A SOLDIERS WORD


How It Was Kept by Confederate nj
tho Risk Of His Life.
Lieut. O. A. Coryell, formerly of
the One Hundred and Ferty-frst New
York volunteers, Twentieth army
corps, was with Sherman on the IA
nous march to the sea. One bright
Sunday in December, 1864, the lieu
tenant was detailed to- take charge Of
the picket line in front of Savannah,
on the edge of rice swamp. There
, was truce between the pickets, and
, everything wore Sabbath like still
ness.
Coryell had nothing to do and was
out OF tobacco. How to get chew
was the question. Finally hand
some young officer from the Confeder-
ate line strolled out between the lines
Coryell hailed him at once
II say, Johnny, if l come over to
you can l get tobacco and return safe
ly to my lines2"
"Come along; I'll treat you right"
"How do I know that I'll not be
taken prisoneri"
"You have the word of gentleman
and Confederate officer"
Coryell thought moment and then
decided to make the venture. He laid
| aside his sword and belt and started
across the narrow dixie leading to the
Confederate line. On either side of
the dixie the water in the rice fields
was five feet deep.
The lieutenant reached the opposite
shore without any misgivings. The
Confederate produced some tobacco
Ia
Then the two fell into pleasant con-
versation.
Suddenly Coryell saw a signal fut-
ter from house some distance in the
rear of the Confederate line.
What does that mean2" he asked,
sharply.
II don't know" replied the Confed-
crate.
Just then an orderly dashed up on
horseback and, with dignifed salute,
said to the Confederate officer:
Lieutenant, the general orders you
to take the Yankee officer to head
quarters"
Coryell was dumfounded. Then he
looked at the Confederate lieutenant
and noted his honest eyes and manly
face.
Gam I your prisonera" asked Co.
| ryen.
The Confederate extended mis- right
hand.
II offered you my protection" he
said. "Go to your lines. I will fol
low you over the dixie, and if my body
can shield you from Confederate lead,
you shall reach your command in safe
ty. Good-by, and God bless your
The Federal started OH his return
trip. He was half way across when
tho first shot came. There was an.
other and another, until whole bri
| gade seemed to be firing at him.
The fugitive walked rapidly onward
until he reached the Federal lines and
vaulted over the breastwork. Then he
looked back and saw his protector on
the dixie. The Confederate waved his
hand, turned about and marched back
to his own side. He had kept his
promise like true soldier.

A Two Headed Fish.

DR.. Williams of Waycross, who is
tenting with his family at st. Simons,
has natural curiosity in the shape of
minnow with two distinct heads.
The doctor was walking ON the
beach when he came to pool of
water. He naturally desired to see
something of the inhabitants of the
pool, and after throwing some of the
water out he noticed this strange look
ing fish. Picking it up he conveyed
it to the pavilion, where it excited
considerable surprise.
1t is a common sized ninnow, its
body and tail being of the usual shape
and size.
The two heads branch out from the
body, and peculiar thing is that the
fish has four eyes.-Brunswick Times.

Danced the Bottom Out of Their Boat.

Hugh Gaffney, of Birmingham, had
the honor of rescuing three young
women from very unpleasant posi-
ton. The girls were out in a shaky
boat on the Housatonic river, just be-
low the spile bridge on the Derby ex-
tension, when in their exuberance of
spirits they began to dance and sing.
The bottom of the boat could not with
stand the treatment received. It gave
way and let the girls into FIVE feet of
water. They were in a sad plight
when rescued. The river, although
wide, is very shallow at that point. SO
they were in no great danger.-New

Queen vIctoria's New York Real Estate.

Apropos Of the royal marriage por-
ton debate in England it is worth
while to note that a part OF Queen
Victoria's savings Is invested in real
estate in New York city, and each
year the queen of England draws q
handsome income from rentals paid
by resident New Yorkers. The rents
are collected quietly, and perhaps the
tenants themselves do not know that
