Aa4 0o4 IN tho ConfedofAcy.
From Texas Siftings.
One cold Christmas day when the pros
poets Of the confederacy were as gltomy
as the weather, an Arkansas soldier,
whose clothes looked as though they had
been run through threshing machine,
approached General Hindman, who sat
on stump near the fire and said:
"Gineral, wouldn't little aig nog go
putty we'll this ,nornin'? You know in
Arkansas we always celebrate Christmas
with little O. the stuff"
"Yes," the general replied; "and
should like to have good quart of it
right now"
"Well, let's go to your tent, whar
nobody ken see us, and We, IL make some
,rsngements.
When they entered the tent, the
soldier said: You git the whiskey, and
I'll git the aigs and sugar."
''All right"
The soldier went away, and after q
while, with detected countenance, he
returned with the information that
some one had stolen the "artikles. {"
I'm devilish sorry" said he, "for I've
been 'er ssvin' themthings fur yer bene-
fit for . long time, knowin' how
aig nog would strike yer Christmas
day;n y;,,.. :. !,
II I could discover the thief he should
be punished. Stay here and let me go
out and skirmish."
The general, after much difficulty,
succeeded in securing the ingredients,
and erelong bowl Of the frothing drink
was prepared.
"Ah," said the soldier, refilling his
tin cup the third time, "this tastes like
old times, when uster get up afore day
an fire of the old fuzee. Put two
mems heads together, an suthinis going
to happen"
Shortly after the soldier left the tent
Col. Bob Newton, chief of Hindman's 3
stat, entered and said:
DO yen remember old Dave Aickett,
who used to run Q fatbost on White
river?" M
"Yes; he was here few moments
ago."
He came TO me this morning." the
colonel continued, "and began TO talk

Polite salutsaons.

From the Commercial Gazette
Some persons are very sensitive as
to the manner in which they are salut-
ed by acquaintances in the street and
elsewhere. There are more of these
sensitive persons than is generally sup
posed. As the process of accosting q
person is an easy and simple one, it
therefore appears that lack of good
form in this respect 10 inexcusable.
Truly there are many individuals who
are guilty of ill manners, some not in
tentionally, but wholly because of care
lessness or ignorance; some through .
sense Of self-importance, and others
through downright meanness. Afriend
or acquaintance deserving Of recogni-
ton on meeting is worthy Of being ad-
dressed respectfully and decently. Not
that bowing and scraping and grin
ming and other supposed ceremonies
Of politeness are demanded; but
what is ment is that the one addressed
should be called by name, with the ad-
dition of such other civilities Is may he
convenient and appropriate. Many
there are who would rather be passed
with simple nod or no recognition at
ell than be greeted with cold "Good
morning." or gruff "Good evening""
How easy o thing it is to add the name
Of the person addressed, and change
seemingly heartless salution into one
that is srespectful and friendly. A surly,
"How are you, sir?" is not only sense

T. W. Higginson, in Harper's for July.
For the social life of Warrington the
President had one advantage which was
altogether unexpected, and seemed diff
ficult Of explanation by anything in his
earlier career. He had at his command
the most courteous and agreeable man
ners. Even before the election Of Adams
Daniel Webster had written to his broth
er: General Jackson's manners are
better than those of any of the
candidates. He is grave, mild, and
reserved. My wife is for him decided
ly." And long after, when the presi-
dent was to pass in review before those
who were perhaps his most implacable
opponents, the ladies Of Boston, We
have the testimony Of the late Josiah
Quincy, in his Figures from the
Past, and the personal bearing Of this
obnoxious official was most unwillingly
approved. Mr.. Quincy was detailed BY
Gov. Lincoln, on whose military staff
he was, to attend President Jackson
everywhere when visiting Boston in
1888; and this narrator testifies that,
with every prejudice against Jack
son, he found him essentially
70 knightly -prejudiced,
narrow, mistaken on many
points, II might be, but vigorously q
gentleman in his high sense of honor
and in the natural straight forward
courtesies which are easily distinguished
from the veneer of policy" Sitting
erect on his horse, thin stiff type OF
military strength. he crrried with him
in the streets . bearing Of such dignity
that staid old Bostonians who had re-
fused even to look upon him from their
windows would finally he coaxed into
riedly bring forward their little daught-
ers to wave their handkerchiefs. He
wrought, Mr.. Quincy declares, "a
mysterious charm upon old and young; :"
showed, although in feeble health q
great consideration for others, and
was in private . really agreeable COM
panion. II appears from these remin-
iscences that the president was not mere
" the cause of wit in others but now
and then. appreciated it himself, and
that he used to listen with delight to
the reading Of the "Jack Downing" let
ters, laughing heartily sometimes, and
declaring, The Vice President must
have written that. Depend upon it,
Jack Downing Is only Van Buren, in
masquerade" Il is o curious fact that
the sstirist is already the better remem-
bered Of the two, although Van Buren,
was in his day SO powerful as to preside
over the official patronageof the Nation.

jera, near Victoria, 1916.
The ruby was worn in the helmet of
Henry V. at the battle of Agincourt,

after the Eastern custom, the upper
part of the piercing being fitted up by a
small ruby. Around this ruby, to form
the cross, nre seventy five brilliant din
monds. Three other Maltese crosses,
forming the two sides ahd back of the
crown, have emerald centers and con-
tain each 132. 1874 and l3O brilliant dia-

twenty-five pearls forming the acorns,
set in cups Of fifty-four rose diamonds
and one table diamond. The total
number of diamonds in the arches and
acorns is 1Os blilliants, 116 table and
$50 rose diamonds. From the upper
part of the arches is suspended four
large pendant, pear-shaped pearls, with
rose diamond caps, containing twelve
rose diamonds, and stems containing
twenty four very small rose diamonds
Above the arch stands the mound, con-
tanning in the lower half 3O4 brilliants
and in the upper 244 brilliants. the zone
and arc being composed of thirty-three
rose diamonds. The cross OH summit
has rose-cut sapphire in the center,
surrounded by four large, brilliant dia-
monds and 1O4 smaller ones.

He proposed to visit his trap the next
morning, and we were glad to avail our
selves of his services as guide; for with
out q guide it would be impossible TO
thread our way through the mazes of the
laurel growth.
The next day, rs we had feared, q
"snow cap" rested upon the peak when
we reached the summit; and although
the wind blew hurricane, the clouds
did not clear away during the entire
day. But Tom had come prepared for
just such an emergency. Under the lee
side of the peak, and sheltered from
the wind by the dense hemlocks and
frs, he built shelter of green boughs
and packed 1t with snow.
Under this our blankets were spread,
and q roaring fire of dry logs was built
in front. Wearied with the unusual ex-
ertion, we had each wrapped himself in
blanket and laid down under the
shelter Of the boughs as soon as it was
dark, leaving Tom to replenish the fire
while we slept.
The howl of the storm about the peak
seemed far away to us in our shelter,
and the sullen roar of q torrent from the
gorge below was fast lulling us to sleep,
when We were abruptly startled by o
sound. II was like the cry Of child in
pain. In moment we were wide
awake, for it needed little woodcraft to
interpret that voice.
"Gimme my riflel gimme my rifle
thar, quickl" muttered ABig Tom.
"Teets the critter! I knowed I was
right. It's painter. BE smells us
an he's coming this way, tool" he cx-
claimed, as another long vail was heard
in the frs not far above us.
"Now, you 'uns jes' Lay low, an I low

startled. To hunt panther by day

would jump into our shed.
Tom knelt in front Of our shelter
with rifle in hand, trying to get .
glimpse Of our visitor, or catch sound
that might betray his presence. The

as it was light, Tom was ont examining
the trail. He was satisfied now that L

Night had now come. The slave

tered q formidable "Illa" (forward) and
in the twinkling of an eye all those
wretches, shivering with terror and
cold, had disappeared in the hold of the
dshabieh. The'accursed craft went its
way, and we felt relieved, at least, at
having no longer under our eyes that
ignoble spectacle.
