Anecdote of General Scott.

General Stone related an anecdote of
Gen. Scott which has not appeared in
print when / was with him in Wash
ington in the early days of 1861, he
said. ''the old general has charged with
the work of dozen men. Every Wis
tor who came to the capitol, however,
felt it necessary to see him. This both
cred and worried him so that ho was
nigh distracted One day my friend,
Lieut.. Governor Arnold, of Rhode Is
land, came to me and said he wanted
to call on the general. / tried to dis
suade him, but he persisted, So | told
HIM all right, but added Arnold,
when you do see him, for heavens sake
say something; don't let him do all the
talking He promised me he would, and
he did. After his presentation, and
before the greeting had more than
passed, he said: General Scott, |
want to tell you story. The general
looked wearied, but said nothing.
when was in London, during the
war'-the generals attention was at
once fixed-I dined frequently at the
Army and Navy and United Service
clubs with my friend Colonel Byrne,
one of the staff of the Duke of Yelling
ton The general was now thoroughly
excited. One day we were dining
and the papers brought the news that
you had shut yourself up IN Puebla,
and had withdrawn all your outposts
between the city and the seacoast.
This aroused the contempt of the off
GERS present, who declared the Ameri-
can officers set of ignoramuses, and
all prophesied your capture. was
mad enough to throw bottle at some
ones head, but / should have had to
throw it everywhere, as the opinion
was universal. Noticing my wrath,
Colonel Byrne said to me; Now
don't lose you temper, and list
ten to what the Duke of Yelling
ton said. You know he got this
news before the papers, and was con
yersing with me about it.. l anxiously
waited, and Byrne continued: Scott,
said the duke, has withdrawn his out
posts, cut off his communications with
the coast, and has shut himself up in
Puebla. 70 miles from Mexico. Very
well. The country is rich, and he can
gather the crops and sustain himself
until reinforcements reach him from
the United States. Ifhe is a good gen
eral he will do this and it will be all
right; but he added, with a twinkle
in his eye, if he is a great general, the
next you will hear of him he will be in
Mexico, and the war will be over AS
this was really what happened. con-
tinued Gen. Stone, you can imagine
the delight of Gen. Scott. All weari-
ness for that day was gone, and the
visit inspired him as nothing else could
have DONE"

Chriatn,as Eve.

The air of mystery which always per-
yades Christmas eve is delightful The
children are on the qui vive and watch
ing every movement of the older people
with the greatest curiosity, while the
papas, mammas, and aunties are busy
with closed doors preparing surprises
for the anxious little ones. The keen
enjoyment which all feel who are in
harmony with the season of merry max
ing is real to everyone. Whether
beautiful tree is being trimmed
and the happy household are to
feast their eyes upon the splendor
of its lighted candles and brilliant
array of lovely things, or whether the
stockings are hung in the chimney cor
ner, large ones or small ones down to the
little socks pressed by baby's tiny feet,
the same mysterious feeling prevades
all. There is no time IN all the year like
Christmas time; the children look for
ward to it for months, and the scattered
members of the family gather then I'M
der the fathers roof to enjoy together
happy season. Those who are far
away are remembered with precious
tokens from home. The regular rou-
tine of business is suspended Father
gives up his time to the little folks, and
mother plans with them and becom es
willing partner in their secrets
and surprises. The colleges and
schools close their doors. and a season Of
pleasure and relaxation takes the place
of the busy school life. How the young
people look forward to the Christmas
vacation! A visit home, free from ali
the restraints which surround them
through the year, is an event which
they have anticipated for weeks. Those
who do nothing to make the Christmas
season happy one for all, and steel
themselves agoinst celebrating this joy
Gus occasion, miss from life one of its
brightest pages. The absent tree is a
sorrow to many the neglected gifts are a
reproach. A real Santa Claus will be
the grand climax for the children, and
can be easily procured if father or uncle
will consent to act in this capacity. A
mask representing an old man, a wig and
whiskers must be obtained at one of the
toy stores. The dress can be easily inn
proved by muff, furs, and q buffalo robe.
He must have a basket on his back, fill
ed with bundles. and, if possible, make
his entrance into the room where the
family are gathered through window,
which is raised when he knocks. This
will create lots of fun for the little folks
and make them open their eyes with
wonder and amazement.

Editor Bro1nley's Story.

From the Rochester Post Express
When Nesmith was elected to the
Senate from Oregon, in the early part
of the war, he had never been In Wash
ington; never been east of the Rocky
Mountains, in fact, since he emIgrated
as a boy to the Pacific slope to seek his
fortune. He had never seen railroad
or locomotive until he struck the
Panama road at the Isthmus, and, as he
described himself, was green as q
squash" Upon reaching Washington,
being too bashful to present his creden-
tials and be sworn in at once, he spent a
dav or two looking down upon that dis
tinguished body from seat in the gall
lerv, so as to get the hang of things a
little before he ventured on the floor.
His diffidence wore off after little and
his great fund of ane cdote, his fine vein
of humor, his frontier frankness and
originality of character and manner
drew around him warm friends of both
parties. Standing one day in o group
of Senators who had been questioning
MN COUCSIulBSS
Senator Wilson of Massachusetts, SAID :
81 understand, Senator. that you had
never seen o railroad until you came
East, and that everything of that sort in
the way of modern improvements was
entirely new to you. Now, | am curl
Gus to know what struck you as being
the most wonderful thing that met your
observation on this side of the conti-
nent?"
Nesmith hesitated a moment, then
said: well, / spent my first two or
three days in Washington up there in
the gallery, looking at the senate, and l
think what most filed me with wonder
was the thought that /, who went off to
Oregon years ago poor, uneducated
boy. should be here as member of the
highest Legislative body in the country.
That was my greatest wonder.
"Well-but-I don't mean that ex-
actly," said Wilson, who was chiefly
curious about what mechanical contriy-
ance or invention had excited most sur
prise, ''but what after that most sur
prised you?"
"Well, +" said Nesmith, dropping his
serious manner and putting on quiz
zicaI expression. II think after the sen
sation of surprise at beng here myself.
what excited most wonder was how the

A crooked Pension Agent.

Des Moines, Iowa, Special Telegram, Dec IL
j. ]. Stuckey, secretary of the Iowa Prison
ers of War association, a member Of sew eral
secret societies and an ornamental citizen gen
orally, has depaated for parts unknown. 1t
has just been discovered that he skipped the
town about two weeks ago leaving consider
able number of creditors to mourn his hasty
departure great many rumors are current
as to the motive of his leave taking. One sto
~ accounting for his going away without say
ing good bye to his numerous acquaintance is
that as pension claim agent he ac
cepted fees in excess of the $40 al
lowed by law, and felt obliged to depart IN
order to avoid prosecution for the offense, which
is treated as very serious by the government of
the United States. There are vague and indeh-
mite stories about other cro0kedness in connec-
ton with the pension business, but inquiry at
the pension offices in the city failed TO make the
rumors materialize. Mrs. Stuckey, who remains
in the city, is reported as saying that her hus-
band was betrayed by certain East side
parties; that he always refused extra pay
for pension services, but that they urged him to
accept as presents what he could not lawfully
take as fees. After receiving their gifts under
protest he found that they informed the
authorities against him, and he left home 10
avoid being thrown in jail for an offense of
which he was really innocent OF one thing
there is no doubt Stuckey is not III Des Moines;
has not been for two weeks, and no one VINO
knows will tell where he is. 1t is also beyond
question that he left a large number of unpaid
debts, though no large ones have as yet come to
light The efforts of his creditors to secure the
payment of their claims have also developed the
fact that Stuckey was rather liberal purchas
err of carpets, dry goods, groceries and other
articles which did not go to his family, but
which were sent to women with whom he was
intimate, and who somehow got him in their
power Stuckey was an active fellow, and a
pushing advertiser of himself as a special
friend of prisoners of war, for whom he desired
to obtain pensions He is a man of large
physique rather fine appearance and genial
manners rumor that he has gone to Cana
da was afloat to-day Knowing that Stuckey
was private secretary of the president OF the
Hawkeye Insurance company, a reporter called
at the Office. but failed to elicit definite infor-

Baltimore Special: The mangled remains of
a young woman were found lying upon the
side of the track of the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road, near Bridewell station. They were iden-
tilted as those of Mise Mary Brannon, niece of
the late Mayor Chadman OF this city. She left
Baltimore three years ago to avoid a scandal
which involved her reputation and that OF a
young man named Wickersham, relative of
one Of the wealthest and most aristocra-
tic families in Maryland. Young Wick
ersham refused to marry Miss Bran
non after he betrayed her, and she
suddenly left the city. Two years ago she re-
turned and entered upon life of sin. She
was frequently arrested, but owing to the high
social standing of her family she was invari-
ably turned over to her friends. Recently her
conduct became 80 bad that all her friends de-
serted her Her remains were taken to the
morgue, from which her relatives will remove
them and see that they are properly buried.
Miss Brannon was thirty years old last month.
She was beautiful brunette and recognized
belle in the highest social circles. Wicker
sham her betrayer, died about two months
ago after a debauch.-

reckon she must have dropped to sleep.
The captain grew more and more per-
picked as the sailor went ON. He swore
at him, and said he didn't know what he
girl, and his Jim was a boy ten years
old He didn't want to be bothered
with any children aboard, squalling all
night and all day, and getting in every

"Go bring the young one here" he
said.
The sailor obeyed, and pretty soon
Jim, with her pretty white kitty in her
arms, appeared before the angry cap
tain, who began:
"Who the" he was going to use
profane word, but as he looked at the
sweet face of the little child, whose big
blue eyes gaZed at him wonderingly,
vet without a shadow of fear, he was
ashamed to swear, and not once after
that, Turing the long voyage to Brazil
and back to New York, did he ever let a
coarse or profane word pass his lips.
"Who are you, little one, and what are
you doing here?" he asked kindly.
"Pm jim, and me and my tat is going
into the tountry on the boat"
Into the country! I guess you are +!
Why, child. we're going to Brazil. How
came you here, anyway? Who brought
you?"
Didn't anybody brought me. / only
just brought my own self.
well, now, tell me all about it. :"

on his knee
"Why, don't you know? We's all 60

dotter tum, and / waited and waited q
long while, and so rs 'fraid the boat
would be gone, and L toot my tat in the
bastet, and tum to the boat. and now
we's going into the tountry."
The captain didn't know what to do ;
he wanted to send the child to New
York, but it was too dark night to
venture to send her to another vessel,
even if they should meet one. He con-
eluded to wait until the next day. But,
alas the next day was stormy, and the
sea was too rough for beat to be sent

'.Yes, dear, / know all about it; it is
the same way with me, and yet, Ruthie,

At that time the door-bell rang, with

the detective.

fastening from the room.
SHOW him up here" said he to the
servant, who also knew the detectives
ring, and was hurrying to the door.
II have letter for you," said Nor
ton, as he entered the room: "iust
brought to the office by a sailor, who
said they should have arrived week
ago, but storm off Hatteras delayed
them. He says the Sea Bird is due to-
morrow"
Capt. Cain took the letter and read it
aloud;

From mammals RUTH and papa's JIM
Capt. Brooks had added few lines
to the letter, explaining the manner in
which the little girl had come on board
the ship, and saying that the voyage
had been good for her, that she was
brown and hearty, and the bravest lit
tie sailor he had ever seen.
Jim couldn't give her fathers adj
dress, but she knew the street, and
he would send the letter to the chief OF
police, who would no doubt know where
to deliver 1t. All, how quickly those
sad hearts were changed into joyful
ones, and those words of despair into
glad thanksgivingsl
''Do not be disappointed, said Nor

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS.

Dear friends, il we cannot be jolly
On Christmas Day,
With roast beef and pudding and holly,
When is't we nays
We agree that this day, above others,
Should brlng good cheer,
And parents and sisters and brothers
Should all be here.
Then let the big fires so bravely
And brightly blaze,
And all enjoy, gayly or grayely,
This day of days
Our pleasure becomes, then, duty
That good men love;
And presents of comfort and beauty
The pleasure prove
But over all, Christian or heather,
On Christmas Day
We have, to those worse of than we then,
A debt to pay.
For with us we have, said the Savior,
Always the poor;
Whatever their state or behavior,
Their claims endure.
If we TO the poor give as much as
Our means may afford,
Tho gift is declared to be such as
A loan to the Lord
Remember the poor who are with us,
And who must stay;
They're not apart from or beneath us
This Christmas Day.
