A Valid Excuse.

During the Civil War; said the
old army officer who was in a reminis-
cent mood, "I was detailed to take
charge of camp Of raw recruits and
lick them into shape. Now, making
soldiers out Of raw material is about
as disagreeable thing as an officer
cares to undertake, and I had gray
hair before the government listened to
my frantic appeals to be allowed to go
to the front.
"Onc cold, rainy night it occurred
to me that it would be good plan to
make tour of the picket lines and
see if the sentinels were attending to
their duties. To my horror and as
tonishment, 1 found post No. l va
cant. Boiling with rage, I made for
post No. 2. Here, too, I found the
same state of things. Post No. 3 was
in the same condition, and was rap
idly developing symptoms Of apoplexy.
A little further on found the three
missing sentinels grouped together
under tree.
"'What are you doing here?' I
roared.
why, mister drawled out one Of
them in tones of remonstrance, it's
| rainin'.
Don't you know that you can be
shot for this?' I roared again.
GIVE got here just as quick as we
could, answered the raw recruit, who
! evidently thought I referred to their
being wet, 'and the darned govern
ment didn't furnish us with any um-
| brellas.
II went to the front soon after that
and saw the same raw recruits face
without finching rains that were COM
posed Of leaden bullets, and they did
not ask f.r umbrellas, either

the third time before they gave up the
hopclessncss of their Undertaking.
Our position was about fifty yards
to the left Of the turnpike and the
Federals were in an open field some
four hundred yards further from the
turnpike. They retreated, not hast
lily, in left oblique direction to wards
the turnpike, distance Of four or
five hundred yards. And during all
this time they were in about the same
range Of our guns, and we we're hurl-
ing into their ranks death blows at
every step.
During this fight Lee and Long
street sat on their horses just under
the hill and were the silent witnesses
of the fight we made. We were glad
of this opportunity to get even with
the Federals for our humiliation at
Graveyard Hill.
We were It ashamed of the place
VIC occupied in the second battle of
Manassas, bu. it does pot compare
with the fight we made at Sharpsburg.
We went into that fight early in the
morning and ceased to fire when the
curtain Of night shut out the view.
We went in with six guns and brought
two whole ones out. We had no re-
lief during the entire day. There was
none to be had. We brought off all Of
our guns, four of them disabled, and
we brought off nineteen men who had
been killed or wounded. But l am
sure that there was no company that
killed more of the enemy that day
than we did.

This Soldier Shows Wisdom.

OwENsBoRo, Ky, Aug. lO.-The
devotion Of soldier and his sweet
heart is exhibited in the case of an
Owensboro girl and one of Unole
Sans fighting men in the far-away
Philippines. He enlisted nineteen
months ago and was at once sent away
to the fighting line.
Before leaving he made an assign
ment of SO per month Of his salary to
his sweetheart. Regularly once q
month the War Department has sent
her check for this amount, and she
has regularly deposited it in bank,
where it is drawing interest.
He has seventeen months more to
serve in the army, and if the fortunes
of soldiers life bring him through
safely, at the end of three years there
will be snug sum for them to begin
life Of double blessedness with. II
he should die she will turn the money
over to his relatives.

No Friends Of His.

The Rev. DR.. Leighton Parks, rector
Of Emmanuel Church, is no I'D for his
skill in rcpartee. He is also good
story-teller, but it is as an originator
of funny sayings that he has won es-
pccial distinction.
Not long before he sailed for Europe
he was guest at public dinner. On
his left sat young man who had con
tractcd the habit ofprofan ity. and the
habit was so strong that it mad gotten
beyond his control. The young man
had particular weakness for the ex-
preston, ooh, the devil!" He used
it thoughtlessly and without Intention
to give offense, but it seemed to serve
as sort of punctuation for every SEN
tence he uttered.
Finally friend of the young man
thought it necessary to give him a
hint, and said to him: "You d better
be little oareful of your expressions.
You're sitting next to the Rev. DR..
leighton Parks"
"The DEVIL said the young man in
surprise. And then, recovering his
presence of mind, he turned to the
clergyman and made very polite
apology.
"Oh, you needn't apologize to me, {"
said the doctor. ''The devil is no
friend Of mine

The Act Of Dying.

The popular idea that the act of
dying is painful process often caus-
es fear of death. But death from
even the most painful morta. diseases
is usually preceded by period of
cessation from suffering and partial or
complete insensibility, resembling
falling asleep, or the pleasant, gradual
Inconsistencies caused by an anaes-
thetic. The common phrase death
agony" is not warranted by what oc-
ours in actual death, which is a COM
plete relief from all pain. When
death is owing to heart failure or syn
cope it is sudden and painless
haps pleasant. Death by hanging,
there is reason to believe, is attended
by voluptuous spasm. Death by de-
capitation or electricity is only mo-
mentary shock, hardly felt. Death
by poisoning varies in painfulness ac-
cording to the poison employed.
Opium and other narcotics probably
give painless, perhaps pleasant,
dreamful death. Hemlock, as we
know from the account of the death
of Socrates, causes gradual insensibil-
ity, from below upward. On the 9TH
er hand, arsenic, strychnine, carbolic
and mineral acids, corrosive subli-
mate, tartar emetic, and other metal
lie poisons infict slow and torturing
death. Prussic acid and cyonide of
potassium cause quick and painful
death. Humanitarian.

With Evans and Anderson at Battle OF
RappallannOck.

In The Atlanta JourL,l of May 25th
Mr.. w. II. Andrews introduces some
personal "reminiscences Of Thorough
fare Gap with the staten cnt that
Evans and Andcrson's brigades re-
ccivcd severe drubbing at Kappa
hammock. 1t seems to me that this
statement is misleading. These
troops, without firing gun, the
enemy out of muskct range, were for
hours subjected to storm Of iron
hail, fragments of shells and solid
balls poured into their ranks from
batteries in surrounding positions on
the opposite side of the river. Then
these commands were, as l know
Evans was, made up Of unscasoncd
troops. But they did not run or re-
treat, but bravcly held their posi-
ton from early morning until late
in the afternoon, whcL the Federals
fell back toward Washington. This
severe test Of the courage of these
untrled soldiers was part Of Lee 8
program that mad to be acted, for on
it hinged the success Of his strategic
move. Pope must be delayed on the
banks of the Rappahannock to give
jackson time to get between him and
the national capital. This make be-
lieve effort to cross the river had the
desired effect, and I submit that it
was victory and not drubbing. But
there was some dusting done there
that day. l know whereof I speak
for I was one with those who did the
running. The Macbeth Light Artil-
lery, under the command OF Captain
Robert Boyoe, Was at that time at.
tached to Evans brigade. Captain
Boyce had fine education and was
q promising lawyer. He was high
strung and very sensitive. He lad
the ambition Of Caesar, and brav,r
man never lived. He was as oblivious
to danger az the coward is sensible to
it. And ne was, as General Lee said
| Of him that day, spelling for fight.

We went down that long hill like a
tornado, our horses doing their best
to keep our guns and heavily loaded
caissons under the impelling force Of
accclcrating motion from running over
them. General Longstreet was in the
turnpike at the foot Of tho hill and
ordered us to take position on a hill to
the left of the turnpike about fifty
yards further on.
Our arrival was timely, and our
position could not have been better

bosom his wife and children who were
no doubt surprised at his coming.
Our two scouts soon returned and re-
ported all quiet along the line. We
were then marched of through old
fields and woodland until we reached G
dead ravinc, beyond the picket and
through which small stream flowed
with dense pines on either side: here
we were ordered to dismount and keep
our horses quiet. The noise of the
little stream and that OF the whip
poor-wills were the only sounds that
greeted our ears during the hour Of
suspense. The main road tc James
City ran along the brow Of the hill
through the pines about one hundred
yards above US, fence on both sides
of the road, and Captain Strothcr had
sccrctcd himself in the corner of the
fence and covered himself up in the
leaves after he had pulled down gap
and leaving orders with sergeant to
bring the men forward at a signal
from him. After waiting for an hour
or SO day began to break and We heard
the tramp Of horses, men laughing
and talking, and in few moments a
foraging party of Yankees passed
along the road going to breakfast, or
mt least there is where they had start
cd. After they had passed the gap in
the fcn> Captain Strothcr gave the
signal, mounted his horse and ordered
us (who were nearly frozcn) forward.
We soon passed into the main road
and were then in rear and in full view
of 2S Yankee cavalrymcn, lieutenant
in charge. They did not seem to
notice US until we had followed them
for about one hundred yards, then
several of them suddenly turned in
their saddles and looked at US, but
taking US for another squad of Yanks,
did not realize their situation, and
hence were not in the least disturbed
at our sudden appearance. We were
then gaining on them little and
Captain Strother glancing backward
over his shoulder smiled and said to
us: "Let us get out Of tho woods,
boys, and then charge and give them
the pistol
We quickcncd our pace and were in
few yards Of them and in tho open
field, when the order came to charge.
The sudden dash upon them was like
clap Of thunder from clear sky;
bang, bang, bang was heard in every
direction; they wheeled and fired u
vollcy into us, but being unable to
withstand the sudden onslaught of
our boys and our determination to
win they all surrendered, but not until
several Of our boys had had hand to
hand encounters with the best Of
them. A few Yankees were wounded,
none killed. We did not have man
injured.
We gathered them together in a
short time and marched them to Mad
ison courthouse and that night We
were all back at our homes telling of
our experiences the night before.
