GENERAL JUBAL R
A Couple of Anecdotes OF the Famous
Confederate Cavalry leader.
Washington Cor. New York Sun.

Washington Cor. New York Sun.
Old Juba Early Is a character in Virginia.
He is drawn up into a hard knot with rheum-
atism, and has a face like a hickorynut. His
voice is pitched on a very high key, and he is
a compound of shrewdness and sarcasm In
equal parts. He was strongly opposed to
secession at the beginning OF the war. al
though be fought v~aliantly when fighting
was inevitable. In the Virginia convention
of 1861 he attacked the conduct of South
Carolina bitterly. After the war had
actually begun he had in his brigade a South
Carolina regiment. 1t was observed that old
Jubal was always sure 10 put that regiment
in the most ticklish place when the brigade
was under fire. During one of the bales
around Richmond Early's brigade was
ordered to the front, and, as usual, EARLY
made the South Carolina fellows head the
column, squeaking out at the top of his voice
as he rode up to them: Eyes, I'll send you
to the front and nj keep you there. too.
You got us into this fix, and, d-n you, you've
got to get us outI'
During the war he vent to church only
once, and his experience then was not such as
to encourage him to 20 again. 1t was in the
winter of 1864, when the southern states were
agitating the expediency of a CONSUMPTION.
Gen. Early was one of the most ardent advo-
Gates of it. He talked CONSUMPTION in season
ana out oil season, and wanted to conscript
everything. One Sunday morning, to the
amazement Of his staff, he proposed that they
should ride over to n neiRhboring church and
hear the sermon. The officers were nearly
paralyzed at the proposition, but, of course,
consented promptly. The country congrega.
ton was astonished at seeing Gen. Early and
his entire staff march solemnly into church
AMI take their seats in the front pews. As
soon as old Jubal settled himself he laid his
head back and relapsed into Il comfortable
nap. The clergyman took for his subject the
testimony of the truths of Christianity. After
preaching an hour or two he asked:
What would you say, my brethren, il the
dead OF all times and nations and ages should
pass in solemn review before youl What
would be your feelings at seeing this vast and
countless multitude from the gravel What
would you do with this army of men of all
trades, all grades, all professions. all of every
kind, before youi 1 repeat" with a whack
on the desk, what would you DOR
"Doln bawled Jubal, suddenly aroused
FROM his nap, I'D conscript every - one
of themln
A roar went up from the congregation, and
Jubal made q bee line for the door.

Mrs. Amelia Barnett Outs Her Own and

Razor.
One Of the Little Victims Dies in Ten
Minutes and the Other Two
Past Recovery.

EAsToN, Pa, April 2G.-Mrs. Amelia
Barnett, wife OF a Mr.. Barnett of Phillips
burg, locked the doors of the house this
morning, threw her son Willie, aged two
years and six months, on the bed and cut
his throat with razor. She then
served her five months old child the
same way and gave the alarm. AS the
neighbors rushed in she drew a razor
across her own throat and threw
herself on the bed beside the chill
dren. The oldest boy died within ten
minutes. The mother and Other child
have dangerous wounds and will probably
die. The family came to Phillipsburg
several months ago from Pittsburgh.
Since then Barnett has not been able to
obtain steady employment, and it is
thought that was the cause of the TRACE
dy. Mrs, Barnett is now acting in such
violent manner that SIX men are required
to hold her.
