A GETTYSBURG INCIDENT.
The Narrow Escape of Soldier Who
Was Struck by an Explod-
ing Shell.

Il see by the war cablegrams," said
a resident of Pittsburgh, at one of the
hotels, that some of the dead Beers
found in the trenches where lyddite
shells had burst were without visible
wounds. Apparently they had been
killed by shock. That recalls to me
forcibly a very remarkable case, for
which L can vouch personally During
the first days fighting at Gettysburg
young man named Joe Cady, second
lieutenant in the Twentieth Pennsyl-
vania, was supposed to have been
killed by shell which exploded with.
in Il few yards of his head. Later in
the day some passing comrades saw
that he was breathing, and carried him
to the rear, where the surgeons made
an examination, and, greatly to their
surprise, could find no wound. The
man was in profound stupor, but to
all appearances was physically unhurt.
He was sent to the general hospital at
home, still in the same condition.
Cady was the son of n farmer who lived
near Harrisburg, and my own people
knew the family quite well. l was a
hoy not more than five or six years old
when the lieutenant reached the old
farm, but l remember distinctly what
a sensation the case created.
For several weeks Cady lay exactly
like one dead, and then, very gradually,
he began to emerge from unconscious
ness into horrible automatic sort of
life, next door to complete idiocy. He
could sit up, and even walk few steps,
but his mind was blank, and the only
sounds he uttered were gutteral
noises, like an animal. That shocking
condition remained unaltercd for near
ly three years; then, suddenly. without
warning. he had seizure like cata-
lepsy, from which he awoke in few
hours in complete possession of his
reason. He was terribly bewildered.
of course, but after the shock Of wax.
ing passed off he was the same as ever

A HORSES SUICIDE.
Humilintcd by the Whips my Bet
Rnn Away and Killed
Herself.

"Gen. Grant," said the colonel, in the
Chicago Inter Ocean, was close OBJ
server of men and horses. His eye went
over the horses OF an artillery COM
pany or of cavalry regiment lighting
up with appreciation of the soldierly
quality of horses as weH as the soldier
ly quality of men. After the surrender
at Appomattox, instinctively his SYM
pathies went out to the confederates
who owned and were attached to their
horses, and one of the first things he
thought of was some scheme by which
the men might be permitted to take
their horses home.
81 have always thought that Gen.
Grants influence had much to do with
inaugurating the policy that permitted
many of our own cavalry and artillery
men to smuggle home or to purchase at
a mere song favorite horses or company
pets. In one case 1 know that he OPEN
ly encouraged the men of an artillery
company to carry home bay mare
that had won a peculiar reputation.
There was not finer-looking mare in

SHE RAN AWAY.

any artillery company than Bay Bet.
She was purchased on her good looks
and her spirit, but she had never been
harnessed and she would not work in
team. She caused so much trouble that
she was finally assigned to one of the
officers as riding horse. In weeks and
months of service she developed the
genuine dramatic, battle spirit. She
carried herself as finely as any horse
in the service.
ION one occasion, when a good many
OF the horses were shot, the captain, as
Il last resort, ordered that Bay Bet be
put into harness that the guns might
be dragged to new position. Every
one expected to see trouble, but Bet
accepted the situation and we whirled
to the new line with the mare showing
as finely as she would in a cavalry
charge. The boys cheered and cheered
her, and the confederates probably sup
posed that the cheers meant victory
on some part of the line. After that
Bay Bet was one of the most service
able horses in the company, but she
would never bear a whip.
she was taken home and for some
months was allowed to play about the
farm at her will. In the fall it was
decided to use her in plowing. She
took to the harness we'll enough, but a
little skittish over the plow, but went
to work like an old stager. But early
in the day, the man driving the team
struck her with whip. She was furi-
Gus on the instant, and ran away, drag
ging the plow and the old farm horse
after her across the field in the style
of a cavalry horse careering to the
front, struck a snag of tree project
ing from the ground, and killed her
self. The boys of the company always
believed that, humiliated by the whip,
she committed suicide. 1 told the story
afterward to Gen. Grant, and he was
very much touched, and remarked that
he guarded his own army horses more
carefully than that"
