FOR THEIR AMUSEMENT.

Edward Cogswell in recent number
81 Orr Continent thus relates an Incl
dent of a gallant officer, now dead, Gen.
L. w. Sherman:
Tie General was q disciplinarian of
the strictest, and martinez withal, of
whom his personal staff, as well as the
rest of his subordinates, stood in whole
some awe. His division was in winter
quarters near one of the larger South
ern seacoast towns, captured and occu-
pied early in the war, and with it was a
regular battery of light artillery, which
the general, being an artillery officer by
training and choice, used personally to
drill once or twice week, just to keep
his hand in as it were. A superb bat
terry it was, with perfect appointments
bronze guns shining like gold, fine
horses and a full complement of men
trained in the strict school of the 'sold
army
Now, in the outskirts Of the town was
q large mansion, with a fine lawn, as
Southern lawns go, in front Of it, whose
then inhabitants were three young and
charming ladies, and one or two elderly
chaperoncs, whose husbands, brothers
and cousins were all with Lee in Vir-
ginia, but who, either because they
could not see SO many handsome young
fellows in blue uniforms and abstain
from conquests, or because they thought
it good policy to be on friendly terms
with the authorities, did not treat Yam
kee admirers with the utter contempt
and scorn commonly maintained by the
Southern belle. That they were rebels
ct heart goes without saying, but se-
lect circle Of officers, including certain
Of the Generals staff, was welcomed on
many : pleasant evening to their wido
drawing-room.
On one Of these occasions ths talk

A Pointed Tale.

Jack Pringle is a man who never
wasted an opportunity, or puts off for
tomorrow the joke that can be done to-
day. Going down street last Wednes-
day he was accosted by little nervous
man who had an impeachment in his
speech.
Said the stranger: "C-can you t-tell
me w-where can g-get s-s-some t-t-tin
t-tacks?''
with much pleasure, sir" replied
Jack, who realized the position at once,
and having directed his interlocutor to
the shop Of ncighboring ironmongcr
by somewhat circuitous route hurried
off to the spot by a short cut. Now tho
ironmonger was having his dinner in a
little back parlor, and rubbing his
hands together in that peculiarly servile
manner that is characteristic in the
British shop-keeper.
do y-you s-sell t-tin t-tacks?' said
Jack, assuming stammer.
''Oh, yes, sir; certainly, SIR"
''G-g-good long ones?''
Eyes, sir; all sizes, sir.''
''W-with s-s-sharp pQints?'
Eyes, sir, very sharp points"
''W-w-well then, s-s-sit down on EN-
aud w-w-wait till c-call again"
Having ''given his order,' Jack
thought it prudent to retire at once, as
there were several heavy articles with
in easy access Of the proprietor's hands.
The old man had hardly cooled down
and returned to his meal, which had
also cooled down unpleasantly, when
the ''real Simon pure' entered the shop.
and again the ironmonger came forth,
washing his hands with invisible soap
in impcrceptible water
do y-you s-sell t-t-tin t-tacks?' said
the little man.
Luckily the door was open. so the
customer successfully avoided the seven
pound weight and the two hat-irona
hurled at him.

An Incident of Gambstta's Downfall.

A trifling circumstance rendered tho
situation more tense. The Mayor Of
Belleville. Gambettist, got up in the
interest OF his party popular banquet
in the Lime Tree Garden at Menilmon-
tant, the most democratic part of his
ACCOMPLISHMENT. The great orator was
there to explain his policy in way TO
meet tho attacks which the press was
beginning to make. In the invitations,
Of which about nine hundred were is
sued, the hour stated was seven o'clock.
This was understood to mean half-past
seven. But the dinner was not served
until after half-past eight. Gambctta
had not come. The landlord insisted
upon not waiting any longer. Two
places were kept vacant at the table of
honor. At nine 1.-The guest of the eve
ming" and Spuller entered to fill them.
Whether, habituated at the Palais Bour-
bon to the dishes of Trompette, they
had grown too dainty for the plain cook
ing Of Menilmontant, or for what other
reason; it does not appear. They had
both dined with few friends at q res
taurant. They did not at the banquet
even 90 through the polite comedy of
pretending to eat. No apology was Of
fered either at the time, nor afterward
in the press; polite tib, though a
transparent one, would have Gained ir-
ritation. Punctuality, it was remarked
soto Uoce. was the politeness Of kings,
but the elect of the millions thought
themselves higher than born sovereigns.
The speech which followed the banquet
! was listened to with icy GOODNESS. The
orator went back to the Petit Bourbon
heavy and discontinued. He had for ten
years given a mighty impulsion in a de-
mocratic sense. Ministers had been
made to feel that universal suffrage was
everything, and the executive but its
instrument. AS president of the Bud
get Committee he had made them re-
alize that power of the purse was vested
in the Chambers, and he had holly con-
tested the position of NJ. Jules Simon
that the Senate had right to amend
the budget. He had agitated for revis-
ion of the judicial bench. and tho de-
mocratization of the army. Suddenly
he turned round and attempted to push
back the torrent which he had set flow
ing. Its impetus was too great for him
to withstand, and it has pursued its
course, bearing with it other men less
renowned. -March Century.

A Dogs Revenge,

A large Newfoundland and Gordon
setter have for the last week occupied
quarters next to each other, on account
Of their non-combative dispositions.
Halt dozen yards away is the tenn
porary home of = two-year-old collie.
who has the privilege Of wandering
about the yard without restraint. On
Friday last he took the liberty Of poking
his nose into tho Rockingham Of tho
Newfoundland, . liberty that was re-
sented by sound thrashing. The collie
seems, as subsequent circumstances
proved, to have determined upon plan
Of revenge from that moment.
He went into his kennel and remain
ed there the best part of the afternoon.
Towards evening he came out, and go
ing to corner where there is pile Of
loose bricks, he seized one with hi1
teeth, carried it cautiously over to the
Newfoundland's box, and succeeded in
dropping it in front of the opening with
out being detected. After nightfall,
when the big dog had curled himself
inside TO 60 to sleep, the little collie
continued his work.
He had carried no less than sixty Of
the bricks and deposited them in front
of his enemy's house before he was dis
covered by the proprietor Of the estab-
lishment, who had occasion 10 70 into
the yard for water. The animals
actions were watched for nearly twenty
minutes before he was disturbed. He
dropped as many bricks inside the
kennel as the space between the opening
and the occupant would admit Of, and
piled the rest up outside. Then he
stationed himself in front and barked
with all his might The Newfoundland
responded to the challenge with deep
growl and made and effort to come out,
but the bricks prevented him, while the
collie jumped about an gave vent to
his delight in shrill yelps. PhiladclpA;s

headed for Melbourne and soon sighted

coming on deck one morning, Captain
Nichols found the steamer off her course
and running for another vessel just visi-

telescope lying on the after house, Capt
Nichols, after long, careful look, be-
came satisfied the sail in sight was the
ship David Brown, OF which his brother
in-law, Capt. Phineas Pendleton, Jr.,
was in command, and of which he own

his relatives meet him in such company,
and not wishing to see any more of his
property burned by the Confederates,

na.le1on in the Bends.

A correspondent Of the New York

on the religion OF the Southern negro,

some Of these black pastors will be new

celebrity among the dusky race here is

in tho police court. The following
rather amusing colloquy took place be-
