The Old Generals Tale.

There is an old general in this town,
married to a young and handsome wife,
who delights in entertaining an after
dinner company with stories of his
prowess, sagacity and foresight during
the war whenever tho opportunity pre-
sents itself To listen to him one would
imagine that the ultimate success of the
Union arms was all due to him, and
that the share Grant, Sherman or Sher-
idan had in the matter was compare
lively small one. One of his stories
always begins:
"When was down in the Wilderness
with Grant in "a -"
That's usually the signal for half the
company to leave the room. but it does
not interrupt the old general in the
least. He would 60 on talking and fin
ishing his story, with no one present
and only the four walls there to listen
TO his wonderful tale.
Mamma" said the little seven year
old daughter Of tho general the other
day after having listened on the stairs
to the old story which her father had
just concluded in the dining room to u
company Of guests, Mamma wasn't
there anybody to help papa put down
the rebellion There must have been
some awfully mean men IN those days"
