the pit of theater. All amusenents OF
youth Ia which virt,ious women are not
admitted, rely on it, are deieterious in
their nature. All men who avoid female
society have dull perceptions. and are stu
pid, or have gross tastes, and revolt against
what is pure Youclub swaggerers, who
are sucking the butts of billiard cues all

The great simplicity of his habits was
another ground Of popularity. He fared
no better than his troops. Their rough,
Scant rations were his rs well. There
We're times when for weeks his army had
nothing but bread and meat to live on,
and not enough of that. On one occasion
some molasses was obtained and sent to

was dumbfounded, and never afterward

caterer for the mess.
When the two armies were on the Op-
posiie banks of the Rappahannock in the
winter Of '63-'6i meat was sometimes
very scarce in the Confederate lines.
Even the usual half pound per diem
ration could not always bc issued. Dur
ing one ef these periods Of scarcity, on
very stormy day, several corps aud divi
sion generals were at headquarters. and
were waiting for the rain to abate before
riding To their camps, when General
Lees negro cook announced dinner. The
general invited his friends 10 dine with
him. On repairing Ia the table tray of
corIi-bread, boiled head of cabbage sea-
soned with very small piece of bacon,
and Il bucket Of water constituted the re-
past. The piece of meat was so small
that all politely declined taking any. ex-
pressing themselves as Every fond of
boiled cabbage and corn-bread," on
which they dined.
OF course the general was too polite Ia
cat meat in the presence of guests who
had declined il. But later in the :tlcr
noon. when they had all gone, feeling
very hungry, he called 10 his servant and
asked him To bring him a piece Of bread
and meat. The darkcy looked perplcNcd
and embarrassed, and after scratching his
head some time, said in n deprccating
tone. Lord, Mas Robert, dat meat what

So the general get no meat that day.
Anecdotes like these, founded on actual
facts. would spread through the army.
