Times, there has been no more striking figure and none on whom more eyes were turned in ad miring gasa than the stalwait form and sunburned) swarthy countenance jl General Thomas L. Rosser A new ly appointed officer asked Rosser where he was going to have bis uni form made. “They will cost you a lot of money,*' he said. “I have had six suits made, and they cost me. 5700.” “I will only need," responded Ros ear, “a flannel shirt which I can buy nere anywhere on the avenue; a * pair of shoulder straps, and a string or piece of braid around my hat to desig nate that I am an officer." “You will have to get a fine horse, General," continued the inter’.ocutor. “General Butler has had a S4OO black stallion presented to him, and other Generals have secured fine horses.” “Well,” replied Rosser, “I have some good stock down on my farm; but from what I cau learn a horse will not be the suitable thing in Cuba; I think a mule will be beat, and it is my expectation to ride a mule." It may be that this Confederate vet eran with his flaunel shirt and string around hie bat, bestriding a mule, will not be exactly in trim to court an amorous looking lass or caper nimbly in a lady’s chamber to the lascivious pleasing of a lute, but for a Black Douglas ready for the devil’s own work In desperate encounter comtnend us to this old Confederate soldier.
