 They are right! Presently they come drifting in, four wearied soldiers, bear ing a wounded trooper on blanket. Benton is busy giving orders to the subaltern in charge and does not hear at first the words of the sergeant. ''He says he was carrying orders and his horse fell and rolled on him. His legs broken, I think, but he'd never have whimpered only he thought we were friends
 1eWhat'l we do with him if I'm to fall back?'' asks the lieutenant. "He's an officer"
 Benton turns to the dim group, slow ly bearing their burden with them.
 Better carry him to the grove,' he says. Take him where your wounded officers are.' Whereupon he in the blanket feebly pipes, Hello, Benton. Got a mouthfu1 of drink?"

CANNIBALS AWAITING
 A SHIPWREcK

At Il o'clock at night, while the cap.i tain and myself were engaged on deck in our usual game, the second officer, MT Mcfarland, came up excitedly and said, Captain Mather, there are break CTS ahead.' The islands had been vis- 1ble for day or so, and now were not far distant on either hand.
 We went to the bow, and looked and listened The roar of the breakers was as audible as that of the surf on the south shore of Long Island. The night was clear and the light of the moon and stars was brilliant. The wind had almost died away, the canvas was full spread; the sails hanging idly, occas sionally Tapping. We soon found that very strong current was setting in rapidly toward the breakers, and the wind wholly failed to help us counter it. We at once equipped two large boats with studding rails and hal yards for two lines, manned the boats with six oarsmen each and lowered them from the davits. They instantly took hold of the ship, and the twelve oars were vigorously pulled. With the utmost exertion of the Oarsmen for hours the ship only swung round, head on to the current, and the men could barely hold the ship steady.
 With the aid of the glass we saw thousands of natives at points on the shores, evidently waiting for our ap- proach and expecting disaster. Thes were reputed to be cannibals, and our chances were discussed with consid- erable interest. The captain, then in reduced flesh, assured the chief officer, (the chief officer) would be roasted and carved first and that he (the captain) would be kept awhile at least. till they could fatten him. We generously passed down good Jamaica rum to the oarsmen and encouraged every exertion. After several hours of toll and tension a breeze bless ed breeze, favoring breeze -sprang up, filled our sails, and enabled us to claw off, and slowly round the south ern islands of the group.

AN ILLINOIS BENEDICT
 RIDES FRISKY MULE.
His Friends Force Him to Keep Promise Made Them in His
 Bachelor Days.

Greenup, Ill.-William H. SShubert, cashier of the First national bank here, has always told his friends that he would die bachelor. He often re- peated the statement, and on one occa- sion he, said:
 Boys, if ever get married you can tie me on mule and ride me around the streets
 That was several years ago. and of late he had not made any boasts of celibacy. In fact. it had been noticed that he made frequent excursions to Mulberry Grove, and that the object of his visits was Miss Bessie Osborne, a very pretty girl. Recently they were married and the next night they ar rived here. Their coming was known in advance, and when they got off the train the first thing Bill saw was a huge crowd, a brass band, and large brunette mule. Bill quaiIed for min- ute, but the boys put the bride in a carriage and sent her to the house, and then Bill took his medicine and his mule, and paraded around town on the mule to the music of the band.

watching the scene are Doubleday's three battalions, all three not as strong as fair-sized regiment. Gibbon, chief of the second brigade, has led the Black Hats through the wood. then, ha1ting at the edge has bid them go in, their swathy little colonel waving his hand in glad acceptance of the trust-the last salute of his soldier life. Almost all of the blue division can be seen from the north by the men of the south; almost nothing of the gray division can be seen from the south by the men of the north. Gazing through their binoculars, the union commander and staff note not a sign of the foe, save these yenturesome batteries, the one here directly to the north, the others slowly trotting off to the northeast

 men of the "Stonewall'' spring to their feet, the little red battle flags are lifted on high, and forward goes the brigade, sweeping in three slender lines to the low crest in front, as their far-forward skirmishers leap from the grass and Volley their challenge at the coming

 Conditions.

Binghanton, N. Y.-Finding his dog mad and determined to learn all he could regarding the symptoms and de- velopment of canine hydrophobia, Frank Rowe shut himself in his kitchen with his dog and, with a poker, sat down to study the case.
 Fifteen years ago Rowe was bitten by a dog, from the result of which he has had considerable trouble since.
 MT. and Mrs. Rowe were. sitting at home this afternoon when their dog began to froth at the mouth. Rowe was certain that the dog had rabies. He drove it into the kitchen, shut his
