DIR. MARY WALKER.
A Camp AdVenture-AnkIes and
RFaVny Paws.

The following story, wearing all the
air of probability, is told by "Jingle !"
OF the New York Daily Nea0s:
While with the army of the Potomac,
In the summer of 1868, DR.. Walker
visited the headquarters of Colonel, af.
terwards General, Samuel Carroll, of the
second army corps. Failing in all her
efforts to obtain 3 regular commission
rs surgeon in the army, and having only
permission to remain with the troops in
the capacity Of nurse, the Doctor" was
frequently Obliged to accept the hospi-
tality Of the officers. On the occasion
referred to, she plainly stated to g IN.
Carroll her intention Of tarrying at his
headquarters for few days for the laud-
able purpose Of looking after the sick.
OF course the General consented, and
being as gallant as he is brave, offered
her The sole use Of his tent, which she
accepted. So far, SO good.
Early on the morning after her arrival
q field officer of ths Seventh West Vir-
ginia regiment, OF CarrOips brigade-a
bluff, honest, brave, devil-msy-care old
k-woodsman, took q walk over to
brigade headquarters, and noticed that
the flies of Carroll's tent were still tied,
thought it somewhat strange that his
commanding officer, generally an early
riser, should remain In bed at so late an
hour. 81 have it, said he, thinking a
moment; and approaching the tent, he
quietly united the canvas doors, winking
at the same time to several staff officers,
who were near by, endesvOring to con-
troll their Tisibilities. Fhe face of the
sleeper was hidden by the bed covering,
ana the officer, quietly lifting the cover
ing at the foot of the couch, and en-
eircling two warm ankles with his
brawpy paws, while he watched the
head Of the bed intently, to see If the
sleeper awoke, shouted at the top of his
lungs ss he dragged the body completely
out of the bed to the floor, "Carroli,
you lazy ouss, get up here! It's eight
o'-.p The rest of the sentence was lost
in piercing scream, such as only fe-
male in distress can furnish at short no.
tice, and the jolly old officer, absshed
and dumbiounded, bounded from the
tent like stag struck by three-ounce
bullet. The joke was altogether too good
to keep, and the result was that every
soldier in the second corps soon knew
the story about Col. -, OF the Seventh
Virginia, pulling DR.. Mary Walker out
of bed.

A Valuable B0Okkeeper-Over-
enc. Gurney s. Co.. of
London.

The examination into the affairs OF
Overend, Gurney & Co., in London, has
developed q precious scOundrel in the
person OF Edwards, the book. keeper and
confidential clerk of the firm. He is a
gentleman Of high character and position
sud holGs q public Office of the highest
trust, that of Public Assignee in Bank
ruptcy. From his financial position and
ability he was engaged by OverPnd, Cur
ney 6S Co. TO give them advice in regard
to loans, at q salary of $25, 900 year.
He found time, also, to become director
In companies, and to give mis- valuable
assistance to persons to whom Overend,
Gurney d Co. made heavy and disas-
trOus loans, and from them he received
some SIS 600 year more, with occa-
sional presents, such as yacht or some
such token Of esteem. When, at the
close OF the first year OF Mr.. EdWards'
valuable advice, or more valuable silence,
Edmund Gurnsy handed him his salary
-G5000-he received it with Thanks"
and expressed the wish that his connec
tion with so respectable house might
not be considered as ended, to which
that worthy replied, with wise slyness
attributed to his Quaker breeding ::
" Friend Edwards, don't see how we
can do without thee" Here is a man
receiving an income of $50, 900 or $50, 900
a year, chiefly for bad advice, or for hold
ing his tongue, who appears, by his own
reluctant testimony, aud by his reticence
and forgetfulness, more than his admis-
sions, to have been taking bribes on all
sides and betraying all trusted by Gov
eminent, borrowers and lenders, compa-
MES and clients; paid by all TO protect
one against the other; Ievylng black
mail all r0upd. One would naturally
infer that man so proficient in duplicity
and viiialny must have studied several
years ia Wall street and graduated ia the
that he never attended either of these
schools.

BARAfORE.

AAdlAs1AOAAAAe
The Press and Times Of Tuesday,
speaking of Barmore and the mode Of
his death, says:
"Bsrmore was killed by pistol-shot
through the top of the head, the ball
passing downward through the braip,
through the mouth, and left lodging in
the left side of the jaw. This much was
established by the post 11OrteD1 examina-
ton which was made under the super
vision OF the post commandant at COlum-
Dia. After being shot, the detectives
hands we're tied behind him with his
handkerchief, piece of rope tied about
his neck and secured to q big rock, the
whole being consigned to the waters Of
Duck river. The action of the current
swaying the body backward and for
ward, as it rose buoyant from the accG-
mutation OF gases, wore the rope, and
the moose becoming enlarged after the
lapse Of about six weeks, slipped from
the neck, and the body flcated down
with the current and was discovered, as
we have seen.
" From having been so long in the
water, the remains were terribly disfig-
urged. All the hair, whiskers and mOus-
taehe had disappeared from the head.
The body, however, was easily recog-
nlzad from the clothing, and from a pc
culisr sesr upon the right side of the up-
per lip, from q mOok.diamond breast
pin, and ftC1a the rings upon the hands
OF the murdered man. The body was
brought to the city about 5 O'Clock, on q

A fellow who has bean shaved in
China says that the barber first strapped
the razor on his leg, and then did the
shaving without any lather. The Gus
toner demonstrated, but was told that
lsther was entirely useless, anu had a
tendency to make the hair stif and
tough, and was therefore never used by
persons who had any knowledge of the
face and its appendages. After the beard
had been taken off-and it was done in
very short time-the barber took long,
sharp, needle-shaped spoon, ana begau
to explore his customers ears. He
brought up from numerous little crevices

Mr. COlfax has had intimate "talks"

smiled as ne remarked mo man will

support Congressional reconstruction"
Motley was spoken Of fer the State De-
partmeDt. Gen. Grant spoke very
highly Of HIM, saying, He would
honor the nation in any foreign position,
but he hasn't been in the country long
enough to take a seat in the Cabinet"
Mr.. Wade was most highly praised on
one occasion, when two or three gentle
men were present. The good points
were brought out and dwelt on at some
length, but the General also alluded
to the Wade and Winter Davis mani
festO against President Lincoln, and his
manner was such IS to indicate clearly
his opinion that the manifesto was a
reckless and dangerous proceeding in the
midst Of the war. He had spoken very
Kindly Of Wilson, OF Iowa, and nobody
has ever heard him say a single word
against him. l believe, therefore, that
Mr.. Wilson will be offered a Cabinet
place. 1t as) is quite probable that Gen.
Schofield will remain in the War De-
partment. Gen. Grant has discussed, in
8 quiet way, nearly ali our public men.
His favorils method is to set q friend to
talking on the subject, and then listen
quietly to his criticisms. He has said
repeatedly that some of his dearest and
most trusted friends will not be among
the favored ones. 1t isevery where known
that he very much respects and loves
Senator Wilson, but he will not ask him
to take a seat in the Cabinet, and the
subject, / have reason to believe, has
been talked over between the dlatin-
guished gentlemen Washington Cor
