A Selfish General.

One night in the spring of '62 Gem
eral Richardson, who then commanded
a brigade, took it into his head To in
spect picket line. Coming upon a
reserved picket of about thirty men,
under. command of Captain of the
Second Michigan Infantry, the General
saw fit to interrogate as follows:
"Capain, in case of an alarm by the
advance picket, what would you do ?n
"Send of for reinforcements at
once.'
"And if the firing continued s''
u should move up with the remains
der of my force"
"And suppose whole company of
the enemy should press forward ?"
"We'd whip them ?"
"But if it was regiment ?''
"l'd form a line of battle and check
them until sent back and got orders
to charge and capture the whole lot. !"
"Well. suppose brigade should
move down on you in battle line ?''
I'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 considers
ably puzzled, but, after thinking the
matter over for awhile, he SAID to q
brother officer:
''Say, I've struck it Old Rich was
afraid my company might gobble the
whole Confederate army and throw
him out of a summers jobl If that
amt selfishness then I'd like to know
what is ?'

ADuel with Cork Bullets.

Charleston Is. O. Enterprise.
One evening last week our community
was startled by the intelligence that q
duel had been fought within the very
limits of the town. Upon Ia quiry 1t was
ascertaiDed that M essrs. Flowers and
Allsbrooks had some differences. Two
friends learned tins, and, determining to
have some fun at their expense, per-
suaded the latter to send challenge e.
the other for mortal combat. The chai-
leUge was accepted, these two young
gentlemen managing to insinuate them
selves In the position OF seconds. All
preiiminarles having been arranged the
balls were extracted from some pistol
cartridges and blaokened cork substitu-
ted ; with these the pistols were loaded.
The appointed time brought all parties
on the field of combat. At the word
"tire" one pistol went of, doing no dam
age, of course. Mr.. Flowers snapped.
After some consultation the seconds de-
clded that Mr.. Flowers should have a
second shot, whereupon he raised the
pistol above his head, with the magnap-
unity of truly brave man, and with the
words "hsre goes" again snapped his
pistol The question was then put to
each: care you satisfied ?" This having
been answered In the affi rmative, one of
the seconds gave the some hat arbitrary
order: advance half way and shake
hands" Entire obedience was render

MRS. ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Condition of Her HeaIth-The vist
10 Canada.


A special despatch from Springfield,
ILL.,, says:
Mrs. Lincoln has signified her inten-
ton of leaving this city In few days
for a winters trip to st. Catharines,
Canada, where she will put herself under
the care OF prominent physicians and
medical advisers. This step has only
been decided on within few days, and
Is caused by the fact that her health has
shown no signs Of material Improvement
since her return from France. She
makes her home with the Hon. Ninian
Edwards, her brother-in. law, and has
the most careful and delicate attention
at the hands of her relatives and friends,
with whom she is constantly surroun-
ded. She has numerous calls from her
friends and neighbors, whom she Is al
ways pleased to see, but seldom ven-
lures to return visits. On bright, sunny
days she occasionally takes carriage
ride or stroll about che large grounds
which surround Mr.. Edwards residence,
in the neighborhood OF the State Capt..
toll, but she Is Obliged to guard her
health with great care. She has been
distressed greatly by the sad death of
President Garfield, and feels deep SYM
patby for his widow and children. Her
greatest hope is for her son Robert, who
is the pride of her declining years.

Where the Seal Barks.
From the Chicago Times. ....

From the Chicago Times.
W. Beach Taylor, representative
OF the Republic OF Alaska, in the cas-
Pacity Of special agent of the Uni ted
States Treasury Department, arrived
IN the city yesterday, direct from that
ooreal region. The gentleman has
been serving the Government, in conn
pany with three other representatives,
with headquarters at what is known
as the "Seal Islands," but which are
designated on the maps as st. George
and st. Paul Islands, in the Behring
Sea. These sea girted isles, although
lying nearly 200 miles west of the
mainland Of Alaska proper, are IN
cluded in the purchase made of the
Russian Government twenty years
ago. These islands, as described by
Mr.. Taylor, are apparently of volcanic
origin, rising precipitously out of the
ocean, but each posi- sing limited
shore line, which have become famous
as breeding grounds for seals, thus
resulting in a very considerable reve-
nue. 10 the nation,
Strange as 1t may appear these two
lonely islands In the Pacific Ocean are
about the only known p -ces for seals
to appear in great number, and while
the statistics show that 100000 a.e
caught yearly In the entire world, 1OO,-
700 alone come from these islf nds. The
Government paid for Alaska originally
$S,20O,O00, and with this years catch
the Government will have received So
100000 in rental from these islands
alone. The Islands have been lea. ed
for term of years to corporation
known as the Alaska Commercial Com
pany, which pays an annual rental of
sos, 900, in addition to a tax of $2.62s
on each skin taken, and are restricted
to the capture OF 100000 seals yearly.
The temperature has few marked
changes, the mean temperature during
the summer being as degrees. The
thermometer did not fall below IS de-
grees or rise above 55 degrees. During
the winter the thermometer has not
been known to fall lower than Is de.
grees below, which any Chicagoan, with
the experiences of last winter In bis
memory, would term mild.
