A STRICT KsAPSAcK DRILL.


ga. L. b., of Westfeld, Ind, sends us
the following anecdote of his military ex-
perience
Let me give you an anecdote of some of
the joyial and lively boys whose presence
in company did more to promote health
and happiness than the hospital quilline
and opium pills. In the old Twelfth H.
diana Regiment there were four or five of
these kind of men, full of life and fun.
Here is one of Enoch Taylor's "gouge
games, as he called it. If Taylor Is liv-
ing he knows it's true, aud hope he will
forgive me for using his name.
While at camp In Jamestown, Nd, in
1861, an order was issued for knapsack
drill every afternoon. The men We're re-
quired to pack their clothes, etc, as if 60
ing on a march, and drill in that shape Tor
two hours. As the regiment was forming,
Col. w. H. Link, riding down the line, OBJ
served few straws protruding from the
lap of Taylor's knapSack. The Colonel
reined up his horse, with:
"What have you got in your KNAPP
sack ?"
Its straw, said Tay lor.
"What have you got it in there for?"
"Why, Colonel, it amt as heavy as
clothes"
$50 to your quarters, and tomorrow
want you in the ranks with everything
you have got. Do you hear?"
Cali right" says Taylor; 81 always
obey ORDERS" and he walked to his tent.
The next day he appeared in line with a
knapsack well stuffed, his overcoat and
blankets forming roll about the size of
ten-galIon key, and long enough to extend
six inches beyond his shoulders each way
causing him to occupy the space of tw,
men in the ranks. The Colonel rode down
the line; Taylor's appearance caught his
gaze, and he halted i'll front of him.
"What in thunder is the matter with
you?"
Nothing at all, Colonel > says Taylor,
"You told me yesterday to bring every
thing had, and I've done so.
Colonel should think you had"
Taylor" JUS SO"
Colonel "Does all them belong to
you?"
TAYLOR" Yes but forgot my frying
pan it's down to the tent"
Colonel For Gods sake go and get it,
and when you get it, stay with it. Go to
your quarters
sAli right" says Taylor; 81 always
obey orders. I'll 20 and write to mother
while you drill, and I'll tell her all about
this, and hereafter / don't aim to be i'm
posed on. l can carry as big bundle as
anybody, and no straw in it. II Rochester

WHIST VS.. EUCHRE.

It is a little singular that the increased
interest in whist which has in the past two
or three years shown itself in this country
has received such slight notice. Silently,
and without any apparent cause, that
game of cards has assumed that place III
popular estimation which was recently
held by euchre, "seven-up" and other
kindred games Perhaps the change may
be best indicated by contrasting public
taste i'll this respect as 1t vas SIX or eight
years ago with what one finds it to be at
the present time. Then it was the excep-
ton to lind, say ON railroad train, four
persons, willing to play game of cards,
who knew, or had any desire to know, how
to play whist. The game was looked upon
as one which demanded degree OF thought
and attention which few cared to give, and
hence those whist players making journey
of any length, whose eyesis.ht did not per
NIT them to pass the time III reading,
were forced to accommodate themselves Ia
the matter Of card playing 10 the feebler
efforts of their cnance associates. At
the present time, however, under circum.
stances such is those Just mentioned, 1t Is
very Common thing to find That the game
first suggested is whist, and that out Of
several groups Of players fully half OF them
viii be engaged in this diversion. Posi-
bly, partial explanation OF this revolution
IN sentiment is TO be found in the loss OF
interest that euchre has sustained. That
game, in the efforts made by its friends to
uphold its popularity, has undergone sew
eral transformations, and the forced INTRO
duction OF the "joker" or "best bower "
into the scheme was desperate but I'M
successful attempt to revive tagging in
terest. For time the efforts seemed
promising, but the triumph was short
one, and now the apathy in the public mind
as regards euchre is too deep to he shaken
off by meretricious devices. Euchre had
little real worth upon which to sustain it
self, aud is now so thoroughly doomed
gsme that it IS DOUBTFUL if the next gen.
Grafton of card-players will be acquainted
with it other than by name.-[New York

GREELEY ON COLLEGE MEN.

Mr.. Greeley, as almost everybody knows,
hated young men fresh from college worse
than he hated Democrats-which is saying
a good deal. l remember one occasion
when, in my presence, a young man armed
with strong letter OF introduction made
his appearance in the old mans office. Mr..
Greeley read the note carefully and then
turned upon his visitor:
81 see you want place OF my paper, u
he BEGAN. "What are your qualifications
How much newspaper work have you ever
DONE"
"I-that is" responded the stranger,
in hesitating tones, you see by my letter
that | am graduate of - Univ"
That's no recommendation here. What
can you do? What do you know about
journalism"
By this time the young chap was desper-
ate, and he spoke with some asperity.
81 come from Litchfield, Conn, where
have done some work on the local weekly.
And, by the way, am WE'LL may say
very well-acquainted with your brothers
in-law who lived there, the Messrs. Smith. -
is that so ? exclaimed Greeley. with a
sheer. Well, then, if you want to know
what think of that, | must say you are
acquainted with couple OF id mean
men. Good morning"
And, as the young chap fed, Greeley
turned to me with scowl and added :
"When take oae of those Internal college
fools upon the paper without some other
recommendation than their graduating pa
pers, just let me know about it, will you "

Affairs In AE;hanistan.
CABUL, January 22i-Matters here are
very unsettled. An outbreak is possible at
any time, and is almost certain to occur as
soon as the snow melts. Mohammed Jan is
very popular among the Afghans, who will
willingly follow him again when called upon.
They do not admit their defeat, and say they
were only dispersed because they had no
cannon with which to dislodge the British
from Sherpur but that the next time they
will bring cannon. Sherpur has been greatly
strengthened, but is too large for the present
garrison of 5000 Europeans and 1880 ma
tives to hold, and at the same time
take the offensive against a combination
of equal strength. The Kopistanis continue
to treat, but they cannot be relied on to keep
quiet when the disturbances recommence
Two influential Sidsrs of Wardak have
come in, and it is hoped others will follow
The excitement at Ghuzni and Logar contin-
ues. Mahomed Jan is actively preparing for
another rising. The uncertainty whether the
British intend to hold or abandon the country
prevents influential chiefs from cordially CO.
operating with US, or preparing a Govern
ment to succeed US. Nothing can be done
until our policy is known. 1t is believed that
if the Afghans are left to choose an Ameer
they would choose Ayoul Khan, commander
of Herat who is avowedly hostile to the
British and friendly to the Russisns.

| sOlyed-ayes 81 noes 2l-that when the Senate
adjourn to-day it be to meet on Monday.
Bayard's resolution was then ken up, and Coke
made speech thereon. He said that this was
very different question from an Endorsement of the
| orig nal issue OF Treasury notes Whatever might
be thought OF the policy of issuing the greenbacks,
they had been issued, pronounced constitutional,
and formed for many years the principal part Of
currency. They were no more questionable than
other results Of the war. Greenbacks were part OF
the public debt, guarantee by the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution. He CLAIMED that
this was movement in the interest of national
banks, and said that if the banks get this
luton passed they can double their issues. This is
the great stake they are playing for. He thought
there was joint mCveInen Of some corporations to
entirely demonetize silver, SO that we would have
only bank notes and gold.
After executive session the Senate adjourned.
