An Irish Bull at Bull’s Run — 398
An Irishman, who was at the celebrated battle of Bull’s Run, was somewhat startled when the head of his companion on the left was taken off by a cannon-ball. In a few minutes, however, a spent ball broke off the finger of his comrade on the other side. The latter threw down his gun and howled with pain, when the Irishman rushed upon him, exclaiming, “You owld woman, sthop cryin’! You are making more noise about it than the man who just lost his head!”
