Jack Wharton tola story in these words: We had been drinking commissary isky for three months, our clothes were i and nearly worn out, but as good luck lid have it, a blockade runner got into a or's snug harbor, near Galveston, of a k night in spite of Federal vigilance. The kv blockader was freighted with saddles I French brandy, horse blankets and re vere of the newest patterns. The joy of Confederate camp was without bounds, ey saddled their best steeds, using the new ipinents, and their shining canteens were ■d with brandy such as could not have n purchased the day' before the blockader ived in part for s4t)o a bottle—in Confed te money. The shining barrels of their v revolvers caught the light of the morn sun like the sheen of the minarets on a ihammedan mosque at sunrise, The re inder of the ragged regiment, some of the hers without hats, and many with fat ed coats and shirtless, looked with un ioned admiration at the corporal’s guard 10 were ordered out, with their prancing eds, for the long jourpey to the Federal ces, intent on impressing Gen.

'Well.” said the Federal General, ‘l’m tuned if this isn’t a godsend to a man who s t en diinking pine-tree whisky for three onths. ’ ' 'Let us smile, then,’ said the festive hi!tree, who began to see what a favorable tpression he had made. ' Are your men all equipped in this man s'!' asked Gen. Steele. ‘“Dyes,’ said Ochiltree, ‘this is only a tr sample of our whole command,’ and ac ting to Ochiltree’s story Gen. Steele is so astounded at the good condition of e force that he quietly got out of rkansas the next day with his entire cont ain!. ” OlfIS OF WHARTON’S STORIES. Jack Wharton used to tell a good story of *of the Magrudcrs, long since dead, who *°n the “off side” during the war, leav gtlie United States army to take a fight ? place among the Confederates, and it is ill by one who ought to know that Gen. earney, when surrounded by the Oonfeder b pickets, could have saved his life by sur n<ier, but he could not bear the idea of be- S caught by Magruder and his old West Mut companions, then arrayed against his ''eminent, so with the dashing spirit weh always fired the soul of the “one- Med devil of New Jersey cavalry” he pre- m -d the chances of death to cap u't, clung to his horse, prone on snook, and a ball from a picket's rifle npd straight through his body, ending in 1 instant the career of a soldier as brave as nur de Lion and as chivalric as an Aud- King. r i n'* stor y • t * le boys always called him 'ack’' in Washington) about Gen.

Hecar “ w ith him samples of the rarest old lues, brandies of fabulous antiquity, and Moira bought right out of Chief Justice nrslialps cellar. Jack and Magruder met ‘the St. Nicholas Hotel, New York, late in ’! winter of 1805, and the time was 4 i Jtk it the morning. The bell boy was jeep and both were averse to swelling the , , ‘J!*’ already voluminous, after sundry T'i. \ orl i symposiums lasting over n ~ “What are we to do?” sadly said J;. ln his peculiarly droll manner, for his ' v . ll,o h ft you was calculated to provoke hinter. 1 have struck a happy thought,” r , re Pbo<i Magrudor. “Here’s the quick, open my big trunk with MWiplwiu it. lain as dry us a powder nrV * 1 ! b’barton obeyod with alacrity.

Chief Justice Mar shall; to be drunk standing in his own Madeira. ’ If the character of the late lan ented Chief Justice was as excellent as his mre old wine, lie has gone to heaven sure. ” The toast was drunk silentlv, but with ein liressment. The Madeira did not hold out long. “Jack.” said Magruder, “in the left hand corner of the big trunk you will find a liottle of port wine as old as the father of his country. Are you sober enongh not to shake it lip ?” “Avast, there, shipmate,” answered Jack; “I am os sober as the old Chief Justice whoso health we have just druuk. ” The old port wine was produced. “Now for my toast,” said happy Jack, with mock solemnity. The hotel goblets were filled. It was too early in the morning fQr wine glasses. “Here’s to the Father of his Country. When he lived and reigned over us we had one flag and one country. May that happy day dawn again!’’ “Dang my eves,” said Magruder, making a wry face. “I’m hardly reconstructed enough for that toast, but I’ll go you.” And as the wine went down the spirit of cama raderie went up. Before daylight the case of “samples” had disappeared as to its con tents, horse, foot and dragoon, aad the two brave soldiers were sound asleep in one bed, fighting only in dreams over again the days ot the blockade at Galveston and the scenes of the ever memorable battle of Chantilly. In vain the chambermaid knocked at No. 136 second floor, of the St. Nicholas. The soldiers snored. At about 4p. m. the pangs of hunger aroused the sleeping braves. They arose and looked sadly at the empty sample case. “What shall we do now?” said Magruder sadly. “Do? Damme,” said the quick-witted Jack, “order brandy and soda for two, and we will go up to the Shakespeare Clul— they dine at s—No. 11 West Twenty-sixth street, it’s off Broadway. We will dine with old Charley Ransom, and Maj. Crump will give us a stake.” “Your wit ambles well,” said Magruder. “And Jack, old boy! it is a comfort to me to know that you will never starve unless the government retires the circulating me dium.” “You’ve hit the centre,” replied Jack. In those earjy post-bellum days a soldier who ranked with Wharton or Magruder, or with any of the boys, who by a fine free masonry ministered to eash other’s wants from Maine to Texas, did not lack for funds or friends in the city of New York. After dinner, irrigated with liberal liba tiohs of Poinery Sec, the two ex-soldiers began to feel their “oats.” Maj. Crump did not desitate to advance Col. Wharton SIOO and before 11 p. m. the happy soldiers had won at the faro table SSOO between them by a lucky “coll.” The next day the sample case was replenished at another wine house. Magruder departed for business and the South and Jack Wharton for his favorite Slot in Washington. They never met again. en. Magruder died soon after and Whar ton only lived till the second year of Presi dent Arthur. AN EXPERIENCE IN NEW ORLEANS. The best story Jack told was of his actual experience in New Orleans, a month after Lee’s army disbanded. He had an uncle who resided there, and when he saw Jack’s shabby gray uniform he at once and with some sevevity said: “Jack Wharton, if you mean to stay around New Orleans you must dress better than that.” Col. Jack replied with dignity that “a busted Confederate like myself is lucky to have anything on at all.” The uncle handed out a SSO bill, telling him to buy anew rig. Jack left hig relative at once. Right well the United States Mar ehall (later on) knew the possibilities of a SSO note in the city of New Orleans. Jack hied himself to the St. Charles, still histori cal and gloomy, with its lofty columns, a paradise for “sports,” as it was in the days of Henry Clay, “the mill boy of j;he slashes.” Jack Hamilton, of Texas, slapped him on the back at the bar in his own muscular fashion and said to Col. Jack, “let’s liquor,” “Am agreeable,” said Jack, now alive for “business.” Gov. Hamilton informed him that a couple of “professionals” were up stairs looking for victims. Jack remem bered Gen. Forrest when by dint of praying hard and the presence of a $5 bill the cav alry general had a hatful of money in Memphis and informed Gov. Hamilton he would take a hand as far as SSO would go. Up stairs they went to the fourth floor of the St. Charles. Jack Wharton shivered a little, even when he told me the story, at the recollection of the two professionals, armed to the teeth, sitting before a pine table, on which stood a demijohn of old Gibson aud a pack of “keerds.” Col. Jack took his place opposite Gov. Hamilton, first laying his re volver beside him with the quiet remark: “This is to be a gentleman’s game, I sup- Sxse?” to which the two gamblers assented. ut lam wrong in point of time, for the demijohn was tested before the revolver was produced, for, as Senator Garrett Davis once said, “whisky was the vernacular drink of Kentucky and Louisiana.” all-night poker. The game went on with varying fortune till toward morning and Jack struck a bob-' tail flush on the second deal and uis “pile” rose to SSOO. In telling his story he said his hair rose as the jack pot did. The demijohn was, toward morning, beginning to look, as Jack expressed it “like the blue point of an almost forlorn hope.” Jack Hamilton was out of luck, but Wnartoasaid he could have “won the staff's out of the sky,” so marvel ous yfas his own luck. The jack-pot slowly ascended till there was $4,000 on the table. Wharton was a man “four-square to every wind that bi0.,0," but the professionals began to sus pect him as ho dashed down four aces and raked m the “pot.” He told me that he would never have got out alive with his “boodle” but for the fact that Jack Hamilton, once Governor of Texas, was a terror to the other two, and they did not, in his presence, dare to resort to violence. Luck never wavered, but fortune smiled on poor Juek, who was battling for life and anew SSO suit. The demijohn gave out at the gray of dawn. Jack was in an agony to get out alive. His boots were full of money: so was the rim ol' his hat, the inside pockets of his coat and vest, aud his Confederate suit was stuff ed with SIOO bills in every comer. Much to Jack’s relief his uncle had sent his son, a boy of 12, to hunt Jack and to tell him liis sister was sick. Jack bolted from the pro fessionals, leaving Jaek Hamilton to bear the brunt of his “skip,” simply saying his sister was dying. He followed his little cousin home, first astonishing the boy by presenting him with a SIOO bill to “buy candy with.” Jack Wharton always said his uncle hail Quaker blood in him, and he expected to lie sat down on at the breakfast table, whither he wended his way with much trepidation of spirit. Jaek may tell the rest of the story just as It occurred: “I wa# reasonably sober. I walked with great deliberation to the side of the table where I usually sat. The good old man looked at me sternly, and said; ‘Jack, I fear you have gambled away my SSO. Where’s your new clothes?’ “I was silent a moment. I kicked off my big cavalry boots and out flew $2,000 in one hundred dollar bills. I dived into my vest pockets; out flew another SI,OOO. I shook my hat, and turned down the inside lining and SII,OOO fell on the bread plate. I took one look at my good old uncle. He.loved the sinner, but he hated the sin, and as I piled the money—in all SII,OOO-two tears slowly courett dnown his cljeoks ks he left the table. He never upbraided mf) and I am free to say that never did that much money do He,re good in New Orleans than that lucky SII,OOO. But it was my last gre game of poker.” The war softened Jack U hnrton ;< spirit. His chango of politics came near involving him in half a dozen duels, but his ready an swer was: “Boys, I saw enough bloodshed for four years—no more fighting for me.” and he kept his word.

And take him all in all, Jack Wharton possessed as sweet a spirit as ever tenanted a human form. FASHIONS OF NOTE WRITING Interesting Points About an Interesting Subject. I shall be glad to say a few words about a certain art of evqry day—that of note writing—which, in these touch-and-go times seems to be more neglected than is necessary. True, it is not entirely overlooked in the schools where our young people undergo whati s popularly known as the “finishing process;” witness their painstaking epistles, accepting or rejecting the Banner ide feasts of Mesdames Smith and Jones, produced at stated intervals for revision by the teachers. But how few carry into society the ability to acquit themselves to wal'd their corres pondents, after the fashion of the poet’s fail one: “I know it, for she told me so ln phrase devinely molded. She writes a charming hand, and oh! How sweetly all her notes are folded!” One is often surprised to receive from people “quick at verbal point and parry,” ready of wit in general conversation, notes of mere conventionality so heavily handled as to suggest a strain of unwonted mental labor. Others treat with regard the trifling exactions of contemporaneous etiquette, nothing in themselves, but inevitably pro ducing in the mind of the recipient a feeling of wonderment, tempered with compassion. Some are too familiar, some too stiff, almost all are labored and self-concious. In fact, notes, like handshakes, are sad betrayers of an imperfectly developed, social organiza tion. An affectation that cannot be too strongly reprehended is that in vogue among some young ladies of writing horizontally across the first page, vertically upon the second and so on to the end. This maddening practice, sometimes pursued through several sheets in a fine slanting hand, is infallible in reducing the correspond,ent to bewilder ment if nothing worse. It is a generally re ceived impression in America that good form exacts writing alternately on the first and third pages of a sheet of note paper, and in the days of thin paper there would seem Jo be some reason for the practice. But among our social dictators, by whose laws American society lives and moves and has its being—the English upper classes —this is .condemned as suggesting business habits adopted with a view to having copies made by letter press. The latest faa is to write on the first and second pages only, repeating the last word at the end of the first page in imitation of our forefathers’ and signing, no matter what your string of baptismal ap pellations (this more particularly if you are a woman) by a single initial preceding your surname. As for instance: Believe me, my dear Mrs. Vere de Vere, yours faithfully, J. Jones. Monday, Ninetieth street. To throw all posible light upon the ultra fashionable billet of the day, I might further say that Miss J. Jones writes upon a sheet of medium sized parchment paper,or Irish linen of a fair and creamy surface, folded once, to fit a square envelope, 1 and inscribed with a quill pen, causing her ehirography strongly to resemble the early efforts of a schoolboy with a sharpened stick dipped in the ink bottle. Elaborate monograms have well-nigh passed away. The bouse address, in gold, silver, lavender, yellow or pale blue, with sealing wax to match, is the only coquetry now left to adorn the femin ine epistle. Scent is an abomination to the nostrils of so many people that it were wise to leave the sachet in the shop. Or, if an odor is desired, left it be of faintest orris, whispering of violets. As to the brief nightmares of scarlet paper and other monsters of the kind, they have been relegated to the oblivion they deservo. Ragged edge paper copies into the house with the spring announcements of milliners and tailor Vanished are violet inks, pretty and fluent as they were. Simplicity rules, at which, assuredly, no one will carp. So much for the outer shell of the notes of good society. As to its contents, they vary like the spirits of mankind in their covering of flesh. But there are certain little ways of wording, say a dinner invitation, that harply changes, save for the names, dates and addresses. If the dinner to be given is not one of ceremony (which in New York means a banquet to which guests are bidden three weeks in advance) tne hostess most often writes in the first person to her dear Mrs. Tompkins, hoping tnat “you and Mr. Tompkins will give us the pleasure of vour company at dinner on Tuesday, the 25th, at half after 7 o’clock,” and signed herself ‘Yours cordially,’ M. Smith.” To which Mrs. Tompkins, as promptly as may be, after due consulation with her leige, responds, perhaps, as follows: “Dear Mrs. Smith,” if on easy terms of friend ship, otherwise “My Depr Mrs.-Smith:” Hr. Tompkins and I have great pleasure in accepting your kind invitation to dinner on Tuesday, the 25th, at halt after 7 o’clock. Yours cordially, L. Tompkins. It will be noted by the observer that both Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Tompkins writ* their dates in full, and that Mrs. Tompkins takes .care to repeat the date and hour of the pro posed festivity in order that no misunder standing may arise. Should, on the other hand, one apocryphal Mrs. Tompkins chance to be a dweller in state on the avenue of the elect or on one of the equally favored streets leading there unto, and accustomed to regale her circle by a series of prandial entertainments, checking one set after another from her list with systematic delilieration at intervals of a week throughout the season, she will natumllyliave upon her writing table a box of largesquare cards engraved as follows, leaving blanks for the insertion of names and dates: Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins request the pleasure of Mr. and Mrs. Smith's company at dinner on Tuesday. Jan. 25, at 8 o’clock. 606 Fifth avenue. It sometimes happens that in borrowing fashions from London we hit upon one so eminently sensible that there can be no question of the wisdom of adopting it: such is the now universal habit, of mailing invita tions and notes upon the thousand and one pleasant puerilities of social life in a busy city. A few years ago jicople who were not surprised by Mrs. Nickelby’s humorous idea of impressing into service as a genteel letter carrier an omnibus driver with a glazed hat and a wart on his nose, who would look like a gentleman’s servant, where often put to it to forward speedily and sulely a num ber of cards at once. District messenger boys, hailed with rapture ufton their intro duction, soon proven to be expensive and unreliable in such a case. More than one horrified dame has had her notes and envelopes returned to her by some passerby who has discovered them cast away in a secluded nook or convenient drain. Many another has been compelled to meet dark looks mid lowering glances from some acquaintance to whom she has duly for warded invitations which never reached their destination; their failures remaining naturally unexplained. .Such experiences brought about the use of the convenient post box at tho corner, into which at first the entertainer slipped her note of invita tion, carefully enveloped in a second coven mg to which tho plebeian postage stamp was fixed. At lust some leader of society returned from a sojourn in London during this season, boldly declaring that she meant to send all her cards by post, lot who Would cavil. After that the practice became general. Even the affected outer cnvelojw the husk of the choice kernel, was dropped. Notes of invitation come to-day fairly and squarely stamped and postmarked, and everyone breuthes free at the l’ncilty with which they can be answered and dispowxl of. Anti the trivial corres|iondenoe nowadays is no mean part of a woman's daily life, one thing to Ist systematized and dealt with briskly. l<wt the tide sweep over her. Each postal delivery nt one’s door brings a host of little white-winged messengers of hospitality, of charity and of petty gossip. An hour after breakfast devoted to the disposal of them is an all too small allowance. Reason the more, therefore? why we should cultivate facility in shaping our reeponsßs, taking due care to temper it nffn rettcenar of quantity. Mbs. Jp?yfos N.'iLuusisos. JULIA’S QUEER MARRIAGE. Extraordinary Experience of an Eng lish Girl with a French Husband. Front the Herald Cable. Paris, May 17. —In the Police Court yes terday a pretty little English girl named Julia Rothscliild, 10 years of age, was sen tenced to fifteen days’ imprisonment for shooting and wounding her “husband,” Henri Montane, with a revolver. Montane, who is a splendid looking fellow, 22 years old, six feet high, with black eyes and Henry IV. beard, met Julia at the Alhambra, Lon don, and fell head over heels in love with her, and a few days afterward they were •married at the Register’s Office. The cou ple came at once to Paris auil _ lived at Montane's sumptuous mansion. No. 54 Rue Montaigne. Here the most exciting scenes took place, which caused consternation in the entire neighborhood. Montano, who served in the French merchant marine, is a man of very eccentric disposition. He had all the electric bolls in the house removed and replaced them with revolvers, rifles and cannon. A complete arsenal was estab lished on each floor of the mansion. A six pounder brass cannon lir.od once summoned the butler; fired twice it called the cook; three times, the coachman. Five discharges of the revolver in rapid succession brought the chamliermuid; seven shots meant that the chambermaid should appear with hot water. No candles were allowed to be blown out, but were to be extinguished by pistol shots. All the servants were provided with revolvers, and from morning till night there were constant cannonading and revolver shots. On April 20 Montane’s mother, who hail not been in formed of the marriage, appealed on the scene and was received with a salute of twenty-one guns. Mine. Montane replied by insisting that the marriage was not binding in France, and that Julia be sent back to London. Julia and Henri then quarreled. J\ilia, furious and raging, aimed her revolver at Henri and fired six balls at him, wounding him twice, in the arm and shoulder. At the trial yesterday the Judge asked the accused: “Did yon mean to kill M. Montane?” Julia, who cannot speak a word of French, answered, through her inteimreter: “No. In fact, I did not fire thy revolver at all, but my husband tried to commit sui cide and wounded hirpself.” The concierge of the Montane mansion was next called. He is an old man, with grizzly beard, and wore a black velvet rap. He testified that Julia came running down stairs after the “accident,” as he called it, and exclaimed, in broken French: “Mot pan bourn-bourn! Lui boum-brrum!" (Meaning that it was not she who had done the shooting, but her husliand). But In spite of this testimony the Judge sentenced Juba to fifteen days’ imprison ment, at the expiration of which time she is to be sent back to London. She was re moved from the court room crying.
