DAREDEVIL HEROlSM.
Brave Rescue of General Payne by Some
Negro Volunteers.

Brave Rescue of General Payne by Some
Negro Volunteers.
1.-The most daredevil piece of hero
ism ever saw was by some negroes be-
fore Fort Pillow, when l was a prison
er inside the fort and General Payne
was lying in front of it with his leg
shot off, was the way Charles Cotton
of Company of the One Hundred and
Sixty first New York infan began
story of valiant rescue that he told to
some negro veterans.
General Payne's leg had been shot
off in the first charge" he continued,
land he was lying hidden behind some
rocks in front of the fort, when his
troops were forming plans to rescue
him The scathing fire from the fort
swept that spot, and no officer dared to
command any of his men to go TO GER
tain death in what looked like vain
attempt to rescue their chief.
while the men were celebrating a
negro stepped up and said, I'VE might
as we'll run our chances now as any 9th
er time, and | for one will make the
attempt He was handsome fellow,
and the spirit he displayed was at once
equaled by that Of IL other negroes,
who stepped out and volunteered their
services. A stretcher was brought, and
four of them started, but had gone only
few yards when every one was shot
| dead. A moment after four others OF
the volunteers rushed out, and, picking
up the stretcher, carrie. :: :. : Few yards
farther, when they, too. were killed
The four who were left went ahead al
if nothing had happened, and two O
them came back alive with the general
while the other two were left dead a
the pile of rocks where General Payn
had been lying General Payne is still
living, and, am told, the two nobl
fellows who rescued him have wante

.,.r;..,. I.iterarv Necessity.

America needs to start new lntellec-
tual cycle, and it is superfiuous to say
that the way to start is not to rest In
the boasted excellence of some light
form of literature, for example, the
American short story. 1t will take larger
effort than this, and effort along lines
i'll beset, to bring out the American
rival of Homer and Dante and Virgil
and Goethe and Shakespeare. There is
a deal of meaning in the remark attrib-
uted to Horace Greeley that what the
United States needed was sound
thrashing, but that unfortunately nc
other nation OH earth was big enough to
give it to them. The old world is well
worn. 1t is gradually approaching, from
sheer WEAKNESS, social If not polltl'
cal federalism, in which America must
be teacher, not pupil.
But the only lesson which America II
now teaching the world III the ldeal
realm is precisely the lesson which Vor
Hartmann has already put In words
namely, that the literature OF the future
is To be as the farce which the Berlin
business man goes to see OF an evening
by way of recreation. 1t is doing 1t
hest to prove that after Goethe the roll
If transcendent genius is no longer to b'
played. BY way of bringing about
new movement in letters it would be al
excellent thing if some profoundly on
sided thinker should arise to shake q

SLAPPED HER FACE.
George Fisher Does lust That TO Mrs. Pc
ter Morrissey.

It is understood that a warrant VIII
be issued today on complaint of Mr.
Peter Morrissey for the arrest of
George Fisher for decidedly uncalled-
young man. He hung a swing to an
apple tree in Mr.. Morrissey's yard.
Mrs Morrssey didn't want him there.
She wasn't going to have him swinging
from any of her apple trees, and she
demonstrated with George, telling him
to go elsewhere with his swing. George
turned upon Mrs. Morrssey and struck
her full upon the face with the fiat of
his hand, making a very loud and pain
full concussion.
Now. George will be brought before
Judge Andrews, today, to tell the
court and others why he should have
done such an ungentlemanly thing. 1T
has caused much Indignation in the
neighborhood of Glendon street where
the parties live. and they do not want
a man about slapping women on the
| face They are united in this senti-
ment and will look with interest to see
what is done with George. George has
been troublesome before in one way or
another and il may be decided that the
great out-of doors is really too big a
| place for him.
