Longatreet l.aa made the science of ( war a atudy. An Incident will illustrate i natural interest in military opera- . tlons: When the Frcnch-Prusaian war was in progress he kept a map abowing . the progrc-s of the campaign, and with ( colored peg», which he moved from day day, he knew Just precisely the positions of the armies. Tbe.c was a time when Bazaine had been driven to Kelx, and McMahon was b.sitaling on the ' route between Mctz and Paris as if uncertain whether he should push on to relieve Bazninc or fall back toward Paris, j One morning the new came that McMabon hvd been pushed north of the route. Longatreet was then living in New Orleans, and the Creoles came to him from ( time to time to see his map and get his | opinion. That day he said to them: "McMahon and bis men will be prison- . era of war in ten days." They were angry and accused Longalreet of prejudico | in favor of the Pruss'ana. Then he I t ■ showed them by the map that the Prua- ■ siant werfi "how nearer Mctz and Paris than McMahon was, and If the latter ' moved in either direction, the Prussians ' availing themselves of the shorter dls- . tancc could get klwcen him and his j ! destination and force him to attack, but he had Already been so demoralized that he could not succeaafuUy alUck and would, therefore, be obliged lo surrende. General Lonatrect draws an interesting parallel between that situatlor and the f one at Gettysburg. "Had we Interposed * between Meade and Washington," be says, • our army In almost as successful - prestige aa was that of the Prussians, Meade would have been obliged to attack ua where we might be pleased to bave-hjm. He would have been badly beaten like the French." "General Grant ia aai.i to have stated to Intimate fried, upon one occasion that of all the mistakes made by the Union aide the greatest was at Gettysburg." "It was," came the response without a moment's hesitation; "there Isn't any doubt about it." "You mean the mistake wat In not following up the victory? " - "Yea." "The day after the fighting ceased." "No. On the third day ot the battle. Meade shouldn't have waited until the „ next day. He shouldn't have waited E ten seconds. Pickett's Division had been knocked all to pieces— almost J wiped out. Tne same was the ease " A. P. Hill's Corps; or at least two divisions of IL There were three divisions gone. They left a break in our line of over a mile. Meade shouldn't have waited at all, but should have thrown I his army right In between us." "That would ended the whole thing F' T "Probably." - "Did you ever institute any comparison in your own mind between Grant and lee— aa to which was the greatest soldier ? " »• The General hesitslad a little and then replied carefully: "Somebody— I don'r -y recollect who It was— wrote to me once _ asking which was the greatest soldier, g lfwrote back, pulling my view somewhat in the style of a problem. I bolieve I said. Grant probably had the moat, moral courage. In tactics the two men were about equal. Lee probably rs excelled to strategy. Aa moral courage it to tactka to is strategy to the an-

swer. You will have to solve thai for yourself. The person wrote back that he couldn't work it out." "Most people," the General continued after « brief pause, "wouldn't have much trouble. Moral conrge outranks I S strategy." d "General, what did the disagreement 1 between you and Mr. Davis grow out R of— your course in politics after the ® war ? " was asked. * "Oh I no," said the general. "It I ° started with the talk we had on Mission. L ary lt'dgc after the battle of Chicka- " amauga. We talked pretty much all one day about the situation. I told him e: plainly 'the cause' was lost ; that 1 con- * sldereil It was almost criminal to go on '■ - fighting. That made him angry." a "General Joseph E. Johnston had " Bome trouble in convincing Mr. l>avis i " thst further fighting was useless, even " after the fall ol Richmond ?" "Yea," said General Longatreet, laugh- li I tog. "Mr. Davis never did give up 'the . 11 ! cause' as entirely lost. He expects to | ° j be President yet. It is strange that a j R i of his ability should cling to such j ( I a position as ho does. He it sensible j " , j about many things. He writes on most i '' ^ j subjects, but he can't get the idea into ' j his bis bead of giving up 'the cause." ' >-•_ s I : Tho Boy Raised the Wind. Half a dozen small boys, Including ' one In a faded district messenger uniform, stood on a Third Avenue corner s on a recent afternoon in New York (lis- c cussing the merits of certain cigarettes i displayed to a cigar store window and I j bewilling the the fact that he had no • money to buy any of the tempting ar- I ® rpy. Aa they stood there a street band « of half a dozen instruments stopped be- ' fore the corner saloon. Tbo leader S ranged bis men along the curb, marked 1 ' time in the air with his comet and then c f blew through its brazen throat a shrill < waltz, to which the other instruments joined. The boya listened attentively 1 through the waltz, and then as the band I * started in on a rattling polka an idea struck the boy in the faded messenger ' uniform. Taking off his hat be slipped ' into a liquor store and passed It around t among the loungers, where he collected ' a nickel or two. Then he put on his I bat, slipped ont; and went Into a fancy store. The music was not bad for a I street band the boy was lucky again. ' Then he went into a meat market, ' where be was so lncky that he became i a overbold and came out on the street, < hat to hand, and began collecting of the crowd on the sidewalk. ' ^ He was doing remarkably well wben 1 ihe regular collector of the hand sawa < ' him and act up an angry yell. The' * polka waa cut abort off In the middle of 1 c Its liveliest strain, anil the band started 0 in a wild but unsuccessful chase after • „ the boy. Ten mlno'es later, when the 1 band had gone and the neighborhood had become quiet, the boy came back, I and after baying three packs of dgarlt ettea, related with Impllsb glee how he i had "beat de blokes out of d ere collection." n - - — T Two young ladies were driving to 'the * Park when their horsea took fright and r. dashed madly away. b- "Oh, Ethel I" ahrieked one, t'atop s- him; we shall be thrown ont I" ,e "Never mind," replied Ethel with »et o teeth and courageous grip on the reins, lj "if Uta wont-oomns to the worst and we -f are thrown out, Pre got a paper of aafea- ty pins in my pocket."

An Inquisitive American. j An American, sight seeing in Europe, (,| gives his uiind to his work, which is to y. do the places of interest. In order to 9( gratify his curiosity, he sometimes ilisrc- , Sards the proprieties, and accosts the man he meets, if he thinks him cap- , able of serving as a guide book. One I of these American tourlsu, whilo in heard of the famous place A which Baron Rotliseliiid was building. He went to see it, and was fortunate enongb to meet the master builder, who , 'showed him over Ihe building. Ater he c| a portry old gcnlleman, whom he saw c, watching the workmen, with "Good I morning, sir." The man bowed politely, j without speaking. | "I'm a stranger," the American con- j i tinucd. thinking be might be speaking to the contractor; "I've been looking R ! this building, and I should like to r, j ask you for some information." , j "1 ahull be happy to oblige you." said „ old gentle malt, and he told the Am p erican many interesting facts about the p |, "I suppose you have seen Rothschild, g sir?" said the American. v "Which one?" c "The old cock." ( "I sec the old cock every day," an- , swered the old man, eying the Amcri- , "1 should like to have a look at him ! r People say he Is a gray old chap and t liyes high. I wish I had him in my , Pd not let him up till he had , shelled out a pllo of his money." , The American rattled on, and the old j gentleman laughed heartily. When there c a pause he remarked, "Baron Roths- j child had to work for his money, and ,, deserves to enjoy it." "Maybe so, " said the Amcriran, "bnt ( I reckon he did a heap of squeezing to ( get it." , The old man'a face flushed, aa he said , stiffly, "1 never heard the honesty of , the house called in question." "Didn't yon? Well, to tell the '• truth, neither have I. But I wouldn't , be surprised If I'm right, after all." The old man's face grew black, and bit his lip, but he said nothing. J "People tell me," continued the American, "that the Rothchilda have made two fortunes. Now, I'd like to learn the way the thing was done." „ | "I csn tell you," replied the old man, \ smiling,. "People say the house of < made one fortune by being ' careful to mind their own buklncs*, and | ' The other by letting that of others alone. , ' Good morning, air." 1 Ana the old gentleman left the Amcri- j staring at him, and went to the , , other end of Ihe building. ] "Can you tell me tbo name of lhatold c gentleman?" asked the American of 1 1 , handsome young man who waa looking : at the building. , "That Ib Baron Rothschild." "Then I've got myself Into a scrape I" , exclaimed the mortlflcd American, and , ! told the young man what had occurred. "That was awkward," the young man , remarked, after a hearty laugh. | ' "He's a crusty old chap, he's as eroes , ( as a bear," continued the vexed Ameri. , "Oh, that is only his 'way; he is a j kind hearted man. butallltleeccentric," said the young man. "Do yon kndw Baron Roucbild ? \ Inquired tbc American.

"I have met him. several limes, and 1 have an appointment to wall on hint to- , day." "Then 1 wish you'd say to him that I not know to whom 1 was talking _ much ; ami that he need nut have ^ budloh about it." "I nill do anl he will be the first to ' at ihe adventure, when he bears ( 1 your cxylanalioif. TTRod morning." Just then a workman passed, and the asked him the name of the ■ young gentleman "That was one of the younger Rothschild." said the workman. The Ameri. was afraid'.to speak to n stranger for a week, for fear he might be a Roths- . child.— Youth' t Companion , When Boards Were Not Worn. I So imperative is fashion that now-a- 1 one. must give a reus m for appear- ' ing with a amoothly shaven face, where- \ forty years ago one bad to give a ' reason for wearing a moustache. Those were the days when moustaches were : scarcely worn except by foreigners and by military officers, and even by them rarely. For an American in civil a moustache was a complete dis. guise. Once a young man from Boston, who went into the ministry and took a church in a thriving town down towards Cod, had been, prior to his call to theological pursuits, extremely fond of the drama, and the old Trcmont Theatre was his favorite haunt. lie could not entirely get over the hankering for the theatre, and one time when he came to Boston, he ss far yielded to tempta. lion as to put on a false moustache and go to the theatre, where he spent an evening in entire delight. As he was coming out, however, lie met some old friends, who recognized him in •spite of hia disguise, and saluted him by name, with looks of wonder in their He had no notion of being identified however. It is only the first step that costs, and the young parson had taken that. "Pardon, zhenticmen," said he, with a profound bow ; "vot you say? I no spik Inglisa very veil." They apologized and passed on. Tbey thought, of course, that only a foreigner would wear a beard on his upper lip ! And the moustached clergyman was ssfe. The Verdlot Unanimous. W. D. Suit.

An Editor's Luck. iie oot men iuokisg ii okxz.nhacks Several year, anterior to 1888 1 had assistant editor hy the name of Rockctt^ -Frank Y. liockctt, the Y standing Yorick, I suppose, though If It did not, It ought to have dono so, Bince he was a fellow of infinite jest, a very correct writer, a poet of much originality and a genl^pmau of hijh tone and high principles, but sensitive aud fastidious as a woman. He was considerably older than myself, and when the war came, having always been a strong Whig and Union man, he remained in Memphis after Its conquest the federals and took no part In the Woody "wrestle" between the North and Ills health was bad; he was utterly unfit for the hardships of a soldier's life, and though anything but a coward fighting was not his forte. While the war was going on— as he afterwards ' told me— he found It a desperate strugglo to live for somo months, although , being a bachelor always, he had no one | to provide for but himself. Indeed, he I was only rescued from actual beggery by one of those accidents or apeclal providences— call it what you will— which you would not be able to guess In a thousond trials.. 1 The city was crowded with Federal r soldiers, nearly all of Grant's army being there to be paid off. He said that j on the morning after the first batch was f paid off he rose very early, as was his habit, and was sauntering down the main street, immediately after the dawn j of day, without a cent in his pocket, j lean, ragged ana hungry, and not know. ing how and where to get his next food, I when in the neighborhood of the paymaster's offlce and still nearer an allnight saloon he spied on the sidewalk a 'r number of wads of green pape?, which, on picking up. he found to be grecnbacks. Tbat morning his treasure 1 trove amounted to nearly $800. „ This money, of course, had been dropped by the drunken soldiers paid off the (lay before while growling and fighting among themselves "the night before. ' Restitution was, of course next to Im- ' possible and said Rockett. under the circumstances hardly to be thought of 8 by a Southerner; at any rate he confiscated it as contraband ot war._ From this tunc on to the close of the wat he . said ho lived like a fighting cock and dressed like Solomon in all his glory. ' The only toiling and spinning he did j was to follow the example of the early " bird and give the main street and front j sidewalk a close inspection before any B one was stirring every morning after e army pay day. He rarely picked up less than $100 and sometimes hit findings • were over $800. J Portuguese Man of War. - In the Gulf of Mexico there are communities of jelly flsh so organized that they seem to constitute one »"i"tsl The j whole has been given the name of Portuguese man of war. The community " consists of a beautiful crested air sac, ' only a few inches in length, floating on the water, from which atrtltn are a number of long appendages. The differ. D cnt parts are so many different kinds of members of this animal community, all I tildng different functions. Borne catch u and eat food, others produce buds, and ig others are the locomotive or swimming I. members, having tentacles In some cases thirty feet long.
