be exploded when it came in con­ tact with a hard surface, and was, therefore, only dangerous under these conditions In nine cases out of ten a percussion shell that struck a wooden building simply buried itself in the earth and remained there. The only danger to life or limb, therefore, was in being struck by the shell on its passago, and most people soon learned to avoid this in 1804 there was a startling change in the condition of things. By this time those who were cornpellixl to remain in the city ha«l become used to the Swamp AngeL Up Co this time not more than two or three people bad been killed, notwithstanding tho fact that fully five thousand had been almost constantly under fire, to say nothing of tho exposure of tho firemen, who, besides doing military duty at night along the water front, were called upon frequently to subdue the Asmes in tbs shelled district On tho night of Sept 2, 1864, a building was fired In the lowu* wards The alarm was sounded, and •n five minutes the engines were on tbeir way to tlie scene of the conflagration. The boom of the alarm tall and ths bright glare of the fire Invariably caused the Swamp Angela to wake up and redouble their attentions to the "doomed city." An engine, the Phoenix, was on its way to tho fire, dragged by a dozen or more men. In Hayne street an obstacle was met A mes­ senger from the Bwamp Angel plunged Into the earth directly in front of the men, and making a bole six feet wide and an many feet deep, burled Itself In the ground A half do- can mon were precipitated into the r-xreva­ sion, and tho engine, “Old Betsey," followed suit The shell did not explode, however, end beyond several painful bruises nobody was hurt While the men were getting the dust oat of their eyee and trying to lift up “Old Betsey" the “boom" which signified the advent of an­ other messenger from the Swamp Angel was heard. Then every one stood still and list­ ened. A tew seconds after the boom came the peculiar and excruciating “whistle" which marked the passage of the messenger through ;h the air The whistle was not famil- lar There ----- > was an irdeecribable something about it that matio one shiver It was not tho old familiar percussion shell scream. A few momenta later and tho mystery was ex­ plained. Just as every one was “lying low," •waiting tho crash, there was another ex­ plosion very near, followed by a doeen baby screams and a dosen sharp reports, while a flash of light Illuminated the scene. Then It was realize«! that our friends, the enemy, wanted blood.
