Gen. Grant, in his paper On "shiloh," writ
ten for the February Century, scouts the idea
that his army was in defenseless condition at
the close of the first day of the battle. He says
that before any Of Buell's troops had taken
position he had given orders to his division
commanders to attack at daybreak on the Sec
ond day. Of the close of the first day he says:
zen. Lew wallace arrived alter hrlng had
ceased, and was placed on the right. Thus
night came, Wallace came, and the advance of
Nelson's Division came but none-except night
in time to be of material service to the gal
liant men who saved Shiloh on that first day,
against large odds" He fixes the time of the
capture of Gen. Prentiss at certainly after half
past o'clock in the afternoon as he himself
was with Prentiss at that hour, " when his d.

office. You'll find it when you get
there =,
Upon this the young man, who had
been much petted in the post-oilice ana
in society, both on his own and his par
ents' account, quite lost his temper
"What" he cried, "do you expect me
to carry those bags to the cab? If you
want that done ring the bell and tell
your servant to do it. | am not your
servant, and | won't carry bags for you
or any man in LOndon!
His lordship seemed petrifed. Never
theless he rang the bell. ,
"What is your name, sir?" asked
Lord Stanley.
MY name is Yates, my lord.
Il don't like your manner sir.
"And don't like yours, my lord! l

Secretary. | made you a salutatlon
which you had not the politenesS to re-
turn. You have never asked me to take
a seat"
Wasn't standing myself?'
"That is no affair of mine. Your
business as a gentleman was to ask me
to be seated. And now you think am
going to do your servants work.
Here the servant entered, and his
master told him to carry the bags to the
cab. The clerk was following him,
when Lord Stanley said: "You shall
hear more Of this, sir. "
whenever you please, my lord, L
shall be quite ready"
Yates returned to the post-otfice, still
trembling with the excitement Of the
scene. Sir Rowland Hill was very sym
pathetic and reassurng. When he had
heard the story, he laid his hand on the
clerks shoulder in a fatherly way, and
said:
I'm very sorry you've been exposed
to this, Yates: but you mustn't mind.
He's a rude fellow. Don't you be
afraid of his threats. l will take care
of that, and he will think better of what
he has said when he's little cooler.
Depend upon it, you'll hear no more OF
it,"
Sir Rowland was right. Nothing was
heard from the Postmaster-GeneraI, and

Facts About Casabianca, Hero Whom
All Folks Feel Sorry For.
Few but know the very pretty piece
of poetry by Mrs. Hemans, "Casabi-
anca." commencing 1.-The boy stood on
the burning deck" The poetess states
that the lad was the son of the admiral
commanding the flagship L'Orient,
which took fire and exploded; that
young Casabianca perished in the ex-
plosi0n, refusing to quit the position
allotted him by his father, pending the
battle of the Nile. have been looking
into the Official account of the incident.
The admiral was Brueys, who was
wounded in the head and hand early IN
the action. He continued to give or
ders until cut in two by cannon ball;
he uttered the request to be allowed to
expire on deck, which he did in the
course of some minutes.
Citoyen Casabianca, the father OF the
poetic hero, then took command; his
son was a MILDLY, but only aged ten, not
thirteen. At that period lads entered the
navy very young. Casabaianca was al
so deputy. Pending the action his
son was by his side; the father was
mortally wounded in the head by
splinter and became insensible; he gave
no iniunctions to his son, but the latter
would not the less quit his wounded
parent. By this time the ship was on
fire. Several of the sailors had left and
saved themselves on spars till picked
up by the English boats. Aided by the
purser young Casabianca and his father
were lowered down by a piece OF a
mast floating by, but they had only got
a short distance from the 12O-gun Orl-
ent when she blew up, and nothing
more was seen of the Casabiancas.
" But the noblest thing that perished there
Was that young, faithful heart.

TAUGHT A LESSON.
How an English Lord Was Instructed In
POliteness.

How an English Lord Was Instructed In
Politeness.
I Englishmen are said to stand in awe
of lords, and perhaps there is some
truth in the allegation. Still, it some
times has happened that a lord has
been too presumptuous, and the En-
glishman has forgotten his fear OF the
''noblen in his anger at the man.
Edmund Yates, the novelist and
editor, now man of wealth and in
fluence in London, began life as a clerk
in the London post-office at ninety
pounds year. He was sent one day
by his chief, Sir Rowland Hill, to the
house of the Postmaster-General, to get
his signature to an important docu-
ment The PostmaSter-General at the
time was Lord Stanley, of Alderley, an
elderly man of rude manners and arbl-
trary disposition, much disliked by the
post-office officials.
Armed with letter of introduction
from Sir Rowland, the young clerk pre-
sented himself at the abode of his lord
ship, whom he found in his library
standing before the fire. Yates on
entering made his best bow to the head
of the Post-office Department.
Lord Stanley neither returned the
salutation nor asked the young man to
be seated. SO he remained standing
near the door, much surprised at his re-
ception and not in the best temper.
.'What do you wantP" asked his lord
ship. ~ VI III.
Sir Rowland Hill had explained it in his
letter. 1t is necessary that your lord

signed the thing. 1t is here somewhere
rummaging in a leather post-ollice

SIGNED it. Look here, have you got a

TASTE AND ETIQUETTE.

Showing That Different Persons Attach
Entirely Different Meanings to the
Words Constituting the Caption Hereof
Different persons have entirely differ
pnt opinions in regard to taste and
etiquette Some are sticklerS for GER
tain manifestations of good breeding,
while Others lay stress upon other and
quite dissimilar rules of behavior. For
instance:
There are men who would be
ashamed to eat with their knives, even
in private, but who will talk at the top
of their voices in the public reading
room. >,
And men who,. though they would
scorn to remain Stated in horse-car
while a pretty gill is standing, will
throw banana skan on the sidewalk,
regardless of th4 inevitable conse-
quence.
And women who are scrupulously
neat as to their hahdS and fingers, but
who will, nevertheless, persist in wear
ing the biggest hat at the theater that
they can get hold of.
And women who sing like seraphs,
and vet will they Keep the car window
wide open though they know that it
means pneumonia to one-half OF their
feIlow-passengersl and catarrh and sore
throat to the othef half.
And women Whhse conversation is a
liberal education hnd perennial delight
TO the listener, aIl yet their hair pre-
sents frst-class presumptiye evidence
that it has had 10 acquaintance with
comb and brush tpra month, at least.
And men whctnever forget to lift
their hats to lacy, but who can not be
trusted with impuhity for dollar
And men who would die rather than
eat their soup from the end OF their
spoon, but who will lie like Ananias
upon the slightest prOvocation.
And men who are scrupulOusly care
full to give lady the inside of the
walk, and yet think nothing of calling
upon you at your busiest hour and bor-
inc you until you wish they were dead.
And women who would never pre-
sumo to help themselves at table until
everybody else is supplied, who will
nevertheless say the spitefulest things
imaginable about their dear friend be-
hind her back.
And bows who never forget to say
"Yes, sir" and "Yes'm," but who are
taken with sudden sickness the mo-
ment they are asked to do an errand
for their mothers.
And girls who do not have to be
coaxed to play upon the piano before
company, but who will turn around
and giggle when strange man makes
remarks about them in the street.
And men who would not clean their
nails in public, but who will shove a
pewter quarter on to blind man.
And men whd always say "beg par
don" before telling you you lie, and
who nevertheless will inevitably fail to
remember toy eir. BUTCHER bills.
And men who would never interrupt
another while he is speaking, but who
will advise their best friend to invest in
a worthless stock, simply because they
have some of that stock which they
wish to dispose OF.
And men who are too polite to look
over your shoulder when you are writ
ING, who think nothing of registering
false oaths at the custom-hOuse almost
daily.
Many more instances might be ad-
duced. but the above will suffice to
show that we do not all think alike up
on these little matters of etiquette. hos

MUSIC-B
Popular Airs Concealed in Common Arti-
cIes Which Bring Fancy Prices.


"The demand for fine music-boXes is
greatly on the increase in this coun-
try" said salesman. During the
last four years we have doubled each
year on the sales Of the preceding one.
Perhaps PATHS famous music box,
which was manufactured for her at a
cost of $4,000, set the craze going. l
know that no matter how expensive an
instrument we import there Is sale for
it. Novelties in music-boxes are being
constantly turned out by skilled work
men. They are all made in Switzerland,
either at St. Croix or Geneva. They
find there way to America, of every
quality and price, from fifty cents to
S2,500. A Chicago brewer bought one
from us not long ago which would play
sixty-four tunes. He paid $1,000. l
sold one to La Crosse (Wis.) man for
81, 200; it played twenty-four airs. OF
course the expense of an instrument
can be greatly increased or decreased,
the same as piano, by its case.
.How long will one of those instru-
ments last if kept constantly in
motion?" asked the reporter
"Oh. lifetime, with proper care.
They are just like watch. If portion
of the mechanism wears out it can be
replaced.
THE demand is greatest for boxes
ranging in price from S75 to $500;
more, however, at $500 than S75.
There is something very fascinating in
music-box. Frequently people come
in from some inland town with the in
tention of buying a music-box which
will cost $50 or 500. When they lister
to the different instrument they are moi
satisfied with anything cheap, and in
variably take one running up into the
hundreds in price.
"What are the airs which most OF
these boxes are arranged to produce?"
"Those made for our trade nearly all
play operate airs or tunes popular in
America. This box, however, turns oui
two German airs"
He held up, as he spoke, large beer
mug of clear cut-glass. 1t would hold
about quart of liquid, and was pro-
vided with a glass cover like sirup-
pitcher. 1t was designed for tankard
from which beer could be poured into
smaller glasses. The action of lifting
it and pouring out the beer would set
the music concealed in the transparent
bottom free. A wine bottle construct
ed in the same manner was seen. Lit
tie revolving ebony cigar-holders, or
namented with hammered brass,
served as another device for the casing
of musical machinery. They were
likewise provided with two small
cruets for cognac or cordial, and two
tiny glasses. Other cigar-holders were
in the form of brass cannon, which, as
they reelel off tunes, fired the cigars
from their receptacle. Bouquet-hold-
ers containing bunches of artificial
flowers are arranged TO perform the
same feat In TACT, II seems as ii thGT6
is scarcely anything manufactured for
household use or ornament which may
not be utilized for a music box.-Chi-
