Jackson,s PRESENCE of Mind.

Since the unwilling of Stonewall
Jackson's statue, this story about the
confederate general has come to light:
On one rainy day, while advancing on
Bull Run, he started out to reconnoiter
in person, and got caught on the wrong
side of bridge guarded by a field piece
and some federal artillerymen When
he discovered this, Jackson did not hes
itate moment Galloping up behind
the men, he shouted to the officer in
command: "Who directed you TO put
that gun on that roof? Take it away
and mount it in the woods on the hill
yonder. l never saw such piece of
folly. Here in the open ground your
men will be shot down from the brush
on the other side" On he went as
though in a terrible passion, berating
the officer, who colored, -saluted, apollo
gized, and hastily gave the order for
removing the gun. Jackson, with his
staff at his heels, galloped off to the
left as though to pass down the stream,
made sudden turn, Numbered across the
bridge and escaped The befuddled Of
ficer in command of the gun had not
gone far V hen he suspected something
wrong, but he did not discover who the
stranger was until next day.-Inde-

The FOrtU1--' ~~rOvery of a Soldier


The FortT1-+' ~~covery of a Soldiers
-,e Musket.
One of t.-c Ii st men who returned
from tie Gettysburg memorial encamp-
ment Is C. W. Bishiug, of Harveys
Lake, Pa He was a private in Capt
Rice's company, Fifty-third Pennsyl-
vania volunteers Bishipg was shot
twice a. Gettysburg, one bullet shatter-
ing an arm and another entering near
his right thigh. This occurred near the
bloody angle, and not far from the spot
on which the reyimental monument
stands.
As soon = - received the wounds he
set to work TO bury his musket lie fell
near big rock, and, though suffering
great pain and bleeding profusely, he
managed to scoop out enough dirt at
the base of the bowlder to slip his mus
ket into the excavation. Afterward
he carefully covered it, and wondered
whether he should ever see it again
Bishing accompanied the surviving
members of his old regiment to Gettys-
burg on the occasion of the dedication
of their monument. While there, &C
SOHi PdhASu hS SGNGTdl OIu COIlTdOcS, ne
started out to look for the musket he
had buried over twenty-six years ago.
The bloody angle was easily found,
and he soon distinguished the huge
boulder at whose base he had fallen
and where he had hidden the gun 1t
took but few moments to dig the earth
up, when, to his Joy, he struck the
old musket, and quickly resurrected
it. 1t had the appearance of Rip Van
Wrinkles fowling-piece. The stock had
fallen apart but was still in a good state
of preservation. The barrel was bound
about with thick coat of rust, and the
lock and other portions were in the
same condition
Bishing lifted the old musket tender
~, and as the recollection of the past
filed his mind, he kissed it with the
enthusiasm of father who has found
a lOng-lost child. He says he is poor,
but no money will buy the musket-

OChlltEee raced twenty Thousand strong
Alone, But His Horse Died.
The wOrld-famOus raconteur, Thomas
P Ochiltree, is never at loss to adorn
an otherwise commonplace conversation
with a story of thrilling adventure, mar
row escape or humorous incident. Re-
Gently at the Hoffman house a number
of men were telling of narrow escapes,
when the colonel told of a close place
he got into as follows:
Gentlemen, l was with Gen. Dick
Taylor when he operated against Gen.
Banks in the transmississippi depart
ment. 1t was shortly after the battle
of Pleasant Hill, and Banks was re-
treating to Grand Ecore. One day we
got near Gen. Banks army and Gen.
, Taylor asked me to head a squadron of
cavalry and charge. I~was mounted on
a coal black horse, and when l rode out
to take command of the squadron l
never thought to come back from the
charge alive. We had to charge across
an open field, a distance of one and one
half miles. l drew my sword, put
spurs to my horses sides and dashed
forward, ordering the cavalry to fol-
low. Some twenty thousand of Banks
infantry were drawn up in line just on
the edge of the field awaiting an attack.
OF course when l started l did not know
that twenty thousand men were waiting
to give warm welcome to a handful of
cavalry. When within three hundred
yards of the federals, 1 raised in my
stirrups and yelled to the squadron to
follow me. l expected to hear each
cavalryman yell, but to my dismay all
was silent. 1 turned my head to look,
when, horror upon horror! the squadron
was over mile from me in a swift re-
treat! had been riding across the
field alone, thinking they were right
behind me. They had evidently seen
the thousands waiting to pour a storm
of shot into us and had retreated, but
did not see them, as am net ar sighted
Of course saw them when Iyelled- A
CLEAN of bayonets extended for miles
right in front of me. My horse trem-
bled L held my breath expecting to
be moved down in a second. Turning
my horse 1 rode leisurely back and not
a shot was fired at me. My horse died
with nervous prostration half an hour
after got back. Why didn't the fed
eral army fire on me? I learned after
ward that they were ordered to fire, but
no soldier was pusillanimous enough to
shoot one man who had the courage TO
charge twenty thousand men, Gentle
men, believe in human nature and the
nobility of the volunteer soldier since
that event."-Boston Herald.

her feet crossed under her, her hands
folded in her lap. her head a very
little inclined, like the figure of Bud

and strings on strings of beads, gold

strangest of all. upon her cheeks we're
painted two elaborate, triangular

this time friends and relations, some
old, some young, but mainly Of the
indefinable age, vacant, weary, worn
out. At either end of the room was
a bed in the alcove, the curtains of
one of them was raised, and we're adj
mitted to present our compliments
and our silk handkertchlefs to the
bride. On the bed, as on little
stage, and surrounded by two or three
other women, sat the little bride, a
charmil ely pretty, young creature OF
twelve or thirteen. She sat-with
her embroidered vest and muslins
spread out, the hands folded, her face
deliberately painted under the eyes,
about the eyebrows, and with large
black patch in the middle of each
delicately' roughed Enthusiastically
motionless, scarcely raising her heavy
black eyelashes, and family smiling

simmer of gold embroidery, beads
