found this gentleman barricaded behind a
tremendous pile Off boxes, distributing funds

said "My dear sir, what is the use of a d.

he ran on in happy, cordial, appreciatiVe

Picayune relates the following incident as hay

CHARMING IGNORANCE The New Orleans
Picayune relates the following incident as hay
ing occurred on a Mississippi steamer:
few days since there was q wedding on
Baronne street, celebrated with great eclat,
and the newly ly-wedded couple set out at once
on bridal tour. The ceremony took place
at 4 O'Clock in the afternoon, and at 5 o'clock
they We're on board splendid steamer bound
for the Upper Mississippi. AS soon rs the
vesselwas under way, the passengers crowded
the saloon, and mirth and revelry began to
hold a festival. A dance was improvised,
and JOY and merriment was protracted into
the ''wee sma' hours"
Now it so happened that the berth next oul.
newly-married friends was occupied by q live
ly little matron and her infant. Wishing to
enjoy us much pleasure as possible, she had
intrusted her babe to a servant, with instruc-
tons to put it to bed as soon as it went to
sleep, while she herself joined in the dance.
BY a strange mistake the servant mstook
the state-room and deposited the rosy infant
in the bridal couch. Now when the hour for
retiring came, the groom led his blushinp
bride to the door, and modestly waited out
side for her to disrobe and retire. One can
readily imagine his astonishment, therefore,
when the next instant he heard his name call
ed frantically, and in accents of surprise and
distress
Opening the door, he looked obviously, and
said:
''What is the matter, my love9n
go, Henry, look here"
"Why, bless me, it's baby"
"Yes, but oh Henry, how did it come here ?
do you think it's ours?"
''Well no!'' replied Henry, solemnly, II
think it is almost too soon."
''Oh it certainly is, but then, what shall we
do?"
Just then the anxious voice of the mother
was heard nquiring for the baby, and it was
restored to her, very much to the relief of the
young couple.

DUTIES OF SOLDIERS. \ certain Confed-
crate regiment that served during the war in
the Western Department was commanded
until after the battle Of NIurreesboro by a CO.
lionel who was a foreigner by birth, but sol
dier by choice and education. He never learn
ed to use good English, but he had a short way
Of expressing himself in impetuous cxclama-
tons that was quite as effective in conveying
his conclusions as his practiced sword was in
disabling an adversary. This anecdote is
attributed to him: Once, when some general
officers We're hesitating about making an i'm
portant but desperate movement, on account
of the loss of life it was likely to involve, he,
happening to be present, bawled out "What
kill soldier! What soldier made for? Soldier
paid to be killed, by tam.''
AT the battle of Murtreessboro, when GER
tain brigade was ordered forward, on Wednes-
day, to assist in the attack on the Federal
right, the regiment commanded by the foreign
officer referred to met with such a furious re-
ception from ''the boys Of the West,' as they
prided in calling themselves, that it wavered,
and was on the point of falling into confusion,
when it is said, he instantly brought the men
to sense of their duties and responsibilities
by dashing madly along the line, brandishine
his sabre over their heads, and shouting at
the top of his voice $50 up tah, men! Go
up tab! Py tam, do you want to live'always9'
