Too YoUNG.-A correspondent who was for
many years in close personal relations hip with
Sir Richard Owen, sends to the British Medi-
cal Journal the following interesting notes
In September, 1916, Owen WIS present at the
Association If Naturalists held at Naples, and
from thence went on to Rome as a guest at
the Palazzo BuonapE}fe. Ia his younger
days it was not easy to tell Owen's.a age from
his appearance, and being clean shaven he
looked considerably younger than be really
was. Accordingly, when he presented him
self at the Council, one of the foreign natural
lists, who was we'll acquainted with the work
the professor had already done, asked the
name ola youngish, fresh coloured individual
who was entering in g very modest aud
unassuming way. "His name is Owen" was
the reply. The Italian scientist accordingly
made his way over to Owen and said to him
"And how is your respected father?' Owen
took in the situation at a glance, ami replied
gravely, Il am sorry to say he L has been
dead for some years now" "Uncle, l should
have said, PEI haps," pursued the. foreign
gentleman, Il have no uncle living" WAS the
answer. "You don't mean to say that You
are the author of all chose books ?" Owen
assured him that such was the case, but it
was some time before the learned foreigner
was convinced..Daily Telegraph.

A DOG WITH A MIND.

ne Uses 1t bringing His Master Aid In
Suffering.
During the civil war / was enlisted in
n -th New Jersey. With our regi-
ment was a nan named Harding. whom
we had picked up on the march. He
was a good-natured fellow, a fine shot,
and was soon recognized as a comrade
by the men He was accompanied by
an immense dog of Danish breed, and
n two were inseparable. While the
men would be playing cards around the
nre Bran would sit looking on with his
great, wise face.
During the battle of Shiloh, Harding
was severely wounded and left behind
by the troops. His dog had become
separated from him in the rush of the
men, and he had spent q fearful night
on the ground, suffering from cold and
thirst. In the morning we noticed the
dog running around and whining pitt
fully, he having noticed the absence of
his master. At last he ran of. After
searching some three hours among the
dead and wounded, he found his master
in the corner of a broken down fence.
He was out Of his head and was talk
ing brokenly Of home and friends.
Then he changed his cry TO Water!
waterf' and as we stood over him we
could hear him saying, "Waterl"
The dog heard it, too, and, going to q
dead soldier near by, he literally tore
the coat off his back looking for the
mans ~canteen- He had none. The
next n had, and, tearing open the
pocket, he got it and ran back to his
master. Placing it in his hand he sat
down beside him as though satisfied.
We gave him a drink and her car
ried him to camp in our arms. He lost
consciousness on the way, and died
oon after.-N. Y. Recorder.

NOTES FOR OLD SOLDIERS.

ONE of the legacies enumerated in the
will of the late Commodore Hunter, Of
New Orleans, was a block of confederate
bonds, of the face value of 81, 500, which
he had received for his services in the
confederate army.
SOME printers among the Iowa troops
under Col. Bates, while guarding the
Hannibal & St Joseph railroad in Mis-
souri,, seized a printing Office at Macon
City and published a paper for a time
which they called "Our Whole Union.

IT is said that the confederate briga-

ten Southern generals are left in the

the house. The most picturesque Of
them all is Walthall, of Mississippi, who
succeeds Lamar in the senate. Gen
Walthall is tall and q very slender man,
with a veritable name of black hair.

OLD MAIDS ALL RIGHT.

There Are Hundreds of Ladies Who do
Not Marry Because They Don't Wish
To.
There never was a greater mistake
than the prevailing notion that because
a woinan passes the first flush of youth
without joining hands at the altar with
some lord of creation she must be in
evitably an undesirable creature that
from henceforth will be called an old
maid and made the subject of silly jest
and thoughtless ridicule.
As a woman talking to women ana
men as well, we give as our candid
opinion a rather pronounced statement,
but one nevertheless that we believe in,
namely. that no woman lives to the age
of s. without at least having one offer
of marriage: therefore the silly notion
that is coupled with the term ''old
maid is entirely wrong.
A woman has her own reasons for re-
naming single. 1t isn't because no
man wants her, but rather because she
does not perhaps choose to ally herself
with such ones that have done her the
honor to ask her. or maybe there has
been IN ner nIe some great dlSappolut-
ment, or a finding out before IT IS too
late how much better it is to be even
called an old maid than an unhappy
wife.
Charming. attractive women, many
there who are still classed among the
sour-visaged, vinegary. elderly maidens,
whom we are accustomed to seeing on
the comic valentines. yet who. perhaps,
instead of being, according to the ger.
eral notion. mourning over their fate
because they are not matrons rather
than maids, could unfold many a heart
story of love and a to the gush-
ing youngsters who, just starting out
in life, think that to be an old maid is
to be on the human bargain counter
waiting for any chance purchaser

Vicksburg.
Our forces were arranged before
Vicksburg and we were waiting for the
turn of affairs which was imminent
when we sent old Uncle Nose Larkins,
our cook, out to forage for pro, isions.
As all is fair in love and war, we did
not question his right to some fat
chickens, but when a lady came in
the next day and accused our cook
Of stealing her silver, that was another
affair. We called Uncle Nose and be-
gan to question him.
Fore God, gemm'n, / amt seen no
SIGH things" he affirmed
We knew he was lying, and told him
we would string him up If he did not
return the silver, put as this had no
effect upon him we procured a rope, put
it around the old rascars neck and told
him II he had any thing to say, TO say
it at once, as he had only five minutes
TO live.
