the experience of the Linck base ball club in
their match with the Memphis Reds last Sun.

in short time the Reds had beat the Nash

Experiences in Battle.

l believe no two good soldiers will
widely disagree as to their sensations
during battle. / take it to be piece
OF bravado IN man to assert that he
had no fear during the progress of a
long and severe engagement A battle
is veritable hell upon earth not to be
in serious apprehension while it lasts is
TO be either drunk, crazy or insensible.
The highest type of bravery is that of
the man who realizes the full extent of
the peril, but sticks resolutely to his
duty. 1t was my experience, and that
of all those about me, repeated dozen
times, that shell-tiring is not ordinarily
nearly so demoralizing as that of musk
etry. 1t is not often that shells are
thrown so that their fragments scatter
death and wounds, and their loud hum
ming overhead does not cause that nerv-
GUS tingling which always fellows the
sharp zip OF the rihe-bullet. The peep
liar cutting of the air made by halt =.
dozen of these at once is apt to give tie
soldier the idea that the whole air is
filed with them, and that he is certain
to be struck with one of them. All, l
believe, will agree as to the sensation
first caused by the impact of bullet.
1t is stunning, numblng feeling, which
for timeover powers the local pain of
the wound. In my own experience
single buckshot near the hip knocked
me fiat, and for two days after gave me
such acute pains and such muscular dis
turbance from knee to shoulder that /
could not stand erect. Soldiers have
frequently been prostrated by spent
balls. A curious effect of shell wounds
is that they DO not bleed the hot frag
ment sears the torn blood-vessels and
stops the effusion. A Minnie ball ex-
tracted from the human body presents
remarkable sight. 1 have seen them
where the resistance of the flesh had
turned back the pointed end on all sides
with such regularity that the ball resem-
bled a saucer or a fiower.-Ne1O York
Times
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1876-02-18

But the groundwork of this is the
discharge and completion of business;
there is no higher duty than the good of
the whole world. All my efforts are to
remove sin from created beings, to make
them happy here below, and to enable
them to gain Heaven hereafter. For
this purpose / have inscribed the pres
ent law; /; may it be long preserved, and
may my sons in the same manner strive
after the good of the whole world. ."
Such was the fruit of this gentle faith in
a monarch's heart. Setting aside the
superstitious excrescences, it is evident
that our divines and philosophers might
protitably examine with attention and
respect these ancient religions of the
East, which have so many points of noble
morality. The gentle politeness of
Buddhistic races, and their prevailing
kindness to animals, are testimonies to
Gautama's influence which the most care
less traveller would observe in Ceylon or
Siam. The injunction of harmlessness
-ahinsa-and the sublime doctrine that
every good or evil act and word and
thought has its inevitable consequence
for the benefit or hurt upon each souls
course and destiny, are teachings the mark
of which is stamped deep upon the
oriental people.
