[17] A pack of cards Saves A life.--As an incident of the Bull Run fight, it is mentioned that a soldier of the First Connecticut regiment had a Bible in one pocket and a pack of cards in the other. A ball struck the pack, and when half-way through “begged” at the sight of an ace somewhere, thereby probably saving his life.--N. Y. Tribune, Aug. 5.
