A SOLDIERS PREMoNITIoN.
The Singular Fulfllment of a Prophecy
of Death.

OF Death
Gen. Francis \. Walker, chatting
with some of his comrades in Washing
ton. told a singular story of his eXperi-
ence. He said that minor officer in
his command, man who had been Il
dear friend, passed through battle after
battle without a single scratch. The
man was in the thick of every fight.
Many time he stood urging on his
company, and, while his men fell around
him, he seemed to have a charmed life
Among the soldiers it was believed that
he was specially protected, but as bat
tie after battle passed and he received
not so much as a skin wound, the Off
Ger became depressed He said to Gen.
Walker, Just before the Wilderness
campaign began: Frank, shall new
er be wounded. When / am hit /
shall pass away so suddenly that !
shall not even know that / have been
dropped"
Gen. Walker asked him why he felt
so, assuring him that il was morbid
feeling.
"No, no." the officer said. "There
will come battle by and by, and
shall be hit squarely in the temple.
You know what that means"
They went through the Wilderness,
and the officer was in the thick of the
fight at Bloody Angle and was not hurt.
Hundreds of men fell around him al
Spottsylvania and he was not scratched
He was in the first assault at Cold Har-
Dor when men were moved down, and
he rushed in at the second, the very in
carnation of fighting soldier. just
as the men We're retreating he
stopped for a moment and turned his
head to look back, and in an instant he
dropped as though he had been smitter
by lightning bolt from the heavens
When they found him they saw that G
minnie ball had gone clean through
from one temple to the other, and that
he must have been conscious for an in
slant, for the foretinger of his right
hand was in the wound, as though he
was instinctively probing for the bullet

There was an enormous amount of
Erag and bluster in the early part of
the war. The following challenge was
sent by the Pillow Guards, of Memphis,
Tenn, to the Prentiss Guards, of Cairo,
ILL.,: "Wc have enlisted under the stars
and bars of the confederate states, for
the purpose of defending southern
rights and vindicatin9 southern honor.
But more especially we have been Sc
lected and sworn in for the purpose of
guarding the person of our gallant Gen.
Pillow. Understanding that You oc.
cupy like position with reference to
Prentiss, the commandant at Cairo,
we challenge you to meet us at any
time, at any place, in any number, and
with any arms or equipments you may
select. Wewish to meet no others until
we have met and conquered you and
your general. Make your own terms,
only let MS know when and where, and
be certain you will meet the bravest
guard the world has ever known" The
above was dated June 3, 1861, and on
June II, the following was indorsed on
the back of the challenge by Capt. Jos.
ID. Walker, commanding the Prentiss
Guards: "We accept no challenge from
traitors, but hang them. If we ever
meet, you shall suffer the fate of trait
ors." Capt. Walker commanded an in

THE PoUcHED LAMPREY.
A Fish That Carries with 1t Supply of
Water,


Water.
That extraordinary fish, the pouched
lamprey of the Murray river in Austria
lia, affords u striking contrast to the
English species. Somewhat larger
than sea lamprey, and having all the
same generic distinctions as the Euro
pean relatives, this strange creature has
acquired one special Characteristic in
the pouch, which can be distended at
will, or according to circumstances to
assist the animal in the storage of water
in times ofteXcessive drought. Those
who are familiar with the great Murray
and Darling rivers know how variably
the water supply is; at times an ample
volum accumu lates from the water
sheds, and the adjacent plains are liable
to rapid and disastrous floods. But too
often the stream sinks to insignificant
dimensions; in certain parts the river
absolutely fails, leaving pools of water
surrounded by hard clay, which is caked
at the surface under the influence of
the vertical suns rays.
| The Australian lamprey has its prin-
| cipal habitat in the Murray, and, con-
sequently, in the dry seasons it is apt to
be imbedded beneath the hardened clay,
where no water is. AS the stream re-
cedes, the animal fills it's pouch and dis
appears into the soft mud below, there
to remain until the drought has passed
away, subsisting on the moisture which
it has learned to store in specialized
| receptacle at the side of the head. As a
matter of fact, the fish has mastered
the difficult question of water storage
on its own account before the race of
homo sapiens has been able TO solve the
same problem in the island continent.
1t is an interesting question wheth er
this Australian lamprey is not linger-
ing example of the fish of Miocene
ages, and as such may not be consid.
cred as an ancestral type of European
lampreys. a sea lamprey that l exam
ined alive, caught in the salmon nets oi
the tidal estuary, had q distinct tend
ency to swell at either side of thc
head, as if the pouch might be forth
coming in time of actual necessity. i
the Australian type is not the absolute
ancestor of the British genera, it is n
least reasonable to suppose that it is al
older form, and that the divergent gen
era and species have descended along
different lines in the great life struggle
That the pouch of the antipodean lam
prey is intended for the storage of water
is a fact that can hardly be doubted by
any one who has seen the species annie
its peculiar surroundings gs.-Cornhil
Magazine.
