SOFT SOAP.

While travelling through southern
Minnesota last spring just after war
had been declared between the U. S. and
Spain, stopped over night at place
called Marshall. In the evening I
strayed into Jim Williams hardware
store where found a dozen or more
G. A. R. men discussing the situation.
Their conversation soon turned to re-
bellion "reminiscences, and Colonel Case,
Lieut.. Harrington, Maj. Kennedy, and
Capt. Addison had each described some
incident of personal experience when
"Capt." Webster said:
speaking of foraging reminds me of
the time we were camped at Murfrees-
boro fifty or sixty miles southeast of
Nashville. Some of the boys had been
out foraging one night and secured
lot of honey. The honey was strained
into large iron kettle and suspend
ed from the ridge-pole of one OF the
tents about six feet above the ground.
Early next morning the planter came
into camp, went to headquarters, claim

ed to be union sympathiZer, and de-
manded that his goods be restored to
him. "Fighting Joe" Mower was in
command and told the planter he didn't
think any of his boys would do so
mean a thing as steal honey, but he
would investigate. So he detailed a
sergeant and three men to search the
camp, and he and the planter accompa-
MED them. When they came to the
tent with the iron kettle hanging in it
the General mounted stool, peered in
to the kettle, put his finger into the
contents and tasted it. Then while
splitting and coughing and wiping his
mouth he managed to exclaim D.

camp but found no honey. That even

MAZAS.

The following on the famous Paris.
ian prison is from an article in the Lon
don Daily Telegraph by can Old Paris.
ian:"
The official designation of the grim
building was ola Maison d Arret Gel.
lulaire." 1t was, however, built on the
Boulevard MaZas, so named after Ma
yoleon's valiant colonel, in virtue of an
order of the Emperor himself, issued
on the first anniversary of Austerlitz.
A good name will stick as tightly as a
bad one, no matter whether the object
upon which it is bestowed be human
being, dog, or public monument;
and so, in spite of the remOnstrances
of the family or the deceased warrior,
the first prison built on the cellular
system in France became "Mazas."
And although the boulevard on which
it stood until recently was re-christened
as long as nineteen years ago, "Mazas"
remained Mazas, and will go down to
history under that name.
The story of "Mazas" contains much
more curious feature than that. Like
all attempted reforms, the cellular
system had its champions and oppo-
nents. The latter maintained through
thick and thin that it was barbarOus,
cruel, and degrading to humanity. AL
exandre Dumas the younger, when a
boy, refused to have some leeches put
on, until that magnificent creature, his
father, tried the experiment on his own
arm. The advocates of the cellular
