How Technical Terms Secured an Unwill-
ing Soldiers Discharge.
Grand Army Scout and Soldiers Mail.
In the spring time of 1864 the frontier
division of the Seventh Army Corps,
General John NJ. Thayer commanding,
was encamped at Fort Smith, Arl.
| Communication being most entirely cut
off, supplies were low and the army did
considerable in the foraging line. On
one of these expeditions clerk at de-
partment headquarters, Wiley Britton,
who was very fine writer and apt
scholar, went out with party of scouts
south of the Poteau, a stream that
empties into the Arkansas just above
Fort Smith. They ran COM
pany of Texas Rangers, and in q sllir-
mish with them he got shot through
the left wrist. Retreating he reached
Fort Smith and was laid up for some
days before his wound healed and he
was fit for duty again. He then got il
into his head that fighting YVES not par4
ticularly his forte. and, since his wound,
neither was writing, and he desired to
get back to his old home in Missouri.
He went to General Thayer and
asked for discharge, but the general,
thinking he was too valuable man I'd
let off for SO slight wound, refused
to let him 60, saying he did not
see how he could dispense with
so valuable and apt clerk. Wiley
knowing l had some influence with
the general, L being at that time
on detached service at headquarters,
enlisted me in his service to pro-
cure his discharge. got ont set OF
papers and took them down TO the sur!
geon, who was, like myself, originally,
Pennsylvania. He made him out
certificate and strongly recommended
his discharge, COUGHING the certificate
in terms peculiar tc surgical science. I
took the certificate, got Britton's COM
pany officers to indorse it and then
went with him to the headquarters to
see General Thayer. AS we entered
the room the general, who was sitting
by the table, said to Britton: "You are
still wanting to go home, are you?" He
replied aftirmatively, [ then presented
the certificate. The general looked at
it and said: Read IT," 1 read: "This
certifes this soldier is truly entitled to
a discharge. Icertifv 1t on examination,
after due consideration, case Of necros-
is of the right radius of the forearm"
What is that? That beats nv time"
said the general. "If [ had thought,
young man, the half of that was the
matter with you, would have let you
go before. Hand me my pen, 50 can
write your discharge, quick. That is
the G-name for shot through the
wrist [ ever heard" To say he was
discharged after that would be but paint
ing the lily.

The wiles of Kentucky Candidates.

Neither of these stories is so good as
some which illustrates the wiles of can
didates before the people. The best
one, we think, is that reported Of Lag
arus Powell and Humphrey Marshall,
when running for governor Of Kentuc-
ky. If it relates to some other two
Kentuckians. well enough; the two
named will suffice. They were stump
ing the state together. One night
they put up at the house of man who
controlled the politics of the country in
which he lived and whose spinster sister
VIGOROUSLY controlled him." Being
like the considerable Miss Summerville
in "Adonis," ''a simple mountain maid,
she did the milking herself and the
housework generally. Both candidates
did their best to please her. Early in
the morning after the night in question,
Humphrey Marahall arose, and seeing
the lady milking COW near the honse,
he broke off the branch of a tree and
began brushing the flies off the animal
with much effusion. After several
agreeable words had been exchanged
he remarked that he did not see bis
friend Powell around and supposed he
was sleeping late. "Oh," rejoined the
quiet sarcastic woman. MIR. Powell,
he's been up and about this half hour,
and l sent him back O the barn where
he's holding the other calf" Marshall
never wholly understood the remark,
but Powell got the vote of that county.

into the room. "Why; where is he,

lowed him into the presence of the hap

But her own happiness was not so
far off as she thought, for Arthur, COM

that ii should be double wedding, and
in this he was aided and abetted by
Edith and Richard.
"To think that all my happiness is

Richard to his friend.
"And Susie's diplomacy" muttered
Arthur.

Average Annual Cost of Living.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
How many persons have even rough
idea of the average sum upon which by
far the larger part of the citizens of the
United States are fed, clothed aud
housed? Arecent statistician estimates
that so per cent. CT the population of
this country is supported By from 10 to
so cents per capita day. At the lat
ter figure this makes $16425 as the
average annual cost of living: but, as by
average we mean the balance between
extremes, there must be many persons
who have not even this sum to live up
on. That 80 cents day is q generous
estimate will be admitted when il IS re-
membered that many mill operatives
earn only from 50 to 81 week, and that
the wages of farm hands run from so
to $50 9 month, and that on these sums
several persons are often supported.
When it is remembered, too, that some
other human beings have a yearly in
come equal to what Is necessary for The
subsistence of 500 or LOCO of these
average" mortals, the startling con-
trast between the extremes OF our mod.
ern society must be most evident.

was battle more stubbornly contested.
Around and around the store we fought;
casks and barrels were overturned,
boxes emptied, bottles and jars broken
and their contents scattered IN all dIrec-

It was not until his flesh began
to sizzle that he cried Enough and l
released him. He had received the
worst of the fight. Two of his ribs were
broken his wrist was dislocated and he
was bruised and gashed from head to
foot. He fell to the floor in FAINT, and
picking him up carried him across the

responsible for the bill. When came
out on the street the whole town was
there to receive me, for the news that /

citizens to appraise the damage done by
us in the supply store and then asked
the storekeeper to make out his bill. 1t
amounted to forty odd dollars. / paid
one half of it and got his receipt. Then,
with the bill in my hand, went across
the street to where Fink was lying prop
ped up in bed.
"'Fink, said, I'll pay your doctors

bill for the damage done by us in the

if you don't pay the other half I'll give
you worse whipping than the one You

Personal Gossip.

Mr.. Sims Reeve was lately mulcted
in ESQ damages for not singing at q
concert got up by local music seller
in small English town. His defence
that he was disabled by hoarseness from
performing his contract was net salts
factory to the special jury which tried
the case. Many verdicts like the above
would prevent hoarseness from attack
ing singers at the wrong time.
Lord Bramwell recently, in giving
judgment in an important Scotch law
suit took occasion to review briefly the
celebrated case of Shylock VS.. Antonio
(Shakspere's Reports), and said: II
am quite certain that I would have de-
cided that case in the way fair Portia
did, not, perhaps, upon all the same
reasons, but upon some of them As a
matter of fact, Shylock never had the
pound of flesh which could be called
hist had never been appropriated to
him; and he could only get it by con-
siderable crime, no less than murder.
But if the pound of flesh had been APP
propriated to him, 1 should have given
the pound of flesh to Shylock."
This is from a private letter from
George Eliot: Dickens death came as
great shock to us. He lunched with
us just before we went abroad, and was
telling us story of President Lincoln
having told the Council, on the day he
was shot, that something remarkable
would happen, because he had just
dreamt, for the third time, a dream
which twice before had preceded events
momentous IN the nation. The dream
was that he was in boat on great
liver, all alone, and ne ended with the
ords, I drift drift drift Dick
ems told this very finely"
Strange sights are to be seen in our
large cities. The other day, in New
York, a richly dressed, handsome oman
about thirty years of age, was found in
toxicated in street car. She was re-
moved by policeman, and placed in
the alcoholic ward hospital. Diamonds
sparkled in her ears, and her seaIskin
sacque open at the throat displayed q
gold pin. Her dress was of silk. Three
rings glittered on her hands, and she
wore handsome watch and chain. In
her pocket book was found newspaper
clipping stating that eliza Hall has
received an absolute divorce from John
Hall" She answered no questions, but
it was evident that she had a pathetic
history.
A pleasant little episode occurred on

The cost of an article has been usual
ly marked on it, the salesman knowing
what to add; but this plan is losing IN
popularity and is being replaced by the
better method of marking the selling
price. Employing the key word AN
ehorites," an article marked say ga, i,e,'
would indicate $1.75. Some merchants
have both cost and selling rates marked,
in which case the two are separated by
a line, the cost being on top and the
selling price under. Humorously in
clined individuals not frequently get up
key word or term which would make
customers smile were they aware of the
contrast between the mysterious cost
marks and that from which they are
derived. No little ingenuity is display
ed in the selection, but after the essen
tial of ten unrepeated letters there is
nothing wanting but the simplest Or
biography that the foot of the spoilers
in the statesmen class may have no. in
ducement whatever to go wrong.
