breaking in a Brigade.

Inter ocean IUrDStole CrayonS.
l remember time when Gen. Wise
opened suddenly with two or three batteries
on Union camp and threw a whole brig
ade into a panic. The cannon balls and
bomb-shells dropped here and there among
the tents, and with their exaggerated idea
of the destructiveness Of such missiles the
men thought they ought to leave the local
ity at full run. Instead of this the COM
manding general ordered that not a tent be
boys thought this a species Of brutal reck-
lessness, and many of the men considered
the propriety of disobeying orders and run
ming up into the mountains.
But in an hour they had lost their fear
and were watching the points where cannon
balls struck that they might dig them up as
relics At the end of the first day they paid
little attention to the bonn bardment At
the end of the second day they had fair
idea of the comparative harmlessnsss of
cannon firing at long range, and they were
prepared to agree with the general when he
explained that he had kept them in their
tents simply for the purpose Of giving them
their first lesson in artillery practice. He
wanted THIN to get close grip on themselves
so that when they were thrown into an act
lal engagement they would be cool headed
and be able to do their full part as soldiers
1t so happened that this brigade formed
part of the division of Buelrs army that
crossed the Tennessee on the evening OF
April at Shiloh Their splendid bearing
under fire ated from the time that Wise
bombarded their camp.

George William Curtis Beginning.
TIna Uauarj

Joe HOWaru-l
was reading but day or two since Of an
interview between George William Curtis
and the elder Harper:
1t seems that Mr.. Curtis, when q strug-
Cling youth, had written with great care
what seemed an interesting book, took the
manuscript to Mr.. Harper, who, in chilly
tone of voice, informed him that they had
recently published work on the same sub
,ect Curtis was about to take his manu-
script and retire when Mr.. Harpsr's eye fell
upon its peculiar neatness. Turning the
pages, here ard there a sentsnce struck him,
while the heart Of the young hopeful beat
sturdily beneath his vest Il will take this
book" said Mr.. Harper. The foot Of George
William Curtis was then upon the threshold.
Boldly he entered the room whence in all
time since his utterances havs commanded
respect and admiration What chance!
The mere dropping Of button, the simple
glance Of IN eye along freshly written,
legibly presented page settled his fate

The Bull.

Unlike the mule, the bull seals his dec
laration of war with the front end of his
body. And while the mule is satisfied
with nm attitude of calm and philosoph-
ical belligerency, the bull nearly fright
ems his victim to death with unseemly
demonstrations of wrath before finally
tossing. him into the great beyond. The
heels Of the mule may be the favorite re-
sort of the uncertainty of life, but on the
forefront of the bull sits a nightmare of
rampagcous fury that is worse than death.
l was nee chased over a tcn-acrc lot
by an angry bull, and I know whereof I
speak. The day of doom will not be a
fragment of a last years circumstance to
what 1 experienced on that occasion. He
cucd me, as a billiard player would say,
while yet fingered half way through the
fence, and [ thought the end of all things
had come, especially the front end of the
bull. And to all ~intcnts and purposes
the final cataclysm had, indeed, broken
loose. The fence tumbled down upon
me like, and the beautiful, bucolic land
scape was laccratcd beyond recognition.
10 add to my misery, some one struck
me with the butt-cnd of a brick house,
and jammcd a church stccple through my
left leg. And as if I had not achieved
enough glory for one day, the horizon
was rent in twain, the blue vault of heav-
en- collapsed, and a big fragment of the
sky fell on the small of my back.
My friends afterward tried to convince
me that all this was a Pigment Of my agi-
tatcd imagination. They cruelty secuted
the idea that I was punctured by a church
steeple, and substituted therefor an ordi-
nary 'way-down-on-thc-S uwannee-R River
horn. They even went SO far as to insin-
uate that the landscape was not much
hurt, and that it was only the demolition
of my two-dollar-and-a-hal %pantaloons
that made me think the graves were Civ
ing up their dead. But I carry with me
down this vale of tears a game leg and a
twisted spine'as proof of my assertions.
There is one good point about the bull
he can't climb a tree.-W Washington
Ratchet.

Chimncys.

In the year 1900. chimneys were scarce
ly known in England. One only was al
lowed in a religious house, one in a manor
house, and one in the great hall of a cas-
tic or lords house; but in other houses
the smoke found its way out as it could.
The writers of the fourteenth century
seem to have considered them as the new.
est invention of luxury. In Henry VIII. g
reign, the University of Oxford had NO
fire allowed; for it is mentioned TINT,
after the students had supped, having no
fire in winter, they were obliged to take
a good run for half an hour to get heat
in their feet before they retired for the
night. Holinshed, in the reign of Eliza
beth, describes the rudencss of the pre-.
ceeding generation in the arts of life.
''Therc werc," says he, Every few chin.
neys; even in the capital towns the fire
was laid to the wall, and the smoke issued
out at the door, roof, or window. The
houses were waited and plastered over
with clay, and all the furniture and uten-
sils were of wood" In 1850 a tax of two
shilings were laid on %chimneys.

that old chap kicked up when he found
himself toggledl He raped the water
with his fhikes until the sound could be
heard a mile away, and he rolled his huge
bulk to starboard and port until he raised
a sea heavy enough for a ten-knot breeze.
BY and by he seemed to get ratified, and
off he went. towing wrcckage, schooner,
and all. He made the most tremendous
efforts to get clear, but as this was i'm
possible, he headed right out to sea, and
at length was lost to sight. About mid
night that night we were picked up by q
coaster. The mate and one of the boys
were clean gone, probably drowned under
the Fly as she went over, but the other
boy-now q man-is living in New Or
leans, and can back every statement I
have made. "-Nep York Sun.
