A Lively Story About Some Southern
Generals.
Strange, is it not, that Jackson, like
Sherman, should have been considered
"crazy" the. first year of the war. In
deed before the war so eccentric was he
that he was called "Crazy Jack" at the
Virginia military institute. Nobody
seemed to understand him. But so it
has ever been and ever will be. When
we ordinary mortals can't comprehend
a genius, we get even with him by call
ing him crazy.
remember well how uneasy some of
the confederate generals were when
placed under Jackson's command early
in 1862. Ewell didn't like it and "DicS"
Taylor didn't like it. They were afraid
JacksoF, So, at Taylor's instance, he
dreadful scrape or other. And when
Ewell, with his division, was lying near
Gordonsville in late April, 1862, but SUBJ
ject to Jackson's orders, Ewell and Tay-
lor were anxious to get from under him
either to go down to "Joe" Johnston
ut Yorktown or to have some general
sent to the valley who would rank with
jackson. So, at Taylor's instance, he
was sent to Richmond by Ewell to see
Mr.. Davis, his brother-in-law, and Mr..
Benjamin, then secretary of state, but
recently secretary of war, about get
ting away from Jackson. But while
Taylor was gone Jackson ordered Ewell
to "come a-running" to the valley. The
camp he shad left in the morning at
Swift River gap, on the northwest side
of the Blue Ridge, Ewell occupied that
night. jackson was gone, he knew not
where. The valley campaign had
opened, he was making his strategic
detour back southwest over the Blue
Ridge toward Charlottesville; hence
west by rail past Staunton to Buffalo
gap and thence northwest by long
marches to Mcdowell, where he struck
Milroy. But there we were for few
days at Swift Run gap without hearing
thing of Jackson. Gen. Ewell may
have known where he was, but l doubt
it.
Meanwhile Taylor returned from
Richmond to the old camp near Cor
louisville, to find that Ewell had gone to
jackson in the valley. Taylor was
thunderstruck. One of his commands
happened to be little way out from
camp on the road toward Gordonsville
when Taylor came rafting down the
mountain side in his ambulance. He
nsked me what meant Gen. Ewell's be-
ing ordered to the valley. 1 told him
did not know. He then asked me where
Gen. Jackson was. again had to con-
fess my ignorance, and could only say
that he had broken camp on certain
morning, going with his own division
southwest, no one seemed to know
where, and that Gen. Ewell occupied his
camp that night and had been there
ever since.
"Well,'' said Taylor, this is strange
Nobody at Richmond knows anything
about it. But" he added, there is one
consolation. We won't be under this

a similar article of different color or
smaller size can take the place of the

The game is for two to play. First
place the dogs on the board diagonally,
two at opposite corners, and the third

three dogs and the other the eat. Only
one dog may be moved at time, but
the player may move that one which
best serves his purpose. The object of
the game is to surround the cat so that
she cannot move further. The cat is to
avoid this unpleasant contingency as
long as possible, No two pieces can
occupy the same point at the same
time, nor can one piece displace an
other. There is no question of beat
