CHEERED THE CENSOR.
How q Gallant Irish Regiment Took
an After Battle scoiding.


The leading regiment of our column
was the Fifty-third, commanded that
day by Major Payn, afterward General
Sir William Payn, X. G. b., a very fine
regiment. who being mostly Irshmen.
were eager to meet their enemy. Mean
while received orders to cross the riv-
er by ford and get round the enemy's
right flank. and l had gone for this
purpose and was crossing about quar-
ter of a mile lower down, when sud-
denly l heard loud cheering and
heavy musketry fire, and then l saw
our troops CALAMITY advancing across
the bridge to the assault.
1t turned out to be the Ftfty-third,
who, tired of the delay under fire and.
1t was whispered, hearing that Sir
Colin had sent for his pet highfanders
to take the bridge, took their bits be-
tween their teeth and without any
further orders determined to rush the
bridge themselves. which they accord
ingly did. and with great success. The
enemy, once forced out of their posi-
ton, showed but poor, dssultory
fight and, as at Cawnpur, fell an easy
prey to the cavalry, who. having cross
ed, some by the bridge and others. In
Guiding myself. by the ford. fell on
them and pursued them with such sue
cess that we captured every gun they
had.
The Fifty-third were well pleased
with themselves and the result of the
fight they had so suddenly initiated.
but we heard that Sir Colin was great
" annoyed with them and after the ac-
ton rated them soundly for their In
subordination. But little did these
wild Irishmen care. They had had
their fight, and real good one, so far
as they were concerned. and as Sir
Colin concluded his speech Of rebuke
they gave him three cheers, and giving
three cheers more for General Mans
field, Sir Collins chief Of staff, who
had formerly commanded their regi-
ment, they quite upset the chiefs equa-
nimity, but at the same time cleared
away his wrath.-"Old Memories"

How Old Abe Learned TO Tell When

A man who heard Abraham Lincoln

before he was nominated for president,

next day on a train he asked him how

Lincoln replied: "It was my terrible
Encouragement which did that for me.
When l was a young man, l went into

Few people indeed are well in
formed Of the scheme of govern
ment or the duty OF public officers.
The ignorance of individuals in
this relation is not generally appar>
ent, unless conversation be led in
that direction. A novice in politics
so far exposed his ignorance to a
few gentlemen several days ago,
as to contend that public officer
owed allegiance alone to members
of such party. This naivete was
refreshing. as sample of public
intelligence, coming as it did from
a man who believed he knew a few
things in rotation to officials and
their duties. A public officer, and
it seems as if it was ridiculous to
say it, it should be generally
so we'll known, is the servant oi
the whole people, bound to perform
the duties Of his position with as
much alacrity for the individuals OF
