Carious Chance Shots. Not far from this town on the out skirts of a little village lives Col. -, an old Confederate veteran, who at the time of the scenes related here rode as captain at the head of a Company in the Second Virginia cav alry. He is known by all, loved by all and full of reminiscences which are very interesting, twice as much so . from bis own lips, but enough so by themselves to deserve print. He was talking some time ago and said, "I' ve noticed in the papers that war correspondents are always de scribing some chance shot or other that is remarkable for its curious an tics. Many such things happened in the sixties. So many that we didn't notice them particularly and yet a few impressed themselves upon my mem ory. "In my Company were two men both fine soldiers named Andrew B. Bevil and William Hawkins. Bevil was a Yankee, who originally lived in Camden, N. J. He came to Lynch burg, just before the war and when it broke out he joined the forces of the south and fought as valliantly as any mau that ever shouldered a gun. "He was a crack shot, in fact, one of the finest sharpshooters I ever saw. He was rather reckless in exposing himself, however, and consequently came to grief from it. It was at Louisa court house just before the battle of Trevillian's Station, where I was wounded. We were skirmish ing with some of Sheridan's cavalry and were having a rather hot time of it. I was lying behind an old rail pile with Hawkins stretched out by my side, while Bevil was enscounced in the chimney corner of an old log cabin ' that was standing near by. I took a good deal of interest in watching him. He would stick one eye behind the chimney, level his gun, fire and drop back and you could be just as certain that death followed that shot as you could be of the sun's rising. Finally, however a Yankee sharpshooter caught sight of that eye and the next time it appeared sent a fallet into it. The bullet literally tore his skull all to pieces, came out of his head, went skirmishing around and finally came out at his hip. We carried him back to the rear to be buried but finding some signs of life in him sent him to the hospital. About thirfcy minutes afterward Haw kins jumped up and caught hold of his thigh and yelled, "there's a sixty day furlough here, cap'n," a bullet coining through the,rail pile and pene trating his thigh, not breaking the bone, through, but inflicting au inno cent-looking flesh wound. I signed a paper giving him his furlough and rather more pleased than otherwise he limped back to the rear. "A few days afterward I went to the hospital and the chief surgeon met me and said, 'Look here, one of j*>ur men died last night.' 'Who?' said I. 'Hawkins,' he replied. 'Haw kins,' I exclaimed, 'why I thought you were talking about Bevil.' 'Oh,' said he, 'he's going to get well.' and so it turned out. It appears that the bul let that went through Hawkins' thigh carried a piece of flannel cloth down to the bone; this eventually produced gangrene which killed him. Bevil recovered and is still plying his trade of carpentering in his adopted home, Lynchburg. "Another rather remarkable inci dent occurred at Ashland the day be fore the fight at Yellow Tavern. A Yankee company charged straight down upon Col. Munford's regiment and as they did I took them in the flank. There was with Munford a sharpshooter named Foster and with me a sharpshooter named Bucker. There was a slight rivalry between these two and we never could decide who was the better shot, though I think if anything it rested a little with Bucker. In this charge the Yankee captain was mortally wounded and after it was all over I found Foster and Bucker disputing as to who killed him. "I told them it was no use disputing but as they persisted I held a sort of court to settle it. Foster was first to speak up. He was directly in front of the fellow and he said, 'if I shot him he is hit in the left breast, that's the spot I aimed at.' Bucker who was on his flank said, 'he came down the file carrying his sword aloft in his right arm, I shot him, he is wounded in his right side.' We removed the coat of the officer and found the two bullet holes, one in the left breast, the other in the right side, as either shot would have knocked him out of his saddle it is more than probable that both fellows fired at the same time, either shot would have been fatal. "At that time I lived in Piedmont, but thirty years afterward I moved to Ashland. Thinking one day about the above incident I began to look around and have now fully decided that I fought that day in a field that was thirty years afterward to be the front yard of my home." Here the old veteran who has turned his sword into a pruning hook of peace about as thoroughly a? any man could branched off into the discussion of the laws relating to commercial fertilizers and carnage and slaughter had to take a back seat.-T. W. J/., in Richmond Times. Coba Once English. The rich island of Cuba was once in the possession of England. In the spring of 1762 a fleet left Palmouth for the West Indies. George, the third Earl of Albermarle, com manded the expedition, while under him served his two brothers. On J une 6, 1762, the fleet cast anchor before Havana with an army of 11.000 men on board. At daybreak on the 7th the siege commenced. The art of waging war in thc hot climates is choose the cool season of the year. Unfortunately for the British Cuba was extremely hot and unhealthy in the month of June, and it was therefore the very worst season in which the siege of Havana could have been attempted. After Havana had fallen the Earl of Albemarle wrote home to the sec retary of state : "Weare now better acquainted with the climate than we were when the present expedition was undertaken and it is certain that the only season in the year for troops to act in is from the beginning of No vember to the latter end of March." The morro fort was the chief point of resistance; it guarded the entrance to the harbor of Havana. Supporting the guns of the fort were eleven Span ish men-of-war. Six of these carried seventy guns, one carried ninety-four and the remainder were sixty-gun ships. It took three weeks to get the siege guns landed and in posi tion. The Spaniards fought bravely and did great damage to the attacking fleet. By the middle of July the defense was practically at an end. On Aug. 12 articles of capitulation were signed and the victors proudly set up the British flag in Havana after a splen did fight for the richest city in the Indies. At the assault of Morro 706 Span iards were killed, wounded and taken prisoners. The Spanish loss alto gether was not less than 5,000 raen. The British losses were 560 duri .g the fight and by the end of October (the men had been dying oft' like flies from sickness owing to the climate) the death roll arose to the enormous number of 4708. Although Albemarle sent of a great number of survivors to New York to recruit their health the mortality was very great there, and he eventually found himself in command of only 2,000 men. It is interesting to note in passing that his estimate of the force necessary to hold Cuba was 6,000 men. Spain to-day has more than 100,000 men in Cuba. On Febuary 10, 1762, the treaty of Paris was concluded between Eng land, France and Spain, and Cuba passed again under Spanish rule, be ing given up almost for the asking. The Woes of a Hero. "War is pretty bad, of course," re marked a blue-coated man with a bandage under his coat, "but I de clare, in some ways, women are as bad as Spaniards-only they kill you with kindness instead of bullets. I came here from Santiago with this little wound in my hip, and really I can't tell you how I've suffered since from the women of my family. It is all right, of course ; this world would be a den of wild beasts without the love and sympathy of woman-but the dear creatures-especially those near est to us-generally overdo it. They didn't believe my message that I was only slightly wounded, so on my arri val I was met by my wife, her mother, two maiden aunts and a girl cousin, : all rallied from the four quarters of j Michigan and adjoining States to nurse me. "I don't need any nursing worth mentioning, but believe me, if I've drawn a long breath in two weeks without those five women jumping up and rushing at me, I will eat my army blanket. If I wink my wife says, 'What is it. dear?'-if I move one leg, my girl cousin springs at me with another pillow in her hand; during the night my two aunts wake me up to see if I want anything; and my mother-in-law-well, the dear soul hasn't sat down or been to bed since I came-to my knowledge. My wound is nearly healed, and that's ablessing, for if I don't get back to Cuba pretty soon I'm a ruined man. I can't stand such coddling-it will make a bloated tyrant out of me, so it will. A man needs war once in a while to get away from the woman-dear, loving woman -she would make a spineless infant out of him in no time.-Detroit. Free Press. - There is a young lady in San Francisco who hasn't spoken a word since the 17th of last February, and there isnt anything the matter with her vocal organs, and she isn't mad with anybody, either. She fell asleep on thatday and hasn't waked up yet. - Some time ago a little bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy fell into my hands, just at a time when my two-year-old boy was terribly afflicted. His bowels were beyond control. Wc had tried many remedies, to no purpose, but the little bottle of Colic, Cholera and Di arrhoea Remedy speedily cured him. William F. Jones. Oglcsby, Ga. For sale by Hill Orr Drug Co. Clever legal Work. "Our cleverest work," said the old lawyer, reminiscently, "is not always done in court." "No?" said the young man, inquir ingly. "Decidedly not," replied the old lawyer. ''Possibly you could give an illus tration," suggested the young man. "Undoubtedly I could," replied the old lawyer. "In fact, I was thinking of the case of an irascible old fellow who once kicked a servant out of the house." "For what reason ?" "Principally because he was angry, but I will have to confess that I have forgotten the exact occasion for his anger. I believe there was a differ ence of opinion as to the amount of wages the man was entitled to. At any rate, the testy old gentleman put himself in the wrong when he ejected the man with violence of both language and action, and the man was smart enough to know it. He hunted up a lawyer immediately and put the case in his hands, and then I was called in. The wrathy old fellow was mad clear through, and he was going to fight the case all the way up to the highest court and back again if neces sary. However, he was a personal friend of mine, and I didn't want to see him waste his money foolishly, so I advised him to compromise it. " 'Not if he offers to compromise for ten cents,' he asserted, vocifer ously. 'I'll fight this case clear to the limit ; no matter how much it costs.' "I argued with him, but it was no use. He'd pay me anything I wanted to fight the case, but he wouldn't pay the plaintiff a cent. I suppose I would have been justified under the circumstances in going ahead and let ting him run into a lot of expensive and useless litigation, but I didn't like to do it just the same. So I went to see the lawyer on the other side. He knew he had a good case, but he also knew that my client had lots of money and could make a prolonged and costly fight. Consequently he was inclined to be reasonable. He hunted up his client aud talked it over with him, and the client said he would compromise for $25 clear for himself. His lawyer made a reason able charge and I closed with them both on the spot and paid them. Then I went back-to my client, told him I had put up such a bluff tfeat he never would hear of the case again, turned in a bill that covered the cost of the settlement I had effected, and he paid it without a murmur. He sometimes speaks to me now of the clever work I did in that case, but he doesn't know how clever it really was and what a lot of cash it saved him." -Chicago Post. Only One Cowardly Soldier. "During all the fighting by the American troops in Cuba I have heard of but one case of a white-livered sol dier," said an officer who has lately returned to the United States to a Star reporter. "It is an illustration of the adage, 'Whosoever would save his life must lose,' though not exactly in the sense these words are used in the Bi ble. I will not name the regiment of which the soldier was a member, but at the moment of making the famous charge up San Juan hill this man evi dently determined that he would save himself. Near the regiment was a big pile of corrugated iron roofing. The soldier in the hurry of the charge got behind this corrugated iron, regarding it as the safest place in sight. He didn't know that that material had been placed there by the Spaniards as a range-finder, it being just two thou sand yards from their earthworks. After the battle the soldier was found in his retreat with at least fifty bullets in his body. He would not have been in one-hundredth part of the danger he placed himself in had he bravely gone up the hill amid the storm of bul lets. His corrugated iron shield was fairly riddled with lead, the thin iron being readily pierced."-Washington Star. - The Spanish objection to the American soldier is that he does not know when he is whipped, but keeps right on fighting when, by all the rules of war, he should be giving up, in the end coming out conquerer. This is not the first time this very grave charge has been made against the American soldier. Santa Anna, dur ing the Mexican war, made the same complaint. But we do not see how our soldier is to be broken of the habit. It seems to be grounded in him. - Italy is congratulating herself that there were only ?J20 duels fought last year in the whole country. Of these 103 had serious consequencies, though only one duellist was killed outright. - Dr' J. I. Terry, of Trimble, Ten., in speaking of Chamberlains's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, says : "It has almost become a necessity in this vicinity." This is thc best rem edy in the world for colic, cholera mor bus, dysentery and diarrhoea, and is recognized as a necessity wherever its great worth and merit become known. No other remedy is so prompt or effect ua], or so pleasant to take. Sold by Hill Orr Drug Co. As a World Power. The most momentus event of the century, since the peace of 1815 was concluded, seems likely to be the en trance of a seventh great power in the field. The United States are evident ly determined to take their place as an Asiatic, an insular and oceanic, and practically a European power. They can do so only by becoming a great naval and a considerable military power. It is in vain to appeal to the traditional maxims of Washington and thc statesmen who followed him -maxims which have been repeated and are still repeated in a rather me chanical way. The principle of organ izing a New World, almost indepen dent, as it were, of the Old, and of avoiding entanglement in the complex ities of European policy, was intelligi ble in the days when steam had not bridled thc ocean and electricity had not made communication instantane ous, and the vast unsettled districts of America afforded a more than ade quate scope for American enterprise and industry. Now it is an anachron ism. The United States are, so far as time and facility of communication are concerned, practically as near to some parts of Europe as eastern and west ern Europe are to each other, and they are nearer to the eastern Archipeligo, in which apparently they seek to ob tain a footing, than the European states which already hold possession there. In competing with other states for the commerce of the world, they will need stations in which their trading ships can take refuge, and can supply themselves with coal, and provision themselves. They will further need cruisers to protect their commerce and to guarantee the safety of the seas. Their vast resources will make the burden of expenditure light upon them. An army almost on the European scale might be supported on the sums an nually wasted on profligate pensions that is, in corruption to an extent be yond contemporary example, even his toric precedent.-London World.

A tramp applied for food at the house of a suburban agriculturist re cently, and while he was eating the rations that had been furnished at his solicitation, he was asked: "Why do you not go to work?" "I have looked long for a place that would suit me," he replied, "but have never found it." "Is there not plenty of work at farming?" asked the interrogator. "Oh, yes," said the tramp, "plenty of it; but you see, sir, I want to find a vineyard where a man who goes in at thc eleventh hour is the first to come out and draw a full day's wages, in the olden times they dealt fairly by a mao. That is the New Testament treatment, and that is what I am looking for." At the close of his meal he started again in pursuit of that coveted agri cultural opportunity.
