Laugh and Get We'll.

I5IN1NbAtAs
In the treatise on laughter Joubert gives a
curious instance. A patient, being low with
fever, and the physician in attendance being
at a loss as To how he should produce reaction
had ordered II dose OF rhubarb, but after the
medicine had been prepared, fearing its de
bilitating effects, the order was counter
manded. Not long after a pet monkey he
longing to the patient that had been in the
room all the while, seeing the goblet, slipped
slyly up and touched it to his lips. The
first taste was probably novel and he made
II comical grimace. Another sip and he
got the sweet OF the strip. Ahal His
vision frightened. He cast u glance around,
and then drank 1t 10 the bottom, where he
got the full strength Of the rhubarh Mercy
What a face he made The visage Of the
Disguised monkey spoke volumes as he tried
to spit out the horrible taste, but finding that
impossible, he seized the goblet aud hurled 1t
to the floor, smashing 1t into u hundred
pieces. The scene was so ludicrous that the
sick Imam burst into a fit of laughter that
lasted until his nurse came in. And when he
tried 10 tell her he laughed again, until he
sank back exhausted In n profuse perspiration
which lasted until he fell asleep. When ne
awoke the fever was broken and he re-
covered.

A NEW YORK reporter went to Gen.
eral Grants house to ask whether the
story is true that the latter has ''de-
clared var against Arthur and in favor
OF Logan for president The general
was 90 Ill to receive the interviewer,
but Ulysses, jr., answered his questions
by saying that such q report wal very
absurd that he had not heard his
father say who he preferred for presi-
dent, but was very sure he was not
actively IN favor OF any particular man.
As for President Arthur, General Grant
had the very highest respect for him,
aud thought he had made a wise and
able president. Tha. Ulysses, jr,, was

PEACH BRANDY VAL0R.
An Elk. Confederate Tells the Story
of His Promotion for Gallantry
on the Battle Field.

lGath IN New YORK tribune.
During a recent conversation, ". X. Stew
enson, Jr., one of our most entsrprising real
estate men, said: ''When the war broke ont
l was a small boy and was sent to the Con-
federate West Point at Marietta, Ga, where
we had about six hundred cadets. My father
subscribed to 500, 900 of the Confederate loan
at par. He lost all his negroes, and | am
glad Of IT. Although / was on the opposite
side | am perfectly satisfied with
tho result, and so is everybody else
Of good sense that 1 have talked to.
Our ladies in the SOUTH were so gallant for
the war that they really made me believe /
could go out with a wheat straw and whip
every invader across the lines. My grand
father after the Federals got into Chatta-
nooga became so patriotic that he wrote my
father a letter that l ought to be taken out
of the military school and sent to the battle
field. My father merely inclosed the letter TO
me without any remark, and thereupon | went
to the commandment of the academy and asked
my discharge, as l was going to enlist in the
ranks TO be sent to the front. | enlisted in an
Irish regiment entirely composed OF rail
road laborers, and we started for the battle
field OF Chicgnmaugn in boK-cars, every
soldier being possessed Of a canteen filed with
New Orleans rum. You can imagine what a
diabolical scene was ia that car, fighting all
the way along, but l was regarded as quite u
young hero. We had n terrible battle. and
in the excitement had no time to think. 1t
got out, however, who my father was, and /
was put ON the staff Of a man named Benton
Smith, who was only % years old and a
general
Benton Smith, resumed Mr.. Stevenson,
Icing called the boy general, concluded that
he must have a staff entirely Of boys. He
was n prodigy Of audacity and courage, but
his high, nervous nature at last wore him out,
and not long ago he was a lunatic in "A pad
ded cell in Tennessee. He always kept his
aides right up to the front, and | saw that
unless something happened / should b. shot.
Just before the big battle at Atlanta, where
Mcfherson was killed, Smiths brigade was
reinforced by a Georgia regiment nearly
a thousand strong. l went TO a
hospital the morning of that battle,
where / saw a pile OF legs and arms
amputated, and It made me sick at the
stomach, being quite another lesson of the
war, and finding one Of our aides with several
c%anteens of peach brandy, / asked him to
let me have some TO settle my stomach and
drank the whole of It, Smith then ordered
me to load the Georgia regiment into the
battle. l was blind drunk and charged my
horse right over the Federal ramparts; he
had both eyes shot out and both knees broken,
and as l went up tho rampant / could
hear tho Yankees cry all down the line.
Don't shoot that boyr My life was really
snved by my youth. 1t was that charge, as /
have understood said Mr.. Stevenson,
(which led to McPherson's death. was
twice promoted for gallantry ON the battle
field, and upon my soul 1t was nothing but
that peach brandy

ty for that reason.

THE commissioner Of pensions is re-
ported to have forbidden his clerks to
visit gambling houses or appear on the
streets in an intoxicated condition.
This high banded attack on the relaxa-
lions of the Washington oficeholder is
causing much Indignation. If the pur.
suit OF happiness on the part of clerks
in the way of bucking the tiger and
working off their superilous drinks on
the street is TO be curtailed in this des.
potic manner, the question comes up
is this n free country Or an effete
tyranny the o~iiceholders from the
sunny south are ready 70 raise the stan
dard of revolt whenever their gambling
or drinking privileges are curtailed.

ALL the talk about the United
States as a party to settle the Franco
Chinese trouble seems rather ridicu-
lous. China would not be likely to ac-
cept the arbitration OF a government
which has made laws forbidding Chi
nese immigration while immigrants
from other countries are received with
a welcome. Moreover France is our
old friend and ally in time of trouble,
the friendship dating back to the revo-
lutionary period when Lafayette and
his compatriots ''came from Il distant
land to fight our battles and to water
with their blood the tree of our liber-
ty," and China would be suspicious of
our impartiality for that reason.

She went TO Leadville and prowled around

imagined the mountain miner was a sui

women admire-brave, chtSalrous, hardy,
romantic, tall, supple, handsome. This was
the ideal miner-the kind OF miner Miss
Field had read about In books and fugitive

she would write a book about him and per-

THE sun AND Us.

Our contemporary, the Sun, yester-
day alludes to the LEADER as coming
to the front as a democratic paper.
This is hardly a fair presentation of the
position of the LEADER, seeing that
more than a year g we We're fully
committed to the leading democratic
candidates of this territory. AS to
4enunciation of any set democratic prin-
clples, or pressing upon the people any
particular party doctrine, the country
is pretty much at sea as TO what the
distinction really is between the par
ties. The war settled the leading issues
such AS state rights, the right to en-
slave, and other matters affect
ing national polity. It is a question of
men rather than party exsltation as
shown in the organization of cur legis-
lature.
Mr.. Slack very truthfully remarks
that 1.-THE attachment Of a paper to a
set of principles does not bind that
journal to support corrupt men who
may Dc put upon a ticket by a party
CAUCUS" 1t is the privilege, aye the
duty, of a voter to use the secret ballot
to vote for the best men, and journal
ism is venal that does not withhold its
support from men n~otoriously corrupt.
The tariff question al hardly be a
party measure, when such influential
republican papers as the New York
Times, Chicago Tribune, Springfield,
Massachusetts. Republican, st. Louis
Globe-D Democrat and the New York
Evening Post are found committed to a
tariff which practically would produce
free trade.
