The glass snake, which is not n

has a tail about two-thirds its entire
length. This tail. iko The tails of
about all lizards in tho United States

When a fourth to a half, or even
more, OF the animal is detached and
the head wriggles away, and the re-

spectacle, and 1 am not surprised
that the ignorant should clothe the

The story Is told that when, after the
second battle Of Bull Run, Gen. Sickles
assumed command Of division Of the
army Of the Potomac, he gave an elab.
crate farewell dinner to the officers oil
his old Excelsior brigade.
"Now, boys, we will have family
gathering" he said to them as they
assembled in his quarters. Pointing
to the table, he continued Treat It
as you would the enemy
As the feast ended an Irish officer,
Capt Byrnes, was discovered by Sickles
in the act Of slowing away three bot
ties OF champagne in his saddle bags.
What are you doing, STRIP gasped
the astonished general.

do not know Of anything which was
so fraught with true nobility and abso-
Lutte fearlessness as this act of Ridge
ly's. Both Of these men were beautiful
characters.
Can ! give you as good an instance
of mercy? Yes, hundreds. On one oc-
casion at the battle Of Gettysburg, as
our confederate lines we're advancing,
they met with temporary check. Our
troops were firing from behind rocks,
and the enemy were advancing behind
rocks, also, and firing upon us. Just
little In front Of our line where my
men stood was a wounded northern
soldier, calling frantically for water.
A confederate soldier stepped from be-
hind his shelter, leaving his gun, and
1eld up his hands as signal to cease
firing. The union troops stopped when
they saw his signal, and he ran for
ward and gave the wounded Yankee
his canteen Of water raised his head
on his arm, until he had drained the
contents Of his canteen, then restoring
him tenderly to his reclining position
on the ground, ran back behind his
rocks where he had been, and resumed
the battle, The enemy's line resumed
firing at the same time, and this simple
act Of mercy passed amid the greater
incidents Of that terrible day, and
doubtless Of the hundreds who wit
messed 1t but few live to remember or
relate the occurrence.

A SOLDIERS LOST FINGER.


Z The Discovery He Made on Revisi.ing the
Field of Chlcltamauga.
Ofall the wonderful war stories that
have been set ahoat since the terrible
days Of the Cos, John Sammons, of
this county, has started one of the
most remarkable Summons is q re-
sponsible man, a good farmer, who
stands high among his ueighbors, and
whose reliability has never been
brought INTO question, lie was brave
soldier of the confederate army, and
was one of those who participated in
that bloody tragedy on the banks Of
Chickamauga creek on the 18th Of Sep
TENDER, 1863. During the hottest Of
the engagement Summons found him
self in an exposed position, with shot
and shell playing high revel around
him, and he sought such shelter as was
afforded by a large oak tree which was
in direct line of fire While handling
his piece bullet struck his gunstock
and cut off the two first joints of the
forefnger OF his right hand as clean as
a knife would have done it, The dis
membered finger dropped ameng the
leaves, and as he was more particular
about saving the balance Of his body
than about reseuing as little thingas
missing finger he made the best Of
his way out of the fight, stanching his
bleeding hand as best he could.
The war was fought to finish and
Sammmons came back home and went
to work, charging up his manned
hand to the losses Of the confederacy.
Some time ago he decided to revisit
the battlefield, which he had not seen
in thirty-two years, nearly, and SO he
betook himself to Chickamauga and
started to stroll over the battlefield
The tree where he stood when wound
ed occupied such conspicuous posi-
ton that he found little difficulty In
locating 1t, with all the scars and
knots on its rugged trunk, caused by
the flying missiles Of death Having
found the tree, he put himself in the
same position in which he was stand
ing when wounded, and then 1t oc.

able exhibitions Of courage which
ever came to my personal observation
occurred during the Mexican war at
the battle Of Resaca de Ia Palma. I
was then with Gen. Taylor on the 9th

dragons, under Capt Charlie May,
to charge the enemy's batteries Ran
dolph Ridgely, who commanded our
battery, as May was about to charge,
called to him: Hold on, Charlie, until

any more interesting case Of courage
and gallantry than that Of Ridgely,
when he called on me to give him the
privilege Of drawing the fire that was
ready for May upon himself May
made the charge successfully and got

result we were victorious that day. |
