German Joke.

The Germans have an odd character

for many absurd and ludicrOus things.
whenever anything particularly striped
or whimsical happens it is straightway
attributed 20 the baron. Consequently
many amusing stories are related OF the
baron. lust as I'm this country all kinds
OF mistakes have been heaped upon the
shoulders OF the late MT Stetson. the
theatrical man. At one time the baron
went To Venice. and seeing the pigeons
on ST. Mark paused in wonder. and began
% count them. He was getting on nicely
with the calculation when some one tap
ped him on the shoulder:
Here. you.' said the stern-faced bri-
Sand. are you counting those pigeons?'
u was replied the baron. humbly.
VERY well, you have 10 pay me one Ira
for every pigeon YOU counted"
IF that IS the law. here are forty lire.
responded the baron. counting out the
money.
The brieand looked over II carefully
and took his departure. Then the baron
became CONFUSED with merriment and
shook his fists boisterously after the re-
treating figure.
Fool, idiot" he exclaimed "I gave
you forty lire ana counted 100 pigeons. -

Heroic Young Soldier.

To the Editor OF The Times
Sr,-You relate an interesting occur
renee in Florida OF TWO friends. one Of
whom had been convicted OF a smau or
fence. and went to prison. when the
other voluntarily came forward ana ac-
cused himself. saying that ne was the
guilty one, and was ready To receive the
punishment, ana that his friend was IN

not Crime-sCarcely "a misdemeanOr-
and the punishment slight. Let me ASK
your attention TO u more interesting and
a very remarkable event which occurred
during our civil war. when young Zen
nessee soldier, Samuel Davis. was sent
IN 1868 by his commanding officer within
tho euemys lines to procure Information
OF their designs and movements.
Among other things. he obtained a
package OF papers from the headquarters
of the commanding general, and started
TO reioiu his regiment. but was captured
and taken TO the general, VINO, OF course.
could only send him before court mar
tial. and he was tried and sentenced TO
be hung as a spy. although he wore his
Confederate uniform, and was not a spy,
but a scout. seeking information III the
enemys country. and this Is lawful anu
allowable by the rules OF war. IL Is not
yet known how he obtained those papers.
but 1t is generally believed That no per
suaded or brbed negro boy TO steai
them from the generals headquarters.
II seems that General Dodge was at
tracted by the appearance and manners
OF this young soldier, and was anxious 10
save him. and onered him life ana no
crty n ne would reveal the name or MS
informant, but this heroic boy me was

ODD declared that his word had been
pledeed And even when on the scafold
and the offer was repeated and ne was
urged to accept deiverance, he persist
emily refused 70 DO so at the price OF
truth and honor and thus Samuel DAVIS
passed into history as one OF the most
devoted and msgnanimous heroes on rec
ord Greater love hath no man than that
he will give his life for his friend. But
this bow may almost be said TO nave
given his life for his enemy. for we KNOW
that i'm those days the life OF negro was
not considered Of much value. recoi-
lect that down here on the Peninsula IN
1894 word came from our brigadier TO
bring him no negro prisoners.
II NAV perhaps add to our interest IN
the monument which his comrades ana
friends propose 10 erect TO his memory
when we recall the singular fact that II

Almost the last words OF our young
hero. after sending messages or love to
