Barton Potts. Here the warm. soft
salty breezes seemed to bring new lease
of life to the beloved invalid, though
it was plain to one and all she could
never be herself again. Scroggs, her
kinsman son-in-law, was rapidly mend
ing and eagerly casting about for en-
ployment. Floyd, restored to duty with
out trial, was serving patient y and
faithfully with his regiment in Texas,
bent evidently on making good his
words. The two events which seemed
TO bring general cheer and rejoicing
to the household were those which three
months before would have been prompt

one was the weekly letter from troop

whose profession was not to be disguised
because he was in ''cits'." On the &C.
casion of his first appearance in that
garb Miss Walton did him the honor to
say: "Ah never did like you, but All
do think those clothes wuhse than the
Others" This was rather hard, be-
cause, as the spring came on, Lambert's
lot at the barracks was not as pleasant
as it might have been, and his COM
fort consisted in running over to see
how Madam Walton was doing.
Cram and his battery, with Warine,
Pierce. and all, had been ordered away.
and then for the first time Lambert
realized, what his regimental comrades
had marked for months, that he pre-
ferred the companionship of the bat
terry men to that of the men who wore
the bugle, the badge of the infantry in
those ~benighted days. Old Brax con-

life, and sought a long leave. Maj.

master took command of Maj. Minor.
1t had neither been forgiven nor forgot
ten by these staff officials that Lam
bert had been equally outspoken in de-
Tense of Close and denunciation of his
accusers, and the further fact that he
preferred to spend his leisure hours
with his undergraduates of the artil-
lery rather than his uncongenial breth-
rem of the -teenth gave the offended
ones abundant material to work on.
Minor was weakling-a bureau officer
during the war days, man who could
muster and disburse without a flaw,
but never set squadron in the field
without a "fuke." Lambert was a cap
ltal drill-master and tactici9n, and ''G''
company, under his instruction, was
rapidly overhauling every other in the
regiment, even those of Kinsey and
Lively, the two real soldiers among the
captains. Minor hated the sight of a
page of tactics, and never even held
dress parade. Lambert had clear,
ringing voice, and Minor couldn't make
himself heard. One morning the Or
derby came to Lambert at company drill
with 1.-THE majors compliments, and
please to take company G. outside the
garrison, or make less noise" It was
the adjutant's doing, as things turned
out afterwards, but it angered Lambert
against the commander.

FOR POOR SPOILERS.

Consolation for Those Who Are Weak In
Orthography.
A perfect mastery of photography is
not essential to goodness of heart or
strength of intellect, but it is eminently
desirable, nevertheless, and all young
people should be taught so to regard it.
And yet, if man is one of the llnfortu-
rates who possesses no spelling gift,
it may not be wrong for him to console
himself with the knowledge that he is
by no means alone in his infirmity.
Editors, of all, men, know that weak
ness of that kind may consist with
much learning and an excellent Eng
fish style. Some of their favorite con-
tributors - schooQ-teachers, professors
and even college presidents-are given
to expressing their most orig inal
thoughts in equally original orthog-
raphy. In part this may be due to
hasty writing, but when the same word
is misspelled in the same ingenious
way throughout an entire manuscript
some less charitable explanation is
forced upon the reader.
In old times, as is we'll known, the
most scholarly men spelled very much
as they pleased. DR.. Samuel johnson
was perhaps the frst-certainly he was
among the first-to ''setorthography on
a sure footing and it is the more sur
prising, therefore, to find him one of
the worst offenders.
DR.. Hill, in his edition of DR.. John
sons letters, remarks upon this singu-
lar fact, and cites a long list of exam
pies, worthy of a very dull schoolboy:
"Persusnce," II cannot butt" 'happy-
est,' 'Fryday," ''pamfets," invent
ter ''barel," Acknowledgement" dds
tresful,'' PLYMOUTH" imbecil]ity,"
''enervaiting," 'devide," ''ilness."
We quote these, not that any youth
full reader should excuse his own igno-
rance by an appeal to the great lexi-
cographer's example, but as curious
instance of human fralty, and as a
possible comfort to elderly scholars
from whom nature has withheld an
photographed memory. - Youths
