Maj. James Breathed. THE SINGLE GL'NXER REMINISCENCES OF HIS RECKLESS BRAVERY. The subject of this sketch, which was written by a Yankee soldier, is the brother of oui townsman, Mr. Frank Breathed, and is a truestatement.J The Boston Globe is publshing the memoirs of a private soldier in the campaign of 1S04. In an article de scribing General Warrens passage to Spottsylvania on May 7, 1804, he makes the following reference to the reck less daring of "one man on a gun" in opposing, unsupported, 2,000 men, and finally escaping. That man was Major James Breathed, of this county, a son oflVIr. John W. Breathed and a brother of Mrs. Robert Bridges, of Hancock. The narrative is as follows: It-was an hour of great anxiety to Ge:t. Wur-en. H'- kne w C:.nt cx:ec- ted hm to pi; ice his troops at the court house, and when he met General Rob inson the hitter thought it better to await the arrival of the other two brig ades, as being sure of success, for he knew the enemies infantry had arrived. Warren, however thought otherwise, aud ordered Robinson to push the brig ade right down upon the enemy and oen the road, and he (Warren) would hasten the supports. Warren knew that delay would strengthen the enemy as his own army, and away we went,' our left in the ,kair." We overtook our skirmishers, and just then, in our immediate front, ap peared a battery of horse artillery. There were no obstructions to our rap id march or to the enemies' aim, con sequently our column moved fast, but the artillery shots were too high to disconcert us. "Get ready to duck, boys," shouted a winded Cbptnin, but the aim of the en emy continued too elevated and we were unharmed. Shots came rapid, and our lieutenant-colonel then in com mand, called out, "Come on, men, get that gun,'1 aud kept well in the front line. The race for the gun was an earnest one. In full view of 2,000 men, each was trying to be the lucky captor. The c,!umn got somewhat disorganized; men fell out from exhaustion and over heat, but 1 am not aware that any were struck by: the artillery shots. The artillery would fall back as we approached, but their gunners gradu ally fell out until at last one man onlv remained. One man on a gun, and with four or six horses to care for, we thought, of course, he would retire the gun; but no! he showed signs of tight, and our men began to fire at the dare devil, and one of the leading horses fell. I distinctly remember seeing the man jump from his horse,and apparently cut out the dead one. What kept us from overtaking the man and his gun I can not tell. ;He turned the horses, and when nearly completed, his own horse dropped, and he got on another and drove the horses and gun out of our reach, for we had struck the infantry, fund in the first volley I fell wounded. 1 wenty years after that event Gen eral Fitz Hugh Lee wrote as follows: "Maj James Breathed was the most recklessly brave man 1 ever knew, lie was commanding my horse artillery, and at my'order placed a single gun in position on a little knoll as we were fulling back, disputing the enemy's ad vance toward Spottsylvania Court House. "We knew the enemies infantry were marching in colirmu through a piece of woods, and Jthe object was to fire upon the head of the column sis it de bouched to give the idea that their further advance would be again contes ted, and to comj)el them to develop a line of battle with skirmishers thrown out, etc. "The delay which it was hoped to occasion by such demonstration , was de sirable iii u:der to increase the chances of our infantry, then marching by an other parolel! route to the court house. Under Major lireathed's personal su perintendence shells were thrown, and burst exactly in the head of the column as it was debouclied. "The desired effect was obtained; the head of thi? enemy's advance was scat tered, and it was only with some difficul ty a line of battle, with skirmishers in its front, 'was formed to continue the advance. "I was, sitting on my horse near Breathed, and directed him to with draw his gun. He was so much ela ted with his success that he begged to be allowed to give the enemy some more rounds, lie then fired until their line got so close that you could hear them shout. "Surrender that gun! ' -"UreathedV own horse had just been shot."' "The cannonacfers jumped ujnon their hores, expecting of course the gun to be captured, and retreated down the hill. "Breathed was left alone. He lim bered the gun up, and jumped on the lead horse.- It was shot from under him. "Quick as lightning he drew his knife, cut the leaders out of the harness, and sprang upon the swing horse. It was also shot from under him as he was turning to get into the road. He then severed the harness of the swing horse, and again made a desperate trial for life. s "The ground was open between the piece of woods; and the enemy had a full view of the exploit, and Breathed at last dashed off unharmed, almost nii raculoiiisy escaping through a shower of bullets." BIO BIRDS OF THE DESERT. V Hunting That Combihev Profit With Pleasure. HOW IIE AKABS CAPTURE OSTRICHES A SINGULAR I5IRD POSSESSED OF A REMARKABLE APPETITE. With the Arabs of the desert- the ehaseand capture of the ostrich is the most attractive and aristocratic of the many diversions in which they indulge. The first thing attended to' when a hunt is contemplated is the prepara tion of the horses. They are entirely deprived of grass, and fed on barley for seven or eight days before the in tended hunt. They are allowed to drink only once a day, and that at snn set; at tUttl-:iim.i they :.:r alio washed. They take long exercise, nd great at tention is given to the arrangement of the harness. The Arab says that after seven or eight days the Stomach of the horse disappears, while t he chest, the breast and croup remain in flesh. The animal is then in condition- to en dure fatigne. This training is called tcehela. The harness used in this hunting is much lighter than that in ordinary use, especially the saddle and stirrups, and the martingale is dispen sed with. The bridle also undergoes many changes, the mouuting and ear flaps being taken away, as they are considered -too heavy. The bit and frontlet are made of rope, without throat band, and the reins, though very strong, are extremely light. The time favorable for ostrich hunting if when there is the greatest heat. The higher the temperature the less is the ot rich able to defend itself. The Arab says that when' a man stands upright, and his shadow is only the length of his foot, that is the exact time to hunt. Each horseman is accompanied by a servant,culled Zemimal. He is mount ed on a camel carrying four goat skins filled with water, and barley for the horses, wheat flour for the rider, some dates, a kettle in which to cook the food and everything which can possi bly be required for the repairing of the harness in case of an accident. The horseman wears a li:.en vest and trousers and covers his neck and ears with a light material called havuli, which is tied with a strap of camel s hide. His ft j it ii i leet are protectee try sanuais ana n is legsby light gaiters, called trabag. He has neither gun nor pistol, Jiis only weapon being a wild olive or tarmarind stick, five or six feet long, with a heavy knob at one end. Before starting ott, the hunters as certain where a large number- of os triches are to be found. They are generally met with in places where there is a great deal of grass, and rain has recently fallen. The hunters gen erally commence their journey early in the morning. After one or two days traveling, when they have arrived near the desired spot, and they begin to see traces of their game, they halt and cam). They carry a goat-skin at their side and a little bread. They walk on until thev find the ostriches, which are generally on level daces. As soon as the same is in view, one lies down to watch, and the other returns to convey the information to the camp. The birds are found iii troops, con sisting of as many as sixty. The horsemen, guided by the scout, travel cautiously toward the game. The nearer they approach the spot the greater is their caution, and when they reach the last ridge which hides them from the ostriches, fhey dismount and creep forward to ascertain whether the birds are still there. If such is the case, a moderate quantity of water is given to the horses, and each man mounts again and proceeds. The ser vants and camels follow a little distance behind, carrying with them corn and water. The horsemen divide and form a cir cle round the ostriches at such a dis tance as not to lie noticed by them. The servants halt when the horsemen separate, and as soon as they see their masters in position, they walk right before their prey. The ostriches flee, but are met by the hunters, who at first only drive them back into the circle. They are made to run around in the ring, and in this way their strength is exhausted. At the first sign of fatigue in the birds the horsemen dasli in and the exhausted birds open their wings, which isasign of great exhaustion, and the hunter, now feeling sure of his prey selects his bird and runs it down and finishes it by a blow on the head with th( olive stick. The moment the bird fallf? the man quickly dismounts and cuts its throat, taking care to hold the head at some distance from the body, so as not to soil the plumage. It is said the male bin! utters loud moans while dying, but the female lies in si lene. When the ostrich is on the point of being taken by the hunter, if he does not wish to kill it, he can easily drive it with the stick to where the camp is, it is in such an exhausted conditiou. After the birds are bled to death they are carefully skinned, so that they may not become injured, and the skin is stretched upon a tree or a horse, and salt is well rubbed into it. Then a fire is built and the fat of the bird is boiled for a long time. When it is very liquid it is poured into bot tles made of the skin of the thigh and leg,and strongly fastened at the bottom. The fat of the bird is generally suffi cient to fill two of these cases, and it is said that the fat would sport in any other vessel. After the frying-out process the flesh is prepared to be eaten by the hunters, who dress it well with p.'Pper and flour. While all this is going on the horses are carefully tended; Watered and well fed with com, and the party remain quiet for forty-eight hours to rest the animals. After that they return to camp or seek more game. To the Arab the chase of the ostrich has a double attraction--that of pleas ure and profit. The price obtained for the skins well compensates for the ex pense. Not only do the rich enjoy the pursuit, but the poor, who know how to arrange for it as well. The usual plan is for a poor Arab to bargain with some one who is well to do for his horse, camel, harness and two-thiid&of the necessary provisions. TheU.r.ow- c: fur.iiil: tue rcina'r. lij third, aud the result of the chase is divided in the same proportion. Dr. Shaw says that while these birds appear tame and tractable to persons well known to them, they are often very fierce to strangers, whom they will try to push down by running fiercely at them, and will peck at them and strike witlutheir feet. The doctor saya he once saw a man whose abdo men had been torn open by a stroke from the claw of an ostrich, so violent a blow can be given by them. The natural food of an ostrich consists or dinarily of vegetable substances, espe cially grain, and the ostrich is a great enemy to the African farmers. But its sense of taste is so obtuse that leather, old nails, buttons, bits of lin, keys, coins and pebbles are devoured with apparent equal relish. Nothing conies amiss. But the bird doubtless follows an instinct, for these hard substances assist in grinding down and preparing for digestion its ordinary food, like the gravel in the crops of our domestic poultry ." Cuvier found in the stomach of an ostrich that died in Paris a pound of stones, bits of iron and copper aud pieces of money worn down by con stant attrition. In another stomach. besides several .large cabbage stalks, there were pieces of brick the size of a man's list. Prof Sparnmui relates that he has seen ostriches so tame that they went to and fro on the farm where they were raised, but so voracious that they would swallow chickens whole and trample hens to death, and then tear them in pieces to devour. "And one terrible great bird had to" "be killed on account of an awkward habit he had acquired of trampling sheep to death." But the most wonderful thing, per haps, showing the capacity of an os trich's stomach is that afforded bv Dr. SI law, who saw one swallow bullet after bullet as they were pitched scorching hot from the mold. It ha become a proverbial expression, in al luding to a person whose, digestion is perfect, to.suy: " He has the stomach of an ostrich." Boston Hehihl. What Congress Did.

Secretary Whitney had placed anoth er I ni Ilia lit feather in the cap of this Administration. Probably no Demo crat, not even Samnd J. Tihlcn while living, ever received such unstinted praise from the Republican press as has been showered upon him during the past week. Nothing has been done bv any member of Mr. Cleveland's Cubi netsince it was organized more calcu lated to win popularity than is the act of the Secretary of the Navy by which the work of fortifying our seaports and building ironclads is established on a solid foundation. From every side his energy and sa gacity is applauded, the work he has done to beguile bidders to accept offered terms, and the ability he exhibits in di recting the general work of his Depart ment. It looks too as if the name of Mr. Whitney would be associated in history with the building of the Amer ican Navy. The response to him was iirnmii tlw.l -1. 11 . 111,11 niej WUI iw tilling lip I ll' i Washington Navy Yard as an ordinance f factory for the assembling and comple j tion of heavy guns and steel forgings, j will be begun soon and rapidly carried ; forward. Needless delays can' lie avoid ed because it is shown that the gun forgings and armor plates can lie fur nished in much shorter time than was supposed. For more than eighteeu months Sec retary Whitney has lieon industriously devising the means that make success possible. He has been studying the conditions of the problem- determining the needs of defensive armor, ganging the impact of projectiles, fixing on tests by which the Department will be gov erned, and making the inducements as al tractive as possible. Since all the iron foundries of the country are pressed with unfulfilcd en gagmciits lor months ahead, at high prices, some surprise; was expressed that there should have been a single bid i'r the millions of dollars worth of work that was proposed; But the proprietor of the netulehem company foresaw that the boom would not last, and that it would pay to work for Uncle Sam even on more reasonable terms, liecau.se his job would last for a decade or so, lioth summer and winter, and the mon ey is sure. It is to be hoped that there will be no more lamentations for the present over the failure of the Naval bills. At least Secretary Whitney is satisfied with the outlook. He says the prob lem which puzled every body is solved, and that the work of fortifying coasts and equipping ships is in just as good shape as it would have been if the Sen ate bills had become laws. Since I wrote you the long discussed Inter-State Commerce Coniruision has been completed, announced, comment ed upon, approved and now it is about to organize and go to work.
