sabering right and left and driving the
terrified Mexicans into the swamps on
either hand.
The two miles Of road between Churu-
busco and the city were quickly passed, for
Kearny waited only to hew u path for him
self and the column in fours that was at
his heels. The recall was sounded from the
rear, but KearYy gave no heed, though the
rear files of his dragons gradually dropped
off until only three or four sets OF fours
held to the chase behind the mad leader.
On to the San Antonio gate, plying saber
and spur, they rode, until q wide ditch
brought the pursued and pursuers to q
halt. The flying Mexican officers were seen
20 dismount at the ditch, and Kearny and
his handful did the same. Beyond the
ditch lunette, with two guns, defended
the gate, and Kearny pushed through the
crowd, losing half his accouterments in
the crush, but retaining his sword, and
with three officers and a dozen men entered
the battery. 1t was wild moment. Santa
Anna, himself fugitive, was seen plying
the lash 10 his followers to urge them to a
stand. The artillerists in the battery del
uged the mob with canister, friends and
foes alike. A volunteer under Kearny-
Maj. Mills-was killed, Capts. McReynolds
and Graham were wounded, several troop
ers were killed and the rest wounded, and
Kearny stood alone inside the walls OF
Mexico, and not friend within two miles.
He crawled out through an embrasure,
passed the ditch and reached the causeway
beyond unnoticed. The Mexican guns were
still raking the road, and it was soon
cleared OF all but dead men and wounded
and frightened horses. Upon one Of the
plunging steeds-a gray belonging to q
fallen dragoon-he mounted and passed
the gauntlet Of fire few rods, when CAMS
ter shot tore the bone out of his left arm
between the elbow and shoulder. He kept
the saddle until party of Americans met
him, and with Gen. Pierce holding him
under the surgeons knife he was relieved
of the terrible pain by an amputation at
the shoulder. And he got his brevet OF
major in exchange.
Kearny served on the plains until 1853.
then resigned to travel abroad. The
French and Austrian war OF 1859 cut short
his pilgrimage, and he was on the field Of
Solferino as an officer OF the Cavalry
guard. The guard did no fighting, but
Kearny learned one day that his old AL.
gerian regiment, the Chasseurs d'Afrique,
was to charge the heights and joined
them, going in with his bride in his
teeth" In that battle Kearny got beyond
the French lines with the Austrian masses
and had a miraculous escape. A second
like occurrence nearly cost him his life at
Glendale, on the peninsula, and third fin.
ished him at Chantilly.
When the "shot heard round the world"
carried the news to Europe, Kearny sailed
for home, and backed by Gen. Scott ap,
piled to Gov. Morgan for a command
of New York volunteers. He did not get
it, and after a time New Jersey made him

"OH, ANYWHERE, ANYWHERE, COLONELp'
First brigade. As a general he was a
martinez, hard on the men, but then he
was id deal harder on the officers, and
never spared himself in camp or fight"
his soldiers used to say. His dress and
habits were eXtravagant, as might be ex-
pected Of a man Of wealth whose dreams
were Of the knightly chivalry of the Mid
die Ages and who looked upon soldering
as a profession, not dread necessity max
ing for peace.
A martial figure, cultivated from boy
hood and set off by jaunty cloak trimmed
with astrakban wool, loaded with gilt cord
and aglow with gold lace, Kearny without
his empty sleeve and dashing horseman-
ship would have dazzled the eyes of simple
minded folk. In his first battle for the
Union, Williamsburg on the peninsula,
kearny was marked by the enemy as
lone armed devil" and a good target He
led division there, and also at Fair Oaks
three weeks later, and added to his fame as
a dashing soldier. 1t was at Fair Oaks
that he told a subordinate who asked
where he should lead his men in, "Oh, any
where, colonel; you'll find lovely fighting
along the whole line" At Glendale, in the
"Seven Days" he dashed ahead of his men
into body Of deployed troops which he
quickly discovered to be Confederate. A
southern officer, installing him in the dark
for one Of their own, asked what he should
do with his line. "Do, sir! Do as / have
always directed you to do in such a case,
sir" he snapped out fiercely as he turned
and rode away to his friends.
The tragedy at Chantilly was of piece
with that which removed Mcpherson be-
fore Atlanta. During the battle Kearny's
right brigade, under Gen. Birney, encoun-
tered Confederates on their flank, where
Gen. /. l. Stevens Union division was sup
posed to be deployed. Birney went to
Kearny with the news and passed on in
search of re-enforcements. Kearny rode
alone to the spot, having sent his favorite
orderly away to Alexandria to post a mes
sage to his wife. He wore a rubber cloak,
for it was raining, and it was also dark,
and he was suddenly halted by a Confed-
crate picket. Don't firel Pm friendp
he said, wheeled his horse and leaned for
ward upon the horses shoulders and neck
Several shots were fired, and bullet of
heavy caliber struck the flying horseman
at the base Of the spine, ranging upward
and proving instantly fatal. Had his left
arm been intact he would have leaned out
of the saddle Indian fashion and shielded
his own person with that Of his horse.
Kearny's admirers believed that he had
1t in him to become great commander
His qualities were Of the same order as
Hooker's, Burnside's and Rosecrans', all
of whom had chance. He lost his enthu.
siasm for cavalry because war as he knew
it produced no Kellermanns and no Murats,
but had he lived to see the cavalry corps of
1864 and 1865 his early dreams might have
been realized at the head of mighty squad
rons marshaled under Torbert, a Wilson.
a Gregg, an Averell and Custer, soldiers
with dashing valor like his own.

The Span OF Existence is Gradually In.
creasing.
1t has often been asserted that the
average life of mankind is much longer
nowadays, in the great cities, than
formerly, before medical science had
so greatly enlarged it's boundaries and
consequent sphere of usefulness.
Whether this is the case or not, it
seems to be an undoubted fact that the
period which used to DO relegated to
old age in the average lifetime of men
and women has in our time moved fur
ther on, especially among people of the
world who naturally do not give up the
fight as easily as those whose lives are
passed in monotony, and with no par
ticular interest in their own genera
tion. To demonstrate that this is the
case, we have only to turn to the
authors. No one, for instance, would
dispute that the average age of the in
tellects that dominate mankind in our
generation would be between fifty and
sixty years; and yet we find Mon
taignc arguing that the services
OF knights should not be dis
pensed with at forty-fve, ''they
should not be RETIRED" he thinks,
''before fifty-five," an age that we
should regard rs being in the prime of
ripe intellect. Shakespeare, too, gives
us a rather short tether to our rope
when he explicitly fixes upon period
for woman's old age that would put
many of our acknowledged beauties,
both in private life and on the stage,
out of the running:
When forty winters shall besiege thy brow,
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty's field,
Thy youths bright livery, SO gazed on now,
Will be n tattered weed of small worth held
Who shall say in these days, when
we number among our octogenarisns
such men as Gladstone, Bismarck,
Holmes and Whittier when we ctn-
slider the ages of our famous actresses
and prima-donne, and of the women
who hold undisputedly the palm of
beauty in society on both sides of the
Atlantic, that age, after all, is not he
