BULLETS IN BATTLE.
They Play Queer Franks at Times on
Their Mission Of Death.

At the battle of Peach orchard.
when Mcclellan was making his
change of base. a Michigan infantry
man fell to the ground as if shot dead
and was left lying in a heap as the
regiment changed position. The bullet
that had hit him first struck the barrel
Of his gun, then glanced and struck off
a button of his coat, tore the watch out
Of his vest pocket and struck the man
just over the heart. where 1t was
stopped by song book in his shirt
pocket. He was unconscious for three
quarters of an hour, and it was full
month before the black and blue spot
disappeared.
At Ffttsburg Landing member of
the Twelfth Michigan infantry stopped
to give wounded man a drink from
his canteen. While In this act bullet
aimed at his breast struck the canteen
and buried itself in the leg of horse.
The canteen was split open and drop
ped to the ground in halves.
At the second battle of Bull Run
New York infantryman was passing
tobacco to comrade when q bullet
struck the plug. glanced off and buried
itself in a knapsack. The tobacco was
rolled up like ball of shavings and
carried hundred feet away. Directly
in the line Of the bullet was the head
of lieutenant, and had not the bullet
been DETECTED he would certainly have
been wounded or killed thereby. AS it
was, he had both eyes filed with to-
bacco dust and had to be led to the
rear.
At Brandy Station one Of Clusters
troopers had his left stirrup strap cut
away by grapeshot, which passed be-
tween his leg and the horse, blistering
the skin as if red hot iron had been
used. He discounted to ascertain the
extent of his injuries, and as he bent
! over a bullet knocked his hat off and
killed his horse.
In the same fight a trooper had suf
fered several days with toothache
In hand to hand conflict he received
a pistol ball in the right cheek. 1t
knocked out his aching tooth and
passed out through the left corner of
his mouth. taking along part of an
upper tooth The Joy of getting rid of
the toothache was so great that the
trooper could not be made to go to the
rear to have his wound dressed.-Ex-

reused the congregation to another
burst Of cheering, which was sup
pressed from the pulpit. Dr. Mclean
declared the Irish question at bottom
was a war against Protestantism and
an attempt to establish Roman Gothic
lie ascendency in ireland md to be-
gin the disintegration Of the British
empire by securing second parIia,
ment in Dublin. Ulstermen were
ready, he said, to accept almost any
program of social and political reform,
but they would not have home rale.
The service concluded with the sing
ing of the national anthem.
The scene around Ulster hall when
Sir Edward Carson proceeded to sign
the covenant was remarkable one.
The approach to the hall was lined by
bodyguard Of men wearing sashes
and armlets and carrying wooden
slaves. Other men were posted about
the grounds Of the hall, much as ii
they expected an attack from the
nationalists, who, however thus far
stood by as much pleased with the
semi-military display as the Ulster
men themselves.
In the center Of the marble-pillared
vestibule of the hall stood table
covered with crimson and drapef
with the Union Jack, while in the cor
ridors were long lines Of wooden
desks where copies Of the covenant
had been placed for signature.
