How SOME Soldiers Hunted for the
Rear In a faiyeHy Manner to Keep From
BEING Shot.
Century Magazinos A sense of cow
ardice seems to rob o being OF all his
manhood, When you YET q person acting
the coward you may sting him with re-
preach, hurl at him every epithet Of
contempt, even cudgel him as you would
a cur, and there Is usually not enough
manhood lett in hira 70 recent it; no
sense OF shame to which appeal can be
made. no srnsibilitiea TO wound.
Ths question is often asked whether
.men IN battle, when they break run to
the rear very fast. Usually they do not;
they often do not run ct all; the most
provoking part of 1t Is that they de-
liberately walkS away: and as to reason
ing with sassa, you might as we'll try to
reason with HOLSTERS when they scramble
ont of a basket and start for the water.
lThere was one soldier. however, in q
western army who in q retreat proved
an exception to the rule and showed
himself still master of the faculty of re-
sentiment. An irreverent general officer,
who was famous for designating his men
on all critical occasions by q title which
was anything but . pet name, called out
10 the soldier who was breaking for the
rear:
Halt there! turn round and get back
to the front, you--"
"Look-ee here, gin'ral,p said the man /,
cooking his gun and taking aim at the
officers head, when q man calls me a
name like sIch 90 that it's his last de-.
partin' word"
@Oh, put up your gum" said the gem
eral. II didn't mean anything. 1 for
got your other name"
Reasoning dictated by fear is seldom
logical. When a man becomes panic
stricken he recognizes but q principle
Tor his guidance, that MISREPRESENTATION
is the first law of nature, and is ready to
repeat the cry: ST would give all my
fame for q pot of ale and safety" The
Instincts of fear do Hot always guide him
to o safe place. In his confusion he
often rushes into more danger, and be-
comes q ludisious object to watch. In
one of the prominent battles, Q
soldier belonging to a command which
was supporting q battery was lying
down with the rest OF his regiment to
obtain some cover afforded by . us o.

IHE GOLDEN SPIKE.

How 1t Happened that so Many Mo
Inentoes are Made from it.
Ihe golden spike that united the
Union and Central Pacific railroads and
connected New York and San Francisco
by rail has. says the Oakland (Cal.)
Tribune. been imruortslized in song,
story and picture until it has become o
part OF the history of this country, and
wherever the Pacific coast ia heard OF
there will also the famous golden
spike OF the Central tactic be known.
There is one peculiar fact connected
with this golden spike, however, The
spike IS still in the custody of the Gen.
trci Pacific railroad company, and yet
there are many charms made from gold
that are said to be made from this spike.
The stories do not agree, aud much
speculation has been caused thereby.
The charms are made in the shape OF
little railroad spikes, each about an inch
long. They are engraved with the fact
that the metal was part OF the s'goldsn
spike" that joined the two roads, end
giving the date of the completion OF the
road, May 10, 1859. and the rame OF the
owner. These are looked upon AZ Rpu-
rious charms, but they are genuine, and
to explain this INT must 40 back into
history which is comparatively unknown.
The Central Pacific railroad now owns
the track that runs to the city OF Ogden,
but az an actual fact 1t never built this
road. For months the Central and
nc Pacific railroad had been facing,
one eastward and the other westward,
the Union Pacific aiming to get over the
Sierras and the Central aiming to get
the best pass over those mountains into
Nevada and beyond. At that time it
was the intention of the Union Pacific
to have an entrance into San Francisco,
and the Central Pacific was trying to
get as far east as possible before making
q connection. During the frat part Of
the year 1869 and the latter part OF 1868
each roa6 had its graders working night
and day. They met in the neighbor-
hood OF ~fromontory and passed each
other, n set grading to the eastward,
and the other to the westward within o
few hundred feet Of one another. Each
road had graded many miles beyond
their first meeting place whom the tracks
were laid to Promontosy, fi~tty-three
miles west of Ogden. Then they paused
and thought over the matter, and nego.
tiations were made by which the Gem
traa Pacific railroad purchased the track
into Ogden and the grading ceased.
Like immense mounds the abandoned
grades lay along the shore OF the great
Salt lake to bear witness TO the struggle
between two great roads.
But to return to the golden spike.
At ~Promontory the spike Was driven. and
with much ceremony and pomp was the
affair celebrated. The spike was made
of gold-pure gold-and on the tip of it
was a large limp of rough gold. This
was broken off. Leland Stanford drove
the spike, which was aftsrward carefully
drawn and preserved, and an iron one
substituted. II was from this rough
lump Of gold. east with the epike, that
the little watch charms are made.

 have coats wanting one arm, the

 may consist of dilapidated shako,
 a straw hat, wide-awake, or in many cases merely a handkerchief tied round the head. The officers hold their swords Tn either hand as suits them, and the men march past in admirable confusion. each one carrying his musket in the position he finds most convenient. The populace look on with ad- miring looks, and gravely ask if finer troops can anywhere be found.

The Army of Hayti.

The Haytians are an intensely vain people, and the thing they most pride themselves OF is their army. Nothing will convince them that as military power they are not vastly superior to any nation, either in the old or new world. Even those who have lived in European capitals are ad- dicted to this extremely ridiculous 'bal1erdash;" but when the real facts are presented, the state of affairs disclosed is simply sublime in its absurdity. The Haytian army must present to European beholders spectacle of grotesoue- ness, the equal of which it would be difficult to find anywhere. either in fact or fiction.

How Contagious Diseases Are
 Spread.

Farmers are often surprised
 during the winter season to find
 that their horses are afflicted with
 some contagious diseases, and
 are often unable to account for
 the way in which they get them.
 They are communicated from one
 horse to another, but the most common, perhaps, are those of watering from the same public trough along the roadside and feeding from the same boxes and managers at hotel and livery stables. The common hitching racks in the villages and towns throughout the country are good places for the in terchange of diseases, and to these alone can much of the trouble caused by these maladies be traced. Without thinking, horses are allowed to stand with their heads together for hours at the village store, or in the wagon yard in large towns, and yet some will wonder where their horses caught the distemper, or some other disease that may be worse. The careful horseman keeps con- stanr watch for such matters, and by so doing saves himself much trouble and expense and some- times the lives of valuable horses.
