A FAMOUS WAR RELlo.
Tho Musket with Which Brownell Shot
jackson, the Slayer of Col. Ellsworth.

Tho Musket with Which Brownell Shot
jackson, the Slayer of Col. Ellsworth.
Many of the old settlers of Washing
ton and Alexandria remember that at
the time of the Ellsworth tragedy, in
the month of May, 1861, Jackson, then
a proprietor of hotel in Alexandria,
and Ells~orth's assassin, was shot by
Frank Brownell, of the city of Troy,
N. Y. Some time after the occurrence
Brownel was promoted to position
IN the regular army. On severing his
connection with his old regiment he
sought by every means to retain the
much-prized rclio, but the captain in
command refused to part with it, and
it was transferred to one of the SOL
diers remaining in the company.
Brownell. feeling that the musket
properly belonged to him, kept track
of 1t, tracing it after the disband-
ment OF the zouaves to n private in
the regular army, who bore it with
him over the plains, and used it effcc-
tually at many a conflict with the In
dians Brownoll continued his efforts
to got possession of the weapon, and
at last, by the assistance of an army
friend, 1t was returned to him. There
Is no doubt of its identity, Brownell's
initials (T. b. cut upon the stock are
still there, and other marks fully as
identifying. This famous musket he
caused to be deposited in the state de-
partment. Albany, and where the coat
and hat of Col Ellsworth are also ION
fle," and will for ages to come remain
memento of tho terrible tragedy and
and souvenir of the bold avenger.
There is another historical incident
in connection with the shooting of Els
worth not generally known. Brown
ellis version of the tragedy is that
he saw jackson just as he was pre-
pairing to fire the fatal shot at the
breast of Ellsworth. He Immediately
turned to shoot Jackson, but the saber
bayonet on his musket prevented
celebrity of action, as he was standing
on the staircase. The instant Brown
ell brought his musket to bear upon
the assassin he fired the fatal shot,a
at the Same instant Jackson fell dead
in front of his bedroom door, out of
which he had rushed, gun in hand, to
| take vengeance on the man who had
assembled to the roof of the building to
haul down the confederate banner that
| hoated from the flagstaff. Ellsworth
| took tho lead of the escort, and with
his own hands pulled down the flag,
and also took the lead in descending
from the roof, and had the banner in
his hands when he received the fatal
| shot. Had Brownell's muslSet been
without the saber, his movement would
| have been more rapid, and in all prob
ability jackson would have fallen
and Ellsworth's life been spared.
Jaclsson's emblem OF secession had
foated from the flagstaff for several
weeks, and with the aid of an opera
| glass its stripes and bars could be
| plainly distinguished from the capitol,
the white house, and from the camp
of the zouaves, much to the annoyance
of tho colonel and his men, and, no
doubt, before the regiment crossed the
Potomac Ellsworth had made up his
mind to claim all the honor of its re-
moval-Washfngton Post.

Pat Skinned tho Animal According to
Orders.
While in front of Petersburg, the
general received information that his
avorite horse, almond Eye" had
been accidentally killed by falling in
to ravine. Upon the departure of
his informant, he ordered an Irish
servant to go and skin him.
What! Is Almond Eye dead2"
asked Pat.
Whats that to you? Do as bid
you, and ask no questions"
Pat went about his business and in
an hour or two returned.
"Wcll, Pat, where have you been all
this tin'e?' sternly demanded the gen.
eral.
"Skinning the horse, yer honor"
Docs it take nearly two hours TO
perform such an operation?"
mo, yer honor, but then, you see, it
tuck bout half an hour to catch him.
innocently replied Pat.
Gen. Butler cast upon his servant
such ferocious look, that Pat thought
he meditated skinning an Irishman in
revenge for the death of his horse

People will never tire of listening to
war stories, said veteran the other
day, but you never hear of any of them
telling of their running experiences.
1t is not because they never run, for
all OF us have been through that school
No man ever went into battle but he
was glad when it was over. The legs
of the bravest got very weak in the
presence of shot and shell, and bravery,
after all, is only matter of honor;
the man without honor is coward.
The honorable man has nothing to
fear, and in battle he would suffer ten
thousand deaths rather than have q
romrade say he failed to do his whole
duty. But us to running yes, have
run. Tell you about 1t? Certainly.
One afternoon, while was in charge
of the rear guard, on n march in Vir-
ginia, a number of men dropped out Of
the ranks for the purpose of hunting
'appleiack." The commanding officer
of the guard ordered me to take de-
tachment, return to the little town
through which we had passed half
hour before, and arrest the stragglers.

Hard Work and Indigestion go
Hand in Hand.

Concentrated thought, continued in, robs
the stomach of necessary blood, and this is
also true of hard physical labor.

going to break. Very often the hard
office will "bolt " his food i'll few min

too, many foods are about as useful in the
stomach as a keg of nails would be in
fire under n boiler. The ill-used stomach
refuses to do its work without the proper
stimulus which it gets from the blood and
nerves. The nerves are weak and ready
to break" because they do not get the
rourislinent they require from the blood,
finally the ill-used brain is morbidly wide
awake when the overworked man at
tempts to find rest IN bed.

Gen. Banks was as perfect gentle

The ''unctuous Brown" the usher of
fashionable society, long the sexton of
that church, with a keen eye for dig

and seated the general near the door
in very unpleasant position. AS the
house grew warm Gen. Banks threw
open his coat. The moment Brown
caught sight of the epaulots of

artist Of much ability, an omnivorous
reader OF newspapers, and. above all,

young people in the colleges and outside.
In all this work, which he followed
faithfully for several years, he was re.
markably successful, and the qualities
of his mind and heart endearsd him to
all who knew him. Many people OF
wide acquaintance considered him the
best boy they ever knew.
