Knew the Beds.

In the gray light Of early morning a
traveller in Scotland faced the night
clerk resolutely. "You gave me the
worst bed in the inn!" he began, in
dignation in his voice and \eyes. If
you don't change me before tonight l
shall look up other lodgings"
There is no difference in the beds.
SIR" the clerk replied respectfully.
The traveller smiled ironically.

wouldn't mind giving me the room on

all night and vas still at it ten min

it. General Butler gave up the fight
and ordered Colonel Curtis to retire.
The colonel and his men remained near
the walls of the fort. He kept sending
back word that he could take it If his
superior would let him. He finally re-
tired after the fourth order directing
him to do so.
Upon the return Of the expedition
to Fort Monroe General Grant, hearing
Of the colonel's exploit, sent for him
and asked a Lot of information about
the seacoast fertilization, and the colo
mel was brevetted a brigadier gen.
eral. General Grant ordered that an
other attempt be made on the fort,
replacing General Butler with General
Terry. Another brigade was added to
the force.
General Curtis brigade advanced by
degrees, lying down fat and then run
ming forward ten OF fifteen yards. The
enemy got In one volley at them, which
was ineffective, and by that time the
attackers were just under the walls
Of the fort and below the plane Of fire.
The attackers scaled the walls and
took the bastion nearest the Cape Fear
river, and then began a stubborn fight
toward the s~eacoast end. driving the
garrison from one traverse to another.
Though wounded four times during
the day, General Curtis kept his COM
mand until sunset, when an exploding
shell sent a piece of metal against his
head, knocking him senseless and rob,
bing him of his left eye. He remained
unconscious five hours, and it was
thought that he was dead. His obit,
uary was written by the New York
newspaper correspondents. he was
commissioned brigadier general after
that exploit and some years later re
ceived a medal Of honor for his serv'
ices there.
