mont, in that county, week before last Mrs
Ulackweips age was about 32. She was
ah agreeable lady and widely known in

j :ty e were fniX in Jrmter Quarters, and
hi(f dav b and" days of ' nothurjfto do. I
did tiot play cards, .but my tentmate did. .
He a'so had three spe ial friends who
played, and thoir meeting place was in
my tent There they met day after day
in the juorn'ng, in the afternoon and in
Che evening until late at night Our tent
was built for permanent quarters. In one
end we made a door eighteen inches wide
by .three feet nigh. On tho opposite side
was a fireplace built oulsiile of small
sticks, like stone work, and covered in
side with clay mortar. - '
The bovs, as usual, were at their cards.
I took a frlendlnlo my counsels, and we
procured a shell which had blown the load
out witli'MUt bursting. Wc fastened into
this shcll a long fuse. 1 then told my
friend to fco away several reds to an empty
dry goods box, and strike upon it so as to
cannon. "Hark!"sa:d one, "d'you hear
that? That 8 from Lee's batteiy on the

Just .thcu "booai." went the old dry

shell, . with the burning fuse, ..down
the ! chimney., i : The ' shell fell, : upon
the fire and rolled under the " bunk
on which the boys were sitting. "Ten

bbys thought it a message' direct ltrom
Lee's batteiy. Two tried to jump through
the door at the same time, and blocked up
the narrow door so that neither was ab'e
to get out A full evacuation of the tent
was finally effected and a retreat made
not, however, in good order. No one
was killed: but the boys waited behind
distant trees for more than thirty mortal
minutes momentarily expecting to sec the
tent blown to atoms.. After a while these
heroes came together, and in the council

A small volume of statistics, showing
the work done by the postoXces of the

.re available, there Wcreln Europe 65,509
receiving officers, 41,500 telegraph offices
and 25,003 letter boxes. The total num
ber of persons employed by the various
poBtdffices was 356, 00;),-and in the twelve
months there Were transmitted 683,000,000
letters, 546,000.000 post cards, 1,046,000
books and parcel, 1,672,000,000 news
papers and 117,0W),000 telegrams, the
gross weight of the matter sent through
the post being estimated at about 800,000
tons.
The lowest charge for the conveyance
of any letter or post card was one-fifth of
a cent, the highest $25. The total receipts
of the various offices amounted to $1V0,
750,000 and their expenditures to $159,
;00,0C0. These figures are surprising
when one remembers that les than half a
century aco the number of packages of
all kinds that pass through the postoffices
of the world was well under 100,000,000.

Some little time ago there appeared an
advertisement in a weekly journal in
which the writer aSTected to make as
offer to the reader, which he assumed no
one would answer, simply on account ol
tocredulity. Bis proposition was made as
a test to show if there was any faith left ,
in mankind. He didn't expect any reply,
hut he simply made the experiment
The offer was to the effect that if any of
".he readers would send him five 3 cent
stamps he would return them a present
suitable to their wishes. Nine people out
of ten would have eaid that no man or
woman could be gull enough to be taken
in by such a bait as this; nevertheless sev
eral parties sent the stamps, entered into
particulars of the station of life in which
they moved, and indicated the kind of
presents that wculd be acceptable. , One
young lady stated that she was about to
go to a ball, and no doubt believed tha
ihe would either get a silk dress or a pair
of diamond bracelets by return post'
