Armv Secret Service,

Toward the end of the civil war the
value of a we'll organized scout service
came to be fully appreciated by the
leaders of both armies. Perhaps no
commanders of modern times were
better served in this respect than Gen.
Grant and Gen Lee. Both were kept
informed daily as to nearly everything
that went on within the enemy's lines.
Gen. Gordon relates that one morning
toward the end of the long conflict,
when the Confederates, officers and
men alike, were reduced to unpleasant
straits for food, captain from the Un-
ion headquarters went, under flag of
truce, with a communication to Gen.
Lee concerning the exchange Of pris-
oners.
Gen. Lee," said the captain, with
smile, after delivering his message,
Gen. Grant sends you his personal
compliments, and bids me assure you
that he knows exactly what you had
for breakfast this morning"
Gen. Grant must be misinformed as
to this" replied Gen. Lee, surveying
the message bearer with a sad smile.
Gen. Grant is a generous man; and II
he had known with what breakfast
had to- content myself he would GER
tainly have sent me half of his. Give
him my compliments" he continued,
with a sudden twinkle: "and say that
although l do not know as to his
breakfast, / have full particulars con-
cerning his dinner last night"

GETTING RID OF PIRATES.
How a Band Was Quickly Disposed
of In South China.

How a Band Was Quickly Disposed
of In South China.
A reader who arrived at Hongkong
from Wuchow informs us that on Sun
day, when he left Wuchow, there was
a great changing of gongs and blowing
of whistles. The people were in a
most excited state of mind and crowd
ed the streets and housetops.
Inquiry as to this unusual state of
affairs ELECTED the information that
seventeen of the most notorious rob-
bers of the district, men who had
kept the inhabitants in terror for a
long time past, had paid the penalty
of their misdeeds. 1t being impossible
for the authorities to effect their arrest
in the ordinary way, the taotai of the
district enticed the robbers to his va
men by an offer of free pardon and
other inducements to abandon their
nefarious pratices.
No fewer than seventeen of the ruff
fans swallowed the bait. Sixteen en-
tered the yamen and were promptly
surrounded by troops and made pris-
oners. One man escaped from the
compound into the street, and ran for
dear life. Another-the seventeenth
man-suspected a trap and took to his
heels without entering the official resi-
dence. Meanwhile the troops were not
handling the fifteen captives very
gently. They were promptly disarmed
and without much ado were stripped
and cut into a thousand pieces.
The enraged populace were not long
in securing the two runaways and they
met their end in the same manner in
the streets There was great rejoicing
afterward and it is hoped that this les
son will have a deterrent effect on
others whose haunts may be in the
neighborhOod.
