Leap of the Wildcat.
The. wouderful power of a wild
cat is shewn in its ability to le.ipl
long distances. AH of the cat tribe
have immense power in their legs
and they make up in the lengh of
their spring their inability to make

haye been known to leap fiom I tie
floors of their cages and strike the '
top. twelve feet above. Tigers
make tremendous leaps and strike
down their prty with a bow of
theii powerful paws as they
alight.
But the wildcat for its piz •, is
probably the must wonderful
jumper of all the felidea. A hunt.
er who is well known for his ve
racity tell the following story of
his adventure which illustrates
this power: “I was hunting in the
snow and came across the tracts
of a wildcat, which I followed a

'i Suddenly the truck <am * to ao
end in a spot where he animal
had crouched. I looked around to
see what hud become of the trai'

CONFEDERAIE HISTORY.
The following paragraph has i
-I been going the rounds of the pri'ss : I
i “There w£re nineteen lieutenant j
i generals in the Confederate army. '
: and all of these are dead save fouri
—Wade Hampton, Joseph Wheel
er, James Longstreet and General
John B. Gordon.”
According to the Confederate
Roster, prepared by the late Col. <
Charles Colcock Jones, of Augusta,
and the most trustworthy extant,
there were twenty-one Confederate I
lieutenant generals, including
General John B. Gordon. This
list includes, however, E. Kirby
Smith aijd John B. Hood, who at
tained the rank of general.
It is striking evidence of the ig-'|
norance of the careers of the great'
actors in the War for Southern'
I Independence that the above para-1
: graph should have been copied
throughout the South and mo:e
especially in South Carolina and
Mississippi.with no reference to a
| serious omission.
I Lieut. Gen. Stephen I). Lee, of
uth Carolina, was appointed to J
j tiiat rank on June 23, JsHI. lie
I was assigned to the command <>t
. the Department of Alabama, Mis-1
I ,-issippi, East Louisuma and \\ est
Tennessee, and was subsi'i.uently
! in <•< nimand of Hood's ol<i crops,
j Army of Tennessee, composed of
I the Divisions of Hd.l, Stevenson
and C ay ton.
General Lee still lives with a
