The engineer on the rsvisencer i When tbe Washington artillery was t Morgan City, there were many sink ing Incidents that sprang out of tbe err- emoulee of dedicating Port Mar and of ractlcli.g with the solid shot The whole day the war and Its memories wera kept before the js-ople, but it was not a reawakening in which tbe Moody shirt bad any play, but more of a thoughtful retrospection, in which tbe recalling of bultlis waa not with bitter ness, bnt with an imtrtial aadiiea. Among the happening of the day none was more singular and noteworthy than one which occurred to Colonel Richard son, the commander of the battalion. It was during the time when tbe bat teries were flnng shell at the two tar gets, which looked like tiny handker chiefs on the water, they were so far way. A good shot was fired, and tha spectators were applauding the excellent marksmunaliip, and the colonel stcpjied np to the gun to commend the gunner, when without cause or without knowing why tbe memory of a similar shot which bad been fired W years ago almost to tha very day flashed into bis mind when be bad stepped up to a gunner and compli mented him iu much the same stylo. It was when he was at Fort Malone at tha siege of Petersburg, which wa known as Fort "Damnation," when the shot 29 years before bad been fired, and the Fourth of July was almost the anni versary of the very day. Instead of white targets for a mark it had been the tope of two Sibley tents which peeped over the ramparts of Fort "Hell," just opposite Fort "Dammit ion." They were the tents of the Federal officers. Ho knew that from a deserter who bad Informed bim, also that the officers of the whole command held a daily consultation there, and that be could tell the time from the fact that tbey hitched their horses around the tents. Colonel Richardson was then a cap tain In the Washington artillery, and ba conceived tbe idea of scoring a jwiiit on tbe Federal by firing on the tents just at the time of the daily consultation. tie selected the best gunner in his com mand and told bim whut be wanted him to do, and that waa to load and prepare the guns for a special shot which be was going to direct them to make the ensu ing day. The young captain was sure tbat be had gunners he could dclicud un ci, aud to make his triumph complete be asked eni ral Malone to bo present wuen me snots wero to be fired. It was noon the next day when the horses of he Federal officers were awn collected around the two tents. The gunners were told to train their gnus upon them ami to be certain to make their shots telL Those two shots were made the center of the interest of those in Fort "Damnation" for thut day. for the word was passed around that the de struction of the officers' touts was to be attempted. After a deal of preliminary arninifo ments the two shots were tired, aud the tojis of the two Sibley U-uts dl.-upieared like cardhoiiscs iu a gale of wind. The success of tho shots was tho signal for cheering on the part of the CoufodcraN s. Geucrul Malotiu complimented the ac curacy of the artillerymen, und it was then thut tho captain stepjicd to the guil tier and expressed bis approbation in much the Hume way that he used to the one that had made the good shot at Mor gan City, liut there had always been a tinge of dissutiafactlou about that shot at the Federal tents, and that was that he bud nover ascertained whether any one bad been hurt in the teuts, and for the 29 intervening years that one thought bad pervaded tho whole incident With these thoughts in his mind Colo nel Richardson turned away from the gunner at .Morgan City, and at thut mo ment one of Morgan City ' prominent citiiens, Mr. Oray, stopped to the colo nel's side and said: "Isn't this Colonel Richardson?" -Yes." "Well, I have been wanting to meet you for many years, ever since I heard you had been in Fort Damnation' at the same time that I waaiu Fort HelL'" "Yes?" said the colouel. "aud when were you in Fort 'Hell?'" "In July. 1S0L In fact. Just 28 years go today." answered Mr. Oruy. Tbe colomd instuntly thought of those two shots and wondered if bis curiosity was to be satisfied. "Do you remember day while you were opiswite me in port 'Hell' when the tents of the officers Wera taken down by two shots whicb wera almost simultaneous?" Tha stranger did not n-ply for a full minute. A shadow seemed to fall over hira, bis eyes grew dark, and ba stepped back and surveyed thecolouel from head to foot Then he broke out feelingly: "D n you! I shall never forget those hots. They swept away the flower of my corps. My first lieutenant was killed, and the leg of my second lieutenant was hot off. and five others were killed. And aid you tire that shot?"
