An Incident OF the Rebellion.

4 battery of the First Artillery
(Fedefal) halted one night during
the Seven Days fight, in little
clearing. The men lay down, un-
hitched their horses, but leaving
them in harness. The First Ser
geant, now an honored officer of the
Third Artillery, told me he got up
and walked toward one side of the
clearing. lie was halted and turn
ed back by 4 sentinel. Going to-
ward the other side, he was again
challenged.
"Who comes thar ?"
The voice struck him. He replied,
Friend :" and said: What regi-
ment is that?"
The answer came, Seventh Ala
bama."
What regiment IS that on the
other side ?"
Fifth Georgia, replied the senti-
mel.
what battery is that?"
Here was a situation. The Ser
geant didn't know the name of a
battery in the Confederate army.
Hesitation would have been fatal.
BY q lucky inspiration he replied,
"One of Stuart's batteries" knowing
that Jeb Stuart commanded their
cavalry.
oh" said the other, then you're
n hoss battery ?"
"Yes," said O.. Good night.
He Immediately awoke the Cap
tain, who rather angrily said "What
the duce is the matter now?n
Excuse me, Captain" said the
Sergeant, "but we're camped between
a Georgia and an Alabama regi
ment-
1t is needless TO say the Captain
got up. Horses were hitched in
quietly. and the battery withdrew
from between the sleeping regiments

was within theiT gfagp.-Ca CalJornian.

Printing the Great CiviIizcr.


Until printing was very generally
spread, civilization advanced by slow
and languid steps. Since the art
has become cheap its advances have
become unparalleled, and its race OF
progress vastly accelerated 1t has
been stated by some that the ciyili-
zation of the Western World has re-
suited from its being the seat of the
Christian religion. However much
the mid tenor OF its doctrines is
calculated to assist in producing
such an effect, that religion can but
be injured by an uniounded state
ment. 1t is by the easy and cheap
methods of communicating thought
from man TO man which enable q
country To slit, Us 1t were, Its whole
people, and to produce, in its science,
Its literature, Its arts, not the bright
est efforts ol a limited class. but the
highest exertIons OF the most power
ful minds among a whole communi-
tv. 1t is this which has given birth
to the widespread civilization of the
present day, and which promises a
future vet more prolific. Whoever
is acquainted with the present state
Of science and the mechanical arts,
and looks back over inventions and
the civilization which the fourteen
centuries subsequent TO Christianity
have produced, and compare them
with the advances made during the
succeeding fourteen centuries fol-
lowing the invention of printing,
viii have no doubt as to the efioc-
tive cause. It IS during these last
three or four centuries that man
considered as a species, has com
menced the development of his in
tcllectual faculties; that he has
from Il position IN which
he was almost the creature of III
stinct to a state in which every step
in advance facilitates the progress OF
his successor. In the first periods
arts were discovered by individuals,
and lost to the race in the latter,
the diffusion of ideas enabled the
reas. nings of one class to unite with
the observations Of another, and the
most advanced point of one genera
ton became the starting point Of.
the next.

Old Men i'm Politics.

Grandfather LickShinCie and De
con Radspinner, two patroits in this
community, were walking down
street together yesterday. 1t was
remarked that two such venerable
men were not often seen together
and people raised their hats to them
as they passed along and spoke to
them reverently.
There's entirely too much bit
terness in this campaign, deacon,
said Mr.. Lickshingle, 'and | regret
il exceedingly. Now, when we wuz
young men we took an interest in
politics, we had none of this ere
eyerlastin' cat-haulin'' .
Indeed, we hadn't" acquiesced
Deacon Radspinner. Take Jack
sons campaign, for instance. There
wuz a lively interest taxed by both
parties, but there wuz none of your
bully-raggin' like we see nowadays.
That's a fact, Deacon said old
Lickshingle; but between me an

deacon.
We'll, there's Garfield" " said Lick
shingie.
Garfield be DANCED. You know
mighty well, Lickshingle, he couldn't
have been lected hog-rive in a hill
town in Jackson's day"
Hes 4 darn sight better man
than Hancock

said the deacon, somewhat agitat-
ed.
"Oh, know what I'm talking
about" retorted Lickshingle, as he
stabbed the pavement spitefully
with his hickory cane. Hancock 3
a stoughton bottle, that's Just what
he Is"
An what's Garfield? Great guns,
what's Garfield? Didn't he lay a
cheap-John sort Of a pavement
around the Capitol and charge the
government amillion dollars for it?'
and the deacons eyes blazed with in
dignation.
"See here, deacon, look at your
man Hancock's letter TO Sherman.
Didn't he try TO blow up Washing
ton with glycerine? Say, didn't he ?
Oh, read the papers, old man. an
know what's goin' on"
"Hancock's a good an pure man.
Didn't he fight like bulldog in the
war of the rebellion? Where was
Garfield gkulkin' in the time of dis
aster? In Canady, by thunder, in

he whirlcd around and faced Lick

You're a bald-headed old scoun-

ed Lickshingle, gripping his cane and
advancing.
Friends jumped in, and two furi-

directions. The deacon
