The Time to charus-

At the taking of Moscow, while the troops sat in their saddles un- der murderous fire, Murat, Napo- Icons dashing chief of cavalry, re- ceived a dispatch to which an an swer was required. Though his met tlesome horse was trembling, Murat laid the reins upon the horn of the saddle, took his notebook in one hand and a pencil in the other and began to write a response. Sudden ly a shell fell and exploded on the ground close by. The horse leaped into the air and swung wildly around. Murat simply, transferred the pencil to the hand that held the notebook, calmed the horse with the other hand and then went on writ ing his dispatch as if nothing had happened. A shout of admiration went up along the line. Murat saw that the enthusiasm aroused by his trifing act had created a favorable moment for a charge. He gave the order, and his men swept clear through the enemy's line.

A BULLET PROOF SHIRT.
Bismarck Wore It, Rolled an Assassin
 and Paid the Price.

In the early part of the year 1866, when the feeling between Austria and Prussia had become very bitter one, young Hungarian nobleman went to Berlin and de- manded an audience of Bismarck.
 He was known in his own country as a very eccentric parsonage. He had never paid a penny of taxes from the time that Hungary passed under the dominion of Austria, his lands having been left uncultivated to prevent his paying any,
 On being admitted to Bismarck's presence he proceeded at once to state his business. He had, he said, invented an undergarment in the form of a shirt which was not only bullet proof, but not unpleasant to wear
 Bismarck smiled incredulously, upon which the Hungarian re- marked that he had such a shirt on and that he would like Bismarck to test its powers of resistance. The chancellor looked at his visitor for a moment and concluded that he had not lunatie to deal with, and so, taking up his revolver, he fired five shots at the Hungarian. The latter stood smiling and unharmed, while the bullets struck him and fell to the ground.
 Then he showed the chancellor his invention. It was a shirt of many folds of some material sewed together, and it was the denseness and elasticity of the stuff that gave it such a power of resistance.
 He asked the chancellor to take one of the shirts, and when the lat ter inquired what was to be the price of it he said:
 'Beat the Austrians when you meet them"
 'We shall do that in any case" replied Bismarck.
 But he took the shirt and wore it.
 A few days afterward Bismarck was walking down that famous street of Berlin, Unter den Linden, when half crazed youth known as Ferdinand Cohen, or Blend, fired five shots at him at a distance of two or three paces only.
 Those who saw the shooting said that Bismarck appeared cool and quiet and even smiled while being shot at. Not one of the bullets harmed him. A month later he had kept his promise to the Hungarian the Austrians were beaten.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.
