7 Cuptnre auJ Recapture. A veteran of the Thirty -sixth Illinois volunteers furnishes tliis: After we had flanked Johnston's army from Dallas, it was, contrary to tho usual custom, tho fortune of tho First brigade Sheridan's old division to bo left be hind the army a few days, as a puard for an ambulance train. One day two of our men oneof them Jack Tyrrell, com missary of our brigade went to take a bath beyond and in sight of our picket line, in a small bayou, which temerity was observed by some of Ferguson's cav alry hovering in the vicinity, who de tached two men armed with sabers and carbines to bring them in. Doing with out arms they were surprised, and start ed off in deshabille, in the very face of the pickets, who dared not fire for fear. of injuring the prisoners. Each relel Rtarted in a dilferent direc tion with his charge. After going a short distance Tyrrell dodged to one side, exposing his captor to our pickets, who gave him a volley, but missed, ou which the Johnny, out of spite, returned the shot: when Tyrrell, taking advantage of his empty carbine, sprang and caught him by his abundant whiskers and dragged him from hi3 horse. Here a short struggle ensued, in which the Con federate had to give way to northern muscle, although they were both good types of their countries, and Johnny, minus his gun and saler, was marched to the picket lines by his escort, who guided him by walking ln-hind him with one hand in each side of his whiskers. It is useless to say that he was received by the picket s with considerable merriment. Theother Confederate, on seeing his com rade's fate, and hearing the whir of a few random shots, fled, and left his charge to come back at his wilL Do Liquors Produce Fat? Liquids make fat. There is no doubt of this in my mind, though I am fully cognizant of the fact that a good runny people will deny it. Thecharacter of the liquids has a good deal to do with it, but the practice of drinking invariably leads to unwieldy bulk. In Spain, where men drink little, a fat man is unknown. In Paris, where men contmt themselves with sipping thimblcsful of absinthe or small cups of black coffee, the French are thin to a remarkable degree. Tho wom en, on tho other hand, drink great quan tities of champagne, Durgundy and lat terly beer, and they are as a result prone to stoutness. In England men drink ale and beer, and they are a thick necked, pudgy and heavy race as a rule. I had observed all this many times, and when I went to Germany, where I knew the consumption of beer was very great, 1 had prepared to find fat men in abund ance. I was not disappointed. There would seem to bo absolutely no end of big, corpuient and unwieldy men in Ger many. Wliile in the army they are sum and pplendid looking warriors, but two months after they leavo tho ranks they become heavy, puffy and beefy to the last degree. This is even so in the ranks amomjthe other soldiers, and the cav- 01 suca u:$ruiuu weight that they always excitea com ment from strangere. Philadelphia Times. Tlie Hay Maris. In Ilayti tho people are divided into three classes tho blacks, the colored and the whites. Tho blacks arc, of course, tho most numerous, and they are also the most ignorant. Tho colored are those who have mixed blood in them and form the intelligent portion of the inhabitants. They are largely in the minority, but they are the only class competent I j con duct tho government. The whiles are those white men who go down thero as merchants. Many of these marry the colored girls, and then, of course, Le- I come more thoroughly identified with tho best interests of the government. The people generally, particularly the colored portion, have a curious mixture c.f traits. The negroe3 as a race are impressionable and excitable. They have these quali ties, and in addition the mercurial tem perament of the French, for nearly all are sent to Paris to complete their educa tion. This combination makes i hem dif ficult to govern, for there is :i natural jealousy between the blacks an-.l the col ored, and so affairs are generally more or less unsettled. Washington Star. Don't Mention the Kriers. It is not only a wise and happ7 thing to make the best of life, and always look on the bright 6ide, for one's own ske, but it is a blessing to others. Fancy a man forever telling his family how much they cost him! A little 6ermon on this subject was unconsciously preached by a child one day last fall: A man met a little fellow or the road carrying a basket of blackberries, and saidto liim: "Sammy, where did you get such nice berries?" "Over there, sir, in the briers." "Won't your mother be glad to see you come home with a basketful of such nice, ripe fruit?" "Yes, sir," said Sammy, "she always seems mighty glad when I hold up the berries, and I don't tell her anything about the briers in my feet." The man rode on, resolving that hence forth he would hold up the berries and say nothing about the briers. Atlanta Constitution. The photographic camera promises to bo of even greater service in medicine than was imagined. It seems to have literally a superhuman faculty of diag nosis. Some time ago a photographer liad as a subject a child apparently in Kool health, with a clear skin tnd good complexion. When the negative was examined, however, the picture showed the face to be covered with blotches. Within a week the child was covered villi the eruption of measles. Another i ase is recorded when a child's portrait showed spots a fortnight beforo it was luMup with smallpox and b.-fera any trace of tho disease had appeared.' It would seem that tho sensitive p'i-.tf of the camera ierccived and photographed the eruption before it was visible to tli-- naked eye. The Hospital. THE daU.V II Kit A Li) : 1'LATfSMOUTll.
