Relic From First Bull Run.

An interesting relic from the battle
field of first Bull Run was shipped
from Washington to the Michigan
state capitol at Lansing on the forty
second anniversary of that celebrated
engagement early in the Civil War.
The relic is black log, properly pre-
pared for preservation, which is
taken from a tree on the line of the
extreme Union advance at Bull Run.
Attached to the log is a handsomely
engraved bronze plate reading: Pre-
scented to Maj. Gen. Orlando B. Will
cox, by Charles F. Joy, M. c., of ST.
LOUIS Mo-, and by Gen. Wilcox to
ciation.''
Accompanying the log is a printed
placard for framing, which reads !:
This log is from the tree near the
most advanced line of the Union army
at Bull Run. Va. July 81. 1861. to
troit, commanding the First Michigan
Volunteers, was brought severely
wounded. Near this tree Michigan
dead were found in the extreme fed
eral advance. 1t was secured on the
battlefield in the presence of Gen.
Wilcox and Gen. Ira c. Abbott by
Charles F. Joy, M. c., of ST. Louis,
Mo-, a nephew of James F. Joy, who
with Gen. Lewis Cass and others
equipped the regiment. "-Boston

FIao That Never Came Down.

Surrender" was the message Go
back to your homes; 1 will not have
one of these young men encounter one
more hazard for my sake
That night Richard Hunt fought out
his battle with himself pacing to and
fro under the stars He had strug-
gled faithfully for what he believed
still believed. and would. perhaps, al
ways believe, was right He had
fought for the broadcast ideal of lib
erty as he understood it, for citizen,
state and nation. The appeal had
gone to- the sword. and the verdict
was against him. He would accept it
He would go home, take the oath of
allegiance, resume the law, and, as
an American citizen. do his duty He
had no sense of humiliation; he had
no apology to make. and would never
have-he had done his duty. He felt
no bitterness, and had no fault to find
with his foes, who were brave and had
done their duty as they had seen it !;
for he granted them the right to see
a different duty from what he had de-
cided was his And that was all.
Renfrew the Silent was waiting at
the smoldering fire. He neither looked
up nor made any comment when the
general spoke his determination. His
own face grew more sullen. and he
reached his hand into his breast and
pulled from his faded jacket the tat
tered colors-that he once had borne.
These will never be lowered as
long as l live" he said. nor after
wards if l can prevent it," And low
cred they never were On little ISL
and in the Pacific ocean this strange
soldier after leaving his property and
his kindred forever lived out his life

stained remnant of The Stars and

He Was q Good Jumper.

H, One Hundred and Twenty-fourth
Ohio, Il was a good jumper in the
army, but l never said l jumped
river, as the boys reported. 1 was one

Der of Hazen's brigade of the Third
division of the Fourth corps. At New
Hope Church, Georgia, May 81, 1864,
sherman sent HaZen against what he
supposed was the left wing of John
sons army in the air. HaZen strurk,
however, Johnson's right wing at
point where the line bent to conform
to the hills along Pumpkin Vine creek.
The rebel line was not in the air at
all, as we soon found out, but was
compact and ready for business.
However, we marched to our left,
came in contact with Claiborae's
division, charged and drove the reb-
els into their main works, where
they were REINFORCED by Walkers
division. We could go no further, but
we held our position until the two
rebel divisions charged us. The bri-
gade in retiring left our regiment
in an exposed position on the extreme
left. and we were soon cut off. The
boys fought like furies, and, checking
the rebel advance, made a dash for
the rear, the enemy following close.
Il was late in starting, and the rebel
skirmishers were abreast of me when
: reached Pumpkin Vine Creek.
las we came to the creek at full
run it seemed to some of the boys
about sixty feet wide. To me it did
not appear more than six feet wide,
and I made the jump of my life, clear
ing the stream. Those who didn't
jump were captured, but 1 went across
with a good deal of company. Before
this, in going down the hill brought
up against a log and fell, head first,
over it. A rebel right at my heels
struck at me with his musket and
ordered me to surrender. But 1 Kept
up my rolling, tumbling performance
until 1 regained my feet, jumped the
creek, and getting behind tree,
gave my pursuer as good as he sent.
Il never think of that scramble and
jump but / am reminded of Sheridan
remarks about Rosser's rebel cavalry
in the Shenandoah valley in 1864.
When they came down the valley
after Sheridan, Rosser's men wore
wreaths of laurel and ivy around their
hats. After they found Sheridan and
went scurrying up the valley, the
farmers suggested that they wear
pumpkin vines around their hats, be-
cause they were good runners. At
Pumpkin Vine Creek 1 was a good
runner and a good jumper. and so /

We Parted in Silence.

We parted in silence, we parted by night,
On the banks of that lonely river,
Where the fragrant lines their boughs
unite,
We met-and We parted forever.
The night-bird sang, and the stars above
Told many touching story
OF friends long passed to the kingdom of
love,
Where the soul wears its mantle of
glory
We parted in silence-our cheeks were
With the tears that We're past control

We vowed we would never. no, never for

And those vows at the time were con-
soling:
But those lips that echoed the sounds of
mine
Are cold that lonely river:
And that eye, that beautiful spirits
shrine.
Has shrouded it's fires forever.
AM now on the midnight sky I look
AN my heart grows full of weeping;
Each star is to sealed book,
Some tale of that loved one keeping
On the banks of that lonely river;
But the odor and bloom of those bygone
years
Shall hang Ger its waters forever

southern Cavalry sabers.

Speaking of cavalry" said the col
onel, there was an incident of the
fight between Sheridan's and Jeb Stu
arts cavalry at Hanover Courthouse
that made a great impression ON me.
The Union and Confederate lines
crashed together in charge, each
breaking through the other. A Union
cavalryman sitting his horse like a
statue struck at Confederate as he
rising, made back cut, severing the
Union soldiers head from the body
So perfect was the cavalryman's
poise, however. that the body retained
it's erect position for five or six yards
and then toppled over.
"A Confederate officer. on my refer
ing to the incident after the war, ex-
planned that in 1861 the Black Horse
cavalry secured a number of fine
Spanish sabers from the government
arsenal at Harper's Ferry; that the
men ground these until they were like
razors, and that as a result a good
many heads went off. The young Vir-
ginians of the Black Horse cavalry
were good riders, having been trained
in tournaments, and in the service
they gave special attention to sword
exercises. They believed, at one
time. they were superior to any other
cavalry in the world. but learned by
experience that they were not"-Chi-
