flonthera Wit la War.
As we nre reminded by the author of
"Four Years in Rebel Capitals, " the
South, as well as the North, needed to
exercise its sense of humor, whenever
that was possible, to carry it through the
terrible strain of the war. Some of the
puns, burlesques, and repartee of that
dreadful time have become locally his
toric. Colonel Tom August, of the First
Virginia, was the Charles Lamb of Con
federate war wito, genial and ever gay.
Larly in secession days a bombastic
friend approached htm with thequestion,
" Well, sir, I presume your voice is still
for war?"
"Oh, yes," replied the wit, "perfectly
still!"
Always to be remembered is General
Zebulon Vance's apostrophe to the rabbit,
flying by him from a heavy rifle fire :
Go it, cotton tail! If I hadn t a reputa
tion, I'd be with you!"
Equally forcible was the protest of the
Western recruit, ordered on picket at
Munson's Hill :
"Go yander tr keep em off! WV
weuns kem hyah ter fight th' Yanks, an'
ef youuns skeer 'em off, how'n thunder
ez thar goan' tor be a scrimmage, no
how?" City Point, on the James River, was
the landing for transports, with soldiers
released from Northern prisons on parole.
One day a most woebegone and emaciated
"Johnny" sat swinging his shoeless feet
from a barrel, awaiting his turn, when a
pompous Federal major remarked, to no
one in particular: "It isn't far t Rich
mond, "
'Reck'net's near onto three thousin'
mile," drawled Johnny weakly.
"Nonsense! You must be crazy!" re
torted the officer, staring.
"Wal, I ent a-reck nin' extract, was
the slow reply. "Jest thought so,
kinder. "
"Oh, you did! And why, pray?"
"'Cause it's took'n youuns nigh onto
foore year to git thar from Wash'n'ton, "
was the settling retort.
Florida's lbyrltfcl Waterways.
"Where have you been?" said a guest
at one of the hotels yesterday as a friend
walked up the steps, well laden with sou
venirs from south Florida.
Oh!" was the reply, "I've been down
to Charlotte Harbor and up that river
with the unmentionable name. "
" Caloosahatchee ? "
" Yes, that's it. I spent six days trying
to pronounce it and haven't succeeded
yet These Indian names are beautiful
names, but they are deucedly hard to
pronounce. By the way, where have you
been?"
"Well, I went over to the Suwanee
River, cut over the country, and shot
'gators on the Withlacoochee, fished for
bans in Tsala Apopka, sailed on Thono
tosassa, skipped overtoOkonlockhatchee,
walked by the shores of the Weohya-
kapka, plucked flowers by Hickpochee's
limpid waters, visited the sugar fluids on
Tohoikaliga, sailed on the tortuous Kis-
siinmee, was buffeted by the waves of
Okeechobee, and have also captured tar
pon on the Caloosahatchee, I also ex
pect to visit Istokpogayoxie, Lockapepka,
Hatchoneeha, and Ecautockhatchee be
fore I leave the State. "

he stepped into the hotel. Florida

THE COMING OATH F.RINO AT MT. GRETNA
TO BE THE LARGEST AND GREATEST
EVER KNOWN.
The American Farmers' Encamp
ment nt Mt. Gretna will be held this
year from August 1 6th to the ianrl,
and from what we already know, it
promises to lie one of the largest and
greatest exhibitions and farmers gath
erings ever before convened in this
country. Everybody who attended last
year's gathering at Mt. Gretna went
away pleased, ?nd those from other
States, who had never before been at
Mt. Gretna were delighted with the
place and its surroundings. This year
thirty acres of cleared space will be
added to the already . large area de
voted last year to the exhibition of ma
chinery, and it is confidently expected
that it will be occupied. Already in
quiries for exhibits are coming in rap
idly and in addition to those who were
there last year, who will greatly en
large and improve their exhibits, many
new ones will be there.
Mr.' Gretna, in itself is a great at
traction anil has become the famous
picnic grounds of eastern Pennsylvania.
During the summer al.nost daily there
are large excursions and picnics at this
place, and its adaptation for the ac
commodation of large crowds, is one
of its principal features. A hundred
thousand people do not crowd the vast
grounds. The State Encampment of
National Guardsmen is held here and
it has been pronounced by United
States Army officers, who with their
commands have encamped with our
Stat': troops, to be the finest camp
ground in the country. For such a
gathering as the Farmers' Encamp
ment, no better place than Mr Gretna
could be found. The mamiificent
grounds, large enough to accommo
date every demand, with pure moun
tain air, a dozen or more springs of
pure water, cold and refreshing, com
ing from the mountain side, with its
large auditorium and pavillions, its im
mense floor space for exhibits, its
shady walks, the gravity railway to the
top of Governor Dick, from which
point opens up a most magnificent
landscape view, all contribute to make
Mt. Gretna an attractive spot for such
a gathering as the great American Far
mers' Encampment. The place in it
self, as we have already said, is worth
a visit, but with the added attractions
next August, of thousands of farmers
from every section of our country, and
acre upon acre of agricultural machin
ery, etc., on exhibition, will form an
attraction such as perhaps has never
before been seen in this country.
There are ample railroad facili
ties to accommodate all who go and
come. There will be some great
speeches, and interesting events in ad
dition to the great exhibition, that will
form attractive features of the great
encampment.
Among the prominent men who will
be in attendance may be mentioned,
Hon. Jeremiah Rusk, Secretary of Ag
riculture ; Senator Pieffer and Con
gressman Simpson of Kansas ; Leon
ard Rhone, Master of the Pennsylva
nia State Grange, and Henry C. Snave
ly, President of the State Farmers' Al
liance, and others whose names will
be added as their acceptances are re
ceived. No effort on the part of the
management will be spared, not only
to make the encampment a success,
but the largest gathering of agricultur
ists and their friends ever before gath
ered in one place, and Mt. Gretna is
large enough to hold them all. York
