To those whose minds are troubled
with doubt as to whether or not there is
hell, the following from the British
Naval Chronicle, 1907, may not be unn-
teresiing:
An abstract from the journal O.. the
ship Sphinx, in the year 1856, up the
straits:
May l2-Whcn we arrived at Manson

London, commanded 10y the Clpts. Brit

Bell, a merchant, went on the shore upon
the island Of Mount Stromboli To shoot

called th9ir men together TO r1

their inaXpressblc astonishment, they
saw the appearance of two men men

other in gray clothes; they passed close

tremendous noises; the flames rushed
out most terribly, and Capt, Burnahy
cried out "Thc Lord bless me the fore

He then desired them all to write
down in their pocket-books, or note il
on something, what they had then seen
which was Immediately done by the
three captains and Mr. Bell, and like

nhiS AZ llle SAINT llllit,
When these four ships had taken in
their loadings at Lipari they sailed to-.
gether for London. When they arrived
in the river Thames, at Gravescnd, Capt.
Burnaby's wife came from London to
him. He then sent for the three other
captains to come on board his ship to con-
gratulatc him on his wife's arrival. After
they had thus met little conversation
passed between them in the cabin, when
Mrs. Burnaby suddenly started from her
chair and said to her husband MY dear
I'll tell you some news. Old Mr.. Booty

He directly answered, 1--WE saw him
go into hell, and told her what they had
seen, as before related, to her serious
alarm.
When Mrs. Burnaby had returned to
London she went to an acquaintance
and related this serious event that her
husband had seen the soul of Mr.. Booty
go into he'll the l4th of May last. This
gentlewoman then mentioned the same
to Mrs. Booty, widow of the deceased,

TAKE THE GUN.
An Incident of the Battle of Marks MIL
In Arkansas.

An Incident of the Battle of Marks MIL
in Arkansas.
Arkansaw Traveller
just before the battle of Marks Mill,
in Bradley county, Arkansaw, an incident
occurred which has since been told at all
reunions to the amusement Of all hear
ers. Just before the battle opened, a
federal scout, while riding through the
the woods, discovered confederate
scout sitting under a tree. The federal
dismounted and approached cautiously
from behind. The confederate's gun
was leaning against the tree, and the
federal reached around and removed it,
stepped forward and exclaimed.
"Gh, yes, I've got you!"
That's a fact"
Come, get on your horse, and I'll take
you in?"
The two men mounted and started on
through the woods in a direction which
the federal supposed to be the union
lines, but which the confederate soon
discovered was toward his own com
mand. They had not gone far when a
slow fire of musketry caused the federal
to ask,
you know who that is over there?"
"Yes.r
"who is it,"
Joe Shelby"
The devil it isl"
They went on little further, the fed
cral all the time keeping the cJnfeder-
atc's gun lying across the horse, in front
of him, when the crash Of small arms,
and boom, boom of cannon caused the
two men 10 stop.
"Do you know who that is?" asked the
federal"
"Yes"
"Who is it?'
"Marmaduke."
"The devil it is.'
They went on again, the federal grow
ing more and more nervous. Pretty
soon heavy firing and the awful rebel
veil told that the battle was opened.
"Do you know who that is up there?"
asked the federal.
"Ies.n
"Who is it?'
"Maxey with his lniins."
The h-ll it Isl Here YOU take the
gun," and by the time the exchange was
made the nnen were in the confederate
lines.
