Capt. John Howard, mtneralogist
for the Charlestown NJ, NJ. & L. Co.,
and who during the late war was an
officer in the 18th Md. Regiment, u.
S. army, has shown us a pocket bible
which he secured during the fight at
High Bridge, two days before the
surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomat-
tox, and which belonged to a Con-
federate soldier. The former owner,
the captain says, was gallant fellow
and stood his ground to the last, only
retreating when finally compelled to
do so by overpowering odds. Inside
the back of the book is written "a
present by William Croson to John
McBIichael," and between the leaves
are lock of hair, (probabIy that of
sweetheart, and gilded card bear
ing the following verse:
TRUE AFFECTION.
Emblem fair TO you send,
Token of affection true,
Showing where my feelings tend,
Like the magnet unto You.
Worlds may pass away and perish,
Every feeling die away;
But the constant love cherish
Never, never shall decay.
Capt. Howard would like, if the
former owner be alive, to return him
this relic. The captains address is

Called Back,

In the SUMMER Ui 1877. a dusty,
tired. looking party Of hOrsemrn,
forty in number. were vending their
way over the rolling prairie land OF
Western Nebraska. In the lead and
to the rear rode Il detachment of Un.
Gle Sans blue coated soldiers, com.
inanded by bearded captain whose
experience on the frontier had made
his name well known.
In the mlhst, carefully guarded,
were half dozen Chayenne Indians,
and following them came ten cl,izen>
whose garD bet0krnrd them to be
settlers of the plain, aud whose faded
horses showed that they had been
hard ridden. The soldiers were jubi
liant over their capture, the Indians
were stOlidly Indifferent. while the
p;ainSinen wore suilen c0uutenanceS
which brooded no good for the rel
prisoners. The Indians were por.
ton of II raiding party that tWo days
before had attacked uutIaying settle
menls aud massacred several entire
families.
The citizens were Il party that had
been formed to follow the Indians
and avenge their outrage: and thai
morning they had surrounded their
fhe and were bent on their anninila
tiOD, when the troopers had suddenly
come upon the scene. and, to the dis
gust of the settlers, Captured the
whole party, and thus robbed them
Of their revenge.
An hour later a camp was selected
by the side Of a clear stream which
cOursed over a white sandy bottom.
Une of the citizens who had not dis
mounted rode up to the group Of In.
dIans and addressed wrinEled luck
whose hard cOuntenahce clearly be,
spoke his bloOdthirsty nature.
What's that on your Shirt.Iijun" "'
he asked.
