remembers the remark he made to Al
McCue, his file-closer that Sunday afternoon
about being marched over the battlefield to
see the dead and wounded in order to pre-
pare the boys for changes which seemed
likely to take place very suddenly. He had
hardly uttered the last word when the rebel
shells began going over our heads.
Just at this moment Col. Dan McCoOk
came riding down the line of the SD with
the bride reins in his teeth, waving his hat
in his left hand and guiding his horse with
his sword in his right, cheering the boys.
As he rode up to Maj. Holmes he gave him

Orson Smith, Co. K, of Waseca, Mimi,
says in letter to me, that when Barnett
opened on the jackass battery it was the
18th Ohio which charged and captured the
rebel battery and two stands of celors. He
adds that g the charge was one Of the most
remarkable sights that l saw in the war.
There was no order or keeping anything like

Comrade Smith has evidently described

won victories ON their own hook, and the

OF stimulator Zone who applies the spur or
goad) is not without reason. In that case
the Kentauri would be simply the Homeric
"kentores nippon" 'spurrers OF steeds,"
and would designate primitive race Of
horse tanners and riders. In Scapula's Lex

Talk about rolling and ptching No ves-
sci rolls, pitches and plunges like light
ship. It's anchors hold it firm to the shock
OF the waves. There is no yielding, no
graceful swaying Co the swelling of the
seas. There are days, too, when fierce fog
horn torments the ear with noise such as
nature in her angriest moods never invent
ed. There is always a glare of light at
night. There is no constant expectation of
reaching port, and life soon becomes q
dreary monotony.
In case the liRhtship should be cast adrift,
it has been fitted with sails which will en-
able it TO hold its own in storm and stress.
The hold is fitted with spacious storerooms
and sleeping quarters and machine for
compressing the air which blows the fog
horn. These foghorns are what are known
in this country as "siren" whistles. They
are called sirens probably because that is
what they least resemble. They begin their
noise with very low note and rise rapidly
in sliding scale TO very thin high note
that distresses the ear. Their they descend
to the low note, and up and down in rapid
succession the shrieking, demonlike noises
race. A big bell is placed or the ship for
use in case the foghorn should break down
or scare itself useless.-Harper's Young
