Anecdotes of the Southern Soldiers of the Civil War Resurrected from Old Publications. Lexington Dispatch. Mr. W. B. Ha timer, of this place has quite a valuable file of the magazines, "The Land We Love" and "Our Living and Our Dead," publications of the years succeeding the war, devoted to the Confederate Veterans, discus sions of the war, etc. He has kindly loaned a number of them to us and from them we have taken a few jokes and anecdotes which may prove entertaining to the old soldiers, especially. At the battle of Chicamauga a body of troops, in making an ad vance toward the enemy, fouud it necessary to change front. As the left of the brigade swung around and through a yard in which shell- were bursting plen tifully, an old negro ran out of tie of the houses frightened al most to death, and raising both hands he cried out, "De blessed Lawd, white folks, why doan you stop shootin' an' argyfy wif one anoder!" al work.

OSce Unnrs Hli:k(..r, On. i p-Jetep. . One afternoon of the battle of Chaneellorsvllle, General Mc Laws' division was sent to hold Sedgwick in check. He uit the enemy at Salem Church and in the disposition of troops, the 9th Alabama was placed in reserve ofthelOth. The enemy charged in t !me lints r,nd in the face of a hi-Hvy volley from the lQih, pushed that regiment back a few paces. Whereupon the 9th rose and fired a destructive volley. The blaecoats then flea, ,md were pursued a short way. Among the prisoners brought back was a wart;ih Mlow, who, when they reahd u p-M?i vhere l he dt; la hi f.-t. -..n ;md said, "You rebs are sharper than vou used -to be you used to shoot us anywhere; but now you sb.oot.U8 in the head so as not to bloody our clothes," alluding to the practice of the Confederates of taking Yankey uniforms to cover their own nakedness. A german named Seidel was cook fora Confederate general during the war. He took the field with the first trqops and re mained until the closing scenes around Appomattox courthouse, where he was not paroled with other distinguished personages, for the simple reason that he escaped before the cordon was drawn too tight. He was a pastry cook by profession, but j for four hug vears had little ex cuse for exercising his knowledge in that direction, save occasion ally when some yankee sutlers wagon fell into his hands. He 1 not an idle life, however, and uis skill was taxed often to the uttermost to provide a meal for his general. At Sharpsburg his difficulties in producing a meal from the scantiest materials reached a climax. He had noth ing hut seme green corn and slices taken f om a cow killed by Federal artillerymen -as she grazed in the pasture. With this he intended to get up a dinner for his chief and went into. his Litchen where he had an excellent cooking stove. He put the !torn hii I beef in bi pot together and prof eded to boil them. Later he did other tilings wmcti are best recounted in his own words.

At the battle of Wilson Creek, Missouri, the Missouri state troops were a ragged, barefoot ed set of fellows and were on the lookout for "better ments" of their condition. As they had to march over pretty rough roads,- they particularly wished something to" protect their feet. When the above bat tle was at its highest, a tall red headed fellow advanced beyond the line to get free from the smoke so as to make a better shot. He aimed with great de liberation at a particular man, similarly advanced, and when he saw him fall he shouted in great glee, "Them's my shoes." After that the great battler cry of the Missouri soldiers was, "Them's my 3hoes." At the battle of Kinston, tha Junior reserves, made up of lads under 18, were sent to force the crossing of South West vCreek and drive the enemy away, so as to make good the passage of other troopo. This they did very handsomely, but encountering a severe fire, a portion of one regiment sought-a safer place. As they were streaming away they met the wits of Pettus' Ala bama brigade and were greeted with shouts of laughter by them. A general officer in no laughing mood at their behavior, took steps to stop the disorder and with his own hands seized one ot the fugitives. . . "What are you .running for?" he asked. "0, genet al," replied the Jun ior, "the yankees are shooting at us." "Why didn't you shoot back, then?" demanded .the general, "aintybu ashamed of yourself, crying like a bahy?" The Junior, blubbering, wish I was a baby. O, I wish was a gal baby!" in from the rear, mad as a hor netr When the major made his speech, he had nothing to say Itiff: f Vtk tnf iaq f ion uurl liia im and he raised himself in his stir rups, singing out in a weak, shrill voice, "Heroes of Shiloh and Perryville, stop running, or I'll blow jour brains out in a- bout two minutes." There lived in the summer of 1862, on the Mechaufcsville Turn pike, near Richmond, a gener ous, hospitable, whose-souled Virginia gentleman, who, how ever, was very passionate, excit able, and who, when flurried, was apt to mix up the reverential and the profane, the sublime and the ridiculous, in a very absurd and Hughable way. He had given everything be could spare to the Confederate government, but had reserved a ten a:re lot of corn for bis own use and this he guaided with unceasing vigil ance. One day while on watch SCOTT & BOWNE, !

At th'i beginning of the war when a regiment was being or ganized, Judge Blank, an old man, a prominent and talented lawyer, was chosen major. His efforts to learn the tactics vei i fled the old saying that you can not teach an old dog new tricks He was very deaf and in re-ccho- ing the colonel's comiiumds on drill would sometimes make very laughable mistakes.

Tell your audience that it i3 in your power to place any person present in the middle of the room and draw a circle around him, out of which, although his leers and arms are free, it will be impossible for him to escape without taking his coat off. "I shall uso absolutely no force to detain you," you must say, "and I shall not bind you in any way, but an the same, you will not be able to get out of the ring, struggle as you will, without partially undressing." Your audience will be considera bly puzzled, and some one is sure to offer to be put in the magic rmg. Place the person in the middle of the room, blindfold him, button up his coat, and then take a piece of white chalk and draw a line right around his waist outside his coat. When the handkerchief has been taken off his eyes he will see that it is impossible for him to get out of the ring" without taking off his coat, and the audience will laugh heartily at the joke. The Cunning Spider. The spider, which in cunning is the fox of the insect kingdom, has a genius for escaping from its ene mies. The harelike trick of dou bling on its track is an old one, but a big black and yellow species named the Nephila plumpis that belongs to the frank family that hangs its web m plain sight has a brilliant plan not so well known. Does a bird ap pear? Nephila plumpis does noth ing so undignified as to run. She 6imply vanishes, stands right where she was, but disappears. She shakes her webs, so violently that instead of a web the bewildered bird sees only a silvery, tremulous haze that shakes so constantly that the pur suer goes home to his nest to nurse a headache. A Buzzard and a Bat. Put a buzzard in a pen about six feet square and open at the top, and it is as much a prisoner as if it were shut up in a box. This is because buzzards always begin their flight by taking a short run, and they can not or will not attempt to fly unles3 they can do so. Nor can a bat rise from a level surface. It is remark ably nimble in its flight when once it is on the wing "and can fly for hours at a time without rest, but if placed on the floor or on flat ground cannot possiDiy use its wings. The only thing it can do is to shuf fle helplessly along until it reaches some trifling elevation from which it can throw itself into the air, when it goes off like a flash. Conundrums.
