MAHON & ARNOLD,

Y-SEl-AN'is.-T'his good story
conies from Go ion. A tea planter,
wtho had a glass eye, was very desirous
to go and have a day's shooting with a
friend, but lie know that immediately
the nit'lves who wore at work on the
plantation got wor1 that he was away
they would not do a stroko of work.
Llow was lie to got ol?-that was the
(I uest ion. Afiter much thought an idea
struck him. Going upi to the men he ad
dIressedi thorm thus: "'Although I myself
will he absent, yet I will leave one of
my eyes to see that, you do our work."
And, mnuch to the surpriso and be
wiilermoint of thbe natives, ho took out
the glass eye and placed it on the
tump of a tree anid left. F'or some
time the niatives worked like ole
phiants, now and thben casting furl
Livo glances at, the eye to see if it
were still watching ;but at last one
of them, seizing his tin in which he
carrioz his food, approached the troo
and gently plaed~ it over the eye. As
soon as they saw thbat 1,boy were not
beinig watched~ they all lay down slept
peaceful ly until sunset.
-Thore Is a little story going the
roundls regarding the reward given
the soldiers. It Is said that in battle
the privates occupy the lir-ing line, the
corporals are one yard In the rear of
tibe prlvates, the sergeanits are Live
yards in the rear of the corporals, the
lioutenant,a twenty-lve yards In the
rear of the sorgeants, the captains 125
yards in the rear ol tho lieutenants,
the moajors 200) yardIs in the rear of
thbo captains, the colonels 500 yards in
the roar of the majors, the generals
5,,000 yards in the rear of the colonels,
whilo the commanding general is at
Washington, [D.C. After the battle
the( commzzanding general gets 98 por
cent of the glory, the brigadier general
14 per cent, the colonel i per cent;
other comnmissioned oilicers get the
balance, while the privates get talked
about on the lourth of July.
-When the Trwentieth regiment left
