This is one of the many instances in

a higher status than that with which
they started and have been promoted
from the slang dictionary to the diction-
airy of words of respectable and current
use.
"Bull's-eye is found in the dictionary
of The Canting Crew in 1900 and was
the vulgar word for the central ring of
the target used as a mark for archers,
which was colored differently from the
other rings. This may have arisen from
the ancient rounded shields, cut from
OK hide and strengthen with q spike or
central boss for this shield or target;
hence target was often used as a mark

manufactured the thickened part, where
the tube had been attached, was called

HOLDING THE LIGHTHOUSE.
BY NJ. QUAD.


As q sergeant in a federal infantry
regiment I had been detailed to take
charge of a lighthouse on the North
Carolina coast, and one evening, dur
ing the last year of the war, was
driven inside by seven confederates,
who had landed from a. sloop nearby,
and whose mission was to destroy the
light I was we'll provided with arms
and ammunition, and as they came
within shooting distance 1 opened fire
and wounded one of them. All of
them at once moved to the left to get
out of range, and five minutes later
there was a demand that 1 surrender.
In case of refusal they would burn me
out.
As the lower door was a stout one
and loop-holed for musketry, and as
there was no drift-stuff within a mile
of us to make a fire I was not greatly
worried over the appearance of the
men and their threats. I made the
door secure and then climbed to the
top of the lighthouse. and just as
got there the sloop from which the
soldiers had landed, and which had
been left to take care of itself was
f1oated OF the beach by the rising toe
and soon passed beyond recovery. The
situation now presented was a rather
curious one. 1 was a prisoner inside
the lighthouse, but the gang was
prisoner outside as we'll We were on
an island and there was no escape for
them without a boat.
