New name for a stealer of watches—
Proscrastination.
A Jbbseyman was lately arrested for
flogging a woman, and excused the act
l)/ 5 saying he was near-sighted, and
thought it was his wife.
“How does it appear,” said Sheridan
to a lady on one occasion, “that the sub
ject of Gray’s elegy in a country church
yard was a volunteer soldier ?” Because
the poet informs us that
“Large was his bounty, and his soul sincere. ”
A portion of the 20th Corps had a wet
time of it in the Rice Swamps of South
Carolina. A wag perpetrated a carica
ture of the General Commanding, seated
in the crotch of a tree surrounded jby
water, his staff roosting on the branches,
one of them drawing up by a cord a
basket, from which protruded the long
necks of sundrv bottles. The idea was
natural, though paradoxical, to reso rt to
champagne under the serious discomfi
tures of the situation. —Boston Transcript.
War Humors. —During the march,
General Kilpatrick avows, that efficient
as was his cavalry, he could never get
rid ot foragers from the main army.
Forty-five miles out, the forager would
meet the astonished trooper. On a gun
boat, reconnoitering far down the Ogee
chee, Gen. Osterhaus met a frail craft
far away from the shore and still sailing
down, with a crew of old blue coats!
“Who's there ?” called out the General,
“51st Illinois!” was shouted back.
“What are you doing?’ “Foraging!”
These adventurous spirits were after
oysters.
Sherman bears among his soldiers the
characteristic sobriquet of Old Tecumseh
A story is told of his providential ab
sence of mind. The day before Fort Mc-
Allister was taken, an escaped and
joyous contraband came to him with a
story. Sherman heard him for a moment,
and went on writing, the darkey still re
lating his tale, concluding it with a burst
of joy—“ Dis chile don't sleep dis night.”
The contraband left, seemingly ignored
by the General, and it was not until Fort
McAllister was taken that his story was
revived in the joy of the General. As
the old darkey said, “Dis chile won't
sleep dis night,”
True Knowled/ik. Well-in formed
persons will easily be discovered to have
read the best books, though they are not
always detailing lists of authors; for a
muster-roll of names may be learned
from a catalogue as well as from the li
brary. The honey owes its exquisite
taste to the fragrance of the sweetest
flowers; yet the skill of the little artifi
cer appears in this : that the delicious
stores are so admirably worked up, and
there is such a due proportion observed
in mixing them, that the perfection of
tne whole consists in its not tasting, in
dividually, of the Rose, the jassamine,the
carnation, or any of those sweets, of the
very essence of which it is compounded.
ut true judgment will discover the in
tusion which true modesty will not dis-
P a y l an d even common subjects, pass
ing through a cultivated understanding,
borrow a flavor of its richness.

A live-year old boy in one of the Syra
cuse, N. Y., schools, made a liberal dis
tribution ot medals among his little
schoolmates, from a bag which he
brought to school. The medals proved
to be gold coin, and investigation show
ed that the boy had found the bagse
cretad in an old clock, and that his
mother and another woman who had
been living upon public charitv, were
the possessors of &4400 in gold, which
they had secreted in their shanty. It
took some time to hunt up and recover
the little fellow’s disbursements.
