An Incident Of the War

Charley Smith was one Of the "old
Jackson artillery Mt McAlvey's
Fork, this country. before the war,
aud went out in Captain John B.
Miles Company G. Forty ninth regi-
ment, Pennsylvania volunteers, as
drummer. BEING only q little over
IL years Of age, aud but 4 feet 8
inches high. Of Ii vely disposition,
he soon became the pct nd sport OF
the regiment. Among other antics
which the boys used to get him to
perform was that Of cackling like n
chicken, in which he arrived ut do
gree Of perfection that deiied any
ordinary car. IL is related that
during u drizzling rain he was un-
der covered cannon, engaged in
his favorite amusement, when Gener'
al Hancock came along and wonder.
cd what the HI those chickens
were doing there. He lifted up tho
curtain aud found that only chicken
beneath it was the little drummer
boy, who without taking time to sa :
lutte tho general with a specimen
crow, made a sudden departure for
other quarters. While at Savage
Station, Charley Smith was captured
by the rebels, juno 20, 1862, aud
was in rebel prisons two aud ones
half months. At first he was allows
ed to roam the str eets at Richmond,
and made himself useful in carrying
little articles to the boys in prison,
but having hit q desorter from our
army with water melon rind be
was sent to Belle Isle aud more
closely confined. Once his cackling
proclivities brought rebel officer
into camp on diligeut search for
chickens, and Charley had to per-
form, in order to subside the sus'
picion that the boys had been forag-
ing after rebel poultry. Mr.. Smith
now resides, or did few years ago,
at Williamsport.

I'VE Must Save Her. y

There is no class Of mon, not even
soldiers or sailors, more conspicuous
for courage aud self possession that
fireman. II thing can be done,
they know just how TO do IL. OBJ
stacles are overcome, which seem in
surmountable to others. This incl
dent, which occurred at a recent fire
in New York, illustrates our state
ment:
A woman standing on tho sill Of
the open window Of the fourth story
hell on TO telephone wire with
her left hand. She was hatless and
her clothing was disorderod. She
famed herself with her right hand
and waited for assistance.
Hold fast till | come :" shouted
braway fireman, aud q score of
brave men and boys rushed forward
and dragged ladder from hook
and ladder company that had just
arrived.
In an instant q ladder was placed
along side the building. II reached
to tho third story only. A cry ol
dismay went up from the crowd.
Push up another" hundred
voices yelled. Firemen jumped up
the steps two at q tipe.
"Can you help q minute 7" the
leader asked.
"Yes but for Gods sake hurry
was the hoarse reply.
"Come on, Bon, said the fireman
to his companion. ave must save
her !" and up he went, step by ster
to the top, and bis hands just reach
ed the woman's feet.
The crowd held its breath in sus-
pense. but the woman looked calul
and collected.
Hold to the wire and step or
my shoulder said the fireman.
The woman did as she was told
aud as tho brave fellow went tc
move q step down she seemed tc
swoon, and apparon tly lost her bal
ance, but the fireman on the othel
step below caught her, and she wal
hastily carried to the ground. TIL,
woman " as saved, and cheer afte
cheor went up.

Great deeds need to be tested by

Never does a man portray bis own

Rammy, Rammy, Ram.

Mollie had little ram as black OF
a rubber shoe, aud everywhere that
Mollie won't he eniyratei toJ.
He went with her to church one
day-the folks hilarious grew to see
him walk demurely into Deacon AL
lens pew.
The worthy deacon quickly let
his aLgry passions rise, aud give it
an uuchristain kick between the
sad brown eyes.
This landed rammy in the aisle (;
the deacon followed IT, aud raised
his foot ugain alas ! that first kick
was his last.
For Mr.. sheep walked slowly
back, a rod It's said, aud ere the dea.
con could retreat, it TODD him on
his head.
The congregation then arose and
went for that ere shoep. Several
well-directed butts just piled them
in heap.
Then rushed they straightway fol
the door with curses long and loud
while rammy struck the hindnost
man and shot him through til,
crowd.
The minister hal often heard tn al

beast. "Ah !" he says, "lll try that

And 30 he kindly, gently, called
"Come, rammy, raminy, rams to
see the folks abuse you 30, | grieved
and sorry am"
With kind and gentle words h,

saying "R,mmy, ramuy, ram -

The ram quito dropped its hum

Railroad Racket.

Chicago, May 27.-Agents represent
ing the lines east, the lines comprised
in the southwestern Colorado traffic and
the Iowa trunk line associations met
here to-day. 1t was agreed that the
classification of the middle and western
states shall govern all business carried
on by any route to the territory en-
braced in the above named associations.
The arrangement will apply to business
originating at any point west OF the
termini of the seaboard lines and east
of Detroit and Toledo. The roads west
of Chicago accept uniform mileage for
their haul between Chicago and their
several Mississippi river points. The
reason for this action is that there has
been no recognized authority in the
middle states as to what rates should
govern from eastern points to the west,
and when rates were cut by individual
roads it made a decided discrimination
via Chicago if arbitrary rates were
changed on all the business through this
city. The new arrangement allows the
lines originating the traffic to quote
whatever rates they may be obliged to
make from their competitive points
through Chicago to the Mississippi
river.

New York, May 27.-The Tribune
says: James Vanheise, of New York,
has been asked by the authorities of
Washington to superintend the hanging
of Guiteau, and 5000 has been offered
him for his services. Vanheise has
written that if he undertakes the work
he will require that a scaffold similar
to that in use by him in New Jersey
shall be used. and that he shall be al
loved one assistant. He also asks that
the compensation shall be increased.
Vanheise has conducted thirteen
hangings in New Jersey. He is an ex-
pert hangman, and is not credited with
a single blunder. The gallows used by
him has been improved by him, and is
o in the Jail at Newark.
