During one of General Bragg's cam

crate infantry regiments was cashiered
for failure to appear with his regiment
at some critical moment. An old
West Pointer who was hanging around
Bragg's headquarters with nothing to
do was ordered to command the regi-
ment in the next battle. When the
regiment was ordered to charge, they
raised the rebel yell and rushed for.
ward; but the colonels horse-an old
''scrub" ne had borrowed" bucked, :"
and refused to move. On went the
men; but the colone's beast held his
ground. But about the time the op-
posing line broke, the colonel got un.
der way. and was received. as he
galloped up, with wild cheers. IL don't

Married

On Monday, Feb. 18th, 1888. at the
residence of Mr.. j. Greene, Potosi. Mr..
p. G. Burns. of Homer, Minnesota, and
Miss Lille Davies Greene, of Potosi.
Rev. E. M. Cory, of Potosi, was the
officiating clergyman. There was a
small party composed of the brothers
of the bride and their families, and the
other near relations. Some choice and
useful gifts were presented to Mr.. and
Mrs. Burns. 1t was somewhat interest
ing 10 note the fact that both bride and
bridegroom were the youngest members
of their respective families. Mr.. Burns
is civil engineer by profession and in
connection with his business in the
last few years has become somewhat
acquainted with Potosi people, produc-
ing good impression on those who
knew him. Mrs. Lille Greene Burns
has many friends here who think her
a charming companion and who will
miss her very much. They are not sur
prised that a gentlemanly surveyor
should find in her his ''ideal". She IS
possessed of a beautiful voice and 1t
will be hard to fill her place in our
musical circle. Everything about the
marriage festivity was in excellent
taste, and when those assembled accom-
panied Mr.. and Mrs. Burns to take the
train for their future home. for once the
gloomy locality of the Potosi depot
seemed full of agreeable suggestion, for
it is not often that its solemn and OPP
pressive silence is broken by the pleas
ing gayety ofsuch Il happy bridal party.
