Some Mons Iuek.

Gen. Gordon was severely wounded
four times in one battle and within an
hour, and lived to fight again and this
is only a specimen of the singular good
luck that attended some men. In 1864
a Michigan cayalryman named Drake
was out foraging In the Shenandoah val
ley in company with a comrade named
Cooper. Cooper was in a smOke-house
after meat and Drake was on guard at
the door when thirteen Confederates
suddenly appeared They were mount
ed. and advanced Mt a gallOp, part of
them firing as they rode up. One bullet
found a suitable opening IN the stone
wall of the smOke-hOuse, and flew IN and
killed Cooper dead IN his tracks Drake
was standing beside his horse, and his
saddle was hit by three bullets, one of
which glanced through his hat.
As soon as the trooper could realize
what had happened he swung himself
into saddle and dashed at the circle
around him. The moment he happened
in view he was target for carbine and
pistol. His horse made a rush at the
line, but was driven back. Followed by
Cooper's horse he galloped around and
across "a circle not over 100 feet across,
all the time under a steady fire by the
COnfederates. This fire was soon re-
turned by Drake, who fired away seven
cartridges and then drew his saber. His
seven bullets, as afterward vouched for,
killed two men. wounded two more, and
killed one horse. His fire broke the
circle, and he got ont Of it, but for thirty
rods, as ne made of, he was exposed 10
the fire of nine or ten men. Cooper's
horse was killed in the circle, while
brakes was hit no less than nine times
and vet not disabled AS for the rider,
his comrades, on his return TO camp,
counted up a record of truly-miracu-
lous escape. Three bullets struck his
two his hat, four went through
his clothing, one burned his cheek, one
raked his knee, and two hit his left
boot. While one single bullet killed the
one trooper, the other had sixteen fired
point blank at him and yet did not lose
a drop of blood. Cooper's horse was
killed by one bullet, while nine failed to
disable the larger and more exposed ami
