The London Daily Chronicle tells us that England has lost a Thackeray enthusiast in Mr. Whitelaw i Beid. Speaking one night at the j Titmarsh club?of which he was a member?Mr. Beid bore testimony to the popularity which the author of "Vanity Fair" si ill enjoys in America. "For years I was constantly hearing gossip about Thackeray from those who had met hi in during his visits to us/' he said. "Their accounts all ran one way. They admired his talk and they loved him. . . . They pointed out the corner in the Century club where he used to sit exchanging literary chat, or, in Yankee arlance, 'swapping stories,' with a group of club men about him. They could tell you years afterwards what had been Thaekern v's fnvnviln nhnir on#l _ , ? I some bad even been so observant of the least trifles about the great man as to know what particular concoction in a club tumbler bad been hia favorite 'nightcap.' " SILVER PLATE OF THE NAVY Unrivaled for Beauty and Value?8erv; Ice Belonging to the Maine Has Been Re.otored. One of the most sacred possessions of the navy is a beautiful silver service, the gift of the people of Maine to the ill-fated battleship of that name. It was (he first gift of the kind in the history of the navy, and the beginning of a custom that up to date has given to the government the finest collection of silver plate in the world, a collection the total value of which is rapidly approaching the $450,000 mark. The Maine's service resled at the bottom of Havana harbor for a dozen years, and was found in good condition, all things considered, when the armv engineer*? hrnmrht Itm t *v,.. i o P?"* .... famous old ship to the surface a few months ago, and the silversmiths had no great difficulty in making it once more a thing beautiful to look upon.

I will answer some of >our questions: I never saw President Davis but one time, that was the 25ih of June while we were on I he way into the 7-days tiglu. He passed us riding alone; was diessed in gray suit. He .s quite a dipnifieo looking old cooii. Have seen Gen'l Lee i'nquontly and he is tiie finest specimen of humanity I have ever looked upon. I saw Gen'l Joe Johnson ttihe battle ol Seven Pints. He is a gay looking officer. JaCason is quite a common looking man, never saw him but oi.ee. Gt n'l Longstreet is a big fat man and if there is any sign in a red nose he must crook his elbow frequently. I saw Gen'l Fw el once. He lost a leg bo the first battle of Manassas. When It. trot well ue got a wooden leg and in the set ond Manassas last August it was shot otT and we learn that ne n >w has his fourth leg, and you ask me when will the war end. I won't tell you. Gen'l l.ee don't allow us to tell tales ut of school. You just ask Stephen Sutton's old negro Arter, \s he passes going to the mill, he can tell you as mucu as 1 can or you might ask John B ucc, he can tell ^o : or just as>\ Joe Kendrick, he knows everything. And John McGuire has hired to Dick Kendrick as substitute for 5.000. He sold out cheap. I would nave given him a million. Well, I suppose you have a bountiful supply of millers and railroad hands about now. If you know of any vacancies in either, let me Know quick. And now if you can't get through reading this in nme to go to the war, lay it away and you can finish it later on. J. H. Co tl arp. School Tax Election.
