Both felt little more hopeful after
partaking of this refreshment, when
they parted with some solemnity, and
Blount made his way to his own place,
where he passed a wretched night, har-
assed by frightful dreams, in which he
found himself minus both the "beauz
yeux" and the ''cassette," of which he
hoped to possess himself.
After hasty visit to the Office, for
he never neglected business, Blount
hurried to Lonsdale Gardens.
"Well, Philip, have you telegraphed?"
was Mr.. Ardell's salutation.

two wires would seem ridiculous and

Il will go and telegraph myself, said
Blount, anxious to be up and doing,
and bent his steps to central office at
some distance, fancying it would be
more rapidly dispatched than from the
little local post Office in bakers shop.
Returning, runaway horse and
smashed vehicle impeded his progress,
and on his arrival James received him
with smiles. Miss Eastwood is up

Blount rushed upstairs, two steps at

BREAKFAST SAVED THE UNION.
Lees Hungry Soldiers Stopped to Eat and
His Plans Were Thwarted.

Lees Hungry Soldiers Stopped to Eat and
His Plans Were Thwarted.
Charging is the last resort of brave
but baffled commanders" said local
critic of military affairs. "and it almost
always results disastrously."
Thirty-one years ago the affairs of
the confederate army of northern Vir-
ginia were desperate enough to warrant
it's brave commander, Gen. Robert E.
Lee, to resort to charging.
So it came to pass on the morning of
the 25th day of March, 1865, he made a
break through the union lines and
opened the way to City Point, which,
if he could have reached and held, would
have prolonged the civil war for at
least another year.
The preliminaries were well ar
ranged. First of all 100 men appeared
in front of our picket line and an
nounced themselves as North Carolina
deserters. They were all armed, but the
officer in charge of our pickets well
coined them and told them to bring in
their guns, as Gen. Grant had recently
issued an order commanding his quar-
termasters to pay for all guns brought
in from the rebel ranks.
So this 100 of armed men were gra-
ciously invited to march in behind our
pickets. When once there they turned
suddenly upon the astonished union
troops and requested them to surrender
in words too impolite to print. And the
picket had no choice but to obey.
In the rear of the picket line stood
Forts Haskell and Stedman, garrisoned
by the Fourteenth New York artillery,
several of whom belonged in Utica. In
the early dawn of that mild March
morning the sleeping members of the
Fourteenth were awakened by the
sharp "Yi! Yi!" of the southern troops,
who pounced in upon them II, 900 strong
or more.
They were under the command of
Gen. William Mahone, Of Virginia.
After capturing the Fourteenth they
were expected to move forward to City
Point.
But here an obstacle arose that
neither Malone nor Gen. Lee had fore
seen That obstacle was our supplies
Of food. It was utterly impossible to
get the confederates, who were actually
starving, beyond our soft bread and
coffee, our fresh beef and salt pork.
The whole body paused and went to
eating, drinking and making merry,
without regard to the conclusion or
that well-known saying: For to-mor-
row ye die"
It was all in vain that Gen. Malone
threatened and swore and coaxed his
men. They simply would not stir till
they had satisfied their appetites.
This pause was the salvation of the
union army. It enabled not only the
majority of the Fourteenth to escape
from their captors, but the other divis-
ions OF the Ninth corps to come to their
relief, so that when the rebels were
ready to advance they found their wav
blocked, and they were compelled to re-
tire from the scene of their victory and
their breakfast table back to Peters
burg, badly beaten, and carrying moth
ing with them but full stomachs.
In a little more than a week from that
day Lee evacuated Richmond and Pc
tersburg, and in less than another week
ne surrendered.-Utica Observer.

One Occasion in His Life When the Gall

Personal bravery was one of the most

many an evening with the lady of his

made up his mind he must know his
fate before his call drew to close. 1t
was a warm summer evening. and they
sat and talked long of moonlight, music,
love and all the subjects that lovers
talk about. 1t grew late. Pater-
