It seems that General Kilpatrick, the Federal cavalry commander, hod cap tured a number of Confederates, and Wright was anxiona to reacne them. He j called for volunteers to go with him into the enemy's camp at night and picked out the men . he needed from those who responded. The Federal troopers were snoozing quietly in thwir camp and on both sides uf the road leading to it, and their pris oners dozed by a Are near the center. Jnst how they got there would be hard to explain, bnt shortly after mid night Gib Wright, at the hood of a few men, rode at a gentle pace into the camp. The drowsy Federals took them for a party of their own men returning from a soont, aud paid no attention to them. Everything was working smoothly nntii one of the prisoners caught a glimpse of the newcomers The fellow lost his head and ruined the whole business. He leap ed to his feet and looked into the faces of the advancing Confederates “ Hurray, boys I” he shouted in hit delirious delight. “ Hang me, if there ain’t old Gib Wright and his crowd. Darned if the whole Confederate army ain’t right behind him ," The prisoners all rushed forward with the regular rebel yell, and the sleeping Federals suddenly became very wide awake. From every side they showered bullets on their visitors, and Wright and his men had almost a miraculous deliverance. Several were killed and wounded, bnt the leader and the ma jority of the party managed to get away.—Atlanta Constitution. Oattlag Vg. The Duke of Wellington slept on aa iron camp bedstead 18 inches wide aud argued that “ when a man wants to tarn over it ia time to turnou t.” Edward Everett Hale quotes this remark of the duke in the “ Ten Times One Record” and takes issue with him. “ The prin ciple is well enough, “ says Dr. Hals, “ but I think the detail is wrong. Sleep is far too important to be made uncom fortable. ’• Dr. Hale goes on to tell of various ingenious devices for automat ically waking a sleeper. A friend of bis fixed his alarm so that at the foreordain ed moment tho bedclothes were dragged from the bed. The same gentleman found another contrivance which work ed better. “ The alarm struck a match, which lighted the lamp which boiled tlio water for Rossiter's shaving. If Rossiter staid in bod too long, the wa ter boiled over upon his razor and clean shirt and the prayer hook his mother gavo him and Coleridge’s autograph and his open pocketbook aud all the other pracions things he coaid put in a basin underneath when ho went to bed; so he had to get up before that moment came."

The London Graphic tells tin follow ing story about Hans Richter in an arti cle on coudnctore: Dr. Richter’s popularity with his men is easily intelligible, for while nothingeecapes his arguatyed vigilance be always recognizes aud acknowledges good work.

Baud aud conductor loct tench for several tmrs, and when the piero was ended Dr. Richter signaled to the orchestra to piny tbe overture again from the beginning Thia time everything went without a bitch, and at the close Dr. Richter turned round, and addressing the andi- enco mid, "Ladies aud geuUemcn, the mistnkowHs mine, not the orchesti.-.’s. “ a generous admission which provoked a salvo of applause.

Jsea Rlshenla** Oaraea The story of how be oame to adopt a literary career ia sufficiently piotnreaqoe. For some time he had picked np a pre- oarions livelihood by doing “ odd joba," Including such prosaic occupations as that of bootblack and onstml porter on tbe Qual Marseilles. One day be was engaged by a gentleman to carry to tbe railway station a heavy trunk. Arrived at the station, there was aa instant mutual recognition. They were old ool- lege chains. “ What are yon doing here?" asked his friend. “ Carrying your trank, I he!leva,” said Jean. “ Why do you do this?” “ Because I m ust.” " Where do yon live?” “ C one and see, ” replied Richepin. The future dramatist took his friend to his dwelling—a miserable room in an attio in the poorest quarter of the town. Upon the table lay scattered heaps of manuscripts—Jean's incursions in the realms of poetry when the more prosaic duties of the day were over. Looking through them, his friend was astounded at their quality. “ Why do yon carry trunks and blacken hoots when yon can do work like this?’' be asked. Richepin had never given the matter a thought; he had never deemed these prodnots of idle hours worthy of publication pub lished they were, however, in a very few weeks and created an immense sensation. From that moment Jean Richepin has never looked back. — West minster Gazette.
