The first animal meeting Of the PENN
sula Agricultural aud Pathological Asso-
citation, which was held on Saturday after
noon, made an excellent report. II shows
that while the exhibition held at Hazel
Dell Park last fall cost 81, 1850, a bal
ance Of profit Of $976. 50 was left over.
II will be noted that this success was
achieved during a week Of the most disa-
greeable weather experienced for a year
or more. Thousands Of persons in this
city abstained from a second visit to the
park because Of the inclemency Of the
weather, With good fair" weather
there is no doubt that the gate receipts
of 1883 could have been doubled. TO do
this next fall is very desirable, because
the association no doubt feels that more
money ought to be paid out in premiums
for exhibits than was the case last fall.
we congratulate the association ON its
success Very few such ventures are
remunerative at the outset and the ex.
perience Of the wilmington Fair. as it
is and as il should be popularity called,
has certainly been exceptional and il
affords good reason to believe that what
has been 50 well begun will be continued
with even greater success.

cock. On tina. day, however, suffering
with dysentery and utterly exhausted, he
was sitting at the foot of a tree, his gun
between his legs, his head resting On his
arms, which grasped the barrel, and
sound asleep as Forrest and his staff rode
by. Drawing his sword and riding in
great e up to the little Johnny Reb,
Forrest with characteristic vigor was
about to come down on bis head with the
fiat of his sabre, or probably worse, when
the fellow awoke, took In the situation
at a glance, and cooking his musket just
as the sabre was appraised, he said:
"General, I am sick and cannot go any
further, and before God if you hit me
with that sword I'll put a bullet through
you if it kills me-"
AS quick as thought Forrest saw his
error and galloped on as if he had not
seen the little fellow at the tree. But
glancing back to see how his staff took
it, he saw them quietly laughing to them
selves. So he turned and rode up to
them, saying:
"Well, boys, you may laugh, but a man
is q fool that don't know when to strike
and when not; and by - I saw shoot
in his eye as plain as I ever saw it"
Forests parents were very rough, his
father, a great, fat lazy fellow, and as
Forrest used to tell the boys in Memphis,
che was as hairy as q hog and his ears
were SO long that they wouldfop together
when he shook his head" But his mother
was a trump and afraid of nothing. I
heard a gentleman, who was in Memphis
during the war, and when it was in the
hands of the yankees, say that one day
the General in command was astonished
to see a portly, red-faced lady present
herself before him, when the following
conversation took place:

"Well, l am Mrs. Forrest, General
Bedford Forests mother, and / got a
letter from Bedford t'other day and he
lowed he was out O. shirts and pants,
and wanted some. Now I know you've
got a big supply here in the commissary
and l jest want to ask you to send him a

"Why, madam" said the General,
your request is preposterous."
"Well, that may be-" she quietly re-
marked, "but," looking him steadily in
the eye, che lowed in a postscript that
if I couldn't find any way to send EN-,
he'd Jest ride into Memphis some day and
get 'em himself, and you know Bedford
never says he'll do a thing and not do it. "
That postscript was enough; he got the
shirts. JOEL G.. TRoTwooD.

DOCTORS EARNINGS.

Nobody ever heard of a millionaire
doctor. Some of them have comfortable
incomes, but no more. It is not a money
making profession, and the same amount
of talent and energy devoted to any regu-
lar business would bring in far better re-
turns. DR.. William Hammond has an in
come of 100000 a year, and is probably
better fixed financially than any other
American doctor. He is a very busy
man, and will hardly move for less than
$50. I told a friend of NINE, who was
going to New York for treatment, to get
DR.. Hammond. He sent his companion
to the doctors Office, but b. said he was
too busy to go to the hotel, only a few
blocks, and recommended another doctor
across the street. But my friends COM
panion insisted that he war ted Ham
mond. and the great physician finally con-
Sented to go, but gave warning that he
would charge $50 for the visit. But DIR.
Hammond is an exception.-PhysiciGa IN

"Ah," said the leading American hu-

he met at the Presth house, down by the
sea, "I think / have seen you before.
You graduated at the Snail university
last June, id you not?" ct did" re-
piled the stranger, with the air of a man
who would not lie about a little thing
like that. Eyes" said the leading Ameri-
can humorist, "I thought I recognized
you. I wrote the affair up for The Slab.
And what are you doing now2 Waiting
driving an express wagon?' "No."
ooh, I see; pitching for the Grounders ?"
"No; I have been appointed managing
editor of The Slab and am down here at
tending the national convention of marble
cutters. If you like I will give you an
assignment that will. help pay expenses"
And the leading American humorist went
out and lay down on the shingly bench
and died hard. Mighty hard.-Burdette,

LADY DUFF GORDON'S PET
SNAKE.

Lady Duff Gordon has a tame snake,
and used to carry her pet about with her,
wound around her arm Gnside the large
baggy sleeves that were then the fashion
and it would put its slender head out at
the wrist hole and lap milk out of the
palm of her hand. 1t was as fond of gilt
tering things as Lucie herself, and when
she took her many rings off her fingers
and placed them IN different parts of the
table it would go about collecting them,
stringing them on its little body, and
finally tying itself into a tight knot, so
that the rings could not be recovered un-
til it chose to unite itself again.-London

GEN. N. B.
ITO Ed. Tennessee Farmer.

Your criticism of Gen. Forrest, in last
weeks issue, was not at all far fetched,
and when you compare him as a cavalry
leader to Alexander, you have given him
a rank that history will ultimately award
to him. He was not even second to
Stonewau Jackson, and no sensible man
doubts that he'd have used up Phil Sheri-
dan, had he ever got in his way, as easily
as he did Sturgis, Smith and others.
Forrest was a born fighter and leader
of men. 1t was bred in him. A promi-
nent lawyer of Memphis, who knew
Forrest well and intimately, once said
that if Forrest had been educated for the
law, he did not believe he would have
had his superior in the State. Forrest I'M
proved a great deal during the war and
directly after it. A "nigger driver" in
Mississippi and Tennessee before the war
his associates were not such as would i'm
prove a mans morals or grammar; but
that he was a man of remarkable astute-
ness and force of character, no one ever
doubted.
Forrest was always a great talker, and
If he had not been a genius and brave as
a lion, he would have been a simple brag-
gart. Concerning this trait the writer
has heard Gen. Rucker, now Appointment
and prosperous citizen of Birmingham,
say that Forrest was the only honorable
exception to the rule he had ever seen,
of a Dragging man being no fighter.
In studying Forests character, I am
led to believe that he owes his success as
a soldier to his hard "horse sense,'' his
courage and his thorough knowledge of
human nature. This last was a gift he
possessed in a remarkable degree; and 1
am quite sure that it was the key to his
success in many instances where strategy.
n a thorough knowledge of whom he
was lighting were required. As an illus
tratlon OF his quick intuition of human
nature and especially soldier nature. I
Will give this anecdote: When Hoods
army was ~retreating from Nashville
everything depended on Forrest; he an
