a PUZZLED JUsTICE.-A man named
Josh was brought before a country squire
for stealing a hog, and three witnesses
being examined, swore they saw him
steal 1t; y was having volunteered his
counsel for Josh, knowing the scope Of
the squire'S brain, arose and addressed
him as follows: May it please your
honor, can establish this mans honesty
beyond the shadow of doubt, for l have
twelve witnesses who are ready to swear
that they did not see him steal 1.-THE
squire rested his head for few moments
as itin deep thought, and with great
dignity arose, and brushing back his hair,
said: 'lf there are twelve who did not
see him steal it, and only three who did,
L discharge the prisoner"

JAMES HANNAY, an English novelist,
has written an admirable sketch of Mr.
Thackeray's career for the Edinburgh
Courant, in which the following anecdotes
are told:
"When we congratulated him, many
years ago, ON the touch in Ydnity Fair
IN which Becky 'admires, her husband
when he is giving Lord Styne the chas-
tiScment which ruins her for life, Well
he said, when l wrote the sentence,
slapped my fist on the table, and said
that is touch of genius! The incident
is triie, but it will reveal, we suspect,
an element of fervor, as well as haerti-
ness of frankness in recording the fervor,
both equally at variance with the vulgar
conception of him This frankness and
bOHhOmmie made him delightful in tete-d-
tete, and gave pleasant human flavor to
talk full of sense, and wisdom, and expe-
rience, and lighted up by the gaiety of the
true London man of the world. Though
he said witty things now and then, he
was not wit In the sense in which Jer-
rold was, and he complained sometimes
that his best things occurred to him after
the occasion had gone by!
"He shOne mOst-as in his books-in
little subtitle remarks on life, and little
descriptive sketches suggested by the
talk. We remember, in particular, one
evening after dinner party at his house,
fancy picture he drew of Shakespeare
during his last years at Stratford, sitting
out III the summer afternoon watching the
people, which all who heard 1t, brief as
it was, thought equal to the best things
In his lectures. But it was not for this
sort of talent-rarely exerted by him
that people admired his conversation.
They admired, above all, the broad saga
city, sharp insight, large and tolerant
liberality, which marked him as one who
was sage as story-telIer, aud whose
stories were valuable because he was a
sage"

THr Army and Navy journal looks up

THE Army and Navy journal looks up
on the execution of Grants movement as
no less brilliant than successful. "Four
times now" says this good authority, in
the brief Virginia campaign, has a great
army been coolly and deliberately march
ed across the right flank of an enemy
strong and vigilant. If on its first two
exhibitions, the vancouver partook of the
character of pursuit, from the timely
interposition of the enemy's presence in
front of our advance on the last two, at
least its execution has been so swift and
energetic as to claim the merits of o sur
prise. That the column on the march
has not been attacked in either of these
two cases is not little noteworthy. Its
wide detour, its remarkable cclerity, and
the perfect lubricity, as of mechanism,
in all parts and details of its movement,
win furnish some explanation Of its sue
