Mahone's Army Cow.

When the general first entered the
southern army, he was an almost hope
less dyspeptic. He had suffered for many
years the uncertain and untimely effects
Of that exasperating malady. He thought
he should have fresh milk every day in
the field, for it had formed a part of his
daily diet at home, so he took a cow in
to the army and carried the beast with
him all through the war. General Ma
hone often related the annoyances the
COW caused him. Ono time General Lee
came to him after the cow had been in
the way and said, General, you will
lave to leave that COW behind. - II can
not do it, sir, " Malone replied. eff we
cannot get along with the COW, | will
have to resign. So the COW remained,
and she was actually at General Ma
homes camp on that memorable day
when Lee surrendered to Grant at APP
pomattox.
General Malone took the animal home
to Petersburg afterward. The general
was noted also in the army for the COM
plete household outfit he carried. With
cooking utensils he was particularly
well supplied, and no afterward often
boosted that he lived just as we'll III the
army as he lived later in Washington.
He had supplied his camp wagons with
a full outfit of bedding and household
and though the war was
a perpetual moving day" for him no
often said thai ( he had another war to

War Policy.
The origin Of the word lingo is in.
teresting at this time, when one is con-
fronted with it 80 often. At the time Of
the close Of the Russo Turkish war,
which, as eli readers of history know.
terminated 30 disastrously for the Turks
and caused feeling Of apprehension in
England that the Russians were bent
on taking Constantinople and the ulti-
mate Acknowledgement Of the Turkish en-
pire, q change which could not be toler-
vted. the public feeling found expression
in England upon the stage in panto-
mines and in the music halls by numer-
GUS patriotic songs Que Of these is aa
follows:
The dogs Of war are loose and the rugged
Russian bear,
Full bent ON blood and robbery, has crawled
out Of his lair.

Earl of Beaconsfleld. who was in pow
