The Poughkeepsie Eagle of Tuesday
tells the following:
Among the passengers on the New
York Express train upon the Hudson
River railroad, on Monday, was a brave
fellow from the Army of the Potomac,
with a comrade accompanying him, both
dressed in the uniform of the United
States, with canteens, &c. AT the first
glance nothing uncommon could be de-
tected in the looks Of the pair, nor should
we have been able to relate the romantic
history connected with the couple were we
not made acquainted with it by friend,
who was told it by hospital nurse.
1t appears that at the breaking out of
the rebellion these lovers (for one of them
was a young girl dressed in the garb of a
soldier) were engaged to be married,
which ceremony must either be postponed
on account of the lover going to defend
the flag Of his country, or else the mar
riage must take place and his fair inamo-
rata must follow him. Sne chose the lat
ter, and married they were, he enlisting
afterward in the Second Michigan regi-
ment as private and she, donning the
blue, followed him.
Amid the crash OF shot and SHE'LL at
the battle of the Wilderness, the heroic
girl stood by the side of her husband, and
with her good musket defended him and
struck for her country at the heart of the
chiyalry. Passing safely through that des-
perate light they pressed on with their
regiment to the bloody field of Spottsyl-
vania, where the brave Michigander had
his arm broken by piece of shell. See
ing him fall, she bound up his wound, and
raising him from the ground amid the
thickest of the fight she carried him to
the rear, and, placing him on caisson
which was about starting back for ammu-
milton, she had the satisfaction of seeing
him carried to place of safety, he beeing
soon after conveyed to Carver Hospital,
the heroine and young wife attending him
until he got well enough to start for thei1
home in the West, they being en- route for
there yes terday. -

RIneher and His Ppe.

Here IS an incident of 1915, which tho
English journals are relating; On the
morning of the memorable battle of Wa
terloo, Henneman had Just landed his mas
ter (Blucherl lighted pipe, when can
non ball struck the ground close by, scat
tering earth and gravel in all directions,
and causing the white charger on which
Butcher was mounted to spring aside--a
manuvre that broke the pipe into thOus-
and pieces before the owner had time even
to lift it to his lips.
"Just keep a lighted pipe ready for me
I shall be back again in a few moments,
after I have driven away the raseally
French canrls."
With these words Butcher gave the COM
mand, "Forward, boysl and off he gallop-
ed with ms cavalry, instead however, of a
chase of few minutes, it was rapid
march Of nearly whole hot summer day,
as we all know from history. After the
battle was over, Butcher road back with
Wellington to the place where he first got
q glimpse Of the combating armies, and
nearing the spot where Blucher halted in
the morning they saw to their surprise a
solitary man, his head tied with hand
kerchief, one arm in sling, and calmly
smoking pipe
"Donner and Bitzl" cried Blucher,
why that is my Henneman. How YOU
look, boy; what are YOU doing alone 2"
"Waiting for your speedy return" was
the grumbling answer. "You have come
at last I have waited for you here, pipe
in mouth, for the whole long day. This
is the last pipe in the box. The cursed
French have shot away every pipe from
my mouth, have ripped the flesh from my
head, and fhattered my arm with their
deuced bullets 1t is well there is an end
to the battle, or you would have too late
even for the last pipe"
Saying which, he handed to Blucher the
pipe, to enjoy the remaining fumes of the
weed. Wellington, who had listened at
tentively to the conversation, here remark
ed to Blucher, "YOu have Just admired
the unainehing loyalty and bravery of my
Highlanders, what shall say to this true
and devoted soul "But your Highland

the east portion of Maryland, and that the
pursuing party are wrestling large amounts
of plunder from tho Rebels.

Smokers Gap, when sharp and, for a
time, terrific encounter took place. The
rebels fought like Devils, anxious to save
the grain and cattle they had succeeded in
carrying that far from Maryland.
General Crook however, was determined

the rebels thoroughly; capturing over
300 wagons heavily ladened with grain
