upon the site some cafe restaurant, or
maybe a BARRIERS shop?
Such is the romance shattering in
formation which comes hither in the
following words:
The ancient city of Verona is in a
thrill of ferment upon a question
which will appeal to the sympathy of
every reader of Shakespeare. Possess
ing among its buildings the ancient
home of the Capulets, whence issued,
as a white marble slab informs all
who care to read, the gentle Juliet
it may be termed in some sort the
Stratford of Italy. 1t is now a poor
sort of inn, with stables attached, and
the proprietor, weary OF not over
profitable possession, meditates demo1
ishing the whole. Pub1y feeling is
deeply stirred and the municipality is
being urged by petition to preserve
such an historic and literary associa-
tion.'
Now, if this were any house except
the house of Juliet, those who have
seen it would never venture to be en-
thusiastic concerning the spot itself.
There is no architectural value, no in
effaceable beauty of combination
about the edIfice to give it any intrin-
sic value. In such respects, indeed.
Verona has not, and never did have,
much to show to the world in memory
of those two lovers who did more to

dukes, and splendid artists of whose

it is among the most important, of the

Bold Bluff Saved Him.

The morning of Nov. 6, 1868, saw
Gen. Echols strongly intrenched on
the top of Droop Mountain, where the
day before he had joined Jackson's
force, bringing with him four regi-
nents, two battalions and battery,
which, when Joined to Jackson's force
gave the Confederates an overwhelm-
ing advantage in numbers as well as
position
General Avere1l, down in the valley,
commanded the Union troops, consist
ing of the Second, Third and Eighth
Virginia and the Fourteenth Pennsyl-
vania Cavalry, Col. Schoonmaker's
regiment.
The Confederates had what they
considered an impregnable position;
but no position was too strong for
the daring of Averel1s men. The
Fourteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry,
Battery and an independent battal-
ion crept up and occupied position to
the left while Battery G was on the
extreme right. The Second, Third and
Eighth advanced in front. The men
crept up the mountainside, through
briars, over rocks and treetops, until
within about fifteen yards of the crest
of the mountain, when the Confeder-
ates opened fire, and a sheet of flame
showed where their musketry was
pouring at terrific leaden hail into our
lines.
Over the breastworks the bluecoats
clambered, needless of the murderous
fire. Then it was every mans duty
to seek such shelter as could be found.

From Cavalry to Artillery.

1.-The Second Ohio cavalry" said the
Captain, was on the frontier in Sep
TENDER, 1862, when Gen. Blunt decid-
ed he wanted a battery. He detailed
thirteen men from each company OF
the Second cavalry and formed what
was afterward known as the Twenty
fifth Independent Ohio battery. The
men, receiving guns and equipment
went to active service at once, and the
adventures of the cavalrymen trans
formed into artillerymen came thick
and fast.
For example, Private James A
RUSSELL armed only with revolver
dropped out one day to look for water !
In going through a corn field he was
halted by two rebel scouts, who, with
rifles at a ready, demanded his sur
render Russell raised his revolve1
and all fired at once. The rebels
missed their mark, while Russell
blazed away until he had disabled
both his antagonists and received
their surrender. Then he procured
conveyance and took mis- two prison
ers into camp.
In one of it's long marches in the
Southwest the battery crossed the
Ozark mountains in midwinter and
was water-bound at the crossing OF
White river. The river was seventy
five feet wide, fifteen feet deep, and
the current was very rapid. There
was no boat large enough to carry
even one gun across and it was de
cided to make a raft or boat. The
wagon. boxes were dashed together
covered with tarpaulins, and rails
were used for decking. When the raft
was completed and loaded, the prob
lem was how to get line across.
Several plans were suggested and
tried. First man started across in
a dug-out- The boat was swamped
and the man was rescued with diff
ficulty. A man tried to ride a horse
across and failed. Then a line was
tied to a mules tail and an attempt
was made to drive the mule, riderless
across to the other side. The mule
landed on our side of the river and
being driven back, went off down
stream, line and all. At last Lieut.
]. L. Hadley attached a line to an
empty case-shot and fired it from one
of the guns.
THE shot finding Judgment on the
other side, a man swan across, aided
by the line, made it secure, and the
whole battery was ferried across
without the loss of a single article OF
equipment. Officers and men were 50
elated over the achievement that
when all were safely across they fired
a salute. The battery had many ups
and downs, but was finally recognized
as one of the regular Ohio organiza.
