Gen. Nichols, of Louisiana, COM
1randed brigade of infantry during
the valley compaigu in Virginia,
which so immortalized the name of
Stonewall Jackson. In one of the three
famous victories over Banks, Milroy
and Shields, the Louisiana brigade bore
a conspicuous part, and it's gallant
commander was carried from the field,
mortally wounded, as every one sup
posed. By good nursing and skillful
surgery the life of the general was
saved, and his state is proud of him to-
day. He left an arm and a leg on the
battle field, and lost one of his eyes.
He wears an artificial leg on one side
of his body and an arm on the opposite.
The pluck which enabled him to with
stand these terrible wounds, and to
which he is indebted for his life, per-

sticks to him yet; and he is one of the
most iovial of men, enjoying a good
joke as mich as anybody. He tells this
on himself:
When c.invassing for governor, he
was invited by a lady who knew of his
loss of limbs to make her house his
home, and he accepted. She ordered
her manservant, who knew nothing of
the generals misfortune. to see that
he was comfortably put to bed. The
darly felt proud of the honor of serv-
ing a distinguished general and the
next governor, and the general was in
clined to be communicative, which de-
lighted the negro very much, and made
him feel at home with his guest. When
he took the generals arm off and laid
it on the table, he commenced to ex-
press great sympathy. saying: 1T
sho' is bad for man to lose his arm
dat erway! An de Yankees done dis,
did dey?" When the general told him
to take his leg off. the negro thought
ne was joking, but went at it in a bust
ness-like way, though he was almost
ready to shed tears of sympathy this
time. Placing the leg on the table by
the side of the arm, sand looking at
the general, said: "Umph! leg off on
one side, an arm off on t'other. Dat
is too bad, to cut man up in dat sort
of way!" The general saw his oppor-
tunity for a little fun had come. so.
leaning his body forward, said: Come
now, take my head off" But the negro
was rone.-Nashvilie American.

POSTAL BANKS POPULAR.

England to Reduce Interest Rate Because
of the Growth of Deposits.
LONDON, Nov. 3.-The English gov
ernment has been moved by the phe-
nomenal increase in the deposits at the
post Office savings banks, which show
a growth this year of some $50. 900, 900
over the preceding II months, to de-
eide upon the lowering of the rate Of
interest which, it is to be feared, will
have tendency to discourage thrift
among the poor, for whose benefit
these banks were established. The
authorities do not ascribe the astound-
ing increase in the number of deposits
to any corresponding growth of pros
perity, but to the fact that well-to-do
and even rich people are now using the
savings banks for the purpose of OBJ
tanning for their deposits rate of in
terest, which, in the existing condition
of the money market, they could not
possibly Get at any ordinary bank.
