LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


o.. are always glad to get from an out
slider anything which shall instruct or
improve. gentlemen who participated
.a,;,olv in the late war sends us the fol- |
'Ou,;ug. While Lees and Grants armies
we're confronting each other near Rich
,rond. a short time previous to the great
Strncgle which resulted in the capture OF
Patersburg, and subsequently, to the sur
lander at Appomattox, many amusing |
and harmless incidents occurred on the |
Tnas serving as episodes to distract at
.ant;on for the time being from the more
s.r;ous business of war, among which l |
,slate the following: One morning, op.
este 10 Fort Harrison-which is on the |
P;ebmoud side Of the James riyer-after
,hs usual exchange had been made be-
tween two pikcets-Northern coffee and
newspapers for Virginia tobacco-the
Federal picket hailed the Confederate, II
sav johnny, how are you off for -four to-
day2, "Got plenty" How are you off
for tea?" "Got plenty" "How are You
of for sugar." Got lots of sugar.
What in hi do you want to know that
for" "O!nothing. But have you got
any lard?" "Ies, d-n you, We have got
plenty of lard" ''Iam glad of it. Now
inst grease your - quick and slide
into the Union, for, l tell you, your Con-
federacy is gone up. NJ.
The ELASTIC. The cant phrase.
The use OF the word "elastic" when in.
curing about the condition of ones
finances, or when an impecunious indi-
yidual is pressing some more fortunate
friend for the loan of sufficient coin to
procure square meal. The newly
coined expression. Have you any selas-
tic about you?" has superseded the
worn-out inquiry, How are you fixed
for soap?" The word elastic has so
often been used of late in discussion of
the currency question that it has sup
planted the terms coin, greenbacks, col
lateral, etc. 1t originated here in Phoebe,
and is destined to have its run, like all
other similar phrases.
