ramrod about half down , when I saw a
grand pyrotechnic display and felt my
arms straighten out. I lay unconscious
n few minutes , tlion got up and started
to the roar. The light was at its hottest
and the bullets sounded like a swarm of
bees. The hollow stump through which
the ball came that strpuk mo hud been

were cutting the bushes all around mo
like a mighty hail storm. It seemed
impossible that any human creature
could stand upright a moment without

watched the bullets chip the rooks and
tear the bushes , but that another of
them would touch mo never occurred to

recalled Iho epigram that when the

An Incident In Mlilooo.tn.
Captain H. D. Smith , U. S. N. . re
counts a touching incident of the war in
the current St. Nicholas :
Early ono morning the mate was
startled by the cry from nloft , "Black
smoUo ahead , sirA ! big steamer stand
ing to the southward. "
The captain was called , and in a trice
bounced on dock , where , applying the
glass to hid eye , ho took a long look at
the stranger who had pushed so sudden
ly out of the or.rly mist hanging low
upon the horizon.
Whatever her character , wo had but
little chance of escape , if she had rilled
guns. Many a glance of apprehension
was directed toward the somber hull
and pair of sloping smokestacks with
the twisting smoke trending far astern.
"Show him our colors , elrl Bond on
the ensign ; wo may as well bo hung for
a ahcop as a lamb. If that follow is a
rebel , the sooner we know ttthobottor ! "
oxclaimcd the captain somewhat ox-
oitedly to the mato.
It was close upon aix bolls (7 ( o'clocit )
when the steamer rovonlod her nation
ality.Wo
Wo fairly yelled as the blood red
cross of St. George danced up aloft from
the signal-halyards. , Slio was evidently
a troop-ship bound for the capo , a trlflo
out of her coui-bo , but wo did not Btop to
consider that.
. She was too.fur distant to sponk , but
in obedience to a gesturu from the cap
tain , thu mate emptied a bag of gaily
colored signals on duck , and the boys
were called aft to man the halyards and
lend a hand to bond on the mngic Hags.
Upward Iluttorod the partly-colored bits
of bunting , glasses , were leveled , and
breathless oxpoclancy marked the sun
burnt features of the clipper's crow , for
the inquiry Hying from our mizzen royal- ,
miist was , "What news of the American
warV"
Tlio Hash of foam cast up by the huge
propeller greeted our straining vision ,
the great steamer glided onward , but no
responsive signals gladdened the anxious
hearts of those yearning to hear news
from homo.
With a passionate oxclnmntlon of
disappointment the captain closed the
joints of his long glass with a auvngo
snap , saying as ho turned away , lIIo )
luisirt our code. It's no USD. "
"Lookat that ! " .suddenly , oxclalmod
the mato/polntlncr. "What Is ho going
todoV"
"Ho is coining about , " shouted the
cnpUin , h'is bronzed'features fairly pjil-
ing. "Can It bo possible Ho has played
us a trick , and is the Alabama. ? Stand
by , ull hands , for "
A deep blast of the steam whlstla
rumbled over the Hashing waters , fol-
loxvod' ' by n number of quick tools ns thu
steamer ranged to Icoward ; then an ox-
PIIIIPO of white canvas was lowered eVer
, the side.
GluHscs were diroctpd upon that hi Ight
puttih amidships , upon which dark lines
could bo dlscornnd with the naked oyo.
The glass showed those were letters.
"I have It ! " shnutod the captain , leap
ing excitedly Into the rigging. "Spread
the news foco and aft ! It says : 'Tho
American conlltct is overt Duvlp a
fugitive' and. what's thutV Heavens ,
no yea 'Lincoln i killed ! '
"Strike the colors half-mast , sir , " con
tinued the captain to the mate. In asub-
uuod tone. Then he added : "Hoist the
nlgnul. Thank you.1 to the steamer. "
At that moment tno rich , full tones of
a regimental band were wafted ucrous
the heaving swells , nnd many nn eye
glistened wilJtlWhotionns the well-known
strains of "fJSuJJolumbia" were faintly
heard. TliOi'AtoVmor slowly fell off and
resumed "hot course , whllo , ns If actuated
by ono Impuiyt ) , ' ylfleora and mon sprang
Into the woat > uurrrlgglng , giving "throe
times three and waving their hats In re
turn for the fcNiunoss .of the courteous
Englishmen , /rh.0 stara tind stripes were
dipped throe times , the lioarso whlstlo
rang out In r'otrrVn , the "motcor Hair"
slowly and mu.jq.ttically ralurnod the sa
lute , and tho'yreotlng'ln ' mldocoau was
over. , .
"Tho commntf < ) or of that er.if t is a
gontlomnn ovqry inch of him ! " was Iho
admiring roiHAvk of the mate as ho
glanced astern 'tit the fast fading troop
ship.

Archibald Forbes , the noted war. cor
respondent , writes in the North Ameri
can Review ! ' . .

Hooker , soroiioly remaining there , was

upper Potomac , Hooker made the wild
proposition Unit ho should bo allowed to
march on to Richmond , a project which
might have resulted in the fulfillment
of Leo's grim jest about "swapping

George Munroe of the police depart

riding on a street car , engaged in con
versation upon politics with a stranger ,
in the course orAvhich the sergeant an
nounced himself "as a Harrison man.
"And why ? " asked the stranger.
"Because I fought under Harrison , "
was the reply.
"Wore you In the Atlanta campaign ,
and do vou remember the battle of E ra
Church ? ' ' askod''ttji9' stranger with con
siderable earnestness.
"I was and 1 do ; the engagement of ray
regiment the 104th Ohio Volunteer In

"Well , I own that Dattlofiold now ; my

minnio-balls which , ! recently unearthed

The sergeant took the profforca bul

The grout increase In the use of the

concern to the Government Post Ofllco ,
which it Is fearful that the spread of

ground for the nlarm Is certain , as
last year the telephone companies in
Great BrlUiin distributed 1(10,000,000 (
messages against a total of 00,000,000

An outcome of the increasing use of
electrical boating Is the electrical
metal twisting machine. This Is used
in production of twisted motnl bars
which are largely utilized for stair rods ,
foncoplckots , olllco partitions , eleva
tors and ether ornamental work. It IB
found that where Iho oloctrlo current
Is employed for boating bar shaped
blanks , the metal hoila : from the inter
ior instead of from the exterior , ns in
the ordinary .blacksmith's forgo ; nlso
that there are no gases introduced into
the metal when It Is electrically heated ,
and consequently when the blank Is
twisted no scale Is formed and the metal
Is loft cloun nnd free from blemishes.
