The safest place in BattIe.

Gen. Lee told an amusing story to
Charlottesville (ky) Chronicle reporter.
When he was about to deliver his adj
dress at the confederate reunion, in Craig
county, recently, some one came to him
and asked him If he would speak to an
old colored man who wished to speak to
him. The general consented, and the old
negro, whose name was Sam" and who
had fought throughout the war, came and
received the proffered hand. Gen. Lee at
once began to put questions to the old
fellow, who answered with wonderful
skill. The general then asked him where
he had seen the best time during the war.
AT Chickamauga," at once replied the
darkey, because ran as soon as the fir
ing began"
"But how did you know which way to
run in such hot battle?" asked Gen.
Lee, with a merry twinkle in his eye.
Il went directly to the safest place, and
the first 1 could find,' answered Sam"
coming to his climax.
Again he was asked how he could tell
which place was safe.
II knowed it was safe" answered
Sam" cause l skipped for de place
whar de generils was"
Gen. Lee enjoyed the joke, and laughed
heartily at the darkey's wit.

a Tough story.


There IS an alligator farm on the
Wekiva river, in Florida. says the St.
Louis GlObe-D Democrat. Its owner is Steve
Melton. Lately several loads OF pine
knots have been delivered there, and some
wonder has been expressed as 10 what
use Melton would put them Said he;

BIoomers Cut According to Law.

The New Orleans Pickayune says: "The
new woman is having hard time with
her bifurcated garments in the west. A
police judge who has undertaken to define
the situation and decide how far she may
go in adopting the garb of a man says
that she may wear boomers, provided
they are cut full. Otherwise they don't
go. In San Francisco there is an ordi-
nance that prohibits any one from APP
pearing on the street in any dress not
belonging to his or her sex, and a young
woman was arrested for riding on a
wheel in knickerbockers. The judge held
that knickerbockers were garments that
belonged exclusively to the male sex, and
he intended to preserve them for its ex-
elusive use if it could be done by law.
He intimated that had the garments
worn by the young lady been a little more
bouffant they would have passed muster
as boomers, but he laid it down as an
unalterable principle that boomers, in
the eyes of the law, must bag at the
knees. This is a very important prece-
dent. 1t shows that the new woman is
to have new troubles with her clothes and
is to be held strictly amendable to the
law, as eXpounded in police courts The
supreme court itself would not have dar-
ed to suggest another frill to the old
woman.

An Elk snxed Him.

A curious story of adventure comes from
Montana, says the San Francisco Chron-
lcle. While freight train was lying over
at small station the engineer borrowed
a shotgun and started out for a short
hunt. He was about returning to his train
when COW made her appearance. Before
he realized there was any danger the ami
mai made rush at him, and he ran with
all his speed. But the COW was the bet
ter racer, and in few minutes caught him
by his clothing, splitting his coat from
waist to collar, and tossing him into the
air Getting to his feet as quickly as
possible, he lodged behind tree, and
then, to his dismay, found that the gun
barrel was bent SO as to be useless.
The next ten minutes were very lively
ones. The COW chased the engineer round
and round the tree, and when he got a
chance to hit her with the gun-barrel it
only seemed to enrage her the more 1t
was only question of time when he would
succumb TO fatigue, but a diversion oc-
CURED that saved his life An angry snort
was heard, and a big elk appeared on
the scene, head down, and prepared for
fight. The COW was so mad by this time
that she was ready for anything, and in
moment the two animals dashed at
each other. The engineer watched the
combat for few moments until prudence
suggested that he should make a retreat
while he could. He regained the train
in safety, and never knew the outcome of
the battle, but the presumption is that
the elk was the victor.

sam Thomas New Bond Issue.

When Gen Samuel Thomas took hold
of the united branches of the East Ten
nessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad,
says the New York Press, it became nee
essary to issue large amount of bonds
of the new company. OF course these
had TO bear the signature of the presi-
dent. The general was never overload
of signing his name, and ii seemed out
of the question for him to affix his auto
graph to 1,O00 or more bonds. He, there
fore, ordered his secretary to procure a
rubber stamp for that purpose and set to
work. Everything rolled along smoothly
until a purchaser made objection. He
could not make out the signature, and
questioned the genuineness of his bonds
"Oh, they are all right" the general
explained. THE signature is mine"
.'Will you please read it?' said the
other.
For the first time in his life Gen.
Thomas was floored He could make
neither head nor tail of it. At last, turn
ing the bond bottom side up he found the
secretary had inverted the stamp. This
led to an examination, which showed
that more than half the bonds had been
stamped in the same way They were
called in and destroyed, and the new is
sue bore the genuine signature of the
president, made with pen after days
and nights of labor.

NIakeshIft LeGisIntion.

The Indications are that the republicans
intend to try makeshift legislation for
the troubles from which the treasury suff-
ers. To their makeshift legislation in the
past is due the very troubles they would
now like to get nd OF. The legislation that
authorized the purchase OF silver bullion
with treasury notes was makeshift legis-
lation. The republicans were hard pressed
by the silverites in their own party, and to
satisfy them they made a dangerous con-
cession 10 silyer-a concession that has
been prolific Of evils.
According to the Washington dispatches
they now propose 10 issue short-time
notes, bearing a low rate Of interest.
which may be used to supply any de-
fcieney there may be in the revenue.
They say they believe gold is Withdrawn
from the treasury because there is
treasury deficiency. Why they entertain
such a belief they do not say. The coun-
try would like TO know the reasons for
their belief There is ground for sus-
picion that they have no reasons, but
take that view simply because they are
Presidents position is the right one.
namely, that in order to keep up the
gold reserve without resorting to bond is
sues. the greenbacks and treasury notes
must be cancelled.
a Washington dispatch to the Herald
says that the short term interest bearing
notes which the republicans purpose to
issue Will be exchanged for greenbacks
and treasury notes and that these latter
notes, when once the treasury obtains con-
troll of them. will not be reissued. If this
is a correct statement, the republicans
practically concede that the position of the
President is correct. The taking of the
greenbacks ana treasury notes out of the
circulation and putting them in the re-
serve would have very nearly the same
effect as the cancelling of them.
Its absolutely necessary that there shall
be financial legislation of some sort, and
it would not be at all surprising if the
ideas of the administration should be the
basis of whatever financial legislation
there may be. The republicans don't like
to appear to accept any suggestions from
the administration, and therefore will
shun, to as great an extent as they pos
sibly can, any appearance of doing so.
1t would be much wiser, however, for
them to frankly admit that the remedy
suggested by the administration is the
only one that promises to give the treas
ury permanent relief

The Uruan incident, which may play

inception in a few drinks of whisky. A
squad of Venezuelan soldiers went on a
spree one night and crossed a river which
they had no right to cross. and did things
on the other side that they should not
have done. However, as the Monroe doc
trine does not cover jags, the chances are
that the soldiers will have to pay for

other day. A prominent society woman.
wife of millionaire, sent the pianist an
offer of $4,000 to play for the entertain

certain evening. She never dreamed that
he would not accept. So certain was she
that he would play that she issued her in
vtations without waiting for his accept
ance. But his reply was a refusal, short
and TO the point 1t said merely that her
kind offer was declined because he played
