1T was at battle on the mountain,
near the sea, fighting bravely at close
quarters on a ridge overlooking deep,
wooded ravine that I was disabled.
There was opposed to us a battery of
heavier caliber, and, after our men were
nearly all down, dead or wounded. a
heavy ball struck me directly in the
muzzle, broke this jagged piece from my
side, dismounted me and hurled me
headlong into the ravine. It was e.
dizzy somersault, and was made use
less by many wounds, so was permit
ted to lie there. The battle went on
above, branches flew in the air, trees
were cut in two, and into that ravine
crept scores of brave men for shelter,
some to. recover later, but more to die.
What do the nattily-dressed pleasure

peace had come, honorable peace, the

Very calm and tranquil seemed the
pallid faces in the moonlight, and on
each was imprinted the friendly smile
of the boyhood days of which they had
conversed ere they sank into perfect
and drcamless repose.

And the drums for them no longer rattle
And silent is even's tattoo,
No more sounds the onset to battle

And the fields of the north give their bios

Thrills hearts that are lofty and true,
So long will our banner in glory

wages of the laborers to so month. or

Certain Ohio delegates are standing by

at home.
Norwood called at police headquarters
this morning, when he met Detective Wee
