A Circus Horse In Battle.

Colonel Charles Marshall. who was
aid-de-camp to General Robert f.
Lee and who went through the battles
of the war with lis chief. told the fol-
lowing amusing story of his experience
with n new horse: His old horse had
been shot from under him In the fight
of the previous day. and he had taken
possession Of an animal that seemed
TO suit the work. In the battle few
hours later he was riding across a field
in which there were numerous stumps.
Suddenly the performance opened.
The guns roarcd and the air was filled
with smoke and noise. Before Colonel
Marshall knew what was happening
the horse had his four feet on one OF
the stumps and was gayly dancing in
circle. In the mean time the firing
was increasing, and the situation was
anything but comfortable, but the
horse kept on as if he were enjoying it,
1T was not until afterward,' said
Colonel Marshall. that | found the
horse had belonged to a circus and had
been trained to do this act amid the
firing of cannon
