Tbe Confederate Sharpshooters Cheer
injf a Brave Federal at Fredericks
burg. Frank H. Foote In Phlla. Weekly Times.
The following incident of tbe battle
of Fredericksburg is well tmthentica
ted. It may -prove that, though the
North and South were at wat; a spirit
of chivalry did exist among the South
era soldiers. . On the 15th day of De
cember, 1862, the Sixteenth Regiment
auix tnico wuipnnins or tne oecond
Battalion of Featherstone's Mississippi
Brigade were sent to the front to re
lieve a brigade posted at the foot of,
Marye's Heights, to the left of the
plank road leading from the city to-'
wards Orange Court House. Between
them and the city was a tan-yard and
many outbuildings. Much sharpshoot
ingwas indulged in on both sides, op-
poi Luniues oemg anoraea us oy squads
of Federals, who in ;twos and: threes
kept moving rapidry from 'behind ex
temporized shelters to their rear, post
ed in the city limits proper. While a
squad of these were braying our shets
one of them was seen to drop, wTiile
all his companions, but one, taking ad
vantage of our empty rifles, soon got
to cover behind the houses. This brave
fellow, seeing his comrade fall, deliber
ately faced about, and, dropping his ri
fle, assisted his friend to arise, and to
gether they slowly sought the rear. As
they moved oft a score or more of rifles,
in the excitement of the moment, were
leveled with deadly intent, but before
a single one could be discharged our col
onel, Carnot Fosey, commanded "cease
firing; that man is too brave to be kill
ed," and then, with characteristic ad
miration for the brave fellow, we gave
him a hearty cheer, to which he replied
by a graceful wave of his cap as he and
his comrade passed behind the protec
tion of an outbuilding. I have often
thought of this brave act and wonder
ed if he escaped a soldier's death and
lived to become an acknowledged lead
er among men.

Washington, May amount
of six per cent, bondsf received at the
Treasury Department to-day for con
tinuance at three and a half per cent,
amounted to $4,784,430, malting the
aggregate amount received -since the
decision of the Secretary to Hate $65

on the outstanding six per cent bonds
of 1881, which was recently anticipated
to cover all such bonds which might
be presented for continuance at three
and a half per. cent, previous to May
10, has brought a large amount of the
bonds in the aggregate, interest already

IIow to apply and economize the
waste forces of the world are the prob
lems which scientists and mechanicians
are constantly trying to solve. It is an
undisputed fact that the most powerful
natural agents have altogether escaped,
or but reluctantly succumbed to, the
guiding hand of men.
The force the young men expend in
twnling their canes listlessly in the air,
ir seizeu upon ana concentrated, would
turn all the grindstones in the world,
but it wouldn't necessarily sharpen the
wits of the cane twirlers.
The amount of breath blown through
the lips of the world's wristlers, exclu
sive of that which shapes itself into a
tune, would make a continuous trade
wind that would send all the shipping
of this country, including the navy,
around the world and back.
The amount of wind "drawn in" on
the off notes, attached to an automatic
pair of forceps, would draw all the ach
ing teeth of the universe, "without
pain."
If the quick, jerky motion the young
men affect when - tiDDiasr their hats to.
Ltheir lady acquaintances could be utili
sed, it would furnish power for a cata
pult that would send every circus per
former in the country clean through
iue canvas m search ot a 8200 prize
comet.
The time wasted by young ladies in
preparing their toilets that they may
make a sensation on the street, would
give three days extra "grace" to every
outstanding liability in the world.
The smoke from cigars, pipes and
cigarettes that is now all mingled with
the atmosphere to its great detriment,
if ,condensed and used would smoke all
the bacon Chicago and Cincinnati cure.
The morning "chin music" over kind
ling the fire,, which always results in an
unpleasant, cross breakfast, could be
attuned into one grand anthem of dis
cord that would establish shouting
communication with the moon.
The steady rise and fall of the mater
nal' hand upon the rear basements of
the young hopefuls of the land, all
wasted, would furnish atrip hammer
