THE SILENT CAPTAIN.
How .Stonewall jackson Slept--His
Singular Reticence.

Col. kyd Douglas III The Philadelphia
Times: Gen. Jacksons troops and his
cncmy's believed he never slept; the
truth is he slept good deal When
ever he had nothing else to do he went
to sleep, especially in church. ! re-
member during the invasion of Mary
land, on Sunday night he rode three
miles in an ambulance to attend church
in Frederick, and then fell asleep as
as.soon the minister began to preach his
head fell upon his breast, and he never
awoke until aroused by the organ and
choir, lie could sleep anywhere and
in any position, sitting IN his chair, UNI
der fire, or on horseback On a night
march toward Richmond, after the
battles with Mcclellan, he was riding
along with his drowsy staff, nodding and
sleeping rs he went. We passed by
groups of men sitting along the road
side, and engaged i'll roasting new corn
by fires made of fence rails One group
took us for cavalrymen, with an inebri-
atcd captain, and one of the party, de-
lighted at the sight of Il man who had
found whiskey enough to be drunk,
sprang up from the fire and, brandishing
II roasting ear in his hand, lcaped down
into the road and selling the generals
horse, cried out, II say, old fellow, where
the devil did you get your liquor?' In
an instant, as the general awoke, the
fellow saw his mistake; and then bound
ing from the road he took the fcnc" at a
single leap, cXclaiming, Good God, it's
old Jackl' and disappeared in the dark
ness, Yes, Gen. Jackson slept Il great
| deal, but he was never caught mapping
He gave to sleep many moments
which other men would have given tC
conversation. He was essentially Il
silent man; not morosc, but quiet. lie
smiled often, rarely laughed He never
told a Joke, but did not discourage them
in others. and if one struck his peculiar
fancy he would smile in mild approx
nj. He did not live apart from his
staff, but he liked to have them about
him, and they We're nearly all very
young men. Universally polite in
manner, he encouraged the livclicst
conversation among them, although he
took little part in it, He was not a
man of words; they seemed to EN-
barrasS him. When he had ideas he
put them into action not into language.
His military dispatches were as brief as
if studied, like the one he sent after the
defeat of Milroy: God blessed our arms
with victory at Mcdowell yesterday.
He never discussed his plans; indeed,
he never told them. The next officer to
him never knew his intention nor OBJ
icct He never volunteered his opinion
to his superior, nor asked advice from
his suhordinatcs. He was as Sclf-reliant
as he was silent, and believed che
walks with speed who walks alone. .
He was rcticcnt to Il fault. IF my
coat knew what intended to do, I'd
take il oil and throw it away" was one
of his sayings This reticcnce often led
to embarrassment and complaint from
the officer next in command, and might
have led to disaster in case of his death;
but he evidently thought it better to run
that risk than the risk of having his
plans discovered

An Interesting Phase of MormoniSm.
Salt Lake Tribune.

\ curious incident came to our notice
Il few days ago which is worthy of no
tee \ threc-ply polygamist, living Il
few miles south of Salt Lake City, who
desired fourth, boldly declared his
intention to young widow residing in
Zion and pleaded for her hand-thc
heart was not in question but was
fatty refused As his own pleadings
had awaited him nothing hc forthwith
dispatched his No. to do his counting
and carry ont his design, Entreates
ON one side met rcbuttal ON the other.
when at last the young widow asked if
she No. y did not act against her own
will and to her own dctrimcnt when
the last mentioned answered: Il do
not wish Mr.. ----tO take any more
wives, hut 80 deteSt and hate the very
sight of his No. that | would do any
thing in my power to thwart her happi-
ness.

IT is easy to pick holes in other pco-
pies work, but it is far more profitable
10 do better yourself Is there a fool in
all the world who cannot criticise? Those
who can themselves do good service are
but rs one to a thousand compared with
those who can see faults in the labor of
Others.

THE FOURTH OF JULY

was invented 10y man whose name l.
dear to all American hcarts-Georgc W.
Washington BY an ingenious arrange
ment the Fourth of July was SO con
trivcd by the inventor that it would
always fall on a rainy day. 1t has
missed it only once in the past twelve
hundred wears, and on that once it hail
ed all day. The Fourth of July was
not the only invention of this great and
good man He invented name that
will fit two-thirds of the boys of every
generation in America. 4 grateful
people can never forget the fact, and
Washington when at the zenith of his
power, was nominated by acclamation
for the capital of the United States
Washington was once discovered pray
ing at Valley Forge, and from the great
stress laid upon the incident by all his
torians, it is judged that it was the only
time anybody ever caught him praying
He was n brave, good man, but he dress
