An Unexpected salute.

A curious incident OF the closing
scenes OF the American Civil War is
related 10y a correspondent of a st.
Louis newspaper. After General
Grant had received General Lees
terms Of surrender ut .Appomattox and
accepted them, some one-not General
Gr~ant--ordered the firing OF "A salute
Of one hundred guns In token of vic
tory. The salute General Grant quick
~ stopped. as he wished that every
means should he taken To spare the
sensibilities OF the brave men who had
surrendered. The proceedings went
on quietly, and the surrender was
completed. All was over, and peace
had succeeded war. when a strange
and irregular fusilIade Of musketry
was heard from the field of battle.
More than that, the air about the field
was .illed with whistling bullets. What
had caused a re-opening of hostilities?
Simply this-the muskets OF the Con-
federate soldiers had been allowed to
remain stacked on the field. SO sud-
denly had the fighting ceased on the
morning OF the 9th OF April that tbous-
ands OF pieces were left loaded. In
some way the dry spring grass on the
field caught fire, and the blaze ran
amongst the stacked guns. They were
heated to the point of explosion, and
soon the fusillade began. Most Of the
pieces were pointed upwards, and the
bullets rose until their force was spent,
and then fell upon the ground. Others
were pointed at an angle, and sent their
bullets far. On that spot the ground ia
TO this day strewn with bullets, and any
n may pick tl.,m Up who will. This
was the only salute which celebrated

4 Remarkable Cat.

This city can boast of many wonder
full things, but II of tine most wonder
full and inconceivable stories reached
the ear of Il reporter recently. The au-
thor OF the story is a direct descendant
of George Washington and his verac-
lily IL beyond question. \ few days
ago his daughter lost n valuable ear
ring. When the loss was announced
the entire family and even the neigh
bors secured the grounds about the
house and even the streets for blocks
beyond, but the search proved fruit
less, and the earring had seemingly
disappeared forever.
The family wherein the loss occurred
are possessors OF a large and handsome
tabby cat. The animal is a great pet
OF the family and it has the III OF the
entire house. One of its habits is to
crawl into bed with the children mt
early morning. Yesterday morning,
pussy, as was her usual wont, came TO
the children's chamber Oh her morn
ing rounds, but she seemed to be in
great distress. At times she would
try TO dislodge from her throat some
thing that troubled her greatly. Sud
denly she gave a ~convulsive gasp and
rom her mouth dropped the diamond
earring.
When the discovery was heralded
throughout the house, pussy was the
heroine of the hour.-Derby Trans
