A Tennessee chaplain the Rev. J. Il

regiment was encamped next to the
Thirtieth Louisiana, which was made
mp of French speaking men. The French
language, naturally enough, was a mys.

One night all hands were in the

river, and an attack by land was also
expected. The Tennessee boys, who woro
close to the boys from Louisiana, no.
ticed that the frogs in the numerous
ponds were croaldng incessantly in a
kind Of low, continuous chatter.
Hark, boysW said one fellow
''Thcse frogs have been camped so long
by the Thirtieth Louisiana that they are
all talking Frenchr'
At another time some of tho men
were lounging by the riverside when
they heard some French speaking wom-
en-, who were engaged in washing, talk
ing to each other
Suddenly one Of the boys called to an
other, who was noted for his slowness
of speech:
Come here quick, Sam, and hear

flutter Of her tongue and say more in a

that he had 81, 500 to his credit in the

This is accounted for by two circum-

delinquent in the association, the other
being that the book value Of his associ-

Eleven different versions Of the pound
of flesh story exist in the early itera-
ture of Europe, none Of which is found
ed on a historical basis, have one related
by the biographer Of Pope Sixtus V.
The original tale runs as follows; Simon
Cenada, a jew, enters into O wager with
Sechi, Christian, stalking a pound Of
his flesh against largo sum of money
of the Christian. The Jew loses the
wager, and Sechi insists on his forfeit.
The case is refcrred to the governor Of
the city, who in turn, places it before
the pope, who condemns both to lifelong
Imprisonment, from which they arc
finally released on the payment of q
heavy fine An Italian, Giovanni Floren-
tino, in tho sixteenth century, was the
first to change the roles Of the jew and
Christian, and in this altered form the
bard of Avon found the story. The poet
himself could scarcely have known any
Jews personally, since they were ox-
PEELED from England SEQ years before
his time and were not readmitted until
after his death. From stage presenta-
tions, from descriptions in books OF from
popular reports, which were always de-
rogatory to the Jewish character, the
poet derived his knowledge Of the jew.
