Where Is Camp Jackson a.?

One gentleman who visited st. Louis
This spring after an absence abroad of
nearly thirty years, asked TO be taken to
Camp jackson, where, as he explained.
his son was shot during the late un-
pleasantness." "To tell you the truth,
L really don't know where Camp Jack.

and heard Camp jackson spoken
OF repeatedly, but never had the
curiosity to inquire as to the exact
location" " can find it easily enough"
was the reply. cts in the woods on
the Olive street road, five or six blocks
west of the old city limits at Nineteenth
street" "There are no woods on
Olive street within four or five miles of
Nineteenth street." the guide promptly
explained, and if you are right as to
location, Camp Jackson is the site of
some OF the best residences in st. Louis,
with several merchant millionaires re-
siding in them" Inquiries proved that
the visitor knew more about the topog-
raphy of the city than his guide, for
what was Camp Jackson during the
war is now thickly-settled residence

city limits, and with tens of thousands
OF houses beyond it.-Lippincotts.

The CrucifixiOn Plant.

Those versed i'll plant and flower lore
say that the celebrated plant of Cal
vary" was unknown in the fora of the
world prior to the date of the crucifxion
of Jesus. According to the tradition,
the original plant sprang up in the track
made by PLATE when he went to the cross
for the purpose of placing that infamous
"title" over the head of him of whom the
Jews said, "Say that he called himself
King of the Jews" The plant as it is
now known IS common trefoil, resem-
bling the common clover in many partic-
ulars, especially in its peculiarities of
growth. There is but little doubt that in
truth it was originally "A native of Turkey
or India, but Christians who discredit the
story of its miraculous origin still claim
that its native home is Palestine.
Under the name of Calvary clover it is
known all over Europe At present the
three round, green leaves of the plant
each have carmine spot in the center,
which looks for all the world like a drop
of blood. During the day the three leaves
stand erect, the two side ones laterally
taking on almost the exact form of a
cross. During the season a small yellow
flower appears, its form and makeup re-
minding most startlingly of the crown of
thorns.-St. Louis Republic.

A ChancellOrviIle Incident.

In 1874 when the First corps made a
trip from Washington to the old Chan.
cellorville battle ground, the corre-
spondent of the Ithaca, N. Y, Journal
printed the interesting incident as re-
lated to him by Miss Chancellor, a
young lady who was in the old Chancel-
lorvi!le house at the time of the battle.
Gen. Joseph Dickinson, chief of the
staff OF General Hooker, was with the
party, and was describing the wounding
OF Hooker on the porch of the Chancel-
lorville house, when Miss Chancellor
said: owe my life to General Dick
lnson, On the morning of May 3, by
the withdrawal of the Union troops to
more available position, this house,
where we are now standing, W hich has
been rebuilt, a part of the old brick wall
remaining, was between the two con-
tending armies. Seventeen persons be-
side myself, including my mother, were
grouped together in the cellar. A burst.
ing shell set the house on fire, and in
the noise and tumult of battle we were
not aware that one part of the roof had
fallen in. and that we were so near being
burned alive, when General Dickinson.
at great risk of life and capture, left his
men and came alone to the house and
rescued u.s." Pointing to ravine about
one-half mile to the north, she said:
" lie assisted us to that ravine inside the
Union line, where we found shelter till
the battle was over" and added, 81 shall
always feel grateful to General Dickin-
son; he saved our lives Manchester

A Ram at Work.

1t was while we were in camp lust

One Hundred and Thirty.seventh New
York Volunteers. There was a very
self conceited captain in one of the
neighboring companies, who dressed as
gaudliy as possible, putting on all col
ors that his rank would allow. His
worst enemy was man belonging to
my own company, who seemed to have
no ability for anything except to for
age, so the boys were content TO let him
do it all. If anybody wanted turkey or
chicken all he had to do was to ask

A Brave Mother.

When Atlanta was being burned bv
old Sherman's shells, outen one of the
burning houses there came er great big
old mamma "cat, with er young kitten
in her mouth. She scampered through
the crowds, lodging the stamps of the
" fire-6ghters " and once in erwhile
drapping the kitten from the shock of
er cannon or the scattering of Yankee
boombs, but with her motherly devo.
ton she refused to leave her offspring
till she had put it where she thought it
safe, then she returned to the burning
building, for there were still more of
her children to be saved. BY the Sec
ond time that this old cat had made her
journey through dangers that this youp
generation will never know, she had
become er heroine, the crowds noticed
that she was rescuing her young from
the burning building, and, as if by
agreement, no one bothered, but all
seemed in sympathy. For the third
time the "mama cat came and went.
but at last, as she tried to come outen
the burning building, she seed that the
fire had cut her off, and that her only
chance was to escape through er win
dow on the second story. Getting upon
window'sill, she hesitated as if to get
better hold upon her kitten, and then
she jumped to the ground and scam
pered off into the darkness-she saved
all her kittens and l think that old
Sherman was glad of it.-Atlanta Con-

Tho Cat Tn Ancient Times.

The cat was so very highly regarded in England at one time, both as rat and mouse catcher, and as an ornament to society, that we find the following salu- tary law passed by one of the princes of Wales:
 eff any one steal or kill Cat that guards the Princes Granery, he Is to forfeit milch Eve, its Fleece and Lamb. Or, as much Wheat as, when poured upon the cat suspended from its tail, with the head touching the floor, would form heap high enought to cover the tip of the former"
 Though the Welsh had high opinion of the cat, the ancient Egyptians had still higher. These intelligent and civ- iized people treated cats with great dis tinction. It was a crime to kill them, and when they died they received pub lie burial, at which the people mourned. having first shaved off their eyebrows as a token of sorrow. The most prominent cats were upon death embalmed in drugs and spices, and cat mummfes have been found side by side with those of kings. When Cambyses, the Persian, attacked the Egyptian city of Pelusis, he cunning ly provided his soldiers with cats in- stead of shields. When the host ad- vanced, the Egyptians retired in oonfu- sion upon discovering that they would be unable to do damage to their enemy without seriously imperiling the lives of vast numbers of cats. And so the city was taken easily and without the loss of blood or of cat. It cannot be disputed that the ancient Egyptian cats must have enjoyed life very much.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.
