The black cat that this luckless man saw was, to use his own words, "no household cat, but a bottle cf the- den:teats which has no existence."

The great Napoleon was, as in gen - mealy known, invariably attended by a etar. This story was implicitly believed at tho tirae, and it is said to have been first related by Geneva' Rapp, who, on visiting the monarch's tent at night, found Bonaparte excitedly pointing to a corner of the tent, crying "Do you tee thate-my stet?

The malaria was highly productive of disease, and the Chicka- hominy fever was dreaded by all the troops who had a recollection of • its ravages when they campaigned in that section of the country two years before. The operations had beeu so active that precautions against sickness had neces- sarily been much neglected, and the general was ansloue, while giving the men some rest, to improve the sanitary conditions. By dint of extraordinary exertions the camps -were weli policed and large quantities of fresh vegetables Were brought forward and distributed. Cattle were received in much bettei condition than those which had made long 'marches and had 'furnished bed which was far from being wholesome. Greater attention was demanded in the cooking of the food and the procuring of better water. Dead animals and offal were buried, and more stringent sani- tary regulations were enforced through. out the entire command. What was most distressing at this time was the condition of affairs at the extreme front. No eno who did not wit- uess the sights on those portions of the line where the opposing troops werci itt exceptionally close contact can feral an idea of the sufferings experienced.

"If you will tell me a story," re - maraca the reporter, accepting the tip, "I'll pay for the potatious. I have a thirst for a story; you have a thirst for a 'drink. Let us. exchange." The veteran was quick to respond, as the parebed soil respouds to the grateful rain, and, opening the door, he bowed the reporter in and escorted him to ate» ble in a quiet corner, where presently the potables were served. "I don't think 1 could have earned What 1 ani • now so greatly and grate. fully enjoying," said the veteran, with a glowing elleek, as he set down his glass, after a long swallow, "had it not been that today I met an old comrade from.

"It was a sad parting, for they had teen eleser tegether than most brothers, and before they separated they fired up a kind of signal to identify themselves by, so that if •cne was wounded and left on the field he could notify the other if it bappenea they were on the opposite sides in that particular fight. It was a boyish kind of a lottery chance of one in a million, but it suited them, and that's all they cared for. The signal ar- rangement was to be a light chain with a note fastened to it, aud the Whole thing Was to be fastened to the ballet and dropped into the old muskets they had in those days. This was to be fired at random up intothe air to fall animate the soldiers of the opposite side to be picked up as it might and taken to the recta whose address was in tho note, along with other instructions to be fol- lowed out by the brother who might be in condition to do it. You can ECO how childish and earnest impossible it was, but there was just that chance in it that made it attractive to the boys, and they told each other goodby and went their ways, the ono to the north, the other to the south, each bearing with him his death and note of identification attached to the bit of lead that FOI.:10 day might bear on its wings the mese:age of death." .
