Some Gallant Deeds.

/ The dispatches from Alexandria
enlarge upon the wonderful devo-
ton and extraordinary bravery OF
the gunner on board one of the
British vessels who picked up a
shell with a burning fuse and i'm
mersed it in bucket of water. This
was a gorgeous act, but it was not
more gallant than anything of the
sort ever before chronicled." Dur
ing our own war for the Union hun
dreds of cases as deserving of men,
ton occurred.
At Stone River when Croft's Brig
age of Palmer's Division was pur-
suing the routed rebels on the I'd of
January, they came suddenly on a
reserve battery that opened on them
with surprising fury. The men were
ordered to lie down, and dropped
into the soft mud of a corntield.
The rebel artillerymen had the
range, however, and poured shot and
shell into the advance line in a way
that tore some poor unfortunates in
pieces and covered nearly every one
with mud. In the midst of the ter
rife fusilade a shell struck between
two men lying fat on the ground so
near 10 their heads as 70 stun both.
Dozens Of men, the bravest there,
closed their eyes in anticipation of
the terrible scene that would follow
the explosion. But one of the sol
diers at whose shoulder the smok-
ing shell had struck, digging up
handful of mud, held it aloft for
moment while he cody said: Ten
to one, boys, she don't bust" and
with sort of gleeful agility he
brought his great wad of mud down
on the shell smoking in the shallow
hole, and "she didn't bust" No
one thought George Hunt, of Co. C,
First Kentucky Infantry, a hero for
doing that, but possibly ne ranked
as high as the courageous gunner
on the Alexandria.

getting ready for his move on At
lanta great quantities of ammunition
were stored in the railroad sheds at
Resaca. One day in the midst of a
thunder storm that dismantled .he /
camp, the ammunition building was
struck by lightning. Hundreds of /
the bravest soldiers ran blindly away
as they saw the boxes of shell /
thrown about, saw the guards drop
as If shot and saw smoke issuing |
from the top of the great pile of ex-
plosives. But one man, clear-eved |
and cool-headed, saw that the smoke |
came from tow in which the shells !
were packed, and, climbing to the |
top, seized the burning mass, and |
holding it up shouted: "All right,
boys; no fireworks this time" His |
intrepidity and alertness saved the |
ammunition and possibly many lives, |
and bis record should be kept as |
green as that of the gallant gunner !

A Hard Trial.

brought all their influence to bear
on certain farmer named Harris.

had the happiness of hearing him

the reply.

Garibaldi

In the long summer nights at
sea, said a friend who knew Carl
baldi, I'VE sat upon the deck, and he
recited Italian poems He was a
poet himself poet in action.
When he stood in his red shirt upon
the balcony al Naples and gave the
kingdom to the King, he Was the
same simple man as on those sum-
mer nights at sea" But whoever
remembers the days of Gregory the
Sixteenth, the last Pope but one,
may well rub his eyes as he reads

by the municipal authorities, march
ed through the chief street at Rome,
amid universal aeclamation, carry
ing a bust Of Garibaldi, which it
deposited in the Capitol. There
were the usual details Of pageantry-
the blaek-veiled ladies, the chariot
typical OF triumphal entries, the fig
ure of Liberty crowning the bust ;
and there were the Ted-shirted vete-
rams, the historic flags, the great
banners OF Italian cities, the schools,
the clubs, the artists, and the com
mittees. But more than the specta-
cles was It's significance. 1t was
new Italy, regenerated Italy, the
Italy to which Gregory the Sixteenth
is as remote and alien a figure as
Alexander Seventh, the Borgia.

A Wonderful Salt Sein

A very curious thing is Z salt
quarry discovered in Wyoming
county, south of Rochester, n y.
near GAINESVILLE. They were boring
for oil, and struck q ledge twelve
feet thick of pure crystal salt. 1t
lies in the ground like a gigantic
cake of ice, and can be taken out so
clear and transparent that you can
see through the cakes as if they
were pure glass. 1t will be much
cheaper to quarry out this salt aud
grind it up than it is to boil down
the syracuse, Saginaw. or Turks Is
land salt. The mine is source of
infinite wealth to Wyoming county,
and one of the geological curiosities
of the world.

Happy.

Charles Carleton Coffin, in his
Boys of 81" relates the following
incident connected with the Poto-
mac Army's march north, shortly
before the Battle OF Gettysburg.
When the Fifth Corps passed through
the town of Liberty, Nd, farmer
rode into the village mounted on u
farm wagon. His load was covered
with table-cloths.
what have you got to sell, old
fellow? Bread, eh ? said a soldier,
raising i corner Of tie cloth and re-
'vealing loaves of sweet, soft, plain
bread with several bushels Of ginger
cakes.
What DO you ask for a loaf?'
Il haven't any to sell, said the
farmer.
Haven't any to sell ? What are
you here for ?"
The farmer made no reply.
See here, old man, won't ye sell
me hunk Of your gingerbread ?"
said the soldier, producing IN old
wallet.
No
well, you're u man to be proud
of. amt you? I've a mind to tip you
out of your old bread-cart. 1t would
serve YOU right. Here we are march
ing all night and all day TO protect
your property, and we haven't had
any breakfast, and may not have
any dinner. You're a pretty set
around here any way, said the sol
der.
A crowd of soldiers had gathered,
and others expressed their indigna-
ton. After quietly listening to
them, with a half-smiling face for a
few minutes, the old farmer stood
up on his wagon seat, took of the
,able-cloths, and replied
Il didn't bring my bread here to
sell, boys. My wife and daughters
sat up all night to bake it for you,
and you're welcome to all I've got,
and | wish had ten times as much
Help yourselves
"Hurrah hurrah : hurrah r
Good for YOU y you're worth the
fighting for p Three cheers fcr the
old man p Three more for the Old
lady ~ Three more for the girls :"
They threw up their caps and fairly
danced for ioy. The bread and
cakes were gone in a twinkling.
''See here, my friend, | take back
all the hard words / said about
YOU" said the first soldier, shaking
hands with the farmer, VINO sat ON
his wagon halt laughing, and yet 80
pleased and happy that he could do
something for the soldiers, that he
was almost as much inclined TO cry
