about dark the corporal of the guard

soon asleep and never turned over

the guard soon missed Gregory and
come round to see John but he was
too drunk to revive and another man
was sent to take bis place and the
affair was kept from Gen. Jones, or
he might have had poor long John
court martialed and shot. I fter that
the boys had a good joke on John,
they would laugh and tell him he
might be very good soldier but he
would not do to guard s. horse.

one other story about guarding

The surrender occurred in the morn

woods nearby and all peace and quiet
during the evening. Col. w. b.
Allison of the 18th Regiment also
rode black stallion but not as fine
a horse as that of Gen. Jones. About
night the adjutant came to me and
said Col. Allison wanted a guard to
guard his horse, my brother j. L.
Harris was member Of my company
and 1 told him he was the next man
on guard and that Col. Allison want

his reply was oil be d--n if DO

as big a man as the c,lonel, this
thing of guarding stud horses is over
with me- and sure enough it was,
so the colonel didn't say anything
for he knew he was beaten and there
were no more guards called for from
that day to this.

London, Jan. 25.-An extraordinary
gazette publishes an order in council,
that it is expected that all persons uA6iN
the present occasion, the death of her
late majesty of blessed and glorious mem
DRY, will put themselves into deepest
mourning"
Another order-n-council substitutes

Victoria. 1t also inserts Our glorious
Queen, Alexandra; George, Duke of

The instruction that the Duke of York
is to be named in the prayer book Duke
of Cornwall" seems to throw light upon
the muchdebated question of the heir APP
parents title. 1t was supposed that
the title prince of Wales
which belongs only to son
born of the King would be con-
ferred upon the Duke of York, by royal
patent: but the gazette announcement
seems to indicate that this will not be
done and that the Duke of York will

The crusade against the great and
growing evil of intemperance in France
is taking some interesting forms, says a
Paris correspondent. For instance, the
colonel of the Seventeen regiment of the

months, and the companies will be
classed according to the number of pun
ishments inflicted for drunkenness. The
most sober men will be rewarded with
