I have found the Canadian horses wonderfully sound in wind, the rejections for this failing being only 2 per cent.

Lee had played his card and won." Not a gap had been carried, and the. news of his where- abouts had come from other sources. There was a last stone wall in Thor- oughfare gap. - Behind it 100 Confed- erates crouched and waited. Their two iieldpieces were useless for the want_ of ammunition, and their muskets were alone to be depended on. As the sink- ing sun .lled the ravine with deeper gloom 500 Federals made a last charge- They had to treadthe dead under toot 3 to do it. That was the fourth charge w of the day. and it was checkedcas the others . had been. It simply meant more dead and wounded to choke that narrow way. Hundreds had been dragged out, but hundreds still re- mained. When night came. down, 50 men with powder stained faces, who had scarcely broken their fast or closed their eyes for 70 hours, silently march- ed out of the gap and headed` for.-the north in the wake "of the invading army.

Like the brave man he was, - l he took the one way out of it. At high ; noon the column was formed again,` l and the brigadier put himself at the head of it. Olcers groaned and pri- m vates murmured to see him there, but he was firm. He led in the dark-he was the rst to reach the wall--he mounted it and cheered his men in the ` ght which won it. But when it was 1 won he lay among the dead; and the 1 Confederates retired less than" half a ` mile to` a third wall. Two days had passed, and yet the Federals `had not broken through. Then another brigade came marching up, and there was an- other brigadier to takevcommand. He saw the situation asthe dead general had seen it, but he had less feeling.

It is probably nearer thetruth than many that are printed :--Willie Shortlike and Bettie Bloomers were married at - the-- church last evening. I The church was very prettily decorated with owers and potted plants, borrowed promis- ouously from over" town from people who didn t want to lend them. The decorating was done under protest by some of the members of the church, who were asked to do so by the bride and coudn t well refuse. The ladies are of the opinion that if the couple were so `bent on having a stylish wed- ding they should have been willing to have paid some one to chase all over the townifor a day getting-s owers to gather and then taking them home again. i '- l The bride wore a handsome silver- vstein gown, made at home; end the groom was decked out in 9. $10 hand- me-dowin suit. The ushers wore cuta- way costs, borrowed for the occasion. Sallie Potts was maid of honor, and the consensus of opinion was that she was 2` to 1 better than the bride. The young couple took the morning train for St. Louis where they will spend more money in a few days than Willie can earn in three months." uvs luvs V anus- Although docile and amiable enough as a rule, she could `show temper on oc- casion, and it then_ generally ended in her husband giving way to her.
