DIDN'T WoRK.-A young man read
in the Ledger Il few weeks ago that if
you wanted to find out if the woman you
had selected as your future spouse had
good temper, you ought to take occasion
to step or her dress, or snap the sticks of
her fan, or in some other way annoy or
discompose her. :" IT," said the great
authority, who presides over the column
OF advice, "She betrays no sign Of i'll
temper she will prove model wife,
Accordingly the young man seized an
opportunity when his sweetheart was
rugged in her most killing array to step
on her trail and pulled out about three
yards of gathers, with rip like peal of
thunder, exposing about three quarters OF
the framework that makes her dress
stick out behind. But, instead of meet
ing the accident with perfect equanimity,
she TUNED around and jabbed her para
sol into his eye, called him Il lunk head
ed leper, and asked him why he didn't
wear his feet sideways. He expressed
himself as thankful that he didn't marry
the girl before finding out what sort of
temper she had, but the doctor doesn't
think his eye will grow out again,

AN ANEcDoTE OF GEN. CusrER.-A
member OF Custer's first cavalry COM
mand writes to the New York Herald:
The brigade knew what drill was but
when Custer took command he put men
through as farmers work to save grain
from an approaching thunderstorm. He
seemed to like the officers and the looks
of the men, and while he worked to make
us worthy of his lead he felt that we must
work to be worthy of such n commander.
One month under Custer made every
horse machine and every man an auto
maton.
One day trooper, whose joints were
stiff and whose bones ached from riding
an ugly horse, fell out of his set of fours
on drill, and declared he would be shot
before he would drill another alf.hour.
He was on his way to the guard house
when Custer rode up, ordered his release
and requested his presence ut headquar-
ters. The sulky-tempered trooper fol
lowed the General, wondering il he WAS
not TO be placed over against the fence
and shot. Custer had tar different inten-
tions. Bidding the trooper sit down, the
General calmly inquired
" Why do you refuse to drill ?"
Because | am tired out and shaken
up, and | know all about every drill"
When | took this brigade" said the
General, 81 thought knew just how to
command it. l have learned something

The soldier was silent.

To THE POINT. T.-She and he were saun.

To THE PoINT.-She and he were saun-
tering down Colonel Johnson's lane on II
delicious Sunday afternoon, not long ago,
close to our beautiful Danville, stepping
with the grace of stal-fed kline. The
evening was glorious, but neither one of
them said SO. Two bluebirds, perched
on the top OF a fence post just in front of
them, put their bills together, fluttered
their wings playfully, and made an affec-
tionate noise. A worm passed from one
birds bill to the other, which she saw,
but he did not. He was sentimental,
had long wished to express the bottom
feeling of his heart, and now was his
chance. "Oh, Nancy N-a.an-cy ~ he
exclaimed show | would like to press
my lips to your'n jist as lovin' as them
two birds kissed each other" Nancy

THE vigorous efforts made by certain
Democrats to prove that Gov. Tilden
was a Jealous war man in 1860 have re-
called President Lincoln's story of the
California Judge who produced Vir-
ginia witness to prove that he had never
been hostile to the Union. The witness
swore that the Judge was as loyal as he
was himself but on being questioned
could not recall an instance in which he
had exhibited any loyalty. At last he
was asked, "Well, when Fort Sumter
was fired n what did he say ?" 81 dis
remember what the Judge did say, Tut
know he felt just as l did," "And pray,
sir, how did you feel ?" "Well, the fact
is always have felt that the firing on

"I forgot to ask you il you would

young lady, demurely.

IN think Of it," answered Barbara,
evasively.
"No, but tell me now. Quick, the

Barbara had taken the little thing in
her arms, and disappeared ere it had
time to utter its waking wall.

those who had lost or were in search of
friends, while many thousands of deeply

closed for the next week Business was
generally suspended on Wednesday, and
throughout the city a feeling of the deepest
gloom prevailed. The fire originated on
the stage during the performance of the
last act of the " Two Orphans" and spread
like lightning. Smoke aud flame filled the
house and a fearful panic seized the audi
ence. In the rush to the doors, women
fell in the aisles and were trampled upon.
Among those who persisted were two actors.

a MEAN BUsINkss.-One day last week,
party OF men came to town and got full
Of whisky. On their way home in the
evening, they took several planks from
small bridge at Sites mill, by which
gentleman in attempting to cross it made
narrow escape from being injured. They
also tore down some fence near the bridge
over the creek, and passing on they made
raid on the fences of Mr.. Lodore, tearing
off rails, and breaking some and carrying
others some distance away. Besides these
acts, they raised ''Cain" generally. The
guilty parties are not positively known,
but there is a strong chain of circumstantial
evidence going far to point out the perpe-
traitors of the mean acts
