In a moment he was breathing heavily, and was utterly unconaclous of hit surroundings. With a triumphant smile on his face the Captain datted down a narrow-wind-ing path to the water's edge. A skiff with two men In It had just landed. One left tlie boat. U was the ( .Vpttiin's CVm federate brother, the Colonel. Without saying a word the former led the latter hv the hand up to the thicket where General Sherman lay in a helpless stupor. With a tremor bf excitement the traitorous Missouri an pointed to the sleeping man and said to his brother: ■That man is General Sherman. I have drugged him heavily. He cannot wake. There is no danger whatever. All we have to do la to load him in the skiff, and take him over. I deliver him ■tato your hands." , The Confederate Colonel bent forward, and looked into the face of the sleeper. he turned upon his brother like an enraged Uon. "You infernal scoundrel! You aoulless traitor !" he hissed between his terth. - "Great God! what do'you mean?" said the astonished captain. "I .mean," replied tlie Confederate, "that I will be no party to this act of treachery'on Vour part.

- Northern and Southern Names of! BattlOB. a From General D. H. Hill's paper in j 6 the May Cxntcbt, "The Battle of South ! K Mountain, or Boonsboro'." we quote as - follows: "The . conflict of tile Hll. of September. 1863. ia called tlie battle <>f t South Mountain at the North, and the | battle of Boonsltoro- at the- South. So 1 " double names that we cannot believe the j • duplication has been accidental. Iii- - the unuaual which impresses.

Thus, the first passage - of arms is called tlie bailie of Bull Run at the North.— the name of a little t (Ureaili. At the South it takes^the name ' ' called the Serand Iluil'Runbythe North' ' : and the Second Manassas bv tin- Smith. , - Stone's defeat is the battle of Bad's , - Bluff with the Federals, and the bailie > of Leesburg with the Confederates. Thr 1 battle called by General Grant Pittsburg ■ Lauding, a natural object, was named , ' fthilnh, after a • church, by bis antago ; - nist. Roscerans called his first great fight with Bragg the battle of Stone River, wtiiig Bragg named it after Mnr- - freesboro', 'a village.

At ' present officers are afraid of losing credt it if they fail behind, and the way in t which the linen age driven is almost terrific.

Who first discovered that the flea was r susceptible to education and fine treat - " mrnt is not known: but the fsti remain? II that on their small beads there Is a think- " tog-cap capable of accomplishing great " results. In the selection of fleas for e training, however, the same care must be taken as with human beings!, as the c greatest difference U found in them. y Some are exceedingly apt scholars, while e others can never learn, and so it is that a u great number of fleas are experimented . with before a troupe is accepted. One of the Drat lessons taught the flea, j* is to control Its jumping powers, for if ~ Its great leaps should be taken in the middle, of a performance, tlicrc would " be a sudden ending to the circus. To L insure against such a misfortune, the "■ student flea is first placed in a glass phial, and encouraged to jump as much " as possible. Every leap here made brings (be polished head or the flea against the glass, burling the insect back, End throw- ^ ing it this way and thst, until, after a , long and sorry experience, and perhaps '• manv headaches, it makes up its mind , never to unfold Its legs suddenly agaiu. 51 When it has proved this by refuting to jnmp in the open air, the first ana. , moot important lesson is complete, and ii ,a 'joins the troupe, and it is daily harnessed 'f and trained, until, finally, it is prtv- " nounced to go on the stage, or to the M ring— Si.
