MMad Jacks" Naval Prank.

Captain Percival. Of the navy,
whose portrait has just been pre-
sented to the navy department, died
in 1862. He was known as ssMad
Jack" Percival because Of eccentric
tiles which on many occasions
brought him in conflict with the ma
val authorities. The portrait was
sent by Mrs. William Nicholson, but
who she is the departmest is unable
to discover.
Captain Percival was sent to Mo
rocco with his frigate to bring back
a cargo Of jackasses for the govern
ment, and in order to show his con-
tempt for the employment Of war
vessel for such a mission on entering
New York harbor he ran in all his
guns and placed the head of a jack
ass through each port as the ship
sailed in. The sight of a double
row Of jackasses' heads protruding
from the places where guns were
looked for created a sensation at the
time, and "Mad Jack" narrowly es-
capped a reprimand.

The Tables Neatly Turned.

There is certain brilliant young
lawyer in Brooklyn with reputa-
ton for ability in "rattling'' wit
nesses who had the tables neatly
turned on him in a damage suit the
other day. A prominent physician
testified as to the character of the
injuries sustained by the plaintiff,
and the young LAWYER was seeking
to ridicule his testimony. The ply
stefan had said that the plaintiffs
brain and spinal cord had been in
jured and that the injury to the
brain was manifested by an increas-
ed knee jerk
SsNow, see here, DOCTOR" said the
lawyer, going through a series of
physical contortions, chiefly with
his knees, what does this increased
knee jerk of mine show?"
s'Well," said the doctor slowly,
taking your exhibition Of yourself
before the jury and this knee jerk,
| should say that you were suffering
from serious brain trouble. New

THE WISE CHAPLAIN.

When Representative Hank Smith
of Michigan was student at Adrian
college, one, of his most intimate
chums was young man who after
ward became preacher. Smith was
himself rather frisky youth, but
the then future preacher was fully
his equal in the line of college
pranks. The two met the other day
in the capitol, and Mr.. Smith and
Rev. Charles 3. Wilbur, now Of
Pittsburg, leaned up against one of
the big marble columns and indulg-
ed in "reminiscences.
SCharles has just told me a story
about congressman quoth Mr..
Smith in the midst of their jolly
confab. ct is. about a member Of
the house who once brought his lit
tie son here to Washington with
him. The youth sat by his fathers
side one morning when the chaplain
offered prayer.
Papa, exclaimed the boy, why
doesn't the chaplain pray for the
members Of the houseY
He is too wise a man to do that,
my SON. was the paternal reply. He
is praying for the country ="

BEFORE THE SURRENDER.
General Ives Refusal to Allow His
Soldiers to Dispense.


General E. P. Alexander relates
in The Century these interesting
words of General Lee just before
the surrender. General Alexander
having proposed that the Confeder-
ate soldiers be authorized to dis
perse and report to General John
ston or to the governors of the
states, General Lee asked:
Suppose | were to adopt your
suggestion, how many do you sup
pose would get away?o
General Alexander replied: 81
think two-thirds Of us could get
away. We should be like rabbits
and partridges in the bushes, and
they could not scatter like that to
catch u.s."
sWell," he said, IT have less than
10000 infantry with arms in their
hands. Even if two-thirds Of these
got away it would be too small
force to accomplish any useful re-
suit, either with Johnston or with
the governors of the states. But
few would go to Johnston, for their
homes have been overrun by the en-
envy, and the men will want to go
first and look after their families.
As to any help from Europe, j have
never believed in it. | appreciate
that the surrender of this army is,
indeed, the end Of the Confederacy.
But that result is now inevitable
and must be faced. And as Chris
tan men we have no right to choose
a course from pride or personal feel
ings. We have simply to see what
we can do best for our country and
people. Now, if | should adopt
your suggestion and order this army
to disperse the men, going home
ward, would be under no control
and, moreover, would he without
food. They are already demoralized
by four years Of war and would sup
ply their wants by violence and
plumber. They wculd soon become
little better than Lands Of robbers.
A state of society would result
throughout the south from which it
would require years to recover The
enemy's cavalry, too. would pursue
to catch at least the general officers
and would harass and devastate sec
tions that otherwise they will never
visit. Moreover" he said, "as to
myself, ] am too old to go to bush
whacking, and even if it were right
to order the army to disperse the
only course for me to pursue would
be to surrender myself to General
Grant But" he added, 81 can tell
you for your comfort that Grant
will not demand an unconditional
surrender He will give US honora-
bic and liberal terms, simply requir-
ing us not to take up arms again I'M
til exchanged" He then went on
to say that he was in correspondence
with Grant and expected to meet
him in our rear at 10 a. m, when
he would accept the terms that had
been indicated.

The New centerpieces.

Centerpieces and doilies are most
ly lace trimmed this season, not
with renaissance lace, however, as
has been the case now these many
seasons. Some very fine pieces of
the renaissance are still to be found
in which there are noticeably few
of the rings which made that lace
so heavy. The Austrian handmade
lace, known as crepon, has almost
completely usurped its place. There
are also some centerpieces decorated
with white Irish embroidery and
some made of Chinese grass linen,
embroidered in the rose, dragon
and cherry blossom designs that
have long been familiar on fans and
other trophies Of the orient. Some
of the grass linen pieces have the
white ground, with blue or white
embroidery of white. There are
scarfs as well as centerpieces in
these importations.

STAGE Names.

The custom of adopting stage
names seems to be less commonly
followed now than it used to be. A
writer in the Brooklyn Times points
out that in the olden days not one
in hundred stage performers ap-
peared before the public under his
own name. Of the three "Billys" Of

Labeled the PAGES.

The pages in the house Of repre-
sentatives now wear big black but
tons on which the word sPage" is
printed. Representative Lessler,
who defeated Perry Belmont,
brought about this reform, Before
the members came to know Repre-
sentative LESSER he was several
times taken for page and rather
bl,usquely told to go on errands.
Representative Lessler, who is small
and young, then insisted on having
the pages tagged.

He Matched a Joke.

DR.. Theophilus Leigh, some time
master of Balliol college, would be
remembered. if only for the fact that
he was Jane Austen's greatuncle.
In addition to this distinction he
had an indefatigable wit humor
ran in the family-which kept alert
until his death.
Two days before he died he show
ed himself an incorrigible punster.
One might look for a causal relation
if his age, ninety years, were not
enough to account for his death.
Some one spoke of an old ac-
quaintance as having been legged
on to matrimony."
"Then may the yoke rest easy on
him" said DR.. Leigh.

explanation. Before revolvers were
