The Sharp-Sheoters.

Many interesting stories are told Of the
sharp-shaoters while at Yorktown. A tall
rebel had frequently shown himself on the
enemy's works, Drawing the fire of the sharps
shooters. The other day he came outside
as usual, waving his hat, when two balls
went whizzing toward him, but fell short.
The rebel continued his observations.
Meanwhile messenger was dispatched for
telescopic target rifle known to be in the
hands of sharp-shooter, and Col, Berdan
and ore of his officers, accompanied by two
OF his men, walked out to see the result as
one would go 10 bear hunt. Arrived at
the point designated, the seven-footer was
still there. when The owner of the rife drew
up at arms length, and the moment the
muzzle fell so as 10 cover his heart the hair
trigger was touched and the tauntipg foe
fell without a struggle. A sk;rmish ensu-
ed, our sharp-shooters trying TO prevent the
rebels from recovering the body, and 1t was
finally left outside until nighifall.
The rebels had negro sharp4shooter
who has much annoyed our men. His habit
has been TO perch himself in a big tree, and,
keeping himself hid behind the body, annoy
cur men by firing upon them. He climbed
The tree one morning in advance of the 9TH

as he came out, but avoided shooting, SO as
not to alarm the others. His tree was ab-

Scene on an Egyptian Railroad,

At last, out Of the intense white sunshine
into the shadowy station comes tie sluggish
train, slow and sombre as any fresh puntful
of ill-starred dead arriving in Hades. No
busy bell rings. There is no sign of any
real guards to marshall passengers. A
young man, in bright red fex and bright
er sash than his companions opens the car
rage-door, and that is all. / see no one in
my Garage but two Cairene youths, and an
old imperturbable Turk in red turned-up
slippers and sweiIering curry -powder-eol-
ored pelisse--a great Turk, with grizzly
beard and huge seelingwax-looking sig
net-ring, mounted in silver, on the rugose
fore-fineer of his right hand. In wash
leather bag in the breast pocket Of his third
jacket, he carries a large chased gold watch,
to which he occasionally applies his tawny
old eyes. The boys are limp pert hubblede-
hoys, in Geek dress, whose whole attention
seems absorbed by the cotton fields we pass.
The blue gowns and bare feet, the water
jugs, and palm mats, and prayer carpets,
and tins, and brass walters, are all slowed
away. The ibises, whittier than letter-paper,
wade in the creeks; the vuliure whrls and
poises in the sky; the crows croak under
the feather umbrellas of the palms; the
brown children, clothed only in sunshine,
roll and play about the mudfort villages
where the pigeons veer gray and white in
the shifting clouds, and where the palm
trees rise in thickest columns everywhere
through tie soft, black mud of the newly
subsided Nile rises the sharp, green corn
blade. All Egypt wears the prophets fa-
vorite and sanctified color. The Arabs in
the train are just getting into social con-
dition--for every Egyptian is by birthright
courteous, affable, and gracious in manner
though he may be envious, greedy, and slip,

newly escaped slave about him. The Arab

ture fond of hearing poems read over his

we want an example of heroic womanhood
and motherhood, we should refer 10 Sparta
What was the stolid heroism ofihe heather
woman, ru tured for the state, to the self
sbnegating patriotism of the American
mother, whose heroic faith is the glory of
the Christian home? Among the Vermont
braves who forded Warwick creek to be
shot down in its waters; who held the enc
my's rifle pits in sheet of fame against
feightful odds, tell a boy of nineteen, the
oldest son of a widow. A few years ago
she was left in an abscure nook Of northern
Vermont, with five children dependent up
on her eSertion for support. BY rigid
economy and unceasing toll, she was enabl-
ed TO feed, cktbe and educate them without
any assistance from others. From the COM
mepcement Of the war she has manifested
that zeal and devotion to her country which
has been shown in such an eminent degree
by the women of New England. Though
she labored for herself and for others, she
yet found time every week to walk three
miles to the nearest village, there to unite
her Efforts with those of the ladies who
worked for the volunteers. AT last re-
cruiting officer ceme and asked her for a
| soldier. She gave her two Oldest sons, ac-
compsnying them herself to the village at
midnight, for they were to go at break of
day. But the officer came againi then she
gave her last, her young gest boy. She took
him, too 20 the village, and with her parting
blessing, said: " Remember you are a
Green Mountain boy, and must never sur
render" Then she turned her face in the
\ gray light toward her deserted home and
her two little girls. The young boy and
his brother still serve in the ranks, but the
oldest, he whose brave young hfe went down

Resol,-ed, That the issiies involved in the
Nations struggle with ARMED rebellion are
of higher moment than any question OF or

Then the man lies awake all night, sleeps a
few hours on Monday morning, and on Mon
day afternoon or Tuesday wakes up in the
purgatory of minister's Blue Monday. This
is charmingly entitled day of rest And
like to it is the service OF many man and
woman, overtasked in brain and nerve all
the week, and then, on the day of rest,
working harder than any other day of the

so arranged that the overwoIked are taxed
still more, and the indelent do nothing at
all. They rest who should work and they
work who should rest. There is vast
