THE RETREAT FROM MONS.
An Army That Walked in Its
Sleep. -

In an article, "Sleep for the Sleep
less," in the current Worlds Work,
the author quotes an eminent sur
geon, who made study of sleep in
the French army as follows:
."In the retreat from Mons to the
Marne we have an extraordinary hu-
man experiment, in which several
hundred thousand men secured little
sleep during nine days, and in addi-
ton made forced marches and fought
one of the greatest battles in history.
How, then, did these men survive
nine days apparently without oppor-
tunity for sleep? They did an extra
ordinary thing-they slept while they
marched! Sheer fatigue slowed down
their pace to rate that would per-
nit them to sleep while walking.
When they halted they fell asleep.
They slept in water, and on rough
ground, when suffering the pangs of
hunger and thirst, and even when
severely wounded. They cared not
for capture, not even for death, if
only they could sleep.
"The UNMARRIED testimony of the
soldiers was that every one at times
slept on the march. They passed
through villages asleep. When sleep
deepened and they began to reel, they
were wakened by comrades. They
slept in water, on stones, in brush,
or in the middle of the road as if they
had suddenly fallen in death. With
the even on-coming lines of the ene-
my no man was safe who dropped out
of the ranks, for no matter on what
pretext he fell out, sleep conquered
him. Asleep many were captured.
That the artillerymen slept on horse
back was evidenced by the fact that
every man lost his cap"

Auntie Was Old.

In the days of Barnum an old
'sauntie" lived in East Tennessee
who was reputed to be of great age,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. Like
all of the kind, she was extremely
proud of the distinction, and never
underestimated her age in the least.
She had outgrown that weakness de-
cades past.
Barnum heard of her, and con-
Guiding that if she was as old as
rumor made her she would be a val
liable acquisition to his show, ne
sent down to make an IN
vestigation. She caught the dlrec-
ton of the wind very promptly, and
was prepared for any test question
that might be asked. Gradually the
agent led up to the crucial inter
rogatory, and at last said: "Aunty,
do you remember George Washing
: TONI"
Does 1 remember George Wash
ington? Why, laws-a-massey, mis-
tah,< reckon I does. 1 orter orient
1? For I done nussed him. We

about the revolutionary war;
"G'way, chile! Yes, indeed,
does honey. stood dar lots er
times an seen de bullets fyin' aroun'
thicker'n rain drops"
"Yes-well, how about the fall OF
the Roman empire? Do you recol-
lect anything about that?''
The old woman took a good long
breath. In fact, it amounted to a
sigh. She reflected for a few mo-
ments, and said:
DE fact is, honey, I was purity
young den an l don't have a very
exict recommenbrance bout dat; but
/ does member, now dat you speaks
of hit, dat did heah de white folks

and it was one disastrous to the feel

Nothing Like Latin.

Andrew Jackson was once making
a stump speech out west, in a small
village. Just as he was concluding,
Amos Kendall, who sat behind him,
whispered:
'Tip 'em a little Latin, general.
They won't be satisfied without it.
The man of iron will, instantly
thought of a few phrases he knew
and in a voice of thunder wound up
his speech by exclaiming:
"E pluribus unum!-sine quo
non!-ne plus ultra! -multum in
parvo!"
The effect was tremendous, and
the shouts could be heard for miles.

of cowardice.
Therefore the talk of the younger,
more progressive, conservative men
in charge of the States affairs, OF
making duelling a punishable crime,
aroused strenuous opposition from
the older generation, and the ques-
ton was discussed pro and con,
across many a Southern table.
Before the law became fact, how
ever, in 70 or 80, perhaps, two of
South Caroilna's most respected sons,
who had served their four long years
in the war, respectfully as colonel
and major, became involved in a po-
litical quarrel.
Aspersions were made against the
honor of each, the lie was passed,
this being the very crowning of all
insults to both men. And these two
representatives of an honored fam
lily, these brave. gallant sons of the
Old South. Colonel Cash and Major
Shannon. of Camden, agreed to wipe
out the stain Of insult by duel; each
feeling that it was right and just to
fight as they thought best, believing
that no man had a right to interfere
in his personal affairs, or that any
law could be made elastic enough to
cover the Field of Honor"

ability, which necessitated his being
carried to the court room, fought for
and cleared his friend, Colonel Cash
because OF the principles that he
had held to be his right.
Amid the cheers Of Col. Cash's s
friends, Major Spain was taken faint
ing from his great effort, to the home
from which he was soon afterwards
carried to his last resting place, near
the scene of his greatest legal tri-
umph.
The next session of the legislature
put a ban upon duelling and made it
punishable by law, as was any other
murder case. This was the last big
duel in South Carolina, perhaps in
the entire South.-Charlotte Obsery-

Last Notable Duel.

The following from the Hon. w. F.
Stevenson to the editor of the Char
lotte Observer will possibly be read
with interest by many:
Noting your article by your staff
correspondent, "The Last Duel in
South Carolina" as it is an instance
of more to correct the writer his
torically, at least in the latter part.
He speaks of Colonel Cash being
defended and cleared by his lifelong
friend, Maj. Albertus Spain. The
statement that he was the States
most noted lawyer, I 10 not question.
His reputation abides even to this
day, but the record shows that he
was defended by Major Spain and by
his lifelong friend and neighbor and
special counsel, Gen. W. L. T. Prince,
of Cheraw, and at the trial at which
Major Spain appeared he was not
cleared, but there was mistrial. The
efforts in the case were such that
Major Spain, before the case was
tried again, was dead. The defense
was then conducted by Gen. w. L. T.
Prince, assisted by Mr.. R. C.. Watts,
then a young lawyer, and the son-in-
law of Colonel Cash, and he was &C
quilted at the second trial.
Mr.. Watts is today an associate
justice of the supreme court of South
Carolina, having served for many
years on the circuit bench, and hav-
ing been promoted five years ago to
the supreme bench.
The other error is the statement OF
the source out of which the unfor-
tunate duel arose. The statement is
made that Colonel Cash and Major
Shannon became involved in a po-
litical quarrel. This is an entire mis-
take. Major Shannon, with others,
was representing a client in law
suit, who in the course of his plead
ings charged that judgment belong
ing to Mrs. Cash against her brother,
Mr.. Robert G.. Ellerbe, was fraudu-
lent. Colonel Cash became infuriat-
ed at the charge Of fraud made
against his wife and the duel grew
out of his resentment of that charge
in the pleadings in the case of
Weinges VS.. Cash, found IN 15 S. c.
Sup. CT. Rep. page A.
In justice to all parties l will say
that Major Shannon was merely rep
resenting a client and was not lead
ing counsel when the charge of fraud
was made, but the heat engendered
brought about the duel. The circuit
Judge, Gen. Joseph Brevard kershaw
who lived in the same town with Ma
jor Shannon, tried the case after
wards and held that there was no
ground for the charge of fraud, and
on appeal, the supreme court OF
South Carolina, Mr.. Chief Justice

servative friends availed naught-
the tears and prayers Of their faml-
lies were futile. Grimly determined
to follow the course that they
thought and believed to-be right, and
planting their feet in 1.-The footsteps
on the sands of time,' these two
hot-headed, high-principled, honored
men, met at sunset.
Out in an old field, bordered by
the sentinel pines, with the soft wind
murmuring a requiem through their
plumed heads-under the royal pur-.
pie and crimson painted by Master
hand on the western sky, with the
very air, breathing peace, good will
to men, while il the eastern sky
cleaning many colored like Jacobs
coat, was the arch of Gods promised
protection to man. Everything was
at rest but the turmoil seething in
the breasts of the men, and under the
brooding peace of Mother Natures
wing, the 80 PAGES were stepped off:
the seconds reluctantly took pistols
from the cases, and handed them
primed and cooked to their prlncl-
pals.
With gray heads held high, these
two old warriors grimly turned back
to back, and with cool determination
walked to their allotted places. Then
at the word Ready" whirled and
each leveled the pistol at his one
time friend, but now become dead
ly enemy. These two brave men who
had on many a battle field, faced to-
gether the belching flame of cannon,
the fretful whine of the minnie balls,
stood as though carved from marble.
Lips sternly set, eyes level, hands
steady, deadly determination in their
hearts-while the soft fingers of the
evening breeze, gently ruff1ed their
gray hair.
At the word Fire." both pistols
spat their deadly missles-Major
Shannon dropped his pistol, stood for
a moment with face upturned to the
quiet star, just peeping through the
curtain of eventide; then reeled and
pitched forward to the earth, his life
blood slowly turning to crimson the
white sand that pillowed his con-
quered head.
All! The pity of it all, the useless
sacrifice of a useful life. The heart
ache, the needless pain caused to two
families by their mistaken idea of
avenging their honor. But was the
sacrifice useless? For from this duel
sprang in full strength the law, for
ever abolishing just such things as
this regretable occurrence.
Colonel Cash gave himself up, but
stayed out on bail. Public sentiment
had become too strong against duel
ing for this event to pass unnotlced
by the law; from centre to circum-
ference the State was shaken by a
wide diversity of opinion many for
the newer ideas of right, others again
holding that their fathers code of
honor could not be wrong.
Colonel Cash, however, preferred a
trial, and engaged for his counsel,
his life long friend, Maj. Albertus
Spain, the States most noted lawyer,
who never took case against mur-
derer, a gallant Confederate officer,
signer of the act of secession, and
who passed up the chance to sit on
the supreme bench, rather than to be
disloyal to his Lost Cause, and take
the oath of reconstruction.
The case came to trial, and against
brilliant State attorney and other
notable counsel engaged for the case,
