Jackson and The Wagon
Tongues.

Mr.. Howell, one of thesproprie-
~ Of The Atlanta Constitution,
teceutly said Of Stonewall jack
son:
"Hi- genius lay in two things
the thoroughness OF discipline and
his devotion. | do not think ne
was man of great natural abili-
ty. He could not talk at all. He
was not an entertaining person.
He was a rigid military man, ed
ucated at West Point, he had
learned his lesson thoroughly,a and
applied it unfiinchingly. 1 re-
member single order which he
always enforced, which, In my
mind, accounted for a good deal
of success. Ii was that whenever
we stopped on q march the wag-
ons must go to the side OF the
road, and be unhitched with their
tongues pointing 10 the road, SO
they could be driven either up or
down. Now that would seem to
be simple thing but 1t accounts
for the remarkable celebrity of
Jack sons marches. Suppose D
man would stop and his wagon
tongue would point the wrong
way, and at certain hour in the
morning we would begin the
march, and that the wagon would
block up the road II their were
many such wagons the march
would be delayed o certain time
to let them get shfp-shape. He
rode up and down his lines every
day, to see If such orders as these

When Gen. Frank Pierce was
running for President, the late
Paul r. George was among the
ousioos AID nuos, alGoAt of 40 sup-
porters. Pierce appeared to place
high estimate upon the nalue of
Mr.. Georges aid.
After the election and Inaugural
ton, Mr.. George went to Wash
ington and kept up his lifelong
familiarity with the President,
never doubling that he had a great
stake in the new Administration
which he had labored so arduously
to create. He was a frequent, al
most constant, caller at the White
House; until, one day, the Presi-
dent, with somewhat lofty air,
intimated to him that some friends
had suggested that 1t would be
better If Mr.. George were seen at
the Executive Mansion less FREE
quen,ly.
Frank, you and | have always
known each other and been init
mate friends. We went to school
together and have played ball to-
gether. ! never before received
an intimation from you that my
company was disagreeable and un-
desirable 10 you. On the contrary,
/ have had many reasons to think
differently, aud especially during
the recent campaign. Now you
are President; the United States,
aud you are afraid that my COM
ing here will injure your Admins
isiration. Good-by, Frank!'
Then, suddenly rising and turn
ing on his heel, with an air of In
etfable contempt, he took abrupt
and final leave of the man whom
little authority had so greatly
changed.

Wanted to Accommodate.


Somebody says 1t always pays

doubt it. There was young Mr..
Snowman. who was always anxi-
Gus to accommodate everybody,
and at party the other night, Miss
Franks said TO him: "Oh, dear,
Mr.. Snowman, please put your foot
on the train Of Miss Sharp's dress.
And he thought that he was want
ed to do Ii, TO straighten out the
train, as it twisted over, and he at
once did so, and as Miss Sharp
had just started to walk away
there was an. 0minous ripping
sound, and a scream from the
lady, and she turned around, and
just then a lady, who had seen
him stop, cried: HE did it on
purposel'' And Miss Sharp was
terribly angry and demanded an
explanation, and he turned to re-
Ter her to Miss Franks, but that
lady was nowhere to be seen; and
poor Snowman got confused, and
Miss Sharp gave him terrible
tongue-lashing. and the gentlemen
of the party collected and AL were
indignant at his deliberate mean.

plain, but kicked him out. And
he swears he'll never accommo-
date anybody again.

..Resources of Florida.,,

The Florida Land and Improvement oom- pany, in order to supply the immense de- mand for reliable information about Florida,
 have issued large edition of valuable work on the subject, entitled 'The Resources of Florida" It contains much information, en- bodied in the pamphlet, '.'Semi-Tropical Florida, issued by the commissioner of im- migration of that State. The company has purchased from the State of Florida four million acres of land in Orange, Fernando, Hillsborough, Polk, Sumter and other coun- ties and intend sub-dividing the same into farms of 10, 20, 40, 80 and 100 acres, snd larger if desired, and placing the same in the market for sale at SIPS to $5 per acre upon long credits, so that any enterprising man, even if his means are limited, can buy 8 farm which in few years, by good management and in- dustry, will make him independent. To-day Florida is the leading State in the Union in fruit culture and will soon vie with any of her sister States in viniculture cotton, rice and tobacco. Florida is becoming year by year grand summer resort. The Atlantic and Gulf Coast Canal and 0keechobee Land company publish in pamphlet fine map showing the vast area of lands, upwards of 5000, 900 acres, to be improved by the con- struction of canal giving an outlet to Lake Okeechobee; also showing the route of canal from St. Johns river to Lake Worth, a distance of 330 miles, by the Atlantic Coast Steamboat Canal and Improvement company of Florida.

 great deal of interest was excited among the students by the class races rowed at Lake SaItonstall Wednesday afternoon. Though a dreary, dismal day, every race on the pro gramme was rowed. A much larger crowd than usual gathered at the finish and testified their enthusiasm by repeated cheers. The judges at the point were Professor Richards; at the turn, ". c. Camp, M., N. G. Osborn 80, N T. Guernsey, L.. at the finish, T. D. Cuyler 's2, J. w. Galbraith 's3, A. P. Will der 's4, E. L. Richards, ir., '55; starters, IN. G. Osborn 80, G. A. Adee '67; time keepers G. St.J Sheffield '63, ". Pollock '82
 At precisely twenty-five minutes of four D. m the Suniors came stretching down to the start, and ten minutes later the seniors were in position. At quarter to four the signal to start was given '82 caught water first, but in the first few strokes '83 was whole boats length of clear water ahead of her. Hundreds of straining eyes followed the boats till they were lost to sight around the point '83 maintained her lead the whole distance and increased it by spurt near the finish amid the cheers of the crowd, winning by seven lengths in fourteen minutes four seconds, with '82 nine and one-half seconds in her rear The race was mile and return.
 The second race was between two Durham fours, one composed of '82 men, the other of '83 men, and was mile straight away. This proved a complete walk-over for the S2 crew, inasmuch as Smith, the stroke of the 'S3
 crew, broke his oar before well under way l This of course gave the race to 'S2. Time 9:15.
 The one mile single scull race between Frank H. Beede, '83, and John P. Terry, 's3. was won by Terry in 9 minutes and 4 sec onds, with Baede 25 seconds in the rear This | race would have been much closer had Beede
 not been wearied by the first race He ! showed much pluck in attempting to row a second race at all.
 The most interesting and exciting race of
 the day was that between the sophomores and
 freshmen. The freshmen made the sopho. | naores' hearts sink as they came pulling down | the course to the start. They rowed in | splendid form considering the time they had had for practice. Nevertheless no one ex. pected they would win. The race was one
 mile straightaway. The crews both got of
 well together, the sophomores having the ad.
 vantage for atime. but lost it by unskillful steering, the coxswain taking thehypothenuse
 of the course instead of the perpendicular. There was the widest excitement as the crews
 neared the finish, the freshmen three boat
 lengths ahead 's4 then spurted and reduced
 the lead to half length. Had the signal for
 g spurt come little sooner the result of the
 race would have been different. The fresh
 men have an exceedingly strong crew and have well earned their victory.
