A Modest Request.

We called him Handsome Dick" but it
would be great error to infer from this
that Lieutenant Fletcher was not as brave
fellow as ever drew sword. He was
quick witted, and his admiration for a
pretty woman knew no limit.
In the assault on the Crater before Peters
burg, Fletcher, who was one of the first
men inside the enemys works, was desper-
ately wounded and carried back.
The doctors expected him to die within
twenty-four hours, but as he stubbornly
persisted in living he was shipped to City
Point, and from thence forwarded to a
hospital in West Philadelphia.
This hospital was daily visited by num-
bers of sweet faced, pious Quaker girls, and
that their presence did the men good there
can be no doubt.
One day beautiful girl dressed in sober
gray and looking like all angel here on a
brief visit, was distributing flowers to the
wounded men, when, as she neared Fletch-
er's cot, she heard him cry out impatiently:
80 Lord! this is blanked hardp'
Hurrying to his side, to give him flowers
and gently to rebuke his profanity, she
said:
sI think heard thee call upon the name
of the Lord. am one of his daughters. Is
there anything can ask him for thee?"
One glance at the lovely face and Fletcher
replied on the instant:
eyes; please ask him to make me his
son-in-law." ALFRED r. CALHOUN.

Bragg's Command.

General Bragg was one of the most rigid
disciplinarians in either army during what
some one has euphoniously called "the re-
cent unpleasantness."
When the Confederates retreated from
Murfreesboro after the battle of Stone
River, the private soldiers were somewhat
demoralized, but not SO much so as to lose
sight of any little chance to add to the
comfort of a march that would have been
trying under any circumstances.
One of these soldiers, a ragged Texan
named Bridger, found an old mule in the
woods, and eXtemporizing a halter he
mounted the creature and went on with
the line, envied by his less fortunate COM
rades.
With his long hair, long legs, corncob
pipe and air of perfect content the Texan
was picture that made the weariest and
the hungriest laugh.
While thus working his passage with
the loose end of the halter, a company of
bestarred and bespangled horsemen-Gen-
eraI Bragg and his staff-rode up and were
about to pass on when the unusual ap-
pearance of the Texan on the mule at
tracted their notice. He however, did not
seem to see or heed them, but smoked on
and whacked the mule with an air of care
less Indifference.
~ With his bushy brows lowering over his
fierce, black eyes, General Bragg looked at
the man and demanded:
"Who are you, sir?"
Without looking at his questioner, the
man freed his mouth from cloud OF
smoke, kicked the mule and replied:
Nobody"
"Where did you come from?" was the
next question.
Nowhere"
"Where are you going?"
"Don't know, do you?"
"Where do you belong?"
Don't belong nowhere"
care you sure?"
'Sartin." .....
Don't you belong to Bragg's army?"
'sBragg's army! Bragg's armyl'' grunted
the Texan. "W'y, Bragg amt got no armyl
One-half of it he shot in Kaintuck jest for
foragin, and the other half's jest been
whipped to death at Murfreesboro."
General Bragg asked no more questions,
but turned and spurred away.

patllies that induced her to do anything in
her power for the boys in gray One day
gaunt private soldier with red hair and
straw colored whiskers and the dust of
weeks march on his face and clothes,
stopped at the house and said to the lady:
Madam, I'm most nigh played out with
hunger; can get bite of dinner here?"
Certainly, was the reply, t'but as am
preparing dinner for General Magruder
and his staff, and have not room at my
table for even one more, you will have to
wait for the second table,
THANK you, ma am, /" said the soldier, as
he snacked his lips in anticipation of
hearty meal; "tain't the number of the
table care so much for as the amount of
the grub"
The lady went away, and the soldier
took position near the dining room door,
where he could watch the movements of
the servants and regale his expanding nos
trils on the odor of the dishes carried past.
At length the bell rang, and unable to
resist the temptation, or it may have been
in obedience to the profound modesty that
is ever SO characteristic of the old soldier,
the man made a break for the commissary
and took seat near the head of the table
General Magruder sat down near the
man and seowled at him, but this had no
more effect than water on ducks back.
When the lady came to count noses it was
found that one of the staff must wait till
the second table.
The way that private soldier ate sur
prised even old campaigners. He went at
it and kept at it. not as if it were pleas
ure, but the most serious business of his
life.
When the last course came, and while
the unexpected guest was quietly letting
out his belt two more holes, the general
turned to him with a scowl, and asked:
'Sir, have you any idea with whom you
are dining?"
Without looking up or ceasing in the
work of adjusting his belt to meet the de-
mands of the dessert, the soldier drawled
out:
"Wa-al, no. uster be mighty partick-
ler on that score, but sence this doggon
wah began don't keer cuss who eat
with-pervidin the yictuals is clean and
there's enough to go round"
Magruder had the good sense to join in
the laughter that greeted this sally.

A REPLY RECEIVED.
Answer from Salisbury to the Presidents
Inst Note.

Answer from Salisbury to the Presidents
Last Note.
LONDON, March 2S.-Lord Salisbury,
under date of March 26, replied as fol-
lows to Sir Julian Pauncefote, in re-
sponse to Mr.. Wharton's note Of
March 22:
"In reply to your telegram of the Esd
inst, notice has been given to owners of
ships sailing for Behring sea that agree
ments at present under discussion, as to
arbitration and as to an immediate
arrangement, may affect the liberty of
sailing in Behring sea. There has been
notice of their liability to possible inter
ruption, and they will sail subject to
that notice. The question of time is
not therefore urgent. Inform the presi-
dent that when the treaty has been
ratified there will arise new state of
things. Until it is ratified our conduct
is governed by the language of your
note of June II, 1899. But when it is
ratified both parties must admit that
contingent rights have become vested in
the other which both desire to protect.
We think that the prohibition of seal
ing, if it stands alone, will be unjust to
British sealers if the decision of the ar
bitrators should be adverse to the United
States. We are, however, willing,
when the treaty has been ratified, to
agree to an arrangement similar to that
of last year if the United States will
consent that the arbitrators should, in
the event a decision adverse to the
United States, assess the damages which
the prohibition of sealing shall have in
ficted on British sealers during the
tendency of the arbitration, and in the
event of decision adverse to Great
Britain should assess the damages
which the limitation Of slaughter shall,
during the pendency of arbitration,
have inflicted on the United States or
it's lessees. AS an alternative course
we are also willing. after the ratifca-
ton of the treaty, to prohibit sealing in
the disputed waters if vessels be except
ed from prohibition whose owners pro-
duce certificate that they have given
security for such damages as the arbi-
traitors may assess in case of decision
adverse to Great Britain, the arbi-
traitors to receive the necessary author
ity in their behalf. In this case re-
striction of slaughter on the islands
will not in point of law be necessary"

SOME ODD STORIES.
INTERESTING INCIDENTS RELATED BY
MAYOR ALFRED r. CALHOUN.

How MIR. Rensselaer, Van Cortland Exer-
cised His Judgment Regarding Dia-
| monds--An English Colonel Who Said
He Knew Little of Gems.
| tCopyright, 1892. by American Press Associa-
| tion.l
Did you ever hear about Mr.. Rensselaer,
| Van Cortland's $4,000 diamond? No?
| Well, / will tell you. Of course you
| know that Mr.. Van Cortland not only be-
! longs to one of the oldest and bluest
blooded families in New York, but that he
| is also great traveller, fine scholar, and
has inherited nearly as much wealth as the
Hon. William Waldorf Astor.
You may not know, however, for unfor-
tunately you do not belong to the -Four
Hundred, that Mr.. Van Cortland s splendid
Fifth avenue mansion is literally packed
with rare furniture, costly bric-a-brac, the
only existing copies of priceless books and
a collection of precious stones equal to that
of most crowned heads. The jewels are
kept in huge iron safe let into the wall OF
the library, and it comforts the owner to
know that this receptacle is both fire and
burglar proof.
One night Mr. Rensselaer, Van Cortland
accepted an invitation to little private
dinner given by one of his very W par
ticular friends at the Elite club, and there
he met Colonel de We're. Why colonel
no one inquired. He was cultured, trav-
eled, had been acceptably introduced and
was an Englishman, all of which was suf-
ficient to commend him to even SO blue
blooded and exclusive man as Mr.. Van
Cortland
But it was neither the colonel's well
bred bearing, brilliant conversation nor
handsome person that attracted the at
tention of Mr.. Van Cortland, but large
diamond of wonderful brilliancy which he
wore in his white scarf.
This jewel so fascinated Mr.. Van Cort-
land as to seriously interfere with his en-
joyment of the really excellent dinner.
After cigars were lighted and the guests
withdrew to the smoking room, Mr.. Van
Cortland sought the first opportunity of
engaging Colonel de We're in private con-
versation, and by way of leading up to the
diamond in the scarf he adroitly turned
the talk to gems and precious stones, and
he was not a little surprised to hear the
colonel say:
'.The subject is certainly very interest
ing, Mr.. Van Cortland, but l must ac-
knowledge know but little about it,"
''Why my dear sir" protested Mr.. Van
Cortland, his eyes riveted on the dazzling
stone in the colonel's scarf, ''in securing
that wonderful stone you showed that you
not only have taste, but that you had a
good deal of spare cash at the time of the
purchase"
The colonel laughed, took the pin from
his scarf and said, as he passed it over:
"You are not the first man who has been
mistaken in that stone. 1t was presented
to me by one of my captains in India, but
