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 a continued cha e African leopards in captivity) 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 1 >ng distance. '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' and away alvadof me I iav a bunch of feathers and blood brom hat spot the track led m i off uno as w»mp.” The situation was snsceotible of tbut one exception.

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.
