Shot With Water.

Amusing incidents sometimes occur
during the heat of an engagement,
which causes even the fighters to pause
and smile. During the fight between
the Confederate ram Albemarle and the
Union vessels, the following incident
happened, which illustrates the power
of imagination: The ram had fired a
shot, which,ricochetted across our deck,
carrying with it a stream of the cold
water of the Sound. An officer COM
manding division heard the report,
the whistle of the shot, standing with
his back to the ram. The water, with
considerable force, struck the gentle
man on the back of the neck, running
and trickling down his back. With a
yell he threw up his hands. murmured,
F." My God! I'm shot!' and tainted dead
away. | witnessed the entire incident,
assisted to remove him to the cockpit,
and when the engagement was over, told
the affair to the mess.

man and two horses were provided.
Indians would sometimes give chase,
but their cayuse ponies made but sorry
show IN their stern chase after Miller's
thoroughbreds, many of which could
make single mile in minute and fifty
seconds.
All arrangements being completed, a
signal gun OIL the steamer at Sacramen-
to proclaimed the meridian of April 18,
1o60-the hour for starting Bor-
der Rutfiaa, Mr.. Miller's private saddle
horse, with Billy Baker in the saddle,
bounded away toward the foothills of
the Sierra Nevadas, and made his ride
OF twenty miles in forty-nin minutes.
The SHOWS were deep in the mountains;
and one nder was lost for several hours
IN a snow-storm; and after the Salt Lake
valley was reached, additional speed
became necessary to reach st. Joseph
on time. From here all went well until
the Platte was to be crossed at Jules
burg. The river was up and running
rapidly, but the rider plunged his horse
into the flood, only, however, to mire
in the quicksand and drown. The
courier succeeded in reaching the shore,
with his mailbag in hand, and travelled
ten miles on foot to reach the next re-
lay. Johnny Fry, a popular rider of
his day, was to make the finish. He had
sixty miles to ride, with six horses to
do it. When the last courier arrived at
the sixty-mile post, out from St. Joseph,
he was one hour behind time A heavy
rain set in and the roads were slippery.
Two hundred thousand dollars might
turn upon a single minute. Fry had
just three hours and thirty minutes in
which to win. This was the finish for
the longest race, for the largest purse,
ever run in America. When the time
for his arrival was nearly up, at least
five thousand people stood upon the
river bank, with eyes turned toward
the woods from which the horse and its
rider should emerge into the open
country in the rear of Elwood-one
mile from the finish. Tick, tick, went
thousands of watches! The time was
nearly up! But nearly seven minutes
remained! Hark! shout goes up from
the assembled multitude: 'sHe comes!
he comesr' The noble little mare,
Sylph, the daughter of little Arthur,
darts like an arrow from the bow and
makes the run of the last mile in one
minute and fifty seconds landing upon
the ferry-boat with five minutes and
traction to spare.-H. Joseph (No.J

One Honest Man.

The other day six men sat around a
stove in Detroit tobacco store. There
had been a long period of silence when
one of them rubbed his leg and re-
marked: r
That old wound feels as if it was
going to open again. shall always re-
member the battle of Rich Mountain. "
There was slight stir around the
stove, and a second man put his hand
to his shoulder and observed:
"And l shall not soon forget Brandy
Station. Feels to-day as if the lead was
going to work OUT
The interest was now considerably
increased, and the third man knocked
the ashes off his cigar and said:
Yes, those were two hard fights,
but you ought to have been with Nelson
at Franklin. Lor', but wasn't excited
that day! When those two fingers went
with a grape-shot never felt the painr'
The fourth man growled out some
thing about Second Bull Run and a sabre
cut on the head, and the fifth man felt
of his left side and said he should always
remember the lay of the ground at the
Yellow Tavern. The sixth man was
silent. The other five looked at him
and waited for him to speak, but it was
a long time before he pointed to his
empty sleeve and asked:
" Gentlemen, do you know where
got that?''
Some mentioned one battle and some
another, but he shook his head sadly
and continued:
g Boys, let's be honest and own right
up. lost my arm by buzz-saw, and
now we will begin on the left and give
every one a chance to clear his con-
science. Now, then, show your wounds"
The five men leaned back in their
chairs and smoked fast and chewed hard
and looked at each other, and each one
wished he was in Texas when runa-
way horse flew by and gave them a
chance to rush out and get clear of the
one-armed man. 1t was a narrower es-
cape than any one of them had during
the war.-Detron Free Press.

How She Stopped the Train.

A day or two ago lady on Central
Railroad train, after depositing numer-
Gus bundles in the rack overhead the
seat, hung her umbrella upon the cord
connecting with the air brakes. A news
boy passing through the car noticed the
suspended gingham and politely in
formed the innocent owner that she
must remove it. g What's that string
for if it amt to hang things onp'' in
quired the old lady, as she dropped the
umbrella in the seat. The boy an
swered in all ea-nestness: 7" It's to call
a waiter when you're hungry" and
passed on. Some time after there was
vigorous pulling of the air-brake cord
and the train came to standstill. The
conductor rushed up to the old lady and
in a tone of amazement exclaimed,
. What's the matterp' bring me a
plate of pork and BEANS" drawled out
the ancient female with the umbrella,
not in the least aware that she had
stopped the train. An explanation fol-
lowed and the joking newsboy did not
venture forth from the baggage car
during the remainder of the trip.--AL
