A Famous Shot.

A chicago lawyer has received from
one of the officers Of the United
States monitor Puritan letter giving
an account Of the bombardment Of
Matanzas and the famous shot which
silenced the Gordon Point battery.
The story was written at the request of
the attorney, and is as follows:
"You ask me about Matanzas, and
the bombardment. Wednesday the
New York came down from off Havana
to investigate report to the effect
that the dons were putting up some
new batteries at Gorda Point. She
passed us and signaled us to follow
her, steaming in to within 8, 1000 yards
sof the batteries. She stopped, and
suddenly we saw her forward 8-inch
guns fired, the shot striking the earth
works near the battery. The Span
iards replied to this shot, and the New
York began to light up. You could
not see her for smoke.
I'VE began to get nervous for fear
that we we're to be left out Of the muss,
so we signaled for permission to fire,
and it being given. we unclaimed a
few of our pets and did good work.
We fred only one Of eur 12-insh
guns. one in our forward turret, at the
Murillo battery, on the left hand side
of the harbor.

must have hit the battery. as the dons
were Immediately seen going over the
hill, striking the ground only in high
places.
1.-The famous shot was our last one
from the port forward finch, and it
was quite funny. A man by the name
of Jackson, an old cowboy, is the gun
captain. Three minutes after the Or
der. "ccase firing was given from the
flagship, everybody was startled to
hear the finch gun go off. The man
evidently felt he had dead head and
he let her go regardless. The range
was about two and one-half miles, and
the shot struck right in the Gorda
battery and burst-a phenomenal shot.
The men shouted themselves hoarse.

grain of sure enough coffee in Georgia
to warm the lady and make her feel az
much at home as possible under the
circumstances.
After SO long time, we began tt

sleep for the night. whereupon she
insisted upon just sitting in the chair
through the night. Nj. old woman

had as good a nights rest as I ever
had in my life, for the rain pattered
on the boards right at my head and
sounded so sweet that | forgot all
about the war and dreamed sweet
dreams the whole night through.
The young lady was up and gone by
the break of day the next morning and
our hearts went with her, wishing her
a god-speed upon her way. Up in the
day, after breakfast, I saw long line
Of blue coats coming. i called tn
old woman and told her that we were
goners-that old Sherman was upon
US. Browns girls were there and
persuaded me out Of running, and so
we stood upon the porch and awaited
the coming Of the soldiers.
Just as the line had arrived in front
Of our house the soldiers halted and
scattered to each side of the road and
sit down for a rest. Directly there
came in sight some men on horses,
and as they approached the soldiers
arose and shouted, with great waving
of caps:
s'Huzza, husza, huzza!'
I did not like that sound, nor ]
don't like it much till yet, but any
how, I soon understood that the men
and horses were some general and
staff, and before I could tell it two of
them rode right into our yard and
once again I would have swore that
we were goners, but they soon turned
to the well and inspired the hope that
they only wanted water. One Of
these two was monstrous handsome
young officer and the other was a
sharp-looking man, whom I after
wards learned was General Sherman.
I kept my eyes on them and expected
every minute to see them begin to
feel for matches, but they didn't, and
pretty soon the young officer lifted
his hat and gave US salute. Then,
thinks I, what in the thunder is the
matter with these yankees, and before
had time to feel good over their
politeness the old general called a
man and pointed toward US. This
man, with six others, at once came
marching up to us. and again I would
have sworn that we we're goners, but
the spokesman said, as they halted in
our front:
eve are sert here by General Sher-
man to guard your home.
Before 1 had caught my breath from
the surprise up rode another fellow
nth a whole lot of bundles and handed
them over to the old woman. Along
with a lot Of sure enough coffee and
other good things, there came note
for me. It read:
'These things are sent you by an
officer of the United States army
whom you so kindly entertained last
night, thinking I was lady-I am a

She does not need to sink her own
individuality in doing this. She will
be left freer and happier to follow her
own favorite pursuits if she willingly
leaves the reins Of the household in
the old hands that have held them for
so long. It is time enough when
they fail for Toms wife to take them
up. The saddest thing that can hap
pen on earth is the putting of mother
on the retired list before she herself

does not want to feel that because her
children are grown all her work for
them is at an end. She likes to feel
that in a measure they are always de-
pendent upon her.

her than to hear herself in time

When Tom, who has spent nearly
all his life in the country, goes to
town and in time marries city girl
and takes her to his country home,
then [ am sorry for both the city girl
and Toms people, to say nothing OF
Tom himself.
For so many years the quiet, cool
and roomy, old house has known the
same even rule. Toms mother was
