there was a hand-car. The hand-car
was placed on top and across the wagon
body. and around it was placed the
ammunition.
About this time it was broad day
light. and Harlan started with the team
for the crossing of the Rolling Fork.
The stream was "belly-dcep" TO the
horses. In order to direct the team,
Harlan mounted the leader without sad
die or equipments. On reaching the
south bank the hand-car was placed on
the railroad track, the ammunition
loaded thereon, and then pushed to the
top of the hill, thence down-grade to
Sherman's Headquarters.

much more interesting if it had been

of the Supreme Court Of the United
States and recognized as one Of the most
Iaborious and painstaking members of

The result was that, when the grade became,
as ii did at times, steep, our wheels attained
an absolutely uncomfortable momentum. At
such times the only thing we could do was to
steer for the first heap of sand or clump of
huckleberry bushes that hove in sight, and
sail into it with our eyes shut tight and head
down.
Thus we proceeded on our extraordinary
way, and / doubt not that the Old Man i'll

note of the Professors apparel, which after
every charge became more and more pro
miscuous, until it dwinded into shreds.
When within mile of our destination our
wheels again began tO1get beyond our control,
but we were 50 near the foot that we decided
not to try to stop them. So down we flew ut
a fearful rate when at the end Of Il long curve
we saw ahead in the dim light two four horse
mountain wagons passing each other and tax
ing up the entire road. Neither Of Us said
word. but we slid off our wheels, and were
hurled through the bushes down the 20-ioot
gravel embanblment, and through the trees
down the steep mountain slope. Meanwhile
the bicycles were running riot. The Profes-
sor's went over the cmbankment and flew
along with increasing momentum, until with
Il hop, skip and jump and IA farewell somer-
sault, it disappeared over the ledge, and we
saw ii no more. The Professor himself was
badly stunned, but we brought him to, going
down in the wagon, and beyond a couple Of

he expressed it, pretty fair form.'" "

Ancient lraditions and Military Weapons


North american RsricU.
Ancient traditions are clung to most per-
sistently in the selection Of military weapons
In modern cavalry armament we find the
saber and lance modification OF the ancient
sword and spear, adhered TO with perth
nacity for which it is dfficult to account on
rational grounds. Let us fancy two soldiers
in the mounted service, equally brave, one
thoroughly trained to handle the saber, and
the other an accomplished revolver shot !;
station them 100 yards apart and let them
advance toward each other, Mt any gait, with
hostile intent; can anyone for an instant ex-
pect but one result; the man with the saber
would certainly be destroyed before he
could arrive i'll striking distance of his
enemy, armed with the revolver. Suppose
instead of selecting two men we made the
number 10, 20, or 900; is there any reason
able ground to suppose the result would
differ materially in illustrating The superb
orty of the revolver over the saber? To
exemplify this in another form let US sup
pose that saber cut over the head or u
thrust through the body is equal to wound
from revolver bullet, and for the sake of
argument we will allow the man with saber
to arrive within 10 feet of his enemy with
the revolver; we will assume that 10 seconds
are required for q "sabreur" to successfully
carve one man and get within striking dis
tance, about three and half or four feet, of
another. We know that it is a very ordi-
, nary feat for a COED revolver shot, mounted,
to fire five shots in five seconds and hit the
size of q man every time at distance of 10
feet, and this with his horse at a full run.
The reverence with which we cling to arms
ancient might well make q wise soldier
laugh, were its effects not SO pernicious as
sometimes to make good soldier weep.
