Wars Awful Carnage.

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. of Virginia,
when in Washington a short while
! ago, told quite an interesting story
about the greatest fatality OF the war
in proportion TO the number of troops
engaged He was talking about Con-
gresham Carlton as an artillerist in
the war
When Gen. Sedgwick's corps" he
said, surprised our troops by cross
ing the Rappahannock at Eredericks-
burg. they captured regiment and
half of Gen Bark sdale's Mississippi
brigade and a portion Of the Wash
ington artillery stationed between
Fredericksburg and Hamilton's cross
ing, on the Richmond aud Fredericks-
burg Railroad Among these troops
so cut of wa battery OF artillery
In position just opposite Deep Bot
tom Run. on the Rappahannock
River. and far in advance 10 the bal
ance Of that portion of our line.
A brigade OF Sedgwick's corps
which had crossed the river at Deep
Bottom Run, discovering the poi
ton OF this battery and seeing that il
was unsupported by aud cut of
from the main line of our troops,
marched upon it preparatory to
charging and capturing il.
THE captain commanding this
battery. who is now Congressman
Carlton. of Georgia, discovering the
movement Of the enemy at once real
lied the situation, and knowing full
well that an attempt 10 retreat In the
face Of the enemy would result in the
capture and loss OF his battery
although entirely unsupported,
moved his guns forward, meeting the
advancing brigade. and when in
easier canister range, poured a vol
lev into the enemy's ranks, which
staggered and drove them back.
Reforming. they advanced again,
when Carlton repeated the uose WIN
the same success.
Attempting n third time 10 charge
the battery and seeing the resolute
determination Of Carlton aud his men
not TO Weld the field, they rushed pell
nell into an adjoining ravine, when
the artillerst turned his guns upon
them in their hiding place, and
scarcely man was left to tell the
fate.
The official report made few days
afterward by the Federal officer in
command Of the brigade, as to the
loss in this engagement, was about
I. 900 killed and wounded. The loss sus-
tanned by Cartons battery was re-

Papa's Lost Opportunity.

George Murgatroyed had just turned
over to sleep again after making his
sixth resolution To get up. But the
cry, fraught with anxiety and trepi-
dation, that came from the room be
low banished sleep instantly.
1t was his wifes voice-the dear girl
whom he had taken from parents,
or, rather, two parents. care.
George Come quick ~
What could be the matter? He re-

gasp, as he ripped his nightgown up

Still, she could not cry out like that

In his frantic haste he had on his
trousers hind part before and his

Like flash il came TO him, the tale
of yesterday, told by his little wife, at
which he had scoffed-God help him
A tale of a darkbrowed man who

had behaved so strangely that Maud
suspected him of being burglars

George If you don't come, it'll

What were collar buttons now that

third step he tripped over his sus-
penders and came down stairs on his
elbows and countenance.
Courage, Maud ~ he cried, I'm

He was only a pale book-kesper,
and unarmed save with natures
weapons, but not for a moment did
he falter.
You're too late, said Maud, with
a pretty pout, as George dashed into

AT THE GOAL.

They found him In the silent place
By his own fancy peopled fair,
Where cleaned on many pictured face
The light his own had ceased to wear.
Yet in the sightless eyes the while
There seemed some ecstaey OF trance,
And on the rigid mouth q smile
or more than life's significance.
They looked upon the painted scene
Fraught with tie magic OF his mind,
The outlined purpose, clear and keen,
That never now should sequence find.
Alas-they said-his hand is still
That shadowed forth the growing thought,
Powerless his subtle brain and will
That life TO deeper meaning wrought!
Alas! alas !-again they cried
To miss the vision almost found!
To fall upon the mountain side
SO near the summit glory-crowned!
But still the dead eyes gazed before,
Like one who sees the happy end;
And still the face transfigured wore
The look they could not understand.
For they that DER him sorrowing bent,
And mourned the life too early done,
Wist not the smiles pale rapture meant,
The dream fulfilled, the glory wont

When quite young at school. Dan

violation OF the rules. He was de-
tected 10 the act, and called up by
the teacher for punishment. This
was to be the old-fashioned ferruling
Of the hand. His hand happened TO
be very dirty. Knowing this, on bis
way to the teachers desk he spst up
on the palm OF his right hand, wip-
ing it of on the side OF his pants-
looms. "Give me your hand, sir,'
said the teacher, very sternIy. Out
went the right hand. partly cleaned.
The teacher looked ut Il . moment.
and said. Daniel. II you find another
hand in this room as filthy ~ that, !

from behind his back came the LETT
hand. Here It is, SIR" was the
ready reply. THAT will do this time,'

rHKY TRTRD IT AGAIN.

Miss Elizabeth was n very peculiar
woman. She had great deal OF
sense. Not that she was different
from other women In this respect,
but she had so much OF 1t that IL sur
prisrd many young men.
One day young Robinson went To
call on her. Young Robinson was al
50 very sensible. lie aud Miss Eliza
beth were well matched. They could
talk together on any number OF sub
jects, and they knew just when and
where 10 stop, just what 10 Jay and
what not to say. On this particular
day there was n long story In the
afternoon papers about IA person
known as Jack the Kisser, who
bothered many young women and
girls in the streets by catching them
and kissing them.
Miss Elizabeth said that she did not
think that a girl could be kissed
by any man unless she wanted him TO
kiss her Robinson said that any
man could kiss any woman by brute
force. Miss Elizabeth said that that
was all nonsense.
III tell you what we'll do, said
Robinson. You are certain that q
man cannot kiss n woman unless she
is party To the kissing. AIN GER
tain that man can. We, you and l
will try it,"
Miss Elizabeth said that she didn't
see any harm in that, 80 Robinson be-
gan 10 try TO kiss her. After several
minutes aud trials he succeeded, and
she. seeing that II was useless TO com.
bat him further, gave In and let him
kiss her all he wanted 10.
when 10 was all over Miss Eliza
beth had an inspiration.
"Ill tell you what we'll do, said
Mi.s Elizabeth. My foot slipped
that time. Wen try il over again.
