' ''[cOXTlNtini) l'KOM I.AST WEEK.]
?/What is your name?' asked the
general, after surveying Frit/, from
head to foot.
'Fritz Bollcrman; people call me
Solidaten fritzo, too.'
The general smiled and continued,
?Whfi'rb do,-yo.u couic^-iirutuJ!'

'In o$lIrft|> briijjgjnijy ^alber some

an undertone. 'Have -you gut them

'Yes, the best out of our cellar,' re
plied Frilx as he took the suck from
his shoulder and opened iL 'Just see
here, sir, all round and smooth as
pebbles.'
'Good, gojd,' ausjYQrciLtl^ ge^crai,

room aiul remain there till I call you.
Do you bear? In the meantime you
can leave your sack here.'
Frit/; laid bis .sack upon the ground,
slipped into the tent chamber, and
seated himself in a large arm chair,
which appeared to him uncommonly
easy and comfortable.
Exhausted by the severe walking
of that day; and more so by nervous
excitement, be soon fell intfjo.- sound
sleep. In this condition the general
found him, when, after the space of:
half an hour, be entered the chamber.
He left him sleeping quietly ai.d step
ped softly into bis tent.
When Fritz was forgotting care in
the refreshing arms oi sleep, the gen
eral was active in .bjs behalf lilI 1}c:

regiment
Without <lel:iy be ordered Boiler
man's prcsancc at supper. He also;
invited some lew superior oflicers, nnd
did not forget to impart some extra
orders to the cook.
In those days supper was eaten ear
lier hi the day than now. The guests
assembled at an curly hour and seated
themselves at the table. Not a few of
them were suprised to sec an orderly,
in an orderly's uniform, at the table
of a general.
But the most surprised was Sergeant
Bollernian himself.
The moat remarkable thing on the
general's table was a large covered
tureen, which the guests supposed to
contain a very costh* and delicate
dish, as they wero casting many a
wistful gl?uce at it.
The general naturally enough no
ticed their curiosity, but did-not make
the least mpvo to sntisfy id r ? 4 - Q
lie smiled when he glanced at the
disli and exchanged occasionally a
significant lopk, with bis adjutant,
from whom no one could discover
anything, since the secret Wns confin
ed to those two. Curiosity now'term!
hated in the highest surprise.
At lust the general bade the ser
geant uncover the tureen,so here all
eyes were intently fixed upon the
secret dish. What did they behold ?
Potatoes in the skin, which, indeed,
appeared neat and appetizing,and yet
disappointed tiri no/small clegjfoeKlrt)*
pampered tastes of tliV*gSfcits,'whorftnn*
expected something entirely different.
The only one who was heartily glad
was Sergeant Boilcrmajn, who eoyjjj,
scarcely- restrain lrimsclf frorn givirg
some expression to his pleasant stir
prise.
'Until now, gen ll em en,' observed
the general, while a p'ciisautsmilc was
playing upon bis face, 'till now you
have been my guests, heticefoilh, if
you wish to partake of those fine pota
toes, you address yourself to Sergeant
Bollci'inan. They are his.' ? .
The gentlemen shrugged their
shoulders. However, the general
seemed to worry himself in no way nt
this decided mark of disapprobation
on their part.
'If you only knew in what manner
I ho potatoes came into camp,' be con
tinued, 'you would think it to your
honor to get even one of them.'
'How so? How did that come lo
pa.-s?' asked the gentlemen. ?Please
narrate the circumstances.'
'I? Oil, no, gentlemen. I am a
poor hand at telling a pretty story,'
replied the general.
'But since I have observed that
yourselves as well as our excellent
Bollerman, have been somewhat an
noyed by curiosity, I shall endeavor
to salis'y your curiosity in another

H&it--chamber Whither all oycs^viW -'
now directed.
The heart of old I3oUcriMan now
beat almost to hoisting, and faint
forebodings of the truth seemed to
dawn in his mind.
After a moment's pause the curtain
which separated the chamber from the
ante-room rose, and in enters, led by
the hand of the adjutant, and survey

'Fritz! exclaimed the sergeant,
forgetting all respect due his superior
ofliecr.and rushing with open arms to
wards him, 'Frit/.! for Heaven's Mike
how did you get here ;'
The boy made no reply, but tumbl
ed with a loud cry into his father's
bosom. Both were held in each other's
embrace for a long time.
The ofliecrs were deeply moved
spectators jofjtho scene, and even from
the eyes of the general, who was a
kind-hearted and good timn, there fell
a tear of joy and sympathy. His
friendly iutcrfcrancc finally separated
the lather and son, and in some de
gree calmed their excited feelings.
'Tell your sloiy, my lad, how and
in what mannet* have you come hither,'

Fritz looked affectionately -at the
general, took his father by the band, I
sat by his side, and went on to relate
What vre already know. I *H<
The olliccrs were all attention.
Their severe mien bccanie m.ne friend

a hundred miles to furnish,him with

But the old sergeant:Beeindd to be ]
entirely ovo't conic with pleasure and
excitement; now laughing now weep

When Fritz bad finished bis story,!
the father *ecmcd to have forgotten j
his surrjutidings altogether.

his courageous boy, and impress more
than _n hundred, kissea u^op, his fltuh

replied with an honest anil frank re
At a signal from the gcncr.il. all
those present vacated the tent, and
left the delighted lather alonowith his
sun. After the lapse of half niV hour, I
the general returned and presented
the brave old sergeant with it note 01
dismission in one hand, and a purse I
filled with gold in the other.
I 'There is your discharge, my friend,

get to your family, which, of course,
will be rejoiced at the return of the
father.'
'My God ! general,.your grace is too
kind tu me,' stammered out the de
lighted orderly, who hardly knew at
which he should rejoice the most, the
condescension of the commanding
jofliccr, a.t-. his pension, or the wealth
of Iiis (rettY Soldutcufritze.
'Ilow have I merited such honors:*
'By your gallant conduct during the
last campaign; by the wounds which
through your bravery you received
during the last buttle, and which
would render you incapable of further
active service during life; and filially
through your boy, Soldatenfritze,
there. In him J have the assurance
i.
that you arc a good father, and such
a one bur king can make hotter use of

:who pio-nors father 'and mother, and

A Nj-:oko\s FiituHT.?A letter from
Norwich, Conn., to the Hartford Tun?
co'n tains the following story as told by
Qjeargo '\V. Fuller, a submarine di
vei^?Vlio is now in the foi iner city :
"While performing some work for'
'Uncle Sam' in one of the southern
ports, where it was customary for
those who supplied the market with
early garden truck to load their boats
and row them around to the wharf, it
happened that one day a burly negro
loaded his boat with watermelons, and
had just reached the dock where the
usual number of loungers stood watch
ing the operations of the diver. The
negro, till unconscious of his situation,
was zealously endeavoring to dispose
of his cargo, when Fuller suddenly
enVergfd, helmet first, from the water,
thrusting his goggle-eyes and ugly
head before the astonished occupant
of the boat, and seizing one of the
largest of the melons, sunk immed
iately, darkey, with a yell and a
'bound, reached the dock, and neither
slopped nor turned until he reached
home with the tidings that 'do dcbhlc
had ?fiscntcd de melons and was taken

which was unusually brief, I said to

that you each go to your house, and,
in the briefest time, take your place
in the bath room, and, turning oil the
coltl water, sit down and quietly medi.

he knew that.John Bull?s had stai tod

'No,'said he, 'when, where?'
'Why, at the old court house.'
'Ob, yes, I know it,' the doctor
carelessly replied ; 'but it is not ail

'No,' said tlte man, '1 am a Presby

'No,' .said the man, with energy,-'I
