Army Punishments.

In different sections of the army, va
rious expedients were resorted to for
the purpose of correcting minor offenses.
What particular shape the punishment
should assume depended very much
upon the inventive faculty of the Field
and Staff, or of such officers of the line
as might have charge of the case.
Before taking the field, a few citizen
sneak-thieves were discovered prowling
about among the tents. These were
promptly drummed out Of camp to the
tune of the '.Rogues March," the whole
regiment shouting in derision as the
miserable fellows took to their heels
when the procession reached the limits
of the camp, where they were told to be
gone, and never show their faces in
camp again on pain Of a more severe
handling.
If, while we We're lying in camp, a
man refused to do his duty, he was at
once taken to the guard-house, which
is the military name for '%.lock-up."
Once there, at the discretion of the Off
GERS, he was either simply confined and
put on bread and water, or else ordered
to carry a log or a knapsack filed with
stones, 1.-TWO hours on and two of" day
and night, until such time as he was
deemedto have done sufficient p%enance.
In more extreme cases a court-martial
was held, and the penaltyof forfeiture of
all pay due, with hard labor for thirty
days, or the like, was inflicted.
One day down in front of Petersburg,
y number Of us had been making q
friendly call on some acquaintance over
in another regiment. As we were re-
turning home, we came across what we
took to be a well, and, wishing a drink,
we all stopped. The well in question,
as was usual there, was nothing but q
barrel sunk in the ground; for at some
| places the ground was SO full of springs
that, in order to get water, all you had
to do wa to sink a box or barrel, and the
water would soon collect of its own ac-
cord. STOPPING down and looking into
the barrel in question, Andy discovered
a nan standing in the well, engaged in
bailing out the water.
Whats he doing down there in that
hole?" asked some one of our company.
why" said the guard, who was
standing near by, and whom we had
taken for the customary guard of the
spring, '.you see, comrades, our Colonel
has his own way of punishin' the boys.
One thing he won't let 'em do-he won't
let 'em get intoxicated. If they do, they
go into the gopher hole. Jim, there, is
in the gopher hole now. That hole has
a spring at the bottom, and the water
comes in pretty fast; and if Jim wants
to keep dry, he's got to keep dippin' all
the time, or else stand in water up to his
waist-and Jim isn't SO mighty fond o.
water, either. Harry Kie6er, IN st.
Nicholas.

Narrow Escape From a Shark.

A colored boy from Mexico, fifteen
years of age, employed on board of the
steamship City Of Puebla, now in this
port, had q wonderful escape from a
large shark at Vera Cruz. The boy
couldnot speak English, but Commodore
Deakin, commander of the steamship,
who had been an eyewitness, told the
story yesterday. He said: ..We We're
lying outside of the harbor at Vera Cruz
loading, as we were afraid of getting
the yellow fever if we went into the
harbor, and this boy Pedro, was clean
ing out a boat which was lying along
side the vessel. He was leaning over
washing off one of the seats when a
sharks jaws appeared above the surface
and made a snap for the darky. But
Pedro was warned just in time, and
went overheard or the opposite side Of
the boat at the same moment as the
shark landed in the boat. The shark
floundered around in the boat until he
got his head over the gunwale, and then
went overheard before we could get a
chance to harpoon him. The little
darkey, almost white with fright, lost
no time after the shark went over, but
scrambled into the boat and came on
deck. We couldn't get that boy to wash
that boat out after that" Chief Engi-
neer Bloxam, the chief steward, and
other officers of the vessel, gave a SINH
lar account of this wonderful escape

On Reverence.

In all grades of society some outwar
token of respect is shown even to equal
and still more to superiors. Nor wi
any but the most thoughtless affirm til,
this is q thing of mere convention,
etiquette, "more honored in the bread
than in the observance" it spring
from a deep instinct of our nature, aa
is intimately connected with the vel
being of society. 1t not only gives fni4
to character, but, like the enamel, |
protects as we'll as beauties. Inde4
SO close is the relation which manki3
have recognized between morals ad
manners, that in some languages ID
same word suffices to express both, !
if the n could not flourish in the NEG
lect of the other. Refined and gent
manners, then, are as important as the
are pleasant; they are to be class)
among things useful no less than anon
things ornamental. And if this is TIL
case in the ordinary intercourse d
society, it is emphatically the easel
religion. If it is considered a violato
of correct taste to approach one of hig(
earthly rank without the customar
obeisance, it is a breach of proprie1
still more gross and objectionable

with coarse familiarity or outward dI
respect. The Psalmist only expressd
the spontaneous feeling of every health

Character Of the Frontier Desperate.

Let me assure you my younger read
ers that there is nothing heroic in the
Chilly the Kid" type on the frontier.
The desperate is too lazy to work for a
living. He is a thief and a cut-throat
whenever he can cut a throat without
fear. There are some brave men among
them, to be sure, but their bravery
arises from q consciousness of their
matchless command of their weapons.
They know perfectly well that they can
shoot an ordinary man dead before his
hand reaches his pistol. Often they
have the triggers of their Colts IS filed
off, and fire by swapping the hammer
with the thumb, whirling the pistols in
their hands and shooting as the weapon
comes to a level. And they are dead
shots, as they need to be. Yet the chad
men, who haunt the groggeries with
their weapons os%tentatious1y displayed,
who are given to shooting right and left
when drunk, and, indeed, to discharg-
ing their "guns'' at all times-these fell
lows will rarely take the chances in q
fair, stand-up fight. They wait until
they can ''get the DROP on a man, or
shoot him from behind on a dark night.
Don't look for any signs of chivalry
among them. They are the meanest Of
all mean brutes. 1t is well that the
changes wrought in the West by the
completion of the various railroads an
nounce that their race is nearly run.
But this is an unpleasant subject. I
have known so much of this sort of
thing, however, that / could not forbear
a word to offset the curious belief
among some young people in the East
that the Western ''bad man. is a more
noble figure than the Boston burglar or
wife heater. He isn't.-Cor. Boston

Things are Not What they Seem.

Now in these latter days q man UNI
shaven and unshorn, whose raiment was
rent and torn, drove with his chariot
into the chief city of Hunterdon County,
N. j.. which is called Pennington. And
he drove a horse whose years seemed
many and whose ribs did stick out and
seemed to burst through his shin, And
the chariot was old and rickety and
rolled with much noise and rattle3 And
the harness was tied up wit}eSnany
fall asunder.
And this nan driving up to the cara
vansary in Pennington drew forth one
of the reins from the rustic rings of the
collar, and with this he did secure his
raw-boned, spawned old plug to the
hitching post. And those who stood by
laughed and Knocked and cried, ''Doth
he so fasten his animal that he shall
hold him up that he fall not on the
%groundp"
Then the multitude came together,
even the multitude of Pennington, and
said one in scorn, s.For what wilt thou
sell that animile?" And the man said
he would take eighty pieces of silver,
but not in trade shekels. And they
offered him $40.
And the mar with the torn raiment
waxed wroth and cried: ''Verily this
/ horse which | have cherished froma
colt a whoop it oyer the ground q
mile in three minutesn
And they al laughed him to scorn.
Then said John Ramsey, q leader Of
the people and q man Of authority at
primaries and elections, Il will wager
thee money that thy horse cannot go
one mile in ten minutes"
And Jacob Vite, another man, a poll
tician of the county, cried: Verify I
will wage thee twenty broad pieces of
silver that he can travel no mile in
three minutes, and thou shalt repair
unto the hippodrome without the
gates and speed thy old plug"
Vite and Ramsey and a strange man
did all chip in, and they made up a
purse of 100 silver pieces.
But they were astonished when he
who drove the old plug did quickly
cover their money. And he drew forth
from his chariot a light set of harness.
Then he said: "Lo, this my chariot is
too heavy to speed upon the hippodrome.
Lend me, some of you, a light buggy,
or a trotting sulky, that I mayhave a
fair show.'S And some among them
brought him the lighter chariot.
And he put before it the old plug and
fastened him thereunto and started for
the hippodrome, and all the multitude
of Pennington followed him.
And when he had said to the .splug''
"Go" verify the plug did go with exceed
ing swiftness, even so that those who
beheld were made dizzy by the sight
and the eyes of those who had bet to
stand forth from their sockets, and
they drew long breaths and groaned.
For the old plug did his mile in 1852.
And the man with the ragged raiment
raked in all their shekels and did then
shake the dust from his feet and depart
to play it low on the cities and towns
roundabout. And with him disappeared
also the stranger who had Clipped in
