SOLDIERS WE'RE SMASHING THEIR MCSKETS tho next day. About sundown the Con- fCdcrate authorities told him that if he did not sign this parole for his regiment they would all be sent to the southern prison pens. This caused tho gallant commander of tho Ninth Vermont regiment to sign the parole. Tho next morning the troops were marched across the country 100 miles to Maryland. In January tho Ninth rcgi- mcnt was exchanged, and its colonel made n hrigadicr general of volunteers for his conspicuous gallantry and efficient service at Miles surrender of Harpcr's Ferry.
 "Thc above is an unwrittcn history of Vermont regiment whose career was so suddenly cut short, and which through tho courage of its commanding officer endeav- orcd to ho spared the terrible disgrace at tending the surrender of Harper's Ferry"
 After the surrender the gallant Green Mountain boys passed through varied OK pcrirnccs, first lying in parole camp at Chicago for months and afterward joining the small army in southwestern Virginia and the peninsula. No glory was to be won in that field, but hardships and trials were tho lot of the soldiers without appar- cnt results.
 However, in 1864, the regiment, 700 strong, joined the Army of the James, in front of Richmond. Its gallant colonel had long since been promoted to a general ship and commanded a division in the Eighteenth corps. The Ninth served in that corps also. but not, much to the re- grot of the men, under Stannard How gallantly they would have followed their old leader Was shown at the stOrming of Fort Harrison, Sept. 2S. Stannard's di- vision led the attack and Riplcy's brigade (of Hcckman's division) which included the Ninth Vermont, was ordered to follow. But just as Stannards line mounted the walls of Harrison, Ripley was ordered to storm an outlying battery north of it. In the course of the charge the line became cntanglCd in q swamp and being under fro part of it came to | standstill, but tho Green Mountain boys pushed ahead until they reached open ground in view of Stan. nard'S troops, who were cheering over their victory at the fort. They rushed on pcllmcll past the guns of Harrison, now silent in the hands of their captors The guns of Battery Morris however, n few hundred yards away swept the road with canister and Colonel Ripley ordered tho Ncrmontcrs to withdraw. Not to be dis appointed of their fight that time they kept on regardless of the danger, making wild race for the works, which they en- tered with the enemy firing parting vol Icy at arm < length. It was savage bust nrsS and nearly every one inside the bat trry fell. Others followed from the rear line, and the rrlnuht with all the rife pits adjoining fell into their hands, com ilcting. with tho capture of these works, the conquest of Fort Harrison Tho regi nlrri took part in all the subsequent bat. ties around Richmond and was among the first [" enter the famous stronghold when 1t fell, April }, 1865.

command, he yielded with a heavy heart
 As the regiment about faced and marched up the rocky road it was sight to behold
 Soldiers were smashing their muskets, off COTS breaking their swords, and the na- tional colors were removed from the staff and replaced by their black coverings, which no doubt caused the enemy to think the flags were beneath. As the command approached Bolivar heights every man, from the colonel to the youngest drummer boy in the ranks, was crying. Each side of the road was filled with Confederate sol diers looking at the regiment that had caused them so much trouble and had been trying to cut its way out for two hours after the garrison had surrendered
 Shortly after this the men tried to stack what arms there were left, but these had been so badly abused coming up the rocky road that it was impossible to make it, and the arms were thrown on to the ground. The rebels put a guard over the regiment, and then the paroling of the troops commenced. It was understood that the commanding officer of each regiment should sign the parole of his command, but Colonel Stannard said he could not be responsible for each member of his regi- .nent and declined to sign. This brought on new complication, and tho Confedcr- ates believed that Stannard was doing this to delay them. Tho colonel thought if he could keep them husy with subterfuges, etc., that Mcclellan must relieve us before

A Bible COurtShiD,

A young gentleman at church con- ceived most sudden and violent pas sion for q young lady i'll the next pew, and felt desirous of entering into courtship on the spot, but the place not suiting a formal declaration the exigen- cy suggested the following plan: He politely handed his fair neighbor a Bi- ble, open, with d pin stuck i'll the fol lowing text-sccond epistle of John, verse 5: And now I bescech thee, lady, not as though I wrote new com mandment unto thee. but that which VIC had from the beginning, that we love one anOthcr.' She returned it with tho following-socond chapter of Ruth, verse 10: Then she fell on her face and bowed herself to the ground, and said unto him, why have I found grace in thino eyes, that thou shOuldst take notice of me, seeing I am a strangcr?' He returned the book, pointing to verse 12 of the third epistle of John, Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink, but l trust to come unto yOu and speak face to face.'

The Theory of a Draw Cut.

A writer in Tho Railway Review thus explains why it is that knife cuts better when drawn across the object to be cut:
 This matter of varying the angle of cut by varying the motion of the cutting tool is something that is learned almost instinctivcly in actual practice. Tho small boy very quickly come to understand that his knife will cut better if he gives the blade a drawing motion while cutting. This Is due to two rcasons-one that the knife even on the rare occasions when 1t is sharp, is microscopically n saw, and the drawing motion gives the teeth chance to act, and the other that, as the drawing be- comes more rapid, the cutting angle of the blade is made smaller and sharper, so that rapid draw really gives a temporary sharpness to the instrument. These are trifling and elementary matters, but they will servo to emphasize what have many a time urged upon young mechanics-the desirability, nay, the very necessity, of close observation of and speculation upon the reasons for the common phenomena of eyeryday life.'

The Last of the Lot.

When we assumed the duties and re- responsibilities of postmaster of this town, we found that every judge, general, colonel and major in this locality had the idea that his letters ought to go free. In order to keep friends with them the former postmaster had stamped their letters at his own expense We promptly refused to carry out any such line of policy, and as result there was more or less shooting for the first month General Hooper nicked one of our ears with a bullet, and Major Phelps sent a bullet through our hat but we were firm ill our resolve and finally brought all the gang except Captain Joe Scott around to our way of thinking The captain returned home the other day after a months stay at Tombstone, and the first thing he did Was to write six letters and band them ill to be sent D. H. We c0urteously informed him of the new deal. and in his impulsive way he jumped to the conclusion that his honor had been impugned and opened fire on us with two guns. We did some jump ing and lodging until we saw an open ing to catch him by the neck and dis arm him, but it was Onlya trifiing mat ter after all. None of the eight bullets he fired came within Il foot of us, and aS soon as he recovered consciousness he admitted his impctunSity and begged OUT pardon.
 Having finished with the captain we anticipate llu further trouble but it will be we'll fer the general public 10 re- member that there iS no dCadhcad buSi ness connected with this poStoffice. You buy and lick your own stamps on, or y,mr letter goes to Washington.

He Has Gone Hence.

Tho department presided over by our horse editor will be found missing from this issue, " hilo the horse editor him self is missing from his accustomed desk in our St,nrturn. One day last week he went over tO Lon" Jack to look over a herd If cattle, and when about ready to leave for home he got into Wrangle with a fellow named Joe Patton, who lives at Lost Fine Patron was backed by man named Gilmore, who hangs around Lone Jack most of the time. The two men rolled into one would not make decent half breed, and had our hOrso editor showed his grit they would have run away from him. We had al ways taken him for a man of sand, but he proved to have sawdust in his craw instead. He not only let the pair of cow ards back him down before d crowd, but he fled for hame and ran before them for five miles.
 Fifteen minutes after his arrival we gave him the bounce and telegraphed to New Mexico for a man to take his place. Any horse editor on the staff of this paper may take cover if attacked but he must not run. If he can't shoot faster and straighter than the other man, it's his business to die as bravely as he can and give us the privilege of burying him and publishing his biographv.-M.

I'm so glad you went and had good time by yourself, because you seldom go anywhere" she continued cheerily, "and the babies weren't bit of trouble while you were gone. Now, tell me all about it.
 ''It was the broadest one ever saw in my life," replied Wagleigh dream fly as he selected t1ie softest piece of buttered toast on the plate.
 "Oh, really. I'm sure didn' know that, or should never have let you go, " said Mrs. Wagleigh with well feigned horror. But I never heard before that there was anything objectionable about it.
 "Obirctionablc!' snorted Wagleigh warmly. II think it is an outrage"
 An outrage! Dear me, how prudish we are getting in our old age. It s strange, then, how the papers all speak well of it.
 "Speak we'll of it, repeated Wag- leigh, with a persistence that was un- accountable to his wife; "why, the press has rsa>ted it unmcrcifully. It's the subject of Scathing comment from the Atlantic to the Pa.;tic" "
