llnrnra In Battle.

When il comes 10 battle. horse
seems To know everything that is GO
ing on; but lie does his duty nobly,
and seems TO be in his element. He
enters into tho spirit of the battle like
a human being. He shows no fear Of
death. and il is singular that il his
mate is shot down he will turn to look
at him and seemed pleased. A horse
in my battery was once struck by
piece Of shell. which split his skull, no
that one side was loose. The driver
turned him loose, but he walked up
by the side Of the gun and watched
the firing, and when shot was fired
would look away in the direction Of
the enemy, rs il 10 see the effect Of the
shot. When n shell would burst near
by he would calmly turn and look at
il. When he SAW his own team going
back for ammunition he ran back 10
his own place and gallopcd back 10
the c:iisson with the rest When the
lieutenant pushed him aside 10 put in
another horst. hc looked ut the other
one sorrowfuily while he was being
harncssed up and when he seemed 70
realize that there was no further use
for him he lay down and died. Tho
lieutenant strongly asserted that he
died of broken heart.
At the time that Adams, Jackson's
and Preston's brigades charged me at
Murfrcesboro some officer was killed
and the brigades were driven back.
But the fallen officers horse had not
been taught TO retreat, and he did not.
lie just came at full speed through tho
battery. and tell You he looked some
thing grand. He was q large, fine
animal, his nostrils were extended
wide, his eyes fairly blazed, and he
clutched the bit with his teeth us he
came on. lie came like tho wind. and
with his saddle flaps flying hc looked
as il ho were flying himself instead Of
running. Everybody gave him wide
berth, and called 10 tho infantry
that l would give $i0O To tho man
who would catch him. but no ono
tried il. and lie is running yet for all
know. San Francisco Chronicle

A Remarkable Woman.

people, and in her hands the empire,
which some thirty years ago seemed
ON the verge Of dissolution. has rc-

bility. In February last the Empress

Picturesque sights arc 10 be- seen

The young man said he came hero

him that her father was dead and that
she would sail on the Etruria.

Ho went into the rotunda and soon re.

The joy Of the two young lovers at
meeting was very touching, and drew
tears to the eyes Of Detective Peter
Gro,lcn. who is used to such scenes.
Taking her tendcrly by the hand the
young man, whom she called Tom,
led her around the path to tho rear o:
the police Office. Here they embraced
half dozen times and lavished kiss
upon kiss upon one another. They
did not speak. Their eyes alone told
their tale Of love and waiting. Plac.
ing her arms around his neck she
gazed with long and lingering fond.
ness into his eyes, while he kissed her.
This continued for fully fifteen min.

watching the scene and envying the
young mans position until newsboy
entered the gate. He did not recog.

startled them from their dream OF
