One shot was fred, and Richardson's
little finger was carried away.
Then both men tripped and fell, and
for another half-hour they had a
''rough-and-tumb fight Both ar
mics were looking on, and whenever
either man obtained a temporary ad-
vantage his comrades cheered him lusti-
~. Not a shot was fred from either
army.
When the wrestlers got once more
upon their feet, Richardson was seen
to be still holding to the pistol with
one hand, and brandishing pine knot
with the other. Little by little he
seemed to be forcing the northerner
toward the confederate lines.
At last, when both men were utterly
exhausted, the Yankee proposed that
they should lay the pistol on the
ground and return each to his own
comrades. The southerner assented,
and so the fight came to an end =

Here is a story Of u southern battle
field on which the confederates were
badly routed: Flying in wild disorder
along the road several Alabama Mis-
sissippi and Georgia regiments became
badly mixed up. The stampede was gen
eral, and the retreat developed into a
rivalry as to who should get away
fastest An Alabama officer, mounted
on particularly swift charger, was
well on toward the head of the fugitive
host but every now and then he would
rein up his horse, wheel around in the
road, wave his sword aloft, ana cry
out: Men of Georgia. Men of Ala
bamai Halt, / say! viii no one stand
by me?" He repeated this every few
minutes, but always made the fastest
kind of time between the halts. And
at length, when he was making one Of
those frantic appeals; 'Will no one
stand by me?'' a voice from the flying
men on foot shouted back TO him:
Yes hang you, We'll try and stand by
you if you don't strike such an ALFRED
gait. '-Nast's Weekly.

How Horse Flesh Tastes.

mares a few evenings ago. 81 have seen

relish, aud that, too, without any salt.
1t was in 1877, during General Milss's
Nez Perces campaign. We had followed
the renegades up the Missouri to its con-
t1uence with the Yellowstone, and the
chase was SO fast aud exciting that we
didn't realize how low our larder was
getting until it was drained, and We were
getting too far away from the base of
supplies to replenish it. The game had
all beea driven out of the country ahead
Of Us by the fleeing Indians, aud when
we finally caught up with the redskins
and forced them to fight we had had al
most nothing to ca. for several DAYS.
ave captured about 700 ponies from
the Indians, some of them SO round and
sleek and fat as to appear to US the finest
meat in the world. Our butchers killed
the youngest and latest Of the ponies
that nigh. after the battle, and as soon
~ they were skinned and dressed we had
G feast that would have made Lucullus
