| What immense pleasure chicken

Flowing anecdote may not be un-

Many years ago Mr.. Herbert
kned d slave, who was In the habit
running away and staying In the
pods a few weeks during the busi-
season Of the year, and returning
bme again when there was not so
uch to do. This conduct so exas-
rated Mr.. Herbert that, upon the
knaway's return one day, he swore
= him that, "if he ever run away
Sain and came back home, he (runa-
BY would be a dead negro, for he
fr. HerberD would be damned If
didn't shoot him."
The darkey, true to his habit, did
b away, and did come back home.
!. Herbert was seated on the porti-
Of his dwelling as the slave en-
led the yard. Mr.. Herbert jump
up, ran into the house, seized his

ARMY JoKEs.-The following good
one is told ut the expense Of General
j. B. Magrudcr,
While rctrcating from the penin-
sular in 1862, the General and his
staff stopped at the house Of a widow
lady on the road and engaged dinner.
In n few moments Jim Phelps, a
Louisiana soldier, accosted the lady
with:
Madam, can get dinner"
ayes, sir" was the answer; bur
as | am preparing dinner for General
Magruder and staff, and have NOT
room at my table for any more, you
will have to wait for a second table
Every well, madam, thank you,
said Phelps, taking his seat in posi-
tion TO command view of thu
dining-room.
Watching the movements Of thu
servants, Phelps waited until th'
feast wis ON the table, and while tn
hostess proceeded to the parlor to an
nounce dinner to the General ans
his staff, Phelps entered the dining
room, and seating himself at th
table, waited further developments
Upon the entrance OF the party o
officers, there were found to be seat
for all but one, and one politely re
turned to the parlor to wait.
The General took a seat next d
Phelps, and, after the first cours
was finished, turning to Phelps, b
inquired;
aSir, have you any idea with whom
you are dining"
"No, SIR" coolly replied Phelh'
"I used TO be particular, but since
turned soldier, don't care who
eat with. NO the victuals are clean.p

LETTER PROM Mn. DAvIs.-The
following letter from Mr.. Davis, ad-
dressed to Mrs. J. X. Kyle, Fayette-

Southern papers:
FORTRESS MoSRoE, March %.
My DEAR MADAM have the
honor 10 acknowledge yours Of the
18th inst, inclosing a check to be
forwarded to Mrs. Davis as a present
from the ladies Of Fayetteville. Sadly
remembering how your homes were
desolaied during the war, ] could not
have expected you, in the midst ol
ruin, 10 have been mindful Of tboss
at distance. Nothing could add e
my admiration for the heroic denia
and Christian virtue Of my country
women, for the measure was full 4
overfowing; nor could anything in
crease the gratitude with which
will ever rccur TO their confidence
and sympathy. II only remains 4

represent that l am most GRATEFUL
and respectfully your friend an
