GEN. COOKE AND GEN. LEE
Why General Lee Believed that n Line
W0uld Re Finished.

General Longstreet's story, in which Gen.
eral John r. Cooke figures. which was pub
lished in Saturdays Dispatch, suggests
an anecdote about General Lee and Cen
eral Cooke which has never been published
before. II is somewhat at General Cookies
exuense, and illustrates General Lees quiet
himOr and bis high opinion OF Cooke and
his North CaroliDians. While Cookies com
mand was stationed below Richmond, and
when every man had TO spread himself
out as much as possible, the boys threw up
two or three lines OF breastworks. Sud-
denly the engineer determined to change
the lire. and an order came 10 Cookies men
TO throw up another. There was consider
able growing. The boys would rather
have charged the enemy. However, they
went TO work digging dirt and swearing.
In day or two General Lee, with his
staff. came down 10 see how matters were
getting along and to inspect the work.
General Cooke was in his tent suffering
severely from neuralgia, and consequently
was mad with everything foot high and
day old. General Lee sent for him asked
if the WORK was finished.
..No. General replied General Cooke,
ait il not iinished, and | do not think 1t
ever will be-"
"Come on" said General Lee. " we will
see." And tie party started down the line.
The woIk had been given out IN sections
and certain number Of men assigned to
each section. Soon the party came TO a sec
ton that was finished, or nearly finished.
when General Lee turned to General Cooke
and said quietly: "WCll. General, this
seems 10 be finished. - General Cooke Oit his
lin. The members OF General Lees stili
made ill-concealcd efforts % keep from
smiling. Another section was reached and
found to be pretty well advanced towards
completion, and General Lee made the
same remark. A third section was
reached and the same thing occurred again.
By the time this little scene had been re-
pCated hall q dozen times nearly al The
blood in the gallant Cookies body had
mounted 10 his face, and the features Of
General Lees stafT-OfliceTs were undergoing
most crotesqIIe contortions. IL Is almost
s,fe 10 say that II General Cooke could have
gotten General Lee out OF the way there
would have been Il fight there and then.
lie wanted 10 whip somebody, and il DIDN'T
make much difference who that somebody
might be-General Lee, OF course, excepted.
Finally. the end Of the line was reached,
and General Lee. with the faintest suspicion
Of a smile on his lips and twinkle IN his
eve. remarked TO General Cooke: "Well,
General. | think il will lie finished. IL It
is not, It will be the first time that Cookies
r,en ever failed to do their duty"
Whether General Cooke sought out some
man after General Lee left aud licked'
him we have not heard.

A party OF twelve men working in COM

the "wbale llQueur," to stranger the birds
do not especially recommend themselves.
The manner In which Farce fowler goes
to work Is rather interesting. He has
primarily TO consider the wind, inasmuch
as this is the chief assistant force which
he presses into his service. II the

routine. BY barring the passage with bis
net he inevitably catches all the birds that
continue their flight through the rft, aud
his attributes then must be mainly those
Of strength and endurance. Oh course,
not everywhere can fowler attain 10
his perch by the exclusive use Of his
legs. Infinite pluck and nerve are
both necessary. And so honorable q
calling in youth Is that Of fowler con.

SOME ANECDOTES.

Another instance OF the peculiarities OF
this person. "most graceful Ia bearing and
born 10 great elegance OF manner" can be
derived from the following little incident
lie was 10 the habit OF drawing up himself
the basis OF the contracts with oil the men
be employed and giving the draft after
wards 10 some lawyer TO put 1t In shape.
One day be had 10 make a contract Tor a
ferry-boat boiler. He wrote II out. spell.
ing the word boiler "b-o-y.l.a-r." aud
gave IL 10 his young legal adviser, Samuel
Bsrger, TO put 1t in shape. OF course, the
first thing that Barger did was TO change
the spelling OF the word boiler. and when
be began 10 do so the Commofore said 10
him: "J.ook here, Sammy, II you don't
spell boiler b-o-y-lar," how the bell do
you spell iifn
All this DOESN'T Interfere with the fact
that the man was genius, but IL certainly

That the SO, 600 which has supported
this institution has been paid by fertilizer
companies, makes it no less y tax upon the
people OF course these people increase
the price of their goods to cover any tax
that may be levied upon them, Ny
view is this People are no more liable
to be imposed upon in fertilizers than
in shoes. sugar or cloth. Fertilizers
can be sold upon their merits as well as
these or any other articles one man IN

the owners of phosphate, coal, and other
deposits pay for the examinations of them.
AS for oysters they are luxuries and those
who find them and eat them ought to pay
for the survey of their beds. Not one IN
two thousand of our people ever saw an
oyster or wants to see one.
