Henry J. Savage, of the Soldiers

thrilling story of war incident:
The oft-mooted question ''Was ever

at his own earnest solicitation, by a
comrade?" is answered in the affirm

happened as follows: The writer, q

Third Division French's), Second
Corps (Sumners). After wading An
tietam Greek, plunging through plowed
fields, stubble-felds, his regiment was
finally located within plain view of the

along the line to load and fire at will. J"
It was then that our daily target-prac-
tice at Fortress Monroe came into ex-
cellent use, as many poor devil of the
Sixth Alabama learned to his cost. A.
ter firing eleven rounds the writer was
wounded and ordered to the rear.
While retreating in good order, but
making most excellent time, his
route led him through portion
of the Irish brigade. Here he saw q
sight that capped the climax of horror.
A member of that brigade was aimless-

How He Was Cured.

It is so hazardous to startle sick peo-
pie, that as rule no competent physi-
clan or nurse allows patient i'll that
condition to be disturbed out of perfect
quiet. Exceptions to this, where the
result has been beneficial, have usually
been in the nature of comical surprises.
An English invalid, who had been con-
fined to his house for many years by
chronic rheumatism, went out one
sunny day, and endeavored to cross a
lot. While making the effort, he heard
noise behind him, and found himself
pursued by a bull. He dropped his
crutches, ran, leaped q fence, and was
entirely cured of rheumatism. A man
who lay very i'll of fever lad an uncle
living in the house, huge old man al
most stone-deaf, and with tremen-
dous1y loud voice. He was quite eccen-
trio, too, in his ways, and he had the
habit of saying whatever came into his
mind in the plainest language.
In the critical condition Of the sick
man great care was taken to exclude
his uncle from the room, for the least
shock or excitement might provo in
stantly fatal. But one day, in the mo-
mentary absence of the nurse, the old
gentleman slipped into the chamber
and installed his peculiar frame in a
chair by the bedside.
The invalid, who was unable TO speak,
opened his eyes, and turned the IN wea-
rily on the stern face of the old Puritan,
which seemed to him lighted up with
unusual interest and tenderness, and he
braced himself up to listen, not do'lbt-
ing that his uncle had something Of
grave import to say, something about
the settlement of his business, possibly
Or about the future life.
Up to this time the invalid had not
been told of his critical condition: and
one reason of excluding the oil s:eatl2-
man from the room was the fear that lie
would blurt out some announcement Of
the patients extreme danger, which
would be a greater shock than he could
bear.
It was evident from his manner that
the old gentleman had something very
important to say. He drew nearer the
bed, regarded his nephew with the ut
most seriousness, and bending down to
the pillow shouted in the sick mans ear,
in voice that made the house ring
Augustus, have you ever considered
the advantage of being buried in san
dy soil?"
The absurd incongruity of the ques-
ton SO overcame tho sick man that he
closed his eyes and fairly shook with
laughter; and the shok gave such q FL
lip to nature that he seemed to improve
from that moment. -Editor's Drawer.

ABoston Lady has gone to the trouble

ABoston Lady has gone to the trouble
of personally notifying the train boys,
through the columns of the Boston Press,
that she will assume the privilege of
pitching all copies Of Mr.. Ingersoll's
works, deposited by them in her lap,
out of the window. There are many
people who have occasion to travel much
on railroads, of the same mind as the
Boston lady, not especially against In
gersoll, however-but against the book
trade in general. They look upon the
frequent incursions of the book boyas a
nuisance, and often feel like picthing
all his wares out of the window.

DECLINED A DRINK,
Hospitality Extended to the Boss Of Il

Hospitality Extended to the Boss Of the
shuprame ooort-
Having an imperative engagement at
Baltimore some time ago, Chief Justice
Waite of the supreme court hurried to
the Baltimore and Ohio depot at Wash
ington ten minutes before tho train
started. AS he was about to purchase a
ticket he discovered to his horror that
he had only few pennies in his pocket
He looked around for friend, but find
ing none he resolved to use desperate
measures. He fled up in the line to
the ticket window. AS he reached the
agent he smiled an awful smile across
the full width of his enormous mouth
and asked the ticket agent if he knew
him.
mo, DON'T" snarled the agent :;
land what is more, I don't want to.
What do you want?"
II want ticket to Baltimore and re-
turn. am the chief justice of the Sill
preme court. I have no money with
me. It is purely accidental. I can
give you my personal check" replied
the representative of justice.
ooh, I know you. I know all the
bloods. But that dodge won't work on
me. I have just had two members of
the cabinet try to blk me out of
tickets, and no chief justice dodge gets
me. Take your ugly mug out of the
window and get out of the way of peo-
pie who have money"
The chief justice glered. He could
not fine the young man for contempt of
court. He felt worse than if he had
been real fraud, and he blushed and
perspired so that the agent had his be-
lief strengthened. The chief justice
dashed out of the station to see if he
could not find some one to identify him.
He had only five minutes left. It was
too short time to run to the capitol.
He saw no one. Across the street there
was saloon and an eating house. The
chief justice made rush for the place
but stopped at the door. Spying pri-
vate entrance he rushed in and accosted
the proprietor with the frantic inquiry
of ''Do you know me?'
eyer bet yer head I do, yer honor"
said short-haired, freckled-faced man
behind the bar; 'ye are the boss Of the
shuprame coort. 1 see ye livery day 60
ing by here on the cars"
evil you cash my check? I have
no time to explain" Here the justice
grabbed piece Of paper and pen up
on desk near by, and began to write
hurriedly.
''Shure will. I have seen old boys
off on tear before get out Of money.
Trusht me, SOFT. Is it twenty We
want? Here it is. Will We have a
drop before ye run?"
But before any further explanation
could be made the chief justice had
grabbed the money and was running
across the street. In some way the
ticket agent had learned of his blunder
during the judges absence, and was all
politeness when he saw the money. Mr..
Waite barely made the train, but he
has not had such shock to his dignity
since he went upon the bench Of the
supreme court.
