She Does Not Like Balky Horses.
lLhlcdg0 JoufnuI.I
M What are we stopning for?n said the

lChicdgo Journal
"What are we stopping for?" said the lady.
"Balky horse on the track, answered the
gentleman. He won't move for whipping or
pelting or whispers in his ear or-anything."
Did ever tell you," she asked, about my
experience with balky horse? No? Well, it
was out on the Colorado plains. The most ele-
CANT young eligible of our set had invited
me to take ride behind his high-spirited, fine
blooded horse got myself up to do justice to
the occasion. All went delightfully."- till, when
we were on the open plain outside Denver,
that valuable animal concluded to pause in his
rapid motion and mediate. My escort shook
the reins, clucked persuasively, demonstrated
eneouragingly, gave touch of the whip at
which the horse reared and kicked viciously,
but still we were stationary out on that lonely,
sandy level. My elegant escort grew red in the
face with modification, and clenched his teeth
so as not to let slip any regretable words"
''If you will allow me get out | could start
him." he said.
"Oh, by no means" I rejoined; ST could
never hold him. Let me get out, and try
putting sand in his mouth. I've been told
that worked like charm" And so it did.
clambered out of the buggy, grabbed good
fist full of fine sand. opened the jaws of that
horse and threw it in. The astonished horse
tore off like flash, and as l stood alone, five
miles from home in that solitary place, and
watched the maddened horse, the powerless
driver and the black buggy grow mere dot in
the distance, / decided the experiment had
been n perfect success as far as starting the
horse was concerned.

uuerinr a people capable of such exertions and
CONSEQUENT success And further, the veterans
OF these corps at least were in a fighting mood.
For davs. and through rain and sleet and mud,
they bad been performing the for them unusual
part of a Tetreating force; but now, at the last
place south Of Nashville where they could hope
e make a successful stand, they had placed
their backs TO the wall aud determined 10 win
or die
Northern blood was up. and rebel dead would
lie thickly in front of those light works before
tile living should pass over them and their de-
tenders.
Since the escape Of the Union forces at Spring
Hill there had been bitter discussions and re-
examinations among the rebel leaders. Hood
had charged the failure to close the path Of the
retreating Federals on his subOrdinates, and
seemed TO forget that being himself with one OF
his advanced divisions, be was himself response
bic for the enforcement OF his orders, ifany were
given That they were given has been again
and again denied but be that as IT may, ms
censure ranked IN the breast OF more than one
of his brave Generals, and Cleburne, as ne rooe
with a brother officer that morning, used very
bitter language regarding his treatment ana
declared his intention, after the coming battle,
Of calling for formal investigation. SmartIng
under unmerited rebuke, more than one gal
laut leader with desperate resolve threw him-
self and his brave men again and again against
that line Of blue only to be slam at the last or
TO find himself prisoner.
The morale of the rank and file OF the Con-
federate force was good. 1T had steadily driven
Its enemy from one position after another ior
more than a hundred miles with but trliing
loss and little fighting and was now informed
that all the Federal force available south oil the
Ohio was in front of it, and that beaten, Nash
vile with all its vast stores Of food, clothing
and arms, would be at its mercy, and Atlanta
would be well avenged.

measure.

Wendell Holmes Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's
Sir William Thomson recently delivered a
series of lectures on physics at Johns Hopkins Uni
out to make them event in social intellectual
circles. They understood that some mathematical
training was necessary, but Sir William sailed
right into questions involving deferental and inte-
gral calculus. After he had filed a blackboard
with equations, he turned and asked: " Do you
follow me?' few minutes later, in particular

if they saw any mistake call his attention to ie.
He wondered why everybody smiled. Half a

How YOhnson Quit.


Many of the Scandinavians who work in the
harvest fields of the South Dakota Valley
spend their Winters among the pineries of
Wisconsin, following the logs in the Spring
down the river One of them, an Olsen, sought
job last Summer in the Saltwater boom. Oh
sen was asked if he could handle the logs.
"Aye tank So" he replied. AVE varI1 me
blenty times on de Forks ofer en- Wisconsin, an
Aye tank Aye can yust vaFk any mans ofer

The foreman accepted him at his own esti-
mate and put him at work, but in an hour or
two he reappeared.
Master POss," he said, "Aye tank Aye haf

de water, an Aye tank Aye no make him 60"
"All right. You can have help. Do you
know Johnson2"
"Yah, Aye know johnson. johnson blenty

ever.

"Yah, Aye claim johnson hay quit"
"What was the matter with him2 Didn't

II Mns . soufherncr Afler AH.

A discharged soldier of the Pennsylvania
Reserves IN 1864 was serving in Sheridan army
IN the Shenandoah Valley, when he unwil-
lingly became guest OF Col. McNeils guerril-
Las, operating in West Virginia.
While in their hands the rebs often took the
chance 10 quiz him.
One day large number took their position
in the gallery ION the ienee), while one took
seat By Yank and opened the play pretty near
verbatim. IS follows:
RebLYank, I suppose you'uns think that
WesgBs treat our prisoners pretty badly?
Eaak--Well, yes; if our newspapers tell the
truth they are pretty badly treated. ! know
nothing about it personally, but ii reports are
true they are treated in a way that no civilized
people should treat their prisoners.
Reb-Well, you'uns treat your prisoners
pretty badly, too.
Yank-Not as badly as reports say our pris-
oners are treated. Why, it couldn't be done
1or two reasons: One, because no town could
be found in the North where the people would
stand by and permit such treatment as is told
Of in Libby, Danville, Andersonville and other
places; another is, that no Northern officer
could be found mean enough to carry out such
treatment. This last bluff strained Yank's
conscience, especially after the next sentence
Of the reb.
Reb-I was prisoner once.
4ank-Well, what did they do to you?
Reb-rbey took my watch, my money and
my knife.
Yank-That's what you fellows did to me.
Reb-But at Wheeling they gave me back all
but my knife. They never gave me that.
Yauk-Id be glad TO get back all but my
knife.
Reb-Then they took me to Alton, Ill,
where they put me in cell, and treated me
badly.
Yank-What did they give you to eat?
Reb-Bread, meat, coffee, beans rice-oh we
had enough; but that cell was a mighty mean
place. Then they took me TO Columbus, O.
Yank-HOu got good treatment there?
Reb-Kes; we had good clean quarters, plenty
70 eat and nice grounds; but then they took
us TO Fort Delaware, and there we were treated
badly.
Yank-What did they feed your
Reb-Meat, bread, beans, eoffee-oh, we had
plenty TO eat. What Re'uns complained of wa:
the abuse, the insults and Safeguarding by
tbe guards
9ank-Black guarding wouldn't make skele
tons Of our men. Yankees have pretty broad
hacks, and they wouldn't grow poor and break
down under mere Safeguarding.
heb-Well, what made it harder with we'un
and more aggravating was that the officer il
charge of the guard over our squad was
Southern Union man, loyal Virginian, from
Fairfax County, Va, our own County. (Thi
was accompanied by look as if, What do vol
think Of that?)
Kank-Didn't ] tell your They couldn'
Ind Northern man mean enough for that
lHere the audience roared, and one said, " Yout
better leave Eank alone, nOw."
