campaign in the Tennessee valley, and
there was plenty of fighting to do.
In battle the major became another
man. The boys forgot his ugly and
contemplate ways, and I guess the
major himself did. Then we got a
glimpse of the man as he must have
been before some great trial spoiled
him. His eyes lost their dull and
filmy look and blazed beneath, his
shaggy broWs, and under his soiled
uniform his frame took on the COM
handing lines of the soldier. In the
noise and smoke his manhood had a
brief and savage resurrection.
''Somehow, before the regiment
knew it, on such occasions, it was fol-
lowing the major lickety-split in a
dashing charge, or taking his orders
as it stood grimly in line waiting at
tack. The colonel and lieutenant colo
mel, good fellows though they were,
did only a thinking part. It was the
major who was doing all the fight
ing, and the boys knew it.
"After every battle we would treat
the major with respect for a little
while. Our regiment was winning
glory. The colonel got the thanks of
congress and the general of the brig
ade got promotion, but we all knew
it was that mean cuss, the major, who
did it. We tried to be nice to him,
but he always spoiled things. Once
we actually got up a banquet in his
honor, after he had led the regiment
brilliantly in three successive days of
fighting in the woods But he drank
himself under the table and into a
prolonged debauch, and the next day
the regiment went into battle under
the colonel and was on the r,.n until
nightfall.
Il think we were all relieved when
the major disappeared once tor good
1t made the officers mess n1ore con-
genial. But the regiment never
amounted to much after that While
it began the war brilliantly, it. ended
it in disgrace, and our brigadier is
unofficially on record with the state
ment that the only good charge we
made in those last years was once on
the suffers tents. The war depart
ment never knew why our record was
so uneven. It was all on account of
that heroic old scoundrel, the maior."

He Got Posted.

It was an open car. A man of years and
sedateness sat next to young man who
was consulting a pocket dictionary. By and

KEENAN'S CHARGE.
How 800 Men Saved the Union Army
at Charlottesville by Deed
of Mntchless Daring.

This stirring story in rhyme recalls
a sad though heroic incident of the
battle of Charlottesville. Gen. How
ards corps (the ELEVENTH. had been
surprised and put to a disastrous rout
by Gen. "Stonewalr' Jackson's army
in that unsurpassed flank movement
which will go down upon the pages
of history as one most remarkable.
Gen. Birney's division of Gen. Sickles'
corps (the Third) was the first to feel
the shock Of the terrible disaster from
the victorious foe. Gen. Birney turned
to Gen. Pleasanton, that superb cavalry
leader, who happened to be near by,
to stem the tide until he could get his
men in position. This is touchingly
and strikingly portrayed in the follow
ing verses written by an unknown au-
thor soon after the battle:
