GUN NO. 5.
by NJ. QUAD.

1t was Gun No. 5" in Smiths Bat
terry but we of the Second Brigade al
ways spoke of it as ''Shuman's Gun"
We did SO because Shuman was SER
geant Of the third section OF the BAD
terry, and because we cams to know him
we'll, along with many OF the other
gunners, before his gun had fired
hostile shot. 1t was rif1ed nine
FOUNDER, the same as all others but for
some reason it had a voice peculiarly
known. With thirty guns playing to
right and left we could pick out No. 5
without miss.
At First Bull Run it was the sixth
Regiment which supported and saved
Smiths Battery from capture, and it
was Company III" which lay in line
directly behind No. 5. That was the
battery's first fight-our first fight
and there were good reasons for one to
be proud CT the other. The enemy came
charging and yelling three different
times, and each time, as they neared
the guns, the artillerists fell fat and
we rose UP and poured in a volley
which numbered the earth with dead
and wounded. In the last charge they
reached ShumaE's gun and began to
drag it away. Only Shuman and two
or three gunners were left When the
sergeant saw that his gun had been
captured, he sprang up with a wild,
desperate look on his face and cried
out to us:
They've got my gun. boys-they've
get my gun, Rally, Company H
for Gods sake, rally and get it back"
And with our captain crying halt"
at the top of his vioce, and with the
brigadier cursing and storming that we
should move without orders, we dashed
forward as one man. There was only
a suffering of musketry before we
were upon them. Then 1t was the bay
onet and dubbed musket-even the fist.
In five minutes we had heaped them up
or driven them off, and the gun was
reoaptured. At second Bull Run, as the
Sixth was extended in battle line, Com
pany II just fitted into gap in a half
destroyed stone wall. The gallant
Kearney had fallen at Chantilly, and
the blue masses had been slowly crowd
ed back to the old battle ground. AS
regiments and brigades fell back. the
feet Of living men kicked aside the
skulls and crushed the bones of the
dead of months before. Exultant and
implacable, the gray masses followed,
and there was desperate fighting over
that vast graveyard.
There they come-get ready-here is
where we roll 'em back"
As regiment in gray moved straight
up for the gap, while other regiments
moved upon the tanks. Company H
poured in It's fire and defed death. II
beat back the regiment-ten TO one
once-twice-thrice. Then 1t was deci-
mated-and more. OF ninety-fve men,
only sixty could handle musket.
Il cant spare man. You must die
where you are," replied the brigadier
when asked for reinforcements.
The sixty men were reduced to ffty-
five-to afty-to forty. and we were JET
holding he gap and holding the enemy

when there was a hip-hurrah from the
rear and up came .'Shuman's Gun" on
the full gallop. No care for the dead
no care for the wounded. The gun
swung into position and numbered,
the crash of battle shouting:
Down on your faces. Company H
I'm going to use canister" 1t was but
a single gun from the battery--but it
was Shuman's gun-and as we fell on
our faces the wicked missiles pinged
and screamed above us and shrivelled
up the head of the advancing column
as fire destroys dry bush. The gun
ners worked with bullets flying about

Shuman's gun was with us as we
fought to the right or left at Peters,
burg, seeking to break through and
seize the railroads, but when Grants
finally settled down to wear out the
foe we made discovery and had tof

had seen her best days. In her last
night her shot and shell had not been

Shuman sorrowfully admitted that she
had been strained by the hundreds OF
discharges, and that the next one fired
might kill friend instead of foe.

Using Soda In Cooking.

1t requires little skill or experience to
use soda with nicely, but it is worth while
to acquire such skill Indeed there is
scarcely an item in culinary processes
which better repays one for intell gent ex-
perimenting t'he bicarbonate of soda
used today is very different article from,
the carbonate of soda or saleratus with
which careless cooks made spotted bis ats
in our grandmothers' time Used with n
acid, as buttermilk, it is as scientifically
wholesome as any article employed as an
adjunct in cookery. In many instances
baking powder cannot give as good results
as soda.
1t is scarcely possible to give an abso-
lutely exact rule of measurement for soda,
as brands differ somewhat in strength and
milk varies in degrees of acidity. But a
general rule is one level teaspoonful of
soda to one pint of sour milk Be sure to
pulverize the soda before measuring

The Mountain Torrent In Flood

Those who have never heard the terri
BILE booming roar of torrential cataract
racing from the far distant mountain tops,
combining riyulets into mad streams and
streams into stupendous, seething rivers
which tear and break and crush huge
powders from their natural fastenings and
play and sport with them as the tiny
meadow brook shifts its speck of sand-to
them this sound is meaningless, and their
happy hearts beat on in contentment, but
TO the sunburned and hardy pioneer it
conveys quick and definite warning of
grayest danger, and II mayhap he be in
closed by the almost vertical walls of the
arroyo, cut deeper by each succeeding tor
rent, he urges on his animals in a frenzy
begotten of fear and dread, knowing only
too well the frailty of the slender thread
of life if he fail TO gain the approaching
wagon trail by which alone he can be
saved from the most frightful of watery
graves.
If that devastating, swirling, onward
rush of water overtake him, his annihila-
ton may be so complete that all trace is
lost forever, his lifeless and mutilated
body lying buried under tons and tons Of
torrential debris miles from where the
flood overlook hin.-Williala D!nwiddie

but both natives OF this town, who are
spending a few weeks with airs. A. S.
Cummings, twin sister of Mr.. Emery,
and the only survivors OF family OF nine

employ OF ship chandlery firm, and re-
manned with it seven years, with the ex-
ception Of part OF one year spent on a sea-
voyage. In January, 1857, he began the
business OF ship broker with his brother,

tinues the business under the same firm
name Of John S. Emery Il Co., which is
the oldest firm in the business, and well

~ J'NDEvEIorED PARADISE.

saturday small party improved the
! delightful DAY for a ten-mie drive to a
mineral spring whose medicinal proper
! ties are inducing many to try its virtues.
| At thi- midsummer season the frequent
showers have produced June freshness
/ on every SIDE, and with he dust well laid
a drive in any direction is pleasure.
| The drive to Indian Meadow neck was
| particularly pleasing and picturesque.
The ridge OF land is At quite an elevation.
| Aside from the privilege o procure the cur
alive water which IS said to annihilate all
stomach troubles, one thoroughly enjoys
the marvellousiy fine views to be obtained
everywhere. Large farms show well-cul-
tivated acres and attractive homes, where
| inviting piazza chairs almost persuade
one TO stop. Finally, descending grade
| obstructs the View Of many lakes and
mountains, and forest trees border the
narrow highway till we reach the broad
beach of Moss-es pond, beside " nieh we
drive for awhile, till the leading team
halts, and the company then alights at
nice plank walk which leads to the
spring.
Refreshing drsughts OF the water are
drank, the receptscles for home use are
soon filled, and a face about move is
made, half OF the distance of TIE road
which skirts the pond at the left to
point where a long table, seats and re-
freshment booths have been erected in a
grove. Here the party enjoys its spread,
while the horses, tethered to trees, seem to
appreciate equally well their less
abundant provision.
Some day there may be an opening up
OF this inland paradise as a health resort.
There IS, really, much to commend it to
those desiring location back from the
coast.
