STORIES OF GENERALS.

After Mr.. Sumner had criticised Gen. Grant
about atheism in New England, and re-
marked:
Even Sumner does not believe in the
Bible"
.why should hep" quietly replied Grant.
"He didn't write it."
When Gen. Sherman was travelling through
New Mexico after the civil war he remarked
to a company of friends:
'I always thought the Mexican war was an
unholy war, but now would like to fight
Mexico again"
When asked why, he replied:
'To make her take back New Mexico"
Gen. Malone was wounded at second Man.
assas, and some one. to comfort Mrs. Malone,
said:
''Oh, don't be uneasy; It's only flesh
wound"
Mrs. Malone, through her tears, cried out:
"Oh. that is impossible; theie Is not flesh
enough on him for that"
In 1886 Gen. Sherman, then retired, visited
a military post and was present while the
class was at signal drill. The instruction was
with the heliograph-an instrument invented
since the civil war. The general seemed in
terested, but affected not to understand its
use, and wanted it explained; at the same
time he stood so rs carefully to intercept with
his person the SUMS rays from the mirror, 50
the signaling ceased.
$50 OH with your work, boys; don't stop
for me, I'm back number" called the gen.
eral
"We can't, general; you are cutting of the
light" replied the operator at the screen.
The general jumped back quickly, apollo
giving as he did so.
"Yes, yes; the world is marching on and
we old men have had our day and are strag-
Cling behind. Why, in my time we did this
sort Of thing by shaking flags, and we called
1t 'wig-wag.'"
Then he laughed and walked away across
the green parade.

NO FOOL OF A DAY,

April First Changes, Under the Census, in
Personnel and Division Work,
The approaching completion Of the work
of the Eleventh Census Is resulting in a grad
uai depletion of the ranks of employees. The
total number of names borne on the rolls Of
the Bureau is now a little over 800. At least
several score of these will be given notice of
dismissal on the 1st of April, the next pay
day.
Conferences between Superintendent Wright
and the chiefs of divisions are held almost
daily, and the chiefs are frequently qestioned
as to the probability of completing various
branches of the work in the time estimated by
them.
The expected dismissals for the middle of
the month did not materialize, and the already
selected names will probably constitute large
portion of the list for dismissals on the 1st of
April.
1t was the intention OF the officials to let the
insurance, agriculture and transportation di-
visions cease last Thursday, but their discon-
tinuance was postponed for short time.

THEY GO TO SLAVERY WILLINGLY
To Enter a Harem is the Height of a Cir
cassian Girls Ambition

Far from dreading their sale the girls of
Circassia look forward to it as the greatest
opportunity of their lives. They go to seek
it. says the Popular Science Monthly. as
conscious jewel might start in search of
costly setting. They show no more reluc-
tance than Esther manifested when Mordecai
delivered her over as one Of the fair young
virgins gathered from far and near to adorn
the palace of Ahasuerus. Indeed, the history
OF Esther reveals the motives which probably
animate each of the many maidens Of Circas-
sia. who to this day re-enact the old Biblical
story Each believes that it is she who may
find grace and favor in the royal crown, and
thus control at will the rise or fail Of the
royal scepter.
But even if not chosen by royalty those who
purchase the beautiful damsels of Circassia
are the wealthy and titled. and notthe slight
est social degradation is attached to their po-
sition even if taken to harems wherein a
Turkish wife may be installed as head of the
household. The common dependence of all
the inmates of harem upon the favor of
lord who may at any time elevate Circas-
sian slave to the position OF lady fosters
spirit of equality, of pure, practical democ-
racy that would be inconceivable under any
other circumstances. and in our Southern
slave relation to nominal mistress was to-
tally undreamed of. As Turkish lady ex-
planned to an astonished English visitor. "a
slave may become lady any day, and in
treating her rs one beforehand We take off
much of the awkwardness which would else
ensue." When we consider that all the chill
dren of slaves are acknowledged as the legiti-
mate children OF their father. we must confess
in Justice to the Turk that theirs is condi-
,ion in which the evils of slavery to the slave
are reduced to minimum
