On Thursday last an old lady tottered
on board OF the Mary Houston aud was
assisted up stairs to the cabin and given
a seat. She was about sixty.fve years Of
age and partially paralyzed. Her story
is strange one, and is worth repeating.
At the age of fourteen she ran away and

years Of age, was twenty.siy y, ars her
senior Notwithstanding this disparity
their life was happy one.
Hunter, man of political power and
influence, was appointed American Min.

Jackson, who was then President. Mrs.
Hunter went with her husband tn St..
Petersburg, where she remained, enjoy.
ing great social distinction during the six
years he filed the Office. They then re-
turned to the United States, taking up
their residence in the South on their
large plantation, By her husbands death

affair had quieted down, he, by another
transfer, would restore her to her own,
She acted on his suggestion, unfortu-
nately, as he afterwards wen into the
rebel service and was killed in one of the
battles. Left destitute and unable to re.

OF late much discussion has taken
place in the Cincinnati and Chicago
papers whether the Union troops at
Shiloh were surprised, owing to the bad
generalship of Grant and Sherman, and
so lost the first days battle, and were
only saved from annihilation or capture
by the timely arrival of Buell.. General
Basil W, Duke, of Kentucky, a Conteder.
ate officer of high reputation, and a gen.
tleman whose word was never question
ed, hes written for the Cincinnati Gazette
an account of the first days battle at
Pittsburgh Landing, in which he makes
pretty clear the delinquency and neglect
of the URion Generals, which came so
near destroying the army. The Gazette
CCepts the plain story of General Duke
as authentic and conclusive. 1t says that
it is written with Csnlor and dignity
worthy of history-that it "puts" to
shame the partisan, pettifogging style
and untruthfulness of Adam Badeau and
his Memoirs" and that, strange as It
may appear, "the brave troops who saved
that narrowed field have to look for jus-
tice to Confederate General, as the ma
ton has also for general account Of the
battle" This may be little rough on
Grant and Sherman from such Repub-
iican journal.

In the woods or on the way t. be- the editor Of Its
weekly paper had some subscribers who paid in
wood others in produce, others in fur, and others
yet who didn't pay at ALL One Of these latter
class was name d Lemon, but to squeeze anything
out Of him was next to impossible, He had ex'
cuses at his tongues end for not paying, and the
longer the debt stood the more reasonable his ex.
Cuses seemed to his creditors. One day the edi-
tor met him on the street, and after general
greeting began on him with:
"Mr Lemon, you have been owing me for two
years."

"But you might have brought wood"

hides behind the real. How few things
come up to our expectations. Most girls
have an ideal husband in view-a kind.
hearted, noble man with the figure of an
Apollo and the beauty of an Adonis, who
pays the same delicate attentions to his
wife that he did before their troth was
plighted. The real husband is b.usque,
matter-of.faCt, unsentimental; he eats his
meals at a downtown restaurant, and
only remembers that he is married when
he ls obliged to pay the household ex.
penses. The ideal housewife is a woman
who keeps her home in the most de-
lightful order, who cooks the most deliC.
rOus dim rs and presides at the table
with the grace of queen. The real
housewife is woman whose face is red
and blaz I'd with cooking over a hot
stove, whose voice is sharp and ernest,
and who is given to gossip. The ideal
baby is little fellow with the daintiest
tinted cheeks the Curliest hair, the
sweetest little "Coo," and with angels
