General Hardss's Encounter With . Witty straaalsr.
 While on e forced march in some of the army movements in Mississippi General Hardee came upon strag. gler. The general ordered him for ward. when the soldier replied that he was weak and broken down. not even having had half rations for several days. #"s.-
 That's hard" said General Hardee, ''but you'll have to catch up with your regiment just the same or the provost sergeant will take you in hand"
 The soldier looked up at the general and said: ..t
 "Ain't you General HardeeT'
 "Yes." answered the general

Loaded Alliqators.

The Indians on the banks of the Ori- noco river, South America, assert that an alligator previous to going in search of prey always swallows large stone so that it may acquire additional weight to aid it in dragging captured animals under water. Bolivar, the traveller, related this oddity of natural history to a companion, who was somewhat inclined to disbelieve it. To prove that there was really some thing in the stories as related by the Indians, Bolivar shot several alligators while in the presence of his friend, and in all of them rocks were found corresponding to the weight of the al- ligator. One immense old fellow had swallowed a stone weighing seventeen pounds.-London Family Herald.

Dickens as a Dude.

A tendency for overdressing was al- ways one of Dickens characteristics. "A very spruce man," is the descrip- tion given of the famous novelist by one writer. "He brushed his coat frequently, changed his collars sev- eral times in day and combed his hair 100 times in a day'
 A photograph of Dickens taken in 1852 shows him in a frock coat with a broad velvet collar, a 'waistcoat made of some furry stuff and trousers of a huge check. Percy Fitzgerald says the French painters remark, that Dickens was "more like one of the old Dutch admirals we see in the picture galleries than a man of letters," conveys an ad- mirably true idea to his friends.

Japanese PoIiteness.

Courtesy Is the invariable rule in Ja- pan instead of being more or less the exception, as with us. A Japanese steamboat in which separate decks were arranged for tho white and the yellow people respectively carried a sign on its English deck which, in our familiar curt phraseology, read, No admittance beyond this line"
 On the deck for Japanese travellers the same prohibition was expressed as follows: "The honorable guests of this company. remembering that the master said The princely man is self restrained,' will kindly exercise that self restraint of which the master spoke and not allow their jade stone feet to wander past this line"

FOUR HUNDRED LIVES LOST DAILY FOR FOUR YEARS.

In his introduction to Camp fire and Battlefield" Rossiter Johnson wrote this opening par agraph, which tells wildly the terrible tale of slaughter and disease in the civil war:
 if any reader, taking up his morning newspaper, should learn that on the preceding day somewhere in our country a great calamity had destroyed 400 lives the news would sadden him all day. And # the next day he should read a repetition of the story, with some change of locality, and the next, and the next, he would surely wish to be told the cause of all that destruo- ton of life, who was responsible for 1t and to what result It was tending. In the great oivil war of 1061-6 the average destruction of Ilfe was 400 a day for the four years that the contest last ed. More than 100000 men were called to the field. The theater of conflict covered near ly 100000 square miles, and there were 2,40o engagements of sufficient importance to have . place In history. ..
