THE BEST WAR JoKE.-We find embslmed
in the pages of "a Pastors Recollections"
(Rev. Mr.. DashelD the following unsurpassa-
bly, good anecdcte of the war:
Il once heard visionary criticise the slow
movement of the Confederacy in its conduct
of the war. He broached plan of his own
by which, without the possibility of failure, an
army could be marched right through the
North and scrape up all the money in Phila-
delphia, New York and Boston, and come
back by sea, bringing the spoil in safety to
Wilmington. He mentioned with an air of
consummate triumph that he had disclosed
the plan to Gen. Lee, and that the General
was forced to confess (and I have no doubt
that he did it with imperturbable gravity
that such an idea would never have occurred
to him."
Those who knew General Lee understand
this in delicious sense. But as much as we
admire it in the light of the covert sarcasm
it contains, we confess to great admiration of
that unlimited vanity which not only broke
the force of such sarcasm, but construed it as
conveying compliment to an unequalled in
genuity.
