LEE’S CHRISTMAS DINNER
As the fortune of w r nr had fa
vored his larder, through some
skillful foraging of , irim, a
negro, who was hie faithful cook, j
bodv-servant and waiter--three in
ono —General Loe invited several*
officers to dine with him on Christ
mas day, 1804. The lucky veeipi
eats of the timely invitation were
I pi number, all officers of dis
ioiijjamong them Generals,
Street, Gordon and Kershaw.;
v were all on time when the;
ipr was called. It was served
on fi rough pine table, withou. a
cover, in Gen- Leo’s weather-beat
en tout- It consisted of boiled
cabbage, and eight or ton boiled
sweet potatoes, and a disli of rice
cooked dry. The piece do resist
ance which indeed the guest found
it hard to resist, was a small bit
of fat bacon, about three inches
square, that lay on top _>f a big
cahbagft. Now, bacon was as rare
in the Confedetate camp at that
time as are roses on northern hill
tops in December. You can imag
ine, therefore, the self-restraint,
exercised hv each guest- ns he de
clined in turn a slice of the delect
able meat offered by Ins host, who
* >t ‘ rL ’’ n(T knife and fork
ready to cut ami help.
11 was observed that when the
general, after helping to the cab
bage, said to the guest whose plate
Ephraim held out, “Allow me to
help you to a slice of th* bacon? *
the devoted old servitor’s hand
trembled greatly. In fact, he
seemed to be in a state of decided
fright, The high military rank of
the gueat would n<t account for
bis trepidation, for ho daily served
pear 8 master who outranked
them all. There was no splendor
left in the tracery of the faded
gold lace on their battle stained
uniforms to dazzle his eyes and
cause thorn to roll about and
glance from bacon to guest, and
from guest t<* bacon, an each an-1
gwered the hftlt' question with the
words, “No, thank you, general.”
Tho discomfiture of tho waiting
man was all the more striking
from its contrast with the serene
self-poised dignity of his master.
Tho dinner over, the general
and hie guests retired front the
tent, but as they passed out Gen.
Lee turned and said in a low
voice;
‘Ephraim, wq hove another cab
bage, have wo not?”
The answer was, “Yes, sar, Mass
Jtob. We’ve got anudder cabbage.
nth ** *
“Then Ephraim,” sa id the gen
eral, “save the piece of bacon to
I cook with that cabbage."
The prompt and decisive reply
was, “No, sail, Mass Boh, 1 can’t
do <lat! I jist borrowed dat piece
of bacon for seasoning from a
friend oher dar in Richmon’, and
I done gib up my parole of honor
dat I’ll give him back that same
bacon what 1 borrow."
The general consented at once
to the return of the bacon. —

PENMANSHIP OF TELEGRAPHERS
A Curious Instance of the Reve’atioos
of Handwriting.
“An expert telegrapher can al;
ways be told by his writing,” said
an operator the other day. “No
matter how different the writing of
expert, operators may be, there is a
similarity that can al ways be dis
: tinguished by a fellow manipulator
|of the keys. It seems that there are
; certain muscles of the hand capable
|of quicker motion than the others.
! A telegrapher who is compelled-to
take down thirty to fifty words a
minute develops these muscles and
makes them do most of the work.
So the writing of expert operators
has a peculiar resemblance, .which is
particularly noticeable to persons
who follow the business. A tel
egrapher is compelled to adopt a
different style of writing from that
usually taught in schools. In the
latter beauty is what is most de
sired; ill the ease of the telegrapher,
be must have speed, and great
spe r d, too, or he will be thrown
aside. The other day a fellow
operator and myself saw a postal
card. I had only glanced at it when I
remarked that it was the . writing of
A man who had once been a telegraph
operator. My companion agreed,
and further suggested that, lie had
received his education in a railroad
office, inasmuch as he dated his postal
in the right baud corner, whereas a
commercial' operator always writes
the date in the left-hand corner, as
the blanks are made in that form.
Yes, and he lias been a bookkeeper:
for, although the figures in the table
given wore written hastily, they
were written on perfect lines, added
my friend. This all came from our
noticing the class distinction in the
writing of a telegrapher. As there
was no name signed to the postal, it
merely giving a list of shipments,
we were anxious to find out whether
our judgment was correct. We
asked the man who received it who
had written it. He gave the name
of a now prominent business man
who began life as a messenger in a
railroad office, then became a tele
grapher, next was given a position
of trust where bookkeeping was one
of his duties, finally launching out
for himself in a line entirely foreign
to railroading or bookkeeping. The
characteristics that had crept into
bis writing during his early training
were still visible. We had guessed
the history of the man from his writ
ing.”—Pittsburgh Dispatch.

A Young Couple's Experiences on th
Jersey Coast.
The experiences were those of a
young girl in this city. Her first
name is Madge. Her father has a
summer cottage on the Jersey coast .
Last August James Stilwcll, a
worthy young man and a friend of
Madge’s brother, came from his
home and business at New Orleans
to spend two weeks at the cottage.
It, was the night before he was to
depart that lie and Madge, strolled
down the beach after supper. The
targe family in the cottage grew an
noyed, angry and sleepy in turns as
the hours struck and the two failed
to return. Finally everybody went
to bed.
Meantime Mr. Stilwell had de
clared his passion for Madge in reg
ulation terms, and they sat blissful
ly together on a big log, the waves
lapping softly almost at their feet.
The damp fog rolling from the sea
finally awoke them to the harrowing
fact that it was late—extremely late.
Then they hurried baek 1o the dark
and silent house,
Jint went homo tho next morning
and Madge took a book and went
and sat on the big log all day. She
sat there tho next day, also, with the
book, and tho day after that. She
was badly sunburned, and the sun
didn’t become her; but, then, who
whs there to look nice for, anyway?
A big storm arose, and disaster
>amo. The log was swept away by
the rolling waves. Madge was in
consolable. Then a miracle inter
vened iu behalf of true love. Tho
winds and waters brought back the
log, and Madge found it on the beach.
She promptly hired a team of oxan,
and had the precious tree hauled up
far beyond all wandering tides and
dashing seas.
Then Jim came again. Ho had the
log sawed in two. One-half ho sent
to New Orleans, and cheerfully paid
thirty-one dollars and fifty cents iu
express charges. He lias it in his
ro<m in Ibis city. Her father had
to have the. floor strengthened, and
the men sworo frightfully gelling
the thing upstairs. N f . Y. Tribune,
