Stuck to Ills Lines.

An actor, while playing in small village, was representing the part o{ a persecuted guardian of an orphan heir. Of course the pursuers are on his track and bent on killing him in order to secure the inheritance. For long time he escapes; at length he is seized and thrown into room, the three doors of which are locked and bolted. On recovering himself he runs to one door and shakes 1t. .tLockedm he cries. He then runs to the second. "Loeked" He runs to the third, which opens readily at the first effort. The actor shuts it again with bang and then exclaims in tone of yet deeper despair: "Lockedl' Thundering ap- plause London Tit-Bit

The American Field says that red fox was trapped in oakwoods ceme- tery, Chicago, recently. The fox was savage and attempted to bite its cap tor. It was chloroforlned and the pres ident of the cemetery, Y. NJ. Farwell, is having the hide cured and the head mounted. Numerous kinds of game may be killed in Chicago. Wild ducks are shot in the marshes and muskratS are trapped for their fur. Mink tracks are followed by fur eatchers, and traps are set along the water front for those animals. Every two or three weeks the sporssmen's papers tell of game seen in Chicago quail peacefully feeding on vacant lots, wildcats taking refuge in the thickets, aud shrilSes and jays along the trails leading throueh the parln.

A Matrimonial Magistrate.

All Gretna Green justices are not as frank as is E. c. Roberts, of Lapeer, Mich. Squire Roberts-he is justice of the peace, according to his stationery makes a most candid bid for matri- monial fees. His letterheads are in themselves studies in open-faced hones- ty of declaration, and if there is any yearning couple in the neighborhood of Lapper that couple certainly yearns without cause. for the justice makes plain proclamation of his purpose. A letterhead of his, sent hither by an ad- mirer of his way of announcing himself, is decorated with a half-tone portrait of the ''jedge," a soldierly- looking fel- low who probably used to be an auction eer, and under the cut is the designa- ton: "The original and only exclusive ly matrimonial magistrate Close be- side and printed in cunning little letters is this alluring statement: "Office at the elevator or at the First national bank parlors, or wherever most con- yenient to swains," and below, further assertion is: GA fine line of high-grade bridesmaids and groomsmen constant ly on hand to assist at the services. !" Here are some other selection from this most remarkable letterhead:
 Marriages solemnized promptly, ac- curately and eloquently. Plain cere- mony-legal fee; osculation extra"
 ''Elopements speciality Night calls answered without extra charge Con- sultation free.'
 "N. B. My anti-blushine warranted effective and will Tot iniure the most delicate complexion"

Why sawbones probcd in vaia.

A veteran of the battle of Vicksburg told the following story as he sat in the corridor of the Ebbitt house: Sur geons were scarce in our regiment, just after the fight was ended, and young practitioners who afterward became more or less famous in the medical world were doing as well as they could amid the embarrassing surroundings. A young soldier right next to me had been shot through the leg. One of the doctors came to him and began probing for the bullet. He worked for half an hour, and at length the wounded man said:
 Tell me how much longer are you going to gouge on that leg"
 Why, want to probe until l find the bullet replied the doctor. If l don't find it you will dic.'
 Why, you blasted idiot, there is the bullet in the base of that tree rejoined the injured man. As soon as you ban dage up my injured leg am going to carve 1t out and save it for q souvenir
 The bullet had gone clear through the fellows leg and lodged in the tree be- hind him.

Confederate Soldiers Set Aside.

Gen. Wheeler has been a member of congress continuously for many years, but his term will expire on March 4 next, and he will then retire to private life. He was not renominated last year, although he has been q good representa- tive. His retirement emphasizes the fact that there is new generation in the south which is compelling recogni- ton. The new generation has already retired Senators Wade Hampton and Nj. c. Butler, of South Carolina, both of them confederate generals; and also Senator Matt. ". Ransom, of North Caro- lima, who fought brilliantly for the con- federaey. Gen. Eppa Hunton, of Yir- ginia, was retired from the senate to make room for a man of the new genera tion. From every southern state dur ing the past six. years new men, have been sent to the senate and house of representatives, thus gradually retiring the men who were prominent in the confederate armies.

How to Cure n Baiisy Horse.

Congressman Jim Tawney, of Minne- sota, says that he knows a sure cure for a ballsy horse. He learned it in Winona from farmer of great experience. A big dray was backed up against the sidewalk and a dozen or more people were watching the unloading of a heavy box. Along came a rusty old fellow with a large cane and a very storm beaten plug hat.
 'Whatl What! A ballSy horse, ehi" he chattered to himself as he took in the situation. No one answered him, and he asked of,a bystander:
 Have the eNpedients been resorted top

faithful Wesleyan, and so on with the Presbyterians and other denominations
 Naturally, this partisan was a rousta- bout, with the advantage of no religious training. During the progress of his canvass for delegates, this political worker went to pray with out previous knowledge of the theolegi- cal preference of the brethren.
 It was a gathering of farmers, though, and he trusted to luck. He had never been an active participant in church e7l- crcises, but on this occasion he outdid himself. Possessed of good voice, he sang with such fervor and zeal that the leader mistoolS him for professor and called upon him to offer prayer
 It was sumner, but remembering that he was in the midst of farmers, he tumbled upon his knees and began d petition for their welfare. He prayed that they might be blessed with barrels of corn, barrels ef potatoes. barrels of wheat, and so on, until he exhausted his vocabulary. He floundered, but at cnce remembered another item, and with renewed emphasis exclaimed:
 "oh, Lord, 1t is humbly petitioned that Thou wilt give them barrels of pepper" but suddenly remembering the disproportion of this, he exelaimed:
 "The deuce, no! That's too much pep per"
 The startled group about him rose en masse. The politician headed for the door, and disappeared in the late tNi- light

Why Reaureaard DtstiISed Davis.
 There were % lieutenant generals in the confederate army from beginning to end. Gen. Longstreet was the senior when the war closed, and Gen. Ewell came next. Of the 22 there is still living Longstreet, Hampton, Wheeler and BucSner. Of the five full generals made late in 1861 none remain. Beauregard was the first general officer ever nomi- mated and commissioned under the con federate government, and should have the ordinary military usages, but the act creating the military esta blishment of the confederate states provided that officers from the United States army, who might accept confederate commis- sions, should take rank according to the grade they held in the United States army when their resignations were ac- cepted, This nude Gen. Cooper. who was adjutant general of the United States army when he resigned the sen for general officer of the confederacy and placed Gen. Lee (who only became a full colonel about three months be- fore his resignation) and Gen. Beaure- gard (who was major of engineers when he went south) at the bottom of the list. Gen. Beauregard took the ground that as he was the first brigadier general the confederate states ever com missioned, and was holding that posi- ton when at least one of the officers promoted over his head was yet in the United States army, he should have been the senior general. And the per sistence with which he unnvailingly in- sisted upon what he believed was his by right, induced the first difference of opinion which soon grew into breeeh that was irreconcilable between him and President Davis.

lspecIal washlngton Letter l

It is related of an ardent partisan of Congressman Rem, of Nebraska, wno lost sleep for weeks prior to Kem's nomination, that he made it his re- ligious duty to fall in with the senti- ment of every community in which he found himself. If the Baptist predomi- mated he became a strong advocate of immersion as means for the remission
 of sins; with the Methodists he was a
