voltaire and Chesterfield.

My private opinion is that many of the
anecdotes and bright sayings attributed to
famous men were made up by their more
witty and dependent servitors or literary
hangers OH. However, the following story.
which / heard years ago, sounds as if it
might be true, for the men concerned were
quite capable of such u witty passage at
arms:
The famous Lord Chesterfield was at a
grand dinner in Paris where the no less
famous Voltaire was one of the guests
The Englishman, with mild admiration in
his eyes, was gazing about the brilliant
gathering of ladies when the French wit
addressed him
My lord, l know you are a Judge
Which think you are more beautiful-the
English or French ladiesp"
With quick glance over the assembly
Chesterfield answered, Upon my word
Mr.. Noltaire am no judge of paintings. I"
Some time after this Voltaire went TO
London. where he was lionized. One
evening at a ball, given to the diplomatic
corps at st. James palace, Voltaire and
Chesterfield met again. a lady, prodi-
giously painted, was so attracted to the
brilliant Frenchman that her conduct ut
tracted no little attention.
Chesterfield came quietly up, and tap-
ping Voltaire on the shoulder he whis-
pered:
Take care, sir, you are in danger of be-
ing captivated"
Voltaire, with one of those quick, side
long glanccs for which he was noted re-
piled:
MY lord. ! scorn to be taken by an Eng
lish craft sailing under French colors."

SOME ODD STORIES.
INTERESTING INCIDENTS RELATED

The Story of n Daring Young Union
Scout Who Seemed to Havo IL Charmed
Life and Succeeded Best Where the
Chances Were Desperate.

toni
Old troopers of the Army of tho Potomac
will remember Charley Marsh, who was
not only one of the most intelligent and
fearless scouts in the service, but whose
deeds of daring if set down in the plaiinest
poem would thrill the heart like a buplc
blast.
The Confederates, particularly in Vir-
ginia, had many keen, brave fellows con-
nected with Their. secret service-men who
had taken their lives in their hands so
often that they came at length to be in
different to death; but the best of these
was not n match for this famous Union
scout.
In December, 1862. when Charley Marsh
'cut loose from the stars and stripes" and
entered the enemy's lines to burn n bridge
In the rear of Lees army rs preliminary
to the Burnside campaign, he was only
twenty one years of age. He was tall,
slender, active and smooth faced, looking
more like school teacher or u Theological
student than the stout hearted, cool
Drained man he proved himself to be.
