An Incident at The War. . At the opening of Camp Barnett. In ( j Cleveland, Captain A. J. IUcka related an j Incident in which he was personally Inter- ( eated. In it he was the bearer of the newi ■ 1 of Lee's surrender to Grant at Appomattox j 1 to the whole of the Twenty-third Amy ( Corps On a bright day in April. 1805, ' Major General J. D. C-x. commanding the j e Twenty-third Army C.*pt, with bis staff ^ s and esenrv were rilling leisurely at the 1 head of the marching column on the ] 1 road lo Raleigh. The news from Gram ■ wai of the fierce struggle about Richmond, ' iu evacuation and Lee'tfiighl toward Oen1 tral Virginia. Die corps were pushing on | ! toward Raleigh to prevent a consolidation ' of Johnston and lee's armies, and though { e hourly looking for newt of Important ) 5 movement t there were 00 expectations of ^ ar.jr decisive victories. An orderly from " General Porter rode up to General Cox and ( f quietly presented a meesage to hln^ 0»- . 1 cral Cox's face at onoe lit up with Joy in1 describabte aa be cried out, "lee baa r f.jrtrn(itrc(i •" . J ' The whole staff was ordered to loone ' the bridpl reins and waving their hats to give three cheers for the Union. Aa cheer ^ after cheer rose from the enthusiastic car- ( 1 alrymen, Captain Hicks' horse turned and _ ran towards the main army. Before he i ' could check him the idea was suggested . ( e " Why not carry the news 10 the entire ' division? No sooner aaid than driving 1 the spurs into the aidca of his horse he ^ ' aped onward toward the advancing lnfan. I try. They had heard the shouts of the j *■ advance of the column, but could not of ' '• course understand what It was about. Aa ' they aaw the messenger approaching the | * ranks divided on either side and allowed ' " What it the matter r * " Lee lias surrendered with his whole army lo Grant." ' Such shouts of Joy aa the good news d sped along! Men wept, screamed, did '■ ererytbieg lo'exiireaa their gladness and ° relief to know that tba war was at last so * nearly done; that the weary marches, " bivouacs, the looely picket duty, and the '• bloody battles were almost over. Before tbc messenger were anxious rotdiera leanr" Ing forward to know what was the cause of the shouting, which could be heard '' were men rendered frantic by the good " newt, shouting and clinking their canteens C logelber, so aa to make all the noire pouiII We. One bright looking roldicr leamd n forward out of the ranks mad Inquired, ' " What's the newaf" news ?"

" Lee has surrendered with hla whole army lo Grant !" "Great God! you're the man I have looking for for four yreri !" wu the reply, disliocUvely nudlable above the yells and cheers. On and on the now hoarse rider aped through eight miles of rejoicing men, until be met General Jack Casement, so well known to Northern Ohio soldiers. "For God's sake, what la the ncwa r " Lee baa surrendered to Grant, with whole army I" Bo overcome with Joy waa General that be got down and turned a complete somersault In the road. Hard Luck nt Cards aind Dion. Major C , who is exceedingly fond of whist, wis speaking of the way in which adverse luck will sometimes pur. a man, and remarked that be once played a whole season at the While Sulphur Springs and never held a trump. Some one in the company suggested thai held at least ooe trump every lime he dealt the cards. But the Major replied. " Every lime I dealt it was a misdeal." The Major illustrated the same idea in another way. He aaid that be was ooce a party where the proposition was made to throw dice for drinks and dgara. He threw several times, and every time the dice came out ace, deuce. He war vexed and threw tbem with all.his might fgVp" the wall of the room. Wheu he want to pick tbem up from the floot he confronted with same one and two spots. He went to the window nnd pitched tbem aa far aa he could into the yard. The next day be felt like trying his lock again, and not having another pair of dice, went out Into the yard to hunt them up. Stooping down and peering closely infevybsgvaaa. his eyes finally rested upon lbs ace. He was to mad that be made a mental resolution that If the other dice waa found with the deuce be would swallow than. He found It at last, and was ibe deooe. He swallowed them both forthwith. Five minutes lata became dreadfully alarmed at what might be the consequence of hla rash act, sod took a strong emetic. The dice was deposited on lha grass again. "And as aura as you are alive," ankl the Majo " there lay the same old eoe, deuce." There are (ew readers who will not find something in the September number of Dmorati KontUy Jfaeamiu to plena them. The coo tents ere agreeably direr- | sided and the articles of aa interesting nature. In addition 10 the aerial " Agatha 1 Valvule," there are averal well writtec abort er stories. Among the articles worthy of note 1s a highly Interesting sketch of " Margaret," the philanthropist of New Orleans, written by Rosamond Dale Owen. Jenny June, in ba article, "How We lire in New York," gives a picture of "bastnea girls." Hetta L Ward furnishes "Home Art and Home Oonrforti" and "Current Notes" discusses topics of general interest. Many of the snides are fully Illustrated, and the various departments leave nothing to wish fa In the way of useful information. The frontispiece la a beautiful Keel en- < graving from Miftais' celebrated palming, 1 "The Bride of Lammermoa," now in 1 the VanderbOt gallery of New York.

But if you Imagine ' that Its great age Is to be measured only ' the years wMch have elapsed si dc* the war, youWC greatly mistaken; for there waa a common belief among the boTl that I cur hard-tack had been baked long before the commencement of the Christian era! opinion waa based npoo the fact that ' tbe letters B.
