d. y told this story of Monowall Jack
son, says tbo Atlanta Constitution:
It was during ilia va'.ley campaign, I
atid a ladle was expected within a day
or two, though Jackson's plans were s>■ !
carefully guarded tliat nut even lit* ad
jutant could guess thorn intelligently.
Tbjs setf.reliance was characteristic of
Jaukson, and aversion to telling his
plans were well known among his officers
aud men. In fact, it wa- bis policy
to surprise liis own mm no less than to
surprise the enemy.
General Jackson was one of a group
of officers, and another of tlio group was
a Georgia Colonel who is still living.
Conversation was dragging. Jackson
was thoughtful aud had litile to say,
and the effect wa> dampening. Finally,
to revive the conversation, the Georgian
Colonel asked abruptly:
"General, fill we bavo a fight to
mot row!"
Hvciybody knew in an instant that
the blunder was irreparable, aud nobody
realized this more than the lolonel.
Jackson turned quiokh ijnd stared
lull in the speaker'* face, Then be
slowly surveyed the Colonelol froii) hea l
to fogt aud back again.
The silence was painful.
••I'olonel, '(said the General nlowly,
but not in an unkind tone, 'lean you
keep a secret!"
-Yea, General," was the warm if
e.iibarru-s?d assurance, "J know I
can, (jcneri'l. Yes, sir."
"Are you fjuilo certain, Colonel/"
"I am f|nite certain, Genera!."
•(Well, Uo'onel," in the satne quiet,
even tunc, f'su can 1, sir."
7"he Cukiiel'n face Hushed crimson
nud there wan a deathly a lence fur a

"•Now, I," said Jackson, with
MOiue fotilimj, »/hat rudttiuss uf nunc
hurt me as luueh as it did yuu, hut 1
trust that IT has taught you a valuable
lemon. If we do have a tight tii-iuirrow,

A Har //arbor letter iu the Sew York
Mall uud Expiess Contains the following.
A goud story is told of a gcniicmao
well known in New York, who is stop
ping uot over a hundred linlus from the
ishcrinau cottage, lit sent his man to &
bar bur chop to have an artist come to
the house the uoxt morning and pbave
hi lit. Bright and early the barber ar
rived, and, ringing the bell explaiuod to
the ssrvant who answered it that Li had
coiuo to shave a corpse, and roentioued
the naiuo of the gentleman who had sent
for bun. He was shown up to the gen
tleman's apartments, and wittiout more
ado entered, nud findiug the gentleman
asleep proceeded to shave him. Hut
thinking that a dead man would not
complain if the razor did pull a little
ho bad uot brought his best tools with
him, so that his victim was soon aroused
and glared at his tormentor. The bar
ber lied precipnalcly from tbe house and
1 it was some time befoic an uuderstand
j iug could be arrived at.
It seems now that the terms pre
scribed by the Leader for the dismissal
of the case against Sheriff Hoskins, that
