f HELEN BLAZES f JtllS l nlory of mare (bat made ber rcpuaition during the weeks almost incrssunt fighting before Petersburg and Bermuda Hundred. Eho lost brr life In a scrimmage in . which the wae nearly the whole thing, for (be had a way of taking metiers into ber own control and carrying her rider into the thickest of the fight, v whether he liked it or not. She wot such a warrior herself that when she got worked up to the proper pitch she paid! do attention to bugle calls or orders, and alwnys started in to llirntb the enemy single handed. That was one reason why she whs called Helen Hliizes. But there was another ber temper. The name was cot spelled Just that way by the boys of the Third New York cavalry, but Jeb Smith, the man who rode her end the only ronn who ever could ride her wee a minister before the war broke out, so he chunged the aripina! three words of her nnme Into two, tbuk quieting bis conwlrnce and -atlsfytnp: "the boys" at the snme time. fihe isiis picked up one night on a scoulins expedition. Wink Tomklns bri'ugh' her jto crmp the next morn ing, and lie was a sight. You could bear him swearing at lllnzes when they were mile awny, and between his curses and the laughter of bis companions, am the plunging and kicking, biting and striking of the mare aa they ap proached, it made a pretty sight for tired cavalrymen. "There, by thouderl" aald Wink. "I've landed her here, 'coa I said I would. The fellow that con ride her, can linve her, for all I cure," and he pitched the lead rope to me. lllar.es was a beauty, there was do de nying that, and old McNamnra our eaptuin had his eye on ber from the moment he saw ber. Well, there's no use In describing afl thnt happened then. It took six of us to get a saddle and bridle on her, and three out of the six were laid up until for duty fur a week after It; and after (hot she threw, one after another, pretty near the whole company. Nobody could ride her until .li b Smith came along. He had Just been relieved from guard and was tired, but when bis eyes lighted on the mare, be brlght ined up.1 he was a great lover of horseflesh. If he was I parson. The mare was stand ing Idle at that moment, as docile as a -. kitten, and nobody in the world would ' have guessed what devil there waa In ber, Tompkins drawled out! ; "Oct on her back, parson, and try ler." , . Mind you, there waa not one In the crowd who had not tried her, and who could not show a aubstantlnl bruise for his temerity. Hut the parson never caught 00 at all, and we all stood bock while he bunded bla piece to a com rade, and without a moment's hesita tion fl walked straight up to the mure and brgnn to rub her nose; and what 'a more, she seemed to like It. You could have purchased the whole company fur a very small sum at thnt moment, for we felt mighty cheap. We didn't know whether It waa Jugglery, or what It was, but tba fuct remained that the nr.nre did not treat blm aa aha bad treated us. "Say, parson," bawled Wink Tomp kins, "have you ever aeen the critter before 7" "Certainly not," waa tba calm reply. . "Why?" . "Well, I'm blowedl Btiya, there'i authin' In religion after all." While he was thus expressing him self, Jeb leaped Into the saddle, und In a moment mure he was riding around the, place as easy as you please. Mares single-footed, dog-trotted ifud can tered, nud you'd have thought she was a Chrlstmai-trce-rocklng-biirsc, for all the Ugliness she showed then, "Who owus her?" asked the parson, "You do, Jeb; you've earned ber," aald old Mac; and lie walked away with a scowl on bis face. Well, Jeb was delighted, nud he lis tened with amazement when we tuld Mm what a circus we'd breu having. It waa plain that he did not believe all of It, and presently he led ber uway to the stable, took the saddle off and tied ber. There waa outy a pole betweru the bones, and Jeb badu't got half way back' to where we were sitting, wheu ' there was the worst racket in that sta ble you ever heard, Youd hate thought the rebs were after us for the noise aiid tuuiulu The horses neighed and squealed and you could hear boards splintering and timbers falling. Illii7.es had kicked herself loose, laid up two horses, searrrd for life half dozen more, and pawed oer way right thruugh the back of that plnco to liberty. She was pointing for borne, too, when Jeb saw her. "Here, youl" be jelled, and she stopped and waited wiillo be went up nd caught her. Wo fixed up the atuble, but we passed a unanimous resolution thiit lllntcs couldn't tnrry there any more, so the parson louk her about 80 rods n u 11 y and tied her to a fence. Then lie gnve her ionic oats, and you'd baie thought she was the three graces rolli d In to cue she was so iiilel; but It didn't lust long. 6he finished her oats, am! innitie she got tired or thlivy, or mini 'thing Aiiy Low, she pulled any out' n imn u the fence, and broke loose liwn ti nt, und then she started foi the -1 .. t It I'.ilu.

Ii and another one so thai we Inn in kill blm, and she tore the clotl.t nil ill of a darky who tried to feed her one day; but it gut to be un old story after awhile, and ue didn't pay much attention. Nobody wilt ever forget tl,r first time he was seen in a tight. 1 ou'd have thought she was huiiiiiu. from thetense she showed, and a fiend incarnate from the wuy she fought. Our company had been out on a sor tie and we were on our way botne.every body giving Jeb and Diazes a wide berth, for she'd kick and bite every thing In reach 00 the rnnd us well as in tbe stable, when we came upon a de tachment of rebel ruvalry between us and home. They hud more men than we did, but there was only one thing to do, and that was to cburge and we did it. 1 was abreast of Jeb when we got the word, and I never saw anything made of flesh and blood do what Mazes did then. Jeb couldn't hold her any more than you could hold a cyclone, und the ran like a streak of lightning. Itf the.'IO or 40 rods between us and the confed erates she got more than two roils ahead of the reti of ns, so she struck the lice tirn. I'll bet she ruterul 311 feet at every jump, and filially she look uimiI miclity plunge into the air. nnil lauded plump in top of a Uiiifrc'riiite scrgeuni and his horse, kiimklng then both dow n us easily as she would a blade ol grass. She reared and plunged, struck with her forefeet, kicked with her hind ones, a nil she used her teeth like a Cigi r She'd grub a rebel horse by the ihiimi and tear out a mill k of llcsli; she'i) seize 11 man by the leg or II e 11 Mil. und pull Iiiin out of. the niilille m il tiiimple upon him quicker 1 ban ton i-nulil knock blm out with a nil nr. and rtirv time she hnd n chance she'll Jump imii t he uir and land right on top of horke arid rider, ond then bite and teur und'slrike ber way through or past the next one she met. 1 don't see how Jeb erer stayed on her back, but he did. and he came out with out a scratch, too. Nobody ever mnde fun of llln.es after that I1111t.l1, but hct grrntcM fiht mis tier Inn one. We'd been out on a scouting and for aging expedition nr.ri were nn our way back when we had that sm to. Then were only ten of lis. and we thought wi hnd got past the point where we wen likely to full in with any ribs, whet we saw a full company of confederal! cavalry come over the top of knoll not a quarter of a mile owuy. There w as no use for us to try to run. for we would only hnve run Into 1 tit I r lines, and there wasn't a man then who wanted to surrender, so wt yelled bnek and started to meet them, We came together, anil in a second we were nil mixed up.- They surround ed us like flies around a honey pot. We were so few that we could not keep together, and every man fought foi himself, regardless of the others. Still everybody could tell where lllnes n all the time, by the commotion she kicked up; and when in a Hpht like that one thing kicks up enough extra com motion to be noticed, you cao bet It's moving. I got a bullet through my right shout der and another one In my left arm. and I was brlpleas: and Just then niv horse got a saber clip on the side of his head which sent him cru.v, and somehow, he managed to kick himself out of the melee before be dropped, nhirh he did wltb one of my legs under him; but I was where I could see the fight, and I kept my eyes on lilnzes. Just as I discovered her, I saw Jeb Smith pitch head first out of his saddle, and I knew that the parson was crone for. Hlar.es seemed to know It, too. She had been wild before, but she became a perfect demon then. She must have known that she had no rider, and iwisl horses quit lighting when the man Is gone off from their bucks; but she didn't. She only got wilder and'weut In for veiigeiince. She no longer paid any attention to tbe borsrs, but she went for the men. nd w henrver she grubbed one f he liter ally tore him apart.

Then, when most of our men hnd gone down, and when practically all that there waa left for the rehs to fight nns (hut wild mare, there was another yell from the top of the hill, and I saw thrrr companies of our own men com ing to the rc.cne. The Jnhnnli s saw them, too, and they broke and ran, and as sure as I live, Ulnr.es started after them. She overtook the last man and seized blm by the shoulder, drngglng blm from bis hnrse to the ground. As he Ml he fired his pistol, and the shot went through ber heart, but she clung to her prey and her body fill Ucn the man who killed her. There were only three of us left Jive, out of the ten who went Into thnt fight, and we felt almost ns hndly about Marcs as we did about our comrades. Poor Ji b whs shot through (he head, and lever knew what struck blm. We burled film and the mare side by side, and there wasn't a dry eve In thecrond whin we did It. She did more light ing thnt day than the whole ten of us. and there were over 8u0 wounds nn her Udy when we found her. Huston Globe, ! A akin Hume. Miss Krrshlrlgh Can you tell me, Mr. tpirl lelgti.

One Indiana auurrvlsor Appolnta 1 Two Women lu Ills llUlrlet as Knnuiernlore. . Census Supervisor J. U. I'outch, of the New Albany (Intl.) district, hnsnp pointcd two female enumeriitors In his territory. One is Mrs. Kuih Kllcn Funk, of HurriHon county, and the oth er Miss Alia Hitter, of OrnngrviUe, Orange counly. Miss Hitter is at pres ent employed us a teucher in tiie pub lic schools of Kokoiuo, and is un ex ceptionally bi ight young woman, says local report, sirs. Funk served as enumerator when the census wns taken ten years ago, and her work was high ly satisfactory, III speaking of the mutter, Mr. I'outch said: "It has been demon strated that woman can do excep tionally good work ns an enumerator, as she is ut all times pnltiHtuking and careful, and her work is, as n rule, a model of neatness. You will also no tice that I hnve named a great many echool-tenchers for this work. The rea son for this Is, I suppose, duo princi pally to the fuct thnt the schools close just before the taking of the census begins, and the teachers make the ap plications In order to have something to do during the vacation. I sent sam ple blanks to all the applicants to be filled out, anil naturally the tcuchera were more successful than any others In filling these blanks, thus securing the appointments. "l'rnlinbly about 60 per cent, of the enumerators in the country are school teachers. At leust this in so In Indi ana, and, I suppose, lu other stales over t lie country. It requires much more care to make a successful enumerator than Is generally supposed, ami the supervisor is subjected to u great ninny trials and much trouble In remedying the defects, so thnt his position is not the pleasant anil desirable, one that many persons suppose."
