The First Alarms at Fort Nor
gan:

From the Americas (Ga.) Recorder.
When the Madison Rifles first reach
ed Fort Morgan, Ala, in April, 1861,
they were not provided with tents, and
slept out on the white sand around
;hefort. There was an Irishman in the
company named Anthony Judge, as
witty a fellow as ever hailed from old
Erin. About 10 o'clock of the first
night after arrival, while all the COM
pany except picket guards, stationed
mile off, were asleep, stiff breeze
sprang up and the loose sand drlfted
swiftly over the sleepers, and soon had
some Of them covered. Anthony was
the first to awaken, and not seeing all
the forms of the sleeping men, yelled:
captain Coltart! Captain! Wake
up; a.h-l of q shnow starm has ris,
and the last mothers son if We will be
entirely drowned if We amt up" The
drummer heard the noise, beat the long
roll, and in a few minutes it resounded
in every camp around. The guards
were doubled, companies hurried over
the beach, but as it was feared Colonel
IIdEucc, WHO WIS lIlcIl COIllIIldUUuDC
there, would punish Anthony, he was
never reported.
About an hour later another yell
was heard from the gulf side of the
beach from one of the pickets, who had
been posted while the tide was out,
and ordered not to leave his post.
The poor fellow had never been in
sight of salt water before, and when
the tide came rolling in, stood to his
post. When the water had risen to
his waist, he commenced yelling for the
corporal of the guard. The corporal
was at the other end of the line so tie
officer of the guard went to the call.
He found his man in water up to his
neck, but still determined to stay un-
til he was ordered back. He said to
the officer: "There has been the d
biggest rain somewhere youns has
heard CT; this erik has ris twenty foot
an hour" He was relieved and sent
to camp.

A Woman and a Telegram.

The other day, says the Cincinnati
Sun, a young housewife left her home
in this city to spend a few days with
several lady friends in Hamilton. Be-
fore going she provided good supply
of cold edibles for her husband, and
told him that he could help himself
whenever he was hungry. He took
lunch down town and went home in the
evening for dinner.
AS he tells the story he found cold
chicken, cold butter, cold pie, cold
milk, cold salt, cold mustard, and sew
eral other cold dishes, but with all
that ne was not entirely satisfied, and
hunted high and low for sonnet hing
else. At first he did not know what it
was, but finally concluded that he
wanted bread. He knew there
was some in the house. but he
could not find it. Finally he conclud-
ed to telegraph his wife, for he could
not live without bread. Accordingly
a telegram asking 'Where is the
bread?" was dispatched.
The wife received it in the midst of
of number of ladies, and 1t frighten-
ed her nearly to death. With the cry,
81 know it is bad news; l know Mr..
BIS killed." she fell in faint.
The ladies present cried from SYM
pathy, and most lugubrious scene
presented itself when the man of the
house happened in. whats the mat
ter here?" he asked. "Mrs. BIS hus-
band has been killed and she has faint
ed" was the reply. "How do you
know" he asked. "Oh, she got a
telegram" Where is it?" 1--WE
havn't opened it yet"
Imagine the scene when the SYM
pathetic creatures read the message,
In about an hour the reply was sent
back to him: "You mean thing. It's
in the bread-box, under the piano,
where l hid it from the cook.

How They Trap Bears in Maine.


Mr.. Knapp, Veteran Hunter, in Lewiston
Journal
usually build n rubby.house iii the
woods out OF old stumps and decayed
branches. / sorter pile lem around,
you know, and leave a little opening
for the bear togo IN, after he sees the
consarn and his curiosity is excited. l
catch some suckers or other kind OF
fish in the river and hang 'em up in
this cubby. Then try to fix the trap
so that the bear will have to step on
the trencher II he gets the fish. A
bear never steps on a log in his path,
but always steps over it. usually fix
the trap on tother side of a log or
branch so that he will be pretty sure
to step over the log and into the trap.
A knowing old bear won't go into one
OF these cubbies. Sometimes after
trying to catch an old sheep thief in
this way and not getting him, l have
caught the old fellow by hanging a
string Of fish in careless way
on some tree, as if left there
accidentally by some sportsman,
and putting a strap underneath.
Sometimes | find q track where q
bear had d habit of fording brook.
take away the stone in the brook
which the bear steps on when he
crosses, and put the trap in its place.
When the bear feels after the old and
familiar stone, his fore-paw is caught
in the trap.
Some bears have learned to smell a
trap, so we have to kill the smell.
We do that by daublng it over with
lard and beeswax. I have twelve
traps and visit 'em twice week. The
bear is usually caught by the fore-paw.
He does MT live more than twenty
four hours after the jaw closes on him,
as general thing. In warm weather
the pelt would soon spoil if did not
get it pretty quick after the critter
died. The fur is in the best condition
when the bears are housing, latein the
fall. Then it is as nice as Merino
sleeps wool. l get IS to $15a piece
for my pelts. The bears spend the
winter in the lodges about here and
under the stumps. Since we had that
hurricane that blew down so many
trees, there have been q lot of cosy
places for bears around here.

That SAUSAGE.

A clergyman in a southern state was
on his way to preach a funeral SER
mon. AS he was passing the house of
widow lady, member of his con-
gregation, she ran out and stopped
him, saying, as they just slaughtered
their hogs, she had put up few pounds
OF sausage us a present, adding that,
as she had put it in double paper
pockets, she thought it would not soil
his clothes. He thanked her earnestly
Tor her kindness, and rode on, having
put the parcel in his pocket.
All the time he was officiating at the
grave O. large, half-starved hound kept
snuffng around him, sometimes APP
preaching alarmlngly near, attracted
by the scent of the fresh meat. AS the
deceased was a man of some promi-
nence, there was considerable crowd
collected, and great mourning and la
nlentatlon came from the family
group; SO no one paid any attention
to the movements OF the animal; but
all noticed with concern-for he was
beloved by his congregation-the great
pallor of the clergyman, and the beads
of perspiration standing upon his
brow, and they began to whisper to
each other that Mr.. H must be i'll.
After the interment they all pro-
ceeded to the church, where the funer-
al sermon was to be preached. just
before entering, Mr.. H. - turned
round to ascertain the whereabouts
of his tormentor, when 10 there he was,
g. fuo,,o hin, hut Tho orou,1 Y,vo-
vented him from approaching too
closely. Just at this moment some
one gave the poor creature o cruel
kick; which sent him off bowling.
When the minister reached his pulpit
-one of those old-fashioned affairs as
cended by short, steep fight ofsteps
he breathed more freely. He was
just about to commence his duties
when the sexton, good old man,
came noiselessly up the steps with q
slip of paper in his hand. which he
wished to give to the minister, but
was unnoticed by that gentleman,
though seen by all the congregation.
He gently twitched his coat to attract
his attention. A thrill OF horror
passed over the unhappy preacher at
the dreadful thought that the dog had
entered unseen in the crowd, and was
now about to take forcible possession
of the sausage before the whole as
sembly; so, hoping to drive him away,
he kicked back cautiously but vigor-
ously, and struck the old man in the
breast, who rolled down the steps.
Seeing the look ofsurprise and alarm
on the faces of the audience, he stam-
mered out, with CRIMSON face: 81 must
explain to you, my brethren, what
must seem my incorporate conduct.
A friend came out to me as was pass
ing her house, with small package of
sausage for me to carry home in my
pocket, but ever since dismounted
from my horse this old dog"-point-
ing behind to the PROSTATE sexton, but
without looking round-"has been fol-
lowing me and at last came into the
pulpit and has been tugging at my
coat, determined to get the sausage
from my pocket"
At this moment, the sexton, q little
stunned and q little hurt, arose from
the floor, and the minister at glance
took it all in, stared wildly at him.

pale and sat down, overwhelmed with
