correspondent saws:

Gen. Meade claims that it was his intention
to have turned Lees right flank at Gettysburg,
and to have placed his own army between the
COnfederates and the Potomac before giving
general battle. He says that he was perfectly
confident of his ability to defeat Lee, and could
then have captured him, bag and baggage, but
that Gen. Sickles by disobeying orders adj
vanced his own corps too far, got it involved,
whole army in order to save Sickles Meade
says that it cost three thousand men merely to
repair the blunder of which Gen. Sickles was
guilty; and in this view Gen. Halleck, other
wise hostile to Meade, fully sustains him.

A MUSTARD PoULTIcE AND ITS CoNsE-
QUENcEs.-The following story which we do
not remember to have seen In print, Is now
circulating on Change. 1t may be old, but
il received as new and true. At a famous
watering place, within the memory of man,
gentleman was severely afflicted with pain
In the stomach, which neither gin cocktails
nor other cordials could remove. 1t was night
and he was Ia bed. His loving wife. unwil-
ling to wake the d mestcs, descended TO the
kitchen. and prepared mustard poultce,
which she spread on her own handkerchief,
and proceeded with it to her distressed lord.
Before leaving him, she left light dimly
burning in his apartment; but deeply inn
pressed with anxiety, she was not as careful
as she might have been in noting the number
Of her room.
Guided by light which she saw shining
10 a chamber, and which she supposed was the
one she had left, she entered and gently rails
ing the bed-clothes, &C., laid the warm poul-
tice upon a stomach, but not the stomach OF
her lord.
"Hallo there! What the are you
about?" shouted voice of thunder, and the
body and sleeves, whence it issued, sprang out
of bed.
The lady screamed and ran; her husband
rushed TO the rescue from the next room,
the walters Joined and small scene ensued,
much to the amusement of all concerned.
The poulticed gentleman had indscreetly
left light In his room, and this lured the lady
from Der path.
Her husband was so amused and excited by
the mistake that he quite forgot his pains,
but with his wife and trunks, left for parts
unknown. The poulticed-man still retains
the handkerchief-a beautiful cambrie-with
the lady's name on 1t, which he considers Of
rare value.-Trayeller.

HoTTENToT ANEcDoTE. "A Dutchman
was walking by himself, and saw a Snake
lying under large stone. The Snake i'm
plored his help; but when she had become
free, she said, Now shall eat you
The Man answered and said. that is not
right. Let us first go TO the Hare
When the Hare had heard the affair, he
said, 1T is right No. said the Man, let us
ask the Hyena.'
The Hyena declared the same saying, 1T is
right
Now let us at last ask the Jackal,' said the
Man In his despair.
The Jackal answered very slowly and con-
siderately. doubling the whole affair, and de-
manded to see first the place, and whether
the Man was able to lift the stone. The
Snake lay down, and the Man. to prove the
truth Of his account, put the stone again over
her.
When she was fast the Jackal said, Now
let her lie there"
