HAD TO BE BRAVE
His Horse Ran Away During y Cavalry
Charge ut Brandy Station.

Charge ut Brandy Station.
The greatest cavalry battle ever
fought on the American continent took
place at Brandy Station the 9th Of
June, 1868. At early dawn the federal
advance guard crossed the Rapahan-
mock and charged our outposts with
such yigor that they entered our camp
at their heels. Most of my regiment
(Sixth Virginia) had turned their
horses out the evening before, and not
more than fifty of us were prepared to
mount Our reville was the crack OF
the pistol and carbine of the
foe. The fifty men were quickly
mounted, formed and ordered to charge
Not n moment was to be lost, as some
of the enemy's advance were in our
artillery camp.

on earth could control. had expert
enced this on three former occasions.
But what could do, charge or no
charge? that was the question. AL
though knew full well that my wild
charger would lead the van, of course,
I must charge. In our front was a
heavily wooded forest of pine shrub
and black jack, through which ran a
narrow country road No time was to
be lost; therefore there was little cere-
mony. The usual commands--trot,
march, gallop. charge-were omitted,
and the gallant Shumate, who muster
ed the fifty, simply yelled "Charge!"
and away we few down the winding
road through the dark forest, yelling
like Indians.
My horse bowed his neck, and placing
his mouth against his breast, l was

What could do? Pull off the road 1
could not; stop could not. Away he
went. looked around, but there was
no one in sight We had left the others
far behind / knew that in few
seconds one solitary cavalryman would
be rushing into the midst of the foe.
One moment more, and saw drawn up
across my path q double line of federal
cavalry. 1t may be, thought, they
will see my predicament and let me
through; it may be that they will not
fire, but how could they know that my
horse was running away.
They must have thought the devil
was coming for up went ut least one
hundred carbines, crash, cloud of

How Bees Are Shipped.

Most beekeepers use for purposes of
transportation an ingenious wooden box
with sliding cover, invented by DIR. Ben
ton, an expert attached to the department
of agriculture 1t is four inches long and
is divided into three communicating COM
partments. The compartment at one end
is filed with soft candy for the insects to
feed upon: the one at the other end has
holes for ventilation, while the middle
compartment is dark chamber for the oc-
cupants to crawl into when it is cold.
In such receptacle bees can be sent
around the world, and will reach their des
tiuation in good health and ready to fly tC
the nearest flowers for honey. Each box
will hold a queen and from twelve to TWEEN
ty workers. Before mailing it is secured
with rubber bands or put in strong ervel
