The residents of the Pyne, Archhald
nnd Continental Saturday petitioned
through their counsel. Major Everett
Warren, for a charter to incorporate
the three towns in to a borough. The
name of the proposed borough is to be
Pyne. Exceptions to the petition were
Hied bv tin- Lackawanna t nvnship oin
cials, Ira S. Hums, Al. J. Donahue and
Air. Hannnh were retained to oppose
the petition. The case came up before
Judge Edwards. Major Warren called
a number of witnesses, who testitled
that it was an absolute necessity that
the Incorporation should be allowed.
The main cont- ntion In the case Is that
the school facilities and the police pro
tection in the little settlements nre so
inferior that It Is burdensome to live
th-re.

a touching scene at the conclusion of
Senator J. R. Cordon's lecture on "The
Last Days of the Confederacy," before
the Lincoln club the other evening,
(lenrrnl Cordon spoke for two and a
halt hours under appeals to "go on;
go on." In conclusion he said:

and sreeted their former foe. Gener

From Youth's Companion.
There are so many kinds of courage
that to I'liumerate the variety In detail
would (ill a number of the Youth's
Companion. Personally I do not rank
particularly high heady valor in the
battle or the forlorn hope. Then the
blood Is hot and the ardor of the fray
Is throbbing In every libre. PiiIi-sm a
man is an utter coward at heart it
si -ems to i;u- that pel force he must in
the nature of tilings be brave in the
t'linioll of buttle, of course, there, us
elsewhere, degrees of conduct preheat
theniselvi s, and the true man will stein
a sudden puuic or greatly dare to save
the life oi a comrade.
Rut it is i:i -uld blood that the higher
courage exhibits It-elf, nnd the com
parative rarity of that virtue proves
its exceptional and more elevated
stamp.
Latest of all kinds of courage Is per
haps that variety which the Ptl'u- of
Wellington used to call "tw o-o'clock-in-the-morning
courage."
There was the spirit of the finest
courage in the conduct of Captain
Oe-age Napier, who. being struck In
the breech al Cuidad Rodrigo. nt the
head of the storming party, his arm
rhat tired by a cannon ball, kept cheer
ing nnd directing his men us he lay
bleeding and helpless, trodden on, buf
feted by the chntging soldiers. He
would not have him-icli' removed until
he heard the place was won. and then,
with his sash binding his arm, he
walked quietly to the amputating
place, wailed his turn, and had to lis
ten to tho discussion of a point of
etlo.ilitte between two surgeons as to
which of them was entitled to perform
on him.
That was con! daring i n the part of a
rough Irish private !n the Peninsular
war who, when a thirteen-inch shell fell
In the crowded work, knocked out the
burning fuse wbh a blow of his spade,
picked up the shell ami carried It to his
ollicer, with the quaint remark: "There
tho is now. your Honor. She'll do no
body any hai m now, for Its mesllf has
knocked the life out nv the crature!"
Who does not remember the noble
stole courage and discipline of those
reel uits who stood In their ranks on
the deck of the Rirkenliend troop ship,
waiting for the Inevitable denth that
was Imminent, while the women and
childien were being saved?
A I it-it on myself, 1 have ties with the
gnat republic, and for that reason I
cherlr.It the knowledge of some nets of
courage of the stninp I pneclally ad
mire, performed by Americans acts
which probably nre not wlib-ly known
nmong the countrymen of those brave
men. it was In the late Admiral John Rod
gers' lirst action in the CaleP". O-M i
shell crashed into the turret In which
he was with the gunners, and half
smothered him with the blood and
brains of an adjacent sailor. Others
were struck down by the explosion, and
mid pnnii- was setting In. Its pro
gress Rodgers stayed, not, however, by
angry voice nnd loud objurgations, but
by thi quiet, riiminntive. half-corn-plaining
remark, as he wiped his be
spattered face: "And they told me
tliis-i- things were shell-proof!" Thi
utterance and the manner thereof ap
pealed to the ever-alert American
sense of humor. The gunners rallied
and renewed the tight.
A CHIVALROUS DEED.
On another occasion, I think when his
ship, the Wechawki-n, was in acllon
with the Conlederate Ironclad Atlanta,
Pudgem, having gone below for a mo
ment, found a man of the turret crew
wandering about between decks. When
challenged to answer for cowardice
in deserting his post, the man made
no reply and was put in Irons by Cup
tain Rodtrers' orders.
The light over and tho Atlanta a
prize, one of his ollicers, entering his
cabin, represented to him that the man
was no skulker, but on the contrary,
one of the best men on the ship, who
had been daz--d and stunned by the
Impact of a hostile missile on the tur
ret, agalni'.t the Inside of which he had
been leaning: that he had b.-en or
dered below, and that when challenged
by the commanding ollicer he had not
yet recover; d from Hip shock.
Rodgers ordered that the man should
he Immediately nnlroned, nnd at quar
tern next day, when olllcers nnd ship's
company were mustered, he thus curt
ly but pointedly addressed the sailor:
"Aly man. I called you a coward yes
terday. 1 find I was mistaken, and,''
lifting his cnii. "I beg your pardon."
Surely, than this no commanding of
ficer ever did a nobler nnd more gal
lant act. nnd one can well believe that
for n chief so li.ynl In his manhood to
his fellow-citizens, so generous and
whole-souled In owning his error, the
Wei hawken's crew would have died to
a man.
It is remarkable with whnt different
sentiments commands r-gard the ef
forts of their subordinates to gain re
nown. Lord W'olseley, for example, would
have everv ollicer burn to seize every
opportunity to obt-iin personal distinc
tion. Steady old Lord Clyde, on tin
other hand, held th't an objection to
the Victoria Cross was its incentive !
"a ide.i-ile-ennip and staff oilicers to
place themselves in peomin -nt posi
tions for the purpose of attracting at
tention." And he continue!!, "To such,
I If. j is of little value as compared with
the gnln of public honor, but their con
duct Is a cm I injustice to other gal
lant ol'.ieers, who, In all the excitement
of action, have Important, responsible,
nnd self-abnegatory duties to per
form." I have seen Sl.ob leff dash Into the
turbulent heart of half a dozen action:,
conspicuous nbove nil men by the
white c-ont he wore nnd the white
charger In- hertrnde. and I have seen
him stand on the parapet of our earth
work for nn lu-ur at a time, the target
for a henvy Are. Those things seem
to savor of sheer reckl -Fsness, but they
were done in the Intensity of devotion
to a purpose, that purpose being to
gain prestige, to inspire his m-n with
confid nee to follow whither he led, to
stimulate them to daring: by the force
of example.
Te worked for result"-, nnd he mostly
attained them; when he failed It was
for no want of endeavor to succeed.
I Tow he strove Is vividly described in
Jlaofin nan's powerful etching of him
returning from nn effort which filled
for want of support. Your gifted and
lamented countryman wrote:
"He was In n fearful state of excite
ment nnd fury: his uniform was cov
ered wi'.h blond nnd mud: his sword
brokfn; hln c'roFs of St. Heorge twisted
round over his shoulder; h's face black
with powd er nnd smoke; his eyes hag
gard e.rd bloodFhot, nnd his voice quite
gone. I never Faw such a picture of
battle as he presented."
KkobcDfr was striving for victory, for
eclat, for promotion: for dispelling the
cloud under which he unjustly lay. His
motives were partly patriotic, partly
personal.
Rut much ns I admired that singular
ly brave man, there was in my heart a
warmer glow on that summer after
noon on the plain of TTludi. when I saw
Lord William Reregford w,:oel his pony
and gallop back to the succor of a fal
len trooper around whom the Zulus
were already poising their assegais;
saw him alight, hustle the wounded
man up into hlB saddle, fending off the
Zulus with the revolver grasped in
(-pure hand, clamber up behind his man,
and with a dig of the spurs set the
game little beast a-going after the oth
er horsemen.
That was pure, unselflsh, devoted,
gallant chivalry, concerning which, as
behooved a self-resiecting soldier, he
kept si I- nee. It was because 1 went
ami told the story to Sir Evelyn Wood
that Reresford got the Victoria Cross;
atul, indeed, he declined the honor were
It not accorded also to the soldier who
hud aided him in keeping the wounded
man in the saddle during the retreat.
This picture of work of Meresford's I
account "the bravest deed I ever saw;"
and I should have made it the topic of
this contribution, but that t have al
ready described it fully in print.
AN EXAMPLE OF RRAVADO.
Of a very different type of courage
was the conduct of Wigrain Rutty, a
distinguished Indian ollicer who was
my companion with the lfttle garrison
of Saarbrucken. nt the beginning of the
Franco-Herman war.
On the 2d or August, the dny of the
poor 1 VI nee Imperial's "baptism of
tir-," came pouring clown on the little
town Frossard's divisions from the
Spichorcnbc rg. The cieinun battuhoa
slowly quitted. As the last detach
ment cleared out from the earthwork
it had been holding, u man was shot
clow n.
Ratty, who had been chafing nt the
withdrawal, "got mad," caught up the
fallen man's riile and pouch, ran out,
dropped on or:o knee, and started a
lively fusllade against Pougct's French
brigade. Pougct's brigade responded
with cheerful promptitude, and Rutty
presently was howled over.
His reckless freak would have cost
him his life without benefit of clergy
had he, a neutral citizen In arms, be-n
caught by the French, and it gave to
a Herman professor and myself the
trouble of going out and fetching him
In, mending him, and sending him off
to hospital.
Rutty fell fighting ravely in Afghan
istan, a country In which it mutters
nothing whether you ere neutral or
belligerent. Rut for the excellent
adage, N'il nisi bonum de mortuis, I
should stylo his conduct at Saarbruck
en reckless beyond measure.
Some instances of serviceable expo
sure to danger In cold blood, under
taken without any incentive beyon-1
the impulse to avert calamity, ars In
my memory, nnd one of them 1 may
relate. The scene was Oeneral Tcher
naleff' s headquarter camp at Deligrad,
In Upper Sei via. in the summer of PIT'S.
The huts of the camp surrounded a
square area, through one corner of
which passed a small stream. It warf
near dusk and the staff, having fin
ished dinner in the school room, which
served ns a nicti.-) room, were sitting
smoking on the rein- veranda. Sud
denly there came a loud cry of "Fir-1!"
nnd men were seen rushing away In all
directions.
We nil hurried through to the front,
the rush led by a couple of English
man. In the center of the open space
! stood a wattled hut, roofed in with a
Hat covering of wattled hurdles. Would
It be believed that this structure was
tho powder magazine of the Deligrad
force?
Yes, during the clay T had seen men
at work filling the powder bngs to be
used as charges for the cannon fillip;?
them from open powder barrels, which,
when the work was clone, were simply
covered loosely with canvas.
Reside the powder In the barrels and
In the charge bag, there was a quan
tity of Remington cartridges, partly
In cases, partly In loose heaps. There
was not even a sentry on the hut. I re
membered thinking It the most danger
ous place I had ever seen.
And now sparks carried by the wind
from some cooking lire, or swept from
cme of the Innumerable clgnrettes con
stantly being smoked, had fallen on
the rootling hurdles, nnd they, as dry
as tinder, were kindling Into Isolated
libi'.ing tongues.
The two Englishmen were running
toward the hut at top speed. They
then diverged. One headed for the wa
ter, the other held straight for the hut.
clambered up Its wattled side, reached
the roof und set about beating out and
throwing down as far nway as possible,
the blazing hurdles. His comrade had
filled a bucket and was swiftly carry
ing It to the man on the roof of the hut.
The Russian olllcers of Tehernaielt's
headquarters caught up the Idea, ran
toward tho stream, and formeu a chain,
but the long link next the hut was al
lowed to be constituted by the comrade
of the man on the roof. His danger,
spite of the bucketsful of water which
reached him from time to time, seemed
imminent.
With every hurdle thrown down his
footing became the more precarious.
Sparks dropping from the wattling had
Ignited the cartridges, which were pop
ping off with the noise und smoke of a
respectable F-kirmlsh. It seemed im
possible but that the bngs and barrels
should catch a spark, and then well,
there could be but one ending.
The trouser legs of the man nn the
roof were smoulderlnc, but still he
worked on. A few moments more and
half of him disappeared; his nether
limbs had gone through the thinned
roof, but he held on to the top of the
wattled wall, and poured down buck:t
al ter bucket.
At length he succeeded In quenching
the fire and stopping the explosion of
the cartridges. The door was opened
and more water poured in. Then the
mini on the roof came dow n therefrom,
barelegged to the thigh, his hands,
nrms and lowed limbs a good deal
burned and studded with blue pu, viler
murks.
The comrades declined the Takooa
cress tendered by Tchermiieff and
asked me not to write about the epi
sode. 1 nm sure they would not like
that I should now mention their names.
