THtIHKIMV MORNING, FEB. L^B6ft
ANti-DOTE ok Sidney Johnston. —
“M. tV. M." says an exchange, sends us
the following anecdote of the late Gen
Sidney Johnston:
“While Sidney Johnston resided on
Oyster Creek, in Texas, he kept a tame
Mexican Hon, of which he was very
fond, and which followed him every
where like a dog. One day while at
dinner with Gen. Lamar and Rev. Mr.
Fontaine, he was feeding him with
pieces of meat, and happening to give
him a rare slice, with hlood dropping
from it, the lion seized the hand' that
held it, crushing it and growling fiercely,
with angry eyes fixed on his master.
General Johnston, without a cry of pain
or a single movement, looked steadily at
him and said qnietly several times, ‘Let
go Dan.' But the animal only growled
and lashed his tail, when, turning to a
servant, the General told him to hand
his pistol, which the frightened negro
did, and General Johnston taking it in
his left hand, blew out the lion’s hraias ;
blit his hand was hopelessly niaimed."
