An Unarmed Regiment's Charge.
From the Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal: While they were In camp, before
the battle of Murfreesboro, the For-
ty-fourth Mississippi regiment, more
familiarly known among the men as
Blythe's brigade, was separated from
the camp on account of the measles.
In order to equip recruits that were
constantly coming in with the sorely
needed guns the Forty-fourth was prac-
tically disarmed, the intention being
to arm them later on with guns ex-
pected from the rear. About this time
the Federals began the movement from
Nashville which broyght on Uie cele-
brated battle at Murfreesboro, and
wbsn the brigade was ordered into po-
rtion «o effort was hastily made to
arm the Forty-fourth, who had now re-
covered their health, with the old
M.iooth-bore muskets. These the regi-
ment flatly declined to have, and were
then told that they would have to go
into the fight without arms. This they
did, and when the order to charge was
given went yelling and barehanded
across the field, but as soon ag a fallen
foe—or friend, either—was spied he
was promptly relieved of his gun and
accoutrements. So that by the time
tjhe battle was over the men were near-
ly all well armed with the new Spring-
field rifles.
War Hatha.
A Tennessee veteran, reading the ad-
vice to drink End bath in. boiled wat*r,
to bathe the feet at the end of 15. niarch, |
to change the underwear daily, writes
to his nearest paper to remark that
when he was with the column that
struck John Morgan's command on the
Cumberland in July, 1863, and headed
that gallant raider off from Buffington
Ford he did not find opportunity to
take off his clothes for sixteen days.
Cricket's Chirp.
The chirp of the cricket depends
somewhat on the temperature. If the
thermometer is 60 degrees, the cricket
chirps 80 times a minute; if it is 70
degrees, then 120 times a minute; that
is, 4 times more for each additional de-
gree pver 60 degrees. If there is a very
hot time prevailing, the crlcaev'g song
is very rapid, and his chirps will run to
160 times * minute.
One of the Unfortunates.
Chicago News: Gladys—I'm awfully
sorry war has broken out. Fannie—
Why? None of your friends has had to
go. Gladys 1 know, but it is said that
the seaside resorts are all to be de-
serted this summer, and I bought a
remnant of a yand and a half of goods
a couple of weeks ago that would have
made up into a beautiful bathing suit.
