times his wife asked Burney to put up
the window, and three times he gave
her very surly reply. The last time
he was so savage that the bride, forget
ting for an instant that his roughness
was only assumed, allowed the tears to
spring to her eyes. At this instant q
gentleman sitting in the opposite seat
arose, stepped over put up the window,
and then looking Burney fair in the
eyes, he said:
"Sr, you are brute. No man with
the least spark of honor would act to-
wards woman as you have done to the
lady sitting by your side"
Sir" said Burney, springing to his
feet, "who are you addressingP"
Pm addressing you,' said the man,
firmly. "You are big mar, sir, but
you are a coward, and if ! hear you talk

succeeded in creating, the newly-mar-
ried couple kept remarkably quiet until

Burney again ovcrshot the mark His
conduct towards his wife was so surly
that he attracted the attention of three
divorce lawyers. Seeming probable

cards to the bride, and tried to per-

of Culp's Hill, with batteries commanding the

mendation of General Sherman. In letter to
Secretary Stanton he related the following Incl
dent which secured the boy promotion:
When the assault at Vicksburg was at its
height on the 10Th of May, l was in front near
the road which formed my line OF attack, this
young lad came up TO me wounded and bleeding
with good, healthy boys shout: General Sher-
man, send some cartridges to Colonel Malmborg;
the men are nearly all out What is the matter,
my boy?' They shot me in the Leg sir but
can 90 to the hospital Send the cartridges right
away Even where we stood the shot fell thick,
and told him TO 90 to the rear at once, l would
attend to the cartridges, and eff he limped. just
before he disappeared on the hill he turned and
called out as loud as he could: Calibre 54'
What arrested my attention there was, and
what revives my memory of the fact now is, that
one SO young, carrying a musket ball through
his leg, should have found his way to me on that
fatal spot, and delivered his message, not forget
ting the very important part, even, of the caibre
of the musket, 81, which you know is an unusual
one"
