10 INC EuItOT NAIIONAL TRIBUNE:
A large number of members of our Posts were
in the cavalry service, and the question has
arisen: Can we equip our Post with sabers in
place of muskets. If So where can we obtain
cavalry uniforms, sabers scabbards and hang
ings, and what win be the probable cost of
same? w. L. BEATTY, Post AdTt.
OwAsco, SULLIVAN Co., Mo.
THE question of the equipment and uniform
ing of Posts has been left by the National En-
campment to the Departments or, if the De-
partment has taken no action, to the Posts. We
would suggest to our correspondent that he
apply for details as to cost of such equipments
to Comrade A. j. Speese, Cavalry Post. No. 50,
G. A. T., at Philadelphia, this Post being COM
posed exclusively of those who served III the
cavalry during the war.-ED.

rHE MAN on THE BLAcK HORSE.


THE MAN ON THE BLACK HORSE
In the meantime the second rebel line lad
reached the place where the first went down.
and received a whitening fire, yet pulling their
hats over their eyes as if breaSting hail storm
they made gallant attempt to advance, but
the storm was too pitiless, and they broke. As
they were falling back, general officer, on
coal-black charger, spurred to the front and,
by voice and example, endeayored to rally
them Save that man on the black horse"
sang out Colonel Brown, but the next instant
the black steed dashed riderless to the rear
We afterwards learned the officer was General
Monton. His men made a desperate attempt
to carry him off, and fell in heaps around him.
Their lines were now all merged in one con-
fused mass intent only on getting out of range.
"Our boys had been doing their best, loading
rapidly, and firing with deadly aim until our
sixty rounds were running low, but we had
demolished the fire in our front, and, antieipat-
ing the order to charge, the top rails of the
fence were thrown off. At this moment an
aid-de-camp, riding in hot haste, delivered
brief order to Colonel Brown, and we were I'M
mediateiy about-faeed and moved rapidly to
the rear.
I'VE moved back in perfect order through tie
timber, but before we reached open ground, q
staff officer gailoped up and bawled out: Get
out of this as fast as you cam AS we reached
the open ground we found ourselves almost
surrounded. A storm of bullets, from almost
every direction, tore through our ranks; it
seemed as if every third man in the regiment
went down; my comrade, Orrin Walter, fell
dead at my side We pushed ON through the
storm, emerging at point where Minis Massa-
chusetts battery was making its last stand.
They were fighting like demons pouring grape
and canister into dense masses of the enemy
as they came steadily down the opposite slope
Their commander was calling loudly for help,
and we rallied to their support, holding OH until
the last cartridge was sent home, when we fell
back to the crest of the ridge, in front of the
pine woods. Here we reformed our line, our left
extending to the road While this was going
on Colonel Tom Lucas, of the cavalry, made
a splendid dash down the road and gave us
little breathing spell. Meanwhile, boxes of
ammunition were brought from the rear, from
which the boys helped themselves. General
Franklin, with his staff was present. He was
well known to US, as at different times he had
many of US under guard for foraging. There
is General Franklin; where is the 9th corps?"
was the anxious inquiry that passed along the
line Our respite was brief, as line after line
of the enemy swept forward and dozen guns
opened upon us at short range. The air seemed

A HUGE JOKE.
q. w. Cable Suggests q Call for
Mark Twain's Autograph
With Comical Re-
suits.

Chicago Tribune.
Mark Twain has revealed the facts
of an April fool joke of huge dimen.
sions, of which he is the victim. G..
w. Cable. the novelist, was his guest
a few weeks ago, and noticed Mark 8
intense aversion To autograph seekers.
This was the basis of Cables joke
He wrote and sent out nearly 800 cir.
culars TO Marks literary and other
friends suggesting that they write him
for his autograph They readily fell
into the Joke. and Tuesday his mail
was swelled by over 80 letters, while
the front door bell was beseiged all
day with boys with telegraph mes
sages. MANY of the letters are in the
conventional phraseolOgy of auto
graph hunters, others of great length
are filled with business suggestions or
friendly correspondence, but newt
ably close with a request for an auto
graph. The manager of the Madison
Square theater asks one for purposes
of decentralization. Several writers pro-
fess to be earnest admirers of his books
but credit him Nith the authorship of
the works of other writers. Col. John
Hav asked him TO send in his own
chirographv a few hundred lines of
"Poliock's Course of Time. An edi-
tor of the Century magazine demands
autograph for a lame boy. The let
tiers are from Henry Irving, Ellen
Terry. Clara Louise kellogg, Henry
Ward Beecher. Mrlieska, H. H. Boy

George Cary Eggle<ton, Charles Dud-
lev Warner, Col. George f. Warning,
Horace + Scudder, Julian Haw-
thorne, and host Of other personal
friends in New Y rk, Boston, Phila-
delphia and more distant points. The
recipient has secured fine collection
through the joke f NJ Cable and is
considering the pronrieiv of mounting
them in frames and adding them tn

SAVED BY AN ALBATROSS.
The Strange Adventure of a Sailor
Who Was Lost Overheard.

From the Sydney Telegraph.
A singular story has been related
to us by the master of the bark Glad
stone, which arrived here from Lon
don. While the vessel was in latitude
AZ deg. south and longitude so deg.
east, man fell overheard from the
tarboard gangway. The bark was
scuddling along with rough sea and
moderate wind. but on the alarm If
man overheard being given, she was
rounded to. and the starboard lifebcat
was lowered, manned by the chief off
Ger and four men. A search for the
unfortunate man was made. but owing
to the roughness of the sea he could
not be discovered but the boat steer
ed 70 the spot where he was last seen.
Here they found him floating, but
exhausted, clinging for dear life to the
legs and wings Of huge albatross.
The bird had swooped down on the
man while the latter was struggling
with the waves, and ATTEMPTED to
DECK nltu VIII It's pO "VIiul bcdh.
Twice the bird attacked its prey un-
successfully. being beaten of by The
desperate sailor, battling with two en-
emies-the water and the alabatross-
both greedy and Unsuitable. For the
third time the huge white form of the
bird lowered over the seaman, prepar-
atory to final swOOp. The bird
eager for its meal, famed its victim
with its widespread wings. Suddenly
thought occurred to him that the
huge form so close to his face might
becore his involuntary rPscuer.
Quick as thought he reached up and
seized the bird, which he proceeded to
strangIe with all his might.
The huge creature struggled with
wings and paddles TO free itself. In
the contest the sailor was beaten black
and blue, and cruelty liberated, but
he held his own, and slowly the bird
quivered and died. The carcass float
ed lightly on The waves, its feathers
forming a comfortable support until
he was rescued.
