HIS MILITARY TERMS.

ulations, But Effective.

Not Strictly in Accordance with Army Reg
ulations, But Effective.
a war story 1 saw recently said an
ex-volunteer colonel, reminds me of
one that came under my notice. 1t hap
pened down on one of those low-banAed
rivers that come down to the sea along
the coast of South Carolina. A con-
federate captain, unsllilled in military
matters. but enthusiastic in his de-
sire to wipe the entire north off the
map, had about 100 men down on the
shore or beach watching gunboat
lying out in the stream Back of his
force was the sedge, and beyond that
again was the brush, which scarcely
ever in that locality ever reaches the
dignity of timber.
HE had rot been in plain view on
the beach very long till the gunbcat
was onto him, and pretty soon shell
came whizzing along his way. His
men yelled and fired musketry volley
in return in derision. Then another
shell came, for the gunboat people
didn't know what was behind the force
on the shore, and several more shells
followed, till it got so hot the captain
couldn't stand it. He didn't know
Just what kind of a command to give to
get out of range, and it was impera
tive to get out, so he roared:
"'Unbeach and sedge.' This wasn't
in any book of tactics, but it served
its purpose with the nondescript force
the nondescript officer had, and the
men broke for the sedge. The shells
followed them there in few minutes
and the officer found it necessary tc
move again, and this time he sang out:
"'Unsedge and brush This com
mand was obeyed with promptness
and the men took to the brush, where
the shells soon made it hot for then
again. Just what TO do was not very
clear to the officer, but his NapoleoDie
genius came to his rescue, and getting
himself ready for prompt action ne
shouted:
"Unbrush and squander.' Then The
entire force rsquandered,' and a shell
couldn't have found one of them In {
week with search warrant."-Wash

WHEN oeEDlAH TUCK HIS GUN.

When Obediah tuck his gun
An sot out fur the wah,
we knowed that trouble had begun,
That's what he went thar fob.
He lowed il scrappin' wuz the game.
He'd see what he could do.
Eff he got licked 'twuz jis' the same'
AS eff he licked a few.
He heered the cannons an he said:
I'm gwyin' toh take hand.
I'll use a leetle cold, gray lead.
An help 'em save the land!'
His wife, she told him ton be true,
An ODE he said: You bet.
" I'm gwyin' toh see this frakus thro'
An cont yeh nevah fret"
He skirmished with the picket lines,
He tackled the sharpshooters.
He charged the forts at Seven Pines
An footed with the toorers.
He'd rid with Forrest on his raids,
He'd fit with Morgan's men;
But fightin' wuz like dress parades
AS material toh him then.
Sometimes the Yanks would corner him.
An bullets round him whiz,
His chance for life would look right slim,
But ODE, he knowed his biz"
One day they cotched him in a f1ep,
With twenty Yanks a-shooting,.
Good Lord! you orter heahed him squealI
And gee' he did some scootinI
But then he nevah wuz afs cred.
He nevah thought O. danger,
In the battle, death appeared,
To ODE, a perfect stranger.
At Chickamauga he wuz hit,
But twusn't by bullet,
A sesesh woman in mt,
Got even for pullet.
These wuz the only wounds he got,
His rabbits foot preserved MIN.
The Dustin shell, nor whizzin' shot,
They nevah onct onnarved him.

This Johnnie" old and plucky,
He tuck toothpick an tin cup
An come back toh Kaintucky.

when the First Rhode Island stood
before Richmond on that awful July
day Kady was there with her colors.
She was located on slight eminence,
and the flag she so jealousy guarded
formed definite rallying point for the
rc,en as the skirnish deepened into a
general engagement. Shells screamed
through the air like bowling fiends, but
Kady stood by her colors."
Mrs. Brownell's application for the
position was supported by letter from
Gen. burnside, written in 1868, in which
he said: Mrs. Brownell was with my
command during thecampaignin North
Carolina, and by her service on the bat
tlefield of Newborn and in the hospital
located there saved many officers and
soldiers from death Chicago Trib-
une.

WOMAN WAR VETERAN.
Mrs. Kady Brownen Was Color Bearer at
Bull Run.

Mrs. Kady Brownen Was Color Bearer at
Bull Run.
Mrs. Kady Brownell, the only wom-
an on record as having regularly en-
listed in the war with the south, be-
came an employee of New York city a
few days ago as an attendant of one of
the cottages in Central park. Mrs.
Brownell was obliged to pass a civil
service examination to get the place.
81 was bound to get it," she said,
'and 1 did get it. You see, my hus-
band has been out of work for nearly
a year. 1t was necessary for somebody
to go to work, so l thought would see
what 1 could do. But woman has
got to hustle in these times to get a
decent chance"
Mrs. Brownell's appearance is thor
oughly inconsistent with her war rec
ord. She served under Gen. Burnside
for three years, and was color-bearer
at Bull Run; but she is as sprightly and
CHEEKY as a woman of 80. Il never
know what it is to feel tired" she de
clared.
Mrs. Brownell fell in love with Rob.
ert S. Brownell and married him in
Providence, r. I. The day after the col,
ors were sent down at Fort Sumter

SCENE AT THE HOSPITAL.
Experience of Man Who Said Doctors
Were HeartlesS.

Experience of a Man Who Said Doctors
Were HeartIess.
An opinion was expressed by pro-
fessional man the other day that doc
tors were a heartless lot of people, and
the man who expressed it backed it
up, says the New York Sun, with an in
cident he had witnessed in a hospital.
A patient was suffering from by
drophobia, and the professional man,
who was looking at the sufferer,
asked the doctor:
docs the sight of water throw him
into a spasm?"
"You can see for yourself" replied
the doctor, and he produced a glass of
water, the sight of which brought on
a spasm horrible to witness.
Some time later, when the ward
where the sufferer was lying was Wis
tied by two physicians, one of them
asked the attending doctor:
What is his condition? Has he got
any chance of getting well?"
He is very low" was the reply,
''He's likely to die any minute. You'll
be at the autopsy tomorrow, won't
you?"
THAT shocked me-" said the profes-
sional man. ut was all right, know.
The patient didn't understand, but the
idea was shocking. 1t was cold-blood-
ed. It doesn't seem to me that hu.
man being should ever permit himself
to become so callous. But they do
want to say right now that if am
ever sick shall protest against going
TO hospital so long as there is breath
in my body. I'll die at home or in the
street, but no hospital ever gets me
remember that"

A Hairy Boy.

The greatest curiosity of western
France is a modern Esau, in the person
of Leon Fernerod, the nine-year-old
son of well-tO-do parents living in the
little village of Vindieq. The boy was
born in May, 1856, and from the day of
his birth has been covered with heavy
growth of curly. straw-eolored hair.
Several attempts have been made 10
remove this queer hirsute growth. but
so far all such attempts have been ID
vain. The boy dislil1es very much TO
he called the hairy boy" and even his
parents are said to be very sensitive
or the subject.

OUTGRoWN FRIENDSHIPS.
Sad Changes in the Sunny Fields of Com
radeship.

Sad Changes in the Sunny Fields of Com
radeship.
Is there anything more distressing
in life than a friendship outgrowna
This doesn't mean one that has been
broken off through some difference of
opinion, some misunderstanding that
q few words could have set right, or
an enlargement the result of hasty
temper that prompted ugly words and
untruthful, bitter sentiments; no, a
friendship outgrown is the unhappy
product OF too much worldliness on
one side or the other. Perhaps educa.
ton would be the better word, or a
knowledge of the world a more comely
phrase, but whichever pleases most the
outcome of the same never varies.
Take two girls at school, says the
Philadelphia Times, chums they have
been through all the years of study
and fun they have passed together,
they separate at graduation swearing
eternal friendship, letters fly back and
forth for time, and then one pays the
other a visit All, how many illusions
have been dispelled in that reunion
Life has changed one, perhaps, from
the girl of a year ago into a woman,
while il has left the other where she
was. After the first good talk over old
times they cannot help seeing that
there is something different in the at
mosphere that was once so thorough
" congenial. The visit over, few more
letters, then silence and another friend
ship lost in that great labyrinth OF
change that has grown up on the sunny
fields of comradeship.

A RIond-Stained Leaf.

One of the most peculiar and at the
same time interesting relics of the war
is in the possession of j. b. Mann, a
resident of Randolph county, III. 1t
consists of a leaf, upon which dark
stains are plainly visible. The day
after the battle of Atlanta, July %,
1864, Mr.. Mann visited the field and was
shown the spot where Gen. j. B. Nc
PheEson fell, pierced by bullet from
the enemy's gun. The leaves of a small
shrub, upon which Gen. Mcpherson
fell, were dyed with the blood of the
brave commander. Mr.. Mann was
greatly impressed with the scene, and
plucked several of the blood-stained
leaves, which he sent home in letter.
The leaves are remarkably well pre-
served, and the blood stains are plainly
visible after 81 years. Mr.. Mann is
proud of the relic, and he and his sol
der friends review the experiences of
army life with great relish as their
memories are called back to the excit-
ing times of the early COS by the blood
stains on a leaf.-St. Louis Republic.
