The place w.s ■ turned over to the army which construct- 1 od heavy earthworks in addition to 1 those which the Confederates bad built ' before its surrender. Extensive bar- 1 racks, machine shops, ordinance store ' bouses, and many cottages were put up, 1 the place assuming a most important character as the Headquarters of Ibc 1 department ot the South. In the Irail I traders and civilians who set up eslabtablish.ncnts in their respective lines. I These wiUi the officers, some of them ! having their families, formed a town of 1 no mean proportions.

Sutiiera, traders, and claim agents were there In 1 force plying tliclr respective callings I and reaping a rich harvest from the im- 1 provident expenditures of sailors and : The (lost garrisons had taken advan* ■ tagc of odd bits of lime and built a com. 1 modloua ball in which dramatic and ran- > slcal talent found expression as oppor- ( tunity ottered. It was a ntde structure 1 of unplained boards, and uncusliioncd ■eats. The stage scenery was tye vrotjt j 1 the paraphernalia behind Hit- scenes had ' its origin in the same direction. There 1 was the pa'ent rain, a tin cylinder io Whirle I about, yielding a sound as of rain drops on (lie roof ; the thunder < came along when wanted by the vigor, ous pounding of a slab of boiler iron. I The proscenium boxes were generally j i couragcd these pastimes of the soldiers , ' when the public service was u.t made to ! ' suffer by tllem. It was in this building , I that the New Hampshire minstrels were ! I invited by Headquarters' folks at Hilton j I Head to give a performance.

It being 1 1 Just after Genera!

There woro some bibulous I _ persons in our company. The clog dancer, first violin and middle man be- I with provost marshal at Hilton Head i that a guard should be stationed about the Hall while the minstrel men were doing up the program, so that no grog should interfere with the success of the ~ performance. Every detail had been ^ apparently looked after when the troupe came on shore on a certain evening ia June '03, to fulfill iU engagement. • There bad been a big demand for tickets w and complimentary invitations were is. sued lo all the prominent people within the radius of the post's Jurisdiction. Tbo house was packed, many ladies Imlng - of the audience. ~ In due time the enrtain was raised; and the Company played the overture

to the great delight of spectators. Fol- b lowing came the minstrel performance h and that went off firit-class with the ex- a ception that I Dticcd an unnsual lire in ' eye of the interlocutor and clog s dancer. He seemed to be altogether to f emphatic in the vigor of his steps. My suspicions were aroused and none too t soon, for there bad been a big jug of t Battler's whiskey smuggled in lichiml ' the scenes out of which those who liked t had lnbibed freely before it was dlscov- ( ercd. The curtain finally went dawn I on the first part of the program amid t great applauK, and a nervous dread on ' my part that something waa about to i happen not on the bills. And so it proved for when the curtain again ex- I posed the stage one ha'f the company i half teas over, and the anticipated ! catastrophe of a collapse was the result. It happened ic the first part of a roaring The leading character had to be carried off the stage; mother wanted 1 to fight.

In the meantime the house been cleared by all except roughs, ladies leaving at i he first indication of a fuss. The performance ended In a tremendous panorama, not on the bills. I worked tbe balance of the night with the provost guard to get the company together, but did not wholly succeed, some of linm getting away with their fiddles anil banjos. 1 heard afterwards that Ibet >t ink oat in the country and | fiddled their way North. This coded i by experience aa an fetja-moria, tbe badi- : nage I was subject to afterwards, conj visdng me folly that my efforts at divert- . log the department was not one of mj duties. ii. w: Haul Vanity and jtalonsy are tbe two weakest passions in the human heart, and, xtmuge to tell, they are the most oom-

The Yankee Skipper and the Fun- [ It seems, according to the olii sTory- t , that years ago tlie captain of a ^ , New England coistcr determined to dls- 0 . coverthe exact local fon of "Down East." j, i At every port he visited, from Cape Cod . Iloothbay. the inhabitants all denied s , that "they" lived there, and, when asked r I where "Down East" was, only poin'cd i, . mysteriously up tlie coast. Finally, t > when the skipper of the "Dancing PolF' 8 received a cargo of goods for Grand v t Pre, he was highly pleased, thinking . that at last "Down East" wculd be „ I found.— for. In those days, Nova Scotia I „ ( was considered "the Jumping-off place." 8 One line spring morning, tlie schooner | . got under way, and sailed merrily up j f tlie coast of Maine. Fair westerly J 1 winds favored them, and on the second , a day they entered the famous Bay of t t Fundy , or Fond do la Bale, as the French j 1 call It. r . The skipper had never beard of the r f lng morning, the mouth of the Mlnas J , Channel appeared on the right shore, , " and he was soon under the shadows of \ . the old Acadian hills. , The rich green fields and the villages , , alongshore socmetl to give a friendly , ■ greeting ; and eaplain and crew decided j I region. \ But l ick is tickle ; and as I bey were j . b mllii,- along, up the basin proper, , . they rclt a sudden Jar, then heard a | . scraping sound ; and a moment later | . "The Dancing Polly ' waa aground, an- , B der full sail. , 1 The small-boat was put out with a , ! and the sails were braced this , I way and that, but all to no purpose,- , f the boat was aground hard anil fast, tlie , j tide was going out. nail skipper and , , "crew" would have to wait uhtil the , ( was quit-* lite in the day. ami ere long . r the captain. an,d the cook, the great , . Newfoundland dog. and a yellow and- , . j black cat. who constituted the "crow." | , awakened by the dog* aoil when he ' >! crawled out of bis berth, lie found the , . ' floor of tlie cabin so aslant that li e had ( . to scramble on all fours to reach tbe < . The schooner was evidently ■ - over. But the captain had ex. I r pcctcd this, anil made Ills way on deck i as beat lie could. ,| Was he dreaming? He certainly > j thought so ; and then, having suimc 1 > doubts, he reached over anil gently r touched the yeilow-and-black cat's tail. 1 I I An answering wail assured him that he ' . awake, nnd that he and the "Dane. r I Polly*~wcro really somewhere high " t in mid-air. < I The bewildered skipper crept to the . : rail, his nstomshmeot all the while In- 1 creasing. The broad stream of the ilsy ' i bail vanished. Not a drop of ■ water was in nglit. but fir below him ' i which pigs were rooting and grunting i For tome time the skipper stood and ' 5 looked ; tlion, noticing the cook stand- < r by and. like him'elf, lost in wonder, I said: ' t "Wal, John. I reckon we've reached I . here at last. " t "Reached where ? " exclaimed the < t "Down East." replied the old man, 1 b solemnly. 5 "It looks more like 'up East' and on b a powerful high* perch, moreover," rer tortcd the cook ; "and I'm for silking I b inshore." • The two men started forward, nnd 1 . they aoon found that the schooner was s resting on a great ledge of reck like a i- tower thai rose out of the mud. Lowern ing a rope over the side, they let i o themselves down upon the rock, and I g even then were several feet from the muddy surface. I; The great pedestal upon which they e stood was covered With olive-hued and ,

black weeds, which concealed Innumerable iiar-flshcs, sea-urchins and shells, and it gradually dawned upon Utem lhal "The Dancing Polly" had not been transported inland, but that tlie water had gone' seaward and left them. How toiget down was tlie next question, and after a debate about leaving ' tbe dog And cat, the two men finally i manage*^ slide, slip, and scramble to I the plain below, and through mod walsL . doep floundered to the shore, where i they were received with roars of taugliI by a group of fine-looking Acad tans, i who had been watching their descent > and their difficult progress, t Then and there, the Yankee navigator - first heard of the Fundy tides ; and sev- ; eral hours later, from the deck of tlie 1 craft, he saw the "bore" come in : . —first a small stream, growing rapidly wider and deeper until the entire basin 1 was filled with the surging water* that rose higher and higher, until finally I "The Dancing Polly'' floated free, and , once more nailed away in the direction . of Grand Pre.— St. Nicholas for Feb- , ro«ythis most valuable jii-rlodlcal presents whatever is new in tbe world of science, a art, and manufactures.

Save Your Dimes. Two young men walked into a cigar store the other day, and one of them and paid for two cigars. The cigars cost ten cents each, and the man who sold them handed back, in change the silver dollar that bad been tenhim, eighty cents in ten cent pieces. Thereupon one of the young laughed vociferously, and the other, who bought Ute cigars, pocketed the eight dimes, with an expression spproaching chagrin, and said: "Just my by George. However," mid he, after lighting his cigar, "if there's any , more spending to be done, old.fellow, you've got to do it, for I'm broke." When the young man left tbe store cigar man turned to a reporter who witnessed tbe transaction and aald: "l)o you know what that means?" "No." "It means thai tho young fellow who the cigars is at tlie same time eighty cents ahead and eighty cents beHe is ahead in money that he will save, and behind in money that he probably wanted to use to-day." "I don't understand you." "Well, the young man has simply caught the dime saving craze." "And what is the dime saving craze?" "Thciclicmo ia never to spend a dime. waa probably devised for the benefit of thrtftlcsa people who arc not able to save their money in a tegular way, and i a plan of saTlng money it is the best i I ever heard of. You make up your , mind to keep every dime tbat comes . your possession. You are never to part with a tcn cent piece under any dri cumstanccs. Whenever you leceive a : dime in change put it away, and when . you get home place it in a receptacle ; safe kccplug. Tbe more dime* you . get in change the greater your savings i will lie. You arc to make any sacrifice ; rather than to part with one dime. If i have nothing but dimes in your pocket when you want a cigar, go without the cigar. II you want lunch and lisvc nothing but dimes, go without If you have only a dime In your pocket and want to ride borne on a brace up and walk; the result will asto ish you." — Button Globe. Sherman on Grant at Spotsylvania. Ill the February Century General contributes an article on "The Grand Strategy of the War," from which we quote tlie following; "With the month ol May, came the season for ac. Hon, and by Uie 4th all liis armlet were in motion. The army of Butler at Fort waa-his left, Meade's army the center, and Sherman at Clialtaaooga his right. Butler was to move sgalnst Richmond on th? south or James River, Btraight against Lee, intrenched the lfapidsn, and Sherman to attack Joe Johnson and push him to and Atlanta. This was as far as huforesight could penetrate. Though Meade commanded the Army ot the PoGeneral Grant substantially controlled it, and on the 4th of May, 18M, crossed the Rapidan. and at noon next day attacked Lee. He knew that certain amount of fighting, 'killing, • lo be done to acoomplish bts end, and also to pay the penalty of former I failures. In the 'wilderness' there was no room for grand strategy, or even > minor tactics; bnt the fighting was desperate, tbe losses lo the Union army being, according to Phisterer, 87,787, to I the Confederate loss of 11,400— tbe difference due to Lee's inttcnchments and > the blind nature of the country In which i the battle was fought. On the night of May 7th both parlies paused, appalled s by the fearful slaughter; but General Grant commanded 'Forward by the left : Hank.' Tbat was, In my judgment, the supreme moment of his life: undismayed, t with a full comprehension of the work . V In which ho was engaged, feeling u keen a sympathy for Ms dead and wounded as any one, and without stopping to count his numbers, be gave his orders . calmly, specifically, sod absolutely— 'Forward to Spotsylvania.'
