Reliable Sentries.

An officer on picket duty, while
visiting the sentries, came up to a
stout looking Irish recruit, who on
being asked by Jones for his orders
replied as fast as he could speak,
my orders are, sir, if a fire break
out I'm to take me musket and
shoot the nearest policeman.
Jones, in the coolest manner pos
sible suggested that he had made
some mistake. But, no-Pat stuck
to it THAT if a fire broke out he was
to take his musket and shoot the
nearest policeman. Jones, with the
remark, Il pity the policeman, y
walked on.
1t was afterward found the SEN
try's order was, if fire broke out,
he was to fire off his musket and
alarm the nearest policeman.
On another occasion, when the
same officer was going his rounds
and the sentry was asked for his or
ders, his reply was: The divil a

out of my head. London Tele-
