A Relic of tho War.

The Listener witnessed recently an In.
terestlng little ceremOny-the removal OK
three charges from an old revolver, which
had been borne, aud evidently used, by
an officer on the field of Cedar Creek, on
Oct 10, 1854 On that day, Capt g. t.
W, of the Thirtieth Massachusetts,,
had. as he charged with his company the
stone wall behind which the Confederates
were entrenched, drawn this old five
shooter, Of the most approved ante war
type, which looks about rs much like the
ordinary Colt or Smith & Wcsson Of this
day as q revolutionary tlrelOck does Ike
the latest pattern Of magazine rifle. The
revolver was loaded but the captain had
discharged two shots from it. Then he
was himself shot through the heart, and
fell The men pushed on; the Confeder-
ates were driven from their position, and
defeat turned into victory; but when Gen.
Sheridan rode before the reformed line,
and complimented the troops upon their
bravery, the gallant captain lay back
upon the field, among the dead and
wounded.
His revolver, with the remaining three
charges in il, was sent home toh his family,
anu lIDui luUL uLl ~ llAlS AAo ShoA5 's AN
maiued in Il, like sheathed weapon ready
for service. Occasion had arisen, how
ever, to pass the old pistol on to u still
younger hand, and it was deemed best 20
draw the old charges at last. So the three
percussion caps, that looked as old fash
toned as a flint lock itself to this genera
ton, were removed. The bullets, with
their paper cartridges, were carefully
drawn; and the powder fell out Of them,
some of it as bright and doubtless as
energetic, II one were to test it, rs when
the captain loaded his revolver before the
battle Of Cedar Creek. To one who vas
there, the sight Of those old cartridges
must haze brought back q grim aud NOV
ing spectacle Of as gallant charge as the
war had known Boston Transcript

Crossing the Muddy Street.

/ stood at a corner on Main street the
9theT day and watched the people making
their way across the muddy street. Did
you ever notice how differently this is
done by different people
There is the lady who pauses moment
arily In dismay, then gathers her skirts
with one hand and daintily picks her way,
striving 10 step where some mans big
brogan has left its imprint, but failing be-
cause the brogan took such long steps.
Then comes the well dressed man who
never deforms his shapely feet with over
shoes lie glances down at his well pol
ished boots, mutters an imprecation about
the street commissioner, and walks across
on his heels, maintaining his balance with
difficulty and losing his temper altogether.
Tho old resident who IS used TO this sort
Of thing, and who would not feel at home
with clean pavement in the spring time,
does not permit the muddy crossing TO
delay him, but with skill, born OF long
experience, takes advantage Of every pro-
jecting dry spot that the pavement affords,
and doesn't get very muddy after all
But the man who produced the strong
est impression upon me, the man whom
you viii at once recognize, was the man
whose unpublished boots and insensibility
to dirt enabled him to disregard the mud
This man sets his foot down Ike q pile
driver, or yanks It through the liquid mud
like a snow plow and literally bespatters
everybody and everything within radius
Of Eve yards. You have met him; every.
body has met him. He has splashed you
with mud; he has splasbcd everybody.
He should zoe abatcd rs q public nui-
