Of McClellan he told this incident, among a thousand: “The fire from the hill of Chepul- tepec was terrible. Fifty pieces of heavy artillery were massed against my four-gun battery at pomt-blank range, and in the yalley below a reg- iment ot lancers was forming for a charge. Our fire had been slackened and the men were lying down. A young man sat beside one of the guns amusing himselt with picking up pebbles and shooting them from his fingers. The lancers came nearer. I called to the young officer whom I had noticed, and he sprang up, sa- luting. ‘‘Your name?’* ‘*Lieutene ant George B. McClellan.’” ‘*Very well, Lieutenant, take command of one of these guns and disperse those lancers.’?, The gunners rushed to their pieces.

If roses are tear drops of angels, as’ the beautiful Arab belief puts forth in song and poetry, then was that lowly mound a hallowed spot, and needs not the sculptured stone, the tretted column, the ivy and the obelisk. Magruder was a wonderful man. He stood six feet four inches in height, and had a form which the men envied and the women adored. - His nerves were all Foreign travel and comprehensive culture had given to iis wit a zest that was always crisp and sparkling. He never lacerated. To the sting ot the repartee he added the honey of the clover. He could fight all day and dance all night.

He wrote little songs thet were set to music: one of them, Jmogene, had in it the plaintive repinings of a soldier-lover and the ead rhytha) ef burial bugles. In the Crimea he astonished the Freack officers by sleeping at the front with the Chasseurs under fire. In Mexico he sent back to the Arch- bishop a Jady’s perfumed glove he found in his palace when the city next I saw of McClellan he was smoking a cigarette in the palace of Santa Anna, his face as black as a powder keg, and an ugly wound in his arm.

The brave fond heart is pulseless now; the form of the stalwart soldier is dust in its far away grave. The laurels that he gathered and wore so well are faded and gone.

A white puff of smoke curled out from an open window, a sudden re- pert followed speedily, and Garnett and horse went down together. An ownce ball, intended for Scott, had brokea Garnett’s thigh and killed his mortal, and theretore he is foreor- dained to happiness after death.
