A "Reminiscences.

In the month of February, 1861, Wher
the mutterings of the coming civil strife
were borne to the North upon eyery
Southern breeze, aud two months before
the bursting of the war cloud at Sumter,
the writer Of this met John ". Geary,
then farmer of Westmoreland county,
at Ebensburg, and had the pleasure Of
spending an evening in his room. In the
course or a long conversation, the ap-
preaching war was mentioned We shall
never forget the earnestness with which
Col. Geary, then Douglas Democrat,
spoke of that most anxious and exciting
subject. He said that Abraham Lincoln
had been fairly elected to the highest
office in the gift of the people that the
South had 70 cause for attempting to
dissolve the Union and that, if al! efforts
at Cancellation should fail, he would take
his boy and enter the military service of
his country, in defense of the Union, tho
Constitution and the Laws. How we'll he
kept his word all his ccuntrymen know.
His brave boy fell in the Southwest,
pierced by rebel bullet, and John W.
Geary himself bears upon his person to-
day the scars of severe wound received
on one of the hardest fought battle-feIds
of Virginia. How much his example
aided in rallying the Democratic party Of
1861 around the cid flag needs not to be
told. The country can never honor too
much those prominent leaders of the old
Democratic party-the Buffers, the Lo-
gaLs, the Gearys-who, in the darkest
hour of our country's history, threw the
weight of their example and their infu-
ence into the scale in behalf of the mobiles.
cause that ever enlisted the hearts and
valor of men.-,Johnst0lcn Trtb.

An Anecdote OF Gemeral scott.

That General Scott was Of hastv and
lrascible temper in these latter years. no ono
knew better than himself. That he was
as ready to recall as TO utter an unjust re-
buke Is not, perhaps as well known to .ho
public as it should be. On one occasion.
while coming out of his headquarters at
Washington city, an orderly stepped up
with, as 1t appeared afterward, letter
from one of the Bureaus of the War De-
rertment, which he had been directed To
deliver to General Scott at once-of course
to his adiutapt general or chief of staff
The willing but not we'll learned vo!un-
teer Interpreted his order literally. how
ever; and carelessly giving the salute,
began ooh, General, here's a paper T
want you to look at before you
The naughty veteran of fourscore
seemed dumbfounded for Just one or two
seconds, ard then Strengthening to his
full height, and raising his cane. with a
sudden sweep OF the arm-I think he had
cane-he exclaimed, in a weighty voice:
"Clcar out, slr-ciear out ~ The aston

eral passed to his carriage and was driven
Oft. The carriage was driven no mora
than twenty or thirty rods before it turn
ed about, and the driver called to the un-
fortunate orderly. He of course met il
with ha. in hand and fear in every ouiv-
erlng muscle. He was beckoned to the
door, and the General asked his name and
regiments he told two or three imme-
diately afterward He gave both, and the
General answered, "Well, SIR, report to
your Colonel that you were guilty of gross
dlsrespect to General Scott as an officer.
and that General Scott was guilty of gross

COngressn1en in straits.

Some of the Confederate Congressman,
says the Richmond Enquirer, from the
Southwest, met with many incidents, some
of them quite amusing, in their efforts to
reach home after the fall of the Confed-
eracy. In Columbus, Texas, Mr.. Herbert.
OF Texas, anxious to escape a party Of
Federals that were said to be approaching,
hurried to a livery stable to procure
horse, but was refused. In order to
strengthen his application, he then stated
that he was a member of Congress where
upon some Yankee soldiers who were in
hearing, but had not been noticed by him,
told him he was the kind Of man they
wanted, and took him in custody and the
officer of the squad went to report his
capture. At this time an acquaintance of
Mr.. Herbert's coming up, MIR. Ii. told
him as rich joke, laughing heartily the
while, that be had been passing himself
off as member Of Congress from Texas,
and that these men thought they had
somebody The friend catching the hint,
entered into the joke, and repeated it with
much merriment to the next arrival, who
also seemed greatly amused that their old
townsman had suddenly become a member
of Congress from Texas Thinking they
had been "sold," the soldiers told Mr..
Herbert to go, which he lest no time in
doing.
Several of the members passed them
selves as parolcd soldiers, and were trans
ported as such, without detection, on
government steamers to points near their
homes. OF these were Mr.. Perkins and
Mr.. Wigfall. The latter, in a disguise
that precluded all suspicion, entered free
iy into conversation with the soldiers of
the guard, and in the course of the con-
versation asked what they would DO with
old Wigfall if they were to catch him
ooh, we would hang him, certain" was
the reply. "And you would serve him
right" replied WigfaIl. "If I should be
with you, [ have no doubt l should be
pulling at the end Of the rope myself" :" The
double enteaadre was not suspected, and its
wit was therefore lost, but is worth pro-
ducing now.

1899 and in the spring of 1900, after the
plague had almost depopulated Barbary,
dishes of locusts were served up at the
principal repasts. Their usual way of
dressing them, was to boil the insects in
water half an bour, then sprinkle them
with salt and pepper and fry them, adding
a little vinegar. For their stimulating
qualities, the Moors prefer them to pi-
geons. A person may eat a plateful of
them, containing two or three hundred,
without any i'll effect, whatever.
Pringle, in his song of the Wild Bush
man, has the following:
''Yea, even the wasting locust swarm,
Which mighty nations dread,
To me, nor terror brings, nor harm;
l make of them my bread"
So far, the history Of the locust has
been but series of the greatest calami-
ties which human nature has suffered
famine, pestilence, death. In all ages, by
reason of these associations, almost all
people have looked upon their recurring
visitations with superstitious horror. The
wings of some locusts being spotted, are
thought by many to be leaves from the
book Of fate, In which letters announcing
the destiny of nations were to be read
Paul Jetzote, Professor of 6 reek literature
at the Gymnasium of Stettin, wrote work
on the meaning of three of these letters,
which, according to him, were to be seen
OF the wings Of the locusts which visited
SiIesia, in l712. These letters were b.
E. s., and formed the initials of the
Latin words, 'Bella, Erunt, Saeva," or
"Babel, Est, Solitude ;" also the German
words, "BeGeutet Erschreckliche, Schlac-
ten"
A quiet, common belief in our country
is, that every locusts wing is marked With
either the letter w, portending war, or
the letter P, portending peace. Not
content with the dreadful presence of this
plague, the inhabitants Of most countries
took that opportunity of adding to their
present misery by prognosticating future
evils. The direction of their flight point
ed out the kingdom doomed to bow under
the divine wrath; while the color of the
insect designated the national uniform Of
such armies as were to go forth and con-
0uer.

A New Game.

a new game, called Ole tornoise bur
lesqus," has just been introduced into
evening parties in London and Paris, and
is rapidly coming into vogue as an infalli-
bic mirth-provoker. The jousters in this
novel style oi tournament (always gentle
men) seat themselves on the groucd, with
their knees drawn ~, their shins crossed,
their hands clasped around the latter. \
stick nearly a yard long is then placed
under the knees of each player, and tied
firmly in place with handkerchief, in such
way as the knees, stick, aid hands, are
securely fastened together.
The players divide into two squads, drag
themselves about the fJor, each endeav-.
oring to upset the other by poking at him
with his stick, ard those who are upset
or only touched are at once put out o. the
game. The ranks of combataats are soon
thinned, and the fight Is presently mar
rowed to duel between the two mos
skil!iul of the rival knights 1t is dificult
TO imagine anything more ludic:ous than
the spectacle presented 0y twenty Or
thirty Of these combatants all equally
united In laying about them with their
sticks, and in avoiding or parrying the
thrusts Of their adversaries; especially
when perhaps half dozen OF the heaviest
have the i'll luck to lose their balance and
hGunder into the most ridiculous attitudes
in their vain attempt to get themselves
again into sitting posture.

THE GARDEN SPOT OF AMERIoA.-I
heard the love of hone oddly illustrated
in Oregon one night in country bar
room. Some we'll dressed men, in state
OF strong drink, were boasting of their re-
spective places of nativity.

where the sun eyer shines, and the mag
nolias bloom all the happy year round
"And l." said another, YVES born in
Kentucky, the home of impassioned orato-
ry ; the home of Clay the State of splen-
did women, of gallant men.
"And I, said another, "was born in Vir-
gina, the home of Washington the birth
place of statesmen the State o. chevalier
deeds and noble hospitality.
"And l." said a yellow haired and sal
low-faced man, who was not of this party
at all, and who had been quietly smoking
short black pipe by the fire during
their magnificent conversation, and
l was born in the garden spot of America. y
"Where is that p they asked.
