The hero OF Fort Fisher was on the platform
he is sallow-complexioned man, apparently
somewhere In the forties. He sports quite
handsome mustache of pale brown color His
lace Is good-looking when he is not laughing
but In that event is puckered very. firmly. 1t is
a narrow elongated face, the forehead high the
nose slightly bottled the sum total of the coun-
tenanee being genality and good nature. He is
genial IN conversation, and bears upon him the
impress of sodier-like faithfulness even in the
face OF death. His figure is slight his bearing
martial.
GENERAL POPE
ls smaller in stature than Terry. Thck-set- and
broad in shoulders apd head, he has Ire bearing
OF a gallant soldier. Those black eyes. which
emit occasional flakes of martial fire. would
surely glow under the fiery excitement of battle
He has been man of failures no doubt but
that has been the fate of many a good man. In
person he is more than passabe, not excrucia-
tingly handsome, but well made up. and doing
credit to his military tailor. He wears glasses
which have an unmiitary aspect and do not by
any means improve his appearance. His hair is
black, straight and long. He wears his honors
whatever they amount to- modestly. He gen.
erously gave credit to his compeers in the field,
and bears no envy-an ungenerous trait unknown
to gallant heart.
GENERAL WILSON.
OF cavalry fame, is splenddly built man with
fine, intelligent face, high cheek bones, a very
respectable nose and pleasant mouth He
would look well on horse, and seems to have
the vim and spirit of daring and dashing rider
He is still young, has calamity won his spurs,
and merits the fame he has won.

The rocks where we played at keeping store"
The steps we dug IN the bank below.
And the bear-track trod in the winter snow.
The corner brick on the chimney lies
Just as it did to my boyish eyes;
And In dreams throw the stones again
threw at the topping brick in vain.
The names on the weather-boards are pset
VI the sacred treasures of my heart :;
Some yet place with the earth-sounds keep,
And some in the holds Of silence sleep.

Of the swiftest boy who stood for bear,
And the sound brings back the joy and glow
Of the chase around the snow.
Often again In thought slide
On the stoneboat down the long hillside;
The breathless speed and the dizzy reel,
And the wind in my lifted hair feel.
All me! There are spots that hold my dead
In a sleep unstirred by memory's tread;
And many a scene of lifes triumph lies
Deep in the mists that never rise.
And things of rapture and things of tears
Are hidden within the veil of years;
But the old brown schoolhOuse on the hill,

ATTEMPTED ABDUCTION OF You've woxAs.

Saws the San Francisco Times of December 30th !:
Yesterday morning, about half-past one
o'clock. a well-known gentleman in this city
discovered four ruffians attempting to drag a
Young woman into house on Dupont street,
between California and Sacramento. The
woman had got hold ola fence and was resisting
the efforts of the rascals to her utmost. They
had put their hands over her mouth to keep her
from calling for assistance. When the gentle
man saw that struggle was going on, he took
a police whistle from his pocket and blew for as
sistance as he ran toward the party The ruiil-
ans heard the whistle, and took to their heels
making their escape. The young woman was
completely exhausted and terribly frightened.
She told the gentleman that she lived on Bush
street, west of Taylor, and that the four men
had seized her on the corner of Bush and Du-
pont streets, while she was on her way home.
He accompanied her to her residence.
