honored officer of the Third Artillery, told me he
got up and walked toward one side Of the clearing
He was halted and turned back by sentinel Co

"Wh0 comes thar !" -
The voice struck him. He replied, " Friendp

The answer came, Seventh Alabama
What regiment is that on the other side y
Fifth Georgia" replied the sentinel what
battery Is that y
Here was a situation. The sergeant mutually
didn't know the name of battery in the rebel
army. Hesitation would have been fatal. by a
lucky inspiration he replied, " One of Stuarts bat
teries." Knowing that Jeb Stuart commanded their
cavalry . = -. ~.

GENERAL GR1YT7S ADVICE TO JAPAN.
From The JaDan Choya Shinbun.

From Ihe JdDdh tH0yu
We have been told that Oh the visit last year OF
General Grant the ex-President of the United
states of America the officials composing the
Cabinet asked the General, on the occasion OF the
entertainment given in his honor, II IL was ms
opinion that a constitutional monarchy was htted
to our country OF not, aud that his reply was as
8 Even if had not been asked the question that
has inst been put to me, had Intended TO oieT
vour Excellencies advice on this very subject L
have heard that there are some people III your
country who are now urging the establishment OF
a constitutional monarchy: it Is form OF govern
ment tnat may bear dangerous fruit even III c0un-
tries where the intellectual condition has been
greatly improved and would recommend you 10
ri We the matter your most careful consideration ana
not to 20 about it at once His interrogators then
thanked the General for his advice and have TAKEN
II "a a rule for guidance. This is n very current
rnmor. but we ourselves believe II to be utterly
void of foundation and set afoat by some ignorant
individuals. Our Cabinet may have treated Cen
era Grant as q distinguished guest, but IL Is not
likely that they would have questioned him aoout
the nriyate affairs of Government and, on tne
other hand General Grant should have objected To
answer any such questions saying " am here as
n foreign guest only, and have nothing to DO WIN
fine private affairs of the Government"
There is no reason why our Cabinet should pay at
tentlon to any Opn Dns expressed by foreign Vlst-
ors and we therefore dismiss the whole story as
an idle fabrication.

And lilies fresh crushed by the boat.

O. rivers are rapid, and Syrens were thleyes,
Their music was naught to the music OF leaves
Ah, Sweet do YOU ever remember
The stream and its musical howf
The story told in September,
The song of the leaves long ago
Our love was q beautiful brief song,
AS sweet as your voice and your eyes,
But frail as a lyrical leaf-song.
