General Folks Wit.

A good story Is told of Bishop Chen
Lieutenant General P0.K, of the con-
federate army, and another general,
whom we will call " Blank" who now
resides in Alabama: During the
Georgia campaign, and not long before,
General Polk was killed at Pine mouu-
tain, he requested General Blank to ac-
company him to hill in front of the
lines which commanded an excellent
view of the position of the opposing
federal forces. The figures of the two
officers outlined upon the sky as they
stood upon this eminence offered a
tempting mark for some federal gum
ners, and in few moments both lay
on the ground stunned and senseless
from the effect of federal shells. The
fortunes of war had brought together
most distinguished churchman and
one Of the brave and most trusted of
Forests fficers. The latter, however,
was not at the time noted for extrens :
piety, and was rather given to the Nse
of vigorous language and forcible Ak
pletives, which fact the good bishop
knew and regretted; he also knew that
his present companion was one OF the
very best and bravest men in the con-
federate service. The two officers lay
stunned for several minutes. General
Blank was the first to recover. Look
ing about him in dazed way, he soon
discovered the burly form of his COM
panion, who was breathiI g heavily, but
evidently coming round albright. In
few nome nts he heard General Polk
mutter: "Oh, Lordl where am |, where
am I?n General Blank, keenly alive to
a sense of grim humor, whispered
gently: "In hades, general" I'm
possible, !" whispered the semi conscious
Polk. "Who is it that tells me so2'
(" 1t is General Blank" solemnly re-
sponded that practical joker. ooh,
Lord" groaned the good bishop, shave
mercy on me! If Blank is here, l know
it must be true l'-Blue and Gray.

Lincoln and Curtin.

"The war governor was an honest
patriot and a brave man." writes
friend, "but he was of highly ner-
vous temperament in his younger days,
and this caused him to say and do a
good many things which he would have
left unsaid and undone if he had had
himself little better in hand. Lin
coin, with his quaint way of seeing
through human nature, read Curtin
like book. With all the respect
which he felt for the governors strong
points was mingled little irritation at
a side of his nature which The latter
would sh W now and then.
The two men got along very well
till the war was half way through and a
confederate army made an attempt to
cut through Pennsylvania to the North.
Then Curtin was seized with momen-
tary panic, and telegraphed to the presi-
dent: The rebels are within four miles
of Harrisburg and have begun firing
The answer which came back was |:
What are they firing at?' This ended
the correspondence. In after days
Lincoln used to say, alluding to the ep-
isolde, Curtin would be a better man if
he didn't lose his head in emergencies
And Curtin used to say of the war
president: Lincoln was a great man
very great man-but it was hard
sometimes to know how to take him. :"

"How many men are there? General
Grant asked: "How many men have
you, General Lee?" General Lee re-
piled: "Our books are lost; our organi-
cations are broken up; the companies
are mo 'tly commanded by non.eom--
missioned officers; we have nothing but
what we have on our backs" Inter
rupting him in this train of thought, l
