.A.Yankee Hotel in Dixie

/: When General. Banks army moveo
on up the: Shenandoah Valley froT - ,s'
Market, Quartermaster Sergeant heuoeu
". Oliver, of CocIraun's New York bat,
terry, had to DO temporarily left IN q oasa
on account of injuries he had receI'It'
Soon after our departure he made apPn.l:.
cation at the lady's house adjoining Tor
board, but be was Informed, IN 'rus IL
Nirginian style, that she did not O0aFo
yankee barbarians. ~
-"Very we'll, replied Oliver. I'll you
won't board me i shall kecp.a hotel IN
your barn, but shall probably call upon
you occasionally for supplies" and nc
hobbled bac X to tho barn.
|; Oliver was every inch soldier, ana
he went to work at once. Taking re-
volver, no shot madam's finest Young
porkcr. which his assistant Immediately
dressed. His able assistant next went
to the apiary and ,"took US" a hive OF
bees, and transferred the honey to the
barn; he then went to the lot aud milk
ed a pail of milk from her ladysh'p $
COWS; then going to her. servants house
he made q ''rcquisition" for a quanil,y
of fresh corn dodgers that had been pre-
pared for supper. The addition OF these
articles to his ordinary rations phced
him far beyond the point Of starvation
True to his Yankee instincts, he jnyl'
ted the lady to take tea with him, at the
hotel across the way, at which she be-
came spitefully, indignant but Oliver
was as happy ns lark, and for the time
Utmost forgot his injuries.
Soon he had several sick soldiers add
cd to his list Of boardcrs; and in due
time asleep and another young porker
and second hive Of bees were gathered
under the roof Of his "hotcl;" and
furthermore, not a cock remained to
proclaim when the morning lawncd.-
BY this time, her lAdyship thought She
could "sce it," and sent for Oliver, who
as promptly as the nature Of his inlur'
les would permit, reported at the door
"Sec here, young man., said she, 81

to board you in my house, and if yor
will accept, you can have board and I
room free, .....,..,
"Thank you, madam, thank you" re
piled Oliver, removing his cap and bow
ing politely, "bnt prefer boarding a
first.class Yankee hotel to stopping a
any Scccsh house in Virginia at tho
same price. You will therefore be Sc
kind as to excuse me for declining
your generous offer, as it comes too late;
and back he hobblcd to the barn, ant
actually remained there for two weeks
taking in aud boarding every sick sol
dicr that came along, making frequcn
"requisitions' upon her for supplies.
Her ladyship was nightly pleased
when divers Yankee hotel was discon
tinucd but it learned her valuable
lesson, and no Yankee soldier eve
thereafter applied to her in, vain for foot
and shelter. They always got what they
wanted, she evidently not rclishcd TIT
