Siege Of Yickshurr Incidents.

During the siege of Vicksburg many
amusing Incidents occurred. A few
will be recounted:
One of our soldiers, an Irishman,
was on guard one night in the front
trenches. These advanced trenches
ran so near the enemy's line that the
picket guards could at night, when it
was still, talk across from their rifle
pits. Pat was easily annoyed, which
the rebel guards discovering, COM
menced Safeguarding him. After
plaguing him about other matters they
began to tease him about the worthless
ness of the shells fired from the Union
mortars on the gunboats. AS rule it
must be admitted that these shells did
no great damage. Among other things
the rebels told Pat that "the only harm
the shells have yet done is to kill two
mules and lame one old woman" Just
then through some strange accident a
shell happened to come from the river
dropping and bursting among Pats
tormentors, iniuring two or three and
causing the balance TO scamper for
dear life. Ere the sound of the burst
ing shell had died away the shrill voice
Of Pat was heard crying: There, We
internal cusses, put that in yer haver-
sack and ehaw it, will we, We blathering
blackguards.
Another about the mortar shells is
this: When Gen. Bowen, the Confed-
crate officer, first came out under a flag
of truce, on the Sd of July, to treat for
terms of surrender, he suggested that
hostilities cease during the negotiations.
The Union officers readily acquiesced,
but mentioned the difficulty of getting
orders to the gunboats in time. "Oh,
well" he replied, that is of no conse-
quence; never mind the gunboats; they
never harm US any,"
One day, toward the end of the siege,
one of the Confederates cried out to
our soldiers, saying, I'VE are going to
have a new General" "Ah, indeed, I"
was the reply, "and who is hep" "Gen-
eral Starvation" coolly replied the
comical Confederate soldier. To APP
preciate this it should be remembered
that the rebel soldier was at the time
almost starved; with him it was an
empty-stomach joke. army Life" by
H. o. Marshall.

Ten days before his death Lincoln dreamed

When his wife heard of the tragedy she ex-
claimed, His dream was propheticl" The
majority OF dreams, however, are never full
filled-they are too fantastic, or they are
solved by contrary events. People are often
possessed OF the idea that they shall soon die.
They find themselves the subject of strange
feelings. They know they are not what they
once were, and IA they approach certain ages
they are quite sure they will not "be
long of earth" These impressions as rule
are the result of an imagination disordered
by disease, but they can be shaken OF by
prompt and thorough measures. We are told
that very many diseases can be prevented;
indeed half the deaths are said TO be prevent

Justice William Moul. or West Sandlake,

years plagued by forebodings that he was
doomed TO an early death. He had dull and

complexion was bad his appetite was variable;

coated, and frequent feverish disorders APP

some of the newspapers seem to un-

Philadelphia is one Of the cities chosen
and as this is now vacant on account
of the death of Bishop Simpson, the
Methodist people OF this goodly city of
Brotherly love, and of Methodist church
es, are anxious to have the Bishops re-
arrange their residences, so as to locate
one of the number in Philadelphia. The
Bishops have the right TO do this, and
probably will. One of the fourteen
places named by the General Conferences
as episcopal residences, will have to be
