Many yarns have been told Of that
irasclble, though brilliant aud keen
witted statesman, John Randolph Of
Roanoke" said an old resident to a
party of friends. 81 never had the
pleasure of meeting the distinguished
Virgiuiau myself, but some ofmy rel.
stive, many years older than myself
knew him personally.
Zone OF the most amusing anecdotes
ever heard of him related to an event
that happened in Virginia at Que OF
the roadside inns where the famous
Senator, in the course of business
Journey, had been forced by the COM
ing on OF darkness to tsrry for night.
The landlord made everything m
comfortable as he possibly could for
bis guest, who by retiring manners
made it evident he would not allow
any approaches of sOcisbility. Boni-
face could not, however, restrain from
asking the Senator as he mounted his
horse to ride away in the morning In
which direction he was travelling.
"'Mr. Randolph ssid: Is my bill
settled ? Do | owe you anything
Not a cent, said the host; every
thing is perfectly correct, Mr.. RAN
dolph.'
Then, said the departing states
man, in that case wish you TO un-
d d-rst.nd am going where | d.
please
Randolph rode on, but soon came
to place where the roads forked.
He was nonplussed and decided to
return and inquire OF the deeply in
suited landlord which of the two roads
he should take to reach his destina-
ton
"'Mr Randolph, said mine host,
you have paid your bill you don't
owe me cent, and you can take
which every road you d. please "

The magnsnimlty Of Gen. h. +. Lee
is well known, but the daily manifes-
tations Of it are not yet all told. One
notable case has, it is believed, never
before appeared in print, Gays Youths
Companion.
Gen Lee was sitting on the veran-
da of his Lexington home one after
noon, engaged in conversation with
some friends, when a man, lll.clothed
and covered with dust, appeared at
the gate and timidly beckoned to the
general.
ApologiziDg to his friends, Lee rose
at once and went to the gate. Very
soon bis purse appeared, and he was
seen to give the man some money.
His friends, knowing the extent Of
bis charity, real or apparent, looked
on with some lmpstlence, lot they
knew how slender bis means were
then, and how many calls Of the same
kind came to him.
General, who was tbat2' one OF
them ventured, when he had returned
to his place.
Zone Of our boys in trouble, was
the half.smiling answer, for the gen.
eral knew the remonstrance which his
friend was longns to make.
"What regimen and company did
he belong to2" persisted his friend.

suspected fraud.
"Oh, he--he fought on the other

Maintaining His Reputation.

Some time before the civil war, and
while he resided in southern Illinois,
John A. Logan once found it necessary
to doubt the veracity of man con-
siderabIy older than himself, and
told him 80.
e"Don't call me liar, sir, said the
man e1citedly Il have a reputation
to maintain, and I mean to maintain
it if have to do it at the point Of a
pistol.
"Oh," said Logan, "that won't be
necessary. You maintain your rePu-
tation all right every time you tell q
lie"

General Order No. 73.
"The Commanding General has OBJ
served with marked satisfaction the
conduct of the troops on the march,
and confidently anticipates results
commensurate with the high spirit
they have manifested. No troops
could have displayed greater fOrtitude
or better performed the arduoue
marches of the past ten days. Their
conduct in other respects has, with
few exceptions, been in keeping with
their character as soldiers, and enti-
ties them to appreciation and praise.
There have, however, been instan-
ces of forgetfulness on the part OF
some that they have in keeping the
yet unsullied reputation of the army
and that the duties exacted Of US by
civilization and Christianity are not
less obligatory in the country Of the
enemy than in our own. The Com
manding General considers that no
greater disgrace could befall the army,
and through it Or whole people, than
the preparation of barbarOus out
RACES upon the innocent and defense
less and the wanton destruction Of pri-
vate property that have marked the
course of the enemy in our country.
Such proceedings not only Disgrace
the perpetrators and all connected
with them, but are subversivs of the
discipline and efficiencyof the army and
destructive of the view Of our present
movements. 1t must be remembered
that we make war only on armed men,
and that we cannot take vengeance
for the wrongs our people have suffered
without lowering ourselves in the eyes
Of all whose adherence has been eI-
cited by the atrocities Of our enemy,
and offending against Him to whom
vengeance belongeth, without whose
favor and support our efforts must all
prove in vain.
The Commanding General there
fore earnestly eThort' the troops to
abstain, with most scrupulous care,
from unnecessary or wanton injury to
private property, and he enjOins upon
all officers to arrest and bring to sum-
mary punishment all who shsll in any
way offend against the orders on this
subject.

prises of every description are spring
ing up all over the Republic, yielding
large profits and carrying the tide of
civilization higher and higher. If any
one should ask me. rs it worth while to
go to Mexico for pleasure or instruc-
tion. I should say yes, decidedly.
There is no other country where can be
seen so much that is novel, interesting,
and beautiful, with as little expenditure
OF time and money
Almost all of the principal cities are
reached by rail, and the service is ex-
cellent. Particularly is this true of the
Mexican Central railroad, whose main
line traverses almost the entire length
Of the Republic al an elevation of from
1000 to 200 feet above the sea, with
branch lines In every direction
We are accustomed to think Of Mexi-
co as a land of semi -saVages, a cOun-
try of revolutions, bandits and Yaqui
Indians, where ones life and well being
would be in constant jeopardy. This is
far from true. Life and property, eX-
cept in some extremely remote districts,
are as safe as anywhere in the world
Indeed. the business-hke thorOughness
with which all branches of government
are carried on would put to shame
many countries that boast higher
civilization.
The City of Mexico today is better
paved lighted and polieed. as well
drained and almost. or quite, as clean
as any city In the United States, W ash

fne electric street railway system,
beautiful parks and splendid stores.
The wares of the entire world can be
bought there at astonishingly low
prices.
Many other large cities are nearly as
advanced as the capital, and along the
railroads towns are springing up and
manufactures multiplying with sur
prising rapidity- Civilization is progress
