At a meeting held by our military
company, the Kiug Light Infantry,
it was decided that each member
purchase his own uniform, and in
all probability, will send for them
in the near future, as the color of
uniform and price of same have been
agreed upon. The company is pro-
gressing nicely. Guns have been
promised and they will no doubt
make a success of their undertaking.

management of tho popular Mr. Jno.

Cultivators, cotton and and corn

Confederate works, just above the fort
which Butler blew up and which has since
been known as the Crater, tho most effec-
tive cannon was silenced for two days by
a Federal sharpshooter who ensconced
himself only a stone's throw away. I do not
know that the one marf held the place for
two night3 and two days, but we judged
eo from the style of firing, and because
when wo were finally rid of him no ono
elso took his place. He crept out from
the Federal line in a dark and rainy night,
dug a rifle nit, banked up tho dirt around
hit, and killed'two rtiir men between
' "dag$m$ andjfrhrtee. Bfehad a sixteen
Shooter riftfevlnd ho gave'aH his attention
to one embrasure iu the fort arid before
noon tho piece of artillery at that em-
brasure was silenced. ,
A round dozen. Confederate sharp-
shooters were detailed to kill tho fellow
ofT, but ho would not be killed. The dirt
was knocked about hjs ears in perfect
clouds by bullets, and now and then a
picce of filled artillery .sent a shell plow-
ing along over him; but he was there to
stay. When night came wo intended to
creep out and kill or make him a prison-
er. but lo! a whole company was la-ought
up and stationed in the ravine just be-
hind him, where their firo wo lid sweep
tho field around his pit, and v e had to
turn to some other plan. Ho tos there
in the morning, and ho killed one man
and wounded a second before 8 o'clock.
Three pieces of light artillery played on
his pit until the guns had fired a dozen
shells eaeb. but lie was unharmed. It
was plain that he had dug his pit so deep
and narrow that everything from our side
must pass over it, and it was certain that
we must try some other plan. Had he
been without close support three or four
men could' have solved the problem
pretty quick, but there were sharpshoot-
ers by the hundreds in his rear, and that
rear so close that not a hat could show
above our works without being made the
target of a dozen bullets.
By noon of tho second day we had had
four men killed and five wounded by one
Yankee sharj>shootor. and the colonel
commanding had offered a $20 geld
pieco to any one who would finish him
off. Ho might have made it $20,000 for
all wo could do, as everybody had cud-
geled his brains in vain for a plan. It
was at)out 5 o'clock in tho afternoon that
a corporal belonging to rome field
artillery stationed a mile or so above us
o:i the lines came down to see a relative
of his. and when the situation had been
explained to him and he had looked over
tha ground he said:
"Give me an hour's time and I'll have
him out and win that gold piece."
lie returned to his command and se-
cured half a dozen small fuse shells be-
longing to a mountain howitzer which
was then in park as of no account.
When they were brought up ho made a
sling from the leather of a boot leg and
two stout cords and then gathered a
dozen stones to practice with. While he
flung these stones one of ttyc-men timed
their fall, and in this way ho knew how
to cut the fuses. The fifth rock, flung
high in the air on a curve, as a mortar
would throw it, fell so close to the sharp-
shooter's pit that tho corporal was satis-
lied. Ilo then cut his fuses and l>egan
throwing lighted shell. Tho weight of
them was a!unit thirteen ounces, and
while they did not fly as high as the
rocks, tho curve was the same. Wo
wero all satisfied as to what tho result
would be. The fourth shell dropped
square into the pit and exploited n it
struck, and in tho cloud of dirt blown
out was tho sharpshooter's cap, the stock
of his rifle and his canteen. Not another
shot was fired from the pit, nor dul any
Federal dare occupy it again.—"Ex-

"It's what thee'll spend, my son," said
a sago old Quaker, "not what thee'il
make which will decide Whether thee u
to bo rich or not." <
John Jacob Astor used to say that a
man who wishes to l:o rich and has saved
$10,000 lias won half tho battle—is on
tho highway to fortune. Not that Astor
thought 010,000, much but ho knew that
in making and saving such a sum a man
acquired habits of prudent economy which
would constantly keep him advancing in
wealth. The habitual small expenses,
which we are liable to regard as mere
trifles, amount in the aggregate to some-
thing serious. Ten cents a day is §88.50
a year, and that is tho interest on a cap-
ital of $000: so that tho man who saves
ten cent3 a day only ia so much richer
than ho who iloe3 not, as if ho owned a
lifo estate ia a property worth $000.—

A uprightly Frenchwoman, driving
down Prondway lately, said: "Every
man wo meet looka 04 it ho liad gono out
to borrow trouble, with plenty of it on

scholar who visited this country, ob-
served the same peculiarity in the r.a%
tional temperament. "Tho Ame^1cRri9
