How Jeb Stuart was Shot.

The 9th Michigan cavalry is in Custar's
brigade, and was with Sheridan on his recent
raid toward Richmond. A private, named
Dunn, belonging to Company A, OF the 9Th
Michigan, shot Gen. J. E. d. Stuart with
spencer long range" rife. While the 5.h
was under heavy IRE the Colonel's attention
was called TO the fact that a rebel General,
with considerable number of staff officers,
suddenly appeared in sight, and within reach
of the rifle. The Generals name was not
then known. One man OF the 9TH shot at him,
but missed. Dunn watched the shot, and in
stantly exclaimed; TOO high and too far to
the ieit." Say, old Dunn, what do you know
about shooting?' inquired another member.
Dunn replied that he served two years In the
"Berdan Sharpshooters," before he Joined the
9th. and took prize in Washington for the
best shot.
Tins was good news to the Colonel and
the men, and Dunn, supporting his words by
action, quietly stepped forward few feet and
resting his long-range rife upon fence fired,
and the supposed rebel General threw up both
hands, stretched out his arms, and fell from
his horse. At the same moment Dunn. turn
Ing to his Colonel, said: Colonel, there is a
spread eagle for you.' The men cheered
Dunn, who suddenly became great favorite
In the regiment. His name ran through Gus
tar's brigade. "Well done, good and faithful
or twelve men were seen to dismount and as
sist the wounded or killed rebel General.
The most intense anxiety was at once man.
Tested In Custar's brigade to learn the name
OF the General who was thus shot. Soon after
Custar became master of the very spot where
the man was hit, and the hill beyond, on the
summit of which lived an old colored woman.
Custer came TO halt near her house About
the door of the old woman's hut was a large
quantity Of fresh blood. Whose blood is that
Aunty9" inquired a Michigander, "That is
Gen. Stuart's blood. He was shot little time
since, right through the body. The ball en-
tered his right side and came out of his left.r
The old lady was questioned carefully to as
certain IL she knew Stuart herself and 1t was
found that she did.
The men doubted, nevertheless, because
Stuart had been reported killed so many times
before when he was not hurt. A few days
more passed when the Richmond papers
reached the command, giving detailed ac-
count OF the time, place and manner OF Stu
arts being shot, which conceded exactly with
the facts as they took place, as known TO the
regiment The same paper announced Stu
arts death. This removed all doubts. There
was no longer question that Stuart was
Dunn for.

SELEC TIONS.
A Noble Girl.

About year since temperance man
moved with his family from South Carolina to
the West. The spareness of the population,
and the continual travel past his place, rem
dered it necessary act OF humanity in hun,
-frequently to entertain travellers who could
get no farther.
Owing to the frequency of these calls, he
resolved to enlarge his house, and put up the
usual sign.
Soon after this an election came on I; the
triumphant party felt that it was wonderful
victory, aud some young bloods" of the ma
jority determined, 10 honor of it, to have
regular "blow out" Accordingly mounted on
their fine prairie horses, they started on a
long ride. Every tavern was visited OH their
route, and the variety thus drank produced
mixture which added greatly TO the noise
and boisterousness OF the company.
In this condition they came, about dozen
In number, TO our quiet temperance tavern.
The landlord and lady were absent; the eldest
daughter, fourteen years OF age, and five
younger children were alone in the house.
These gentlemen flor they considered them
selves as such) called for liquor.

the young girl.
What do you keep tavern for then?"
''For the accommodation of travellersn
"Weil, then accommodate us with some
thing TO drink"
You will see. sir, by the sign, that we keep
temperance tavern"
"A temperance tavernp Here the child
rem clustered around their sister.) "Give me
an axe and I'll cut down the sign"
You'll find an axe at the wood pile, sir"
Here the party, each one with an oath made
rush TO the wood pile, exclaiming,
!" Down with the sign down with the
signl"
But the leader going out discovered In an
adjoining room, splendid piano and its ac-
compartments.

II play sometimes" said she, In quiet,
modest manner.
You do2 Give us tune"
Certainly, SIR" and taking the stool while
the children formed circle close to her. she
sung aud played "The Old Arm Chair" =
Some OF them had never heard piano before
Others had not heard one for years.
The tnmult was soon hushed the whip and
spur gentleman were drawn buck from the
wood pile, aud formed circle outside to the
children. The leader again spoke:
"Will you be SO kind as to favor US with
another song?'
Smother was played. and the children be-
coming treasured. some of them Joined their
sweet voices with their sisters. Song was
sung and played. One would arouse their
patriotism another their chivalry and benevo-
lence; until at length, ashamed to ask for
moIe, they each made low bow, thanked her,
wished her good afternoon, and left as quietly
as If they had been to funeral.
Months after this occurrence. the father, In
travelling. stopped at village, where gen.
tleman accosted him:

80 grossly insulted your innocent family
