TOLD HIM.

Yes, had conversation once with General Forrest" said a citizen of Ark. ansaw in reply to a question asked by a friend. "I had just joined the army, and knew nothing of the rigid fashions of war. One night, after we had travelled all day, we stopped in the woods and were told that we would remain there until morning. We were all wondering where we were going. did DO, think that it was right to keep us in the dark, and made remark to that effect.
 "' Why don't you go and ask Forrest 1? some one remarked.
 "' am not acquainted with him. replied.
 That makes no difference
 "That sop
 "' Not bit. He would be glad to see you. l would ask him, but. borrowed a couple of dollars from him the other day and as have not been able to repay him have been keeping out of his way.
 "I found Forrest sitting uAder tree on camp stool closely drawn up to an improvised table.
 "Good evening" said !.
 "He looked up, searched me with bis peculiar eyes and said:
 "' What do you wantr
 My name is Dick Anderson
 " All right
 "I belong to your command. We have been riding all day without know ing where we were going, so 1 though, I'd come around and ask you
 "'You are very kind said he.
 " Not at all,' 1 replied.
 "' Now, Anderson, do not mind tell ing you con6dentially, but do not wan, the whole command to know it.
 %That's all right, general, won't tell anybody
 "'Won't say word2
 "No, sir
 "'You must not, you know, for the enemy might get hold oft. Lean over here and let me whisper to you.' Ileaned over and he whispered: We are going to he'll Well, sir, hurried away, and I'll pledge you my word and honor if, by ten o'clock the next day, didn't think we had already got there. That was the only conversation ever had with General Forrest.n

 Nothing suits the setter around bet. ter than to be where he isn't wanted. When unable to ge, drink of whisky, he IS ready to drink anything.

DIDN'T KNOW HIS NAME.

When Eli Perkins was in Little Rock and while he sat in the rotunds of the hotel, relating his experiences, an old farmer who had been an attentive listener arose, sighed wearily and remarked to a friend
 "Come on, Sam, Let's go. don't know that mans name and l don't want to hurt his feeiin's. but blam .d if l. .don's believe that he's the worst cut and dried liar ever saw. Come on, or hen fetch the rheamatiz back on me 90 bad cant hobble."

IN A COUNTRY TOWN.

h an Arkansaw country town, remote from railroad or tiyer, . piece oi ice, in the summer, often arouses the neighbor- hood. A lawyer, by some means un. known to the public, receives q piece Of ice. He puts 1t in bucket of water and carefully strs 1t around with a dipper. Pretty 5000 he takes drink and says;
 "Ah, that's something like it."
 The merchant, next door, comes in and the lawyer says:
 John, there's some ice water"
 "Tha, soS Believe I'll try line or two."
 John is witty and nothing could pre-. vent him from saying "a line or .wo.'
 He takes q dIpper full, drinks and says
 "Ah, that's something like it."
 When Iohn goes back to his store, he says to Uncle Billy Patterson, who has just come 10 town:
 "Uncle Billy, Judge Carpenter has A bucket of ice water"
 "Tha, so" the old man replies as he takes a quid of tobacco from his mouth and throws it in the direction of a small box Of sawdust. Believe I'll take few lines"
 Uncle Billy is also a witty man.
 "Hello" he calls, appearing at the door of the lawyers office, got any ice water T'
 "Yes, come ia, Uncle Billy. There l, is on the box."
 Then Uncle Billy, like the man who f,rod smoothly over the pave stones while the town pump was talking through it's nose, poun a stream "d0wn his red -ho, gullet," and says, as he losses the dipper back into the bucket
 "Ah, that # something like i.."
 Uncle Billy goes to the bIscksmith's shop. "Tom," says he, wouldn't you like to have 6rs.-class drink of water ? q wouldn't mind" Tom replies.
 @Weil, go around to udge Carpeptsr's. He's go. . bucket of ice-wa ater."
 Tom, wiping his smu,ty hasds on his black leather apron, goes to the lswyer's office.
 "Ice-water, judge2"
 "Yes, come in."
 He takes drink and declares that is l. something like 1t.
 By this time the news has spread pretty generally around town. A freckisd face boy, psntsg with exsrtion, hops on ss the doorstep and says:
 Mister, give me some ice-waier."
 Run along there, nov, ran along. Ice-watsr ain't good for boys." The boy goss away and tells com panion that he got drink.
 He said he didn't care how much ve dsunk, !" says the truthful boy. "Said we might come in an help ouselvss whsn- ever ve wanted to-"

The Finding of Greely.

1.-THE launch whistled frequently as
she steamed along, and we knew AFTER
wards that the sound was heard by
those who lay in the tent, which was
partly blown down. Barnard and Long
succeeded in creeping out from under
its folds and crawled to the top of a
hill near by. from which was visible the
coast toward Cape Sabine. At first
nothing was seen by them; and Brain
ard returned to the tent, telling by the
silent despair of his face that "there
was no hope" The survivors discussed
the probable cause of the noise, and de-
cided that it was the wind blowing
over the edge of tin can. Meanwhile
Long crept higher up the hill and
watched attentivcly in the direction
from which the sound had apparently
come. A small black object met his
gaze. 1t might be a rock, but none
had been seen there before. A thin
white cloud appeared above it; his ear
caught the welcome sound, and the
poor fellow knew that relief had come.
In the ecstacy of his Joy he raised the
signal flag, which the gale had blown
down. 1t was a sad, pitiable object
the back of white flannel undershirt,
the leg of a pair of drawers, and
piece of blue bunting tackled to an oar
The effort proved too much for him,
and he sank exhausted on the rocks. 1t
was enough for the relief party; they
saw him, whistled again, and turned in
for the shore with all possible speed.
Long rose again, and fairly rolled down
the hill in his eagerness to meet them.
The launch touched tie ice foot, and
the relief party buried towards him.
The ice-pilot of the Bear reached him
first, spoke a word of cheer, and asked
him where Greedy was. He informed
of the location of the tent and the state
of the party. They hurried in the di-
rection indicated, and soon reached the
tent, while Mr.. Lowe took Long off to
the Bear.
''ln reply to our ice-pilot's question,
is that you, GreelyP' a feeble voice re-
sponded, Yes; cut the tent The
pilot whipped out his knife and cut the
hind end of the tent open from as high
as he could reach to the ground.
Through this opening Colwell entered.
The light in the tent Gt was o'clock
p. M was too dim to see plainly what
lay before him, but he heard voice in
the farther corner warning him to be
careful and not step on Ellison and
Cornell. He found Greedy lying under
the folds of the tent, with the fallen
folds of the tent across his body. Bel
derbeck was standing; Ellison and Con-
nell lay on either side of the opening,
the latter apparently dead. Stepping
carefully across their bodies he dragged
Greedy out and sat him up. He was so
weak that he could barely swallgw the
crumbs of bareback that Colwen gave
to him in the smallest pinches. 1t was
said that Greedy first asked the rescuers
if we were Englishmen; and on being
told that we were his own countrymen,
he added, And 1 am glad to see you"
Ensign Harloa0, of the relief party.
