A WAR TRAGEDY.
Pathetic Incident as the Siege Of Port

Pathetic Incident at the Siege Of Port
Hudson.
At the siege at Port Hudson, La.,
there was one gun commanded by AZ
phonso Dubreuil. He was a young
sugar planter who had opposed seces.
sion, but maintained that if louisiana
seeded he would go with his stats.
Or. Chatrand, his neighbor, was a yio-
lent secessionist, and Dubreuil and the
doctors daughter Amelia were lovers.
Louisiana seeded Alphonso raised a
company and proved so brave a Con-
federate that the doctor, who had OPP
posed his daughters marriage. readily
consented, and the pair were married.
His bride was accorded special per-
mission to go into the bomb proofs Of
the fort, where in comparative safety
she could be near her husband. There
she saw him operating his enormous
gun, but her heart was torn with fear
for his safety. Suddenly she became
excited by the noise Of firing and, rush
ing out from her place of safety, was
struck by a piece Of shell and fell back
lifeless. Dubreuil ran to her side, saw
death in her face and went back brave
II to his gun.
The next morning was beautiful, and
the sun shone glorionsly. There was
cessation of hostiliHes that the dead
might be buried. Thus engaged, re-
quest came from the enemy to allow
the body of young lady to pass
through our lines. 1t was granted.
The little cortege came, preceded by a
military band playing a mournful
dirge, and halted at the outpost. The
old musket box used as bier was ac-
companied by two ladies and several
officers. One Of the latter, handsome
young fellow with long hair, walked
calmly and slowly, but his face be-
trayed the greatest grief. A detail Of
Confederate privates acted as pallbear-
ers. Our men uncovered their heads.
| All were blindfolded and led through
our lines to the steamboat. They bade
a last adieu to the dead bride and re-
turned blindfolded. ":sE
