GENERAL JUBAL EARLY.
& Couple OF Anecdotes OF the Fa1noza
Confederate Cavalry Leader.
Washington Cor. New York Sun

Washington Cor. New York Sun.
Old Jubal Early is Il character in Virginia
He is drawn up into hard knot with rheurn-
atisn, and has face like hickorynut. His
voice is pitched on very high key, and he is
a compound Of shrewdness and sarcasm in
equal parts. He was strongly opposed to
secession at the beginning of the war, al
though be fought valiantly when fighting
was inevitable. In the Virginia convention
OF 1861 he attacked the conduct Of South
Carolina bitterly. After the war had
actually begun he had i1 his brigade South
Carolina regiment. 1t was observed that old
Jubal was always sure to put that regiment
In the most tickiish place when the brigade
was under fire. During one of the bales
around Richmond Early's brigade was
ordered to the front, and, as usual, Early
made the South Carolina fellows head the
column, squeakiug out at the top Of his voice
as he rode up to them: Eyes, III send Won
to the front and I'll keep you there, too.
You got US into this fix, and, d-n YOU, you've
got to get us Quit"
During the war he went to church only
once, and his experience then was not such as
to encourage him TO go again. It was in the
winter Of 1854, when the southern states were
agltating the e1pediency of a CONSUMPTION.
Gen. Early was one of the most ardent aSvo-
Gates of it. He talked Consumption in season
and out OF season, and wanted to conscript
everything. One Sunday morning. to the
an1azement of his staff, he proposed that they
should ride over to neighboring church and
hear the sermon. The officers were nearly
paralyzed at the proposition, but, of course,
consented promptly. The country congresa-
ton was astonished at seeing Gen Early and
his entire staff march solemnly into church
and take their seats in the front pews. As
soon as old Jubal settled himself he laid his
head back and relapsed into comfortable
nap. The clergyman took for his subject the
testimony OF the truths of Christianity. After
preaching an hour or two he asked:
What would you say, my brethren, if the
dead OF all times and nations and ages should
pass in solemn review before youa What
would be your feelings at seeing this vast and
countless multitude from the gravel What
would you do with this army of men of all
trades, all grades, all professions, all of every
kind, before you. I repeat" with a whack
on the desk, what would you dor'
dot" bawled Jubal, suddenly aroused
from his nap, ''Td conscript every - one
of themin
A roar went up from the congregation, and
Jubal made a bee line for the door.

Progress in Gunnery.
[St. Louis Globe Democrat.


The progress in gunneFy was well Illus
trated by the latest experiment at Shoebury-
ness. A target forty feet thick was set up
composed Of an outer coating Of granite
blocks foot and half in thickness, and a
solid interior of concrsts and brick. Against
this at one trial was hurled shell weighing
$50 pounds, with a charge Of $50 pounds Of
powder, the gun standing at a distance of
300 yards. The initial velocity Of the shell
was over 500 yards second. The blow
completely destoyed the facing OF the target
by dislodging several OF thu granite blocks
and deranging most Of the others, while the
ahot buried itself several feet deep in the
brick-concrete filing. At another time a
ball was driven through a target consisting
Of eighteen inches of rolled-iron plate and
eight inches Of teak. Again, shell was
forced for eighteen feet into a solid granite
wall forty feet thick. There is nothing in
ferior about guns that will do this.

Equan.sntty sn the Whs. House

The President said recently in CONVEX
an infexible rule since his accession to
Office to preserve his equanimity under
any and all circumstances, that he had
to a great extent succeeded in doing this,
and that therefore he believed he had ex-
tracted more of comfort and less of worry
from the position than perhaps any of his
predecessors. The suggestion was then
made to him that it would be more than
usually pleasant thing under such circum-
stances to be his own successor, but he re-
piled quickly that he had never permitted
himself to think on that subject.

Out at the Zoo there is a small hole-prob-

the blacksnakes cage. A good fat toad had
crowded into this hole, and the snake darted
in his head after him and speedily swallowed
him. But with this incunbrance he found
he could not withdraw himself Then he at
once disgorged the toad, which, finding him
self free, began to move of. This was too
much for snake philosophy, and the snake
again swallowed him, and second time was
compelled to disgorge him, for ne could not
get his head ont. But he reflected. He had
learned something. He reached out third
time, and grabbing the toad by the leg backed

greatest evils which men elsewhere have tc
suffer, the convicts in eastern Siberia are
happily delivered. There is indeed marriage
and giving in marriage, but there is no court
ship. nor need any man complain that he is
mated to a savage" or shrew. When a
prisoner wishes to get married, all he has to
do IS to send in an application to the over
seer, who straightway allots him a wife.
Three days probation is then allowed, and if
any incompatibility of temper seems likely
to arise the man receives twenty-five lashes
and another wife, and SO on until he is con-

How Prairie Dogs Get Water.
TGO0d Cheer

It has always been subject of curiosity
and inquiry as to how and where prairie dogs,
living on the prairie, far away from any
river or stream, obtain their water Mr. F.
Leech, frontiersrnau Of experience, asserts
that the dogs dig their own wells, each village
having one with a concealed opening. He
knows of one such well 300 feet deep, and
having a circular staircase leading down to
the water. Every time a dog wants 10 drink
he descends the staircase, which, considering
the distance, is no mean task. In digging for
water the animals display as much pluck as
they do in resisting the efforts Of settlers to
expel them from the land CT their progeni-
