PARSONS’ TWO FEATS,

A HARD STROKE AND A REMARKABLE RIDE DURING THE CIVIL WAR.

Cut a Man’s Head Off With a Saber—Rode Two Hundred Miles in Kighteen Hours. Other Instances of Decapitation In Bat- tle.

It is claimed by authorities on the art of war that the greatest blow of the riumpaign between Greece and Turkey was struck by Colonel MatX\moud Bey, who with one swift stroke of his sword completely severed a Greek officer’s head from his body. These same author-

| ities generously admit that this trick

may have been quite common in ancient times, when stalwart men swung heavy battleaxes, but they agree that it is practically unknown in modern war- fare.

History is silent on the subject. There is not a plethora of literature bearing pn its accomplishment. The original of all such stories 1s, of course, ‘‘The Ad- ventures cf Jack the Giant Killer,”’ which, for obvious reasons, does not help the subject. Scott describes a sim- ilar episode in ‘‘The Talisman,’’ but the best decapitetion stery, from an artistic point of view, is und in the memoirs of Captain John ‘Smith. The doughty captain vonches fon the veracity of the details, though that is no good reason why we should not \1se the cus- tomary pinch of salt. According to his truthful chronicle, be overcanys in tour- pament the three champior' of the Turkish army, decapitating yich ove with a single blow of his heavy ! sword.

A writer who is evidently i, formed on the subject claims that Michmond Bey could not bave accomplished the feat of decapitation with an ordinary saber and asserts that the Turk’s yata- ghan was “‘loaded’’ with quicksilver. The yataghan, he explains, is a short sword, shaped something like a butcher’s cleaver, with an apparently hollow tube runbing along the back from hilt to point. This tube carries a charge of quicksilver. Wher the sword is laid up- right, this quicksilver rests at the hilt. As a blow is struck the liquid metal is hurled down the grooved channel, lend- ing deadly additicnal weight to the blow.

The assertion made that this is the sole instance of its kind in the history of 100 years is not borne cut by facts. The same feat was performed during the civil war, uot witha ‘‘loaded’’ yata- ghan, but with an ordinary Unired States army saber. The man who wield- ed the sword in this episode, Colonel E. Bloss Parsens, died recently in Roches- ter. Colonel Parsons was one of the wealthiest and best known men in New York state, and though he had never related the story the details were found among his private papers after his death. The incident was illustrated and de- scribed in Harper’s Weekly at the time.

ft was in 1864. Celjonel Parsons, who was noted as a horseman, was attached to General Sheridan’s staff. While rec- onnoitering one @ay with a squad of troopers under General Davis they were surprised by a detachment of Confeder- ate cavalry. A pitched battle ensued, and Parsons, who was in the rear, saw a rebel officer level a revolver at Gen- eral Davis’ head. Jabbimg the spurs in- to his horse, he ewung his saber above his head, and, dashing by just as the officer fired, be made a terrific full arm sweep. The Confederate’s head leaped from the shoulders as swiftly as if it had been severed hy a guillotipe.

The Teat is i0ro remarkable when if 1s considered that Parsons was a slim, beardless fetlow of 21. In comparison Mabmoud Bey’s single slash with his yataghan loses much of its importgnce.

Colonel Parsons was brevetted gener-

al for distinguished services during the war, but characteristic modesty forbade the use of that title when he returned to civilian life. Not only did he per- form the only authentic feat of decapi- tation during the civil war, but he was the hero of a remarkable ride. A few days before the battle of Gettysburg was fought General Meade had an im- portant message to send to General Harding, 100 miles distant. As the route was through a country swarming with rebels, tho message was written tissue paper, that it might be swal- lowed in cuse the carrier was captured. [Tbe commander was in doubt regarding a suitable messenger. He summoned General Davis to headquarters.

‘‘General, who is the hardest rider, as well as the most trustworthy man, in che service?’ asked Meade.

‘“‘Colenel Parsons, sir,’’ prompt reply.

‘‘Send bim to me at once.”’

It was 6 o’clock on a Monday night when General Meade gave the young officer his instructions. He was to ride

vith all haste to General Harding’: headquarters and return at once wita an answer.

The messenger retired. Two hundred miles were to be covered. The roads were heavy, and they led through the enemy's country.

Exactly at noon on the following day Colonel Parsons’ entered General Mecde’s tent. The latter’s face grew >urple with rage, and he ripped out a string of oaths.

‘‘Is this the way you obey orders?’’ he thundered. ‘*What are you hanging “srouud camp for? You ought to be with teneral Harding by this time.”’

“I have just returned from General Harding, sir.”’

‘*You lie!’’ exclaimed the exasperated general,

Parson’s face paled, and he dug the nails in his hands to restrain himself. ‘*General Meade,’’ be said in a voice that ill concealed his anger, ‘‘if you were not my commanding officer, I would knock you down for that insult.’’

Without the formality of a salute he turned on his heel and left the tent. Meade afterward made an ample apol- ogy.

Colonel Parsovs killed two horses and went himself without a particle of food, For !8 bours he wes not out of the sad- dle.—Chicago Times-Herald.

Of all the nerve-tonics— bromos, celeries or nervines —your doctor will tell you that the Hypophosphites are best understood. So thor- oughly related is the nervous system to disease that some physicians prescribe Hypo- phosphites alone in the early stages of Consumption. Scott’s Emulsion is Cod-liver Oil, emulsified, with the Hypophosphites, happily blended. The result of its use is greater strength and activity of the brain, the
