Major Annie Jones. One of the personage about Wash ington daring the war was Annie Jonea, who originally professed to have ran away from a boarding school in Boston to "follow the drum," and who attached herself to the headquarters of General JStahel, the commander of a German bri gade. A flippant talker, the ingra tiated nereelf into the favor of the General, and received an honorary appointment as a member of his staff, and as a Major Jones " became an institution in the army. She ate with the General, drank with the General, rode with the General on all of his hazardous foraye, chatted with the General, nursed the Gener al when be was sick. Touch t the Gen eral's battles when she heard bint aspersed by jealous understrappers, and when night drew the starry flag over the her vens, she slept with her beloved colored maid in the next little tent, which the General had assigned her. She thus lived and flourished. Her orders were wont to be obeyed, because she was rec ognized as a staff officer. She al ways had the countersign, and could pass the pickets at pleasure. She was f aid to be a girl of great dash and daring, and would frequently venture out beyond the outposts and for days watch the movements of theeoerny, and bring in hole budg ets of information from the rebel camps as proof of her stewardship and ehrewdnera. Every one knew Maior Jones : officers would doff their bats, and privates would 6tand at full present " as she rode by in military feminine dignity. The vis iting officers from other commands were introduced to Annie and ad mired her. and she reigned supreme as the " she-major of cavalry. When General Hooker marched into Maryland and Stabel was re lieved, Miss Major Annie joined her fortunes with the young and gallant Custer, with whom she remained, retaining her rank and title until a general order from army headquar ters rendered it necewary for him to dispense with Ler valuable services, and the Major was compelled to seek for a iield of usefulness else where. For a lew days she wander ed about the camp, having no par ticular abiding place or continuing city, until Colonel Sharpe, ther, act ing Provost Marshal General, thought the interests of the service required that she should be removed to Washington. Accordingly, a pass was granted her to travel as far as the military railroad would carry her, and a sergeant of the Ninety third New York was detailed to ac company her, to guard against any accident on the way. Arriving at Washington she stopped at the Kirk wood House, where she some times appeared in stall uniform, and then in fashionable female attire. It was believed that she was a Con federate spy in the Union secret service. Another devoted' friend of. the Confederates, who resided just out side of the Union lines in Virginia, managed to fascinateGeneral Stough ton, a young West Pointer, and one evening while he was serenading her, be, with his band of orderlies, were surprised and sent as prisoners of war to Richmond. 44 1 dont mind losing the Briga dier, for they are easily made," said Mr. Lincoln, in talking about the capture, "but there were twenty horses taken which cost ?125 each." Horton Budget. IAncoln as an Advocate. Lincoln was, upon the whole, the strongest jury lawyer in his State. He had the ability to perceive, with almost intuitive quickness, the de cisive point in the case. In the ex amination and cross-examination of a witness he had no equal. He could compel a witness to tell the truth when he meant to lie, and if a witness lied be rarely escaped ex posure under Lincoln's cross-examination. He could always make a jury laugh, and often weep, at his pleasure. His legal arguments ad dressed to the judges were always clear, vigorous and logical, seeking to convince rather by the applica tion of principle than by the citation of cases. A stranger going into court when be was trying a cause would, after a few moments, find himself on Lincoln's side, wishing bim success. He seemed to mag netize every one. he was so straight forward, so direct, so candid, that every spectator was impressed w:th the idea that he was seeking only truth and justice., lie excelled in the statement of his case. However complicated,, he would disentangle it, and present the real issue in so simple and clear a way that all could understand. - Indeed, his statement often rendered argument unnecessary, and frequentlv the court would stop him, and say, If this is the case, brother Lincoln, we will hear the other side. His illus trations were often quaint and home ly, but alwavs apt and clear, and often decisive. He always met his opponents case fairly and squarely, and never intentionally misstated law or evidence. ' A Fortunate Discovery.

Tables Turned on Beecher. Zion'n Herald tells the following story, which was related at the Lev. Henry ard lieecher s expense : In one of his lectures he referred, as he is accustomed to do, to a domestic scene which occurred when he was a boy in Litchfield, Conn. His fa ther was one day visiting a parish ioner, and noticed in his pasture a particularly fine looking calf. Re ferring to its excellent qualities the farmer, knowing the animal, said: " Dr. Beecher, you may have that calf if you can catch him. The min ister at once accepted the challenge, and when Lyman Beecher set for himself a task, he usually accom plished it Without much reference to ministerial dignity, he succeeded in running the call down. Tying his legs, he carried him home in his wagon, and placed him securely in the barn. Telling the family of the adventure, Henry started for the barn to see the frisky animal. ltb the usual carelessness of a boy, he permitted the calf toescap j from the barn. His father, seeing from the house the condition of things, start ed hatlesg alter the fugitive calf. Here Henry Ward stopped a mo ment to recover the application he nronosed to make, when a nerson arose in the audience and said, with a startling voice : " Henry ard Beecher, that is just what you have always been doing letting loose what your father carefully and wise ly kept shut up 1" This was an un expected but apt application, great ly appreciated by the audience. Bismarck In England. It is very seldom that the chan cellor has a good word to say about the English. t ben he has, it is to point out some Teutonic virtue which they possess to a less degree than the Germans.

Clarence Chipp lives in bachelor apartments, says a New York paper, in Seventy-sixth street, near Fourth avenue. He is a large man, with a ferocious appearance and meek dis position. Indeed, the disparity be tween appearance and character led hie friends playfully to call bim the "sport." Mr. Chipp rather gloried in this title, and in his own estima- be attended the Sullivan exhibition and grew so enamored of the " man ly art that he purchased a pair ol boxing-gloves, a pair of loils, some Indian clubs, and a rowing-machine. After carefully learning the names of each, he decorated ' the walls and corners of bis apartment with them. One day while Mr. Chipp was sit ting admiringly amid his athletic surroundings, a friend dropped in. " Elegant gloves, Chipp," be said, looking with great interest at the decorations. " Yes," answered the 'sport,' care lessly, as he took them down. "I'm rather fond of them. They saw lots of service years ago." And then be proceeded to explain the mystery ot patent thumbs, and other improvements. " Let's put them on, Chip." " I guess not to-night I'm not feeling well." " Yes," urged the other, "just for a few minutes." " I might hurt you," said the ferocious-looking man, gloomily, " be sides, you're a email man, and don't look strong. "Never mind," said his friend, getting ready. Mr. Chipp saw no escape. With the greatest trepidation he put on the gloves, and began to wave hie hands, as he remembered Sullivan had done. He doesn't recollect distinctly what happened after that, but as he emerged from behind his trunk, he said in a faint voice : " Perhaps we had better stop now." His friend said they hadu't be gun yet, but the " sport " was firm, and when bis visitor departed he began removing his decorations. The next morning the servant found four boxing-gloves, two foils, two Indian clubs and a rowing-machine outside Mr. Chipp' door, and upon them this label : " To be thrown away." Ur. Lewis on "Our Digestion." Biliousness is a sort of respectable cover for piggishness. Eeader.are you bilious? Let me prescribe for you. First, on getting up and going to bed drink plenty of cold water. Eat for breakfast, until the bilious at tack passes, a little stale bread, say one slice, and a piece half as large as your hand of boiled lxutton or beef. If the weather is warm, take instead a little cracked wheat or oatmeal porridge. For dinner take about the same thing. Go without supper. Exercise freely in the open air, producing perspiration, once or twice a dav. In a few days your biliousness is all gone. This reult will come, even though the bilious ness is one of the Spring sort, and one with which you have, from year to year, been much afflicted. Herb drinks, bitter drink, lager beer, ale, whiskey, and a dozen other such Spring medicines are eimply bar barous. I had a friend, a lawyer, who once or twice a month had an attack of bilious headache, and sometimes was obliged to ask the postpone ment of an important suit At last, tired and disgusted, he came to me and asked if nothing could be done, for really it was getting to be the torment of his life. I told him how to eat and drink and exercise, and promised him if he would follow my prescription he should never have another bilious sick headache. My prophecy proved true as to two or three years, but after a time he got back into the ale, strong coffee, sausage, melted butter, and other abominations, and of course his old headache. But he knew the rem edy, and when it became too hard to bear he fell back upon the pre scription, and has never failed to ob tain relief. A great many persons seem to be quite willing to suffer a constant de pression, constant indigestion", with its innumerable torments entirely willing to suffer all this for the mo mentary pleasure of slipping down their throats something that tastes good. I can think of nothing else which so strikingly exhibits man's undeveloped condition. Is it not funny to see a dyspeptic whose life is one of unbroken torture, who wishes himself dead, who aever has a good nighty sleep and never a single happy, social hour, whose en tire life is a failure, both as to en joyment and usefulness, but who, three times a day, shovels into his stomach a quantity of hot, greasy, indigestible trash, to keep up the flame, producing and reproducing the fuffering? lr.

Silence 18 a Sign Of Wisdom. Hantlnc Wild Turkeys. Hunting the wild turkey is con sidered very good sport, but as they are only ic season during the cold months it requires a bunter of en durance to- find them. In the mountains they have a curious way of getting a shot After building a "blind" of boughs to hide behind, the hunter throws a quantity of grain upon the ground within easy ?;unshot, and drops a few grains in ines radiating probably for a hun dred yards in every direction through the woods. There is then a plan on the ground like the bub and spokes of a wheel. Early in the morning the wandering flock of turkeys will find one of these spokes and run along it eating as they go, until tbev reach the feast of com at the hub. This is where the hunter is concealed, and you can imagine the rest Another device for luring them within gunshot is the turkey call, a sort of whistle made often from a wing bone, and with which the voice of a turkey can be very well imitated. The male birds answer the call and gradually approach, amid breathless interest on the part of the sportsman, until bang, bang I off go both barrels, and it freqnent happens, off go the turkey with only the loss of a few feathers. The gobbler is an ill-natured fel low, and will break up his wife's nest and smash the eccs every time he c-ets an onnortunitv. Worst of all h kills the young, and not alone of his own family, but also of his neighbors. This" teaches mother turkey to hide her nest away and to guide her young so they will not be discovered by the male. The in stinct clings to them in domestica tion and they require clot-e watching to prevent the nests from being hid den away. Preserving His Repntation. He had been liv:ngon crusts and apple-cores and the remains of free lunchs for weeks, and the best bed he could scare up was a box half full of musty straw. He was beg ging nickles of pedestrians yester day when a gentleman took him in to a restaurant and said to the pro prietor: "Here, give this man some soit of meal. I euppoeu be will be glad to fill up on most anything." When the waiter approached to receive his order the tramp said : "Now, then, make me a nice piece of toast, browned evenly on both sides, and bring it here with quail on it. I want my beef-steak rare rare, mind you, and if you have any genuine Mocha coffee you may make me a cup.:' The waitar went off and brought in a gliss of milk and some corn beef and bread, and the man shoved it back and left the plaee with the remark : "I had an idea when I came in here that there wasn't any style about this place. Some folk don't seem to know the difference between a hash house and a banquet hall." When the average American won't kick there is something about him that ought to be investigated. Free Pre. Fees For the Garter. Among the miscellaneous votes which will shortly come before the Houee of Commons, is an item of some S00 for expenses connected with the admission ot Prince George of Wales to the Order of the Garter. The fees amount to about il400, and the remainder of the charge is for the extravagant and quite useless "outfit" of a royal knight Last year similar payment was made for Prince Albert Victor. I do really think that when members of the royal family are created Knights either of the Garter or any other or der the expenses should be paid by themselves, or at least Parliament ought not to be asked to defray the outlay; for it is altogether monstrous that the taxpayers should bave to Fay for such costly puerilities, and know that these sentiments are not confined to Radicals, but are fully shared by many Tories. Why too, should a number of harpies re ceive 400 in fees each time a per son is allowed to wear a piece of blue ribbon across his shoulder and a garter on his leg ? London Truth . He Wanted to Slaughter Arabs. A rather good story is told at the expense of a gallant General com manding one ol tbe knglih districts. At the time when the Sn - akim expedition was being got ready he was summoned by telegram to London. No appointment as Com-roahder-in-Cbief of the Suakira forces had as yet been made, and he went to the War office full of high hopes. These hopes were further raised by the first words the Duke said to him. "I have sent for you, Gen. , to ask whether you are prepared to take command of " The General's face beamed in an ticipation of the high honor about lo be confined upon him. "The. command," went on the Duke quiet-j ly, "'of the volunteers at the Bright-1 on review T J. oeneve the now dis appointed General declined the honor. What made the disappoint ment the more bitter was that this gallant officer had, as a matter of fact, been talked of for thb Suakim command, and he knew it; but the selection was not approved of in certain high quarters.
