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. soon as we made it out the wav 1 have given it to you. Swift said: "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 Haw Beecher Prepared His Hermans. Writers on homiletics advise Taa Many I’aaurried Waatea.

Two hours later he was confront ed by the orderly sergeant. "Sergeant, do you know this man?’’ asked the General. "No. sir.” "Isn’t he a member of your com pany?” "No. sir.” "You are dead sure of this?” "I am. sir.” "Swift actually grinned as if it was a good joke, and said: "Perhaps 1 have changed skins with somebody since I came out ofeampthis morning.

Hearn little time in general study, and much in special preparation of sermons. Mr. Beecher reversed this rule. Most of his time was spent in general study; his Sun day morning sermon was prepar ed on Sunday morning, and his Sunday evening sermon in the af ternoon. One Sunday evening he preach the eighth chapter of Romans. The congregation was electrified, and Mr. Holliday, the preacher’s as sislant, not knowing whether he was in tbe body or out trf it. sought Professor Stowe, who was standing in his brother in law’s pews. "The first half of that sermon,” saiil the professor, "is the most wonderful thing I ever listened tojbiit the thing that is the most tors, publicists and philanthro pists from Maine to Mexico, and with no little of anxiety as to what is to come ot it. Maybe there are too many womeu born, that is the main trouble. But we are told by high scriptural authority, that God does not en tail ou bis children greater bur •lens than they can bear, and in His wisdom bas proved a way to solve the problem in His own good lime. The women are here —color to slay—and more a com i ng. We don’t propose to get rid of them, as we do some animals, by drowning them, when there are two many for useful purposes; nor to make harems of them as the Sultans do, or give one man a dozen wires as the Mormons practice, but we promise to take good care of those that are here. wonderful to me is how lie pre and provide wisely and well for pared it.

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.

She is reasonably well modeled, a tendency to tight lacing among the traditions of her |>e«ple hav ing had its natural effect to some extent ii|w>n her figure. She is generally good looking and is, as a rule, high spirited anil some what self willed. She is harder to control than the Northern gil l, and when she makes up her mind to get married, anil the old pen pie object, she usually carries out the programme if it lakes a sail ■lie horse and a railroad train to accomplish it. None the less, however, 6be is unusually shrewd in determining her choice, and dries not usually make mistakes. She reads men cleverly, and is herself somewhat difficult to read. The Southern girl's particular specially is dancing. She can dance every dunce under the sun. including all the tip ups, and run ning races which have been in vented by the dancing master since dancing was taken from the polite arts and raised to a place among athletic sports. She is the most graceful ol dancers, and would rather dance than cat.

He can go to the devil; he can do this with greater ease -and less exer tion than he can do anything else in the world, and he can do it a whooping, too. If that is ail you 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 of the watering resorts this sum mer?” asked a well known landla dy to her milkman.

"Oh, the same old watering place—the town pump.” ■ Every man has a paradise around him till he sins, and the angel of an accusing conscience drives him from his eden.
