A diver WHO was trying to find pearls

General Kilpatrick's Horse.

Speaking Of horses, we are reminded
of an incident related to us by General
Fitzpatrick, showing on the part of n
horse retentlye memory, prompt rec
ignition OF his masters voice, and a
little less than human at hearing the
familiar tones after q long separation.
Old Spot, the Generals favOritc war
horse, bore his master CALAMITY on long
and perilous rides and in the thick of
desperate fights, himself more than
once feeling the prick of rebel steel
and the sting of rebel lead. Suisse
quent TO the war General Fitzpatrick
was sent to South America. He left
the old horse at the farm, with orders
that he should be kindly cared for.
Returning after an absence of several
years, the General reached his home
near night, and was for some time oc-
cupied in exchanging greetings with his
family and friends. He did not, how
ever, long neglect to inquire after the
old horse. Learning that Spot was at
pasture in a distant field, the General
sent for him, and little later was told
that his favorite stood securely tied to
post at the entrance Of the grounds
some distance away. The General
fastened out onto the piazza, from
whence, peering through the evening
shadows, he deserted the form of the
old veteran, who stood demurely gnaw-
ING at the post. Just the one word,
Spot! rang out over the lawn. Like
an echo came back the answering neigh.
With snort and bound the old
charger snapped the halter as if it had
been thread, cleared the fence at a
leap, and, with arched neck and ears
proudly erect, spurned the Intervening
turf like race horse until he stood by
the piazza, where with joyful whinny
he laid his head upon his masters
breast. Added the General: 1--WE
Rugged and caressed each other like
lovers, and | am not ashamed to say
that no welcome | received that day
warmed my heart more than that of
Old Spot. EHenrUe J0uWal

A Joke on General Sherman.

The general was recently the victim
Of huge joke, perpetrated by Billy
Florence, the actor. 1t seems that Rev.
John Snyder, a prominent Unitarian
divine (who, Notwithstanding the
cloth, is very fond of the drama and &
habitue of the legitimate theaters), WIS.,
tied the Grand Opera house while the
inimitable Billy and his wife were play
ing Facts" On leaving the theater,
the Rev. John, in the exuberance of his
spirits and the care of several ladies,
forgot to take with him valuable and
handsome cane, The Waterman who
found it turned it in to the box office
where it was held several days. Not
knowing the intrinsic value of the cane,
the treasurer, George McManus, pre-
sented it to Florence. This was as
good thing as the redoubtable Will
liam could wish for. And on the fol-
lowing day he called together at the
Southern hotel 4 few boon companions,
hale fellows well met, among whom
were John Norton, joint manager of
the Olympic and Grand; Pat Short,
treasurer; VIM. Hyde, and j. B. Nc
Cullagh, of the Globe Democrat.
Wine was ordered and Gen. Sher-
man sent for. On his arrival, amid
applause and clinking of glasses, Flor
ence, with much gusto, presented the
cane to the general as one which he
picked up among the pyramids Of
EGYPT The general responded hap
PLY and an hour or two was spent in
repartee, joliity, and popping of corks.
The next morning appears the Rev,
Snyder at the box-oilice inquiring for
his cane. Then came the denoue-
menL Florence apologized to Sher-
man, who-ga,jant old soldier that he
is--returned the cane, but not until
first Florence mad called together the
same party and explained, with cham
payne accompaniment-this time, how
ever, with tie addition of the Rev.
John to the party. The bump of
practical joking in Florence is par
ticularly large, and no opportunity is
missed --lltu C0lJ0rRia.

independent.

During the trial of civil suit,
brought before rural justice Of the
peace, noticing that the Judge" was
treading on the recent discussions of
the supreme court, a lawyer called his
attention to the disregard of higher au-
thority.
Your honor" said the lawyer,
your ruling is in error, for in the case
OF Higgie vs.. Stackwell, recently de-
cided 6y the supreme court"
Hold on, sir. The case of Higgie
vs.. Stackwell was originally brought
before me and an appeal was taken to
the circuit court, from which tribunal
it was carried to the supreme court
Now, l want to say right here that I've
got as little respect for the supreme
courts opinion as that grave body of
men have for mine. They have Alright
to control thier own court, but I'll be
blamed if they shall control mine.
Proceed with the arguments, gentle
men. "-ArkansaW TrdUcler.
