. party of men standing on the Third
STR et bridge saw a colored man coming
toward them very much under the in
auence Of liquor. He stopped tor .
moment by the rail on the east side, then
clambered up, and fell overheard.
Henry and Winfield Butler, William
McMurray, and William Mckinney OBJ
tanned one OF Mr.. Bar ford's boats. and
started out to save the man IL possible,
but finding that he had sunk to rise no
more, instituted search for his body
They were Joined by q number OF
others, but 1t was not found until nearly
IL o'clock, when McMurray and Nc.
Kinney, who belong to the schooner
Seamen's Bride, now lying at the
wharves of the Kepnebec Ice and Coal
Company, found 1t near where he fell
in, and made 1t fast to the wharf.
The Coroner was notified, and under.
taker Palmer took the body to the
morgue, where the Coroner will hold an
inquest this evening at o'clock.
ltwas ascertained this morning that
the deceased was named George Lloyd,
that he was about 30 years of age, and
a hard drinker. He generally found
employment around the market in de-
livering meat for the butchers, and
doing errands. Tuesday night b. stayed
with family named DENNY on the
South side, and was very m Ich under
the influence of liquor when he came
there.
Although it is generally believed that
he committed suicide, some of the meI
who were on the bridge say that they
think he only intended TO climb on tb.
rail and accidentally fell overheard.

GENERAL JUBAL EARLY.


w usulllStOn AOT. view Nuii
Old Jubal Early is a character in Virginia,
He is drawn up into hard knot with rheum-
atism, and has face like hickorvnut His
voice is pitched on a 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 he fought vahantly 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 in his brigade a South
Carolina regiment. 1t was observed that old
Jubal was always sure to put that regiment
in the most ticklish place when the brigade
was under fire. During one of the bales
around Richmond Earlys brigade was
ordered to the front, and, as usual, Early
made the South Carolina fellows head the
column, squeaking out at the top OF his voice
as he rode up to them: Yes, I'll send you
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 out!'
During the WAR he went to church only
once, and his experience then was not such as
to encourage him to go again. 1t WAS in the
winter Of 1854, when the southern states were
agitating the expediency Of CONSUMPTION.
sen r~aTly WAS one oI tne most ATuent dlNo-
Gates Of it He talked CONSUMPTION in season
and out of season, and wanted 10 conscript
everything One Sunday morning. to the
amazsment Of his staff he proposed that they
should ride over to a neighboring church and
hear the sermon. The officers were nearly
paralyzed at the proposition, but, Of course,
consented promptly. The country congrega-
ton was astonshed at seeing Gen. Early and
his entire staff march solemnly into church
and take their seats in the front psws. As
soon as old Jubal settled himself he laid his
head back and relapsed into a comfortable
nap. The clergyman took for his subject the
testimony of the truths of Christianity. After
preaching an hour or twphe asked;
What would YOU say, my brethren, il the
dead of all times and nations and ages should
pass in solemn review before youi What
would be your feelings at seeing this vast and
countless multitude from the grave What
would you do with this army of men of all
trades, all grades, all professions all OF every
kind, before youi l repeat" with whack
ON the desk what would you DOR
"Doin bawled Jubal, suddenly aroused
frlm his nap, I'D oonscript every one
of themn
A roar went up from the congregation, and
Jubal made bee line for the door.

They Laughed 1t Last.

The most unfortunate attempt at re-.
producing another's wit was made by
an Englishmm who didn't understand
the pun, but judged from the applause
with which it was greeted that it must
be excellent. During dinner at which
he WAS guest o waiter let boiled
tongue slip off the plate on which he
WAS bearing it, and 1t fell on the table.
The host at onoe apologized for the
mishap as lapsus lingu@ (slip of the
tonguel. The joke was the best thing
ut the dinner, and our friend concluded
to bring it up at his own table. He &C.
oordiagly invited his company, and in
structed his servant to let fall roast
of beef as he was bringing it to the ia
bio When the accident" occurr d he
exclaimed, That's lapsus ingue."
Nobody laughed, and he said again, Il
say that's a lapsus lingua." still no
one laughed. A screw was loose some
where, SO he told about the tongue
falling, aud they did laugh.
