Story OF a Regiment.

One Of the Senators elect who ha~ i
military record, j. Col. J. W. Spaulding
OF Sagadahuc. He went 10 the war q,
Firet Lieutenant i'll the Nineteenth Me,
aud at the close OF the war. two years
aud a halt later, returned home in com
mand OF his regiment. Iii, yaior and
efficiency were several times con.pic-
iously recognized by superior otiicers-
Of the brigade, division and corps-and
he possessed in an enviable degree the
confidence and regard oil his interiors.
When the history of the surrender OF
Lee shall all have been written. il will
appear that, while Gen. Chamberlain
received the sword OF the rebel com.
mander, the decision and bravery of
another Maine officer fastened the capt.
ulation by rescuing from imminent de-
struction bridge ovar the Appomartax
that enabled our entire army TO give in
slant pursuit to Lee. When first ap-
preached by Col. SpauIding's regiment
Gen. Starbird, kennebec boy, another
soldier "without fear and without re-
proach" was very soon struck down and
borne bleeding from the tield,- the
bridge was in flames and line of inian-
try on the opposite shore sought by a
murderous musketry to make certain its
demolition. But the brave Maine boys,
with n heroism that made immortal the
men at Thermopolya, rushed across the
burning structure, shielding their fire
locks and cartridges with their clothing
and with an impetuous charge drove the
| astonished enemy from their position
and far away across the field. Then
with dippers and canteens and three or
tour buckets taken from houses near al
hand, the flames Of the burning bridge
were subducd, and in less than two
hours the right of the grand, conquer
ing Army of the Potomac had ,atel,
crossed the rescued bridge and was il
hot pursuit OF Lee, who, on the after
noon OF that day, found his forces So
completely in the meshes, that he wrot,
his first letter OF surrender to Grant
Had the bridge been destroyed IL.
planned by the rebel commander. Ia
would have gained many hours tim,
ami the day OF surrender would have
been delayed-nobody can tell how
long.
And the bridge Was saced by Main
boys! the 18th Maine,-and thus TRUl
history will record.-[ Elventon in lin

One of the last humorous papers has a
very funny cut. 1t illustrates this
scene: An old gent is walking in his
garden. Presently the milkman comes
along outside the garden wall. and gives
his customary yell. Old gent hears
something, but being very deaf, is UNI
able to make out what is wanted; SO he
puts his ear-trumpet in place, and ele-
waiting the bell over the wall, excIaims,
'Here! Milkman takes it for dish. and
empties q quart Of milk into the old
gents ear, and goes about his business
It is about AS ludicrous an incident as
can be imagined.
