BILL JoSEs AND Hs HoRsE. Bill Jones
was "A hard working old fellow who used
TO live among the eastern hills Of Rem
selaer county. Nobody ever disputed
Bills word, or his honesty. He wss one
OF those sturdy old fellows who man
aged to get bare living from
hillside farm, which had belonged TO
some member of his family for genera
tions. But like all humanity, he had
one master failing he would get drunk
about once a month. Among the per
sonal effects, Of which Bill was tho pos-
SCISSOR, was an old white horse, which
he was accustomed to mount at night
fall, and then To take himself to the VIII
lage tavern. Whenever he was seen
thus seated on his white charger, il was
settled fact that there would bo one
drunken man IN the place that night.
LIS horse had become 80 ia tire habit
Of assisting his master in keeping his
balance when half seas over, as 10 nl-
ways sway his body in the opposite di-
rection from that taken by Bill in the
saddle.
One night, however, the fates seemed
to DO against the equilibrium of rider
and horse. Either Bill had drank too
much, or tho horse haden't drank en-
ough, it don't matter much which, but
one thing is certain when Jones had
paid his parting compliments TO the bar
Of Stiggins, the landlord, he didn't have
a clear idea Of relatiye pomtion. Feel
ing his way down the steps and out to
the shed, he managed to unite his horse
halter; but in the darkness, he lost all
sight ofwhich way his horses head was.
Having got hold Of the saddle, after re-
peated failures, he at last succeeded in
seating himself astride, but with his
face toward old v hitey's tail Selling
the crupper he gave tremendous pull.
which had the effect to start the aston
lshed animal toward home at o fearful
rate. Such demonstrations we're nm

cd between the General and an old
soldier, soon after tho surrender. 1t
is as follows
can old man, tall, rough and ragged,
but true hearted Virginian, from
tho mountains called at the residence
of the General, and speaking low, en-
phatically and mystoriously low, said:
'Gmral, L havo come down here to

and, lowering his voice to o whisper,
he continued, tGinral, there's place up

Yankee can find yc.' sBut,' said the
General, 'you surely would not have
me, your General, hide away from the
Yankees 2 But, Ginral, faint no
fair fight now. They'll sneak up un-
bcknownst, and if they cotch you
they'll hang you sure"
"The General satisfied tho old fcl-
low that there was no danger of his
hanging, and said, looking pitifully at
the stockingless feet and tattcrcd
clothes, Wait my kind friend, while L

how vigorously, we are told that a great
battle at Shantung prom, ntory resulted
in the defeat Of the rebel army, whicl,
lost 80, 600 men. But subsequently the
Imp"llallsts were defeated in their turn
Sin several severe engagements, with
heavy loss" n loss that may be de-
scrbed as heavy" in comparison to that
OF $4,000 men, which seems not to
amount to much in China, must have
been heavy indeed. Perhaps it is sale
to put it at five times $4,000, more OF
less, or 100000. This Chinese rebellion
has been going on for somewhat more
than eighteen years, during which it
has been estimated that from thirty to
torty million lives have been sacrificed.
Ii 1t continues for twenty years longer

son why it should not, unless foreign
intervention puts stop to it-cven the
