THE CONFEDERATE ARMY.

For Englishmen especially, the story
of the American civil war must always
possess he most powerful attractlops
On both sides the principles involved
were those W hich most deeply affect 'ohr
own national feeling; the language, the
race. the ideas of the combatAnts were
our own. The army otNorthern Virginia
in particular, from the nature OF the o'-
fense it had to maintain, aud the charac
ter it earned and sustained, enlisted and
will for generations continue to enlist the
strongest English sympathies. 1t 1ouSht
with English tenacity, English reckless
ness of Consequences, English tndlfference
to odds, what vas from the first very
doubtful and soon became an evidently
losing battle. Once only was IL larry
beaten in open field over and over again.
both on the offensive ahd on the defen-
sive, it proved itself more than a match
for apparently overwhelming odds. Its
composition resembled very closely that
of our own volunteer reg giments. Its
chiefs were men whose personal charac-
tor and public conduct displayed all the
| virtues on winch Englishmen most HrIde
themselves; as the people of Virginia
are, perhaps, the most thoroughly EnSIlsi
of all the many offsets which tho mother
race has planted in every part OF th'
world. Gen. Lee was type OF the IDEA

eecentricities, but scarcely one OF l''
worse and meaner features, the historic
character of the Puritan leaders. stuart

THE ANIMAL IN THE Box.

There is a sad young man up in Michi
gan avenue today. He got up very ear
ly yesterday morning, aud rugged up a
box and hung upon it a sign reading:
/ ont annoy the baboon." A great many
looked into the hox and were annoyed by
boots and yells, and the inventor of the
sell was waxing fa.,, when along came a
six foot farmer with his weather eye
open for living cnriositics. When he
saw the box and sign, he hitched his
team and made an inspection. There
was no balloon in the box. No, sir; there
wasn't even the faintest trace of one.
The young man was leaning against
the fence aul laughing his sides sore.
whep the farmer approached and asked:
"Did you have any baboon in that
box ?"
"No, of course not,
"rhen, why that sign? If there is n"
baboon there, how can he be annoyed
I'd lick a man who'd annoy baboon of
uine."
"Why, it's only SELL" explained the
young man.
"What's a sell =
"Why to-day is April rool day"
'.Ncver heard of any such day in my
life. Young man. don't you dare lie t"
me can take a joke as well as any
man, but can't be babocned to-day or
any other day. Where's that animal p
"Never had any,
"Never hal u balloon in the box, yet
you hang out a sign that people mustn't
poke him up and annoy him! Boy, that's
false prctencesw
"Put can't you take a joke ?"
"a joke where is the joke in forbid
ding us to annoy the baboOn when there
isn't a baboon within a thousand miles
ofus9 Other folks may not resent it,
but 1 can't be imposed on without a
rumpns"
He hauled the box down, kicked OFF
the Stats, and them he picked up the
young man, turned him end for end,
twisted him up, and jammed him into
the baboon box. 1t was an awful close
fit, aud there was a heap of kicking, but
the baboon got there all tie same, and
after the farmer had driven away they
had TO pull the box to pieces to get the
living curiosity out.-Detroit Free Press.

a saving of fully 25 per cent. in cost by
use. Stone lime having advanced to 81. so
