young man just arrived in the city, once
laid some papers before the Judge. He
glanced at them, and tossed them back
to the young lawyer.
"Your Honor, what is the matter with
these papers?" asked the lawyer.
"They are not properly drawn up
said the judge.
"What is wrong about them?'' the
young lawyer inquired.
IF you don't know, I can't tell, the
judge responded. IF I had tyro in nv

than those, I'd throw him out on the side

The words were heard by crowded
courtroom. Much mortified, the LAWYER
took his leave. A week afterward he was
sitting IN the same courtroom, and the
judge said, 'Mr. , will you step to

The Unknown Dead.

Among the most noteworthy of the

ial obelisk erected at Salisbury, N c., to
mark the burial. place of the Northern
soldiers who persisted in the adjacent
prison pen during the last years Of the
great conflict. It has been estimated that
the eighteen trenches contain no
fewer than 11,70O men, buried pro-
miscuously, without the possibility Of
identification, from which Circumstance
this burial ground is known as the Gene
terry of the .Unknown Dead.' It lies
about halt a mile from the town of Sails

extent Of about seven acres, surrounded
by q massive stone wall. The cemetery

wealthiest class Of Mussulmans. One day
she was told to take all the Jewels she
had for sale to house where she had oc-

Her husband accompanied her to the
door OF the harem, and said he would
wait there for her, as he had been in the
habit Of doing. After he had stood at the
door several hours, he knocked and three
negresses app cared, and he asked them
to tell his wife to come to him They
denied that his wife had come to the

had, unseen by the black slaves, left the
harem by some other door, and gone to
their own house; but nothing had been
heard OF her there. For several days he
went about the town lnquiring for her

Cavalry Against Infantry.

Colonel Dakin, commanding one of the
SIX volunteer regiments which were raised
IN Louisiana to serve during the war
with Mexico, was strict and capable
sciplinarian, and in a short time his
regiment excited the admiration of even
veteran officers, by the ease and precision
with which it drilled and maneuyered.
One morning the regiment was drawn
up and the men were standing at ease,
after variety of marches, and charges
and evolutions, when the colouel took il
into his head to put their discipline to a
stronger test. The regiment was thrown
into square to receive calvary. The
commander rode off a few yards, and then,
wheeling his horse, came down, sword in
hand, at fierce gallop, straight at his
men. He and his steed formed an impos-
ing object, for he was big man and
his steed a big horse, and neither appear.

bayonets against which they were rushing.
The men stood the charge very well until
the horse and rider were within few
feet; then they broke right and left in
confusion, and opened passage for the

Of course the colonel was wroth, and
the way the officers and men caught il
tor few minutes was by no means agree
able to their feelings.

would you have done if thousand dra-
goohs had charged upon you as did2''
well, just try us again, colonel, and
see If we don't hurt your feelings" cried
a number of discounted volunteers.
The square again formed. Off rode the
colonel, round he wheeled, and down he
came again at full speed, dashlng straight
at the bayonets, and looking as if he
would crush the line into powder under
his chargers heels. The bayonets wayered
not, though the horse came faster and
faster, and finally, with a terrible bound,
sprung at the square. The square stood
the shock, and the next moment the
horse was stretched on the ground,
with broken bayonet in his side, and
his ii limbs quivering in the death agony,
while the stout rider lay with his foot and
knee caught, and himself unable to rise.
Not man moved, the square was silent.
steady and unbroken. In another mo-
ment the colonel was on his feet. He re-
placed the sword in the scabbard, looked
gravely and coolly at the dead horse, then
at the firm array Of soldiers, and said, in
his quiet way:
every well done, boys; both the horse
and square did their duty. Now you are
ready for the lancers.''
