General Horace Porter tells the fol

the ten days Of battle through which
we had just passed very little relief,
physical OF mental, had been obtained,
but there was one stad officer, Colonel
B., who often came as bearer of
messages to our headquarters, who al
ways managed 20 console himself with
novel reading and his peculiarity in
this respect became a standing joke
among those who knew him. He went
about with his saddle bags stuffed full
Of thrilling romancos, and was seen sew
eral times sitting on his horse, under a
brisk fire, poring over the last pages Of
an absorbing volume TO reach the de-
nouement Of the plot and evincing n
greater curiosity TO find how the hero
and the heroine We're going 10 be extri-
Gated from the entangled dilemma into
which they had been plunged by the
unsympathetic author than TO learn the
result of the surrounding battle.
One of his peculiaritics was that he
took it for granted that all the people
he met were perfectly familiar with his
line of Literature, and he talked about
nothing but the merits Of the latest
novel; For the last week he had been
dcvouring Victor Hugo's Les Miser-
ables IL was an English translation.
for the officer had no knowledge Of
French. As he was passing house in

his horse, bowed to her with al the
grace of a Chesterfield and endeavored
TO engage her in conversation. Before
he had gone far he took occasion TO re-
mark by the way, have you seen
Lees Miserablcsf' - anglicizing the
pronunciation. Her black oycs snapped
with indignation as She tartly replied:
Don't you talk TO me that way They
are a good deal better than Grant & mis-

often by those who heard it that, for
some time after, its repetition seriously
endangered the colonel's peace Of mind.
