An Incident Of the War.

A little incident occurred just
before the seige Of Yicksburg so
peculiarly illustrative Of the ar
rogance and self-conceit Of some
of our Generals and the contempt
they merited, and sometimes re-
ceived, that we cannot forbear to
give it. An old acquaintance of
ours, Uncle Robert, we shall call
him, who had some relatives in
the Fortieth Alabama Regiment,
which at that time was stationed
at Fort Warren, went on to carry
them some clothing. He was met
on the road by Gen. Pemberton,
who seeing that he was civilian,
Intercepted him as to where he
came from and where he was GO
ing to. Uncle Robert politely
gave him the desired information
and was about to pass on, when
Gen. Pemberton, whose temper
seemed to be up-probably with
Gen. Grant for intimating that be
would dine with him on the fourth
of July brought him to a bout
face by remarking:
"Sir, | am Gen. Pemberton, and
| would take it as a favor, if you
would take off your hat when
you are addressing me-"
"Well, sir" said Uncle Robert,
Ibis eyes flashing fire, 81 have
been with General Jackson, acted
as courier for him, and he never
required me to pull off my hat.
II require it, said Gen. Penn
berton in q stern voice.
"Well, sir, replied Uncle Rob
bert, at the same time dofiing the
offensive woolly, Gas Pm in your
lines I'll do it this time, but if
was in Alabama, bandit I'd do it.

SALT FOR SwINE-A gentleman
states that he selected two pairs
of barrow hogs, weighing 200 lbs.
apiece, and gave to one pair two
ounces of salt with their daily
allowance of food. To the other
pair, he gave the same kind of
food without the salt. In the
course of a week the sailed pair
had a much stronger appetite
than the others, and after a fort
night the salt was increased to
two ounces apiece. At the end
of four months the sailed hogs
weighed $50 Tbs. each, and five
weeks later, the unsalted ones
weighed only 800 Tbs, apiece
This experiment is suggestive.

1t is stated that Austria, over
whelmed with enormous and in
creasing debt, the interest of
which she cannot pay, is seriously
contemplating a confscation of
church property, similar to that
which marked the reign of Henry
the VIII. in England, and of Louis
XVI. in France. The church of
Austria is perhaps the richest and
most magnificent endowed Of any
IN the world. 1t is SO powerful,
through its gold, that wholesale
confscation could not probably
be effected, but a partial one might
perhaps be managed. The move
ment would have the wealth of
the Jews in its favor. The con-
dition Of the Kingdom, on the
very treshold of disintegration and
extinction, scarcely leaves any
other alternative than the adop-
ton OF this desperate resort.

A liquor-seller at ST.. Adams,
Vt, when brought before the
courts, urged in defence that he
had SO reduced his whisky by wa
ter that a man could not get drunk
on it. He came very near prov
ing his case; but unfortunately
for him, in an unguarded moment,
he had sold one glass Of unadul-
terated whisky, and a fine was
the consequence.

A Radical member OF the West
Virginia Legislature has "risen to
a question OF privilege" in conse-
quence of the Wheeling Register
having charged him with stealing
a carpet sack and an overcoat. He
states that the articles were taken
from a gentleman's state-room on a
boat, upon which he was travel
ing, but if he took them he does
not know it, as he was SO drunk
that he does not even know, ex-
cept from other circumstances,
that he was Oh board the boat at
all. A resolution was adopted to
investigate the charge. We think
this fellow would make q valua-
BILE member of the Rump Con-
gress. He could drink as much
as Wade or Chandler, and steal
equal to Beast Butler.

A few days ago a dentist in
Boston was called on by lady to
extract the left superior molar'
tooth. He found there was some
thing unusual with the tooth, and
after he had succeeded in remov-
ing it he discovered that it held
the wisdom tooth within its fangs,
being united firmly to it and the
wisdom tooth lying lengthwise of
the jaw. Our most experienced
dentists never heard of a similar
case.

Honesty is the Best Policy.

Johnny NJ Kay, is the title of one Of
the recent issues of the Presbyterian
Committee of Publication, Richmond,
Va. 1t is fascinating and unusually
instructive little book. We extract the
following, both because we wish all our
readers, old and young, to see it and re-
member it, and as a fair specimen of the
excellent reading which our Richmond
brethren are sending forth.-Missouri
Presbyterian.
"Johnny did not forget to ask Mrs.
M'Kay what Miss Hammond meant by
saying that honesty is ever the best pol
icy. 1t has been well remarked, that
wherever mind is employed thought must
be called out; and as the intellect, like
the body increases in growth and strength
by being exercised, the more the young
are encouraged to think about what they
see and hear, the better. 1t is probable
Mrs. MKay never heard this; or that if
she had, she would not have understood
it; but her own natural good sense taught
her the same truth; and she had always
acted upon it by encouraging her grand
son to ask her questions, and to converse
freely with her upon whatever had come
under his observation. To his inquiry
as to Miss Hammond's meaning when
she said that "honesty is the best policy"
"a well-known worldly proverb, but one
which, the Christian must think, holds
out poor and selfish motive for doing

to trust them, and to help them; so that
they are likely to get on in the world !;
and in the end they gain more by their
honesty than they would have done by
being rogues. Just, we may say, as you
sold the socks and basket, and gained the
good will of the lady by not stealing the
cakes"
"Bnt why should she think that I was
a rogue? ?"
"For this reason, darling. There are
so few little boys in this country who are
taught the Bible, that stealing, I am sorry
to say, is very common among them, and
the lady was surprised to see one who
resisted the temptation. You did moth
ing but just what was your duty: and in
stead of feeling at all proud, I trust that
when you remember the great advan-
tages God has been pleased to give you,
so that, from a child, you have known
the Scriptures, you will only feel humble
that you are not deal better than you
are"
"Well, gran, am glad you told me
that; for I think was beginning to fee
Bit proud of the praise got, though ]
could not we'll tell for what"
"Tell me now, Johnny" said Mrs
MKay, "what ought to be our reason
for trying to do our duty upon all occa
sions? Is it that we may be thought well
of by our neighbors.'
GO! no-that we may please God.
"And why should we try to please
God, my -cllild?"
because we love him.

The boy answered: "In this was man

cause that God sent his only begottel
Son into the world, that we might liv'

"Now, Johnny, this is the true reason
to my mind, why we should always tr.
