the last one he ever saw on earth. That
morning the members of the G. A. R..
the veterans in that vicinity, arose
earlier than was their wont. They
seemed to spend more time that morn
ing in unfurling the old battle flags, in
the medals of honor which
decorated their breasts, for on that day
they had determined to march by the
house of their dying commander, to
give him a last marching salute. In the
streets the columns were forming; in
side the house on that bed from which
he was never to rise again, lay the
stricken chief. The hand which had
seized the surrendered sword of count
less thousands could scarcely return
the pressure of the friendly grasp. The
voice which had cheered on to triumph
ant victory the legions of Americas
manhood could no longer call for the
cooling draft which slaked the thirst
of a fevered tongue; and PROSTATE on
that bed of anguish lay the form which
in the new world had ridden at the
head of the conquering column, which
in the old world had been deemed wor-
thy to stand with head covered and feet

MODERN R1FLE-SHOOT1NG.
English Marksmen Maki6g Great E1.
- forts to Gain Supremacy
At the TARGETS.

The recent war in South Africa has
called attention to the enormous impor-
ance of accurate rife shooting, and has
led to the establishment in this country
of many new ranges where our marks
men will have opportunities for practice
which were nonexistent four years ago.
Especial interest will be attached to the
next meeting of the National Rife as
ISOLATION at Bisley, for the reason that .
team of Swiss marksmen, the finest rifle
shots in Europe, will compete with our
men, and every one will be anxious to
see how the Briton will fare when op-
posed to such splendid shots, says
Chambers Journal. The foreign ranges
are not so long as ours, 300 or 400 metres
generally representing the greatest dis
lance; but it must be remembered that
we have the high authority of Lord Rob-
erts that quick and accurate shooting at
from 300 to 500 yards, or even less, will
be the deciding factor in future warfare.
The Bisley meeting will also afford IN
interesting comparison between the
weapon used by the Swiss-which is
known as the Schmidt rife-and the
Lee-Metford, with which our men are at
present armed. The new rife, of which
so much is expected, will not be issued
in time for the Bisley campaign.

SHERIDAN'S RIDE.
Another Description of 1t in Prose
by . Man Who Was There
ut the Time.

George Phillips, New York police
man who does duty at the city hall, is
one of the last surviving eyewitnesses
of Sheridan's famous ride. He was
chief wagonmaster in Sheridan's army
in the valley campaign, and he has
given account of the affair. It is be-
lieved to be thoroughly accurate, and
it is certainly fercible and dramatic.
Mr.. Phillips says:
Gen. Phil had gone up to Washing
ton for something, don't know what,
leaving Gen. Wright in command. The
boys had little confidence in Wright,
but they loved Merritt and Custer.
Early and his rebs rushed our lines at
Cedar creek, 20 miles southwest OF
Winchester. Sheridan in Washington
heard of it. He went out by the rail-
road and crossed the Potomac at Stew
enson's landing. From there he bur-
ried on to Winchester, where he met
Wright, and from him obtained the
details of the fight. He left Wright in
Winchester and mounted the famous
black horse. The horse was black, all
right, 1T least he was when he started.
Il had parked, my wagons at one
side Of the turnpike to give the horses
. rest. We were on the run, no qaes-
ton about that. That we were scoot-
ing for Harper's Ferry and the Mary
land side of the Potomac, and the rebs
were popping at us at every jump.
With my wagons parked and the
horses feeding and resting by the turn
pike I was watching the boys run.
"Some were limping and staggering
along. They had thrown away their
guns and blankets and expected to be
killed or captured any minute. I never
saw anything else like it, the way the
boys were hoofing it to the Potomac.
The entire army was beaten and de-
moralized. There was no order and
every man was trying to save himself.
1t was q cloudy, gloomy day and all
of us felt pretty blue. Suddenly we
heard terrible shouting and yelling
up the turnpike, Winchester way, and
q minute later we cav Phil, on his
black horse, coming down the road.
20; say! Lordy, lordy! Talk about
rides! The horse had been black, but
he was then covered with white foam.
Phil was not waving any sword. He
had his old campaign hat in his hand.
He was covered with mud, but he kept
waving the old hat and yelling, "Come
back, boys. Come back! To the front,
boys! Follow mel" His staff was

She was undeniably pretty, with

ed another word that made me open
my eyes wide-''sweetheart!"
Isuppose she saw the startled look
