Frightened i'm Battle.

In one engagement every man in the
company went into the fight with eighty
rounds of cartridges. After we had been
in for an hour or more the report went
from man to man that they must have
more ammunition. Some of the men
had fired more rapidly than others, and
the captain ordered a collection of
cartridges for a new distribution among
the men Of the company. When they
came to my cartridge-boX they found
every cartridge in its place and two ex-
ira punches in my haversack. 1 had
gone through the whole fight swapping
my gun without firing more than once.
l certainly had gone through the mo-
tions of loading and firing, but there
was the evidence that l had not fired
more than a single shot, while other
men in the company had fired forty and
sixty shots. No explanation could be
made. In fact, l had none to make. l
didn't understand how it all happened,
and never fully recovered from the
shock that the knowledge of my absent
mindedness in time of danger gave me-

He Fired the Last Shot.

Nap. Casby fired the last gun of the
war on the confederate side in General
Lees army. At the time of the sur
render of AppomattoX the federals and
confederates were drawn up in lines
facing each other, and but a few feet
apart. The latter were almost starved,
having been without food for several
days. While the terms of surrender were
being adjusted, some very good hogs
came along near the line, and, as soon
as discovered by Casby, he raised his
gun and shot one of them. The shoot
ing of the animal created intense ex-
element for a brief time, as it was
generally supposed that conflict had
been opened by the two opposing forces.
The facts soon became known, and
Casby was allowed to take his " for
age" for the benefit of himself and
friends.-Baltimore american.

The Power Of An Ocean Wave.

In paper by the Rev. Philip Neale,
late British chaplain at Batavia, in
Leisure Hours, speaking of the great in
undation from the sea caused by the
Krakatoa earthquake, Java, he says;
" One of the most remarkable facts
concerning the inundation remains to
be told As we walked or scrambled
along, we were much surprised to find
great masses of white coral lying at the
side of our path in every direction.
Some of these were of immense size,
and had been cast up more than two or
three miles from the seashore. 1t was
evident, as they were of coral forma-
ton, that these immense blocks of solid
rock had been torn up from the ocean
bed in the midst of Sunda Straits, borne
inland by the gigantic wave, and finally
left on the land several miles from the
shore. Anyone who had not seen the
sight would scarcely credit the story.
The feat seems almost an impossible
one. How these great masses could
have been carried so far into the in
terror is a mystery, and bears out what
| have said in previous papers as to the
height of this terrible wave. Many of
these rocks were from twenty to thirty
tons in weight, and some of the largest
must have been nearly double that.
Lloyd's agent, who was with me, agreed
in thinking that we could not be mis-
taken if we put down the largest block
of coral rock that we passed as weigh
ing not less than fifty tons"

General Whitaker and the Spent Ball.

A spent ball, striking with dull thud,
like stone thrown by some strong
armed man, often caused more pain to
the man struck, and more commotion
in the ranks, than bullet that tore
through mans leg or arm. A spent
ball always Slipped up" on you. 1t
always came when least you expected
it, from an unlooked-for direction, and
struck part of the body not expecting
to be hit. So it always produced a stun
ming effect In some regiments spent
balls were universally called "stun-
ners," and very many men had painful
and uncomfortable experiences with
them. Some days the men lounging in
line of battle, protected by hill, and
listening to the volleys on the right,
would be distributed by the contortions
of man who had been asleep. A
spent ball had struck his foot and, with
out breaking the shoe leather, had made
him crazy with pain. Another would
be hit in the region of the stomach, and
labor under the impression that his en-
trails had been torn out. Another
struck on the hand, would yell like an
Indian, whereas had a bullet gone
through his body he would have shut
his lips and uttered not groan. The
boys had theory that these spent balls
came from the awkward squad of the
enemy, and that the air up little dis
lance was full of them. The spent
balls were no respecters of persons.
They demoralized men in shoulder
straps as well as men in blouses.
AT Chickamauga, General Whitaker,
storming forward at the head of his
brigade, was struck in the abdomen.
Deathly sick and faint, he called to
General Granger: General, 1 am hit
in bad place. Who'll take charge of
my boys?" Granger replied: "I'll do
it myself" and sorrowfully sent his ia
vorite brigadier to the rear. Whitaker,
riding along rearward, concluded to see
the extent of his wound. Intuition
ing his coat he found no blood. Under
clothing was not stained or punctured.
There was no wound in the flesh Real
alizing that he had been hit by spent
ball, Whitaker wheeled his horse, and
in a towering rage galloped back to the
scene of battle. Dashing up to the
commander of the reserve, he roared,
Pm not wounded worth a d-n;
I'll run this brigade myself" and he
did.-Inter- Ocean.
