,J ) LM , s:It rss - - 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."
