Major Tom Williams some time ago
told me the story of one of Colonel Gib
Wright’e adventures in South Carolina
in the closing months of the war.
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. A fow years ago, while he
was conducting—from memory, as usual
—ono of Iirahin’s overtures nt St.
James’ hall, “ a strango thing happen-
od, ” aa Mr. Haggard used to say. 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.

“ Tush, tush,” remarked a third.
“ F ive’s the number, yon mean. A man
has five fingers on bis hand and five
toes on his foot, aud be has five senses,

“ Three ia undoubtedly the magic
number," interrupted another, “ be-
tanae peoplo give three ehoers and Jonah a.

This was reoeived with some oou-
tempt by the company, and a aonlfnl
yonth gushed ont:
“ Two, oh, two la the magio number.
Oneself and one other—the adored one!
Jnst us two I”
A hard featured individual, who bad
been listening to the oouversatiou hith­
erto nuwovad, here remarked iu u harsh
voice:
“ The magio number is N a 1 in thia
world, aud if yon want to succeed never
forget it. “
An interval of deep thought on the
part of all followed, after which they
went in silently to sapper.—Brooklyn

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
