A good story is told Of the GOODNESS and
bravery Of Gen. John Irving Gregg, who
commanded cavalry brigade in the
Army of the Potomac during the war.
1t was at the second battle Of Malvern
Hill, August 5, 1862 He was cavalry
captain then, and his regiment was Or
dered to support old Bull Sumner in
his movements against Lee. He was on
the right, and was in u field in column
of companies. The Johnnies were adj
vancing, and presently got within
range, pelting the federals with bat
terry and line Of sharpshooters. II was
very hot, and all the more uncomforta-
BILE because the fire could not be re-
turned. Seconds seemed hours, and
minutes seemed days, as the federal
troops sat under that death-dealing fire.
Directly behind the head Of the column
was Gen. then captain) Gregg's COM
pany. But the general never WINGED.
He sat bolt upright in his saddle He
motioned to the captain commanding

HUGE MUSKRATS.


Forced to Fight Them on.
Residents Of Waltiam are in terror
Of their lives because of the prev
alcnce OF muskrats Of huge size about
the streets. These rats, says Bos-
ton correspondent Of the Chicago
Tlmes-Ilerald, are supposed TO come
from u number Of old drains about the
city, in which they breed, and sally out
at night to attack peaceful pedestrians.
Early one morning lately Conductor
W. +. Phelps, of the Fitchburg railroad,
was coming down the railroad track
and was attacked by large rat, which
tried to fasten Its teeth In the conduc-
tors leg. The latter drew his revolver
and fired two shots into the rat before
1t was killed.
A few nights ago DR.. Fred NJ. Stiles
had death struggle with q rat which
lay in wait for him in front OF his house
on Moody street. DR.. Stiles picked up a
barrel stavc in self-defense, and hit the,
rat with II as 1t rushed at him, but it
broke short of In his band and the an
imal sprang at him again and again un-
til 1t was finally stunned by lucky
blow. 1t was as large as q grown cat
and had teeth two inches long.
But the nerviest attack was made
upon patrolman. A rat jumped ON
him and climbed up his leg, biting him
all the while. The policeman drew his
club, and, after a hard struggle, sue
ceeded In beating off the animal.

the head of the column, who rode back
to where he sat. Taking small flask
from his pocket, he said to his com
rade:
Don't you think we had better take
a drink, captain?'
with all my heart, replied the latter.
Gregg deliberately unscrewed the top
from the flask and, holding It out, said.
"Well, old man. go ahead"
just then there was a zip, crash Of
glass, and the liquor streamed down
over Gregg's hand. Gregg raised his
eyes, and, fixing them on the Johnnies,
where the ball came from, over on the
hill, shook his fist at them and ex-
claimed;
well, I'll be - If you fellows amt
getting too mean to live."
1t was a cool act, and proved the
wonderful GOODNESS Of the man in the
presence Of great danger.-St. Louis

FISHING For spoNaEs.
An Expert IN Poorly Paid and Always
suffers from Rheumatism,

suffers from rheumatism.
Lying ON his chest along the boats
deck, the sponge fisher, with his water
glass "a pane set in a box fitted with
handes--looks down 40 feet into the
clear depths, s1ys Parsons Weekly.
With one hand he grasps and sinks q
slender pole, sometimes 50 feet in
length, Cited at the end with double
hook The sponge once discovered,
the hook is deity inserted at the rocky
base, and by sudden jerk the sponge
is detached,
This curt description Of what seems
the simple work Of sponge fishing gives
no idea of the rcal skin and eXertion
needed. The eye Of the fisher has to
be trained by long experience to peer
into the sea and tell the commercially
valuable sponge from those that are
worthless. He must have u dcft hand
TO dctach the sponge without tear.
Above ull, while doing this with one
hand, he must manipulate with the
other the water glass, as the waves
sway II sideways andup and down, The
strain on eye and body is most intense,
to say nothing of the cramped position
and exposure to wind and wet, which,
first and last, make almost every
sponge fisher u victim Of acute rheuna-
tism. Yet with all his arduous toll,
an expert fisher earns not more than
three pounds sterling n month, besides
his keep on the boat which barely
deserves the name of existence.

The story OF the gallantry of Color
bearer John Keggins, Of the One Hun
bred and Forty-ninth New York in
fantry, is one which cannot fail TO
thrill any man with blood in his veins.
II was at Lookout mountain. AS Geary's
line swept around the point the union
artillery in the valley below was firing
upon the enemy, which occupied the
mountain side. Not recognizing
Gcary's men, they continued Smelling,
greatly endangering the lines Of their
own troops. With that sublime courage
that sometimes marks men in great
emergencies, the brave Keggins jumped
upon stump, where he was fully ex-
posed TO the view OF both armies, and
waved his colors frantically TO attract
the attention OF the union battery. The
rebels, surmising his object, and realiz-
ing the advantage to them Of having
the union battery continue in its mis-
take, directed deadly fire upon the
heroic fellow. Two bullets passed
through his clothes, grazing the skin,
and another plowed through his hair
and scalp, but he accomplished his OBJ
tect.

WAR "REMINISCENCES.
THE GALLANT BOY IN GRAY.

Fredericksburg had had her fray.
And her armies stood at bay;
Back Of wall and top Of hill
Union men and men In gray
Glowered at each other STILL
In the space between the two
Many hapless boy In blue
Lay face upward to the skies:
Many another, Just as true,
Filled the air with frantic cries.
Love Of God" with pity stirred.
Cried rebel lad who heard;
"This is more than can bear!
General, only say the word,
They shall have some water there"
whats the use?" his general,
browning. asked "A Yankee ball
Drops you dead, or worse. half way.
Once you 90 beyond the wall"
"Maybe!" said the boy In gray.
"Still, I'll risk 1t. II you please"
And the senior, III at ease.
Nodded, growing under breath.
For his mortal enemies
have sent the lad to DEATH"
Then the hotter fire began
As across the field he ran;
Yankee shooters marked prey:
But beside each wounded man
Needless knelt the boy in gray.
Parched lips hailed him as he can't:
Threats with fever. all aflame,
While the balls were spinning by,
Drained the cup he offered them,
Blessed him with their dying cry.
Suddenly, through rain Of those
Pattering shots, a shout uprose;
Din of voices filled his ears;
Firing ceased, and eager foes
Made the welkin ring with cheers.
Foes they were, Of bitter need.
Still to every noble deed
Hearts of men, thank God, must thrill;
And we thrill, too, as we read
OF those cheers on Marye's hill.
Days Of battle long since done,
Days of peace and blessing won;
Better is it to forget
Cruel work Of sword and gun;
But some deeds are treasures yet.
While a grateful nation showers
Graves of heroes with her flowers,
Here's a wreath for one to-day;
North or south, we claim him ours
Honor to the Boy in Gray!
