TOLD OF WOLSELEY.
But This Sort of Story is a Good Deal
 More American Than English.

But This Sort of Story is a Good Deal
 More American Than English.
 A story is told of Lord Wolseley which presents the commander-in-chief in rather novel light. It dates from the first Soudan campaign, and is re- lated by a non n-commissioned oftlcec, named Nourse. At Korti, Nourse went into the postoffice to look for some let ters. The postmaster was native, and not much used to handwriting. lie made superficial examination of big pile of leters and papers, and said there was nothing for the applicant. Nourse asked to see the pile of letters, and while he was looking them over man with nothing to designate his rank came into the office. He took in the situation at a glance. Let's clear this thing out" he said They jumned on the counter and proceeded to 'clear it out by first bundling out the post master. Then they began careful ex- amlnation of the postoffice. and found 1t congested with mails for the army. They searched every nook and cranny, throwing the letters for each regiment into a different pile and heaping up all the newspapers in the center of the room. Then they went through each pile and separated it into companies. Before night every letter was in camp and distributed, and the next day the papers were out. Nourse did not know the name of his companion in the benevolent deed and when he asked, the answer was They call me Charlie" Some time after Nourse found it nec- essary to see the commandant. and, sit ting near the tent to which Ee had been directed, he saw his companion of the postoffice. Hello, Charlie!" he cried. I'm looking for the con7mandant Where shall I find him?" Well" said Charlie, you won't have to look far. Pm the commandant. Come inside and have bit to eat and drink'' It was Lord Wolseley.-St James Gazette.

From the ad- vance sale of tickets for this game the indications are that the crowd Will be a record one.

COMING GREAT SHOW
Ortho New Haven Poultry Assooint

Oftho New Haven Poultry Association.
 The New Haven Poultry association
 which vii hold a big show at new Music hall December 27 to 31. It is ex- pected that it will give an exhibition that will surpass all previous shows. Nearly thousand dollars will be of- fered in regular and special premiums.
 It is expected that the premium list will be issued within few days, and all interested will apply in person or by letter to w. R. Kirkwood, the secretary for a copy. D. A. Todd is president of the society. Wooster P Ensign, A. c. AgneW and w, A. Pease are vice presi- dents and D. l., Jones treasurer. With
 such able, willing and wideawake men for officers and with about thirty of the
 prominent poultry fanciers of New Ha- ven and vicinity to back them up there is surety that the New Haven show will be the banner poultry show of New England. All they will need
 will be the patronage and encour-
 agement of the New Haven admirers of fine poultry, of whom there are hosts. It Is also expected that there will be cat show connected with the exhibit which of course interests the
 ladies. A large number of the prettiest, the noblest and most aristocratic of the feline race in this city and state will
 grace the occasion with their newest coats and finest furs, all ambitious and
 expecting to wear the "blue ribbon"
 E. P. Jordan of West Haven, form
 CT prominent officer of the society and former Church street clothing mer-
 chant, is, as his many friends will be glad to know, in good health again and he will lend his valuable efforts to pro-
 mote the success of the exhibition. An interesting feat in this connection is that MT. Jordan has just sent a coop of his renowned barred Plymouth Rocks to Captain N F. Perkins of St. CroiE, Danish West Indies. A few years ago MT. Jordan sent the same gentleman some eggs from which the captain | raised some fine specimens. One of the roosters weighed twelve pounds and was famed all over the island, and so much admired that the darkies adored him as something wonderful and super stitiously refrained from laying violent hands upon him. The bird was wide ly known as "old Jordan" and was
 given quite a palatial coop to dwell

Professor Max Muller tells char
acteristic story Of Lord Macaulay in
his Literary Recollections" in Cos
mopoiis. The advisability of pro vid-
ing for the instruction in Sanskrit
of English youths destined for serv-
ice in India was a debated question,
and Macaulay sent for Professor
Muller, who was an advocate of such
instruction, in order to hear what he
had to say in it's support. The in
terview lasted an hour, during which
the professor found it impossible to
get in a word edgewise against the
food OF arguments against his posi-
ton which poured from the histo-
rian's lips. When the harangue was
ended, he was dismissed with thanks
for the valuable information he had
impaired.
