Moses as a Strategist.

Joining an Illinois regiment, writes
correspondent, / was detached therefrom,
and ordered to report TO Col. p. Morrison,
the commander of Camp Butler,. Illinois.
Who, ever connected with the camp, can
forget him--his hatred, or rather contempt,
for volunteer officers, whom he always des
ignated as mushrooms saying it took
him "twenty-f live years to get his straps,
but these fellows get 'em in day. (he was
a West PoiRter(; his pompous, seeremoni-
al manner, his terrific. voice.. and awful
clearing of throat? While the Colonel was
in command at the camp he was chosen to
act as chiefmember of an examining board,
selected to test the qualifications of young
er officers seeking preferment. At one
session of this court, the candidate was a
young lieutenant, as full of waggery as
military ability. The old Colonel had
asked him many questions, and at length
propounded "IieuteRant. you are well
posted in history, and are a gentleman OF
general culture; please give the Court
your opinion as to who was the greatest
general, and the reason for that opinion"
Wilson hesitated moment, and then re-
piled: sSMoses.'' s'Moses +? Moses? young
man, you are trifiing with this Court" in
an instant said Morrison, in most yehe-
ment, angry tones, at the same time threat
enmg TO order Jne oiTendef from the room.
The other members of the Court, however.
interposed, and suggested it would be at
least respectful TO the Lieutenant to allow
him to give the reason for his opinion.
The old Colonel, becoming somewhat
soothed, then said "Well, sir, what makes
you think Moses the greatest general who
ever lived 90 s.Why, sir, !" replied the Lieut.
tenant, s.because Moses took five hundred
thousand IsraeIites over the Red Sea dry
shod, without losing man, and without
using pontoon bridge" ..Hoop! Hur-
rah p cried Morrison. Let him pass, let
him pass! Young man, you are captain.
You'd make good major-general. You
ought to be eommander-in-chief.a

AT Evansville, Indiana, on the 26th OF

wood House, and registered his name
George S. Gordon, Medina. Ohio. And ON
the morning of the 3Gth, Mr.. j. III. Hus-
ton of the Sherwood found him in his
room, where he h:d attempted to commit
suicide. He had cut his left wrist very
badly, and was quite i'll from an overdose
of Iaudanum. On finding the old man,
his first words were "For Gods sake.
kill mel / am crazy! | have burned
everythinglo All that was found OF his
effects that could give any clue to who the
stranger was, were his ring and watch, and
pair of scissors, which he had thrown in
the stove; they were all burned very bad.
He also had cane, with initials sc. 5.
| G.'' and also on the inside of the ring
were the odd initials, 6 From L. 3. to A.
B., in memory of Al. L. b. e. Band. M.
b. Mr.. Huston kept him four weeks at
/ the hotel. The old man having failed to
either explain who he was or to elicit from
his friends anything to relieve his embal-
easements or explain the mystery who he
is. he was sent to the county house.
When he first came to the city he was ac-
com panied by young man he called his
nephew. He said he was a young preach
er, and that he had gone home, and his de-
pdfDufe was all Elgnt. He uSo sdlu his
nephew had gone to take charge of con-
gregatiUn near Lexington, Missouri. lie

his health.
George S. Gordon was an old man, gray

THE MILLS HAVE CLOSED TO-DAY

ANsIE. is the baby BETTER
Worsel The Lord befriend us ail!
Cannot live? Oh, God In Heaven
Hear thy suffering servants CALI
Nearer, dearest, lest the chiloren
Hear the words have to say:
Put;your loving arms about me
For the mills have closed to-day
And our little child is dyingl
NJ! no! mol Not dying yet!s
Have YOU prayed with long beseechlng
8 For the helpless little pet?
Heaven must have mercy sometimes;
Others thrive who do not pray;
On that troubles might come singly;-
Bat the mills have closed to-day!
- ss sOtber hands have saved up money,
And can give their children bread;
Must our 6arlngs cry for hunger,
When the little one is dead
Dead! 1t cannot be she's dying!
Has the doctor gone away?
And cannot pay him, either
For the mills have closed to-day!
E Why was laid up last winter?
Reasons why are hard to learn;
1t was only this last Sunday
That the head of our concern
Gave away some tri1ing thousands
To the church-a debt to pay;
e 8 ~ He could spare it from his millions
But the mil g have closed to-dayi
Laughing2 Yes, because I'm jolly!
It's jOke--we dreamed it all!
What's the need to look so CHASTITY?
Nightmare dreams are troubles small
Aht the moaning Isl the cradle!
Mercy! Mercy! Pray, love, pray!
Death is clutching at our d1rling-
And the mills have closed to-day!

THE Misses Smith, who own farm in
Glastonbury, Conn.,, are insurrectionary.
They refuse to pay their taxes because
they cannot vote, and dare the authorities
to seize their property. Glastonbury is
the town which has had boundary line

years. If the process of law is similarly
slow in the case of the Misses Smith they
may retain their farm as long as they have
any personal use Tor it.

invain. The Mary Celeste was bound from
