Gjonbral Gordon and thk Popoi
ns.?One of the funniest stories I
ever heard was an anecdote of the
late General Gordon, says a writer in
the Era Magazine. Before the breaking
out of the war between the north
and south, General Gordon, who was
a bitter rebel, made speeches all over
the south Inciting the people to rebellion.
In his ardor he made frequent
use of the expression they would "whip
the yankees with popguns." In the
conflict that followed General Gordon
was one of the most valiant Confederate
fighters. His chivalrous record
as a soldier is one of the brightest
pages in war history. When the war
ended and the south was vanquished.
"he returned to his native home of
Athens, Ga, and revived his practice
as a lawyer. A few years later, when
a fierce campaign was on In the state,
he consented to speak at a number of
places, but his proslave views were
modified; he advanced new ideas, and
spoke of the building up of a new
south, under new conditions. One
night, in Macon. Ga., when he had finished
a brilliant oration on these lines,
an old fellow down in the middle of
the audience rose, and addressing the
general said:
"Look heah, seh! Didn't you make
a speech in this yer county, way back
yonder in *61?"
The general meditated; "I believe I
did, sir!"
"Well, didn't you tell us we could
whip them thar yankees with popguns?"
The genera! stood with military
erectness, and, buttoning his long
coat, replied:
"I think I did sir. But damn 'em
they wouldn't fight us that way."
Followbd Instructions.?M. Marcel
Provost, the well known French novelist,
is fond of telling the following
story:
"Whenever I see an English bishop,"
says M. Provost, "I laugh a little to
myself, for the good man's stately
presence reminds me of a mishap tfiat
once befell me. I entertained a certain
bisl&p last year at dinner. My butler,
an elderly man, had brought in
from a friend's house an inexperienced
lad to help hi'm in the dining room,
and It seems that this lad during the
laying of the cloth annoyed the butler
beyond endurance with questions
as to his duties.
" 'How shall I hold the plates?*
" '.Do I serve the dishes on the right
or on the left side of the guests?'
"'Must the bishop be served first or
second?* ,
"So he continued Interminably, and
at last the Impatient butler said:
" 'All you will need to do will be to
stand behind the bishop's chair, and,
whenever his lordship puts down his
glass, you must reach over and wipe
his mouth with a napkin.'
"That, as the butler expected, silenced
his assistant. But the young man
actually took the butler's ironical remark
for a serious order. As soon as
dinner began he stationed himself behind
the bishop, waited until his lordship
had drunk and put down his
glass, and then, as deliberately as his
nervousness would permit, he opened
out a large napkin and wiped the dignified
old gentleman's mouth. Imagine
my horror!"
Henry Ward Bbecher and the
Rooster.?That Henry Ward Beecher
was spared much embarrassment by
his quickness at repartee is illustrated
by the following story:
One evening, as he was in the midst
of an impassioned speech, some one
attempted to interrupt him by sudden
ly crowing like a rooster. It was
done to perfection; a number of people
laughed in spite of themselves, and the
speaker's friends felt that in a moment
the whole effect of the meeting, and of
Mr. Beecher*s thrilling appeals, might
be lost. The orator, however, was
equal to the occasion. He stopped, listened
till the crowing ceased, and then
with a look of surprise, pulled out his
watch.
"Morning already!" he said; "my
watch is only at 10. But there can be
no mistake about it. The instincts of
the lower animals are infallible."
There was a roar of laughter. The
"lower animal" in the gallery collapsed,
and Mr. Beecher was able to
resume as if nothing had occurred.

The Trouble.?"Do you know of
the only Irishman who ever committed
suicide?" asked W. B. Pollard of Jersey
City, who was at the Fifth Avenue
hotel last night. "You know it is said
that Irishmen never commit suicide,
and when the argument was advanced
in a crowd of that nationality he was
so unstrung that he decided to show
his opponents that Irishmen do sometimes
commit a rash act. He accordingly
disappeared, and the man who
employed him started a search. When
he got to the barn he looked up toward
the rafters and saw his man hanging
with a rope around his waist.
"What are you up to, Pat?" he asked.
"Oi'm hanging meself, begobs," the
Irishman replied.
"Why don't you put it around your
neck?"
"Faith, Oi did, but Oi couldn't
braythe," was the unsmiling reply of
the man from the Emerald Isle.
The Retort Discourteous.?He
boarded a street car and sat down beside
a woman passenger. He had Indulged
in cocktails and1 highbaiu not
wisely, but too well, and his intoxication
was apparent. With a scornful
air the woman passenger inched away
from him. The intoxicated newcomer
moved along until he was again
close beside her. Again she inched
away, and again he followed. Her
next move brought her to the end of
the seat, and a second later he was at
her side. Then, turning to him, she
exclaimed, angrily:
"If you were my husband, I'd
give you a dose of poison."
For a full minute he gazed at her
meditatively. Then he slowly and solemnly
replied:
"Madam, if I were your husband, I'd
take it."?Town Topics.
