and sitting comfortably in a large rocking chair,
looking rather pale to be sure, and wearing COW
sring over the left eve. The General was very
cheerful and spoke freely of his accident saying

when at the dizzy top of the steps, and intnida-
ted by the appearance of ice upon them, he be-

conscious OF falling.

mitted during the day. Then turning to the gen
tIeman he said II thought Yesterday that should

strain my desire to be out" trust he may do so;
for the country cannot spare her good and wise
men. A. b. y.
