They turned andpassed adown the hill,
Abashed before his iron will.
Over the island and over the main,
Along the sand, rock and the plain,
Over the rivers sparkling tide,
And through the glades on either side,
The deepest tumult filled the air,
As if an hundred and more were there
The rolling drums and flashing arms
Rang through the wales their wild alarms.
Swift from the reedy covert fed
The frightened women round the Head.
Down the broad sound, out to the bay,
With quaking haste they swept away.
And Agawam was saved to be
The fairest village by the sea.

Why They Are Not Public Spirited.

Why They Are Not Public Spirited.
There are gentlemen of wealth in this
city who are noted for their want of public
spirit. Their names don't often appear as
subscribers to the enterprises that are
frequently brought to the attention Of the
people. They make Investments in stocks
and bonds that pay regular dividends.
They are living according to the
lights before them, and they have
marked out safe and com
Portable way of getting through life.
Their fathers probably had sad experiences
in different sort of life, and in encourage
ing public enterprises. 1t may be that
their fathers were Of that class of men of
whom Savannah fortunately has still
large number-men who subscribe literally
to all undertakings which tend to advance
the general welfare, who serve on
committees, or as officials without
pay, direct or indirect, and who
are made targets for envious and malicious
remarks. When their names appear in the
public prints in connection with an under
taking of any kind, stories are started that
they are engaged in some deep-laid scheme
purposes, and not infrequently they are
made the subject of Inaliciously- concocted
lie that emanates from some envious ind-
yidual
Such men are placed in peculiar posi-
ton. If they do not take an active part
in every enterprise that is started. they are
accused of sulking or of opposing it, and if
they do lend it helping hand they are ac-
cused of trying to get into everything and
of monopolizing everything.
Is 1t a wonder, therefore, that some men,
knowing these things by tradition or expe-
rience, refuse to take an active part in pub
lie enterprises Savannahs public servants,
salaried officials holders of offices Of honor
and trust, heads of committees and officers
of corporations, can show as clean records
as can be shown in any other city-cleaner,
in fact, than can be shown in many cities
yet the yelpers, the sore heads and the de-
famers are constantly at work inventing
ISLANDERS that injure all by causing capable
men, who are ready and willing to do all
they can to advance the public good, to
shrink from publicity and withhold the as
sistance which the public needs.

But her Tom was quite commercial and of

He was ignorant, she said, as any circus clown

as any kitten
He went to making money and forgot his wild
despair.

generate
Into a sordid business man. a trifing mil

But she wed scientific, and his tastes were
qute terrific.
For various kinds of insects and for toads and
other game;
And, instead of plaques and pictures, rattle

He'd take into his sitting to ornament
the same.
As jealous decorator he preferred an alligator

And you ought to hear him talk awhile of his

That he played with in his parlor just to while

And his cobra di capello, a very charming fellow.

But he sold his wife's piano to buy ipecacuanba
To feed his hippopotamus to ease his stomach

And a shark ate up his baby, for you know how
hungry they be-
And he went and pawned his overcoat to feed
his rattlesnakes.

MAJOR BUNDY's WHISKY SHOT.
An Episode in the Career of Gallant
Soldier Journalist.
From the KenneSaw Gazette.

From the KenneSdw Gazette.
Some interesting things are remembered by
Shernan's Atlanta campaign veterans in con
nection with Lieut.. Bundy. commanding bat
terry of artillery-now known as Maj. Bundy,
and one OF the editorial writer's on Deacon
Shepard's New York Mul and Express
Lieut.. Bundy had a tooth for a good toddy.
and one morning at Kennesaw mountain had
sampled some Diamond b" oommissary with
some other officers, and reached his battery in
excellent spirits. Soon Col. Geary rode that
way, and, observing the lieutenant, bruftiy ad-
dressed him like this:
Lieut.. Bundy, you're drunk"
Bundy answered back as quick as flash:
"COl. Geary, you are - liar!N
Here was a situation. Geary was about to
put Bundy under arrest, saying to him: You
are so drunk you don't know that gun from a
hollow log "
II don't Ell? III show you whether do or
not. See that bunch of rebs over there?'-
pointing to group of confederate officers tax
ing an observation from an eminence half a
mile away-"Just watch me scatter EN-"
Selling the tail of gun, he jerked 1t around,
got the range, adjusted everything to his liking,
gave the order to fire, exploding finch shell
right in the midst of the group Of contederates,
who hastily retired to cover, carrying with them
their wounded
Col Geary withdrew his offensive remarks
complimented Bundy on his skill, and rode
away
Lieut.. Bundy was an expert arterist, and
could land shell about where he wanted to.
The writer has often heard it said by federals
who ought to know that he fired the shot that
killed Gen. Polk.
