Should any resident of Riverside
drive arise sufficiently early to attend
the "milkmen's matinee he may see
a beautiful black horse with finely
drawn lines and full red Lostrils
prancing up and down in front of a
cart which was once white.
This particular horse was. not many
days ago., the property of a railroad
manager we h.ay call Wheels. Mr.,
Wheels Is such a lover of good horses
and of horseback riding that 1t af-
fects his entire existence. During the
latter part of the Summer the genial
manager and other officials went to
Dakota to look over the territory
ahead of the new Pierre extension. AS
usual, Mr.. Wheels had his eye open
for a fancy sample of horseilesh, and
Bronco Jack, of Deadwood, saw him
coming.
One fine morning in Pierre, while
the general manager was taking his
morning run on the back of a livery
stable horse, he saw some. hing COM
ing down the street that held his at
tention. II was as handsome and
spirited q horse as he had ever seen,
and he was ridden by a genuine cow
boy, who knew how TO ride. An eX-
clamation of delight escaped the gen.
eral manager as the Westerner and
his mount swept past him in as fine
a s~ingle-footing exhibition as. the rail.
road man had ever seen. Bronco
Jack heard the general managers eX.
clamation, but permitted his horse to
go some distance before he gracefully
turned him without checking speed,
changed his gait, and swung back at
full canter to the point where Mr..
Wheels was standing.
When the railroad man asked the
cowboy what he would take and
Bronco Jack said, "A century and a
half" Mr.. Wheels closed with him for
fear he would back out. He did not
even wait TO try the horse, so anxious
was he 10 annex him to his stable.
The Western wonder arrived dead
head" from Pierre in good condition.
At the club, at home, in season and
out, Mr.. Wheels sang the praises OF
his new possession. AS soon as the
horse was in the stable a select coterie
of prominent citizens went over to the
Wheels stable TO look him over.
In due time a morning riding party
was arranged. When his guests were
mounted Mr.. Wheels started to swing
into the saddle. He missed By about
a foot, however, as something had
swung before he did, and there stood
the new horse facing him, with head
down and meek and lowly look in his

of a battering ram. Totally unpre-
pared for such a denouement, Mr..
Wheels shot into the air, and when
he came down he found himself in
the top of a young maple tree, from
which he was d~isentangled with some
difficulty. When he reached the
ground there stood his black beauty
not far away with detected mien and
sad eyes gazing into his.

exasperated owner. "Ill teach you

They told how they had got word
from the negroes that a Union army
was coming north from Savannah, and
that they were hiding and waiting to
get to it. When lights from campfires
showed up in the south it was u ques-

Union fires or those of some retreating
army of the South, and the negroes
could not tell them TO suah.' They
concluded to take a chance on the pick

HonOrs Enough for All.

Editor National Tribune: 1 read in
The National Tribune an article from
ID. NJ. Allen, Co. +, 45th ILL.,, in which
he claims his regiment was the first to
march into Ficksburg. He says il ar
rived at the Court House at IL o'clock
and 80 minutes. Now. / want to say
to Comrade Allen that we left our camp
at 10 o'clock and were in Vicksburg
before IL o'clock, and we We're Quinby's
Division, and the 4th MINI. was in our
division. If my memory serves me
right it was a headquarters flag that
went up on the Court House. and not
a regimental flag. Did the 45th III. do
all the lighting in the Crater? Where
were the 56th III. and the 18th Iowa?
Were not they in the Crater on the
night of June 25? Now, Comrade AL
len, don't claim everything. There were

Five Hours Under Fire.

Editor National Tribune: / wonder II
the comrade Of Co. I, 4th Mimi. who
was sent out with me to keep Frenchs
Division from getting into the natural
rifie-pits that had been formed at the
right and behind the fort at Allatoona,
Ga. Oct. 5, 1864, is still alive? We did
remarkably well in keeping those Mis-
sissippi regiments from getting into the
gully. Quite a number of them were
in. and they were shooting at us for
five hours and did not hit us. Oh. but
how the bullets did fly about US from all
directions. / cannot help blaming the
officer who placed US there. The force
should have been two companies in
stead of two men. Those five hours
were busy ones. for we held our ground
and fought without any rest. Well,

you would send me few lines. / think

out from their hiding places, and again
sang their patriotic songs to our pur-
suing comrades.
And now, Mr.. Editor and comrades
don't you think that those girls deserve
pension from Uncle Sam? 1 don't
suppose one of them ever thought or
dreamed of pension until suggested by
myself, and in consideration of what
they have done the Government should
place all their names on The pension
roll, asking only for proof that they
sang upon that occasion.
They are no longer young girls, with
the bright, rosy hopes of youth before
them, and only about 35 or 40 of them
still on this side of the river, so the
comrades can judge what old Time has
been doing for them.

distinction, and il l have the least de-

ones. They quietly repulsed the rebs
twice, and the third time they came up
they sent them flying into Funkstown.'
But TO return to those singing girls
Tor a minute or two. l can prove that
there were more than so school girls
of Gettysburg, who sang their beautiful,
patriotic songs to the boys who wore
the blue, both before and after the
battle-yes, and during the battle, for
the cannon was roaring as we marched
past the Seminary where those girls
were singing.
Il defy any person on the face of the
earth to prove that this statement is not
true in every particular. No, those girls
did not sing while the rebs were in the
town, and l thank God that they did
not. They were not the kind that sang
TO rebels, but understand that the girls
OF Williamsport did sing to the rebs;
