the battlefield, to all appearances,
lifeless. Obituary notices appeared
afterward in i.early all the papers ol
the country, so convinced were the
brother officers o the impossibility ot
his surviving such a terrible wound.
For weeks he lay at the brink ol
death in iho neighborhood of the
liiilllelield, and his cures seems little
short of a miracle. The army sur
geons had given him over for death
when a Mexican doctor said he would
live if he removed the coagulated
blood from the woubd. Shields, ss a
kill or cun remedy, told him to try,
and a fine silk handkerchief was
worked in and finally drawn through
the wound, removing the extravaHate
blood, when daylight could be seen
through the hole. He lived to be
hale ar.d hearty, free from discaso or
any inconvenience from the wound,
which was considered at that tiue
mortal.

"This is itio editor."
'"Indeed! Aro they very danger

"Sometimes. When cornered up
they tiave been known to bo quite
combaliye, and again they have been
known to go through a convenient
back window. Generally they aro
mild and passive."
"When are they most dangerous?"
"When intruded upon by a book
tgent who wants a forty line local
for a leventv tivo cent book, or by
poets with verses about gentle
Spring." -
"Are editors cross to each?"
''Ouly when Brparated by aaveral
blocks of buildings."
"Do they often have fearful com
bats with each other?"
"Occasionally when they go out
in opposite dir ctions, and come upon
each other by accident."
"Are cditon ever cowhided?"
"Sometimes tho small ones are, but
tho big ones are very rarely moles'
cd."
"Do editors cat?"
"They do. It was formerly iup
posed that limy ale at long intervals
and upon rare occasions, but it is now
a well authenticated fact that they
can eat n good deal when they can
get it."
"What kind ol food do they like
most?"
"They are not very particular.
While ilicy won't refuse quail on
toast, tried crad or roast turkey about
Christmas lime, they have been known
to make a harty repast off a dish of
cold turnips and a consumptive bir
ring." "Can they eat concert tickets." ,
"We believe not. Somo people
have gained this continuous impress

but ho authenticated iustauce as inch
a thing is on record."
"Do editors go free into shows?"
'They do when they givo dollar
and a half locals for a twenty-five

"Are all editors bald, like this one?"
"No; only tho married enea are
bald. But let us pass on; the editor
