The Man With A Memr?.
Just 1 efore Sherman advanced
on his Georgia campaign, a man
sup|sised to be a rebel spy was
one day arrested in a rebel camp,
lie was in federal uniform, but
his look aud language were un
mistakably southern. He claim* d
to belong to a regiment in anoih
er camp about two miles away,
ami he was sent t> the guard
house until his assertion could In;
verified or disproved. I was ofii
cer of the day at camp that day,
and that is how 1 came to learn
so many of the particulars of the
affair I am relating. It was in
the camp of a Wisconsin regiment
that the apv, who gave bis name
as George Swift, was arrested.
He had come there ostensibly to
visit friends, hut some of the boys
had seen him slyly taking notes,
and he had a-ked such quest! >ns
as no private federal soldier would
liaye any use for. It was pretty
generally understood thsl the
Confederates were using every ex
erlion to secure knowledge of
Sherman’s strength and move
ments, snd the boys hsd no soon
er got the idea that the stranger
was a spy than they gave tile in
formation to me, and I put him
under arrest. 1 saw at a glance
that he was of Southern birth.

"General. Captain Morton does
not seem to be n good hand to re
member faces. Will you please
send for the orderly sergeant and
my tent mates? If I can’t show
by them that I have been with
company G four months you can
order me hung as a spy.”
The cool proposition staggered
the general. Had we discovered
the paper in the man’s pocket in
stead of Ids bools he would have
been allowed to walk of. That
discovery looked suspicious, and

"Isn’t he a member of your

"No. sir.”

The Mexican justices of peace
all hold court in Spanish, as very
few of them speak any English.
Under this stale of things, as
there arc no interpreters attached
to the courts, the American citi
zen is denied in Mexico one of
the most important of his consti
tutional rights, that is lieing
heard in his own defense. I have
known ol Americans having been
tried, convicted and imprisoned
in tile county jail without having
the faintest idea of their offense.
Even when the justice iloes speak
English, lie will insist on con
dueling his court in Spanish.
Up in Sierra county the Ameri-
ican miners elected a Mexican
justice ot the peace because be
could speak English perfectly,
and hearing before him they
hoped would be satisfactoiy to
those who could not speak Span
isll. These liiqies were soon dis
si paled. The first thing Justice
Talemantcs did on ojiening court
was to announce in excellent Kn
glish that all cases coming lie
fore this court should lie conduct
ed in Spanish. Luckily, though
the first case called was between
two Americans, the lawyers on
bolli sides spoke Spanish, and
justice did not suffer.

A Poor In And Why.
A writer in the Planters’ Ad
vocate, who signs himself "Wool
Hal,” tells his brother farmers
why he is poor. He says.- “I
am poor because I buy more than
I sell. In the first place, I buy a
part of my meat Irmn the North
west; my fish come from Portland
in the taking of which the Main-
Unders receive a bounty from the
government. My onion sets and
all my garden seeds come from
Michigan; I sold the wool from
eighteen sheep al 47A cents per

bought a hat from the same com

bought il at 35 cents a |mund,

Only One Suspender. ,
About a week ago a stranger
entered a clothing store on Mich
igan avenue and asked for one
second hand s»s]>ender. Tbe
dealer looked at him for something
less than half nn hour and tbes
broke oul with:
What blace do you dake me
for? Of I keep some second hand
suspenders do you spose I cul 'em
apnn?
Isn’t it yonr object to oblige
the public.
I likes to sell goots, of course,
but nobody comes in bere and
ask me for one punt leg.
Certainly not. but this is a dif
ferent ease. Some men wear two
suspenders—some one. 1 belong
to tbe one suspender class of hu
manity. So did Shakcspear, Mil
ton, Byron, Dickens and others.
Is it right for you to cater to one
class and exclude another?
I sells yon one pair of suspen
ders at costs.
I never huy what I do not want,
I want one suspender and I'll not
lake a pair.
Yell I don't sell ’em that way.
I will give you lime lo liiuik
over it, said the stranger. There
is no occasion for haste, as I am
now wearing a clothes line around
my waist. Give the matter due
thought and serious reflection.
It’s no use, no use, I don’t sell
eoatdails inilont der coal, Dor
some west niilout a back.
The next day the man returned
and renewed his application, and
his list ol one suspender men bore
the names of Washington and Na
poleon.
Do I sell a coat milout any
sleeves? indignantly exclaimed
the clothier; and the placid stran
ger placidly replied.
Take another day to think over
it. View the subject from both
sides. It never pays to move
rashly.
Every day he returned on his
errand and yesterday a policeman
was at hand, lo give him the col
lar walk around the corner and
say:
Now, then, I give you a chance
to keep out of the cooler. If you
come here again you are good for
thirty days.
Oh, I’ll go of course, replied the
man. Does he exclude the one
suspender class?
He dues.
And ha9 made up his mind to
eater to the other.
I presume lie has.
Very well, then I have never
worn hut a single suspender, and
I’ll lie hanged if I can be bulldoz
ed into buying any clothing to
[lack away in the gairct! My
motto is one suspender or death,
and I never go back on my motto.
What is good'miff for the crown
heads of Europe will fit me even
if I put shingle nails in place of
buttons. Good hy, old buttons,
one suspender or a grave in the
valley.
“Are you going to take in any

"Oh yes, I have always taken a
liule recreation every summer and
I always derive pecuniary as well

those resorts every summer.”
“Where do you ex|>ect to go

"Oh, the same old watering
place—the town pump.”
