STORY.

Gen. Reno Said 10 Have Been shot by q
Member OF President Hayes Regiment.
From the Washington Sunday Herald.
The night before the memorable battle
Of South Mountain, the sd Ohio yolun-
teers, Col. r. B. Hayes, were encamped III
a field in which there were a number OF
wheat-stacks. The men were tired, and
utilized the wheat in making their beds,
to tho destruction, necessarily, Of the
wheat. Gen. Reno, passing that way in
his rounds, discovered what they had
done, and uphraided them in no measured
terms for their conduct in destroying pri-
vate property, using Language that it would
be idle now to repeat; and 1t was while
he was thus engaged that a colonel, who is
now President OF theU nited States, came
up, attracted by the loud tones, and, an
nouncing himself as the Colonel of the
regiment, demanded what was the mean
ing OF the language used. Gen. Reno, in
terms more forcible than polite, - him
and his - regiment, and declared that he
held him responsible for the conduct Of
his men. The next day, when the line
was advancing on the enemy, Gen. Reno
passed through the 23d Ohio, on his way
to the front. Only light skirlnishing was
going on at the time. The General had
Just left the flank OF the regiment, when
one OF the men OF the 23d Ohio fired and
killed him. At the time he was shot he
was at least three-quarters OF a mile from
the enemy's line. Col. skilcs, who was at
the battlcof South Mountain as Captain in
the sd Ohio Volunteers, and was after
wards Major Of the Ssth Ohio, and at pres
ent is trading at Fort Clark, Texas, tells
the above remarkable story, which comes
from an oficerot the army to whom Skiles
related it some time ago.

clined a denomination, saved his money,
and is spared the bitterness Of defeat.
The district was largely Republican. But
the victory was q sad one to Mr.. Smith,
who won it, Tho news Of his success
came to him upon his death bed, and
while at his headquarters his partisans
were jubilating he himself answered an.
other than a Congressional roll-call. On
learning Of his success, he smiled, and
pressing the hand OF one OF his friends,
who stood by his bedside, he said: THANK
nv supporters for me, for ! shall have no
opportunity OF thanking them myself
These were almost his last words.

Sacramento (Call Union.
A resident Of Sacramento County, who
has a peculiar faculty for training animals,
has educated three cats to serve the pur-
pose OF dogs as r~etricvers. When he takes
up his gun and calls them from the house,
they follow with a grand rush, mewing
and whining excitedly. When abird Is
shot, they enter upon tho livliest kind OF
a race to retrieve it,and II it is not in sight,
hunt the ground thoroughly,-neyer omit
ting to slap at one another viciously when
ever they come within reaching distance.
No matter which OF the trio finds the bird
the carrying TO the shooter is generally
done bv a patriarchal Thomas, who "phys
roots upon the others very cunningly,
and scratches and bites II one OF the other
cats gets tho game first and docs not sur
render it on demand. He carries the
bird to his master, and stands guard over
it until 1t Is taken from him and bagged.
San Francisco Alta.
We are satisfied that cats generally could
be trained, not only as %retrievers, but also
to catch game for their masters. A lady
OF this city, when living in the country
several years since, when seeing her cat
bring a EQUAL to her kittens, took it from
her, caressed her, and gave her a peice OF
fresh beef. The cat, understanding then,
for the first time, that her mistress wanted
quail, brought one to her the nextday, and
frequently a%iterward, once three in one
day. Previously she has caught them for
herself or her kittens. II is well known
that cats are expert ~bird.catchers, and the
question whether their skill cannot be used
for the benefit Of their masters deserves
attention.

SECOND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

The Rev. j. ID. Mohett preached an
interesting sermon from the text, land
| will be father unto you, and We shall
be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord
Almighty 2 Cor, 9Th capter and the
18th verse. lie commenced by saying
that he could not lay too much stress on
these words, and that 1t was all import.
ant that we should be convinced OF the
truth of this statement. Although diff
cult, it should be the duty of all Chris
tan ministers to persuade men to become
reconciled to their Heavenly Father and
reallze the promise that he will be
father unto each, individually. Unita-
rians are persuaded that we are the wor-
shippers of three Gods, but we should
try to aim at more consistent doctrine
than this, for Christ said, 81 and my
Father are one.' We have therefore
one Father, and the privilege OF being
His children. Some people say: "Why
did God permit sin to enter into the
human family il He is the Father Of that
family" 1t is admitted thst the
Almighty could have prevented sin from
entering into the world. lie that made
man could change man, is very evident;
but then it ls impossible for Us to under
stand all Gods motives and purposes IN
this matter. 1t we have mind to re-
fleet little we can form some very good
conclusions. We are all aware that love
cannot be forced, for the moment you do
so. it Loses It's real nature and becomes
slavi.hness. God could have prevented
sin from entering into the world, but
not without interfering with the
freedom OF man and forcing man
10 love Him, which would not have
been natural. God may be our Father
and we at the same time sin against
Him for having made us free agents.
| he cannot force US to love Him, and He
gave our first parents fair trial and
sufficient warning before they departed
from the perfect state. Again some may
| s.v-why are we allowed 10 endure so
much misery? "Does father indict pun
ishment without 8 reason il he does, he
ceases TO be father and is nothing but
A cruel tyrant. So God infiicts punish.
ment for our individual benefit and prof
il, and as warning 10 others. He does
! not inlet more than we deserve III
there are any who ought to be delivered
from affection it ought to be Gods PEG
pie, aud yet ask any true believer whether
he suffers more than he deserves, and
be will say that he does not receive more,
but less than he deserves. However
We should not look upon God as though
he delighted IN Furnishing his creatures,
but As loving Father, willing 10 receive
us as his children. He ssid there were
people to be found processing Chris
tiansl who would hesitate to say, The
Lord is my Father and ! am His child"
And vet we have every encouragement
to exercise faith sufficiently to say and
believe SO, and we cannot conceive the
amount of Joy snd peace /. affords II
that belief is sincerely entertained.
