At Ilia end of every road there stands
Not built by hands—impenetriblitiare., •
Behind it lies an unknown lAnd.is and,,611.
The paths men plod tend to and' there.
Each man, according to his humor, paints
On that bare wall strange landscapes: dark or
bright,
reepled with forms of fiendeor foims of sainte;
li t ellkof Despair or Edens of Delight.
Then, to his fellows "Treuablel" or "Rejoice!"
The limner cries, "for 10, pre Land beyond!"
And ever, acquiescent to his.volce,
Faint echoes from that painted wall respond.
But, now and then, with sacrilegious hand,
Some one wipes off those painted landscapes
all,
I►lutterlog, "0 fools, and slow to understand,
Behold your bourne—the impenetrable wall!"
Whereas, an eager, angered crowd exclaims,
'Better than yon dead wall—though pale and
faint—
Our faded Edt ns! Better fiends and flames,
•By Fancy painted in her coarsest paint

"Oa the blind, bald, unquestionable face
Of that obstruction, than its cold, unclad,
And callous erentietss, without a traed

And straightway the old work 'begins again.•

For response to their pleasure or their pain,
Getting back echoes from that painted wall.
The
,Iltagrdilites:
The Galaxy for November is already out—
s very varieti. and spicy number. "The Story
of a Hero," by Edward A. Pollard, is a fine
tribute to Admiral Bell, who so heroiclly
raised the stars and stripes on the Custom
House of New Orleans, when Farragut had
taken possession of the city.--Billy Bottom
and his mendicant comrades are anecdotally
described in a pleasankgiapter on London
beggars,by N. S. Dodge.—Richard J. Hinton
contributes a "Talk with Mr. Burlingame
about China.—John S. C. Abbott has fished
up the letter written by Louis Napoleon to
his mother, Queen Hortense, after
the disaster at Strasbourg, and transla
ted it; adding a few trivial notes of his own.
—"Democratic Deities," by Eugene Benson,
is, not a political article, as it will be sup
posed, but a dreamer's animadversions on
modern society, with a general longing for
Arcadia and the "Greek Girl." It is rather
too remote, too speculative (although very
lair and likeable) to obtain much attention
from-the ordinary American reader.—" Two
French Editors" is principally a panegyric,
let off from the inaccessible heights of a wo
man's admiration, on Rochefort and La
Lanterne ; the chrysalis out of which the
butterfly editor was born, was old Emile de Gi
rardin his literary starter or matrix, who
naturally does not secure so many of the
kind tributes of the writer,Virginia Vaughan.
—Grant White concludes his "Misused
Words." He wants America to say
.Presidental instead of Presidential ; we
have no objection, except that there is no
such word as Presidental, and that if there
were we believe it would mean relating to
tlie frent-teeth, or something of that kind.
The form presidential is as old as the fitt
tique chronicler Glanvil, and is perfectly
established. —The only fiction in the num
ber is the conclusion of Marian Harland's
novel of "Beechdele," and five mere chapters
of the anonymous tale "Cipher."—There is,
okcourse, a description of a railway ride to
the Rocky Mountains, the universal subject
now; the Galaxy has bad
. the advantage of
securing a very lively correspondent, Mr. J.
Edwards Clarke, who, we believe, has some
sort of connection with the Evening Post.
—The Miscellany, out of four component
articles, has two good ones; that on the Eagre
(tidal bore), from Mr. M. Miles, of the Navy,
mid that on the Four Nations, by W. L.
Alden. Mr. Alden's nations are " Bohemia"
(a"Waverleyism we believe) " Belgravia," (a
cockneyism) " Philistia" (a Germanism) and
"Peoria" (a - New Yorkism, perfectly local. )
The last term is new to us; it appears that a
Peorian is a ruminant, a rustic, au innocent.
a denizen of the clover-field. Drip wood
and Rebulce, consist of short newspaper
articles, translated into monthly literature by
the overbearing hand of Sheldon d Co.
We find in the American Journal of
Horticulture a second " Chapter on Green
houses," by Mr. Lord, with a map and pic
ture; an account of certain Oaks indigenous
in California, "The Orchid House," by C. E.
Herbert, and a greater number of seasonable
horticultural facts and gleanings than we can
enumerate. Au illustrated account of,a five
dollar propagating-tank, warmed by a com
mon kerosene lamp, is valuable to small
nurserymen as a hint. The number is par
ticularly rich. Boston : Tilton • Co.

RAIL WAY PEIDLAILS.
A SKetch.
We have heard the complaint male that
the interests of railway attaches are too
much neglected by the community. Not
only on the city but the steam highways as
well, the employes, it is said, are not the re
cipients of an enlarged public sympathy. In
viewing thi3 subject from the stand-point of
the traveler, we find several reasons for this.
In the first place he is, as a rule, too far re
moved from contact with
.the men to feel
compassion for their desires. In starting
upon a journey he entertains relations only
with the company, and considers, whether
justly or not, that care for the employed
should naturally pertain to the employer.
Unhappily the atmosphere about a car is
adapted still further to attach him to his
frigid theory. Personal discomfort is rarely
on good terms with charity: and no sympa
thy for the weary engineer can be
rationally expected from the equally weary
passenger. Indeed, a moderate degree
of apathy would appear to be essential in en
abling our traveler to preserve an equilibrium
otherwise subject to disturbance. Who but
our traveler, upon arriving late at the train,
and in consequence obliged to take a
~seat
directly over the wheels,can prevent a certain
chilliness creeping over his sympathies? Who
but he can sit near the door and be compelled
to get $. every other minute to eloSe it after
care iesa passengers, and do it smilingly?—or
get a:6.oer in his eye and not complain?—or,vvi 4 03 . :10o/cently nodding, have his head
ranched -every time it happens to infringe
on l ' i ttigt, We? Aud when we come to con
iiido4at fruitful source of annoyance, tue
railway polir, we hasten to screen our tray
clef from a . too hasty jtidgment upon,his ap
par(tent-seiAiihness, -and considering him in his
turn =a persecuted individual, include him
within the fold of our own sympathies.
The proportions which the latter phase of his
trittilations - not infrequently assumes claim '
for it a separate notice. • -
Vi r hile' the regular attendants on the train
at their re l sketive \ dudes, the driver hold
ing the life of our traveler subject to his cau
tion; the conductor looking after his tickets,
and the baggage-master after his luggage—
the railway pedlar is engaged in earning a
precarious existence in presumedly catering
to his pleasures. He presents a form which
unhappily is too familiar. He is ordinarily a
young man of unwholesome appearance,
who, perhaps,having failed at the retail cigar
and illustrated newspaper business, has taken
to the road for a living. He wears a cap and
low shoes, and , affects a weak beard. He
rarely indulges in a toilet, and has in cense
. quence a vapid, greasy aspect, as though he
was in the habit of sleeping under the engine
with his clothes on. The parasite of the
train, he secures attention by the irritation he
excites. His activity is only equalled by his
stupidity, for we find him judging the appe
tite of our traveler as that of an ostrich and
hie intellectual tastes as those of an Indian.
During the past vacation term we had an
opportunity of observing the habits of a rail
way pedlar, and the following memorandum,
taken at the time, is in every particular cor
rect: An individual answering to the above
description got on a train trhersing the
western portion of our State, and at once
proceeded to unlock alarge oblong box, placed
;near the water-cooler, to take thence a num
ber of novels. These he scattered about the
'car. Over old and young, valises and shawls,
"The Maid of the Forest," "Tae Brigand's
Revenge," "The Robber's Bride," went in
crowds. He said not a word, and so far as
we could judge, effected no sale. This feat
accomplished to his apparent satisfaction, in
the same sober manner the pamphlets were
'returned to the box, and an armful of books
of jokes,such as "The Phunny Phellow," and
others equally melancholy, were sown as be
fore over the drowsy passengers, but with no
better harvest. Next was presented for ex
amination a number of fancy envelopes,
each package containing (as we were
informed by the printed announcement
on the back) ten sheets of note
paper, twelve patriotic songs, thirty
valuable receipts, and a fine piece of jewelry.
This unprecedented "prize" was offered at
the low sum ,4)I. twenty-five cents. But in
vain; we were without patriotism, and trav
eled unadorned. By this time, having ex
hausted his stock in literature, he without
discouragement offered a variety of tempta
tions to the palates of his victims. Box
after box, basket after basket, containing to
wit : apples, figs, gum-drops, pop-corn,
cigars,
ice-cream candy and toys of vegetable
ivory followed in dreary succession. But no
one wanted the apples—they were sour, nor
the gum-drops—they were mucky; nor the
cigars—they were damp. The feast was for
us now ended. The infecting caterer trans
ferred his traps to afflict our fellow-passen
gers in the next car. We embraced the op
portunity to moralize a little over the extraor
dinary performance just concluded; and for
the moment disabusing ourselves from the in
fluence of his presence, we lucidly concluded
that the man was a nuisance. We observed
that his person was dirty, his books, with few
exceptions, were neither amusing nor instruc
tive, while his viands were unwholesome.
He was barely tolerated, and owed to the
ennui of the passengers his sole safeguard
against annihilation.
There are others, however, who are more
interesting. They claim our attention while
they excite our pity. The cruel necessity
which forces them to enter the cars is made
so evident by their appearance that a sym
pathy is at once awakened which tew care to
conceal. The mean apparel, the wan visage,
the unobtrusive manner, would tell the story
of want in these young girls quite as well as
though their scanty stock of edibles was not
exhibited. We have often been aroused from
a half nap by a low voice pitched in a minor
key coming to us above the harsh clickity-clank
of the wheels, like the sound of running water,
beseeching us to buy of certain unpromising
wares. We once met the owner of such a
voice—a Mignon-like creature—who was of
fering some cartes de visite for sale. We
were apprised of her presence by having the
pictures thrust before our face with the single
woi ded inquiry, "Photographs?" Astonished,
we look trom the cards to the sunken visage
of the child. Had a man offered such for sale
he would have been expelled the car. The
girl Ras evidently ignorant of the kind of
picture she was endeavoring to sell.
But there comes 1..) us as we dwell lightly
on these things a brighter picture—one famil
iar to every Philadelphian who, as we ohm
heard an esteemed Quaker lady remark, is in
unity with Atlantic City. Who of such do
not remember the boy pedlars who beseige
the cars at every station? They are bare
footed; have solid, bronzed cheeks, and lungs
as breezy as their own pine woods. They tell
us of that larger, out-of-door life that lan
guishes in cities, and to which we go at odd
times for renewed sustenance. Every morn
ing these sturdy trumpeters tramp over from
the lowland with baskets filled with apples
and little paper bags containing huckleber
ries. What although they ask a fair round
price for them?—their berries are sweet and
their apples juicy. They remind us of the real
country apples we used to get when we
were ourselves boys, and off on the sum
mer holidays. We went barefooted too, then;
indeed, we restored an artificial costume to
its ultimate elements of shirt, pants and hat
crown. We would have liked nothing better
then than to have been allowed to gather fruit
and sell it to the city folks at the station, par
ticularly when a need was felt to replenish
our exhausted coffers. dud as we look from
the car window upon the upturned, healthy
faces of these Jersey boys,we—iiigid travelers
that we have become—acknowledge to a de
cided fellow feeling for the condition of such
railway attaclails, though we indulge in sly
suspicions that not a few of them are sons of
sober farmers who know not, of this scape
goat tendency of their offspring. But success
to the roots! They are the oases of the
railtsti3 , and let us hope that they may multi
ply along the wastes of travel. Frh.t.x.

Andalusia was followed . 1:1y Valencia; and
yesterday a train was stopped in Cattflefilli,

glad to report that a rabble having taken ..to_
plundering at Malaga, the new authorities
stopped the disorder and shot twenty of the
worst offenders on the spot. This is an im
portant incident, for in the commercial and
prosperous towns on the Mediterranean a
fear of the social and destructive elemefits un
loosed by revolution is always a pOswsrful re
straint on men of influence who are yet no
friends to the Bourbon dynasty.

flew through their streets. 'Quaint old Sara
gossa, with its picturesue houses and heroic
history, will suffer peculiarly by this crisis.
An exposition has just been opened there, in
the course of which its citizens have incurred
serious pecuniary liabilities. Barcelona, at
ohe time supposed to be always' ready for a
rising, remained remarkably still.,lts pleasant
promenade the Rambla, with its long borders
of chestnu t plane trees, by the sides of
which the black eyed Catalan women sell
bouquets of dahlias and roses, was still
crowded by quiet groups. This tranquillity,
however, was only on the surface. Barcelona,
as discerning people saw, was. "biding its
time;” so here and there moneyed men began
removing, specie to France, passports were
pretty eagerly inquired for, ships made haste
to get their 'clearances," and residents of
foreign nations were heard to express a wish
to see themselves represented in the port by
men-of-war.
While this lull wat still existing,a telegram
from Madrid fell upon the city as suddenly* as
ono of the white squalls . of its own Mediter
ranean. .It was to the effectthat Madrid had
"pronounced" with great; enthusiasm, but
without bloodshed, and that the people had
fraternized with the army to the cry of "Viva
la Libertad yla Soberancia, Nacional !" In
an instant all was excitement.' Shops were
shut. Crowds swarmed in the streets. The
Conde de Cheste,who happened to be abroad,
was surrounded by noisy patriots, and had
some difficulty in getting indoors, after (it is
affirmed) making a promise that the popular
sentiment should be recognized. For a time
there was much alarm and disturhance; mus
ket shots were heard from one of the bar
racks; but it soon became known that the
authorities did not intend to resist the "logic
of facts." A vast assemblage having formed
itself in the Plaza de la Constitution, a colo
nel-of the army appeared at a balcony of the
Cases Consistoriales, and announced that
what was done in Madrid would be followed
here. Great acclamation succeeded this lit
tle speech; and—these Southern people being
always dramatic and picturesque—a carriage
decked with flags was sent through the
streets, inside of which was a figure of Prim
lighted up with huge wax candles. Soon af
ter midnight all was quiet.
The Young- Mark of the Period.
Magazines and the press generally have been
most bitter in their vituperations of the
female follies of the sex, with what
truth I leave to the conscience of the
accused; but, in perusing these diatribes I
cannot refrain from raising an outcry, not against
tue faults alluded to, but against as sore an evil,
as pestilent a plague as any undraped woman
can ever be. I speak of the follies of the young
man of to-day; of the husbands of the future
—of the men that are the hope of our
daughters and our sisters—men whom they
in all the enthusiasm and glamour
of a young girl's fancy, cannot elevate further
than "such a nice young man, such a lovely
waltzer!" Take what ply= you will, or, more
justly, the same arena wherein you judged the
woman—the opera and the ball-room—and of
what is the greater portion of our best male society
composed? Flirting, dancing, languidly
perambulating, or languishingly criticising
—there is not that within any of them
to excite the admiration of one honest or sensi
ble woman. They drive those who believe in
something higher than a mere joining of purses
and linking of family names, to forswear that
higher destiny for which they were allotted.
The Divine Law of Marriage insists that the
woman shall obey, and before obedience can
come but one of two precedents—respect or fear
—and what traits does the young man, or rather
the general class of the young men of the present
day possess to inspire either? For the woman,
there is but one course, single life or perjury; for
perjury it is, when she promises that which she
can never do. The insufficiency of to-day's
growth of men to supply the finer wants of
woman's nature forces her to seek in the need of
general admiration some recompense for that
love which is withheld, but which her heart de
mands.
To diverge from the examination of their char
acters as lovers and husbands—what are their
business capabilities? How many fathers and
the assistance and dependence they expected
from their sons? Arc they not, rather, a dead
weight, placing a double load upon the shoul
ders they should relieve? True, there are young
men spoken of as "promising" by their elders,
or as - bound to make their marks;" bat alas!
they are exceptions that but make the contrast
stronger. llow many, should it become neces
sary, would be willing to go through the same
amount of labor, mental toil and application
their fathers endured, even to reach tue same
goal they did? /
I do not exalt women especially, but what can
you expect of their excellence, when this is a
sample of the men whom they must study to
please? rt is barely possible that It would re
quire any extreme effort to become worthy of
them.
Every paper or book you touch teems with ar
ticles on Reform! Reform in woman, her ways,
her speech, her dress. I repeat, the degeneracy
of the age does not attach especially to woman,
but is the result of a general movement. To be
effectual, reform must be thorough; and you lop
off but one of the hydra's many heads, when you
complain of the deterioiation of the female sex.
What follies of fashion has woman indulged that
men have not equalled? What indecency of cos
tume that they have not rivaled—outdone? Wit
ness the scant proportions of some of their habil
meats. Cull for reform as loudly as yon please,
but pray extend the invitation to the gentlemen
of your acquaintance.
Lay satire and rebuke aside, and what is more
ludicrous than the Spectacle afforded by a male
"fashionable" in pants that rival his natural cu
ticle for tightness, amply displaying the badly
formed or artificially well-formed limbs! A coat,
more 01 the fashion of the monkey-jackets of
Equeers's boys; a tight stove-pipe at one ex
tremity, and tighter boots mile other; his arms
dangling helplessly, or inanely twirling his mous
tache. The portrait would need no caricaturing
to be ready for Punch, or Judy. Fortunately,
winter is approaching, arid overcoats will hide
what no one cares to see. This is the street
attire—the costume in which the lords of
creation• lounge round hotels, and walk to
or from their offices or stores. But behold
them in the glory of full evening dress. The
same tight encasement for the legs, only tighter
and thinner in texture. The article called dress
coat—cut all out in front, and all away behind.
The vest "rolled" to such an extent that It has
but one button visible. White lace necktie;
curled, corseted, padded, perfumed, powdered,
painted, and pomatumed—and the irresistible is
complete. Now picture in your imagination
this exquisite at home, standing on the bed to
undress, and folding up, carefully and tenderly,
these evidences of his I:tacit:lo4opr!
There is much more in reference to this genus
left unsaid which I could say, but having
brought—him- to the best of his phases. asleep, 1

All Important Invention In Piano.
tortes.
[From the New York, Review, Oct. 10, 1663.]
All musical readers are, we presume, fully
aware that in the- drawing-rooms and boudoirs
of Europe but two styles of pianos are, compar
atively,kuov.n, viz: the grand and cabinet,or the
- npright instrument; the square being in little
use. The beauty and compactness of the up
right piano, and its adaptability to rooms In
which either a grand or square piano would oc
cupy too much space, has long been conceded ;
but the construction of the imported instruments
of.this_description, as well as of those until re
cently manufactured in the United States, for
bade their use, however dcsirable,owing to their
utter unreliability and the impossibility of keep
ing them in—. Lane under the violent climatic
changes to which they were subject on this con
tinent. ,The heavy wooden posts in the rear of
the Instrument, supporting the wrest-plank on
which the strings were strained, were naturally
subject to the contraction and expansion inci
dental to, the violent atmospheric changes. Eu
ropean upright pianos soon became compare
y useless, and American: nudrufanturena
almost ignored their construction despairing of
producing an instrument of reliability independ
ent of atmospheric influences.
It retrained for Messrs. Slnwhy &'Elens, tO , l
Solve tiid , peOblem, and, attert9orage.and palled
exiterinientalliadustry, tO eubeeedf f in produdirig : -
ari,npright piano, one In whlpli alethe'old prime
ciples Of donstructiori_Vereignorcel,;lbe Onset- ot
previous failures remoired, and positive rollablV
ity obtained, combined with a brilliancy and vol
ume of tone hitherto unknown in the upright
piano of Europe or America.
This vast improvement-was ' accomplished by
the abolition of the old-fashioned wooden posts
and the-introduction of the double iron frame, as
the support of the wrest-plank and the strain of
the strings, and at the same time by isolating the
sound-board from this frame, and rendering that
most important portion of the instrument (so
aptly styled the "lungs of the piano") independent
of it.
The result of - this invention was beyond the
most sanguine anticipations. For nearly a year
past Messrs. StehaWay &.• Sons have been rnauu
lecturing instruoents of this class which stood
every test towhich they could possibly , be sub
jected, remaining firmly in tune and developing
a quantity and quality of tone hitherto unknown
in the upright piano.
Still another and , most important feature in
perfecting the upright piano suggested itself,
namely, the construction of not only a prompt
but an , invariably efficient action, responsive
alike to all the exigencies and requirements of
the performer and the caprices in which he
might desire to indulge. Here was still room
for improvement—and for a considerable period
Messrs. Steinway and Sons have devoted them
selves to a ser es of experiments, with the view
of remedying , the only remaining defect in
the upright piano, and rendering it in every res
pect a perfect instrument. These experiments
have culminated in their new tubular metallic
action-frame, for which they were granted let
ters patent in July of this year (1863.)
In our opinion and that of all musicians and
pianists, this last improvement has removed all
double as to the reliability and unchangeableness
of the action, under the most unfavorable and
trying circumstances to which it may be sub
jected—whether atmospheric or otherwise.
The importance of this last and great improve
ment in upright pianos demands more than a
brief or passing notice. In all pianos the touch
of the action has an even depth; but the striking
of a key in an upright piano had never the same
force as in a square piano, owing to the fact that
in the latter class of instruments the action with
its frame rests firmly on the solid frame of the
instrument, thus-securing a positively immovable
position for the hammer-rails, whereas in the up
right piano the positions are reversed; in the let
ter the actual body of the frame, with its brae
ings, is placed behind the strings and sound
board, whilst the action is situated and pendent
in front of them, violently vibrating with the
striking of the keys and entailing an absolute
lose of power.
There was, however, a far graver objection to
the old upright action, in the fact that toe action
and keyboard were fastened to the comparatively
thin side-walls of the case. which, being con
structed of wood, were liable to the same laws
of contraction from heat, and expansion from
dampness, which by natural progression ope
rated upon the action, and continuously changed
its position and distance from the strings.
The new patent of Messrs. Steinway & Sons
covers and includes a metallic action-frame, pro
vided with four (so styled) hangers. which, by
means of four large screw-heads, are firmly af
fixed directly to the wrest-plank. Diagonally
through these hangers run peculiarly moulded
brass tubes, fitted with traverses, which tubes,
filled in with wood, are joined together by metal
rods, firmly united and soldered to each other;
and upon this substantial construction the action
is permanently fixed by screws, securing an ab
solutely unchangeable position, not only of the
various striking and resting points of the ham
mers, but of the parts necessarily used to place
them in motion.
The marked and decisive improvement we have
described above consists also in the fact that the
four hangers find their four respective screws in
precisely the same position in every instrument
manufactured, the holes for these screws being
drilled by machinery which cannot fall in pla
cing them in identically the same spot. Hence
this remarkable result is obtained 2 that each sepa
rate action (which, complete, weighs but thirty
pounds) can be replaced by a new one without
remitting the piano to its maker, or entailing the
services of an expert in the necessary alteration.
The newly patent tubular metallic action-frame,
combined with the double iron frame which
Mes.srs.Steinway & Sons had previously patented,
and which has been fully described, proved. be
yond doubt or question, that the great desidera
tum has been achieved at length in the produc
tion of an upright pianoforte, so grand in its
quality, eo unchangeable in its action, so thor
oughly reliable in remaining in tnne,and so com
pact in its construction, as to challenge public fa
vor and command success. We would, in con
clusion, add that the new patented metallic ac
tion has all the external appearance of highly
finished clock work, and those who desire to ex
amine and test these new and most important
improvements will find samples of them at the
warcroome of Messrs. Steinway & Sons.

Horace Mann used to tell a story of a eon
versation be once had with an inmate of the
lunatic asylum at Worcester, Massachusetts,
whose peculiar mania resulted from an in
ordinate development of the bump of self
esteem.
"What's the news sir? Has anything un
usual happened of late, sir?" inquired he, with
a consequential air.
Mr. M. happening to recollect that a furious
storm had occurred a few days previous,
gave him some account of it, mentioning
that on the seacoa3t it was very
severe, several vessels having been driven
ashore and wrecked, with the loss of many
lives.
"Can you remember, sir, what night in the
week all that happened?" eagerly inquired the
listener.
Mr. Mann said he believed it was the night
of Tuesday.
"Ab!" said the lunatic, with an air of
solemnity, mingled with triumph, and
lowering his voice to a whisper, "I can ac
count for it, sir! That was the night I
whistled so!"

The Paraguayan position at the month of the
Tebicnary river 'has been taken by the allies.
President Lopez, of Paraguay, has gone to Villa
Rica, a town in the Interior, unattended, having
abandoned the capital to the allies. r
Two foreign corvettes were about to ascend the
river to Asuncion.
Toward night, as very hard fighting was
going on near the plaza, it was suddenly dis
covered that the detachmenti engaged was al
most out of , ammunition. The men were,
under hot fire, and could not hold their ground
a moment without cartridges. Taylor's head
quarters were a mile back, outside of the
town, at "Fort No. 1." a captured redoubt.
Grant, who bad been with his regiment from
the firing of the first musket, volunteered to
go and find him or Twiggs, and order up am
munition.
He prepared for his ride behind a house,
and then dashed out. The moment he
emerged from cover he was under a sweep
ing artillery and musketry fire from forts and
houses. But he was probably the best horse
man in the army, and his skill did him good
service. Before running the hot gauntlet, he
bad adopted the. posture of the Camanche
Indians in similar peril—lying against the side
of his horse, with one foot thrown over the
saddle and his hand clutched in the mane.
Being on the opposite side from the enemy,
any shots to harm him must first pass through
the steed. •
His horse was well trained and with grant
clinging to him in that awkward position,
and "bobbing" pp and down with Ms mo
tion, he started at a quick run. On the way
he had to jump an earth wall nearly four feet
high. He made the leap splendidly, and
though balls whistled and shells exploded all
around him, Grant had the good fortune to
reach the fort safely. He found Twiggs,who
gave the order to forward the ammunition,
but before it could start our troops came
pouring back. With great, but fruitless gal
lantry they had got into . a place in which
they could not stay. • As Grant himself af
terward described it, they were like the man
who caught a wild boar. When friends came
up with congratulations, he replied : •
"Yes, I did pretty well in catching him,
but now I wish somebody would come and
help me let hint go."— Richardeon's Life
of Grant.
