voted boy was urged by others and the writer to retire. Again he said he would go where father went The writer stopped long enough to seize the boy and throw him to the rear few feet, and there we got down to solid business for about two hours, and lost sight of him until the end of that time His father. however, received his eeath wounds that day, and there after the spirited boy was filled with sorrow. Later on. near Culpeper Cour; House, Black prevented stampede of our forces by placing his horse mid way of the road and firing shot after shot into the head of the retreating column. A shell burst. killing his horse, wounding the lad in one wrist, and the horse falling upon him broke the ether arm. Later on the hero of our tale could be seen upon the streets of Washington city with both arms in slings. Much more could be written concerning this lad that would interest the patriotic people of this day, but time and space forbid.

Three New York Robbers Used Cab
 to Carry Loot.
 NEW YORK, Oct 9.-''Rafies" of fiction robs in evening clothes. John Mulcaire, Fred Martin and Stephen Haven in real life have been riding in a cab to do their robbing. It's very '.gentlemanly" plan besides. A cab is useful to carry of heavy pieces of silverware. For greater safety Mar tin has been driving the burglarious cab. After a robbery Mulcaire and Haven would lean back in the cab with the loot and calmly order:
 'HTo Berkman's or Levy's. Drive on, cabby"
 Berkman and Levy, jewellers, are prisoners too The detectives are guarding the five prisoners as carefully as a miser guards his gold
 The detectives say Mulcaire. alias William Hall, alias William Call, has confessed to committing 400 burgaries, most of them in the Harlem district, in the past two years. Mulcaire, a handsome fellow, wore a becoming, ex- pensive fall suit and light fedora hat.
 sThe detectives tell me you confess to 400 burglaries," said Magistrate Crane to Mulcaire.
 Well, probably not so many as that, coolly answered ''the burglar of the cab" smile playing around his mouth. Maybe ten or fifteen less"

ROLLS OF WALLPAPER.
They Are Not All Made of One Length as Is the General Sup
 position.

Most persons have an idea that all pieces of wall paper are necessarily of enc length" remarked a wall paper man, according to the Philadelphia Record.
 Sometimes when receive orders from distance I wonder just what the patron is figuring on. He may gel enough to paper two rooms and he may get only half enough-some figure over economically and some over gen. erously.
 "Our domestic papers run eight yards to the piece. Those from France and Germany measure nine yards, while the English make their rolls So lengthy that they contain quite F yards. Then, of course, there's the re- peat. On some of the new papers with the smallest figures this is next to nothing. and on some others. notably thatl ong-tailed bird pattern, If bit over the figure Is required for each length 1t means a loss of five feet on every strip put on the wall"

A SHORT RED SHIRT.
Amusing Incident of President Lin. coln's Midnight Reception
 of a Courier.

Schuyler Hamilton, major general oi volunteers in the United States army contributes to the voluminous war his. tory this amusing anecdote of Presi dent Lincoln:
 A telegram was received by Gen Scott announcing the victory of tn, union army under Little Mack" anc Rosy" at Rich Mountain, w. Va. July II. 1S61 As military secre. taTy, I had previously, under tn. commands of Gen. Scott. disturbee tine president five times that night When I knocked for the sixth tims at the door of the presidents bee chamber, he appeared, exhibiting some little vexaton, in a red fanne shirt, which. out of modesty, he wal holding down in front. He said:
 Colonel, do you ever sleepw The reply was:
 "Mr- President, was about to asi you the same question"
 He said:
 T have not slept much since this civil war began"
 The rejoinder was:
 Indeed. Mir. President. regret tt have to disturb you SO often" q had to do it several times almost every night; but you know, Mir. President am under authority. and must obey Gen. Scott's orders without question.
 Oh, colonel. understand that very well. have been disturbed at every hour of the night tonight, and Mrs Lincoln, also" (It was then about foul a. m) "She is now asleep, and hated to disturb her, but she has got my dressing-gown twisted around her feet so I have had to come out in my red shirt. Either I have grown too long or the shirt has grown too short. :. know not which"
 But said: "Mr President, the tele gram I hold in my hand will give yor the greatest pleasure; 1t is the an. nouneement of the first victory of tns union army"
 But, colonel, what am to do?"
 oh, MT. President. I think we can manage that. If you will allow me for once i'll my life to turn my back on the president of the United States, you can let go, and can pass the tels gram over my shoulder"
 So so. colonel" said he.
 faced about. passed the telegram over my shoulder. He read it, pom dered over it. read it aloud
 Colonel" he asked, 'fs there any. thing in corroboration of this tele- gram?''
 A great deal. MT. President" was the reply.
 Colonel" and there was happy rhythm in his voice, ripple of merri- ment and satisfaction, colonel, if you will come to me every night and every hour of every night with just such telegrams as this I will come out, not only in my shirt, but without any shi-' al all. Tell Gen. Scott so" He handed me back the telegram over my shoulder, to be duly placed on file, and bade me goodnight. The door closed, and so closes one of the many characteristic incidents in the life of the martyr president in which had the honor to be officially par ticipant.

A BOY HERO.
Young Drummer of the Civil War Who Was Made of the Right
 Kind of Stuff.


 A Philadelphia boy George Black by name. was less than 12 years of age at date of enlistment and muster into serv- ice as a musician, in the fall of 1861, writes William c. Reiff, to the Nation al Tribune. His father, George W. Black, was first lieutenant of my com pany, H, Ninety-first Pennsylvania. Our division GA. A. Humphrey's) of the Fifth corps made the final charge against Marye's Heights, Frecericks- burg, Va. on Saturday evening, De- cember 13, 1862.
 Young Black insisted upon keeping in the front line and as near his father as the conditions allowed. When rel monstrated with by his company fel- lows to retire, he responded that wher- ever his father went he would go, too. This he did, though his tent-mate, Jim Thompson, took hold of the little fel- low and threw him to the rear of the line; yet Black still pushed on, and went as far as the division as body advanced. Out of less than 300 men in this command over 100 lay upon
