Breckenridge at Baton Rouge.

The Baton Rouge, La, Advocate OF
the 8tb, contains an anecdote OF General
Breckinridge which we have never be-
fore heard:
When General Breckenridge was
marching on Baton Rouge, he one day,
unattended by his aids, rode up to SOL
itary pine woods vidette who had just
come in from St Tammany, and was
new to the etiquette of army life, The
General had not the pass word, and the
vidette had no advantage of him in that
respect.
II wish to pass, said the General
"Well dod durn you, pass on, who
cares a cuss, | amt stoppin this here
road are !. !"
"You don't know who am, said the
General, smiling
mo, dont--that's pooty hoss you
are on, anyhow"
"I am General Breckinridge, the com
manding officer" continued the Gen
eral, much amused at the pickets idea
of the duty required of him.
"You ar, ar you2 Well, I'm Bot
Chiggers, an | am glad TO see you old
feller, how are you, replied the picket,
extending hand as large as frying
pan.
The General shook hands and galloped
on to avoid some lengthy inquiries about
the health of Mrs. Breckenridge and the
family.

no thought, and none the less continues
his crusade against abuses. l need
scarcely say, that, while attentively
reading his works, without being carried
away by the charm of the events he un-
rolls before ones eyes, one may dis
cover a great many philosophical views
and observations upon social economy
While writing in tone of railery, he
sometimes advances very practical ideas,
which would be esteemed very highly,
were they suggested by the official pen
Of a political writer.
Dickens favorite time for working is
in the morning. He rises very early and
sets to work at once. He lightly break.
fasts at nine and continues to work antil
twelve O clock. At this hour he lunches.
After lunch he goes into the fields and
does not return home again until half
past six clock He walks every day
some eight or ten miles. He walks
rapidly. t..
Dickens writing is, as | have said, fine
and regular, 1t is unlike Paul FevaPs 8
hand. He keeps and has had bound the
manuscript of some Of his works. II
seems to me his favorite novel is David
Copperfeld."
