will ye? now, darn ye, take that and
two geese dropped"
A smile played on the faces Of the
members of the court martial, and there
was deal of suppressed laughter
"But the chickens, sir-the chick
ens," quickly replied the Judge Advo,
cate, biting his lips, ''they did not
hiss %
"Wall, no, sir, they did not hiss .
they seemed to be held in reserve to
cover the retreat of the rebel geese,
and they fell because they were in bad
company"
The next day the soldier was on du-
ty, none the worse for the court mar
tial, and some how the geese and chick
ems found their way to the officers
quarters, and that was the last that
was seen of them.

Wild Cats.

A gentleman having in his posses
sioE ten or twelve hundred dollars on a
certain banking institution, away out
West, went up to the counter one fine
morning and addressed the teller in the
following language:
"Good morning sir. Beautiful weath.
er, sir Ahem! | have something over a
thousand dollars worth of your money
in my pocket. Do you redeem ?"
The teller says
Good morning, sir" smiles blandly
and answers-"We redeem,sir, but we
don't pay specie"
"Do not pay specie, hey? Suspended,
I suppose"
"Suspcnded.
"What do you redeem with ?" was
the next question.
"With bills on other banks" replied
the clerk, pleasantly.
"And those, | presume, are non-spe-
cie-paying banks ?"
every probably they are, sir" bowing
very politely"
"W ell, then, what kind of bills can
you give me?"
"Almost any kind, sir. Give you Red
Cat" sCan't stand it."
"Well, then, how's Gray Cat 90
Wouldn't give straw for barrel

"NVhat do you say to Black Cat?"
"Taint worth cuss."
s'Well, I'll try and accommodate you

at all. | don't want your internal wild
cat money-neither Red Cat, Grey Cat,
Black Cat, White Cat or Tom Cat. |

Haven't you got some money on eastern
banks %
mo, sir''-softly and very politely
"eastern banks are principally specie
paying institutions"
''If not eastern; have you any bills
on any other banks that do pay specie %
No, sir" bowling most courteously.
"Well, then"-drawing his package
from his pocket with a desperate ex-
preston Of countenance--"Can You
give me tolerably executed counterfe,
bill on any bank that does pay specie %
''No, sir" very loud and looks if he
had been insulted.

A QUEER PLACE TO SECRETE REB-
Ell DoCUMENTs.-There is little going
on here but they know of it in Norfolk
the same day and, to show conclusive
ly how it Is done, [ will relate q cir
cumstance which happened this morn
ing while some of the ladies of secessia
were waiting for the truce-boat to 90
over to Dixie. AS the assistant pro-
vost marshal was holding child of
few months of age in his arms. while
its darling mother was opening her
trunks to be searched, he felt some
thing peculiar in portion of It's unmen-
tionable clothing. After lietle natur-
al hesitation, he felt in the place indi-
Gated, and found that letters were Sc
creted therein. He did not, however,
let his secret be known until the trunks
were all searched, and the pretty lady
felt sure that all was right. But, alas
for her. the gentlemanly marshal re-
quested her to remove portion Of the
child's clothing. Her face flushed, and
she tremblingly obeyed; when 10. a
large package Of letters was exposed
to bis gaze. They were taken to the
office and opened and several of them
contained checks and drafts, while 9th
ers were filled with valuable informa-
nation concerning the movements Of

OvEn THE FALLs.-Again the pub
lie mind is startled with the announce
nent Of another victim over the Falls.
The victim in this case was a young
man about twenty years of age, by the
name Of Duncan, whose parents lived
al Chippewa. On Sunday he under
took to cross over from the American
shore to his home at Chippewa, in q
saiI-boat, at point about three -fourths
Of mile above Goat Island. The riv-
er was very high, and the current much
more rapid than usual. When near the
middle of the stream the river upset
his boat, and he was soon beyond the
reach Of human ald.-Rochester Dem.

WASHINGTON AND THE CORPORAL
Some of our volunteer officers show
their unftness to command by keeping
aloof from their men, instead of setting
them the example of nanhness in tot |
and endurance. The following Incl
dent is in point:
During the American Revolution, it
is said, the commander Of 3 little squad
was giving orders to those under him,
relative to log of timber which they
were endeavoring to raise up to the
top of some military works they were
were preparing. The timber went up
with difficulty, and on this account the
voice of the little man was often heard,
in regular vociferations Of
"Heave away! there she goes -
heave away"
An officer, not in military costume,
was passing, and asked the comman-
der why he did not take hold and rem
der 4 little aid. The latter, astonish
ed, turning round with all the pomp of
an Emperor, said:
ssSir, am a corporalm
"You are, are you - replied the Off
Ger. Il was not aware Of that" and
taking off his hat and bowling, the off.
Ger said, 81 ask your pardon, Mr.. Cor
