The Jumping Bean.


Mr.. Fred FrelLnghuysen, son of
Secretary Freliughuysen, returned to
his home in Newark, n. J., few
days ago, SAYS the New York Herald,
bringing with him a number of Mexi-
can jumping beans, which he pro-
cured from the United States agricul-
tural department. According to Mr.
Fralinghuysen, these acrobatic beans
are very rare. They are certainly con-
sidered a great curiosity by all those
who have seen then, and no one as
yet has explained what they are.
Each pod contains three kernels.
Each segment IS rounded on one side
and A-shaped on the other, greenish-
yellow in color. and in circumference
the size of q silver 3 cent piece. When
placed on table they roll over and
skip about, sometimes Jumping a
couple of inches. When held between
the thumb and forefnger they are felt
to beat as strongly as the throbbing of
q strong mans pulse.

Three OF the largest springs Of the
Upper Strasbusy, which had never
been known to fail to throw out their
volume of fresh water even in the dri-
est season of the year, On Thursday
afternoon suddenly stopped short and
ran dry. A loud, rumbling noise was
heard, and all at ones the water began
to recede, and In less thar half an
kour the spring was entirely dry, with
no water in sight. Toward evening
the water began te ooze In slowly
again, until on Friday afternoon,
about the same hour it had gone dry
the previous afternoon a volume of
water gushed up as strong as ever be-
fore, only the water was terribly mud
dy. The banks are now filed again,
and the springs as clear and full as
usual.

Nicknames OF Generals.

From an article by George T. Viii
iams, the well-known war cores
pondent on Lights and Shadows of
Army Life, " IN the October Century,
we quote the following:
Every general of prominence had
a nickname bestowed upon himsby his
troops. Some of these names were of
8 sarcastic nature, but usually they
indicated the confidence of the men
in their leaders or their admiration
for them. General Grant was COM
monty known over the watch-fires in
the Army of the Potomac. as
Old Unlted States from the ini-
tlals of his name, but sometimes
he was called old Three Stars. that
number indicating his rank as lieuten-
ant general. Mcclellan was endear-
ed to his armyas Little Mac. Meade,
who wore spectacles, was delighted to
learn that the soldiers had named him
'Four-eyed George for he knew It
was not intended as a reproach. Burn
side, the colonel of the First Rhode
Island regiment. rose to the dignity of
'Rhody' when he became a general.
Hooker never liked the sobriquet OF
Fighting Joe, though he always lived
up to it during his career in the field.
Pope was saddled with the title of
'Saddle-bag John, in memory of his
famous order about headquarters be-
lug on horseback His men used to
say that their headquarters moved
pretty rapidly at times. Sigel, the
German general, was known in the
other corfs as 'Dutchy' Hancock
won the brevet Of Superb, from a re-
mark made by General Meade at Get
tysbUrg, when the Second Corps re-
pulsed Long streets men. Humphrey,
being a distinguished engineer, was
invariably styled old Mathematics. ,
The Pennsylvania Reserves used to
call Crawford Physics, he being a sur
geon at the beginning of his military
career. Logan, with bis long black hair
and dark complexion, was Black
Jack with his men. Sheridan, the
cavalry leader, was Little Phil. and
Sherldan's troops spoke of him as
Old Tecumseh.' The sterling nature
and steadfast purpose of Thomas
earned for him the significant and
familiar name of old Reliable. ,
Alexander Mcdowell McCook, like
Hooker, was called Fighting Nc
Cook. The New York City regiments
in the fifth corps changed Sykes to
'Sykssy.' Halleck was derisively
nicknamed old Braines, and Rose
Grams had his name shortened to
'Rosey.' Lew Wallace was
Louisa to the soldiers un-
der his command; he was a great
favorite for his fighting qualities, and
the soldiers adopted that inappropri-
ate name for want of better Kear-
ney, who had left an arm in Mexico,
was invariably known in the ranks as
'One-armed Phil Butler was styled
'Cockeye, for obvious reasons. xii
patrick was nicknamed Kill, while
Custer was called 'Ringlets,' on &C
count of his long, flowing curls; and
SO the catalogue might be prolonged
indefinitely.
Among the confederates familiar
nicknames were not so common as
with the federals. The soldiers of the
Army of Northern Virginia usually
spoke of Gen. Lee as Bob Lee Lit
tie Malone was best known as Skin
and Bone Early was called Bad
Old Man and Jackson will live in
! history as 'Stonewall ,"
