RUkYING THE DEAD

A letter from the Crilnea thus describes
the scene Of burying the dead after the
battle of Inkermann:
Litter bearers, French and English,
clothed the, hillside, now toiling painful
ly up with heavy burden for the grave,
or with some subject for the doctors s
care, now hunting through the bushes
for the dead or dying. Our men have
acquired a shocking facility in their dis.
gnosis. A body is before you; there is
a shout, "Come here, boys, | see a Rus.
sian" (or" a Frcnchman.". or {" one Of
cur fellows.') One of the party comes
forward, raises the 'eyelid-if it be closed;
peers into the eye, shrugs his shoulders,
says quietly, " He's dead, he'll wait, =
aud moves back to the litter; others rull
the feet, and arrive at equally correct

ANECDOTE OF GENERAL SAN HoUSrON.
A correspondent from the interior writes
apropos Of this eminent gentleman, as
follows: .,. ..s,.. ...s
| think it was in the year 1916 or 1917,
| was then boy residing at Nashville,
Tenn, and was on such terms Of init
macy with Sam Houston as might exist
between boy Of sixteen and a man of
twenty four or five. Houston was then
a lieutenant of infantry. He had been
suffering from sickness, which put him
on his back for several days. Icalled to
see him. But" said he.
Il have been rejecting On the trifling
good for nothing life / lead, and L am
going to change it." "Well," said L,
"what character will you appear in next?"
81 will quit the army said be. Il will
study law. | will go to Congress.
will be Governor of this State, aud will
be President of the United States before
| die" OF curse, / could not refrain
from loud laugh at this, considering il
mere idle talk, which could scarcely have
the consistence of a dream in his mind.
Said be, ':you viii see; am quite seri-
Gus. | feel it in me-" ...,. "a
But few years before [ was aston
ished at the rapid accomplishment Of the
greater part of bis. predictions and he
has approached very near the fulflment
of the whole of them. 'sGlamis thou art
and Cawdor," and may be what he has
promised himself. &C. 'e'
The remarkable accomplishment of his
80, Il Il
mind over circumstances, and how much
may be accomplished by an indomitable
will and constant, untiring perseverance
in the pursuit of an object.
1 have related to you this incident with
rs much truth as recollection of nearly
forty years will permit me to do. 1t was
often brought to my mind by Houstonis
wonderfully successful career, and is quite
fresh In my memory.-New Orleans i ica-
