 The gentleman in question summoned the messenger to take note to the lady, requesting her presence at the the ater last night. He paid the messenger boy and dispatched the note. James. with the genius of a Pierpont Morgan, believed in getting money coming and going. He collected an addition fee from the lady, who liked not the idea of pay ing for the invitation.

 War Story
December. 1882

the enthusiasm and discrimination of the Army of the Potomac in the winter of 1s63-64 were inspired by foreshad- owing of the coming of Grant. Grant was not promoted to be general in chief until March, 1864. The writer was in the army from Yorktown to @Appomattox and well remembers how, under the stimulation of events of the field from day to day-victory and defeat, defeat and victory-the purpose grew in the hearts of the veteran soldiery until it became 8 passion to take Richmond and take 1t by running down or run ming over the Army of Northern Virgin ia. 9"
 After the army set out for Richmond in May, 1864, it was reviewed on the march by a spirited young southern girl mounted on a horse at the gate of plantation home. Said she, "What do you expect to do?" Some one called out, '@To take Richmond"
 "Well,'' said the girl, glancing at the dnterminable lines which had been passing already two days, "I think you'H do it, but not until you wade to your knees in blood'' No one retorted to the grewsome prophecy, but all who heard it felt like saying, Firing on your blood" This was the spirit of the Army of the Potomac then and had been all along, not from bloodtbirsti- ness, but from fixed determination to have it over and go back to their farms and shops and counting rooms
 While Meade as a leader of the army didn't inspire enthusiasm in the troops, he held their respect and confidence. AS sober and serious as t'Pap" Thomas and *"Uncle John'' Sedgwick, he lacked their genial ways with the men,, but, he

No harm can come even to del icate system by the eating of ripe and juicy apples before going to- bed. The apple is excellent brain food, because it has more phosphoric acid in easily digested shape than any other fruits.
