Shelby'S band remained in the vicinity
Of Little Rock several weeks, frequently
volunteering for dangerous work, although
they were net legally in the Confederate
service. Finally an expedition was set on
foot to proceed to the heart of Missouri
and Shelby and his men joined it after re-
enlisting for the war. The command
fought it's way to the Missouri river and
back to Arkansas. Shelby leading out l,OOC
soldiers raised in his home county in two
days. From the colonelcy Of the new regi-
ment Shelby lcapcd at one bound to the
command of u cavalry brigade, formed
with his own and two other new Missouri
regiments.
Soon after the formation of the brigade
Shclby's force united with Gen Marina
dukes division and took the field to re-
sist the invasion of Arkansas from Mis-
souri,. The Union troops were in two
columns. and Shelby's duty was to threaten
and harass one column, while the main
army attacked the other. In this move

Shelby ran at his foes SO recklessly that
there was no escape but by retreat. His
brigade comprised thirty companies, and
these were distributed on both sides OF
the road some distance apart. When the
enemy's head of column came to the first
company it would be met by q volley at
point blank range. The company would
quickly form column and gallop back to Il
new position behind the other twenty-nine
companies, and SO on for miles.
After leading Blunt tedious chase
through the mountains Shelby was ordered
to turn and dash between the two Union
columns and prevent their junction. He
SGT out preceded by an advance guard that
was told to attack anything and every

of the brigade, and ut the first sound of
fighting in front rushed OH with two can

Suddenly he was confronted by superior
numbers and challenge tosurrender. The
enemy dashed for the guns and cut down

Two Facts About q Ring.

An impressionable young gentleman
in a certain country town recently met
a charming girl whose grace and beauty
took his heart by storm. While con.
versing with her he made a discovery
which he fondly hoped would enable
him to make at one brilliant stroke an
elegant proof Of his ready wit and his
boundless affection. CHANGING at g
modest band Of gold that encircled be1
fair finger, he remarked, "Sweet dam.
sci, / pray you present me with the rinp
you wear, for I assure you it exactly
resembles my love for you-it has nc
end"
Indeed, SIR" promptly replied the
maiden; "you must excuse me If keer
the ring, for it exactly resembles also
my love for you-it has no beginning. ,

Eminent SUICIDES
Give and Castlereagh Killed Themssf~ss
and Napoleon Attempted To.

Give and Castlereagh Killed Then ss9rss
and Napoleon Attempted To.
The history Of suicides presents u long
array of eminent victims. The suicides
of antiquity are not considered, for men
were educated in those days to embrace
suicide when all was lost. We do not
find many conspicuous instances of sui
eide in the Middle Ages. Outdoor nc.
tivity and al intensely practical life was
the rule with men of sensibility outside
of convent walls. and suicide was not
when men of sedentary lives began to
multiply. The Nineteenth century is
conspicuous for suicides compared with
the Eighteenth, and the most studious
nation in the world, Germany, furnishes
the largest list of suicides.
Next to Germany, France furnishes
the largest list of suicides among civil
lied peoples. The English are not prone
to suicide. Their love Of outdoor sports
keeps them free from dyspepsia and dis
orders Of tho liver, and their native
courage and endurance prompts them
TO cling to live even when life is but ONE
long, ceaseless round of pain. Three
eminent Englishmen committed suicide,
Lord Give, the founder Of England's
Indian empire; Sir Samuel Romilly, a
great jurist and philanthropist, and
Lord Castlereagh, famous statesman,
England's representative in the congress
of Vienna after the fall Of Napoleon.
Give was hypochrondriac from
youth, and used opium in his last years;
Romilly was respondent over the death
of his wife, and bitterly repented his act
with his dying breath. The self de-
struction of Castlereagh was never
clearly explained. Napoleon attempted
suicide Frederick the Great prepared
for it by carrying poison in his clothes
during his dreadful fight for his crown.
No eminent American has ever commit
ted suicide, although suicide is more
common In America than in England,
owing doubtless to the intensity of our
struggle for wealth and fame.
Insane men are frequently suicides,
but it can hardly be said that all sui
cides are insane. The paralysis Of the
instinct of self preservation may result
from severe mental and bodily suffer
ing, and the elaboration and seeming
sanity of the suicides preparation for
death, the calmness of his last words,
would often seem to forbid the theory
of insanity. The hopeless consumptive,
the victim of cancer, not seldom COM
mits suicide to secure that sudden stop
to suffering that we call humanity when
extended to a wretched brute. Suicide
is rare among savage tribes, probably
because they are SO occupied with pure
ly material matters that they have no
time for spiritual agony or severe men,
tai strain, or costly round Of various
vices.-Kansas City Journal.

Chased by 3 Wild Car.

Il was chased once by box car"
said Harry G. Moore, an ex-railroad
man. ut was out in Colorado, the land
of steep grades and sharp curves: We
were sliding down the mountains one
day with baggage car and two coaches.
l was on the rear platform looking at
the road when l deserted box car
coming down the grade at a rate Of
speed that was appalling. If it struck
Us we were gone sure, for it would
smash the entire train into kindling
wood and pile it up in one of the gorges.
Our only hope was either to outrun or
wreck it. The engineer caught sight of
it at the same instant that did and put
the lever down among the tallow pots.
1t appeared impossible that we could
hold the track on the sharp curves while
moving more than mile minute, but
we did, and the box car continued to
saw wood.
eff we could once get to the foot of
the grade we would he safe, but that
was soon seen to beimpossible. Rapidly
as we were going the box car continued
to gain upon us, and now we could see
that it was loaded with iron. Some
thing must be done and that quickly.
ALI the passengers had fled into the for
ward coach and were hanging on to the
seats. l signaled the engineer to shut
of, set a brake hard on the rear coach.

the throttle. Wehad not gone 100 yards
before the box car ran into the coach
and sent splinters flying quarter of a
mile high. Both went plunging over into
a chasm. "-St. Louis Globe Democrat,

Theories About Drowned Bodia.

1t was a popular theory in days gone
by that the body Of a drowned man
would float the ninth day, a notion
which, Mr.. Henderson informs us, pre-
walls In the county of Durham. Sir
'ihomas Browne alludes to it as believed
IN his time, and in his "Pseudo-doxia
Epldemlcs" there is discussion ON this
1ancltul notion. 1t was also believed
that the spirits Of those drowned at sea
we're doomed TO wander for 100 years,
owing to the rites Of burial having never
oeen properly bestowed upon their
bodies.-Notes and Queries.
