How Lees Army Was Counted.

When Lees army was passing
through Chambersburg, Pa, in 1868.
on the way to Gettysburg, Mr.. Messer.
smith, cashier of the bank, took sta
ton on the steps and undertook to
ascertain the number of rebels, tally
ing every hundred men on slip of
paper in his hand. A rebel officer
orleredf him to desist under threat
of being placed under arrest. Mr..
Messersmith bowed and proceeded to
his barn and obtained 100 grains of
corn, which he held in his rig hit hand,
which was thrust in his pantaloons
pocket. He again took his stand on
the steps Of the bank, and for every
hundred men that passed he dropped a
grain of corn. When his hand was
empty he had numbered 10000 men,
and then he gathered the grains up
again to repeat the enumeration.
Thus he stood in the hot sun-and
indeed, the weather was scorching at
tho time-counting until he had
numbere d tho entire host, amounting
to 10000 men. During the night he
communicated to Gov. Curtin the in.
formation he had thus obtained.-

The Su1tan's Piano.

On a certain occasion the late
Leopold de Mayer, the popular pianist
of Dresden, was summoned to play
before the Sultan at Constantinople.
He borrowed grand piano and had
it set up in large reception.room at
the palace. When the monarch en-
tered the room he started back in
alarm, and demanded of his atten.
dants "what that monster was, stand
ing there on three legs?'' Explana-
tions followed, but were in vain. The
legs had to be taken off and the body
of the instrument laid fiat on the
floor: and Leopold de Meyer, squat
ing cross-legyed on mat, went
through his programme as best he
could in that awkward attitude and
without pedals. But the "Comman-
der of the Faithful was delighted,
and when the last piece was PLAYED
gave the artist $4,000 as ''backsheesh.' -

There are ofew people who ever thinks
about attending u funeral, except Die dos

one of the grandest attributes Of hutaAn
