Heroic Adventures.


SERGEANT ". B. Ware, of squadroa 3,
Wisconsin Cavalry, Colenel Daniels and pri-
vate ITCabe Of squadron a, We're out last
week on a scouting expedition i'll Arkansas
several miles below Hornersyille, when they
were suddenly pounced upon by a squad OF
rebels. AFCabe succeeded in escaping; but
Sergeant Ware was captured and started for
the rebel camp prisoner At night the
party stopped for rest, and Ware was placed
under a guard Of four men, two on duty
while the other two slept close at hand. he
was deprived of all his clothing excepting
his shirt, sHd mGorted with the assurance
that the Bext day, on their arrival at camp,
he should be hung. They also informed him
that DR.. Gregory was murdered by them, and
exhibited what they purported to be the iden-
teal gun which sent the fatal ball-All of
which must have been decidedly comforting.
During the night one of the guards whose
duty it was to keep awake fell into doze,
and Ware, watching for an opportunity seiz-
ed two guns belonging to the Sleepers, when
the only guard awake had his attention drawn
to something else than his regular business,
and cooking one of the guns. he aimed it at
the breast of the only wakeful guard, coOlly
informing him that if he made the least alarm
death should be his portion. With his gun
thus leveled on the HstOnished guard, Ware
commenced backing off, which operation was
continued until he thoughts it safe to turn and
run, and then be made the best possible uEs
of his nude lower limbs. The time he made
for short distance would undoubtedly have
been an honor to either JEFF Thompson or
General Price Finding the weight Of two
guns too much for him on this rapid retreat,
he broke up the poorest one against tree.
The one he saved and brought in is tho gun
that was said to have killed DR.. Gregory,
On the approach of morning Ware went into
house and pressed into service a pair Of
pants. In this novel lstyle-barefOoted, bare
headed and coatless--he made his way through
woods and swamps for distance of twenty
five miles, and at least arrived safely-where
he was considered lost-at the camp Of his
own squadron. His safe return was greeted
with many demonstrations of joy, and he
now enjoys the attention genuine hero msr-
It's. This truthful narrative Of Wares sdvsn-
lures deserves circulation in preference to the
numerous fiction not half as strange.

How SNAns MAKE LoyE.-BlackWood's

Of ceutipede, or vagrant snt-bOth shell and

which Archimedes might have studied with
delight, had there been any conchologists in

king love, which shows it to have doubtless
been the origin of the arrows of Cupid. The
male is a pattern lover. He will spend ten
hours at time-a good deal out Of his short
life Of seven or eight years-in the most quiet
but devoted attention to the object Of his
affections; caressing her occasionally with
those pretty little horns, Of which no one
seems to know whether they are eyes, or ears,
or hands. They are furnished, too, with crys-
taline darts, with which they shoot at each
other after preliminary cOquettings. These
curious love-weapons have been observed
sticking in the bodies of snails after such con-
aicts. They are contained in special pouch
or receptacle ready for use, and resemble the
ancient arrows of Cupid

visit 70 the Eavy-Yard.

~ E-a-H....--s- - 81 EtasElE ..l.- "l-
BY invitation of weI-known official, l
visited the Navy-Yard yesterday, and wit
messed the trial of some newly-invepted riff
ed cannon The trial was of short duration,
and the jury brought in verdict Of " inno-
cent Of any intent to Kill" -i 7''a' ..-.
The frst gun tried was similar to those
used in the Revolution, except that it had
large touoh-hole, and the Garage was painted
green, instead of blue. This novel and in
genious weapon was pointed at target about
sixty yards distant. 1t didn't hit it, and as
nobody saw the ball, there was much perplexi-
ty expressed A rnidshipman did say that
he thought the ball must have run out of the
touch-hole when they loaded np-for which
he was instantly expelled from the service.
Alter long search without finding the ball,
there was some thought of summoning the
Naval Retiring Board to decide on the mat
ter, when somebody happened to look intO
the mouth of the cannon, and discovered that
the ball hadn't gone out at all The inventor
said this would happen sometimes, especially
if you didn't put brick over the touch-hole
when you fred the gun. The Government
was SO pleased with this explanation, that it
ordered forty of the guns on the spot, at two
hundred thousand dollars apiece. The guns
to be furnished as soon as the war is over.
The next weapon tried was Jink's double
back-acting revolving cannon for ferry-boats.
It consists Of a heavy bronze tube, revolving
on pivot, with both ends open, and touch
hole in the middle While one gunner puts
load in at one end, another puts a load
in at the other end, and one toach-hole
serves for both. Upon applying the match,
the gun is whrIed swiftly round on a pivot
and both balls fly out in circles, causing great
slaughter on both sides. This terrible engine
was aimed at the target with great,accnracy /;
but as the gunner has large family depend
ent on him for support, he refused to apply
the match The Government was satisfied
without firing, and ordered six Of the guns
at million Of dollars apiece. The guns to

The last weapon subjected to trial was a
mountain howitzer Of new pattern. The
inventor explained that its great advantage
wss, that it required no powder In battle
it is placed on the top Of Ligh mountain,
aud ball slipped loosely into it. As the
enemy passes the foot of the mountain, the
gunner in-charge tips over the howitzeF and
,hs ball rolls down the side of the mountain
into the midst of the doomed foe. The range
of this terrible weapon depends greatly on
the height Of the mountain and the distance
to It's base. The Government ordered forty
ofithese mountain howitz5rs at a hundred
thousand dollars apiece, to be planted on the
drst mountains discovered in the enemy's
country. .r- -..r. .a.5 a--s .rss.
These are great times for gunsmiths, my

GALLAErsr OF CHICAGO OFHCER.-The
Tennessee correspondent Of the Detroit Free
Press recites the gallant action Of ayoung
Chicago officer, which, in the midst Of incl
dents occurring in the same quarter inyOlv-
ing dastsrdly conduct deserves especial no
tice. This letter says:
Lieut.. Bell, of the 10Th Ilinois-with forty
men-while in command Of stockads near
Pulaski, was surrounded by 400 guerriIlas--
in the woodland in reply TO demand for
surrender said, O. have with me forty fight
ing men, who have 1000 rounds of ammuni-
ton, and fsrty trusty guns. I have an abun-
dance of rations, and when these and the
courage Of my men fails them, will think Of
your proposition" He replied to their offer
to parole all officers and men, that parolng
was about played out" and invited them to
the attack. They retired, however, and after
firing one bridge, fell back six miles to anoth-
er, and laying in wait for small train with
eighty soldiers aboard. After firing into it
and killing four and wounding seven, they
cut down the bridge behind it, and following
it to the smoldering remains of the burned
bridge, attacked it, and after a severe fight
were compelled to skedaddle, with loss of
twenty, and on our part loss of nine killed
and wounded.
The officer here mentioned is Lieut.. Vim
cent Y. Bell, Of Company Z, Of the invincibls
18th H., a son of Judge D. V. Bell, Of Chica-
%. who has four more sons "of the same
Sort in the army of freedom. This Is "Bell

at would seem from this ascent hot fire
miles from Ee earth is very nearly t5e limit of
human esisisnes 1t is possible, as the effect
Of each high ascent upon myself has been
different, that on another occasion I might be
able to go higher, and it is possible that some
persons may be able to exist with less air
and bear greater degree of cold; but sell I
think that prudence would say to ell, when
ever the barometer reading falls as low as
II inches, open the valve at once; the in
creased information to be obtained is not
commensurate with increased risk r.
During the ascent Mr.. Glaisher attempted
to take photograph of the scene below,
which he described as being very beautiful
bat the immense velocity of the balloon dur
ing the ascent rendered this impossible. g.
The London Times, commenting upon this
perilous enterprise, observes: rt
The aerial voyage just performed by Mr
Coxwell and Mr. Glalsher deserves to rank
with the greatest feats of our experimental
izers, diScoTerers and travellers. 1t is true
these gentlemen have not brought down q
very comfortable or inspiring report Of the
upper world into which they have penetrated.
Science and poetry are unhappily rather al
variance upon the subject of the air and the
sky. Poetry points up to the sky with glow
ing rapture as the scene Of brightness and
glory, and a residence there figures as the
reward OF heroism and greatness. Everything
is happy and splendid that is connected with
the sky. But science peneuates with its ma
terial eye into these vast upper spaces, and
simply reports great difficulty of breathing
| there; thst the blood stagnates, the limbs be-
come beuumbed, the senses evaporate, and
nature fsints in Inconsistencies. The very
birds viii not fy in that very sky which is
their poetical home. The distinction is that
poetry looks up to the SKY from below, and
science examines and feels it on level The
sky is the emblem OF poetry, lie fact Of sci
enee. Both aspects Of it are equally true,
but the point of veiw from which they are
taken is quite different. But, though cur
recent exploIers Of the sky do not aid to its
tbriIiancy as a picture, they have furnished
one more. striker. and impressive scene to the
history, Of science. They have shown what
enthusiasm science can inspire, and what
courage it can give. If the man, as the poet
says, had need of triple steel about his breast
| who first lanehed boat into the sea, certain
/ ly those had 10 less need Of it who first float
ed in the air six miles above tie suriace CT
