ice at Vicksburg, was made major gen.
eral in 1864 and led the Sixteenth corps

Manuel Ganimara marched to Mos

years ago. He was vigorous lad of
seventeen at that time, and his youth
and strength stood him in good stead
during the terrible retreat that followed.
He remained soldier of France until
after the event of Waterloo and even
yet retains his admiration for the great
captain in whose ranks he fought. On
the return of the Bourbons he removed
to England, married there, and has been
a resident of Norfolk county ever since.

Fooled by a Sharp Filibustor.

A. p. Hulse, late Of the Custom House,
tells good story Of some flibustering
that came under his notice thirty.two
years ago;
In 1883 Harry Maury, midshipmsn
who had resigned from the service OF the
United States Government, was in com
mand Of brig of Mobile Bay. The YES
sci was loaded with filibustors for Walker
aud was oyerhauled by revenue cutter.
An officer went aboard in the night with
instructions to seize the vessel and bring
her to Mobile. Meury, who was equal
to the emergency, prepared himself by
unshackling the anchor from the chain
and fastening a lantern to pole. When
the vessel arrived at Dog River bar il
il was hailed from the cutter and ordered
to come 10.
Then came the order "Let 20 your
anchor" Maury let go. "Pay out
thirty fathoms Of chaium was the next
order Maury ran the chain through the
hawser hole and over the rail back on
deck. He was ordered next TO hoist a
light, which he did by lighting the Ian
tern already affixed TO the pole aud stick
ing the latter in the mud He then,
when all was quiet, put of down tn.
bay leaving the cutter watching the light,
which il did until morning.
In the meantime the officer from tho
cutter who was in charge Of the iilibustor.
ing vessel was down in the cabin playing
cards and drinking champagne On ar
rival at the entrance OF the hnrbor the
officer was tapped on the shoulder and
told of where they were and asked
il he wished to 60 ashore. A boat
was at his service and he took Il, return.

A very singular form Of neuralgia ia
that affecting the nerves Of amputated
limbs. II not rarely happens that after
an amputated stump has healed the
nerves Of the stump, being compressed
in the scar, becomes exceedingly painful.
Curicusly enough, the pain is not felt ia
the stump, but seemingly in the extrem-
ity Of the limb, which has probably bctn
buried for year or more. In one case
coming under the notice Of the writer
man whose arm had been amputate
above the elbow often referred 10 the
pain he felt in the little finger Of tho
severed member for years after the opef.
alton. An old, onelegged soldier, ap.
plying for an increase Of pension, said
II have more pain ia the foot that amt
than In the one that are. This was his
terse way Of saying that he continued 10
have pain IN the foot which was Lost on
the battle field years before.
The explanation Of these curious pho
Domena consists in the fact that the ter
mina flamcnts Of a nerve are liz most
sensitive parts; they are the "feelers, the
points from which the sensations start on
their course TO the brain, where they give
notice that something Is wrong with the
outlying districts. When the nerve il
injured in this continuity the sensation is
often referred 10 the terminal ends.
Everyone who has struck his "crazy
bone"-the point above tho elbow,
where the ulnar nerve is very superficial
and easily injured must have noticed
how much the sensation vas affected 10
the little finger, the pain being often
greater than that at the point where the
blow was struek.--St. Louis Republic.
