"Speaking of delicacies," said an old
veteran of one of the Louisiana regiments
the other afternoon, "the highest living
that ever fell to my Iot was dueing three;
weeks in the winter and spring. of 1865;
that I spent in the trenches at Peters-
burg. I don't mean to. say that the bill of ,

at the time of which I speak I thought 1.

The reporter to whom he was talking
remarked at this point that, while he had
not been there at the time, he had al-
ways, understood from those wfio had
that the trenehes of Petersburg did not
afford much scope or the gormand..
Then the veteran continued:
"It came about in this way: There were
eight of us in. our mess, and all of us ex-
cept one had managed eto get through the
winter with some sort of covering for
our feet. We called them 'shoes' then,
but I don't suppose ehat the term would
be used by many people of the present
generation who are used to patent leath-
er, vici kid tiled tan shoes. The eighth
man, however had gene barefooted from
November, 1844, until the middle of Feb-
ruaey, 1865. d don't know how it came
about, but he was finaliy issued re pair of
new shoes. The day the shoes were
given we all gathered ebout him and ea-
amined them with curiosity, and, it must
be confessed, a rather envious interest
Our messmate tooled at the shoes, then
at his are feet and then at us, as if de-
bating 'serious problem. Then he said;
'I'll tell ou what we'll do. I've gone
stand it now until Su men If two of
you fellows will take these shoes and
trade 'em off for something to eat, rn
make' a contribution to the bill of fare of
the mess.'
"That night two of us slipped out from
, the trenches, got through the Yankee
lines and went 20 miles out in Diitividdie
, county to a gristmill. We succeeded
trading the shoes for two bushels of
cornmeal and bore it back in triumph, ,

cornmeal 'coffee,' cornmeal cakes and
cornmeal gravy, and I reckon when we

Bret Harte and the Waitress.
Bret Harte has been so long a resident of
Great Britain that the days of his early
fame, when he was a new writer, and when
from time to time he appeared on American
leature platforms, seem very far away.
He still loves to tell anecdotes of those
early days, and among his stories is one of
the time that he lectured at the famous
New England town of Concord, Mass.
On the morning fellowing his lecture he
went down into the dining -room of the inn,
with hie mind filled: with thoughts of the
men who' had made the name of Concord so
widely famous.
Re looked dreamily from the window,
fancying Hawthorne and Emeison and
Thoreau and Aleott as they once paced
along that Village street. He was so wrap-
ped up in thoughts of tho past that he for-
got the present, and did not notice that h
prim young woman waiter was standing
patiently beside him.
When she saw that at length she was ob-
eerved, ahe rattled out, swiftly and without
a break between any of the words :
" Mush, coffee, teEk, ham, eggs, and bacon.

Shakspeare in. Virginia,.
Once, during the days of his early -strug-
gles, Booth, a contemporary tells, was
" barn.storming " down in Virginia, ab
place Called Lee s Landing, The improvised
theatre was a tobacco warehouse, and it
was crowded by the planters from miles
around. Booth and his companions had ar-
ranged to take the weekly steamer expected
late that night, and between the acts were
busy packing up. The play was the' Mer-
chant of Venire," and they were just going
on for the trial scene, when they heard a
whistle, and the manager came running in
to say that elle steamer had arrived and
would leave again in ten minutes. As that
was their only chance for a week of getting
away, they were in a terrible quandry.
" If we explain matters," said the manager,
" the audience will think they are being
cheated, and we will have a free fight. The
only thing for you fellows to do is to get up
some sort of a natural like impromptu end-
ing for the piece end ring down the curtain.
Go right ahead, ladies and gentlemen and
take your cue from Ned here, ' and he hur-
ried away to get his luggage -aboard.
" Ned," Of course, was Booth, who resolved
to rely upon the ignorance of the Virginians
of those days to pull him through all right.
So, when old George Ruggles—ewho was
playing Shylook—began tp sharpen his knife
en his boot, Booth walked straight up to
him and said, solemnly Yeu are bound
to have the flesh, are you ?" " You bet
your life!" said Ruggles. " Now, I'll make
you one more offer,' continuedBooth. "In
addition to this big be; of ducets, I'll throw
in two kegs of niggerhead terback, a shot-
gun, and a couple of the best 'coon dogs in
responded Shylock, much to the approba-
tion of the audience, who were tobacco
raisers and 'coon hunters to a man. " And,
to show that there's no ill feeling,5? put in
Portia, " we'll wind up with the Virginny
reel." When the company got aboard the
steamer, the captain, who had 'witnessed
the conclusion of the play, remarked : " I'd
