1t Is said that General Crlttenden
used to tell with great glee a story of
the reply once made to him by his son
then little boy OF eight or nine years.
A day or two after the battle OF Chiclia-
manga the little fellow went into camp.
The General rode during the battle Il
horse which went by the name OF John
Jay. a great favOrlte with his small
son. The child showed great delight
ut seeing his father again, but at last.
In the midst of a vigorous hug, he SAX.
ed suddenly: Papa, where is John
Jay" "Oh," said his father, gravely,
''yOur horse behaved very badly during
the fight; he insisted, like coward, on
taking me to the rear" The boy looked
at him searchIngly for an instant
Then his eyes cleaned. and he held
up remOnstrant little finger, pointing
It at his parent. Papa" said he. &c.

The negroes Of the West Indies use
the great toe constantly In climbing.
Several years ago, while spending some
time ut one Of the famous resorts In in.
maica, l had an opportunity to observe
the skill with which the black women,
who do great part Of the mental labor,
carried stone, mortar ana other build
Ing materials on their heads to the top
OF Il fve-stOry tower, In u part Of the
hotel not then finished.
Much of the une"ring accuracy with
which they (wOmen ana 6lrls) chased
each other up and down the long lad
ders. with heavy loads skillfully poised
on their wOOlly pates, was due to the
tirmness with which they grasped each
rung Of the ladders with the great toe.
They did not place the ball or the hOl-
low of the foot on the rung, but tho
groove mt the juncture of the great toe
with the body OF the foot. and they held
fast by making the back Of the other
toes afford the other gripping surface.
In much the same way the Abyssinian
native cavalry grasp the stirrup. And
I have seen One-armed SantO Do
mingan black, astride the near OK In a
wheel yoke, guiding lead mule with
rein held between his great and Sec
Ond toes, while his only arm was de-
voted to cracking his Transfers whip.

ON GENERAL WHEELER.
Joke of a Country school Boy at His

drummer, "and l am not swearing to the
one | heard the other day on General Joe
Wheeler in Alabama, but it is just as good
as If | did swear to it, so what's the differ

you all know is only a boys size, and not
big boy at that, had in the course of his
travels on one of his electioneering tours,
Drought up in remote school house where
OF course, he was called upon to make few
remarks 10 the scholars. This he did in his
best style, and when he had finished he
stood by the teacher while that worthy said
d few things, among them that time-worn
suggestion TO the effect that when the boys
OF the school grew up they, too might be
congressman, like General Wheeler such
are the wonderful possibilities of this great
and glorious country of ours.
AT this point a long good-natured gang
nng gaWk of boy, about fourteen wears
old and about fourteen feet tall, stuck up
MS hand, grinning sheepiShly the mean
while.
" Me. too?' he inquired
Certainly. Henry replied the teacher
assuringly, Just much you as any other
boy

The Careful Servant.

From the Detroit Free Press.
One of the Michigan officers who was at
the front during the brief war had with
him colorei attendant, who was as proud
of his place as though he were command
er-in-chief, and whose ideas of military
discipline were as rigid as those of the
verest martinez. Owing especially to the
thieving proclivties of some of the Cuban
hangers-on, ne was under strict command
not to let anything go from the officer 5
tent without a personal order from him
One evening, as the officer and General
Wheeler met some distance from the camp,
the general said, with a smack of his lips:
Il hear sir that you received some very
fine branded peaches from home"
Yes, general, they're prime. and I'm
going to send you some. Meantime you
had better stop at my tent on the way in
and have my man give you can"
When the officer reached his quarters he
was approached by his attendant with an
elaborate salute and: Did you tell dat
Gen'l Wheelah, cah, dat he could call heah.
sab, and procu a can OBJ dem branded
peaches, sah?'
Yes. OF course you gave them to him?
No sah," with another athletic salute;

to me, sab. an if he dida' had no ohdah he
