for some West Point graduate Of that years
class, who had been studying and dancing on
the banks of the Hudson during the years
while Thorpe had been fighting on the banks
of the Rappahannock, the Rapidan and the
ChickahomiDy.
Is it any wonder that such man, the peer
of any officer of any army IN the world would
refuse to re.enlist under such hopeless cOndi-
tions? So, after Bethesda Church, when, by
other assignments to the vacancies in the 4th
Art, itappeared that Thorpe recommendations
had been ignored, he quietly pockcted his hon
orable discharge and went home.
For my own part / did not expect promotion,
joining as late as | did in the war, but was
quite as well off in that respect rs many of the
old Wisconsin, Indiana and Michigan men who
were veterans of two years service when was
a recruit. No men ever did better, braver or
trucr service than the detached volunteers
of Stewards battery; but when their three
years were up they took their honorable dis
charges and went home. This was, as / said
not because they disliked their commander or
their comrades in tho battery, but simply be-
cause they were picked men, far above the
average of private soldiers in intelligence, edu-
cation and ambition, and they could see no
chance of promotion in the battery. Many Of
them felt that If they had stayed in their in
noted They were diseOntented, not with
their commander, whom they all liked with a
devotion seldom seen among men, but with the
hopeless conditions of service in our artillery.

A BRIDGE IN FORMER DAYS.
A road crosses this trail about two miles
northeast Of Brandy, which goes TO Kelly's

Chapel and through the Cat-tail section. To

Mount Dumping forking at Berry Hill, TO

point of communication, and was a road

Virginia militia who camped there on their

tight that they could not march forward

A young and beautiful Washington bride Of
seven weeks, well known in society, whose al
ready jealous husband compels her not only to
pass over to him for inspection all the letters
she receives, but all she writes, thus wrote

GETTING SHOT.
Tho Delightful Sensation nj the Moment.


The dread of being shot in battle Is far greater
before the action begins than aftcrward. This
is tho almost universal testimony of soldiers
who have been in battle. There is another
point in connection with this subject upon
which IL might be interesting to hear what old
soldiers have to say, that is tho sensation felt
at the moment of being struck by bullot.
My experience is that it is not at all painful.
The pain and suffering come in full force after
awhile, but at tho time of actual contact tho
flesh and nerves must be so deadened by tho
shock that there Is no painful feeling.

an ideal world. The roar and excitement of
battle were no longer present, and WAS float
ing in space, without effort and still without
pain. Then began sinking gradually through
kaleidoscope scenes and sweet strains of music

heavenly. From this state OF delicious exist
