bate regarding their new dictionary:
During Andrew JacksOu's second term
as President, Seba smith, alias Major
Jack Downing, a Wing, wrote series Of
letters which / had the pleasure OF read
ing at the time, in which lie represents
himself as being the Generals regular
attendant, ready to do his bidding at the
slightest notice, and lauding his every
act, but in such q satirical manner as to
really render him an object OF ridicule
''He especially showed up the Generals
ignorance, profanity and violent temper.
He would return papers to the various
departments, according to Major Down
ing, signed %. X; by which he meant
all correct that being his ignorant way
Of spelling it. His usual oath was, BY
the Eternal" On one occasion, contin-
ues the satirist, he was so enraged at some
public act hat he went out into the back
yard and split up a cord of kindling
wood before he cooled down. Smith al
ways signed himself Major Jack Down

conscientious scruples about taking

Mr.. Gould get that $40, 600 2'
The insinuation is that he got it by
means which are contrary TO the
precepts of Christ.

could not have been accumulated

In No Man'sLsnd.

Two shapes were walking on the strand
One starlight night in no mans land
Two shapes that during mortal life
Gave hate for hate, IN deadly strife.
They met. Swift forth their falchions flew;
Each pinned the other through and through;
Yet neither fell. Again they strove
FIR mastery, and madly drove
To right and left their falchions bri Int,
Nor sound nor cry profaned the night.
Through corselet, casque, and visor, to,
AS through the air, their swift blades few;
Until, amazed, they stood aghast,
And on the sands their weapons cast.
Then laughed they both at mortal strife,
The passing dream OF earthly life,
And clasping each tie Others hand,
They walk the shades Of no mau's land.
