iuring his spine lie was at first removed

Joking A Commander.

At the beginning of the war, the
Union forces in Kentucky were COM
manded by Gen, Nelson. He was a
fearless and capable officer, but his
rough manners caused him to be feared
and disliked by his men. The South
ern Bivouac tells this anecote as Illus
trative of the view the men took of him.
The general had his headquarters in
the woods in a secluded place. Many
of the teams in the supply trains were
driven by men who were not enlisted,
and one evening driver was grumb.
ling because his wagon wasn't unloaded
quick enough to suit him.
The man who was receiving the stuff
was practical joker. and pointing to
Nelson's tents, some distance away, he
said to the teamster,-
Fright over there in those tents is a
man whose business it is to look after
these wagons, and he has lot of fell
lows there to help him. You 20 over
and tell him to come on. He'll try to
bluff you, but you make him come.
The man went, and finding Nelson
sitting in his tent in shirt sleeves, he
woAAoW W ouO cA0pPAu8 mM OA tuo
shoulder, said:
"Come, old man, I want you"
Maybe you think the old man wasn't
surprised, but he was. He looked up as
if he couldn't do justice to the subject,
but finally he managed to blurt OUT
"What do you mean?"
The soldier said, "Come now, don't
be giving me any of that. I'm posted
on you; come on and help unload them
wagons"
Nelson was nearly paralyzed, but
with an empatlc exclamation he seized
at his sword, and started for the team
ster, who started for tall timber. The
old man ran the teamster clean out OF
sight, and to this day nobody knows
what over did become Of him,

A few nights ago I had my sl1imbers
broken several times by the discharge
of guns. On repairing to the bank OF
the river, the next morning, to ascer-
tain the CAUSE Of Che noises found two
young men OCCUPYING d hastily CON
structed palmetto fan camp: six dead
alligators were lying around The; SaMMp,
varying in length from fonr, 70 eight
feet. The hunters had killed them
the previous night. One of the young
men was busy skinning the alligators,
while the other, with the aid of single
cooking utensil, which answered the
purpose of baking oven and coffee
pot, was preparing frugal morning
meal. The skin is removed from the
belly; the under part of the jaws, and
the inside of the legs; The skin in. the
back is worthless. As soon as the Skins
are removed they are sailed and packed
IN barrels, and shipped to q New York
hrm. The hunters receive 81 piece
Tor all hides four feet long and up
ward.
After the skins are removed the hunt
ers cut off the heads and place them on
the edge of the river, where they re-
main for about week. At the end of
that time the teeth become so loose that
they can be readily pulled out with the
fingers. The teeth from half a dozen
alligators weigh about a pound, and are
worth 81.
! The two young men killed fifty alli-
gators in the week that they hunted in
this neighborhood: They begin hunt
ing as soon as it becomes thoroughly
dark: Their hunting outfit consists of
bull's-eye lantern, in camp language
called "look- 'em-up," adouble- barreled
shotgun, or kill 'em-sure," and a
hatchet, with which they split the alli-
gators skull, and to which they have
given the very expressive name of
dynamite" The man who is to do
the shooting for the night fastens the
lantern to his forehead and takes his
place in the bow of small boat His
partner paddles the boat cautiously
along the stream, while the man in the
bow keeps sharp lookout for
alligators' eyes, which under favor
able circumstances he can "shine"
with his lantern at q distance of
200 yards. As soon as they discover a
pair of eyes they paddle cautiously up
to within a couple of feet of the alliga-
tors head and discharge load of buck
shot into it. AS soon rs the shot is fired
the paddle catches the alligator by the
jaws, which he holds together with one
hand, while he cleaves the skull open
with his Ratchet,
Sometimes the alligators retain con-
siderable power of action. When such
is the case it is rather exciting work
getting them into the boat. Sometimes
very large alligators turn the boat over.
If an alligator is not handled at once
after being wounded he sinks to the
bottom and is lost.-N. Y. Sun.

He Took tho Hint.

Almost anybody would "take the
hint" after enjoying the experience of
of the Somerville young gentleman, as
related by the Journal:
my darling, you never have kissed
me yet," he said.

gurgling laugh.
"Never," he repeated; "and I wish
you would now. Will you?"
She lid.
"Ah" he sig he'd; chow sweet it is to
feel the pressure of your warm lips on
my cheek"
"Do you know why my lips are so
warm?" she said.
"Because-be,ause," he stammered.
Because" she broke in, mo ice
cream has passed them for ever 50
long"
He took the hint.

Emperor Williams Feebleness.

A grand review of German troops took place
at Pottsdam Tuesday,, in celebration of the
fourteenth anniversary of the surrender of
the French at Sedan. Emperor William ap-
peared on horseback to review the troops, but
was overcome with fatigue when the parade
was about half concluded He struggled to
maintain an erect position, but it was evident
to the officers of his staff that no was in great
distress. At their solicitation he consented to
aismount and to enter an open carriage, from
which he viewed the rest of the evolutions.
The incident made great impression upon
all who witnessed it. 1t was evident that the
aged emperor was really ill., and that even he
realized that the final breaking up of his
strength, which has so long been feared is now
inevitable and is close at hand. The exercises
ended dismally amid undisSuised evidences of
emotion on the part of both soldiers and spec
tators. The festivities that were to have been
given in the evening in honor of the emperor's
visit have been indefinitely postponed
