A veteran who served in the ranks in Il
recent letter calls attention to very
amusing incident Of IN imposing field
review. Previous to the campaign into
Georgia General Rosccrans was review
ing that portion of his splendid army
that lay about Winchester and Dcchurd.
There had been Il sharp saving of rations
TO get ready for the long advance. As
the General commanding came riding
along the line man in the Second Min
ncsota cried out: tLcss review and
more to cat" General Rosccrans refined
in, and, touching his hat to the soldier,
replied: GA lean dog ior Il long race"
On reading this letter to General Rose
Grams he added another story almost rs
good. He was riding with Mr.. Dana, the
Assistant Secretary of War, along the
lines Of new and formidable works in pro
cess Of construction at Chattanooga just
after the occupation of the works.
Stopping at Fort Wood, Mr. Dana was
adEiiring its strength, and saying that it
compared favorably with the strongest ut
Fic&sburg. General Rosecrans, turning
to the working party, said "Boys, do
you think You can hold this work2" One
OF them promptly replied: General,
we'll hold this line if you'll open the
cracker line A few days ago this SOL
dicr walked into General Rosecrans's
office in the Trenriry Department, and
asked him if he remembered the Incl.
dent. The caller was delighted to find
that it was still fresh in the Generals
memory, and that he also remembered
some other features of the day and scene.
The visitor then introduced himself as
the author of the crackcr-linc observa-
ton
Aside from their amusing features the
stories illustrate IL relation between the
volunteer in the ranks and tho highest
officer that was one of the main bonds of
union and which contributed largely to
the strength of our armies. - Commercial

occupied by one figure only, the red glow
OF whose cigar CLEANED in the frosty air :;
and just as the scent of it reached Jim he
saw the horse suddenly plunge and stag
ger forward The wrc-snarc had done
its work, the animal fell heavily, and the
driver, thrown off his balance by the
shock, shot out on to the snow. Before
he could rise, the men were upon him; ;
but somehow he managed to shake them
clear and struggle to his feet. lie faced
them boldly aud met their rush with IL
right and lcft-handcr which sent one to
the ground, but tue other two closed in
upon him.
Jim looked on with languid interest.
Evidently 1t WAS some magistrate waylaid
by three men who had Il score to settle
against him. 1t was no business of his,
anyway, and though three TO one was
hardly fair, he was not going to interfere.
The gentleman fought well, whoever he
was, and again sent an assailnnt back
ward with wcll-got-in blow. But the
odds were too heavy, and the cudgcls
told. He began to staggcr and give
ground, and blow on the head beat hip
down. "Givc il him, lads, if we swing
fort" cried the tallcst of the three viii
hiins, jumping upon him. mad and blind
with rage.
A ray of moonlight fell upon the up
turned face of the fallen man; ii was that
Of the gentleman who five years ago had
talked with Jim in the lane. In an in
slant he was over the gate and at the
men like ii tigcr-cat, and so sudden was
his onset that they gave ground; then,
seeing he was alone, they rushed at him
with oaths and threats. Weak from
want of food and half dead with cold,
poor Jim had never II chance For a
few seconds he held up do.gcdly against
the shower of blows; then feeling lie
was done for, stopped suddenly, flung
his arms round the scnsccss Squire, and
with one last effort managed tn roll into
the deep ditch, keeping himself upper
most. The brutcs jumped down and
strovc to make him loose his hold of
their victim; but stunned and blinded

Next morning they were found to-
gcthcr in the tramplcd, blood smcarcd

Hugh Boynton often wonders, rs he
looks at the white stone which he put up
over namclcss grave, who his preservcr
was. But the recording angel will one
day tell how Jim, the tramp, the "out-
and-out bad lot, gave his life for the

Praying Against Time.

An undergraduate in one of the uni
vcrsities not so very far from New York
tells the following story of how one of
the Greek letter fratcrnities in the insti-
tuition recently captured the presidency
OF one OF the literary societies ut time
when the Office was, for some reason, par
ticularly to bc desired:
"First we made coalition" he said .
'with the fraternity whose man was al
ready in the chair. Counting their fell
lows and our own and the fellows of an
other fraternity, we found that We had
just one man moro than the opposition
party, But when the society met on its
regular evening one OF our own fellows.
4 man not always to be relied upon, was
missing. 1t was time for the society to
be called to order, and the first business
would be the election of officers. The
fellows on the opposition were triumph
ant. We had few minutes consulta-
ton with ourselves and with the Prcsi-
dcnt, and then two of our men quietly
left the hall
at had always been customary to open
the meetings of the society with some
brief kind of devotional exercises
mere form, sufficient to keep up the an
cicnt habit. The President called on one
of own fellows to oiliciatu. lie walked
to the big Bible, opened it at the 10th
Psalm, and began to read. He read on,
and on and on; thirty minutes passed
The fellows on the other side were in
amazcment. lie finished the Psalm: then
he began prayer. He was II good fell
low and n candidate for the ministry.
And such ditIuscd and capable praying l
never heard. BY this time the opposi-
ton were beginning to sec through the
ruse. lie was praying against time while
the missing man was being hunted up
and brought in to vote. But there was
nothing to be donc-therc was no pro-
vision in the constitution for calling Il
man to order on devotional exercises. So
he prayed on-hc prayed for the Society,
for the University, for the Government,
for the heather, he put a complete sup
plicatory belt about the earth-hc prayed,
i'll fact, until there came light tap at
the door and the Sergeant at Arms opened
it to admit the missing man guarded by
the fellows vino had gone to find him.
We got our man in as President, and by
my watch that fellow 1--WE call him Dea-
con, now had prayed thirty seven min

The Most Costly Wool.

The most costly of all the various
woods now in use among cabinetmakcrs
is what is technically known as French
walnut; it does not, however, come from
France, but is brought from certain parts
of Persia, Circassia, and Asia, its growth
being thus exclusively Oriental. To
work the logs into condition for
veneers, they are first subjected to n
steaming process until they become al
most as soft as butter; they are then
fastened to an iron beam, which rcvolves
around finely tempered knife with n
razor-like edge of the same length as the
log. Every time this beam turns around
it moves a fraction of an inch nearer to
the knife, and thin sheet of wood is
shaved off with great smoothness and
laid on the floor; these sheets are in fact
but the one hundred and twentieth of an
inch in thickness, and indeed the vcneers
are frequently made as thin ms IT'S to the
inch. The vcncers used on furniture are
somewhat thicker, the thinner ones being
'cd on picture frames, also for covering
walls in some cases.
