A Modest Nan In a predIcament.

Mr.. Tom. Loughrim is noted all over
the city for his modesty. He stands
six feet two in his stockings, at least
six feet of him is made up of modesty
At an early hour yesterday morning
Mr. l.. was making his toilet ut his
residence on Pratte avenue and Wal
nut street he was standing'in front OF
his mirror, with only one garment on
land that rather short ono-and
had lathered his face, preparatory To
moving his beard, when he was start
led by shrill scream from Biddy, his
servant girl, and his wife called to him
that Bridget was on fire. Mr. H., with
an admirable presence of mind, seized
quilt from the bed and reached the
bottom Of the stairs in two jumps, soon
enveloped the flaming damsel in the
quilt and smothered the flames before
the girl was seriously injured. While
Mr.. H. was thus engaged some dozen
ladies, hearing the screams of the girl,
rushed to see what was the matter.
They arrived intime to see the tall
form of. Mr.. i. bending over the girl
and instead of retreating when they
noticed his Georgia costume. they stood
looking ut him with admiring eyes.
7NSm looked around and saw the ladies,
and remembering that he had not fin
ished bis toilet, went up stairs little
faster tIan. he had come down. The
ladies Uttered, and at every litter Mr.
IL. aecclceated his speed, and when he
reached Ills room he covered with
a profusc perspiration. He says it was
the most embarrassing position he was
ever placoSl in, and hopes never to- be
caught in such fix again,7-[St Louis

[From All the Year Round.l
Useful Soldiers.

In the French army every recruit is sup
posed TO know trade on joining the
army. II he has not yet learned a trade he is
taught some occupation after joining the
corps. Should he BE- ignorant OF reading and
writing or knowing there, fhould'le wish
to improve his education 20 as TO qualify
himself for pronoiion-he goes 10 the regi-
mental school four hours evOry day when he
is not ou guard or on fatigue duty. Once his
schooling is over, he is put to work at some
trade Or handicrai, or, should he not know
one, he is put TO learn one. In every French
regiment there are regular gangs Of butchers,
bakers, cooks, carpenters, masons, gardeness,
builders, labor ers, cart drivers, watchmakers,
silversmith, sailors, shoemakers. blacksmilhs,
mn d what not. All these trades or hands
crafts are under their respective head men,
and does gain certain sum per day working
in The chop of bis trade. In Algeria the
whole Of the Government work is done by
these military artisans, who as well as the
State, are gamers thereby.
The men thus earn extra pay, and the Gov
eminent gets work done better uHd cheaper
than they could by employing he people Of
the country, besides Ieasuring up the vast
advantages Of always having corps OF work>
men at command. The system Of regular or
ganzed workmen ia the true secret why the
French army get on so well when on service.
In the English army we have nothing Of the
kind, except as regards the taiors and shoe
makers lin cavalry Tegimeni), the sOddlers
and fariers. There are many good workmen
who enter our ranks, but through want oil
practice they forget what they kuow.
In AlgieIs have seen whole pile Of bar
racks, large enough to coniaiu 5000 meu that
was built entirely by a regiment of the Inc,
from the digging Of the Foundation TO the
making Of glass for the barracks window, aud
not q day sdrll or maneuveriDg had been
neglected while the work was going on.
Throughout Algeria miles upon miles OF ex"
celleDt public roads have been made entirely
by tue troops, the men being paid small Ad-
dtional cum by the State while so employed.
Thus the Government gained by getting their
work better and very much cheaper done
than could have been effected by private con-
tractors, while the troops gained a very cons
Portable addition 10 their pay.

A Premlum for IdIcness.

The Evening Post, in commenting
on the Freedmen's Bureau Bill says:
Ifmen are TO he fed by the Govern
ment because they are starving, or to
be clothed If they are in rags, or to be
coddlcd and especially protected by
1T because they are ignorant, then the
Government simply offers a premium
to idleness, ignorance and unthrift.
Itsaysto theignorant remainignorant,
to the lazy remain lazy, to the i'm
providcnt donot feel want, a parternal
government will feed and clothe you
at the expenseiof the industrious and
thrifty. The American doctrine is
that ii u mem can not take care Of nim-
self4-the laws being just and equal
it is because he does not use the 'facul-
ties God has given TO al men, and.it is
therefore right that he should sutfer,

honorably served during the late war
for the Union, as n special committee
to wait upon you and request your
consent to serve rs Chaplain Of the
Convention, which will be held at
Cleveland, Ohio, on the 18th of next
month.
Your name has been selected by the
Executive Committee from sincere ad-
miration of your character, and as the
only tribute within their power to pay
in acknowledgment of the Union, and
your earnest and unceasing efforts in
behalf of oursoldiers and sailors during
the recent war.
The Executive Committee also find
in your course, since the termination
Of the struggle, substantial harmony
with the views to which they desire to
give effect in the Convention--your el-
oquence and the just weight of your
name being employed to enforce upon
the country n generous and magnani-
nous policy toward the people of the
lately rebellious States, and n prompt
reconstruction of the Union under the
Constitution rs the best means of re.
gaining the National tranquility which
the country so much needs, and read
justing the rights of all sections, under
tho now order Of things, on basis OF
law, order, Christian brotherhood and
justice, ..t -,s ..l,,.s.i g..
In the call for the Convention, which
the undersigned have the honor to
transmit herewith, you will see fully
set forth the motives which actuate the
military and naval defenders of the
Union in their present unusual course
of taking part in political movement;
and it is our hope, as we have always
looked to you in the darkest days of
the war for inspiration, aid and the
cheering sympathy of q noble heart,
failing TO find them-that you will con-
sent to invoke the divine blessing upon
the Convention of the soldiers and
sailors of the United States who served
during the late rebellion and who APP
prove the restoration policy of Presi-
dent johnson and the principles an
nounced by the recent National Con-
vention of Philadelphia-the first Con.
vention since 1860 in which all the
States of our beloved Union were repre-
sented. ,qIr
Hoping an early and favorable reply,
we have the honor to be, with very pro-
found respect for your character, and
sincere gratitude for your powerful and
generous efforts in behalf of the mill
tary and naval servants of the country
during the late war, your obedient
friends ndscrvants, ..4..,. ..rr
