AHONS.
In his late contribution to Harper's
N0AtAlH Gen L. B. Marcy tells this
amusing story
The regiments are usually SO widely dis
persed in small garrisons that it is difficult
for them to establish anything like regi-
mental masses, such as are found in the
English army. Yet at one station in Texas
quite q respectable mess was formed, and a
majority of the officers of the regiment
Joined it. But, unfortunately for the aspi-
rhtiOn of some of the young subalterns,
their finances were so low and they had
become so deeply involved in debt as to be
unable to pay the somewhat extrayagant
mess bills of the large association,
and they were obliged to trough it" by
themselves in a more frugal manner,
chiefly upon supplies obtained at low rates
from the commissary. Indeed, heard of
one lieutenant (but / will not vouch for it,

perfectly depleted at one time that for sew
eral weeks he was compelled to subsist
upon rice alone. During this period of
fasting it unfortunatelyfe fell out that friend
Of his from neighboring post paid him q
most unreasonable visit, not having the
slightest previous conception or warning
of the seanty fare he was destined to en-
counter. The impoverished lieutenant put
the best possible face upon the meagre
condition Of his larder, and deceived him
With his usual urbane hospitality at about
the hour for dinner, when it was too late,
however, even had it been in his power, to
have made much change in his bill Of fare,
except to borrow little mustard from a
fellow officer, which he imagined might
make the rice diet more palatable. The
dinner was soon announced, the two
friends seated themselves at the pine camp
table when the host raised the solitary
cover, and in very beseeching way IN
quired2of his guest if he should help him
to rice. The latter, eonceiving this dish
to be the preliminary course, like raw
oysters, on the half shell, replied, q No, l
thank you, never eat rice. Then,

as to what he shonld do under the exceed

LONDON, Nov. 26.-The Times, in an

blazed away at the City Marshal, but he
