Had to Wash the Shirts.

While we were lying in camp at Rossville,
Georgia, the Sixteth Illinois returned from
their veteran furlough with number of
recruits. One of these having exhausted his
supply of clean shirts, and not yet having
learned to be his own laundress, asked Z
veteran where he could get sone washing
done.
"Doyou see those tents there by the church?
Well, go there and ask for Mr.. Morgan f.; he
does washing. He's crusty old cuss, but if
you talk pretty nice to him he'll do it for
you"
The recruit was directed, and found Cen
eral Morgan walking in front of his tent,
dressed. as was his custom, in the uniform of
a high private
"Where will fud Mr.. Morgan ?" asked
the recruit.
"My name is Morgan. Wha. will you
have? :"
81 came to see If I could get some clothes
washed"
"H-m m. Who sent you here to get your
clothes washed ?'
"John Smith, over here in the Goth"
corporal of the guard ~ (The corporal
approached, and saluted.) young mar, GO
with the corporal and show him John Smith,
so that he can bring him over here. And you
come back with them, and bring all the dirty
clothes you have 2"
They departed, and soon returned with the
guilty veteran and huge armful of dirty
shirts, socks, etc.
The General, to Smith: "Did you send this
young man here to have his clothes washedY '
''Yes, cir, for joke"
''For joke? Well, we'll have the joke
carried out. We do have clothes washed
here, sometimes. Corporal, take this man
Smith and that bundle of clothes down to the
creek, and have him wash them, and dry them,
and fold them up neatly and return them to
the owner. See that he does the job hand
somely."
The veteran went away to his work sor-
rowfully, and the General resumed his walk

more mild hammered documents

PARISH COURT-The reason
that the regular terms of this
Court are not held as the law
directs, is, that the law makes
it necessary for all courts to be
assisted by certain ministerial
otficers-and such. not being
present, justice cannot be done
to parties. t8 ftu Ht HHe
The statesmen of Louisiana
have shown that they are ''hu-
man." by errors and delays;
and some people here have
proved that they too are ''hu-
man." by oppositions and wran-

too, am compelled to adopt
the do nothing system, and

hoping that it may all turn out
for the best, but hoping against
reason, like others.
