A Fair Exchange.

The day after the battle Of Bull Run
July y, 1850, while burial parties were
busy a5 their then unaccustomed work,
Mike Flaherty. a member of the Second
s. G. ", wandered away from his COM
rades, and while strolling through the
woods came upon a Yank, cold and stiff,
with a new pair Of shoes on his feet.
Now, Mikes shoes were much the worse
for wear, and the poor fellow looked
long and wistfully at the new brogans.
It would never do to rob the dead, and
yet he wanted the shoes.
Finally he sat him down, united the
strings with many furtive glance at
the dead mans face, pulled off the shoes
and tried them on. They fitted perfectly,
and Mike sat eying them regretfully.
Suddenly brilliant idea flashed into
Mikes brain. Why not swap? It was
done. The old shoes took the place Of
the new, and were securely tied on the
dead mans feet, and Mike, with a long
drawn sigh, said IN half apologetic
manner, "Them's plinty good enough
for where you're GOWN. W lunteer.

The Bull Run Races.

It Is well known that John A. Logan,
who was member Of Congress at the
time the war began, left Washington
when he saw there was going to be a
fight, and, seizing D musket, walked all
the way to Bull Run, where he arrived
just in time to take part IN the battle.
He had on a swallowtail coat, but he
stood up to the rack as long as anybody
did He was back in Washington next
morning a good deal out of breath, and
was telling some Of his fellow congress
men all about it.
'sWho gave you this account of the
6ghtr' asked member from the north
woods of New York.
fsWhy, I was there myself" said
Logan. The New Yorker evidently had
not heard the news, for he seemed a lit
tie mystiiied, and asked. as If wishing to
solve the mystery of Logan's speedy re-
appearance, care the cars runningY'

Instantaneous Deaths in Battle.

The fact that man is down and out
Of the fight is about all that friend or
foe can take account of for the time be-
ing. It is reasonable to suppose, how
ever, that some deaths are instantaneous,
the men being literally killed in action.
One such case I had an opportunity to
study with unusual care at Fort Has
kel1, in the Fort Stedman battle, In
front. of Petersburg. The action there
was defensive on our part, the scene
very small and the fight prolonged,
hence many things were observed that
would escape notice on an open field.
At one time, just In front Of me, as
looked toward the enemy, there was
soldier Of our garrison firing his musket
from gun staging, that raised his head
and shoulders above the parapet. He
was the Oldest man ever saw in battle,
and for that reason, doubtless, OBJ
served him closely. His hair was white
and his form had reached the stage Of
unsteadiness. He fired very slowly, and
after each shot he would scan the en-
emy's lines as though watching the re-
suit of his Last ball or spying out a tar
get for the next.
Finally when had my attention al
most wholly on him he half turned to
reload, and saw his cap fly off smart1y
without any visible help, and the large
and bony frame shrunk together and
sank down into heap. There was no
spasm, no agitation, whatever. It SEEM
ed TO me that he simply sat down slowly
until he rested on his legs bent under the
body, his head going down to his knee or
to the trail of the cannon. A little
stream Of blood ran from his forehead
and made pool on the plank, and this
blood reached the plank about the time
that his frame settled down motion1ess.
From the time that his hat flew off
until the blood appeared on the stag
ing and the motionless body caused me
to say, HE is dead" could not have
been more than thirty seconds, and prob
ably was about twenty. The fatal ball
had penetrated the left temple, or near
it. This was the only case that I ever
saw where man was killed $50 quickly
that he never knew what hit him." as
the saying is.-New York Sun.

Thank you, general, I" said the proud
young soldier, blushing, and turning to
go out Of the tent.
NOne moment, sergeant" the adjutant
called out. "Your full name, please"
"John Sherman Royce, SIR"
Where did you get the name of Sher-
man, young man?' said the general, with
searching glance.
"From my mother, sir. She was a
New England Sherman"
my boy, I am glad to see you. Your
mother was probably one of our connec-
tions, but have been away so long to
the wars and on the plains that have

relative at home"
''Then why didn't you come to me
before. That name is good around

good soldier you'd find me out IN the
end, and if was not you wouldn't want

ground and whipped the enemy. Still,
that might not make your fortune IN
these times without q friend at court,

spark of honest pride IN his bosom. He

One Of the lead mules got his forward

''straddled" me.
As soon as I saw that was between
the two lead mules, and that the team

IN lying down and taking the chances Of
the three pairs Of mules and wagon go

get out would mix them all up, so fell
right down IN the mud, which was about
a foot deep and like soft mortar. As
the mules passed on each side of me
every last one Of them kicked at me,

at least one of his sons If Carrie would
take the notion after while to come for
good and change her name to Royce.
Whether Jack or Dick would speak the
winning word Of invitation was cues
ton the wisest matchmaker In the town
could not solve. Jack waited that even
ing until he knew it was too Lite for a
call from the other house and then
strolled, somewhat nerT0Usly, ii that
direction. He found Carrie alone, among
the flower beds of the front yard. Her
greeting seemed like an ecno of what he
