A Selfish General.

One night in the spring Of '62 Gener.
al Richardson, who then commanded a
brigade, took it into his head to inspect
the picket line. Coming upon revers
ed picket Of about thirty men under
command of the Captain of the Sec
ond Michigan Infantry, the General
saw tit to interrogate AS follows:
Captain, in case of an alarm by the
advance picket, what would you dor
''Send off a reinforcement at once. .
"And if the firing continued
81 should move up with the remain
der of my force"
"And suppose whole company OF
the enemy should press forward ~
"We'd whip them"
"But if it was regiment -
"I'd form line of battle and check
them until | sent back and got orders
to charge and capture the whole lot"
"We ell, suppose a brigade should
move down on you in battle line?"
T'd order charge, split the column
in two, and whip both halves in de-
tail"
At midnight the brave Captain was
relieved from further duty on picket
He was very indignant and considerab-
ly puzzled but, after thinking the mat
ter over for a while, he said to broth

was insane at the time Of the shooting

the insane asylum of Ward Island,
New York; DR.. Bradner, late of the
Pennsylvania hospital of insane in the

poets to prove by the following named
competent medical experts: VIM. A +.
Hammond, New York; j, Nj. Simms,
New York; ]. Gum, Chicago, and f.
Andrews, Chicago, that the wound wa :
not necessarily fatal, and was not of
itself the cause of the death OF James
A, Garfield, but that death ensued rs a
result of malpractice of the principle
physicians in charge of the wounded
man. Attiant has reason to believe
that there are material witnesses if
he can ascertain the names and resi-
dences of many such witnesses, whose
testimony would be very material The
aifiant believes rs many witnesses will
be necessary ON the part of the defense
as appear on the list. The witnesses
for the prosecution, to-wit are A; and
the court is respectfully asked to make
an order allowing any number of wit

sary. The atiiant further states that
the defendant has no means
for the payment of any expenses,
and that the afliant himself has
received nothing for his expenses, dis.
bursements, etc. The affidavit having
been read, Scovillc said: Il have been

The Census in India.

The humors and difficulties ofthe
census in India have already
been described at some length. 1t may
be worth while adding that they were
brought to an end with the conclusion
of the enumeration. On the 18th Of
July some scores of native clerks were
engaged in compiling the returns in the
Calcutta Town Hall, under the guard
ianship of some forty constables, when
disturbance arose, the origin of which
is stated to have been ''the slippering
Of Bramin clerk by policeman for
an qfense against the regulations. "
The constables used their sticks freely
and the clerks their chairs, rulers, and
inkstands; every light article in tho hall
was broken and several thousand cen.
sus returns were destroyed, necessita-
ting a new enumeration in many dis
tricts. The minor casualties were
innumerable, and four clerks, upon
whom the constables seem to have en-
ployed the accidental club rather than
the oriental slipper, had to be taken to
the hospital for surgical treatment.
