HUMORS OF WAR.
some short Stories of Funny Happen
ings in the Struggles between
North and South.

In the early stages of the war when
both armies were feeling each others
lines and trying to divine what move
ments each intended, a somewhat face
tious colonel of Philadelphia regiment
composed largely of lrishmen formed
part of the command of Gen. Stone,
then lying near Poolsville, Md. One
night the colonel was out somewhat
late making social calls. returning to
his camp without the countersign. AS
he approached the camp he received
the usual challenge from the guard. At
the command to advance and give the
countersign he rode up to the guard
and explained that he did not have
the ountersign, but that of course the
guard knew him as his colonel.
20, Of, coorse, shure | knew the
colonel's' white harse WELL" and the
guard stood at salute while the
colonel rode past. 1t was but few
minutes after the colonel reached his
quarters when the guard found HIM
self relieved and placed in the guard

The moral effect of the English vic
tories in South Africa are likely to be
out of all proportion to the import
ance of the battles themselves.
These victories have not only solidi-
fed England but they have given Con-
tinential Europe an object lesson that
will be far reaching in it's results.
AS it was in the SpanishAmerican
war, it was the superior intelligence
of ''the men behind the guns that
won these victories.
England is strong on the seas. These
events have shown that she can be and
is strong on the land. Europe will do
well to heed the lesson, and probably
will.

Horse Made Two Prisoners,

We are indebted to the Buffalo Horse
World for most interesting account
of how horse in our civil war made
two prisoners. Sheridan was in the
Shenandoah valley, and, confronting
him, Gen. Jubal A. Early, with large
force Of confederate cavalry. A mag
nificent horse was brought into the
union camp, and Maj. Oscar L. Teach
out, of our cavalry, appropriated him.
In charge made few days later the
horse took the bits in his teeth and car
ried the major, in spite of all his eff
forts, a prisoner into the confederate
camp. Here the horse was appropriated
by confederate colonel, and a little
later, in another engagement, took the
bits in his teeth, as before, and brought
the colonel, in spite of all his efforts,
into Sheridan's camp. So the horse
made union major and confederate
colonel prisoners Of war.--Our Dumb
Animals.

NOW, POLLY. FOR HOME"

young unionist. Two or three weeks
later he was able to take quite long
rides on the horse that had served him
so well. One day, when some distance
from home, a body of confederate troop
ers flew at him like a bunch of wild
cats and demanded his unconditional
surrender. His answer was call upon
Polly for another dash for liberty. She
sprang to her work grandly, but the
next instant fell pierced by half a
dozen bullets. Munson then attempted
to escape by running. Volleys were fired
at him, fairly Kidding his coat, hat and
trousers, but, marvellous to say, none Of
the bullets hit him. However, as he
could not run as fast as those Virgin
ians mounted on racers, he was again
captured and made a prisoner in
building several miles from home,
where he was kept for several days.
While looking through the small win
dow in an upper room Munson saw one
OF his neighbors driving past. By per-
sistent waving of handkerchief he at
tracted his attention. The man drove
close to the house, saw who he was,
and then notified the Munsons, who in
some way succeeded in bringing about
a release of the young man. After that
the family did not risk themselves out
side the union lines.
Daniel Munson, the hero of this
sketch, has resided at or near Munson's
Hill ever since the war. One of his
brothers, the father of Mrs. DR.. Cor
bitt, has been in department at Wash
ington nearly IS years, going regularly
from his Virginia home to his duties
six days in the week. He has grown
gray in the service.---J. A. Watrous, in

MUNSON OF MUNSON'S HILL.
The Thrilling Experiences of n Loyal
Young UniOnist and His
Noble Horse.

While guest of DR.. Harry Corbitt
and wife, near old Fort Berry, Va, a
few miles out from Washington, recent
ly, collected material for thrllingly
interesting chapter. DR.. Corbitt's wife
is a granddaugh of Munson, who
owned the Munson hill plantation, the
point occupied by the confederates
when they advanced toward Washing
ton after the first battle of Bull Run.
Soldiers and others who were in and
about Washington at that time will re-
member the wild stories about the
Davis government planting guns on
Munson's hill that would reach the cap
ital, plainly in view from that point,
but over six miles away. There were
no guns in existence, at least none in
the United States, at that time capable
of sending missile so great distance,
though to-day they have them that can
send solid shot or shell three times
as far. What Smelling Washington
would have received soon after the first
Bull Run, over sc years ago, had Beau
regards men possessed a battery of mod
ern long-distance guns. But this is not
the story.
Mr.. Munson, of Munson's Hill, who
had gone to Virginia from New Eng
land state, was q stanch union man.
His son Daniel, then young man, was
in hearty sympathy with him, as was
the whole family. That rendered him
very unpopular with his secession
neighbors, who were determined that
the young fellow Dan should enter the
confederate service. Urgings failed to
secure him, and so did threats.
Soon after hostilities began young
Munson was taken down with fever.
A band of confederates rode up to the
house one afternoon and insisted on his
joining them, and would listen to no
proposition for further delay. Again
he declined, and spoke of his illness as
an excuse for wanting them to leave
him, but they wouldn't. They had his
favorite saddle horse brought to the
door, took him out of bed, helped to
dress him, led him from the house,
placed him in the saddle and started
for Fairfax Court House. He was so
seriously Ill that he could not sit up.
He lay down, throwing his arms around
the neck of his horse. They had gone
several miles. While passing through
a forest whose underbrush was very
thick, Munson, through a fortunate
blunder on the part of his enemies,
found himself at the rear of the party.
A gentle touch of the rein brought his
faithful animal to standstill. a mo-
ment later it was facing the other way,
and heard the commando: Now, PoNy.
for home" and with her masters arms
clinging about her neck, still unable
to sit up, the fine blooded mare made
rapid time in getting back to the Mum
son mansion. Every member of the
family petted and fed Polly" sugar
that night as partial reward for res
cuing their son and brother.
Strange as it may seem, the long ride
and hard experience did not have an
unfavorable effect on the enfeebled

house. A week had passed, during
which the accommodating guard had
done pennance for his lack of discipline,
when the colonel returned in the same
manner and found the same man on
guard. In response to the usual chal-
lenge the colonel rode up and suavc-
ly attempted to establish his identity.
The response came quickly: "Arrah.
shure, l knowed the colonel's white
harse vance, but, be gorra, don't know
ing the position of charge bayonet.
The colonel was compelled to ride
back to headquarters and get the coun-
tersign before he could enter his own
camp.
At the second battle of Bull Run some
confederates were captured by the
union army. They were resting in a
field under guard when some of the
union soldiers gathered around and en-
tered into conversation with them.
The most voluble of the union soldiers
argued on the policy of the confeder-
ates giving up the fight. You KNOW
he said, you'll be beaten in the end,
and you had better give up now rather
than later"
Apparently the most intelligent of
the Johnnies, who was seated Oh the
grass hugging his knees, REPLIED
well, we may be beaten in the end,
but we intend to have our fun as long
as it lasts"
The second battle of Bull Run, which
was running fight, gave little OPP
portunity to either side to practice
much ceremony over the dead. Those
of the union army who fell within the
lines subsequently occupied by the con-
federates were simply covered up with
earth where they fell. When the union
army passed over the ground in their
advance later it was found that the
heavy rains had in many instances
washed away the earth, leaving the
limbs partially exposed, and the hogs
of the neighborhood had fed on the eX-
posed parts. Some of the foragers cap
tured young pig in the woods near
by and donated it to the officers mess.
1t had been roasted to a beautiful
brown and placed on the mess table be-
fore the guests, when the host, as he
poised carving knife and fork in his
hands, inquired of German lieutenant
If he would be helped to little roast
Yankee" The officer addressed, with
out making any response, fled from he
table to his own quarters. He subse-
quently said that was the last battle
field pork for him.
Still covered up but in a perpetual
swamp was another grave near which
lay union army hat. An lrishman be-
longing to one of the batteries coptem-
plated this scene for few moments,
and then exclaimed:
"Ah, the haythens! To bury poor
man in that wet groun' without his hat;
shure he might catch his death av
